I threw myself into the seat in front of me. My body hit hard and my forehead hurt.
“Benjamin, you have always been so stubborn. You were like that before and you still are now.“>
“I already told you I won’t marry you. From the moment you brought those children back, there is no chance for us.“}]
“I won’t hurt the children because they are innocent and I won’t hurt Michelle because you are the one who caused this.”
“I don’t care what you think. Even if Michelle blames everything on me, I don’t want to explain because I don’t love you anymore.“}]
The car stopped on the side of the road. Benjamin’s chest moved up and down quickly with anger. He was about to say something when his phone rang.”
After he answered, Michelle’s worried voice came through.
“Benjamin? What have you done? The Woods Family is searching for you everywhere. Just now, a group of bodyguards came to the mansion and said they want you dead. But please don’t panic!“}]
“I’ve heard about Miss Williams‘ problems. I don’t blame her for what happened, but we can’t afford to offend the Woods Family. Benjamin, please come back. The wedding won’t happen. The children miss you too… “>
“Shut up!”
Before Michelle finished, Benjamin cut her off angrily.”
“It’s not your place to tell me what to do!“}
“Michelle, I’m asking you one last time. Who pushed you down and hurt you? Who drugged the child and made them vomit blood?“} Michelle was quiet for a moment, her voice shaking.
“It was Miss Williams. Why are you asking this now?“>
“Benjamin, did Miss Williams say something? Don’t argue with her for me. I don’t blame her. I understand Miss Williams. If my fiancé suddenly brought home two children, I would be angry too and make the same choice as her … . “0
Before Michelle finished, Benjamin hung up the phone. Not long after that, many news alerts popped up on his screen. The bride of the Woods Family wedding had been kidnapped and disappeared.
Charles offered a reward of 10 million pounds to catch the kidnapper. Not only that, he said the kidnapper would get life in prison. The comment sections were full of angry words.
Benjamin clenched his fists until his knuckles turned white. He did not understand. We were about to get married. He had only taken his bride away, so why was he suddenly the one everyone blamed?}
No one gave him an answer.
Before he knew it, the car entered the campus. This was where Benjamin and I had started our eight–year relationship. He looked at the grass and trees around him with longing. Every part was full of our memories.
I waited for the right moment. When he was not paying attention, I used the diamond on my ring to cut the suit jacket tying my wrists.” “Amelia, do you remember? You were here once, accepting the flowers gave you.“}
“Those were good times. If time could go back, would you still be with me?”
Suddenly, the sound of a door slamming broke his thoughts. He turned his head and saw the back door open. Only the blood–stained suit jacket was left behind.
He smiled sadly, tears filling his eyes.
“To be with him, would you even want to cut your own hands?”
At that moment, all his strength left Benjamin. He fell weakly into a chair. He didn’t want to chase me anymore. He knew that even if he had my body, my heart would never come back.
Finally, Benjamin understood what he had done wrong. But it was too late. He took out his phone and sent a message to his assistant. [Send the two children back to the Renaldi Family. Send Michelle abroad. Don’t let her come back.]
Charles’s car stopped by the side of the road to pick me up. I ran to him and threw myself into his arms.
“I’m fine. Sorry for making you worry.”
Charles was stubborn and turned his head away, refusing to look at me. However, his trembling hands showed how afraid he was. The wedding car slowly drove toward the hotel.
In the rearview mirror, several police cars stopped beside Benjamin. The straight lines of our lives met at this moment. Then, they would move farther apart, going in opposite directions.
Goodbye, Benjamin.
Goodbye, my young love.
(The End)
