Family. The word itself gives us a sense of comfort. We know that there is someone out there who cares about us, who loves us, and who will do whatever it takes to protect us. Valeria didn't know if she had that kind of love in her past. Someone to rely on, someone to call family, but now she does. She has a happy little family. "Good morning Val," Benjamin's voice rang in her ear. "Over here." Valeria called from the kitchen where she was busy making pancakes. "Good morning to you too," she greeted with a smile as Ben walked over and kissed her on the cheek as he put the groceries down. Don't get me wrong, they were actually just close friends, best friends, but lately Ben's attitude towards her had become super caring, more than ever, and Jenna was starting to like him, not because he was her only male friend, but because Ben was always there when she needed someone by her side, and every woman looks for a man like that. "Val?" Benjamin said as he snapped his fingers in fron

Valeria moved uncomfortably on the couch where she had slept last night. Her neck resisted her movements, making her moan in pain. She slowly got up from the couch and twisted her neck slightly, but moaned even more in pain. "I'll never sleep on the couch again," she muttered. Last night she read a book on the couch until she fell asleep, and it turned out that it made her sore when she woke up. She getting up from the couch and walking to Ben's room. It was still dark outside, so she turned on the bedroom light and looked at the blue walls, then chuckled when she saw Ben lying half in bed and half out of bed. She shook her head at him and helped him into the sleeping position and covered him with a blanket. She went back to her room, went to the bathroom to brush her teeth and take a shower, then changed into a blue dress. Ben was still asleep and so were the children. So she decided to make them breakfast first and then wake them all up. She went into the kitchen with her

Surprised. Was this emotion visible on Valeria's face? Ben likes her? Oh no, did he say he loved her? Somewhere deep inside she knew that she liked Ben too, but she couldn't commit until her mind was clear, until she knew who she really was. "Ben... I..." Valeria took a deep breath and reached for Ben's warm hand. She knew this would probably hurt Ben, but it was better than hurting him by getting into a relationship where she wouldn't be as committed as she should be. "Ben, I like you too. I really do, but I didn't even know who I was when I first met you, and I want to find out," she said as she looked into Ben's eyes, showing the truth behind every word. "I can't grow until I know where I came from. I hope you understand," she said as he looked down at the ground. She couldn't see the pain in the man's eyes. Not when she began to care for him. Ben cupped both of her cheeks and lifted her face, looking into her warm eyes. "I understand and I'm willing to wait, it won't hurt

"Get in," Ben said in an annoyed tone as he picked Emily up and buckled her into the back seat. Valeria did the same for Ethan. He sat in the passenger seat and fastened his seat belt. "Ben, slow down," Valeria murmured, holding his hand as he drove a little faster than usual. Ben stared at her for a few moments, but Valeria's attention was only on the road. She didn't want to get into an accident or involve the children in one. Ben took his eyes off her and looked at the back seat where Ethan was looking out of the window with an angry frown and Emily with red cheeks and a flowing pink nose. A few tear stains still clung to her cheeks as she continued to sob. Valeria sighed heavily, and Ben continued to slow the car down. It was the children's second day of school and Valeria and Ben had already been called to the school because there was a complaint from the principal that Ethan had hit someone and their daughter was crying for unknown reasons. Soon they reached home. On

Before going to Colorado to meet Ben. Before going to Ben's company, or rather Ben Mckinzie's hotel in Colorado, Sean stood in front of the mirror, pulled his blazer closer to his body and combed his hair with his fingers. He looked at his reflection and barely recognized the figure he saw. His eyes had lost their sparkle and his jaw was sore after months, almost a year, of constantly putting on a fake smile for everyone. But this was his life now, and he was beginning to accept it. With a heavy sigh, Sean moved to close the door to his room. As the door was about to close, his eyes fell on a set of ties lying in the corner of the room. Still, he refused to wear them. Lily, in her own way, left the ties there, as if hoping Sean would change his mind. Lily always said he would wear them one day, but in his heart, Sean knew he would only wear them if Jenna tied them around his neck, and they all knew that was no longer possible. He locked the door and stepped out. Just a few ste
