I Refuse to Be Your Second Choice novel 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..."

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."

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.

"Agh!"

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!"

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!"

"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."

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?"

Alexander was a notoriously ruthless figure in Cabinda's business world. Anyone who crossed him met a terrible end.

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?"

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 pill 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.
