A Farewell After Being Reborn

“Trying to bribe me now?" Benjamin snickered. "If it weren't for you, I would have signed the deal with Holcomb Corporation by now. I could have achieved financial independence after Mimosa's IPO. How can you ever make up to me?"

“I don't know what financial independence looks like to you, but as you know, I'm pretty rich and married to lan Holcomb. Our marriage might be on the rocks, but he can afford to give me a few million. How does 100 million dollars sound to you?" Sage countered, attempting to sway Benjamin.

She added, "Mr. Xenith, I know you abducted me here to vent your anger. But even if you beat me up, your circumstances won't improve. Take the money. Isn't that better?"

“Your negotiation skills surprise me. But do you take me for a fool?" Benjamin scoffed. "I'm aware you'll report me to the authorities once you're freed, and lan Holcomb won't let it slide. What good is money then?" Benjamin sneered. "The moment I decided to abduct you, I vowed not to be swayed by money."

Undeterred, Sage persisted, "Mr. Xenith, I can persuade lan Holcomb to reinvest in your winery. We can pretend this abduction never occurred. You've run into a tricky situation, but let's have a discussion to solve the problem."

"Enough of your nonsense!" Benjamin's smirk turned sinister as he traced her lips with his fingers. "I wonder how your glib tongue feels.” Repulsed, Sage recoiled, earning herself another slap.

"Ungrateful little bitch!" Then, Benjamin turned to his subordinate. "Force her mouth open and feed it to her. Let's see if she'll end up begging for some love and attention on the ground.”

Sage realized what Benjamin intended to force upon her. She frantically tried to devise an escape plan, but she was bound in a room devoid of anything except two chairs and a bed. The abandoned house seemed to be in a desolate area, rendering her cries futile.

"Don't exhaust yourself. My advice for you is to behave. You'll suffer less than way." Benjamin brandished a sharp knife and pressed it against her face. "If you don't, you will bid goodbye to this lovely face of yours."

Worried he might hurt her, she kept quiet. The lackey brought a medicine bottle, forced her mouth open, and poured some unknown liquid down her throat.

She felt the bitter liquid flowing down her throat and into her stomach. She tried spitting it out, but it was too late. She glowered at Benjamin. "What did you just make me ingest?"

“Don't worry. It's just some hallucinogen. You might find me disgusting now, but you'll be on your knees begging for some of this later." He chuckled gleefully. Even his lackey looked eager to have a taste of her, which sent her spiraling into despair.

lan was at the Holcomb Manor, oblivious to her plight. Donald, unaware of her visit, would not seek her out. The Holcombs' driver was injured and probably too incapacitated to ask for help. Who else could come to her aid?

"No one can save you today. Pleasure me, and I might consider going easy on you if I'm in a good mood." He read her mind, looking smug. "Mrs. Holcomb, your husband has declared war on those who thought of supporting me. The girl from the orphanage must have changed her testimony because of him.

“You have only your rotten luck to blame for marrying lan Holcomb. I cannot challenge him because I can't measure up to his wealth, but I can circulate videos of me fucking his wife!"

Sage was appalled by Benjamin's madness.All content is © N0velDrama.Org.
