"Guardians of Virtue"
The sun dipped low on the horizon, casting a warm glow over the Benson residence as Mr. Benson, Beauty, and Jake gathered around the dining table for a specially prepared meal by Kate. The enticing aroma filled the air, setting the stage for a shared moment of connection.
Seated at the table, Jake couldn't shake off a feeling of shyness. Mr. Benson, ever perceptive, noticed Jake's unease and reassured him, saying, "Jake, feel at home. This meal was prepared with you in mind."
"Thank you, sir," Jake replied, a genuine smile breaking through his initial apprehension.
As they enjoyed the delightful feast, laughter and stories filled the air, creating an atmosphere of camaraderie. However, amidst the joy, Beauty and Jake noticed a shift in Mr. Benson's attention.
The television played a movie that captured Mr. Benson's focus. The storyline unfolded with a disturbing scene where a young lady faced harassment and, eventually, a traumatic incident. A hushed silence fell over the room as the characters on the screen mirrored the harsh realities of life.The lady was drugged and rapped by boss son . unfortunately the young lady was a virgin and this got Mr Benson so annoyed that ,why will they took her virginity forcefully without her consent,he said further virginity supposed to be a thing of joy,a lady supposed to give her virginity to husband not being forced by anyone.
Mr Benson said if anyone did that to any of his family particularly Beauty,he will kill the person immediately without waiting for justice from government.
Enraged by the on-screen injustice, Mr. Benson turned to Beauty and Jake, his eyes reflecting a deep sense of protectiveness. "Beauty, your virginity is your pride. Don't let any man tamper with it. Virginity is the pride and dignity of every woman. Keep yourself until your wedding day, and your husband will cherish and love you, treating you like a queen."
Jake, startled by the intensity of Mr. Benson's words, felt a chill run down his spine. The weight of responsibility and the awareness of the profound value placed on Beauty's purity left him momentarily speechless.
As Mr. Benson continued to emphasize the importance of preserving one's dignity, Jake found himself grappling with the newfound gravity of their connection. The conversation struck a chord deep within him, and he realized the depth of the responsibility that came with being part of Beauty's life.
Feeling a mixture of gratitude and a heightened sense of awareness, Jake expressed his intention to take his leave. Mr. Benson and Beauty walked him to the gate, exchanging appreciative words. The evening concluded with a lingering sense of guardianship—of dignity, pride, and the profound understanding that some values are non-negotiable.
Chapter 14, titled "Guardians of Virtue," marked a poignant moment in the narrative. The echoes of Mr. Benson's words lingered, weaving a thread of profound significance into the evolving relationship between Beauty and Jake.
