The next morning, y/n opened her eyes and found her body hurting so much. Especially her lower body. She looked around and found Ben sleeping peacefully.

She shook her head and got out of his bed and went straight to the mirror to see the bruises she knew would be there.

Ben left marks around her throat, and literally her whole body. She sighed just thinking about last night.

It was very...intense for her.

.

After getting ready, y/n went towards the mirror again and hoped that the foundation might help her to hide those marks.

Just then she noticed Ben looking at her through the mirror. He looked a bit angry but his eyes were a bit sleepy.

"You could have gone easy on me last night, Ben."

His eyes shot open at that as he scoffed and rubbed his eyes.

" Oh really? Last thing I remember you were enjoying it and let's not forget...you asked for it." He shot back.

"I did not ask for it to be that rough. You left bruises on my body and now....I have to hide them."

" Disadvantages of being my wife." He casually shrugged and this just made her more angry.

She finished applying the foundation on her bruises and hoped they would help her through out the day.

She shot him one last glance and left the room.

Tommy stepped into Stan's office to talk about something. To his surprise, Stan wasn't alone,Vogelbaum, the scientist, stood beside him.

It was clear they had been in the middle of a serious discussion, as both men abruptly stopped speaking when they noticed Tommy's presence.

Tommy hesitated, unsure of how to proceed. He had come to talk about what had happened the previous night.

"Everything will be okay now, Tommy.Vogelbaum here is going to take care of everything." Stan was very calm.

Tommy blinked, confused by the vagueness of the statement.

"Take care of what? What exactly is he going to do?" He asked, trying to sound assertive.

Stan's eyes narrowed slightly as if considering how much to reveal.

"That's not something you need to worry about.Just know that whatever needs to be done, it will be done."

Vogelbaum didn't speak. Tommy had heard stories about the man's work,whispers of dark experiments and secret projects. The thought of him "taking care" of anything was unsettling.

Before Tommy could press further, Stan turned his back on him, a clear signal that the conversation was over.

"You can leave now."

Tommy knew better than to push his luck. He cast one last uneasy glance at Vogelbaum, and then reluctantly left the office, feeling more uncertain than ever about what was really going on behind the scenes.

.

When Y/n reached Stan's office, she paused for a moment, taking another deep breath before pushing the door open.

As she stepped inside, the first thing she noticed was the sound of laughter. Stan Edgar was seated behind his desk, as he chuckled at something Dr. Jonah Vogelbaum had just said. The two men looked up simultaneously as she entered.

Stan's eyes raked over her, taking in her appearance with a slow gaze. A knowing smirk tugged at the corner of his lips as he leaned back in his chair.

"You seem a bit... tense this morning. Busy night, was it?" Stan teased.
