Chapter 91.

**Benjamin's POV.

**

I couldn't stop thinking about her, I couldn't sleep but then I got a message from her and my heart skipped a beat.

Sofia : we done?

I read her message and I was to excited to answer so I made sure I didn't say something that would scare her but yet I couldn't find the right word.

Me : sleep!

Sofia : Answer my question.

I smile at how she hasn't change a bit. I didn't know what to say to her. I wanted so much to call her but I didn't want to push her away after everything I did.

Me : I don't have time.

I hit myself on the head after I send it. Good one Benjamin, you really so stupid.

Sofia : Why? why did you do it to me when you know I have been through worse.

A tear left my eye after I read her message and I whispered sorry as if she could hear me.

Me : why did you fall for a guy like me?

I wanted so bad to know even after everything I did to her if she still loves me.

Sofia : you made me fall for you. I would've never fall in love with an ugly billionaire like you if you didn't ask me to marry you. Now why did u do it?

"Love why don't you shower tomorrow is going to be a big day." Carlene told me coming in my room.

"I'll shower when I want. I'm busy now." I shouted and she looked at me angry. "What I meant was I'll go in the shower now." I faked a smile and she nod leaving my room.

What a psychopath!

I went to the bathroom and I couldn't stop thinking about Sofia's question. Maybe she asked because she still loves me, but why? Why would she still be in love with a guy like me?

I took my time showering and as soon as I tried to open the door it was locked from the other side.

"Carlene." I shouted for a couple of times and when I thought of breaking it she came smiling.

"Sorry, I was sleeping." I quickly nod my head and walked passed her. "Goodnight love." She shouted and I slammed the door annoyed.

Love do this? Love what are you getting me for my birthday? Love let's take a selfie ? Love, smile the people are watching? I'm sick and tired of her calling me love and telling me what to do!

Sofia : you made me fall for you. I would've never fall in love with an ugly billionaire like you if you didn't ask me to marry you. Now why did u do it?

I read Sofia's message again and I had a perfect reply. I know she'll understand because she's smart.

Me : maybe I fell in love Sofia.

Fuck I skipped two words. Why did I have to type so fast but it still makes sense, for me at least. I waited for an answer but She left me on read and it broke my heart. I know I took long to answer her message but I was in the shower.

The whole night I didn't sleep because I waited for her answer. I was scared if I fall asleep she might send a message and get angry if I take a while to reply so I did anyone who was in love would do. I stayed up waiting for a message from the mother of my children and the love of my life.

The next morning there was still no message from her so I got tired and went to the bathroom. As soon as I came out of the bathroom I saw a message from Sofia going downstairs to walk Carlene to her car.

Sofia : Go to hell!

I threw my phone angry and it almost hit Carlene.

"Benjamin what the hell?" She shouted angry as I opened the back door for her to leave for work.

"My mistake." I faked a smile and left for the living room after that.

"Let's go to my room." I told Jay who was speaking with the maid and he followed me.

"I'm sorry Benjamin but Carlene didn't fall for me. I swear I seduced her and everything but she's so in love with you." Jay said shaking his head as we entered my room.

"Jay you her first love. She stalked you her entire life, the whole college knew Carlene liked you so please just marry her or something because I'm tired of her." I begged him but it wasn't working,

"I did everything I could for you Benjamin but I'm sorry I can't do it anymore." Jay walked out of the room but there was no way he would leave me in this mess when they got me here.

"I'll tell Stephanie everything." I shouted running after him and he tuned around confused. "I'll tell her about you making Sofia strip."

"You wouldn't. Benjamin I'm your best friend, you can't blackmail me." He was shock but I can't be the only one who has to suffer, call me selfish or whatever you want.

"If I can be blackmailed so can you." It's life. We thought just because everyone fares us and we rich no one would have something on us. Something that might destroy lives.

"Carlene is your problem not mine. Please Ben don't do this to me." He begged me but I did that with Carlene and it never worked.

"I have a plan Jay. All you have to do is ask Stephanie to help, she's young and Carlene doesn't know her. I would ask Stella but she looks a bit like Sofia. Carlene is smart---."

"She's a psychopath and she's very smart Benjamin. Asking Stephanie to help us when we won't be near her when she does the thing is not a good plan. Carlene is too dangerous for a kid like Stephanie." Jay said interrupting me. If only he knew I know this is too dangerous for a kid like her.

"Jay, Layla would've done it but she's pregnant. Stella is rude so Stephanie is our only choice. Just please call her and tell her to come here. If we start tonight than she can get out of Carlene's house next week."

"What do you mean Carlene's house? Benjamin I thought you were talking about this house where you can keep an eye on her when you here." Jay said concerned.

"Carlene isn't stupid to hide something in my house. She hides everything in her house." After arguing for hours Jay finally agreed and called Stephanie to help us.

"Why I'm I here?" Stephanie asked looking at me angry.

"I need your help Steph." Jay replied and she just kept looking at me angry.

"Then let's talk at home not here when Benjamin is here." She sounded just like her sister with that stupid attitude.

"You sister needs help so stop acting like some Royal queen." I told her and her eyes widened up in shock.

"Is Sofia okay? Did something happen to her?" Stephanie asked concerned.

"She's fine but--." I paused because I didn't know how to say her sister was a stripper and Carlene has a video of her.

"Carlene has your sisters nudes." Jay told her and she shook her head not believing us.

"How? Why?" Stephanie asked and we both shrugged our shoulders. "What do you want me to do?"

"It was Benjamin's idea to make you a waitress at Carlene's party tonight and a maid for her house. Steph you have a way with words so please make Carlene like you and make sure you don't praise her too much or else she's going to know you fake." She quickly nod her head as Jay explained.

"You going to have to apply for the maid position and when she's refuses to give you the job tell her you going to work tonight for free just to show her you serious about the job. Stephanie make sure as soon as you enter her office you compliment her and tell her how beautiful her ring is and you can only dream of it." I told her so many other things to also say and she just kept nodding her head agreeing. I'm so glad she doesn't ask questions.

"None of you said where Sofia's nudes are?" Jay and I both looked at each other confused. I definitely didn't have an answer but of course Jay never runs out of answers.

"You see Stephanie, Benjamin and Sofia send each other nudes whenever they weren't together unlike us." Stephanie quickly nod her head embarrassed and I hit Jay.

"What? It's the truth." He still sticked to his story.

"Stephanie you just have to get my phone and don't open it and keep your eyes and ears open because Carlene doesn't trust anyone that's why all her employees do their best to get her to like them." I told her.

"You guys are talking about what I should know when you two forgot I'm sixteen and Carlene won't like that." Stephanie mumbled and Jay and I looked at each other.

"Carlene doesn't even check anything. She only cares about what you say when she's interviewing you and good think about today is I'm helping her so I won't choose you as the maid---."

"Why are you asking me to be her maid when you won't choose me?" Stephanie asked interrupting me.

"Because if I choose you than she's going to think I like you and then she won't hire you." I explained.

"Carlene is your wife I understand but what is she to Jay?" Stephanie asked.

"We used to do some business together and she kinda had a thing for me since high school, now are you done asking questions." Jay said and she nod her head.

"Benjamin I'm only doing this for my sister and Jay, not for a cheater like you so don't even think I care about you." Stephanie shouted pointing her finger at me.

"I'm sorry I lied but I never cheated on Sofia. I really do love her." I told Stephanie and she turned to look at Jay who nod telling her everything I said is the truth.

"But you lied to Sofia. You weren't with Jay or Jailson that night. You broke her heart Benjamin, you made her cry for days, weeks." She mumbled.

"I know." I started. "But I swear on Elijah's life I never cheated on her. I was at the office that night because I couldn't go home. I had to lie to Sofia to protect her and I know I made her cry but it was the only way. Stephanie your sister won't be able to show her face if those videos are posted online."

"What videos?" She shouted and Jay looked at me shaking his head.

"I meant pictures. Now leave before Carlene sees you here and please take care of yourself when you with her." I said and Stephanie nod her head.

"I'll go to her now to apply for the job, bye." Stephanie mumbled and I waved as she left the house.

"Are you not going to go with her?" I asked Jay.

"Of course I am but don't tell Stephanie that I'm seducing Carlene for you." Jay said and I kicked him out of the house after I agreed not to tell Stephanie anything.
