There, on the floor was Petra, barely breathing, blood almost covered her body.

Benjamin froze when he saw her, his entire body becoming rigid with shock.

For a moment, he could not believe the woman before him was Petra.

Her clothes were soaked, her hair was disordered, and blood covered parts of her face.

She looked painfully helpless, nothing like the strong woman he had spoken with earlier.

His heart pounded violently against his chest as fear replaced the anger inside him.

He rushed toward

    Benjamin walked straight towards them, his eyes fixed on Petra. The moment Hubert noticed him approaching, he released her arm and stepped aside. Petra almost lost her balance again, but Benjamin reached her before she could stumble.He crouched in front of her without caring who was watching. His expression changed as he took in her dishevelled appearance and the way she was holding herself."Are you okay? Were you hurt?" Benjamin asked worriedly, gently cradling her head with one hand while resting the other on her shoulder. His eyes moved over her face and down her arms, checking for any sign of injury. "Look at me, Petra. Did he hurt you anywhere?" he asked, his voice low but filled with concern.Petra looked at him, and the tension she had been holding inside finally began to ease. She had been trying not to show how frightened and humiliated she felt, but seeing him beside her made it difficult to keep pretending that everything was fine."Almost," Petra replied with a pitiful

    "If your husband is Benjamin Shaw, then I am his long-lost brother!" Hubert said, pointing at himself with a mocking grin.His laughter echoed through the side hall, drawing curious glances from a few people passing nearby. He seemed thoroughly entertained by the situation, and the more he looked at Petra, the more convinced he became that she had made a fool of herself.Petra stood still, unable to find the right words.She tightened her grip on her handbag, holding it close to herself as she nervously glanced around the hall. She couldn't understand why everyone was making such a big deal out of Benjamin's name. She had simply answered the question they asked her. Why were they treating her as though she had committed some terrible offence?Her eyes briefly returned to the security men.Their expressions were no longer merely doubtful. There was a strange mixture of disbelief and irritation on their faces, as if she had crossed a line she should never have approached."Miss, I do

    "I don't have an invitation. I'm here with my husband," Petra told the security men, trying to explain herself before the situation got any worse.But before either of them could respond, Hubert interrupted with a loud laugh."What?" one of the security men asked, looking at Petra with confusion."How sweet!" Hubert said sarcastically, shaking his head as he looked at her. "Even your husband has to show an invitation to attend this event, and you expect us to believe he brought you here? Who do you think he is, Mr. Shaw?" he asked jokingly, deliberately emphasising Benjamin's name.Petra turned towards him, her expression hardening.She was growing tired of his childish behaviour. It was bad enough that he had grabbed her earlier, but now he was openly mocking her in front of the security personnel. He seemed determined to make her look foolish, and his confidence was becoming increasingly irritating.The security men exchanged another glance.They had already given Petra an opportun

    "Vanessa's dad?" Petra wondered to herself, her eyebrows drawing together as Hubert's words replayed in her mind.She was still trying to understand the connection when she felt someone suddenly grab her arm."Hey!" she screamed, turning sharply as Hubert's fingers tightened around her wrist.He had caught her just as she was about to walk away. His grip was firm, and the suddenness of it sent a wave of anger through her. She tried to pull free, but he held on as though he had every right to stop her.Hubert looked at her with a mixture of resentment and arrogance. There was something unpleasant in his eyes, something that made Petra wish she had never stopped to speak to him."I was naive in college," Hubert cut in, tightening his grip around Petra's hand. "I thought I needed an obedient wife, someone who would simply listen to me and follow whatever I said. But now I realise that money and power are more important. If I had known Vanessa was rich, I would have pursued her instead.

    "Sorry," Petra said to the person she had bumped into, quickly taking a step backwards. She had been so occupied with finding her way through the unfamiliar building that she had failed to notice someone approaching from the opposite direction. Her eyes were still lowered when she spoke, and she instinctively reached out to steady herself.However, when she finally raised her head, the apology died on her lips.Hubert West stood directly in front of her.For a moment, Petra simply stared at him, unable to hide her surprise. She hadn't expected to see him there, especially after everything that had happened between them. Her fingers tightened around the small handbag she carried, and the pleasant expression she had worn moments earlier disappeared.She frowned, wondering what he was doing in the building."Petra? How did you get in?" Hubert asked, his eyes moving over her face with undisguised disgust.His voice carried the same unpleasant edge she remembered. There was no greeting,

    Benjamin Shaw stepped out of the car and immediately extended his hand to help Petra Hudson out. The moment her feet touched the ground, camera flashes erupted from every direction. Reporters crowded around them, pushing against the security personnel as they desperately tried to capture pictures of the billionaire."Hey, stop that!" one of Benjamin's bodyguards thundered, stretching both arms to prevent the crowd from advancing. "I said stop pushing!"However, the spectators seemed unwilling to listen. People continued struggling to get closer, shouting Benjamin's name while raising their phones to take pictures.The bodyguards quickly formed a protective circle around Benjamin and Petra, creating a clear passage toward the entrance.Petra held Benjamin's arm as they walked forward. She glanced briefly at the reporters before returning her attention to the entrance. She wasn't accustomed to receiving so much attention, and the constant camera flashes were beginning to make her unc
