Chapter 129
Benjamin crawled onto the bed, moving closer to Natalie. His eyes were filled with a crazed desire as he leaned over her, inhaling her scent deeply.
“You’re intoxicating,” he rasped. “After tonight, you’ll see that only I can make you happy p>
He pulled something from his pocket and tossed it into his mouth. After swallowing, he produced another pill, this time for Natalie. He pinched her chin, forcing her jaw open.
“Take it. Once you do, we’ll experience true ecstasy together p>
Natalie clenched her teeth, refusing to open her mouth. Benjamin squeezed harder, a sharp pain shooting through her jaw as if it were about to dislocate. Her mouth fell open, and he forced the white pill inside. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ.net
“Agh p>
Benjamin cried out as Natalie, spurred by the pain, found a sliver of strength and bit down hard on his finger. Her eyes blazed with hatred, the metallic taste of blood filling her mouth.
With his free hand, Benjamin slapped her hard across the face, finally wrenching his bleeding finger from her teeth. Blood dripped onto the white bedsheets.
“You dare bite me! I’ll make you wish you were dead p>
Humiliated and high, he was completely unhinged. Natalie was wearing a white blouse and beige trousers. He grabbed the collar of her shirt and ripped it open, sending buttons flying and exposing the pale skin of her chest.
Benjamin swallowed hard at the sight, lunging at her like an animal.
Natalie, with what little strength she had, crossed her arms over her chest. “Benjamin White, if you touch me, you’ll regret it p>
“Regret it?” He laughed as if she’d told a hilarious joke. “Are you talking about Eugene Ramirez? You don’t really think I’m afraid of him, do you? It doesn’t matter. I just love taking other men’s women. The ones you have to steal are the most delicious p>
By the end, his expression was utterly depraved.
Natalie knew she couldn’t physically fight him off. Her only chance was to scare him long enough to get to her phone and call the police.
“What about Alexander Ramirez? Are you not afraid of him either p>
Alexander was a notoriously ruthless figure in Cabinda’s business world. Anyone who crossed him met a terrible end.
Benjamin froze for a second. Seeing his hesitation, Natalie pressed on. “If you lay a hand on me, he will never let you get away with it p>
She knew she meant nothing to Alexander, but right now, his name was her only weapon.
“You think Alexander Ramirez would come after me for you?” Benjamin asked, feigning fear. “Should I let you go right now p>
“You know what he’s capable of. I have a meeting with him tonight. If I don’t show up, he’ll come looking for me. Do you really want to accelerate The White Group’s bankruptcy, Benjamin p>
She was bluffing, saying things she knew would never happen. She wished Alexander would realize she was missing, but even as she used his name to threaten Benjamin a cold clarity washed over her Relying or him was a fantasy. She had to save herself.
Benjamin’s feigned terror vanished, replaced by a twisted grin. “He is formidable. But I’m not afraid p>
The drug had taken full effect, stripping away his last shreds of sanity. Tearing off his own shirt, he pounced on her like a starving wolf, his eyes bloodshot with lust.
Natalie cried out and scrambled toward the foot of the bed. Just as she was about to fall off, a powerful force yanked her back. Benjamin’s hand closed around her throat.
“Where do you think you’re going? You’re not escaping tonight p>
He fell upon her, his lips leaving a trail of slobbering kisses on her face and exposed shoulders. Suddenly, a series of urgent knocks sounded at the door, followed by the hotel. manager’s voice
“Mr. White, I’m here with your late-night snack. Could you please open the door p>
Benjamin, consumed by his frenzy, ignored the interruption. But for Natalie, it was a lifeline.
“Help me she gasped.
She expected her voice to be a clear
cry for help, but what came out was a low, breathy moan, like a sound of pleasure. A wave of heat washed over her, an unbearable ache spreading through her body. She realized with horror that the Spill
Benjamin had forced her to take was taking effect.
The knocking continued. “Mr. White, if you could just—” “Get lost! I don’t need anything!” Benjamin roared at the door. Suddenly, with a tremendous crash, the door flew off its hinges.
