Chapter 119: I Didn’t Try to Kill Him
Sienna turned sharply toward him, her expression changing immediately.
"Sir," she said coldly while trying to pull her hand away, "please let go of my hand."
But Benjamin did not release her.
Instead, his grip tightened.
His face no longer carried the calm smile from earlier. Now, frustration and wounded pride were clearly visible in his expression. freёwebnovel.com
"You rejected me because of another man," he muttered darkly.
"I already told you that’s not—"
Before she could finish speaking, Benjamin’s hand tightened around her wrist. His movement immediately made Sienna’s anger rise.
Without hesitation, she yanked her hand free while stepping back, trying to put space between them.
"Don’t do this," she warned him firmly.
But Benjamin suddenly grabbed her hand again. This time harder.
The fear and anger building inside her finally exploded.
"Let go of me!" Sienna snapped loudly and forcefully pushed him away with all her strength.
The sudden force caught Benjamin completely off guard, making him stumble backward so hard he almost lost his balance.
Shock flashed clearly across his face. As if he could not believe she dared to push him.
For one dangerous second, silence filled the room again. Then his expression darkened completely.
Benjamin marched toward her immediately.
Before she could escape, he grabbed her again and forcefully pulled her into his arms.
Sienna froze in horror.
"Let me go!" she screamed while struggling violently against him.
But Benjamin only tightened his hold around her body.
"You’re overreacting," he muttered harshly near her ear.
"No! Let go of me!" she shouted. Panic surged through her chest. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
She pushed against his chest repeatedly, trying to free herself, but Benjamin was physically stronger than her.
Then, suddenly, he lowered his disgusting face toward hers. His face drew closer until his breath brushed against hers, making her whole body tremble.
Realizing this shameless man wanted to kiss her. Her fear suddenly turned into self-defense mode.
"Benjamin, stop!" She turned her face away, struggling hard to escape his gross lips.
But he still tried to force himself closer.
In the middle of her struggle, Sienna’s trembling eyes suddenly landed on a golden decorative statue sitting on the nearby shelf.
Without thinking further, she reached for it immediately. The moment Benjamin tried to forcefully kiss her again—
Sienna grabbed the heavy golden statue and swung it toward his head with almost all of her full strength, hoping that would be enough to knock him down, hurt him, without killing him.
Bang!
Benjamin’s eyes widened in shock before his grip around her loosened completely.
Then slowly, his body collapsed heavily onto the floor.
The moment Benjamin’s body collapsed onto the floor, everything inside the office suddenly became terrifyingly silent.
Sienna froze completely. The golden statue slipped weakly from her trembling fingers and fell onto the carpet beside her feet with a dull sound.
Her breathing became uneven immediately, even though she tried to calm it down.
For several seconds, she could only stare blankly at Benjamin, lying on the floor, a smirk of pain on his face as one hand pressed tightly against his forehead.
Then, she saw the blood. A thin stream of blood slowly slipped through his fingers and down the side of his face.
Her heart feels as if it has stopped beating. The color drained from her face.
Inside her mind, she was already screaming in horror.
’Oh, my God. Oh my God. He’s bleeding. What had I done? Why did I hit him hard...? What should I do now?’
Her entire body trembled violently as she looked down at her own hand. There were traces of blood on her fingers. Then her gaze slowly returned to Benjamin.
The sight before her looked unreal. This was the first time in her life she had ever hit someone. And now there was blood. Fear crashed into her chest so heavily that she almost lost balance.
"S-Sir..." she whispered weakly.
Benjamin groaned painfully while struggling to breathe properly.
Suddenly, the office door burst open, and Belinda rushed in.
"Sir, are you—" Belinda stopped mid-sentence the moment she saw the scene before her. Her eyes widened in horror.
"Oh, my God!" She screams in shock. Immediately, she rushed toward Benjamin and kneeled beside him. "Sir! Sir, what happened? You’re bleeding!"
Benjamin winced painfully before slowly lifting his head. Then his gaze landed directly on Sienna. And this time, there was no gentleness left in his eyes. Only pure anger and embarrassment at getting hit by a woman.
"Ca-call the ambulance..." he muttered weakly.
Then, while still holding his bleeding forehead, he pointed shakily toward Sienna.
"S-Sienna..." His breathing sounded rough now. "How dare you try to kill me?"
The accusation instantly snapped Sienna out of her shock.
"No!" Sienna cried out, shaking her head repeatedly. "No, that’s not true! You were the one who—" But the rest of the words were trapped in her throat.
Because Belinda had already stood up and turned toward her. The way she stared at her instantly made fear spread deeper through her chest.
Without saying anything further to her, Belinda immediately took out her phone and quickly dialed someone.
"Call the police," she said sharply into the phone. "Bring the security team to the GM’s office immediately."
Sienna felt like the entire world had stopped moving.
’Police? Kill?’ The words echoed loudly inside her mind.
"No..." she whispered weakly while taking a small step backward. "I didn’t—"
But once again, nobody listened to her.
Belinda completely ignored her explanation and quickly made another call.
"This is an emergency," she continued urgently. "We need an ambulance immediately. Mr. Benjamin Foster is injured and bleeding..."
The moment the call ended, she slowly lowered her phone before turning back toward Sienna again. Her gaze remained sharp and accusing.
"You! Don’t go anywhere," she said coldly. "The police will deal with you."
The sentence immediately made Sienna’s knees weaken. For several long seconds, she could only stare at her blankly.
Her breathing became shaky again.
Everything happened too fast.
One moment, she was only trying to protect herself—
And now someone was accusing her of attempted murder.
