It was another usual day when Ben was working on a project.Jordan had introduced a client to them, and Ben and Edwin were going to meet them.However, the client expressed their eagerness to visit them in the Wilson group and why would they deny it.The project was good, and the client wanted to start their new branch in Australia. They chose Wilson Group and offered this project because who could be better than Wilson Group in this country?The branch was well known in China and it was their first time expanding abroad.Though the business wouldn’t give them much profit, Edwin wanted to try as Jordan introduced them.Ben wasn’t sure why Jordan would bring their client when he could work with them.But Ben didn’t voice out, as she knew how much Edwin cared for Jordan.But he never liked that man and his hatred increased after he saw what he did with Elisa.Ben would have informed all this to Edwin unless Edwin had such deep emotion toward him.He was Edwin’s only friend that Edwin tru
“Ben Jones,” Samara smiled mockingly when she noticed Ben enter.“Samara,” Ben spoke out instinctively.“You two know each other,” Ben heard Elisa’s voice and turned around and saw a noticeable frown on her face.Elisa wasn’t supposed to be present there.But when she heard this brand work on cosmetics and Edwin was finally invested in this, she was excited.But she didn’t expect to meet Ben's old acquaintance.“We have a long history with each other,” Samara said mockingly, and Ben frowned.“Can we start the meeting now?” Ben spoke out when he noticed Edwin entered the meeting room.He didn’t want to dwell on the past and ruin his present.But he didn’t know someone was here to ignite the flames of the past.Edwin had brought Janet with him, too.They sat in the meeting and the meeting went well.Edwin was happy with their products and above all, they were flexible and were ready with every term Edwin offered.But Ben wasn’t happy knowing she was the one who was going to work with th
Ben didn’t expect Elisa to defend him like this.Though he didn’t want to involve her, how she took his side made him feel elated.When they returned home, Elisa didn’t expect to find a bouquet on the coffee table.Ben had changed into his home clothes and was cooking dinner.“Who brought this?” Elisa asked curiously. They were the only two living there unless someone gifted it to Ben.“Me,” Ben replied and Elisa raised her brow.“For whom?” Elisa asked.“For you,” His direct answer made her happy.“Really? Why?” Elisa asked excitedly. There was a cheerful smile on her face.“I should treat my girlfriend well, shouldn’t I?” Ben said teasingly, and Elisa smirked.“Of course you should. Don’t forget who is your girlfriend’s brother. He will break your nose if you don’t treat her well,” Elisa said threateningly and Ben laughed out.“Are you going to warn your boyfriend like this? He would run away on the first date,” Ben said and Elisa laughed.“You didn’t yet,” Elisa winked and walked i
Elisa was shit scared after she came out of Edwin’s office.She impulsively announced her relationship with Ben before Edwin without thinking about the consequences.Now it’s time to face it.She didn’t know how Ben would react hearing it.He was supporting her until now, but now, when Edwin was involved in this mess, she wasn’t sure about this.Elisa walked into Ben’s office with a guilty look.Ben, busy with his work, looked up and noticed Elisa standing there like a withered flower.“What happened?” Ben asked, but Elisa was standing there with a guilty look, waiting for the scolding.“What?” Ben asked again when she didn’t reply.“Edwin… called me in his office,” Elisa replied, hesitating.“Did you get a scolding? I warned you to stay away from Janet, he was too protective of her,” Ben thought it was concerning Janet and didn’t bother too much.“No,” Elisa denied, and Ben frowned.“Then?” Ben asked again this time giving her his full concentration.“Jordan was there,” Elisa said, a
Elisa and Ben entered Edwin’s office, following him.Edwin was pacing angrily, and Elisa looked at Ben, and he held her hand, comforting her.They were slowly entangled in this lie and didn’t know how to get away from it.Edwin turned around and noticed their joined hand, which angered him more.“Get away from my sister,” Edwin yelled and Elisa shook away her hand from Ben.She had rarely seen Edwin this angry.“What were you two doing there? It’s office for God’s sake,” Edwin was enraged seeing them kissing each other openly.Elisa was his baby sister and though he knew it was normal for a couple to show affection he was still not adapted to their relationship.He was having a hard time accepting them.“Jordan was standing there, if you are getting intimate at least check around so that people don’t see you,” Edwin said and Elisa wanted to laugh seeing his distorted form.She never knew he would be this affected.Only if he knew they were doing this to show Jordan.Edwin couldn’t bel
It’s been a month,Elisa didn’t know her relationship with Ben would grow so beautifully.They were so happy together that every day felt beautiful.Edwin who was first having a hard time accepting their relationship had finally calmed down.But when life has given you something easily?The company Samara was representing had doing wonders in the Australian market because of Edwin.Every name that got connected to the Wilson group ought to do wonders, but Samara was showing too much appreciation to Edwin.To show her gratitude, she arranged a small get-together and invited everyone.But the get-together was arranged so lavishly it can be regarded as a small party.Every well-known figure was invited there, and the catch was you had to bring an add-on, your partner in a word.It wasn’t a big deal for Edwin and Elisa.Edwin was already married officially to Janet and though he never introduced her to his business associates formally it came out as a great opportunity.Elisa was dating Be
Though their relationship started not like how normal people began as a couple, in that passing month Elisa was feeling happy.How they were getting along. Elisa thought maybe they could have a future together.But she was wrong.She never imagined she would have to witness these things today.She had never forced Ben to stay with her. Though previously it was the demand of the moment, they could have easily parted ways.But Ben wanted to try it and is this what he wanted all along?To take revenge on her by insulting her?What was her fault?“Elisa,” Elisa heard Ben’s voice from behind and though she wanted to turn around and ask for an explanation, she was frozen.She didn’t want to hear his useless excuses when she had to witness the situation with her own eyes.“Elisa,” Ben’s voice again came and his tone wasn’t strong like normal.Elisa wanted to turn around and see what was happening, but Edwin stopped her.“Not anymore, Do hell with that bastard. I will deal with him tomorrow.
Elisa stayed overnight with Ben; after dawn, Ben slowly regained consciousness.What happened that night he had zero to no memory.When he woke up, he was surprised to find himself in a hospital bed.He woke up and noticed Elisa sleeping beside him, sitting on a chair. She was still wearing the same clothes she had worn to the party.He slowly removed her hair from her face, and her solemn face looked so cute.Did she cry before sleeping? Because he noticed her face had remnants of dried tears.What happened last night? He was wondering when Elisa woke up slowly. She rubbed her eyes and when her eyes fell on Ben, and smile formed on her face.“You finally woke up?” Elisa finally could feel solace seeing him.“Why I am here?” Ben asked, and Elisa exhaled.“Last night you were drugged,” Elisa said, which made Ben frown.Elisa explained what happened and why he was lying on the bed and Ben could only feel enraged.He had tolerated Samara enough.This stunt was out of line, and she had cr
