Eden's point of view:Eden sat in her bed and shivered, unable to sleep the entire night. The sun had started coming up and the room started brightening up through the skylight. She couldn't stop staring at the blood on the wall. The man had carried away Aliana's body, but her blood still painted a huge chunk of the wall. The scene kept repeating over and over in her head, how Carter had not even thought for a second to kill the woman. Several drops of blood had flew over and hit Eden's face too.Aliana had only tried to help her escape. She was a good woman and she was paid with nothing but death, right in front of Eden's eyes. After Carter had killed her, he had sat on Eden's bed and said to her, "Don't be scared, princess. I'll never hurt you like that." He tucked a strand of hair behind Eden's ear. She knew the gun wasn't on safety, he had just used it to kill someone. But she didn't care about herself, she just kept staring at the mad drage the dead body across the floor and out

Eden's eyes fluttered open and she saw Bennett's beautiful face sleeping next to her. For a moment she didn't even recall anything happening with Carter. She felt like it was the time when they had come back from Italy. They were so in love and nothing could separate them. Memories started flooding in and her face fell.  Eden tried to adjust her position without waking Bennett up, but he quickly woke up and started looking at Eden up and down to see if she was okay. She felt bad for waking him up, but what felt worse was the fact that she brought him yet another problem.  "Hey sleepyhead, how are you feeling," Bennett asked as he helped Eden sit up and smiled at her.  Eden smiled back but it was forceful. "I'm okay," she answered. Bennett looked at her, not sa

Eden and Bennett lay in the bed side by side, panting heavily as they stared at the ceiling. It was the first time in three months since either of them got sexually involved with another person. Eden looked at Bennett, he had his eyes closed, droplets of sweat on his face and his lips were slightly parted as he breathed heavily, his chest rising up and down as he did. As if sensing that Eden was looking at her, Bennett opened his eyes and gave her a, in that moment what Eden thought was, the most charming smile she had ever seen. Her heart almost skipped a beat looking at his perfect features. The only man she had ever truly loved was smiling down at her. She smiled back at him and placed a soft kiss on his lips.  "You're so beautiful," said Bennett, sending butterflies in Eden's stomach. Eden kissed him again and lay on his che

A week passed since the incident happened, and Eden continued to have nightmares about it. She felt like she was being a burden on the Mason family. They were alerted at all times, and were always careful of what they said around Eden. Theo, Betty and Chester were very nice to Eden, but none of it compared to how much care Bennett was taking of her. It made her heart melt everytime he did something to make her feel comfortable. He made her feel loved and wanted.  Eden hadn't seen Grace, Sophia or Natalia for a week. It was all over the news what Carter had done, so they knew what happened, but weren't allowed to meet her in person until they made sure that Carter was locked up.  The video of Carter harassing Eden and killing Aliana was leaked on the dark web, and soon it was being circulated around in group chats and server

Agnes left the house after greeting everyone. Eden was still in the room and refused to come out. Bennett walked in and for some reason felt relieved to see her cry. Though it hurt him to see her sad, she was finally acting normal.  Eden looked up and saw Bennett approaching her. He sat next to her on the bed and hugged her tightly. "It's okay. It's okay. Let it out." And Eden did let it out. She cried in his arms for hours until she fell asleep. Bennett tucked her in the bed and walked over to his closet, opening it to pull out a small velvet box. He opened it to look at the diamond ring he had given to Eden before their marriage. This time, he was not just planning to hand it over to her. Eden woke up to see Bennett sitting next to her on the bed, reading something on
