The Cage He Called Love Chapter 21
I was terrified that Benjamin would end up with a man's death on his hands. My chest tightened, and I grabbed his hand. "What exactly happened?"He was silent for a while before he told me everything.Once he had found out I was being held on the island, he rushed straight over. He never expected to run into Alistair while he was still out on the water.The moment Alistair saw him, he drove his yacht straight at him. Benjamin barely managed to swerve out of the way, but Alistair kept coming after him. In the end, Benjamin had no other choice. He jumped onto Alistair's yacht and fought him hand to hand."He said that as long as I was dead, no one could take you away."A chill ran through me as I listened.In the struggle, they both fell into the sea. Alistair clung to Benjamin and would not let go. Benjamin fought to push him under, broke free, and climbed back onto his own speedboat.When he looked back, Alistair was nowhere in sight. "His people are still searching the water fo

I struggled against him and raised my hand to strike."Eden, it's me."The familiar voice stopped my hand in midair.I looked up. In the dim light of the dock, I could finally make out his face. It was Benjamin. He was soaked to the bone, his hair still dripping, with several scrapes across his face. His clear, bright eyes were fixed on me without blinking."Benjamin!" I threw my arms around him and clutched the back of his shirt. "I knew it. I knew you'd find me."He held me just as tightly, his arms trembling. "That's right. I found you."He lowered his head and rested his forehead against mine. "Six years ago, I couldn't find you. Six years later, I did."I nodded through my tears and reached up to touch his face.He was real. This was not a dream I had conjured up after being locked away for too long.He let go of me and looked carefully at my face, then at the wound on the back of my hand. "Are you hurt anywhere else?"I shook my head. "I'm fine."I glanced back toward

Scarlett looked me up and down, smiling through gritted teeth. "Eden, you're doing better and better, aren't you? Do you have any idea what kind of life I've been living?"Of course I knew. I never missed a chance to see how my enemies had fallen.After Alistair had pulled his investments, she had lost every endorsement and every role. Her business partners came after her for damages, and the people who used to fawn over her turned around and kicked her while she was down.She sold her house and her luxury goods, and it still was not enough to cover her debts."I went to beg Alistair, and he wouldn't even see me. I waited outside his company building all night, and he had security drag me away." She grew more and more agitated. "I lost my baby too!"I looked at her coldly. "You're not seriously blaming me, are you? Isn't Alistair the one you should hate?"Her eyes bulged with rage. "Of course, I blame you! If it weren't for you, Alistair never would have treated me like this! He

That day, Benjamin had to deal with his business overseas and could not come with me. I went to the bridal boutique alone and stepped into the fitting room.The moment I shut the door, a hand reached out from behind me and clamped down hard over my mouth and nose. I fought with everything I had, but I quickly lost consciousness.When I woke up again, I heard the familiar sound of waves.The bed, the curtains, and the vanity were all exactly as I remembered them. Even the glass on the nightstand was just as I remembered it.I was back on the island."You're awake?" Alistair sat on the edge of the bed and reached out to touch my face.I slapped his hand away. "Alistair, have you lost your mind?"He did not get angry. He only looked at me and smiled. "Eden, I got scared. The more you shine, the more I fall for you. When you look at me, though, it's like you're looking at a stranger. Now you're even going to marry Benjamin."I fought down my disgust and shifted away from him. "So

After returning to Port Ardley, I invested in a new company. It was small, but the team was full of ideas. I looked over their product and spoke with the founder a few times before deciding to put my money in.Benjamin asked whether I wanted his help.I smiled and shook my head. "Let me try this on my own."For the next few months, I was run off my feet. I visited factories, met with clients, and revised proposals. Doors were slammed in my face, and people mocked me openly.Someone tried to persuade me to give it up. "You could be Mrs. Graves, and instead you're out here putting yourself through this? Why bother? The loose change Mr. Graves drops is worth more than a whole year of your hard work."I ignored them.Then our new product launched, and the company landed its first big order.On the night of the celebration dinner, I looked at the payment that had come through, and my eyes reddened. It was the first money I had earned on my own since leaving Alistair.After that, the

I fixed Alistair with a cold look and slowly rose to my feet. "I've had enough fun, and it is time to go home. Just not to your home."Alistair's expression darkened, and a mocking smile curled at the corner of his mouth. "Eden, how many years do you think that little bit of money your grandfather left you will last? Don't you know how much you spend? What happens when it runs out? You're going to count on this loser to support you?"He jerked his chin toward Benjamin.Benjamin's expression changed, and he clenched his fists and started forward.I held him back. This was between Alistair and me, and I did not want him getting involved.I looked Alistair straight in the eye and said coldly, "You're right. The money my grandfather left me isn't enough to blow through forever. Money can make more money, though."The smile faded from Alistair's face. "What's that supposed to mean? What are you planning?""I'm going back to Port Ardley."I looked at him and said firmly, "I'm going t
