BENJAMIN'S POV My eyes were about to pop out of their sockets as I watched her in horror. She was lying on the ground. She looked extremely pale. Her lips were not just chapped, they were bleeding. It looked like she was not breathing at all. My heart was stuck in my throat as I fell on the ground beside her and placed my two fingers on her neck. My soul came to ease when I felt her pulse. She was weak but her pulse was very strong."Charlotte, stay with me, baby." I whispered in her ear as I scooped her in my arms and carried her bridal style. I took her straight to my car and we drove off. Joe was driving as he was that one person who could drive faster in case of emergency.She shifted on my lap and whimpered my name. As if it was the only thing on her mind. "Hey! Stay with me. Don't fall asleep." I whispered in her ear, trying to get her attention. She finally opened her eyes and looked at me. Her eyes teared up as she tried to touch my face."You are okay?" She whispered in a qu
BENJAMIN'S POV:-My eyes widened as I watched Charlotte running. She pushed me as she ran. My heart sank in the pit of my stomach at the thought of her leaving me. But soon, I frowned in confusion. Instead of running to the main door, she ran toward my bedroom. As soon as she was inside, she locked herself in. It took me a moment to finally realize what actually happened. She ran and hid just because I called our son.It didn't make any sense why she would run and hide from our son. For years, she was once raising that poor child all alone. And after some crisis, when the child actually wanted to meet his mother, she was hiding in a room like a coward. Charlie came downstairs and as he found me standing alone, his face fell. The bright smile he had on his face was long gone. I took a deep breath to calm myself down. My heart was still pounding when I saw her running. It felt like I was going to have a heart attack as I watched her making a move to get away from me."Where is mama, da
BENJAMIN'S POV:-I was staring in her eyes in disbelief. She was in tears, her hiccups were nonstop and she was breathing heavily. Charlotte had told me the whole story of that night. Whatever happened to her, was horrible. My heart shuddered as I imagined her going through that hardship all alone. She was all alone. She had no one. Her bastard brother took away everything from her. He even took away the money that didn't belong to him. Her mother had her own business. Her brother took over that business as well. He was the greediest man I had ever seen in my life. And as far as I knew, he was only bankrupting both companies. He just wanted to have everything so he could continue to gamble and he also got addicted to the drugs.I wrapped my arms around her and pulled her to my chest. My heart wanted to jump out of my rib cage, as if it could comfort her in such a way. She wrapped her arms around my torso and buried her face on my chest. “I never knew you went through all that. I can'
CHARLOTTE'S POV:-I opened my eyes and my cheeks burned at the sight. Benjamin was lying on the bed and I was on top of him. His arms were wrapped around my body, keeping me on top of his body. I felt the tingling sensation between my legs, his hand was cupping my ass. He was sleeping so soundly, it almost felt like a sin if I moved and he woke up. Licking my lips, I tried to move as slowly as possible. I suddenly gasped as he squeezed my ass and it woke him up.I gasped again as he deliberately squeezed my ass again. “Ben! Stop it!” I tried to scold him but those damn butterflies in my stomach…Benjamin let go of my ass and dragged his fingers upward. I was barely breathing at that moment. “Ben, please! Stop it.” I whispered through hoarse. He pulled his hands off of me.I sat up and was about to move off of him. But he grabbed me by my hips, stopping me on top of his abdomen. I turned my gaze toward his. He was staring at me with a smile on his face. It brought back memories from th
CHARLOTTE'S POV:-Gathering all the strength that I had in me, I walked up to him. “What are you doing here?” He asked, a stunned look on his face.“After all those promises, you had to lie to me. And you expect me to believe you. How can I believe you when you lie to me all the time, Ben? I asked you many times in three days, and you said you were fine.” I kept my voice down because we were in a hall where everyone could hear us. I didn't want to create a drama in front of everyone. Benjamin grabbed my hand and kissed my knuckle. “I didn't want you to feel pressured about the offer I made. I have forced you to do everything I wanted. This time, I wanted you to make a decision freely.” At least, he didn't lie to me again.I was standing by his bed, staring at him while a million thoughts went through my head. He suddenly offered me his hand, as if asking me to come even closer. I didn't know it at first but a smile appeared on my face as I placed my hand into his and walked toward hi
CHARLOTTE'S POV:-I pulled away from Benjamin after a while and tried to get up but as I turned, he pulled me back in his arms, caging me in his arms. Gulping hard, I felt myself melting in his arms yet again. “And where do you think you are going, Tinkerbell?” He asked me, his tone now was laced with tease and seduction that made my breath hitch.“Ben! Let go of me. We are in the hospital.” I tried to yell at him but I couldn't. Yes, we were at the hospital and he was actually holding me in his arms. But that's not why half of my voice was stuck into my throat. He had buried his face in the crock of my neck and I could feel a bulge in his pants, poking me from behind.“Let people see how much I love you. Let them see that you belong to me.” As always, his words were laced with the possession. I closed my eyes and licked my chapped lips. Memories from the past were flashing like true dreams. I didn't want them to stop. I wanted to remember all those memories that we made together.Aft
BENJAMIN'S POV:-My alarm went off and that's when I opened my eyes. I looked down when I felt someone wrapped around my torsos. I couldn't help but smirk mischievously when I found my wife, Charlotte, wrapped around me along with the blanket. I sat up on the bed after admiring her for a few minutes. I couldn't remember my life without her. It felt like she never really left. Or I just didn't remember anything about our past that we spent apart from each other.I gently laid her down on the bed then I crawled out of the bed. I had to get ready for the day. But she was sleeping so soundly, I just didn't want to wake her up. It looked like she was sleeping peacefully after so many years. After a quick bath, I stepped out of the bathroom and changed into my work clothes, an elegant White tuxedo with black shirt and white tie. After brushing my hair and spraying some cologne on my clothes, I walked back toward the bed. Charlotte was still sleeping so peacefully. Leaning in, I placed a s
CHARLOTTE'S POVSummer season just ended, indicating that it was time for graduation. At the beginning, highschool felt so boring. But as days passed, soon it became fun. I yet again made friends. Despite the hard times my family was going through, I was still able to keep my grades highest. I would always be grateful to my sister in law for that. She helped me with my studies all the time.A light knock on my bedroom door pulled me out of the oceans of my thoughts. I turned around and found Rene, my sister in law, standing by the door frame. She held her hands on her mouth while tears were flowing freely from her eyes. "Jesus, Charle! You look so stunning. I bet all eyes will be on you tonight." Rene complimented me and my cheeks turned red.I turned around and looked at my reflection in the full view mirror. I was wearing an ice blue ball gown. It was backless and had a choker on it. Since Rene was a fashion designer, she designed that dress for me when I was just 10. It was not pro
