The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1641

"Please, stop crying. Who are you? What is this place?" Lewis asked, his head throbbing. He was nursing a hangover.

The woman didn't seem to hear him as she didn't respond to him at all.

She seemed to be lost in her thoughts. After sobbing for a while, she then opened her mouth to finally speak. When she did, her voice was raised and angry.

"Last night at the bar, I had too much to drink, and you took advantage of me by bringing me here! I was drunk, and you forced me here. I wouldn't have come with you if I weren't drunk! You bastard! How dare you!"

She felt violated, and Lewis was rightfully to blame. Growing furious, she started to punch Lewis on the chest.

Lewis' mind was racing. He couldn't remember anything from the previous night.

He had no idea what she was talking about. He tried to remember as much as he could about the previous night, but it was all in vain as all he got was a headache from thinking too hard.

'What did I do? Is everything she has accused me of true? I really can't remember anything!'

As Lewis tried to rack his mind further, the door was suddenly kicked open.

Lewis jolted upright at the sudden commotion. Before he knew it, a burly man was in front of him. Behind him were three other men who looked just as burly as the first one. They pulled Lewis to the floor and started beating him up.

"You bastard! How dare you do that to my wife?! Don't you know who I am? The nerve! Hit him! Hit him! Beat him to death!"

"Yes, Brother!"

"Stop! Stop it! You're going to kill him!" the woman cried.

The leader seemed infuriated by his wife's words. He ordered his men to continue beating Lewis up. He then walked towards her and slapped her across the face before she could even say anything.

"Bitch! I've been nothing but good to you! How dare you fuck around with someone else behind my back!" The guy shouted angrily, at his wife. He had slapped her so hard across the face that it left a red mark on the woman's cheek.

The woman tugged at her husband's sleeve as if pleading. She then explained, "No, it's not what you think! He forced himself on me! He brought me here, and I didn't even know it! I was drunk!"

"Who the hell are you people? Stop it!" Lewis shouted, enduring all the pain.

No one listened to him. Instead, they beat him even harder.

The men who were beating Lewis up didn't seem to want to stop, as if they were taking out all the anger they had on Lewis.

After a few moments, the leader raised his hand and asked his men to stop beating Lewis.

The guy said a few words, his tone still indignant. Lewis listened carefully, and he finally understood what was happening.

According to what Lewis had heard, the man suspected his wife of having an affair. He came here to catch her in the act.

Lewis was sharp enough to see right through their story. He knew this was all a set-up. The woman was clearly in on it too so they could trap Lewis. Their story was too ridiculous to be true.

'Damn it! Why was I so careless?' Lewis blamed himself for not being cautious enough, and thus getting trapped in this whole mess.

"What do you want? Tell me!" Lewis knew he had been trapped, so he asked them what they wanted from him.

He didn't want to waste time pleading and begging. He had already accepted that he would have to make a deal.

"You slept with my wife. You tell me how we're going to settle this!" The man pointed at his wife and then turned toward Lewis as he shouted at him.

Lewis was annoyed when he saw the woman had buried her face in her hands and started crying again.

"How? How do you expect me to settle this with you?" Lewis asked, his face blank and his voice indifferent.

"What's with the attitude? Don't you know what you did to my wife? Do you want me to call the police, and have them settle this?" the man threatened.
