My 33 Humiliations Chapter 10
A year ago, the flaws in Benedict had already begun to surface. He was never a rational man; he could act without restraint only because I was by his side.My departure from the law firm was, to him, akin to cutting off an arm. How could such a man survive on a battlefield? His downfall in business could only be described as self-inflicted.I wondered how he would feel today if he knew that a former subordinate had chosen to come to me. In the world, those who act righteously gain much support; those who stray gain little. Benedict surely understood this better than I did.Under the sun, nothing is new. Benedict’s present was already the past for countless others. According to my former colleagues, within two months of my leaving the firm, it had fallen into paralysis. Not only because he had grown accustomed to being a hands-off leader, but his increasingly paranoid personality caused him to forfeit opportunities he might otherwise have seized.Although I despised

I would have become a puppet Benedict could manipulate at will, a permanent appendage at his side, someone who would never possess a life or rights of her own.“The choice in front of you is simple. Why struggle over something like this?“For the sake of our separate futures and happiness, let’s get this divorce.”People streamed in and out of the court.How many stories of love and hatred had driven them all to stand here?Benedict remained silent for a long time. In the end, regretful tears slipped down his face.With a trembling hand, he signed his name, stripped of every trace of the pride he once carried.I smiled, finally at ease. “I wish myself freedom, and I wish the same for you.”I had signed countless documents on Benedict’s behalf before, all of them routine, all devoid of feeling.Yet this time, I felt only the clean, fresh air flooding my lungs.The moment I held the divorce certificate, a faint numbness spread through my body.I had struggled for so long i

Not knowing her true color had been exposed, Anna still wore a full smile as she approached him.“You’re too impatient. The hangover drink isn’t ready yet.“Do you want a taste?”Benedict pushed aside the spoon she offered with his arm, took her phone, and opened her social media feed.“What is this? Explain yourself!“Have you forgotten everything I told you before? You’ve taken far too many liberties!”Anna, seeing her old posts and glancing at the furious Benedict, broke out in a cold sweat.She grabbed his sleeve and pleaded, “Let me explain!”“Let go of me!”The alcohol made it hard for Benedict to stand steadily.His eyes reddened as he glared at Anna.“No wonder Maya insisted on divorcing me. No wonder she was so resolute. It’s all your fault!”He pointed toward the door and roared, “Get out! Out!”Anna looked at him, and the sadness in her eyes gradually turned to resentment.“What right do you have to blame me?“Weren’t the people in those photos you? Weren’t th

Very well. Let Benedict’s subordinates finally see what kind of man they truly served.…My chat with a former colleague quickly filled with a flurry of exclamation marks, accompanied by several forwarded memes whose origin no one could trace.[Benedict’s that kind of person? How deceitful![Don’t be too upset, Maya. People like that aren’t worth it. [And that Anna—I’ve always sensed something off about her.]Benedict’s once-pristine exterior had been stripped away, revealing nothing but a despicable, ugly face beneath.All that glitters is not gold, and he was the very embodiment of that saying.Now, I had finally shed the heaviest burden from my shoulders.Benedict’s whims, his moods, his joys and sorrows, no longer concerned me.The Benedict who had left me resembled a lost bird with nowhere to perch, floundering aimlessly through the sky.After wandering, he eventually returned alone to the home we had shared.Eight years, though it would be impossible to claim there h

“Even if the love between us had grown thin, I still stayed by your side for eight years.“I might not have known your thoughts perfectly, but I could predict eight or nine out of ten.“Oh, and I forgot to tell you. I resigned long ago. “The process was compliant and smooth. Even you wouldn’t have had the chance to change your mind.“You and I are no longer in a superior-subordinate relationship, and I will no longer obey you blindly.”Then I exhaled deeply.After enduring Benedict’s tyranny for so long, I finally felt a sense of release, my spirit lifting.…Even though Benedict continued to fuss, I ignored him and strode away decisively.Before leaving, I turned to look at him.“I know you’re busy, but I booked your schedule three days in advance. For our final meeting, I advise you not to be late.”After I left, Benedict grew increasingly anxious.His only leverage could no longer threaten me, and he could not imagine any way to make me stay.So he immediately called H

Benedict stared at me and could not hide his surprise.Until now, I had forgiven him thirty-two times.Perhaps in his eyes, that counted as infinite tolerance, a silent permission for him to do as he pleased.Anna was the perfect example. Because of my indulgence and Benedict’s favor, she dared mock me openly, fearless and unrestrained.“Are you being serious right now?”Although he himself flirted recklessly outside, indulging every whim, divorce still seemed a weighty matter for him.He could not forget Anna’s tender affection, yet he craved the safety of home.“If you’re sulking over Anna again, there’s really no need.“I’ve said it before: Anna and I are nothing but a fling, bed partners.“What happens between us will never affect my relationship with you. I still love only you.”Bed partners?I knew the meaning of each word, but strung together, it was utterly absurd.I could not fathom Benedict’s audacity, how he could speak such words with a straight face.He had
