CHAPTER 7

⋆୨୧ Mikaili ୨୧⋆

Silence was all that could be heard at the dinning table.

Benson sat on one side of the table, drinking his coffee with a newspaper in one hand as usual.

I was on the other, drinking orange juice and having my croissant with strawberries and whipped cream.

Beautiful Saturday morning.

Non of us spoke and I preferred it like this because it meant I didn't have to hear anything from him.

Today was the day he'd meet my friends including Matthew. I wasn't bothered, I was calm about it and hoped it stayed that way till the end of the day.

Today had to go perfectly. I didn't need Matthew pulling any shit jokes with Benson and I didn't need Benson figuring out whatever is going on between me and Matthew.

Isabella and the girls said they'd be there too. Ariana was bringing Asher with and I was so excited because I'd finally meet him.

According to Veronica, he looked like Sebastian but had Ariana's blue eyes and freckles. I was super excited to meet my friends child. I always thought Jessica would be the first but I was proven wrong by Ariana.

It made me so happy that my friends were making a life of their own and found happiness during it.

They deserved it and I wished nothing but for them to have that little life.

Clearing his throat, he gained my attention by slightly checking me out as he continued to read his paper.

My eyes narrowed by an inch and I brought the juice to my mouth.

"What's your problem?" I asked, legs crossed over one another above the chair as my elbow rested above the table.

"Nothing, you just look like you deep thinking right now. It's questionable to see you thinking like that" his tone was calm and quiet but the way he said it was almost as if I wasn't allowed to think.

"Well, sorry for thinking about meeting my friends again. If you didn't know, one of my friends just had a baby so I'm pretty excited to see him for the first time"

I wasn't being rude nor was I being aggressive, but I didn't like the way he thought about me. Like I wasn't allowed to have any thoughts.

"Oh really? All your friends are having children except you" my eyes snapped towards his. He looked so calm like it was nothing, while as I was gripping the breakfast knife ready to stab him.

"And what is that suppose to me?" I slightly shouted as I waited for his response. He flicked his gaze only for a second on me before rubbing a hand over his forehead "it means, we need an heir"

An heir.

A fucking heir.

"I don't want kids, not now Benson" I didn't want to argue with him, especially because he wasn't worth it all "you said that last year and we were twenty three, next thing you know we're in our fucking thirties"

Glaring up at him, I slammed my hands against the table before walking towards our room.

"Oh c'mon Mikaili, always fucking walking away. You're so damn selfish always thinking about your fucking self. This is my company on the line I need an heir that can run it when I retire" he shouted after me, but I was too focused on getting my clothes on I didn't even want to hear from him.
