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.

    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

    Her eyes narrowed as she saw how Ben whispered something in Caroline's ear, making the woman smile embarrassedly. The sight made her chest feel tight. She felt jealous seeing Ben coming with another woman.Benjamin Charles, the man who was once so close to her now stood in the crowd with another woman. Not just an ordinary woman, but someone precious enough that Ben was willing to bring her to an event of this magnitude."It should have been me, Ben. Not her," Sophia said in a soft voice.She noticed how Caroline looked a little awkward, but still stood by Ben's side with confidence. How Ben always made sure that Caroline was comfortable, protecting her with a gentleness that he rarely showed to anyone.Instantly, Sophia felt something sharp pierce her heart. Seeing Ben with Caroline, she realized something much more painful, Benjamin had completely forgotten her."Wait a minute." Sophia squinted her eyes, scrutinizing the woman more closely. Something was bothering her mind.Then, sh

    "Everyone here likes you so much. Look at the way they look at you." Ben turned to Caroline.Ben had never brought a woman to a big event like this. Caroline was the first woman he had invited. And those who looked at him were immediately surprised to have a beautiful woman next to him.Caroline's appearance at this time was indeed very beautiful. With a dress that is elegant and so suitable for her body. He pulled Caroline closer, then lowered his face and gently kissed her lips.Caroline widened her eyes. Her heart beat so fast as if it wanted to jump out of her chest. She froze in place, not knowing how to react to Ben. Getting a kiss from Ben while being in such a crowded place made her feel awkward."I want everyone to know that you are the woman who means the most to me," Ben whispered warmly in Caroline's ear.Ben continued to kiss Caroline's lips again. This time the kiss deepened. Ben's hands never left her hips so that the grip was even tighter. Finally, Caroline was swept a

    After a few hours filled with laughter, warm conversation, and clinking champagne glasses, the event finally came to an end. The guests began to say goodbye one by one, leaving the hall with satisfied faces and light steps. So did Ben and Caroline as they made their way to the exit.Caroline sighed softly, trying to keep a smile on her face even though her body was starting to feel tired. Her feet were aching and she was walking in high heels. She tried to ignore it, but each step felt heavier and Ben was watching her every step."Do your feet hurt?" asked Ben as he glanced at the high heels Caroline was still wearing."Just a little." Caroline smiled faintly and didn't want to complain about this to Ben.Ben stopped walking and bent down to look at Caroline's foot. Everyone here was still staring at them in amazement."Ben, stand up, my leg doesn't hurt that bad," Caroline said while holding Ben's shoulder."Then there's no need to exert yourself." Ben lifted Caroline in a bridal-sty

    Andrew stood at the edge of the hospital bed, looking down at Ben who was still lying weakly with his head bandaged. The cut on his forehead was deep, but more worrying was the injury to his chest from the violent impact of the accident. An IV was attached to his arm, while a monitor beeped at a steady rhythm.In the next room, Caroline was still not fully conscious. The wound on her temple had been cleaned and bandaged, but her face still looked pale. The doctor said that Caroline was in severe shock and exhausted after last night's incident. Seeing Ben and Caroline in this state stirred up a rage that was difficult for him to control.He stepped out of Ben's hospital room and closed the door slowly. Outside, a well-built man in a black suit was waiting for him. The man's name was Glenn, just like Andrew who worked for Ben."How is Mr. Charles doing in there?" Glenn asked."Stable, but unconscious. Did you find out who was behind this attack?" Andrew looked at Glenn with an intense g

Not only was Ben hurt, but Caroline was too.Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Alexander immediately froze when he saw his daughter walk in. He made a hand signal for his subordinate to leave his room. Sophia's gaze was full of suspicion towards her father."My father, what else are you doing?" Sophia asked.Alexander leaned his back against the chair, his face calm again, as if nothing had happened. He glanced at Sophia who stood up."What do you mean, Sophia? I don't know what you mean." Alexander was evasive when asked by his daughter."I'm not a child anymore. I know that expression. You're hiding something." Sophia's eyes narrowed sharply.Alexander just laughed as his daughter suspected him. Sophia frowned, getting more and more curious about what her father was doing. It made her wonder."You're too suspicious, dear. This is just busi

    "What do you mean, why did Andrew get hurt?" Ben tried to sit up while holding his aching chest.Caroline grabbed Ben's shoulders frantically, preventing him from moving further. She shook her head and didn't allow Ben to sit up."Ben, don't! The doctor said you need to rest," Caroline said anxiously."Flo, tell me what happened to Andrew." Ben urged Flo to tell the truth.He ignored the pain in his chest. His eyes stared intently at Flo. However, Flo still hadn't answered his question and was still crying. Caroline was silent as if her mind rejected what she had just heard."There was... an explosion," Flo replied sobbing. "Andrew was affected. I don't know how bad he is yet, but-""Where is he now?" Ben cut Flo off, his voice sharper despite his weakened body."He was rushed to another hospital along with Glenn," Flo said in a shaky voice."Glenn was hurt too?" Ben asked.Flo just nodded. Ben wanted to leave the hospital quickly, but Caroline wouldn't let him. Ben clenched his hands

    Ben?"Caroline leaned closer to Ben. She grasped her lover's hand tightly. Ben's eyelids slowly began to move, then opened slightly. His vision was blurry, but as soon as he saw Caroline's crying figure beside him, he tried to smile even though his lips were dry and pale. Caroline's tears flowed again, but this time it wasn't out of sadness, but joy."Ben, you finally realized." Caroline's grip on his hand tightened."Mr. Charles, you're finally awake." Flo smiled and felt happiness.Ben blinked but was still weak. He could feel Caroline's tight grip, filled with worry and love. With what strength he had left, he tried to move his fingers, returning Caroline's hand."Are you crying because of me?" asked a weakly spoken Ben with a faint smile."I was afraid of losing you." Caroline sobbed then lowered her head and nodded towards Ben.Ben looked at her gently and saw that there was a bandage wrapped around Caroline's head. Although the pain still ruled his body, he wanted to wipe Caroli
