I huffed and said, "You pushed me first."
Benjamin said: "You went around my back and came here!"
"I'm on a business trip." I explained.
"A f*cking three-year-old can tell what he's up to!"
I squinted and said, "Benjamin, enough is enough."
Benjamin hooked my shoulder and brought me into his arms, and said coldly: "Remember, Emma, I am definitely not a forgiving man. I can let go of what happened today, but make sure it never happens again."
That was it?
Benjamin took me to his apartment in City B that night, a place no less luxurious than Elysia.
I went to the bathroom and took a shower. I heard Benjamin's cell phone ringing. I looked down at the coat he put on the bed. After hesitating for a long time, I reached out and took it out of his pocket and gave it to him.
He took it and glanced at the note and his expression suddenly froze. After a long time he got up and went to the balcony to answer the phone. His voice was very low.
He deliberately kept it from me so I simply went back to the room.
It was a call from Teresa.
People who were once in my world reappeared in my head little by little, and in an instant, some fragments flashed in my mind.
A woman I had never seen was raging in front of me. She said Benjamin was hers, and she said I was the home-wrecker.
I stretched out my hand to cover my head and sat on the bed in pain. Many things swelled in my mind, but in the end they all disappeared completely. I looked up in fear and saw a beautiful face.
I guessed she was Teresa.
Because according to Victoria's words, Benjamin only dated Teresa and Edith before, and she just said that I was a home-wrecker...
Except for Teresa, I couldn't figure out who it could be. I blamed Benjamin, blamed him for approaching me unscrupulously but kept everything from me, blamed him for disguising himself without any flaws.
When I woke up from hypnosis, my head was very chaotic. I didn't remember anything from the past, but now many scenes were flashing in my mind. I wanted to grab some useful information but they all flashed by too fast.
I bent my body on the bed in pain. At this time, the door was pushed open. Benjamin stood upright at the door, raising his eyebrows: "Did I say that I will definitely make you regret it when I find you?"
I moaned in pay and said, "Didn't you say you were gonna let it go this time?"
"Well, I did."
Benjamin sat on the edge of the bed and put his hand into my clothes, curled his lips and said: "But if I don't give you any punishment, you will think you don't have to bear any consequences, and you will make the same mistake next time."
"Benjamin, I'm on a business trip." With a splitting headache, I gritted my teeth and said: "You disappeared for three days without a trace. Did I say anything?"
"Did I tell you not to say anything?"
Benjamin ravaged my breast with his palm and sighed, "Mrs. Dunn, you can get me home by calling."
I reached out and took his hand out of my clothes, glared at him and said, "I want to rest now, get off of me."
He liked to bicker with me, but I was in no mood now.
I turned over and covered myself with a quilt. The headache felt like it was about to tear me apart. A lot of emotions overwhelmed me like waves, but what was I sad about?
Benjamin came up from behind and hugged me with one hand, his other palm rubbed gently along my cheek: "I want it."
He wanted to have sex, I pursed my lips tightly and ignored him.
Benjamin pushed away my hand to take off my clothes, I immediately sat up and pushed him away, sternly: "Benjamin, don't touch me!" "Why are you crying?" Benjamin suddenly calmed down. I was startled and reached out to touch my cheek. I was crying.
I burst into tears. I didn't even know what I was crying for. Benjamin was taken aback and immediately embraced me in his arms. His lips softly comforted at my ears and asked, "Emma, what happened?"
"Benjamin, I am very confused. I really want to know what happened back then, and I really want to know what..."
What happened between me and him.
I sobbed feebly in his arms: "I don't know anything about that year. I am so terrified. I am afraid that Zack and some others I don't even know might come to me with some intentions."
Hearing this, Benjamin suddenly let go of me coldly, and I slumped on the ground at a loss, feeling terribly uncomfortable.
Benjamin reached out and took the coat on the bed. He took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it. The bright flame burned at his fingertips. The faint smoke and the dark night covered his face, adding a touch of mystery and indifference.
"Zack mentioned me to you, right?"
I looked at him nervously. Benjamin's eyes were bright. He was silent for a long time, and his voice was as indifferently as calm water said: "Zack should have told you who I am, and you should know that you are Edith. When I was in City B, you called me and said that you had something that was troubling you and you would tell me when I got back. I guess you knew that you had amnesia at that time, but you hesitated to tell me. And you suddenly confessed on the night of the cruise, Actually, you wanted to test me, right?" He guessed everything exactly the same as it was.
He even knew that I knew I was Edith.
I stared at him and asked: "Why are you hiding these things from me? Why did you say that it was my sister when I found out?"
I reached out and wiped the tears from my face, and my heart suddenly became calm, because I've finally mustered the courage to talk to him about this.
Benjamin: "Don't you have a sister named Edith?"
"Edith is my sister, yes, but a man like you will definitely investigate every single thing about me, and you would know that Edith died in an accident when she was five years old. Even if you were not sure I was Edith at that time, But when you met Zack, you were sure, because the person he was looking for was the same person you were looking for!"
