    Chapter 28: The Last Two Days


    “What do you mean?” Martina clearly didn’t understand. She felt that the man’s words. were too


    profound, making it difficult for her toprehend for a while.


    However, Benjamin had apletely different perspective. He believed that Martinal


    was deliberately ying with him. “So, you really want to never see me again for a lifetime?”


    He asked grimly. “Do you think it’s possible? Do you think I would give you such an


    opportunity?”


    The anger in Benjamin’s eyes gradually surfaced. He had indeed endured for a long


    time, to the point where he could no longer bear it.


    “Benjamin, I believe that I have made it very clear between us. Regardless of whether


    you think it’s possible or not, it will eventually be a reality. We are done.” Martina


    answered. She intended to exin things to Benjamin in the most straightforward manner.


    Then, just like when she came, she would leave lightly, without taking anything or


    affecting anyone.


    But now it seemed that things weren’t as simple as they appeared, because Benjamin


    had never intended to let go of her so easily.


    Could it be that in Benjamin’s eyes, Martina had truly be a mere essory to be


    carried around? To the point where even a slight disobedience would make him feel.


    offended?


    Martina increasingly felt that her past efforts and perseverance were nothing but a


    ridiculous endeavor.


    Her genuine affection seemed to others like a tool for meeting basic needs.


    Indeed, she was aughingstock, a tremendousughingstock.


    Just as Martina was still contemting trying to reason with Benjamin, he spoke again, “I gave you


    time to calm down, to think carefully about when you’lle back. Whatever you want, I can fulfill it for


    you. But it’s not for you to nurture your temper, or even say things like never seeing each other again in


    front of me.”


    Martina opened her mouth, unsure of what to say. She suddenly felt like she was


    talking to a brick wall.


    “Martina, listen closely,” Benjamin uttered with escting anger, “from the moment you


    entered my life, there is no escaping my grip, not even in death.”


    Now, he could easily kill Martina, as simple as crushing an ant.


    His expression and aura were telling Martina that it would be in her best interest not to seek a death


    wish or provoke him.


    Perhaps due to his excessive anger, Benjamin’s words were somewhat extreme, but the more he


    spoke, the more disgusted Martina felt in her heart.


    Why did she have to seek Benjamin’s approval for everything she wanted to do? Why did she even


    need his permission to break up?


    Why was it that even though she was also a victim in this rtionship, he could timely. cut his losses,


    but she couldn’t?


    Martina let out a cold and bitterugh, suddenly realizing that the man she had been


    with for so many years had be a stranger in an instant.


    She questioned, “Benjamin, do you think you can still control me?


    “I’ve already told you before that I want to break up with you, and it’s not just impulsive.


    I’ve genuinely thought about it for a long time.


    “I don’t want anypensation from you, nor do I want any verbal promises. I just


    want to separate.


    “If you haven’t heard me clearly, I can say it again. I-”


    Before Martina could finish her sentence, Benjamin lost his patience and forcefully


    pressed her down.


    His icy lips covered hers, biting down like an enraged beast.


    Her recently healed lips swelled once again, and she could even taste a mixture of


    metallic and sweet vors.


    Martina tried to push Benjamin away in pain, but she realized that his strength was


    truly overwhelming. Due to the vast difference in physical power between them, Martina


    failed.


    She suddenly gave up all resistance and stood there,pletely powerless. No matter


    what Benjamin did to her, she remained indifferent.


    However, warm teardrops, without warning, fell onto Benjamin’s hand.


    He stiffened all over, only then realizing what he had done. Thest thing he wanted to


    see was her tears.


    Benjamin slowly released Martina, suppressing the urge to harm, and his voice hoarse,


    he said, “I’ll give you two days at most to move back. If you move back, I can pretend that


    nothing happened before. I can give you whatever you want, and if you have any grievances


    you can tell me.”


    Martina stubbornly wiped away her tears and said the same words, “I don’t want to go


    back. That ce is not my home.”


    Benjamin’s fingertips curled slightly, wanting to wipe away the tears from the corner of


    Martina’s eyes, but he restrained himself in the end.


    He firmly issued the finalmand, “Martina, I’m not discussing this with you.”


    The implication was that regardless of whether Martina agreed or not, the ultimate


    result would be the same.


    As long as this decision was made, it would ultimately seed, and no one could defy


    his intentions.


    This was what Martina was most worried about, which was why she never deliberately avoided it from


    the beginning.


    Because she knew that only by truly separating from Benjamin could shepletely


    free herself.


    vain.


    However, now Martina realized that all her previous efforts seemed to have been in


    Just like Benjamin’s words now, she had to go back, otherwise Benjamin had countless


    ways to force her to go back.


    But why was this happening?


    Benjamin deliberately turned away, no longer looking at Martina’s heart-wrenching face


    and said, “I’ll give you two days to think. Decide whether you want someone toe and


    pick you up or if you’lle back on your own. Whatever you want, I can provide it for you.


    “If you’re dissatisfied with anyone, you can tell me, and I’ll fulfill your wishes.


    “I can grant you a moment of the freedom you desire before your return, but that’s all.”

    Martina understood it clearly. Whether in the present or in the past, her rtionship


    with Benjamin was inherently unequal.


    She was like a tool yed with by others, summoned back whenever needed.


    No matter where she was, she had to return. Her opinions were irrelevant.


    Even Benjamin viewed her this way, treating her as apanion tool.


    He would appease her when he was happy and discard her when he was not, without


    treating her as a normal person, without even the most basic sense of equality.


    At this point, what else could she say? No matter how much she spoke, it was like


    talking to a brick wall.


    Martina even felt somewhat fortunate that Benjamin ultimately gave her two days’ time
