Raina Richard’s ears were ringing from the beating; she cupped her cheeks, shaking her head, and said, "I have no money, you gambled all of it away."
Tears were already streaming down Raina’s face, and her eyes were filled with terror when she looked at Benjamin Carter.
"How could that be possible? You must be lying; you definitely have money!"
Benjamin scread loudly, his slaps and punches raining down on Raina like a storm.
Curled up into a ball, Raina’s painful cries elicited no rcy from Benjamin.
Had it not been for Andrew Carter’s coercion, even leaving behind videos and photographs as threats, Raina would never have ended up with Benjamin, nor would she have endured years of beatings.
Now, Raina only felt regret. If she hadn’t gone to that bar back then, might she have been spared this miserable life?
"Are you going to give the money or not?" Benjamin kicked Raina.
Raina felt the taste of blood filling her mouth. With a piteous shake of her head, her voice hoarse, she told Benjamin,
"I have no money..."
"No money? Then how co you were out ssing around today?"
"I wasn’t ssing around; I was taken captive..." Raina explained weakly.
At the ntion of being taken captive, Benjamin’s movents halted; it was as if he suddenly rembered sothing, and he grabbed Raina by the collar and hoisted her up.
He vaguely rembered that during his own confinent, he had chatted with the bodyguards and sothing about the Ross Family had co up.
"Yeah, didn’t you say you were a surrogate for a very rich family before, and had a child for them? Did the Ross Family make you do sothing?"
Raina’s teeth chattered as she dryly relayed what had happened to the looming figure of Benjamin.
"Did those people give you any money?" Benjamin’s eyes lit up as he urgently inquired.
But Raina shook her head, "They let go, said they would contact later..."
"Then go back and find them, demand money from them. You bore them two children, that’s worth at least several hundred thousand!"
Benjamin spoke loudly, already imagining a lavish life after getting the money.
Yet Raina, terrified, said, "Benjamin, if they were able to capture both of us, it ans their background is not sothing we can afford to ss with. Let’s not ask them for money; let’s run instead... If we get caught, we will die..."
"Run? Where would I run to when I haven’t got the money yet!"
Seeing Raina refuse his suggestion, Benjamin’s brow furrowed, and he viciously threw her to the ground, kicking her stomach.
"I bet you just want to run off with all the money yourself, trying to play tricks on , dreaming daylight dreams!"
Raina was so battered by Benjamin she was close to losing consciousness, blood flowing from her nose and mouth.
Helpless, she lay on the floor, her body twitching slightly.
"Don’t play dead with ; by tomorrow you have to bring back the money, or I’ll kill you."
Benjamin spat on Raina’s face then staggered back to the bedroom, falling onto the bed and imdiately fell into a deep sleep.
Raina, having regained so consciousness, couldn’t find the strength to lift herself; she swallowed the blood in her mouth, the coppery sweetness making her feel nauseous.
But she could do nothing, only lie there enduring inhuman tornt.
