The Tragedy of Fate

17

I grabbed Benjamin's clothes and asked him to take me home.

However, Benjamin told me that he was my home.

It turned out that Colton didn't dare to tell me.

No amount of money could save my mother.

My mom was dead.

Benjamin held my hand tightly.

He said, "Vanessa, I have a house that the Xenos family doesn't know. You can hide there, and we can continue our lives just as before."

Benjamin wanted to hide me as his mistress. However, he couldn't meet me much, fearing it evoked Colton's suspicion.

Benjamin gave me a phone.

I acted like I was very dependent on Benjamin. Benjamin and I were close, so he never doubted me.

Benjamin kept explaining that he always wanted to save me, but he couldn't live with me normally after that.

At that time, Benjamin hadn't gotten Colton's evidence.

Thus, Benjamin couldn't lash out at Colton. Thus, the former could only maintain a façade of friendliness before Colton.
