ASLEENA'S POV. "Robert... did you plan this on purpose?" Asleena asked Robert with an exasperated look. The sound of music was still blasting from outside the VVIP room. Hearing Asleena's question, which sounded faint, made Robert laugh sarcastically. Robert was so satisfied to see Asleena's condition who could not do anything at all. Exactly two hours ago, Asleena didn't expect Robert to take her to a nightclub. Asleena had just wanted to run away when she realized Robert was going to do something evil to her. Unfortunately, Asleena was caught by two male bodyguards who took her to this VVIP room. She was now seated and tied to a chair. Asleena was forced to gulp down up to two shots of alcohol, leaving her in a weakened condition. She also couldn't even hold her own cell phone because Robert was holding her cell phone. From the moment a phone call came into Asleena's cell phone, Robert just left the call unanswered. Robert laughed at George, Roger and Benny who were trying to locate Asleena. "Asleena. I've worked so hard over the years to build the company so that I could catch up with you. I left you because I was afraid I couldn't make you happy, Asleena. You should have waited a little longer for my arrival..." Robert said in a hoarse voice. In front of Robert, Asleena just looked at the man angrily. It was not only anger that radiated from Asleena's eyes, but also anger. She gritted her teeth repeatedly in annoyance. Because she didn't understand how Robert was thinking, she couldn't say anything. Robert's steps moved quickly towards Asleena, then his hand stroked the side of Asleena's face. Robert pushed aside the strands of hair that had fallen messily near Asleena's temple, he felt guilty for grabbing her hair a moment ago. Robert's eyes were both calm and furious at Asleena. "I love you so much, you know?" asked Robert who placed his face just an inch in front of Asleena's face. "How could you leave me for another man? How could you get married and stop waiting for me?" Asleena stared sarcastically at Robert's fingers that moved to remove her hair. Robert's movements were gentle, but the look in his eyes and his words made her shudder in horror. Asleena didn't feel any love in Robert's eyes. "You're crazy, Robert. You're the one who left me and yet you say it's all my fault!" Asleena confronted Robert right in front of his face, her voice sounding very angry and emphasized. Robert's fingers, which had been stroking Asleena's hair, suddenly grabbed Asleena's hair. The sudden movement made Asleena gasp in surprise. "Are you saying I'm crazy? Who wouldn't do something like me when they're abandoned by someone they care about?" Robert threw a question back. Asleena winced at the pain in her tilted head position. For a few seconds, her eyes closed briefly and then opened again and flashed sharp eyes. "I didn't become like you when you left me, Robert! You... you just don't want to admit that you're crazy!" Asleena emphasized. Robert immediately gritted his teeth and strengthened the force of his hand that grabbed Asleena's hair. Robert felt somewhat offended by Asleena's words. "You don't feel my pain, Asleena. I never stopped loving you, I left you because I had to. I can't make you live in hardship!" BRAK! The sound of the door being forcefully kicked in was loud and resounding. Robert and Asleena's attention immediately turned towards the door. They were both dumbfounded by Benny's arrival with Roger and Robert. Asleena felt a great relief realizing Benny's arrival with Roger and Robert. She had not expected the three of them to find her here. "Bastard! What did you do to Asleena?!" Benny raised his voice, showing his emotions soaring high at the sight of Asleena's condition as well as Robert's face. Robert slowly released his hand that was grabbing Asleena's hair. His body gradually stood up straight, then he turned his body towards Benny. The curve of a sardonic smile spread across Robert's face as his adrenaline suddenly spiked. "Ah, I didn't expect you to find Asleena's whereabouts!" Robert replied just as loudly. He clapped his hands together as he slowly stepped closer to Benny. Robert's four bodyguards in this room were just about to step forward to attack Benny, Roger, and George. But Robert gave instructions not to use his hands. "You made plans to meet with me so that you could carry out your actions against Asleena. You deliberately cooperated with Bella to buy time so that you could instigate Asleena!" Benny said as he walked quickly towards Robert. Asleena was dumbfounded right after hearing Benny's words. Especially when Bella's name, someone she and Benny hadn't seen in months, was mentioned loudly and in an irritated tone by Benny. So, Bella came again? "Benny, you sound like you know everything in the world!" Robert replied, laughing with the expression of someone who was already drunk. Benny clenched his fists even tighter as he stepped closer to Robert. Benny looked very annoyed. As he approached Robert, four of Robert's personal bodyguards suddenly lunged at Benny. That's when Roger and George also moved forward. The fight between them happened in just a moment. Benny, who was at the forefront and about to be confronted, managed to block the fists directed at him. Then Benny twisted his body while twisting the hand of one of Robert's bodyguards. Benny elbowed one of Robert's bodyguards in the jaw before kicking the bodyguard in the collarbone. Benny's rapid-fire attack caused the bodyguard in front of him to stagger back a few meters. Benny used this opportunity to continue to move closer to Robert. The bodyguard who blocked Benny was about to attack again, but Roger was able to immediately block the bodyguard's movement. "Mr. Benny, just face Robert. Let me and George hold off these ugly bodyguards!" Roger said angrily. Benny did not answer Roger's words but he complied with his request. Benny's gaze shifted to Robert sharply and angrily. At that moment Benny felt his anger boil over. Without further ado, Benny suddenly ran over to Robert. Benny immediately grabbed Robert's shirt collar and showed his anger. "What have you done to Asleena?" Benny asked, his tone low but full of emphasis. Robert was shocked at first and could barely hold his balance. But gradually Robert noticed the look in Benny's eyes that seemed to feel threatened. It caused a sensation of satisfaction in his heart. In the end, Robert couldn't help but laugh as he witnessed the alertness in Benny's eyes. "I've already told you, Benny. Can you make sure that you can take good care of Asleena, huh?" Robert quipped with a grinning smile. Meanwhile, behind Benny and Robert, there was a fight going on between Roger, George, and Robert's four bodyguards. Hearing Robert's question made Benny tighten his grip on Robert's shirt collar. Benny gritted his teeth in exasperation. Benny's jaw hardened so that the veins of his anger formed instantly. "I don't know why you do things like this, do you think you're in charge of everything?" Benny replied. "You're just a crazy man obsessed with Asleena, someone who is no longer your lover! Stop your stupid actions or you'll die at my hands, you bastard!" Leaning his head up as his neck felt strangled by Benny's strong grip, Robert arched a sly grin. Robert was even more challenged after Benny threatened him. "Wait... you won't be able to do that, Benny. I also have power like you. Even you, who has more power than I do, can't take care of Asleena. Where's the power you're talking to me about, huh?" Benny's heart heated up as soon as he heard Robert's words. "Benny, stop it!" Asleena's voice came from behind Robert's back. In the midst of his burning emotions, Benny turned his gaze to Asleena. Benny looked at Asleena, whose condition was already messy. There was still luck when Benny realized that Asleena's clothes were not open at all. "Don't indulge your anger! Control yourself!" Asleena said trying to persuade. Because she knew how Benny was when he was emotional and out of control. Benny shook his head. "No, Asleena. The bastard in front of me is not controlling what he does to you. How can I control my anger towards him?" he asked in an emphasized tone. After that Benny turned to Robert. "What you've done has crossed the line, Robert. You must pay for what you did to Asleena!"
