Falling For Mr Billionaire || Book 1 ✔

Chapter 8

One minute, you're happy.

Everything is great.

But one little mistake.

Just one second, and your whole life is gone.

If only I knew.

That's all I can say.

If only I knew the consequences.

If only I knew I would never return again.

I would've never left.

R.I.P.

Rest in Peace

To myself.

Sofia's POV

I entered Anna's house, and I could see that she was surprised to see me come home early. We both walked to take a seat. As soon as I sat down, she raised an eyebrow before I could say anything. And knowing her so well, I knew she wanted to know everything that had happened.

"Should I spell it out for you or what, Veronica?" she said.

I already knew she wanted to know everything, but what could I tell her? That I got fired? That I didn't tell Benjamin yet? That Benjamin is the reason I don't have a job? That he lost his temper before I could tell him anything?

A million things I could tell her, but I know she would kill him. I know Benjamin is heartless and wouldn't care about her. I know he could kill her if she fought with him. Anna knows how to fight, but that won't be enough when it comes to Benjamin Carson Black.

"HELLO!! Sofia, are you okay?"

I can't believe I've been thinking for so long.

"I'm okay. I'm meeting him tonight. He was, uhm, busy when I went there," I said.

Even though I didn't tell her the whole story, I wasn't lying to her either.

"Okay, do me a favor and tell him... Wait, before I ask the favor. Are you going to tell him about Elijah?"

The question I hadn't decided on an answer for. I kept changing my mind day and night about whether to tell him the truth about Elijah or not. I tried to call him multiple times when Elijah was a baby, but every time I hung up after he said hello.

"No, I don't think I'm willing to tell him about my son," I said.

Even though I can assure you that Benjamin hates having things kept from him. That's what his mother did to him, and that's how he ended up being part of the Omerta. That's all I know. The one night he was drunk, he opened up to me. But I do know Benjamin more than he thinks I know him because Charlotte told me a lot of things about him.

"Well, if you do, then tell him that I'm Elijah's second mother, and if anyone were to be his guardian, it should be me."

Anna said as she stood up.

Of course, she would always be his other mother. After all, she practically helped raise him with me.

"Yes, of course."

To be honest, I couldn't tell her that if anything were ever to happen to me, Elijah would be taken to Benjamin. A couple of days after Elijah was born, I wrote Benjamin's name down as his guardian, and Anna's only if Benjamin refused. Anna and I weren't so close back then, but now that we are, I am sure I will change Elijah's forms one day. But Benjamin is his father, and somewhere in my heart, I know he would take care of him and love him.
