*BENEDYKTA* *FOUR HOURS EARLIER* I let out a yawn when I realized that it was morning, and I was stark naked in the arms of a complete stranger. I smiled to myself because he was still passed out from last night's events, and I couldn't blame him since we went all night long making love. I placed a kiss on his cheek, and he groaned deeply but kept his eyes closed.

She left as soon as she said this, walking to her room, her personal space. Mrs Doris stood by the kitchen entrance with a worried expression.

Slowly, painfully slow, I lifted my head. She stood a few feet away, flanked by Alice and another beta girl whose name I always forgot. Loveth looked perfect, as always.

Henry stood in the rain in front of our mansion, begging to see me. He pleaded for me not to give up on him and promised he would work hard to give me the lifestyle that I wanted. Like a loyal puppy, he had waited outside patiently for a long time. However, I did not give in. With an indifferent tone, I had told him that I was just playing with him.

The Connel from Vienna was gone. “I loved you,” she whispered. He met her eyes. “You know your problem? That word you keep using- ‘love’, I'm certain you don't know the meaning. You've never felt what it's like to be loved so how do you know how to love?” Tori felt shattered. “They'll escort you out.” Connel said, leaving the guest lounge. His shoulder squared like a man who had certainly cleaned the house. Tori was gone. But peace was a lie.

" I was annoyed, so I blocked every way he could reach me instead of replying. Then, I spent some time scrolling on my phone and skimming through research before we finally arrived. Leo helped me retrieve my suitcase from the overhead rack and walked alongside me as we disembarked. We weren't the chatty type, so there wasn't a lot of conversation. But as we neared the station exit, I stopped in my tracks when I spotted a familiar figure standing there. Christopher wore a black coat, snow dusting his shoulders and hair. His eyes were swollen from emotion, his jaw tight, and his gaze drilled into me. I knew there was no avoiding him now. He stepped forward and blocked my way. I had no choice b

Everything was still a huge challenge at that time. It's a difference in social status. Because they are not of the same status, their love is forbidden from the beginning.

But instead of protesting, my mother received estrangement from her husband's family. Having a reputation as the bride of a prestigious family, but the price that my mother has to pay is too high.

Even though her hormones were raging through her body, screaming for fulfilment, she knew she mustn’t give in. If she did he would win this battle, and indeed, their own particular war. Licking her lips, she stood her groimd, ‘I don’t want to make love now.’ ‘Liar!’ ‘I’m not!’ ‘You want me to rip your clothes from you now. This minute!’ He moved nearer, a fraction away from her.
