Benjamin squeezes the towel and puts it on the table. He takes a look at Catriona who was sleeping. He sighed.
Catriona kept moaning his name and she wanted Benjamin to stay with her all night.
Benjamin feels guilty suddenly. He glances at his phone and wishes Kristi will call him. He can’t understand himself, does he still love Kristi? Or maybe he just missed her?
She is his first love. The first woman that he prayed for.
“Benjamin, don’t leave me,” Catriona keeps whispering his name. He patted her forehead.
“I will stay here for tonight,” he said because he thought that he would be alone again in Kristi’s house. The thought of being alone again makes him unhappy.
“I will cook a soup for you, and I’ll prepare your medicine,” Benjamin said and walked to the kitchen.
A creepy smile formed on Catriona’s lips. She can’t stop the smirk on her face when she slowly opens her eyes.
“Benjamin,” she whispered his name.
All of her efforts were successful. She made sure that she would be sick today and asked Benjamin to take care of her.
She was sure that Kristi would know that Benjamin was on her pad.
She secretly gritted her teeth and cursed her name.
“Catriona, you awake,” Benjamin says and touches her forehead again. She weakly smiled at him.
“I’m sorry, did I disturb you?” she said weakly. Her voice makes Benjamin more guilty about her.
“No, you didn’t disturb me. It’s alright and no one cares for you. Your parents were abroad right?” he answered.
Catriona holds his hand and gently puts a kiss on his hand.
“Benjamin, do you even have a feeling for me? You asked me for marriage and now, I feel like you didn’t love me from the very beginning,” she hoarsely told him. Benjamin closed his eyes. He feels sorry for Catriona.
“Catriona, I’m sorry about what happened. And sorry because I am a jerk! For hurting you, I know you love me from the start and you help me to forget her,” he says in a sad voice.
“Have you ever had a feeling for me? Or you don’t move on from Kristi?” Catriona questioned him again.
He was guilty that maybe Catriona was correct.
He didn’t love Catriona, he just wanted to marry her because he was scared to feel the pain caused by Kristi when they were together.
“You don’t love me, don’t you?” Catriona cried helplessly. She was right all along, everything that she did for Benjamin was useless.
“Catriona,” Benjamin called her because she keeps pushing to stand up.
“I want to die now! You just use me for your desire! You just use me to forget her!” she shouted. She touches her head, she feels dizzy.
“Benjamin, you were my best friend when we were young. And we grew up together, you don’t love your best friend?” she yells out of her lungs.
She wanted Benjamin so bad. She wanted to hurt Kristi for the pain that she went through.
“She cheated on you! She married Alessandro when I was with you when you had your heart surgery! She abandoned you, Benjamin. And now, she went back here like she didn’t do anything wrong!”
“Catriona, stop it!” Benjamin stopped Catriona. He feels his heart squeezing and he feels deeply hurt because of what she said.
“I was the one, who was with you always Benjamin. Why? Why didn’t you love me after what I did,” she whispered and her tears kept flowing from her eyes.
“I tried, Catriona. I tried to teach my fucking heart. I try everything to forget her,” he said weakly. He feels pity for Catriona
“If you’re trying to forget her? Why are you married to her now?” she sarcastically questions him?
“I don’t know. And I don’t want to find the answer!” he shouted and wanted to leave.
“Don’t you dare leave me here, Benjamin? Or else! You will find my corpse here.” Catriona threatened him. Benjamin automatically stops.
“Are you threatening me?” he asked her.
“N-no!” She stuttered. She closed her eyes and acted like she was helpless again.
“Don’t leave me, Benjamin. I can’t accept the fact that you are married to her. I love you so much,” she whispered and cried in agony.
Benjamin regrets that he shouted at her and walks near her to hug her.
“I’m sorry, Catriona. I wanted you to move on. I can’t love you back,” he mumbles in her ears. He didn’t see Catriona’s angry face.
“I understand,” she answered and hugged him.
“I wanted to rest now. I feel dizzy, can you sleep with me on the bed?” she asked him. Benjamin sighed and nodded.
He plans that after Catriona is asleep, he will go home before Kristi goes home. But all of his plans were crushed when he woke up and saw Catriona kissing his neck.
He pushed Catriona away from his body. He saw Catriona’s eyes were closed. He thought that maybe she was dreaming.
Catriona smiled creepily after she heard Benjamin was rushing to get out of her apartment.
She smirked.
Minutes passed, and Benjamin was walking silently to their house. He sighed and opened Kristi’s house. He thought that Kristi was not home again.
“You didn’t sleep here, Benjamin,” he was shocked when he heard Kristi’s icy voice. Her eyes were emotionless but he was aware that his wife was angry.
“You went home yesterday?” he asked and went near her. Deep inside his heart, he wanted to kiss her and take her.
“I’m asking you, Benjamin. Where did you sleep?”
Did she question him again?
Kristi is not a possessive woman but now, the Kristi in front of him is possessive when it comes to him. He loved it when Kristi was acting like that.
“You sleep in Catriona’s apartment, don’t you,” she exclaimed and looked at his neck.
“You have a hickey on your neck. How does it feel to have sex with her?” she mocks him
Benjamin was shocked, he couldn’t believe that Catriona put some hickey on his neck.
“Kristi, we didn’t do that thing. Catriona was sick, that’s why I went to her apartment. No one can take care of her because her parents are abroad,” he answered honestly. He was breathing so hard because of nervousness.
But still, her eyes lacked emotion.
“And what about the hickey? don’t tell me you were asleep that time when she give you that fucking hockey,” she sarcastically said. Benjamin’s eyes were wide open.
“How did you know?” he asked her, innocently.
Kristi feels she wanted to strangle Benjamin and Catriona. She was in deep agony.
“Do you want me to believe what you are saying? That you didn’t sleep with her?” she shouted at him. She lost her control.
“I’m telling the truth! Why don’t you believe me?” Benjamin questions her. She closes her eyes and makes Benjamin see the pain in her eyes.
“I hate you, Benjamin. I hate you now,” she bluntly says, making Benjamin’s heart pang.
“Kristi,” Benjamin called her when she was walking to their bedroom.
“I wanted you to get out of my house! I will send the divorce papers,” she yells. Benjamin can’t believe what he heard.
“No! No! I don’t want a divorce! Why are you being like this? I didn’t cheat,” he defensively said and stopped Kristi from packing his clothes.
“Shut up! Get out!”
He pushed her onto their bed and kissed her aggressively. Kristin was fighting and kept restraining.
“Benjamin stop it!” she was mad when Benjamin kissed her. But it didn’t make Benjamin stop.
“No, I don’t want this,” she weakly said when she felt the heat in her system.
“Hypocrite! Stop fighting and enjoy it,” he whispered and after that, he bit Kristi’s ear gently to make her groan.
