Benjamin's POV:
It finally hit me in the morning. I was having an affair with a queen. The queen of Aldrich. If anyone as much as suspected anything, I was a dead man.
“Benjamin?”
I looked up to my mother. We were supposed to have lunch together three times a week and she was very excited to see me, so was I, but I was distracted. How could I not be?
“Are you alright? Is it the food? Does it not taste good?” my mother asked me.
I shook my head, “No, the food is great and yes, I'm alright. Just... thinking about something.”
Someone. That sounds more like it.
“Did something happen?” she asked, pouring more juice for me.
I shook my head, “No, not really. Did I tell you Beatrice gave birth to a baby boy?”
“Yes. I'm afraid, it's the hundredth time you're telling me,” she smiled.
