Wendy looked up and saw Benny.
Benny, who had been in a deep sleep, had woken up to the noise. He immediately jumped out of bed and yanked Alec off of her.
Alec, overwhelmed by his lustful haze, hadn’t expected someone to sneak up from behind. He lost his balance and slammed into the wall.
Benny’s face was pale, but his expression remained fierce. He looked at Wendy, asking, “Are you okay?”
Wendy nodded. “I’m fine.”
Only then did Benny turn his gaze toward Alec. His fists clenched, his face twisted with fury. “You scum!”
Alec, clearly frustrated that his plans had been interrupted, scowled.
“You two were stranded, and I saved you. Without me, your leg would’ve been ruined by now. And now you have the nerve to call me names? Is it so wrong for me to want a little gratitude? She’s not some innocent virgin. She’s a married woman! What’s the difference if she sleeps with one more man?” Alec shamelessly taunted.
Benny’s anger flared. Veins bulged on his forehead as he charged at Alec, throwing a punch.
Alec locked eyes with Benny, glaring. As Benny lunged at him, Alec quickly fought back,
and the two men engaged in a vicious struggle.
Wendy stood up, her heart racing as she watched the fight unfold.
Benny was the notorious local tough guy, skilled in combat, but his leg injury was slowing him down. Alec, on the other hand, was tall and strong; soon enough, Benny found himself at a disadvantage.
Alec’s face twisted into a cruel grin. “If you two had just cooperated, maybe I’d have spared

your lives. But since this is where we’re at, there’s no need to hold back anymore. I’ll kill you now and keep your sister–in–law here as my plaything, my slave for amusement! Haha!
“I never wanted to save you in the first place, but Wendy’s too beautiful for me to resist. Looks like I’m really lucky,” Alec continued as he tightened his grip on Benny’s neck, his voice dripping with malice.
Just then, there was a loud crash. A chair struck Alec hard on the back of the head.
Alec froze, blood streaming from his forehead. He turned to see Wendy standing there, holding the chair, having attacked him from behind.
Alec’s teeth clenched, and he instantly drew a sharp knife from his belt, lunging toward Wendy. “You little wench, you’re asking for it!”
Wendy quickly stepped back, her heart racing. She hadn’t expected Alec to be so physically strong–he hadn’t even staggered from the blow.
As Alec charged with the knife, a figure suddenly stepped in front of Wendy.
It was Benny.
He stood in front of her, blocking the attack.
Wendy’s eyes widened in shock. Everyone knew how much Benny despised her, but in this moment of danger, he was willing to protect her from the knife.
“Benny!” Wendy cried.
Benny swung his arm, wrenching the knife from Alec’s grip, then kicked Alec with all his might. Alec was sent flying several feet, crashing into the wall, blood spurting from his mouth as he fell unconscious.
“Benny, are you okay?” Wendy rushed over to check on him.
Though Alec had missed stabbing Benny, the knife had left a deep cut on his arm, and blood

was now dripping from the wound.
“Your arm’s hurt! Let me bandage it for you.”
Wendy grabbed the medical kit and carefully tended to Benny’s injury.
The two of them had just fought off Alec, and now, as they took a moment to catch their
breath, they realized they were lucky to have survived.
Benny glanced down at the unconscious Alec. “He’s the village chief’s son. Once he wakes up tomorrow, we’ll be in real danger.”
Wendy’s thoughts mirrored his. Alec’s family connections made him a dangerous threat. Although they were safe for now, it was a risk they couldn’t ignore.
