One Night Surprise Novel

Chapter 238

Chapter 238 I Killed Someone

Tobias wondered whether the universe had a bone to pick with him. He had not even managed to have the one night stand he wanted before he was beaten up out of the blue. He was blinded by fury and the weapon in his hand felt like an extension of him. He knew he could not afford to offend Alexander, but by that point, he couldn’t care less.

He was sure that the back of Alexander’s head would crack open if he struck him hard enough.

He was already thinking about the glorious moment when Alexander’s head would split open. He would then boast to others about how he had defeated the almighty Alexander Duncan by beating him into a pulp in an act of self-defense.

However, reality was often far less merciful than one would imagine.

Before Tobias could even strike Alexander on the head with the lamp, he heard a resounding crack and felt the back of his own head caving in. It was then followed by the sensation of warm liquid trickling down his nape, which caused his body to turn cold.

 

Courtney was standing behind him with a steel pole in her grip; her face was a ghastly shade of white.

Tobias was startled at the impact and he mechanically turned to look at her in disbelief.

 

The pole clattered to the floor noisily and rolled over to the corner of the room, joining the pile of destroyed s*x toys. Tobias opened his mouth to speak, but before the words could come out, he blacked out and fell from the bed.

“I-I killed someone…” Courtney stuttered, staring at her own hands as her face was drained of color. She could not so much as move an inch forward; her legs felt as though they had turned into lead.

“There’s so much blood…” There was an intense ringing in her ears and her vision was also blurring. She was trembling all over and she could not stop murmuring the word ‘blood’.

However, before she could regain her senses, her whole body was pressed against the warmth of someone’s chest. A strong pair of arms encircled her and held her tight; it nearly suffocated her.

Alexander held her in a tight embrace, as if she was something precious that he had lost and found. He buried his face into her shoulder until he was convinced that she was real and only then did the panic in his eyes fade away.

Up until the moment she showed up, he had thought that he would never see her again. Tobias had made it sound as though something terrible was about to happen to the woman he loved the most.

The police siren was wailing outside the window. It did not take long before the police came up the stairs to seal the crime scene. As they brought out all the witnesses, Courtney exited the room with Alexander holding her in his arms. She was shaken, but before she could get a word in with him, she was brought away by the police for questioning.

“Courtney Hunter.”
