Dominique celebrated the fact that Antonella had agreed to work with Benjamin, but she still had little reason to smile. Still feverish and in pain, she had no choice but to work with the man she hated just to ensure a decent future for Adam.

“It’s a shame that Benjamin is going to marry that shrew of a sister of yours,” she said, sipping a glass of wine sitting in front of the fireplace, but the alcohol was starting to take its toll. “Today is their engagement party, and I wasn’t even invited.”

“Engagement party?” Antonella stood up, annoyed. “It’s only been two days since my mother died, and they’re throwing a party?”

“Don’t get carried away, Antonella,” Dominique sneered at her pain, although that wasn’t his actual intention; “this engagement was scheduled before your mother died.”

“They should have called it off then,” she hurried ac

    BeforeAntonella’s face became completely expressionless when she heard Carlota’s words. But she knew it wasn’t entirely true; still, she was surprised to hear her say those things behind her back.She left before she could hear another major piece of nonsense or before Benjamim saw her overhearing their conversation. It was clear that he agreed with his mother and considered her a gold digger. She preferred not to hear the rest of the conversation to avoid further frustration.However, the tears were inevitable. Before she realized it, they were already streaming down her cheeks. It was impossible to hide it from Dominique. She came walking towards her, and Antonella's first impulse was to turn her back and leave.Too late.“Why are you crying?” she asked, looking deeply into Antonella’s eyes. “Did Benjamim say something that hurt you?”Antonella wiped her eyes with her fingers immediately. She swallowed all the pain because, right there, looking at Dominique, she concluded it was a

  • The billionaire's secret son   Chapter 112

    Fred advanced toward Carlota to remove her, but Benjamim raised his hand, signaling him to stop. It was too late. Carlota had dropped the bomb in his lap, and there was no way to avoid the explosion.Benjamim scratched his pale cheek, still feeling drowsy. He thought about what he would say to her and restrained himself from voicing his true feelings about the situation. It was as if Dante knew about everything and used it to make Benjamim dependent on him and the damned government to stay afloat.“Who told you I refused his help?”Carlota pursed her lips as if considering his question foolishly.“It was the governor himself who told me.”The first thing that came to Benjamim’s mind was Dante mocking him. After all, he had challenged him, and Dante, like any adroit politician, retaliated by putting him in a tough spot.“Of course he would,” he said, remembering Dante being so close to Antonella. That memory boiled his blood. “I refuse his help. We won’t go bankrupt just because the go

    Benjamim thought that there was a fifty percent chance of him arguing with Antonella that day.He went back to the bedroom, with Fred heeling him. He showed agitation, as if he wanted to say something. After what Benjamim had done, standing up to the governor, anyone would want to ask him why he had been so bold.Benjamim went straight to bed, feeling weak, as if he could faint at any moment. He didn’t see when Antonella entered the room, furious and walking toward him, ready to demand an explanation.The fifty percent chance had ended right there.“Where is Dante?” Benjamim heard her voice, but he couldn’t look her in the eyes. “What did you say to him?”“You’re quite interested in the governor,” he said, suddenly leaving her in a bad mood. “I have no idea where he went.”“You should stop with these insinuations,” Antonella continued, gesturing. “And stop meddling in my life. Whether I’m seeing Dante or not, that’s my business.”Those words paralyzed him. He had intended to lie down

    Benjamim rose slowly to avoid waking Adam, who seemed to be sleeping so peacefully that he felt bad about disturbing the boy. He should have been in his room, waiting for the doctor’s morning visit, but instead, he was there, ready to go after Antonella once again.He was still pondering where he should start looking for her when he encountered the doctor walking down the hallway.“What are you doing here, Benjamim?” the doctor asked, astonished. “You should be resting. You’ve just had a delicate surgery.”“I’m aware,” he said, as if dismissing the doctor’s words while continuing to search for Antonella with his eyes. “I needed to see Adam and know how he was.”“Now you’re the one who needs care,” the doctor said, approaching him. “Come, I’ll take you back to your room.”“I can manage on my own,” he said, staring at him seriously.The doctor nodded, seeming both impressed and reluctant to offer more help. He stepped back, not contesting, and simply watched Benjamim walk past him, head

    Enrico checked his watch, realizing it was getting late. Aside from keeping Benjamim company and irritating him, though he claimed it didn’t, this wasn’t helping him worry less about Adam.Enrico knew he should remain calm and positive, but waiting for news was too much. The same went for Benjamim.He slowly got up when Enrico rushed to help him.“Take it easy,” Enrico said, noticing him getting restless. “Where do you want to go?”“To see Adam.” His voice was breathless. “I can’t stand waiting here for news any longer.”“Shall I remind you that you’ve just had surgery and are still under the effects of anesthesia?”“Don’t be such a grumpy old man, Enrico,” he said, clicking his tongue. “I know you want to go see him too. You’re just afraid of Antonella.”Enrico muttered to himself as he stepped away, irritated by Benjamim’s conclusion.“Stop talking nonsense.” His voice was like a rough and annoying tear. “I avoid fighting with her for Adam’s sake.”It was clear that everyone would u

    The late afternoon sun sneaked through the cracks of the open windows, making way for the icy wind of the approaching night. The sky signaled that a storm was coming. Benjamim realized this as he turned his head to look outside. He couldn’t stand seeing Antonella beside the governor.“Are you okay?” Dante’s voice broke his reverie, and it was the last voice he wanted to hear.It took him a while to turn and look at him. It required a massive effort not to show how much the governor’s presence irritated him. He cleared his throat, thought about what to say, swallowed all the offensive words that came to his mind, and said:“Would you mind leaving me alone with the mother of my child?” Those words were deliberate and hit the mark. “I appreciate the illustrious visit of the governor, but I need to be alone with Antonella.”Benjamim watched Antonella lower her head, her face turning red. She was embarrassed, but she didn’t say anything, though she understood his intentions perfectly well.
