Chapter 163
The car slowed as it approached its destination.Traffic had thinned slightly in this part of the city, and the buildings around them carried a different presence. They were taller, more refined, and clearly designed with intention rather than convenience. The driver eased the car to a smooth stop. “We’ve arrived, Sir,” he said. Benjamin glanced out the window. His eyes settled on the building ahead. Sullivan Corp. The name was inscribed boldly at the front, set against a polished stone panel that reflected the late afternoon light. The lettering was clean and bold, not overly flashy, yet impossible to miss. Benjamin stepped out of the car. The first thing he noticed was the structure itself. The building stood wide and confident, its design a blend of modern glass and solid architectural elements. Tall glass panels stretched from the ground floor to the upper levels, giving a clear view of the interior while reflecting the sky and surrounding structures. The edges of the bui

Martha had already made arrangements. By the time Benjamin stepped out into the hotel’s parking area, the car was there waiting for him. It was parked a short distance from the entrance, positioned neatly among the other vehicles. Nothing about it stood out. No flashy finish. No exaggerated design. It looked like an ordinary, well-maintained car, the kind that could pass unnoticed in any part of the city. That was exactly what he had requested. Benjamin’s gaze shifted toward the driver. The man stood beside the car, posture straight, hands lightly clasped in front of him. He looked to be in his late forties, maybe early fifties. His features were calm, composed. There was a quiet professionalism in the way he carried himself. An Asian man. He noticed Benjamin approaching almost immediately and gave a small nod in greeting. “Mr. Benjamin,” he said politely. Benjamin returned the nod. There was no unnecessary exchange. The driver stepped forward, opened the rear door, and wai

Benjamin stood quietly in his suite, letting the silence settle around him. The room was calm and neatly arranged, every item placed with care, but none of that held his attention. His focus stayed on his phone, on the numbers displayed on the screen. He stared at them longer than he needed to, as if looking away too soon might somehow change what he was seeing. Eighty-six million dollars. That was what remained in his account.A soft breath slipped past his lips as he took it in again. Even now, it still didn’t feel completely real. Just a few weeks ago, that number had been one hundred million. The exact amount the family butler had transferred to him without hesitation, as if it were nothing. That same day came back to him without warning. The day the butler reached out. The day everything began to change. And also, the day he found out the truth about Rose and Ryan. His fingers tightened slightly around the phone.For a brief moment, the memory tried to drag him back into it. T

The following days passed quietly, but things were not the same.Benjamin found himself talking to Maya more often. At first, it was nothing serious. Just simple greetings and short conversations between classes. But over time, those moments grew longer. Talking to her became easier, more natural.He started learning more about her, and what he found was interesting.Maya wasn’t from an ordinary background, but she wasn’t part of the elite circle either. She was somewhere in between. Her family was more well-off than most middle-class families, but not among the powerful names that dominated Boston’s upper class.Still, there was something refined about her. It became clearer when she talked about her past. She had spent years abroad, studying and living in a different environment. Eventually, she had been called back home. Not because she had to, but because her father wanted her to return.From what she told him, her father had been persistent about it. He didn’t just want her home

“I was meeting up with my parents.” Benjamin’s voice was calm as he said it. They were walking side by side along the quiet street, the evening air cool against their skin. Streetlights stretched in a neat line ahead of them, casting gentle pools of light along the pavement. Elise slowed her steps slightly. She turned her head toward him. “Your parents?” she repeated. There was a hint of surprise in her voice. Benjamin nodded once. “Yes.” For a brief moment, Elise didn’t say anything. She simply watched him, trying to process what he had just said. Then her brows lifted slightly. “Wait… I thought…” she began, but stopped herself midway. She remembered. Everything she knew about him. Or rather, everything she thought she knew. Her expression changed quickly. “Oh,” she said. And then, almost immediately. “I’m sorry.” The words came out faster than she expected. She shook her head lightly, a faint look of regret appearing on her face. “I didn’t know,” she added. “I w

“Can I get your contact?” Benjamin stayed quiet for a moment. The question hung between them. It wasn’t strange, not really, but it still carried a bit of weight. The girl in front of him shifted slightly, as if realizing how direct she had been. “Hope I don’t seem weird?” she added quickly, a hint of nervousness in her voice. Benjamin blinked, then shook his head lightly. “Not at all,” he said. His tone was calm and reassuring. She relaxed almost immediately, letting out a small breath as a smile formed on her face. Benjamin extended his hand. “Your phone.” She handed it over without hesitation. He took it, opened the contacts, and typed in his number. His movements were smooth and natural, with no awkwardness. When he finished, he handed the phone back. She took it carefully, as if it suddenly meant more than it had a moment ago. Then she stretched out her hand toward him. “Well, I’m Maya,” she said with a smile. Benjamin glanced at her hand, then shook it. The handsha
