Chapter 111

CHAPTER 111

Benjamin heard the voice recording, and his heart swelled from happiness. Surely, Rebecca hadn’t given up on him just yet. Though she had told him they should meet in person, he couldn’t control himself. He went to a private room and ended up calling her straight away. As the phone rang, his heart raced. As every second passed, he heard his heart and pulse more and more clearly. The call was answered, and there was silence. Nobody spoke. “R-Rebecca?” His voice contained all the care in the world. “Why did you call?” a quivering and unclear voice came from the other side. “I told you we should meet directly and discuss.” “Yes, but… were you sleeping? I mean, your voice is shaky.” “Yeah,” Rebecca rubbed her face. “I was tired, so I ended up falling asleep.” A few seconds of silence followed. Both felt like talking, but they didn’t know what to speak about. After moving away, she thought his priorities would change just as she was trying to change her priorities and get him out of his head, though it didn’t work out. Her family kept telling her Benjamin wouldn’t fit in the equation of Sterlings, but her heart still couldn’t move away from him.

Even though she had her family around her, she felt isolated all these days.

I worked hard and started earning enough so that my words will have some weight in this family, and that’s how I was able to marry you.” She paused, a hint of regret leaving her breath. “And I’m not sure where this will lead us… but trust me, I will not let their ramblings influence me. So…”

“So?” Benjamin’s heart was skipping fast.

“Let’s be… friends, until we sort all these issues, or misunderstandings or whatever they are,” she said. “Is that okay with you?”

He didn’t reply.

“Benjamin? Are you there?”

“I-It’s totally okay,” he replied and laughed a little. “I mean, they say couples are also best friends, so…

“About the divorce…” she hesitantly said and paused, but his heart shook from the suspense,“ let’s decide that after we come to a decision.”
