Irene —-I still couldn't believe my eyes, Aurora had seen me and she looked even more surprised, the crowd continue to cheer my name while I tried my very best to hold on to the mic given to me by the host, Benjamin walked towards Aurora with a wide smile before planting a kiss on her cheeks and then hugging her tightly, could it be that he planned this? Was he aware of our relationship? Those were the questions that ran through my mind as I stared at both of them. Aurora waved at me with a devilish smirk, how much I hated that smirk of her's. She was back to taunt my life.Despite the tension and discomfort of seeing Aurora in the audience, I managed to compose myself and focus on giving my speech. I expressed my gratitude to the foreign guests for accepting my contract and acknowledged their support in making the event a success. However, all the while, I could feel Aurora's piercing gaze on me, her eyes filled with mockery and amusement.As I continued, I tried to ignore her pres
Benjamin —"What do you mean Benjamin?" Aurora asked and just in that exact moment the reporters rushed in."Daddy, what's going on?" Sofia asks, also rushing to my arms as I hug her tightly."You heard me right Aurora, you remember seeing her in my house multiple times. Well, I think it's time I explained to you what she means to me. This little bundle of joy is my daughter and the only heir to Ferrari's entire wealth." I announced making every reporter and paparazzi take quick pictures of both of us, while Irene held her mouth tightly in surprise. Yes, I just made Sofia my heir and I don't regret anything I said."Benjamin, you never told me the child was yours." Aurora asked, a bit calm."You never asked." I replied, giving Sofia a kiss on the cheek before laying her head gently on my shoulder. I slowly walked up to Irene who was at the verge of tearing up.I couldn't believe what I had just done. I had just told the entire world that Irene was the mother of my child, when in reali
Benjamin—After my little question session with Miguel, I became more suspicious of everything.I can't believe none of this things came to my mind all this months, I knew that Sofia and I had the same striking blue eye which Miguel had found abnormal at first but now everything began to even make more sense to me.After taking Irene and Sofia back home I wasn't planning on going back home from there so I took a seat in the living room while Irene took Sofia to her room to sleep."You are still here?" She asked, clearly amused to see me in her sitting room waiting for her."We need to talk." I said to her tapping the empty space beside me with a wide smile on my face just to seem harmless to her.She stands still for a few minutes staring at me before taking a seat."You have a lot of explaining to do." I said to her softly.Irene sat beside me, her eyes fixed on the floor as if trying to gather the courage to reveal something she had kept hidden for so long. A mixture of anxiety and
Irene —I woke up to find the soft light of dawn filtering through the curtains, casting a gentle glow on the room. As my eyes adjusted to the morning light, I saw Benjamin lying beside me, his peaceful expression radiating contentment. The memories of our passionate night together flooded back, and a smile tugged at the corners of my lips.It had been so long since I had felt this complete, this loved. With Benjamin by my side, everything felt right. Our connection went beyond the physical; it was a union of souls, a love that had stood the test of time.I gently traced a finger along his jawline, savoring the feel of his stubble against my skin. The touch sent a shiver down my spine, reigniting the flame of desire deep within me. The whispered promises we had shared in the depths of the night echoed in my mind, reminding me of the future we were building together.I shifted closer to him, my body molding to his. The steady rise and fall of his chest synchronized with my heartbeat, a
AURORA —"That can't be possible, Irene don't know who impregnated her." Dad said standing up from his chair with firm look on his face."Well, whether he is the biological father or not he made her little bastard the heir." I said in frustration but my dad raised his hand up like he was about to warn me."Don't call Irene's child a bastard." He warned making me open my mouth in surprise as I scoffed loudly."Are you already supporting Irene just because he made the child you disowned before it was born his heir." I said the fact to my dad, so he could be aware of what he is about to do.I could feel the rage boiling inside me as my dad's words hung in the air. How could he even consider supporting Irene after all she had put us through? It felt like a betrayal, like he was choosing her over me once again."What about me, Dad? What about everything I've done and endured for this family? Am I just supposed to be tossed aside while Irene gets all of your support and love?" I shouted, my
Benjamin—"Daddy, do you really have to go?" Sofia cooed while I put on my shirt, I have an urgent meeting to attend to."I have to angel, buy I promise I would be back before you know it I just have a serious and urgent meeting to attend to." I said to Sofia before squatting to her size to give her a kiss on the cheek.Irene holds my coat up for me with a sad smile on her face, I know she would also miss me too."Irene why are you so quiet?" I asked walking up to her and collecting the coat from her."Why do I have to be on leave from work won't it be somehow?" She asked.I sighed, understanding her concerns. "I know it's not ideal, Irene, but we've talked about this. With everything that's been going on in our family, it's important for us to take a step back and focus on healing and rebuilding our relationships."Irene nodded, but I could see the disappointment in her eyes. "I understand, Benjamin. I just worry about my job and what it means for my career.""I understand your conce
Irene —After making sure Sofia had her bath and was content with the breakfast I made for her, I decided to go online in the company group chat and it was filled up with topic about me being his legitimate wife and stuff about how I became his secretary from nobody because I was once his mistress.With the kind of rumors going around I don't think I can show myself online, they would just be pretending and if possible delete their comments.The only pleased message I found was a message from Suzy who was teasing me for finally telling the truth.Suzy: I can't believe you finally told him that Sofia was his daughter!I chuckled to myself before typing back at her.Me: what do you mean by finally?I replied waiting for her response since she was online.But she didn't bother replying but instead called me immediately."Babe!!! I can't believe you had this under your sleeve all this time and hid it from me." Suzy said to me playfully on the phone."And how sure are you about all this, h
Irene —When we arrived home, I set Sofia down and sat her at the kitchen table with some coloring books and crayons. She busied herself with her artwork, while I retrieved my phone and dialed Benjamin's number once again.To my surprise, this time he picked up after a few rings."Irene, what is it?" he asked, his voice tinged with annoyance.I took a deep breath, trying to hold back my own frustration. "Benjamin, we need to talk. It's about Sofia and her involvement in the magazine photoshoot."There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line. I could almost hear the gears turning in his mind as he processed my words."What's the problem, Irene?" he finally replied, his tone defensive."The problem, Benjamin, is that Sofia is just a little girl. She's still learning about the world, and she needs time to grow, to experience life without the pressures of fame and exposure," I explained, my voice filled with earnestness.Silence settled between us once again, and I braced mys
