Unconscious Husband: Meet Her Love In Silence
Chapter 1593

However, her feigned tears had transformed into genuine sorrow as_ she contemplated her predicament, missing her children and Holden deeply.

She had wept until there were no tears remaining.

Now, her appetite had vanished entirely.

Her stomach churned with unease, making it impossible for her to consume anything.

But Bennett forced her to eat.

His persistence and menacing threats reignited her desire to weep.

She yearned for Holden, wanting to distance herself from Bennett’s madness.

Struggling to hold back tears, Ariana reluctantly began cutting the steak.

She managed to swallow a few bites but soon felt nauseous, leading to vomiting.

Eventually, she grew pale and slouched on the couch, appearing fragile.

Bennett watched her, his brows furrowing slightly, deciding not to press her further.

Her evident distress had convinced him that she was genuinely too upset to eat.

Sitting beside her, he attempted to rationalize the situation.

“Being so despondent won’t benefit you.

You’re confined here, and this emotional turmoil will only harm your body.

”

Ariana pressed her lips together and remained silent as Bennett continued, “If you choose to stay here, I’ll ensure your well-being.

Stay by my side, and you’ll have access to anything you desire, whenever you desire it, as long as you comply.

I can provide money, authority, everything.

I don’t usually care about a woman like this, and I’d even allow you to bear my children.

You could begin anew.

Forget about the past.

After all, your boyfriend isn’t coming for you.

With me, you can still lead a comfortable life.

”

His words only annoyed Ariana, causing her discomfort.

She tilted her head slightly and shut her eyes, silently thinking of Holden.

Seeing her like this, Bennett grasped her chin, compelling her to meet his gaze, and demanded, “Are you paying attention? Did you hear what I just said?”

Ariana felt a sudden jolt of pain in her jaw, a harsh reminder of just how messed up Bennett was.

Even though his words made her sick, she forced herself to meet his gaze and said, “I’m listening.

”

Bennett didn’t seem convinced.

His face darkened as he said, “Then tell me what I just said.

Miss a word, and I’ll break your jaw.

”

Ariana repeated his words.

“You said if I choose to stay here, you’ll ensure my well-being.

Stay by your side, and I’ll have access to anything I desire.

You said that Holden’s not coming for me.

With you, I can still lead a comfortable life.

”

As she spoke, a sarcastic chuckle slipped out.

“What’s so funny?” Bennett snapped, his grip getting tighter.

“You think you’re too good for me? Do you know how many women are begging to be with me, doing whatever it takes to sleep with me? Being with me comes with power and money.

What’s your problem with that?”

Ariana rolled her eyes, her smirk not fading.

“I don’t care, not even a little,” she shot back.

“I’m not into your creepy little world.

And if it’s so amazing, why won’t you tell me what you actually do? Men always brag about how cool they are but never say what they really do.

”

As she talked, Ariana kept her focus on Bennett, studying his expression.

“And another thing, I’ve been around long enough, and I still don’t know anything real about you.

All I

know is you’re into some shady underworld business.

What kind of future is that? How much money can you actually make from extortion? Always watching your back, dodging cops, and hiding in the shadows—it doesn’t seem like a long-term plan to me.

”

Bennett smirked, almost entertained by her rant.

“Oh yeah? So what do you think is a long-term plan?”

“I don’t know yet,” Ariana replied, noticing he was interested and rolling with it.

“But if I’m going to be the mob boss’ woman, I need to know what I’m signing up for, right? You haven’t shown me any of your so-called power.

Why should I ditch Holden and stick with you? What makes you better than him?”

Bennett’s expression shifted, frowning.

“You act like I’m just some punk shaking down corner stores.

”

“Isn’t that what you are?” Ariana shot back, her tone feigning naivety as she tested him.

“But seriously, who’s your boss? Does he just let you run around doing whatever you want? Aren’t you worried he might think you’re getting too reckless?”

“Alright.

” Bennett chuckled, his grip loosening as he got more relaxed.
