Unforeseen demand

Naomi lay in the apartment the entire day, her bones on the verge of exhaustion.
Over the past two years, she had been preoccupied with matters concerning Lucas, never taking proper rest. Now, however, she found herself with some free time.
Rising, she drew back the curtains, revealing the darkness outside.
Naomi changed her clothes, grabbed her bag, and descended from the apartment. She intended to go out for a meal.
Just as she stepped out of the building, someone tapped her shoulder.
"Hmm?" Naomi was surprised, turning around.
Before she could see the person clearly, a sharp pain struck her neck.
Naomi closed her eyes, losing consciousness.
...
In the darkness, Naomi regained consciousness.
There was a dull soreness in her neck.
Was she kidn*pped?
The room remained unlit, devoid of any hint of light. Naomi attempted to move but found her entire body weak, devoid of strength. What was happening?
A 'click' sound signaled the opening of a door; someone entered!
"Who?" Naomi asked cautiously.
However, there was no response.
The sound of cotton slippers gently falling on the floor was barely audible. Naomi swallowed nervously as the person approached her!
"Ah..."
Her ankle was suddenly grabbed, and Naomi exclaimed in shock, breaking into a cold sweat. "What are you doing? Who are you?"
A broad palm, calloused in certain areas... this was a man!
Trying to break free, she found herself utterly powerless.
He remained silent, only the rustling of the air could be heard.
Naomi was tense; what was he up to? The smooth touch on her skin, was he putting stockings on her?
"..." Naomi stiffened.
"Help!" Naomi screamed in fear, opening her mouth.
To her surprise, not only did she lack strength throughout her body, but her voice also seemed to be nonexistent... she couldn't scream!
"Help... ah..."
The person leaned in, a large hand covering her eyes. What was he planning?
With a 'whoosh' sound, he pulled something, a silky sensation – perhaps a tie? The movements were gentle, securing it over her eyes, looping it and tying a knot.
"You..." Naomi's voice trembled, tearfully pleading, "What are you going to do? Mmm..."
The next moment, she was kissed.
A beastly, wild plunder, an overwhelming force!
Naomi's mind buzzed; was it him? That man!
She didn't resist his kiss, and under his guidance, a different sensation emerged...
In the darkness, Aiden smirked, flicking the lights on.
Naomi had a tie bound over her eyes, utterly powerless, cheeks flushed, lips slightly parted... truly beautiful!
Realizing his intentions, Naomi, vulnerable as a lamb, teary-eyed, pleaded, "Please, spare me! Don't, please... don't..."
Aiden smirked, enjoying her plea. Throughout the night, he wanted her to beg! Spare her? Impossible!
"Ah..." Naomi shrank back, "Is it you? Is it you!"
Aiden frowned. Why did she ask like that? Who did she mistake him for?
"This gentleman!" Naomi cried, "It's you, right? The one from 'Heaven on Earth'! Isn't it?"
Oh? Aiden raised an eyebrow; she said that...
Slightly uplifted, he hadn't been mistaken for someone else. Well then, he might consider being gentle to her for a while.
Naomi's guess wasn't baseless. She resisted men, except for that night at 'Heaven on Earth' and him...
She faintly remembered his scent.
"Sir, please spare me!" Naomi pleaded tearfully.
Aiden continued without pause, his movements becoming fierce.
"Stop!" Naomi, powerless to resist, cursed through tears, "Let me go! Mmm—"
Aiden kissed her, silencing her.
Naomi closed her eyes, no longer voicing despair. Soft sobs escaped her throat...
However, her body seemed to be gradually losing control.
Naomi felt thirsty, her body burning as if placed on a fire. She didn't know what to do...
The only one who could save her now was that man.
So, she clung tightly to him, unwilling to let go for a moment, embracing tighter with each passing second.
Intermingled sweat and breath, even heartbeats pressed against each other...
Aiden seemed to possess inexhaustible strength, yet it was not enough! Never enough.

"Ah—"
Naomi woke up abruptly, sitting up on the bed with a start, drenched in cold sweat.
She breathed heavily, gazing around in astonishment.
This was... her apartment? What's going on? Why was she in her own apartment?
Naomi supported her head, shaking it vigorously...
Could it be a dream? Dreaming of entangling with that man all night long? How could that be possible? If it was a dream, it felt too real!
But, if it wasn't a dream, how could she explain being in her apartment now?
Her mind was a mess, a pulp-like confusion. What on earth had happened?
Lifting the blanket, she got out of bed and went to the bathroom.
Splashing her face with cold water, Naomi looked up at her reflection in the mirror... There was a small cut on her lips, slightly painful.
Suddenly, she remembered the dream-like scene...
In the intense moment, the man bit her!
Naomi broke into a cold sweat, hastily pulling open her nightdress... Chest, shoulders, covered in red kiss marks!
It wasn't a dream; it was real! This small cut and these kiss marks... were evidence!
She had truly been with that man...
Naomi stiffened, a chill running down her spine... How did she get involved with him?
Naomi clenched her fists, gritting her teeth. No, she couldn't let this man have his way! But... Naomi's mind was blank.
About the man— who was he? How did they end up doing such things together?
She knew nothing, how... what should she do?
Having experienced this, Naomi was at a loss for words!
Lowering her head, Naomi buried her face in the sink.
The phone rang outside, and Naomi hurriedly got up, rushing out.
Lucas? Naomi frowned, why was he calling her?
Naomi didn't answer, tossing the phone aside. Just as she put it down, the phone rang again, this time not Lucas.
"Hello?"
It was the hospital calling, and the nurse's tone was rather unpleasant.
"Family of Wenzong Wen? Are you people okay? None of your phones are answering! The patient is lying in the hospital, is it handed over to the hospital? You don't care anymore, is that the meaning?"
"Ah?" Naomi was taken aback; these past two days, to avoid Lucas, her phone was mostly switched off.
"Nurse, I'm sorry... may I ask if something happened to my grandfather?"
"The patient's condition is critical, new complications have arisen, and none of your family has come... the doctor needs to talk to someone. Who will it be?"
Naomi was stunned; none of the family had gone?
With a sinking heart, could it be that even her father Andrew hadn't gone? This...
Naomi tightened her fists; these past two years, Andrew had been increasingly disrespectful to Grandpa! Could it be that he had forgotten how he got to where he is today?
"Nurse, I'll go right away."
Hanging up the phone, Naomi immediately hailed a cab to rush to the Hai Cheng City Hospital.
If it weren't for this call from the hospital, Naomi would almost have forgotten that she still had relatives in Hai Cheng! Her father, right here in Hai Cheng.
However, her father already had his own family, a new wife and children...
