The Abandoned Wife Chapter 29
Caroline was still not very well at the moment but forced herself to meet with the lawyer. She wanted to free herself from Johan and declare her relationship an official divorce as soon as possible. Ben was still holding her body firmly. Ben looked so anxious beside her."Caroline, let's just go home now." Ben invited Caroline to head home."Is this business done, Ben?" Caroline asked."Yes, Mrs. Margareth. This business is over. You'd better go home and have a good rest at home," said Markus.Before Caroline could reply, her body wavered slightly. Within seconds, Ben grabbed her and lifted her bridal style."Ben put me down. I can still walk," Caroline's voice weakened slightly."No, you've pushed yourself enough today," Ben replied uncompromisingly. He led Caroline out of the courthouse, said goodbye to Markus, and then got her into the car.In the car, Ben carefully leaned Caroline into the seat and buckled her seatbelt. His hand briefly touched her cheek, his eyes searching Caroli

Ben slept through the night with Caroline. The woman in his arms was fast asleep. It was nice to see that beautiful face up close like this. Caroline's breath felt so warm on his face.This was the first time he felt so much love for a woman. The woman he found almost died on the side of the road at that time. Finding her in a weak, helpless, and almost hopeless state. But now, in his arms, Caroline looked peaceful. The wounds of the past still left their mark, but he knew that this woman was much stronger than she looked.Caroline who had made his days more colorful. He tightened his embrace as if to make sure that Caroline was really by his side. This moment felt so precious, like something he didn't want to let go of."I will always be by your side and protect you at all times," Ben whispered in Caroline's ear.The love he felt for Caroline was not just a momentary attraction. It was a deeper feeling, more real and something he never thought would happen in his life. Ben closed his

Just as things are getting heated between Ben and Caroline, Flo arrives with warm milk and enters the room without permission. Flo saw them kissing passionately. Caroline reflexively pushed Ben's chest quickly and Ben swiftly stepped back a little away. Both of them were still a little out of breath when they turned to the door and found Flo there."Miss Caroline, I'm ...." Flo looked down and felt embarrassed.Her eyes widened when she saw Caroline's slightly flushed face and Ben's slightly wet lips. She immediately realized that she had just interrupted something that should not be seen."Oh, I'm sorry, Miss Caroline, Mr. Charles. I didn't know that-" Flo hurriedly turned around, her face as red as Caroline's. "I... I just wanted to deliver some warm milk. I didn't see anything."Caroline covered her face with both hands and felt embarrassed. Meanwhile, Ben just chuckled. He tried to hold back his laughter at the awkward reaction of the two women in this room."Flo, next time knock

The look on Johan's face was so serious after saying his words. However, it made Victoria very surprised and unhappy to hear it. She approached her son, Johan, and tried to persuade him."Johan, are you out of your mind? Do you want to take Caroline away from another man?" Victoria asked with a snort."She is still my wife. Mom, don't forget that.""Your wife?" Victoria mocked her son. "Johan, listen to me carefully. Caroline is gone. She's no longer yours and you shouldn't lower yourself like this for a woman who doesn't even want to see you anymore."Johan clenched his fists tightly. His jaw hardened. He did not like what his mother was saying. Then, he looked up and locked eyes with Victoria."I don't care what she wants. I'll get her back to me, one way or another." Johan said firmly."And you think Benjamin Charles will keep quiet? That man is not a random person, Johan. He will destroy you if you try to take Caroline away from him." Victoria shook her head and continued to insti

Johan sat in one corner of the exclusive lounge. His fingers tapped lightly on the surface of his untouched whiskey glass. This place had been chosen by Victoria to arrange a meeting with a woman named Sophia, whom he had never met. Although Johan knew this was just another way to control him.Suddenly, a woman in a blood-red dress stopped in front of him and smiled sweetly. He didn't need an introduction to know who she was, as Victoria had already told him.Sophia Morena was her name, sitting down without waiting to be invited and crossing her legs elegantly. Johan raised an eyebrow, sipping his whiskey slowly."I heard you were looking for a new wife," Sophia said without preamble.As soon as Sophia spoke, Johan's gaze fell on his mother. He could only shake his head. Sophia followed Johan's gaze. Victoria was still here."And I'm interested in that." Sophia's eyes flirted with Johan."Interested in what?" Johan asked with a chuckle."Maybe we can make this night a little more fun,

Sophia stood in the doorway and her gaze was fixed on Johan. She stepped in uninvited and closed the door behind her. That successfully made Johan give her a sharp look."What are you doing here?" asked a frowning Johan.Sophia even dared to enter Victoria's room like this. Johan wanted to kick her out of here, but Sophia was acting seductively towards him."Am I not allowed here, hmm?" Sophia leaned in slightly, close enough to Johan to smell her perfume."I'm not interested in your games, Sophia. Get away from me right now!" Johan's expression remained cold."Not interested?" Sophia touched Johan's shoulder with a seductive hand gesture."I don't have time to deal with you!" Johan dismissed Sophia's hand quickly."Oh, Johan... You're too serious. I just wanted to have a little chat with you. There's no harm in it, right?" Sophia was not at all offended by Johan's attitude, but instead felt even more curious.She walked over to the sofa and sat down, crossing her legs gracefully. Her

"Good morning Miss Caroline." Flo greeted Caroline who had just woken up."Good morning, Flo." Caroline smiled widely and stretched her muscles after sleeping."Did you sleep well last night?" asked Flo in a warm tone as she pulled back the window blinds, letting the morning sunlight into the room."Yes, I slept quite well."Then, Flo clapped her hands twice. Caroline was surprised to see several maids coming into her room carrying luxurious items. There were shoes, branded bags, diamond jewelry, and dresses that looked very elegant and expensive. Caroline stared at the items with dilated eyes, feeling a little overwhelmed by the luxury that suddenly appeared before her."Mr. Charles asked me to prepare this for you. He wanted to make sure you looked beautiful today." Flo smiled gently at Caroline.Flo told her friends to come closer to Caroline. Caroline looked at the items once more, then let out a long sigh. She could not refuse Ben's offer."This is too much ...." she muttered as

Caroline finally realized that Ben was taking her to a grand building that was very exclusive. On the front lawn, various luxury cars were lined up neatly and formally dressed men and women were seen entering the building elegantly."Ben, where is this?" Caroline looked at Ben with a questioning gaze."It's a big gathering of elite businessmen. I have to attend this event, and they require the invitees to bring a partner." Ben smiled gently and took Caroline's hand after they got out of the car.Caroline looked up at the building with mixed feelings. She was not used to attending big events like this, let alone being surrounded by influential people who were there. However, she didn't want to disappoint Ben who had done something precious for her today."I want you to accompany me. But more than that, I want the world to know that you are an important person in my life." Ben continued to hold Caroline's hand and many people were staring at them.Caroline felt a little bad for being th

The Abandoned Wife Chapter 72
Arriving at Ben's house, Caroline got out of the car with slow steps. Andrew said nothing, just bowed and let her enter alone. Caroline opened the door. The warm air from inside the house immediately greeted her. Ben stood in the middle of the living room, still wearing a white shirt with the top open and the sleeves rolled up to the elbows. His face turned instantly at the sound of the door. Their eyes met. "Caroline ...." Ben's voice sounded soft and went straight to Caroline.Caroline did not answer. She just walked slowly towards Ben, without saying anything and hugged him tightly. Her hands grasped the back of Ben's shirt as if she was trying to reconcile herself.Ben hugged her tighter. He didn't ask any questions. He knew Caroline needed space, but also needed that hug to lean on."I gave him the divorce papers," Caroline said."You're amazing. I'm proud of you.""I don't want to live in Johan's shadow anymore. I've ended everything." Caroline took a deep breath.Ben rubbed C

Arriving at the hidden lake, Andrew parked the car under a large tree. The sound of gurgling water was serene. There was no one around. Just nature and peace."I'll stand guard nearby. Take as much time as you need, Miss." Andrew opened the door for Caroline and let her down.Caroline nodded and walked slowly towards the lake. She sat on a wooden bench overlooking the water. The breeze brushed her face, bringing the calm she needed right now.The fear had not completely gone. Johan's figure was still alive in her mind, like a shadow that refused to go away. Johan's words earlier said that she was unhappy with Ben. However, the situation was just the opposite.'Am I as unhappy as Johan said?' The thought came to Caroline.'Ben loves me. I know that. He gives me space and gives me security. But why does the shadow of the past still entangle me like an invisible chain? Do I still have feelings for Johan deep down?'Tears began to roll down her cheeks. She hated herself for still feeling

Caroline wanted to go out for a while and get some fresh air outside. However, she couldn't go alone because Ben had assigned Andrew to always stand guard beside Caroline."Mr. Charles has given me the job of looking after you, taking you wherever you need to go. Just mention it, Miss." Caroline smiled slightly, although in her heart there was a slight sense of uneasiness at being watched. But she knew this was not about mistrust. It was about protection. And Ben, as always, knew how important safety was to her."I'd like to go to the park near the square," Caroline said softly."Yes, Miss. I'll take you two blocks, then we'll walk from there so as not to be too conspicuous. The car is ready."Caroline just nodded slowly, then went back inside for a moment. She picked up a thin gray scarf and a small bag from the table by the door. When she came back out, Andrew was already standing there opening the car door for her.The drive to the park was silent, and cozy in the quiet of the mor

After a long night with Ben, Caroline is still in his arms. She had given him everything, not just her body, but also her heart and her trust. Behind the warmth of their touching skin, there was a meaningful silence."Do you regret it?" Ben whispered in Caroline's ear."No." Caroline shook her head softly."Then I'll make sure you never regret choosing me." Ben kissed her forehead warmly.Caroline smiled, her eyes still closed as she buried her face into Ben's warm chest. Her fingers traced Ben's skin as if memorizing every inch of the man's body that was now a place to lean on. Ben caressed Caroline's bare back with a gentle touch.They were silent for a moment, letting each other's heartbeats do the talking. The room was filled with traces of love that had not completely disappeared from the air. Their sweat had dried up, but the warmth still lingered between the bodies that were no longer separated.Ben looked at Caroline's face resting on his chest. Gently, he brushed away the few

"Don't let her die now. I want her to live," Sophia ordered her subordinates.Jolina was already unconscious. The smell of blood wafted through the room. Her subordinates standing in the corner of the room just looked down. He knew very well that when Sophia wanted something, there was no room for error. Especially when Sophia said she still wanted Jolina's life, it was not mercy. Rather, it was a long unfinished threat."Take her to a safe place. Make sure she gets treatment, but keep an eye on her. I don't want anyone to find out about this matter too soon." Sophia gave orders to her subordinates.***The dim light from the lamp hung from the ceiling of the underground hospital room. There was no sound other than the slow beating of the heartbeat monitor.Jolina's body lay weakly on the iron bed, a white blanket covering her wounded body. Her face was pale with bandages wrapped around her head and abdomen. IVs pierced the backs of her hands and oxygen was attached to her nose. She w

Jolina was chained to a metal chair in the center of the room. Her hands and feet were immobilized. Her clothes were stained with blood and a masked man approached, circling her slowly. Suddenly the door opened slowly. Sophia stepped in, her dress so elegant and her gaze so coldly fixed on Jolina. She stopped right in front of Jolina who was still limp. Her eyes narrowed sharply as she looked at the face that had always smiled confidently it looked fragile, helpless."Get up bitch!"A hard slap landed on Jolina's cheek. That brought Jolina to her senses, opening her eyes slowly. Then she was shocked to be in a place like this and surrounded by Sophia's subordinates."Let go of me!" said Jolina.Jolina began to come to her senses. Fear spread quickly as she felt the cold iron on her wrists and how she couldn't move her body at all. "You met Glenn earlier, right? You must have spilled the beans!" Sophia scooped Jolina's face roughly."I didn't say anything," she whispered weakly."Don

Glenn stepped out of the living room with a flat face, but his eyes conveyed restrained annoyance. His steps were quick and he headed for the backyard. The cool night air greeted him, but not enough to ease the emotions that were beginning to warm up in his chest.In his hand was a full bottle of champagne - a bottle he took without saying a word. Andrew was lounging on a wooden chair, legs crossed, enjoying the evening as if nothing in the world mattered. When he heard Glenn's footsteps approaching, he turned his head and grinned."You don't seem to be in a good mood." Andrew raised an eyebrow."Mr. Charles and Miss Caroline were making fun of me," Glenn muttered as he sipped his drink slowly."You know he didn't mean any harm. It was his way of showing familiarity." Andrew laughed softly as he tapped Glenn on the shoulder. "Come on, Glenn. They're just joking."Glenn just glanced at him sharply, placing the champagne bottle on the small table. Then they got to talking."I just don't

Ben's reaction was very different from the others. There was no shock on his face, no sudden burst of anger. He just stared at Jolina with eyes that remained calm, as if the name had long been in his mind."You're not surprised?" Caroline turned to Ben."No, I'm not. I expected it from the beginning. This must be Sophia's game." Ben took a slow breath before letting it out, his eyes remaining focused on Jolina."You have five minutes, Jolina. Tell Mr. Charles and Miss Caroline everything." Glenn continued to press Jolina."Sophia told me to make sure your relationship with Caroline was fractured. She thinks if Caroline feels insecure with you, she will stay away from you." Jolina bit her lip, her eyes glancing at Caroline for a moment before returning her gaze to Ben."Sophia wants me to leave Ben?" Caroline clenched her hands at her sides."I'm just following her orders." Jolina looked down for a moment.Ben sighed, then glanced at Caroline who still looked angry. His hand reached ou

In the warm living room, Caroline sat comfortably on the sofa and leaned against Ben who sat beside her. The hot tea on the table had cooled slightly, forgotten as they were too engrossed in enjoying each other's company.Ben shifted his body a little closer, his hand coming up to tuck a strand of Caroline's hair behind her ear. The gesture was gentle, and caring, making Caroline look up at him with slightly sparkling eyes. They had both returned from Ben's apartment."You look beautiful tonight," Ben whispered into Caroline's ear."You say that as if I wasn't beautiful the other nights." Caroline blushed, a small smile etched on her face.Ben chuckled, then gently touched her chin, lifting Caroline's face to be level with his. Caroline looked intensely into Ben's eyes."You're always beautiful, but tonight... I feel like you look happier."Caroline was silent for a moment, feeling the warmth that Ben always gave her. She knew that this man always cared about her, not just physically,
