Chapter 6 Smash
- I laughed mirthlessly. “You’re a funny guy, Ben. You and your mother pushed Ronald onto me in the first place. You wanted me to cheat on you. All I did was sleep with another guy who’s not Ronald. What difference does it make?”
- Ben was enraged about me exposing his ED, so he tried to assault me. Good thing I came prepared though, or he would have gotten his hands on me. I tried to take my taser out, but Lilian smacked the back of my head with a rolling pin. Yes, I did not see that coming.
- …
- My head was still hurting when I woke up, then I realized I was lying naked on the sofa. But more importantly, Ben was snapping my nudes, so I instinctively covered my private parts. “What are you doing?”
- Ben shook his phone, sneering. “I got your nudes, Shelly. You’re not getting back the dowry, and you’re not getting the divorce either. Bring it up again and I’ll post your nudes to your company’s website.”
- I glared at him hatefully, but I knew there was nothing I could do for now, so I clothed myself first. He’s one hell of a piece of work.
- Then Ben showed me my taser smugly. “Didn’t expect you to bring a taser with you. Looks like you were prepared to assault me. Well, since you showed no mercy, I shall spare none. Ronald’s knocking you up tonight, and I’m not taking no for an answer, or else.”
- I knew Ben was already beyond the point of no return, but I could do nothing to vent my anger. If I had a knife on me, I would have plunged it deep into his rotten heart. At this point, there was only one thing left for me to do. I clenched my fists and tried to smash my head against the table. I’d rather die than let him do whatever he wanted with me. No matter what, I would not allow him to ruin me.
- But before I could kill myself, I felt an electric current surging across my waist, robbing me of my strength. I lost my bearings and fell with a thud, spasming from the attack. Ben looked down at me cruelly with the taser in his hand, snarling, “Oh, you’re trying to kill yourself. I’m not letting that happen. I need you to bear my child still, you know.” I couldn’t believe someone like him was the kind man I dated three months ago.
- I shot him a killing glare. “Curse you, Tyson! I’ll kill you even if it’s the last thing I do!”
- Suddenly, I heard footsteps outside, and my heart sank. Is Ronald here again? Then someone opened the door, but I couldn’t even muster the strength to see who it was, though I realized a pair of expensive shoes was closing in by my side. It was custom-made and cost a bomb, so it couldn’t have been Ronald, as he couldn’t afford it.
- Ben gasped. “Y-You’re…”
- Lilian came out to see who it was, and she froze. A moment later, she cursed, “You b*stards! Are you here for this slut? Then pay up! You’re not getting away after you slept with my daughter-in-law! Two grand! Or you’re not getting away!”
- I felt someone turning me over and picking me up. First I saw his eyes, and they were filled with nothing but immeasurable fury, then I saw his face. It’s the guy who saved me yesterday! I scurried off yesterday because I couldn’t bring myself to face him, though I didn’t think we’d meet again this soon.
- I was confused, but I instinctively held his arm, as I knew I was safe as long as he was here.
- The man glanced at me and gently pushed my fringe away. Then he turned to Ben and Lilian. “Smash everything, Steven,” he said coldly.
