Chapter 98.

**Benjamin's POV.**

"And you said you would never see me again." She jumped when she heard my voice. "Do I really scare you that much, love?" I laughed. "I warned her. Killing women's is not my thing Carlene but you not a women."

"Stay away from me Benjamin." She shouted taking a few steps backwards.

"You scared?" I asked walking to her. "You made me beg you. I begged you not to blackmail me with Sofia's stripping videos. I told you how much she's been through, how it would break her heart if I broke up with her but did you listen? No. Instead you loved making her suffer. I made her cry, do you know how it feels to see the love of your life cry because of you?" I shouted.

"I'm sorry Benjamin, I will do anything please." She begged me just like I did.

Please Carlene don't let me do this. I can't break up with her, it will break her. I will give you anything you want. I will give you my companies if you want just don't post those videos. Please don't let me break up with Sofia.

Those were my words. I begged her day and night. I had to stay in the office a few days just to avoid lying to Sofia. I tried killing Carlene but she told me if she died than her father would post it and if I killed her family than someone I don't know would post it. I couldn't risk Sofia's reputation being ruined.

"Can you bring back all the time I missed being with them." I shouted grabbing her neck. "Nothing you do can ever change what I made Sofia go through."

"I can't--breath." Carlene said and I laughed chocking her.

"That's how she must've felt you know." I shouted. "When she was crying day and night, when Elijah was looking for his father you never cared." I continued and she was trying her best to take my hand off her neck. "I had to watch Sofia cry every night because of you."

"Stop it." I heard Sofia shout and I quickly turned to her. "Please Benjamin don't kill her." She begged me crying. "Killing her won't make a difference, you just going to regret it."

"No I won't." I corrected her and turned back to Carlene who was coughing on the floor.

"How would you feel." Sofia shouted and I turned to her. "How would you feel if a man was chocking me to death because of something I did?"

"You not like her Sofia, there's a big difference." I shouted and she shook her head.

"Everyone makes mistakes Benjamin and you know it. So please don't kill her." She begged me and I kicked Carlene before walking away from her. "You such an asshole." Sofia commented as we left the house.

"You ready for a happy family?" I asked opening the car door for her and she nod smiling.

"Emily will be here in a few months and she will definitely complete the family." Sofia said and I started driving the car.

I have been secretly praying for the baby to be a boy because after everything Charlotte, Sofia and Layla has been through I don't think I want a daughter anymore. Stephanie that teenage girl, I really feel sorry for her, she's going to have it worse than them because of all the secretes Jay is keeping from her but the good thing about Jay's secrets is that only Jacob, Jailson, Carlos and I know and well Sofia knows one and that's the worst one of them all. I on the other hand has two dark secret. Darker than all Sofia's secrets and only Carlos knows which will never tell anyone because we had a deal. My secret would destroy my whole family which is why Sofia can never know because I can't break her heart again. I love her so much to tell her the truth about the night I kicked her out of the house and the person responsible for her father's death. I don't want her to start mourning again. I would've never thought after three years and six months the love of my life would come back in my life. Our secrets might have haunt us but at least I'll make sure this one never comes out.

Eight months later!

Sofia's POV.

I would've never imagine I would have two beautiful babies and a wonderful husband who loves me just for me. Four months ago I gave birth to a beautiful angel and we named her Emily, Benjamin was happy but than I found out he actually wanted a boy. Elijah on the other hand freaked out because he dreamed about having a baby brother. He even told me the name of his brother. Oliver Carson Black and I was happy to hear the beautiful name but where he got it made me almost kill Elijah. I feel sorry for Elijah's kids because he named his own brother after an oil. After Elijah told Benjamin and I he wants a brother called Oliver, Benjamin thought of getting me pregnant but I made sure I always took my pills and this time I also made sure Benjamin doesn't know where I put them.

Emily Ariana Carson Valentines Black has been Elijah's number one enemy because unlike any other brother he is actually so jealous of her. Elijah believes she looks like me unlike him and he hates it. Annette and him even told his classmates that Anna and I vomited out the babies just because they use to see us get morning sickness.

I named Elijah, sky because he is my world and he was my light during the darkest times in my life, even if Emily is the baby now, I love them both equally. Elijah was my light during my darkest days and I can never forget that. I gave Emily her second name Ariana, because it was the closest name to Adrian and Aiden. Emily was born a few months after Aiden who was known as Jailson passed away. He died in a car accident and his death made everyone think about how lucky we are to have one another. Everyone, especially all the top criminals showed up at his funeral. It was like the entire America knew him because the funeral was bigger than I thought.

Elijah cried day and night for him. Charlotte was heartbroken and blamed herself even though it was an accident and she never meant to kill him. Adrian missed him a lot even though he doesn't know his uncle passed away because his too young to understand. Jay and Stephanie even thought of moving out of New York because Jailson's death was a shock to them. No one actually knows what happened expect for Damien, Charlotte myself and Benjamin who was heartbroken to lose his brother just after he accepted him.

Tucker finally proposed to Stella who is still studying a lecture. We found out the reason he proposed was because there's too many guys that like her . Everyone actually prayed for the children she's going to lecture because she lectures too much. Diego still single, Damien and Charlotte still killing each other. Layla gave birth to twins and Carlos was released from Jail. Yep! He was framed with murder. Maxwell, Benjamin's friend that stole from him when he was eighteen came back, running away from his ex-girlfriend, Chloe. He chose money over her but now he is heartbroken because she married. She even gave birth to his daughter but they still solving things because Chloe's husband thinks it's his daughter. Anna and Marko have two beautiful daughters Annette Michele Kingston Hendricks and Megan Sofia Kingston Hendricks, yep Anna and Marko named their second daughter after me.

"Sofia, don't you think it's your turn to feed Emily?" Benjamin asked holding Emily who was crying.

"Mommy is feeding me." Elijah replied shouting and he quickly took my hand.

"But you said you old enough to eat on your own." Benjamin said and he shook his head.

"Mommy, I'm also your baby." Elijah looked up to me and I nod picking him up.

"I'll feed your sister and daddy will feed you okay." I told Elijah and he nod. "Won't you give your sister a kiss?" I asked.

"Okay mommy." He quickly kiss Emily on the cheek. "I love you." He said to Emily and Benjamin and I looked at each other confused as Elijah ran to the kitchen.

"He is definitely up to something and it's definitely not something good." Benjamin said and I nod taking Emily from him. "Don't forget our date tomorrow." Benjamin added and I went upstairs.
