Benjamin laughed out loud, the mockery directed at Alexa crystal clear in his eyes.“Listen very carefully. If there's ever going to be a Mrs. Knox, it would be none other than April Scott. She's my one and only girlfriend, and I would easily pick her everyday over an absolute scum of the earth like you.”Alexa was struggling to hold onto her pitiful act, as she was starting to get pissed off by Benjamin's stubbornness.Why was this guy hell-bent on making things hard for her? Why wouldn't he just give in to her coercion already? He wasn't always this resistant to her charms before. So what's going on now?Worry seeped into Alexa's heart as she began to fear that Benjamin might have truly fallen in love with April. The thought of this made her mask start to crack a bit.“Benjamin, what the heck do you mean by this? You want to be with April? You do see that the stupid bitch is in a fucking coma, right? What if it takes a year before she wakes up, huh? What if it takes two years? Unti

Anthony cleared his throat.“At the risk of getting myself in trouble, I do think that Miss Hearts has a point. Now that you're openly declaring your loyalty to Miss Scott, you need to avoid getting entangled with other women, especially one as venomous as Alexa Dove.”Benjamin sighed as he turned his body to Anthony.“But I didn't even accept any one of Alexa's advances. So how can you guys accuse me of being disloyal?”Anthony scratched the back of his head.“Well, Young Master Benjamin, you still allowed her to touch your body, and she even left a hickey on your neck. Miss Hearts was just getting defensive for her best friend who is still in a coma.”Benjamin frowned slightly.“I was just letting Alexa see that no matter how hard she flirted with me, I would never go against my decision and sleep with someone my heart no longer belonged to. That snake has always believed that I would forever be wrapped around her fingers. I wanted her to see my body refusing to get turned on despi

Among those buried memories of the time he spent in the large-scale street battle zone back when he was thirteen years old, he saw the image of a girl, around his age, tending to him.This girl wasn't foreign to him at all. In fact, throughout the time he was in that horrendous place, Benjamin was accompanied by that little girl a lot. Every time the monster, who trained Benjamin in the extensive techniques of various martial arts, was done experimenting on his body, that mysterious girl was always by his side, helping him. During the months of heavy clashes between those two powerful gang members, thirteen-year-old Benjamin would try to escape with that girl.In the end, he managed to escape with that girl.But after returning home to Grandma Theresa, and then spending the following years slowly regaining his mind, Benjamin could no longer remember the face of this mysterious girl. Every memory of this girl faded, and for those very few ones he could remember, the girl's face was

While Benjamin remained unconscious, he soon began dreaming.In the dream, he found himself floating through an ocean of darkness, drifting along the force of a current he couldn't decipher.Benjamin was aware that he was in a dream. This was not a usual awareness for him, but he found himself accepting this revelation with great ease. He was lucid dreaming.At first, everything seemed peaceful, then he began feeling an eeriness around him. This eerie feeling grew into a sensation that crawled all over his skin.Benjamin couldn't help but feel the urge to swat his palms at his body fiercely in a desperate attempt to get rid of the crawling sensation on his skin. But during that, he started hearing disturbing sounds ringing in his eardrums. Then he began seeing dark figures moving around him, slowly and in flashes. Benjamin didn't understand what was going on, but he felt a sense of crisis, like he needed to get as far away from this darkness as possible.The more Benjamin panicked,

Everyone felt their hearts racing, wondering the same thing: was Benjamin actually right?Seeing Olivia's hesitation, Max took the phone and answered the call, putting the audio on loudspeaker mode.“Dr. White, do you have news for us?”Dr. Felicia sounded a bit surprised to hear Max's voice instead of Olivia's.“Mr. Max, hello. I would like to speak to….”Olivia cut the older woman off.“Dr. White, I'm here. Quick, tell us what happened? Is April okay?”Dr. White giggled.“Miss Scott is more than okay. Congratulations, she has finally regained consciousness.”Everyone sucked in a cold breath. Was Benjamin right? The dream he had about April waking up was actually true. Could there possibly be such a coincidence?Max immediately pulled Olivia towards him as he announced to everyone else.“We've gotta go!”Watching the two rush out of the mansion as well, Grandma Theresa turned to Head Butler Lia.“Quick! Call the Scott family's residence and let them know that their daughter has woke
