Semua Bab Sweet forbidden love: Bab 151 - Bab 160

"Do we... know each other?"My question caused his expression to shift from stunned disbelief to utter shock.Just then, a fleet of gleaming Mercedes vehicles arrived from nowhere, forming a circle that completely enclosed the area where I stood.I recognized these cars immediately. Were these not the vehicles belonging to Benjamin's family?The cars locked into their formation and came to a halt. The doors opened simultaneously, and bodyguards in black suits and dark sunglasses stepped out. This group of men immediately formed a protective ring around me, shielding me while simultaneously creating a barrier between that man and me.Why were they doing this?Benjamin stepped out o

After finishing my sentence, I turned away to face Benjamin, paying no mind to the man. Benjamin’s face had been beaten to the point of disfigurement, and the corner of his mouth was split, oozing a significant amount of blood. Bruises in shades of purple and red had bloomed across his forehead, and blood streamed down from his cheek. Looking at him now, I felt a genuine ache in my heart. Where had his handsome, romantic face gone?That man was truly excessive. Benjamin had not fought back once, yet the stranger had rained down dangerous, lethal blows as if intent on killing him.I frowned, lifting him up and hurriedly pulling a handkerchief from my pocket to wipe the blood from his face.I did not know if there was a past grudge or enmity between them, but his behavior was entirely unacceptable. I felt he was

I observed Benjamin’s expression before taking a deep breath and exhaling slowly."No matter what, I will not withdraw my conditions, and I will not remove a single one. If you do not agree, I will not consent to the marriage. We can sit down and compromise on other matters, but not this. Marriage is a lifelong commitment, as you know. At the very least, I just want one week where I can truly live in comfort, do what I like, visit the places I want, and enjoy life before I settle down with you. Benjamin, can you understand me?"I lowered my voice, looking at Benjamin with pleading eyes. This was no longer a threat or an ultimatum.

Treas looked at me with his clear, innocent eyes. Only then did I snap out of that nightmare, raising my hand to wipe the tears from my eyes.Every single time, I cry whenever I dream of that person.Setting the sadness aside, I tried to force a cheerful smile for Treas and said, "Treas, Mommy is going out today. You stay home and play with Mie. Be a good boy, okay? I will take you out this weekend."Treas’s eyes instantly lit up. He grinned from ear to ear and nodded vigorously.I ruffled Treas’s hair. His smile was like sunshine, dispelling the sorrow in my heart.Today is Monday. I dragged my weary body to the bathroom to brush my teeth and wash my face, ate breakfast, and went out for a jog.

It was four in the afternoon when I returned home. I hurried to shower and change before playing with Treas for a while. However, the image of that man kept lingering in my mind, making it impossible to focus on anything. I sighed, picked up my phone, and scrolled aimlessly until I stumbled upon an advertisement for a volunteer tour in Virginia. For some reason, I clicked on it. It was a three-day, two-night trip. Unlike typical leisure tours, this one focused on raw, majestic landscapes with rugged mountain paths and waterfalls. Travelers were encouraged to bring small gifts to families in need living in those remote areas.The article and photos of Virginia deeply intrigued me, especially the pristine natural scenery. It was not about white sands and blue seas, nor was it the flawless beauty seen in movies. Here, I felt I could finally breathe and escape all the anxieties and burdens of life.
