Benjamin Confronts the Truth
He found the maids preparing the table with food. "Where is Erica?" His voice was deep and urgent. The maid replied, "She hasn't come down yet, sir."

"Why is that?" he asked, quickening his pace up the stairs. Entering their bedroom, he was met with a sight that made his shoulders drop in relief and worry at the same time.
Erica was sitting on the bed, her eyes red and puffy from crying. She looked up at him, her expression a mixture of hurt and resignation.

"Erica..." he began, but she threw him off.
"Why, Benjamin? Why Bianca? Why did you go to her?"
He took a deep breath, knowing that this moment would define their future. "I went to Bianca to find out some truths about my family. About my mother and my uncle Sam. I didn't mean for things to go the way they did."
