I waited for him to answer. It felt like it was the longest ti I waited and the ti stopped because of my anticipation.
He was coldly staring at . And my heart felt a stabbing pain every ti he looked at with disdain. I wanted to rush to his side and embrace him, but I was afraid to get rejected.
"Whatever. Do what you like. I’m so tired of all these dramas." He said.
I kept quiet and was just observing him. He sat on the couch and picked up a magazine to read while I was sitting across from him.
The silence inside our bedroom was deafening. I felt like I was being locked up with a complete stranger. But I had to show him that nothing would change even though he insisted that the other Jayden and the one in front of were different. One was fake and the other was real.
I decided to stay in our bedroom because of what Alora had suggested. I had to stay close to him and he had to see at all tis so he could notice .
I took my iPad and started searching the internet about Benjamin. Half a year passed but we never heard anything about Nina’s whereabouts. After she left, we found out she got married to Jas Santelmo, Paolo Santelmo’s son.
I saw how Andrew’s life turned upside down after learning about the betrayal of his wife and for that my hatred toward Nina grew. How could she do this to her husband? To and my family? To all of us?
I gritted my teeth when I felt a growing rage in my heart. I took a deep breath to calm myself and focused on searching for Benjamin. But half an hour later, I still had zero lead. I sighed and felt so exhausted. I rember that Jayden would always comfort whenever I feel stressed. Caden and him were the source of my strength.
I sighed again and then leaned my back when I felt my neck stiffen. My eyes were closed because I didn’t like to see him from the mirrored ceiling of our bedroom.
"Will you stop sighing?" He said, annoyed.
I opened my eyes and tried to avoid looking at him.
"I’m sorry I’m tired." I said.
I heard movents from him and I was surprised when he suddenly stood behind . I blinked when I saw him looking down at . His eyes were still the sa—no emotions at all.
"If you feel exhausted then take a rest. Stop sighing and whining, it’s annoying. Let see." He said.
I frowned. I didn’t understand what he wanted to see. He clicked his tongue and then bend forward to grab my iPad.
Ah! He slled so nice. I bit my lip and wanted to scold myself when I felt the urge to touch him.
’Stop Peggy! Control yourself!" I thought inwardly.
"Benjamin Miller." He murmured.
I saw his eyes change. I finally got to see emotion. And it was anger.
"Why don’t you stop looking for him and your friend? Try searching for soone who has a connection to Benjamin or the Santelmo’s. It doesn’t matter if it’s a big shot or just a small pry. A connection is still a connection." He suggested.
I was stunned and was unable to say a word. I just nodded in agreent because I didn’t expect him to give advice
"Now, do that later and cook for . I’m starving." He said.
"W-What? Cook?" I stuttered.
"Yeah. Your husband wants to eat."
"W-We have servants."
"I want you to cook for . Is that a problem?"
I wanted to smile when I saw him blush. I saw the Jayden I knew when we were in high school.
I shook my head and stood up. "No problem at all. Let’s go to the kitchen."
"Do I have to co? Can’t you just bring it here?" He said quite annoyed.
He was a lot different from the other him. The other Jayden would happily follow anywhere without complaints. I felt like we were drifting apart so I had to make sure to spend a lot of ti with him.
I heard him sigh. "Fine. But don’t expect to help."
I smiled and without a word, I took his hand and pulled him out of the bedroom.
"I’ll cook whatever you like. Make a request." I said.
I felt excited because he finally asked to do sothing for him. I knew he was annoyed and I felt like seeing sickened him. But I didn’t care. I made up my mind to make him look at again with love and affection. I would never believe that his feelings for suddenly changed.
"Just pasta and a sandwich will do." He said while sitting in front of the kitchen counter.
I nodded and started cooking after putting on an apron. My heart was pounding the whole ti because I knew he was observing . Why did I feel like running away from him instead of getting closer?
I glanced to where he was and caught him staring at . I sighed and put down the knife to stare back at him.
"If you have sothing to say then say it. Stop glaring at . You’re making uncomfortable." I said, hoping for so sensible response from him.
But instead, he grinned at and then licked his lips while staring at .
"Why? You said I’m still . The only difference is the personality of and him." He suddenly while walking toward .
"I have the right to take and claim what’s mine. You have no objection, right?" He continued.
His eyes were full of lust and desire. If he was the Jayden I knew, I would run into his arms and surrender. But the one staring at was the man with no feeling of compassion.
I took a step backwards and it seed he didn’t like it. He rushed towards and before I could run away, he grabbed by the waist and smirked.
"Don’t you dare walk away from or you’ll regret the consequences." He said with gritted teeth before crashing my lips with his.
