Love You Can’t Say

“What about human lives? Do you know how many families will be destroyed and how many people will be killed when so much ice flows out?” I asked.

Benjamin’s eyes flooded with chill, staring straight ahead, said painlessly, “Everyone has to pay the price for their choices, everyone is the same, the best is just the worst.”

“But they should not have had this option in their lives!” I was so angry that I actually reasoned with him, and after I finished, I reacted with hindsight that it was a waste of effort, helplessly holding my forehead and smiling bitterly.

“Come on Clara, I don’t think you’re such a fragile person.” Benjamin suddenly spoke out, as if deliberately flirting.

Calm down Clara.

I kept admonishing myself in my mind that only by being calm could I continue to fight with this cold creature.

I thought about Dennis and whether it was because he had also been here that he made the decision to falsely defect.

But I should not think, fate sometimes likes to joke with people, this thought just flashed in my head, the distant elevator “ding” opened.

The pale man, who was supported by Toby to stand, was Dennis.

He was breathing heavily, the left side of his chest was injured by something, blood stained a large area, looked up and hit my eyes, only for a second, then quickly moved away, harsh gaze fell on Benjamin.

Toby was also injured, wearing only a thin shirt, which was also stained with a lot of blood and mud, compared to Dennis to be much more wretched, but his eyes than Dennis more ruthless, the same, that ruthlessness is also running to Benjamin.

I looked at them, my heart felt like it was being rubbed over and over, and I couldn’t breathe from the pain, and I choked up and asked, “What’s going on?”

Dennis pressed his hand to the wound, braced himself to hold the corners of his mouth and smiled coldly, “Yeah, I was going to ask the same thing, what’s going on, my good brother?”

Benjamin swept him a faint glance, then gave an extremely perfunctory surprise, “Ah, could it be that the cops found out when you were trading, big brother? How come you’re so careless?”

Please brother, can you act a little more like it?

This knowing look, is afraid that others can not see that it is you who is behind the scenes?

A cool breeze passed through my back, and I jerked back to the scene where Benjamin was messaging someone when I got in the car in front of my house.

In retrospect, he simply calculated everything, bringing me to visit is fake, let Dennis intervene in the business is also fake, he is deliberately to take this opportunity, asked me to see with my own eyes Dennis for their own choice of blood injury.

“Everyone has to pay for their choices”, so that’s what it means.

The simplicity is not only for the people of the island, but also for me.

I was foolish enough to believe that Benjamin would follow the rules of the game and protect my loved ones as a gentleman or concentrate on conquering the game of love without caring about Dennis, but it turns out that I was too presumptuous.

He wants both to play the game as he pleases and to put Dennis to death.

What to do now.

My palm trembled, I couldn’t think, I rushed over and slapped Benjamin across the face.

“Pop-”

In this moment, the whole world seemed to be quiet.

The sharp-eyed employees were surprised to see the scene with their mouths wide open, and almost made a production accident, and easily recovered, but still could not fade away the shock on the face.

No one expected that Mr. Vance, whom they worshiped like a god, would be treated in such a way.

Benjamin’s face tilted to the side, but did not return immediately, but kept the motion of being knocked askew and fell into silence.

The tingling sensation in my palm came and my thoughts cleared up just that little bit.

That’s right, the truest reaction instead has a get-out-of-jail-free card in front of Benjamin.

Swallowing nervously, I glared at him with resentment, “You deserve this.”

Benjamin then recovered and turned his face to look at me slyly as I loosened my stiff neck, his gaze dangerous and stern.

Now concede and lose, I clenched my teeth, open up, and said, “The game is over, I do not play, with you such unruly people without bottom line to play, is simply a waste of time.”

“When have I ever misbehaved, what I promised you was to keep Dennis alive, isn’t he alive and well now?” Benjamin narrowed his eyes and looked at me thoughtfully, “So am I to assume that you got this slap wrong?”

I was stunned for a moment and didn’t know how to respond.

Benjamin, however, did not stop his aggressive rhythm, suddenly reached out and cupped my jaw with long, strong, powerful fingers.

His cold face came up to me a little bit, and it seemed that even the breath he exhaled was cool, “If you make it, you should be punished, and now, in front of everyone, coax me.”

I struggled, but only received increased force from his hands, which made my scalp tingle with pain, so I had to let go for the moment and replied vaguely, “What do you want?”

“It’s simple,” Benjamin smiled, “kiss me and hold me tight.”

I smiled and frowned, and the rest of my eyes quietly peeked in Dennis’ direction, not answering the question.

Benjamin took advantage of the situation and increased the intensity, so much so that I had to withdraw my eyes and look at him to listen to his lesson, “I have satisfied so many of your requests, courtesy, and you should not refuse, otherwise, I will have to solve this misunderstanding in another way.”

With that, he smiled and looked at the two Dennis and Toby at the stairway, with a strong killing intent flashing under his eyes.

I suddenly understood Dennis’ plight. There is nothing that cannot be given up in front of the life of the beloved one.

“Good.” I let go of my resisting hands and let them hang down on the sides of my body, closing my eyes and breathing a long sigh of relief, “I’ll do as I’m told, you let go.”

The force in Benjamin’s hand instantly dissipated into a gentle caress, “I like you so much the way you are now.”© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

What does it look like?

Resigned, resentful but having to hold back, being swayed by him like a machine?

It’s just that I can’t get the upper hand every time, and that makes it look even more suspicious.

“Let’s do it.” Benjamin patted my cheek, withdrew his hand, and leaned over slightly, waiting to receive the “fruits of victory”.

I was almost ready to break, but after a tangled glance at the silent Dennis next to me, and suddenly a bright light, in the moment Benjamin closed his eyes, again raised his hand, dry landing, leaving a clear slap mark on his face.

Benjamin was finally irritated by me and grabbed me directly by the throat, “Seeking death.”

“Mrs. George!” Toby saw the situation and tried to come to the rescue, but only heard the “bang” of the gun, and then fell to his knees.

Benjamin had somehow gotten the gun in his hand and hit him in the calf.

When I reacted again, the muzzle, which still accounted for the bloodthirsty temperature of the last bullet, was already against my forehead.
