Love Untangled - Chapter 138

Benjamin

We stood there, for a while. Both a little awkward.

“I uhm… I got lost, I guess.” Saph said biting her lip. I cocked my head to the side and flasher her a crooked smile.

“Breathe… Saphira.” I reminded her. I saw that she felt caught and I immediately felt guilty doing so. “Well… where were you heading towards…” I said as I smiled at her.

“The-the kitchen…” She said shying away from my closeness. I backed away from her. “Ah.. you were now… and what did you think you would find there?” I questioned.

She was acting a little odd though.

“Lynn and I… and Raina for that matter… We uhm.. thought that it was a good idea to get drunk… But we were out of wine…” She said wobbly.

I scrutinized her face.  Her blue eyes had trouble focusing and it seemed she was…

“You are completely waisted!” I said more accusingly than I had meant.

“The audacity!” Saph said trying to fain my accent. I burst out in laughter and put a strain of her hair behind her ear.

“And what were you looking for?” She said sassy. I looked at her. It had been a while since I head really seen her.

I put my hand around her waist, steadying her and guided her back up the stairs, without telling her what it was that I was after.

“Where are we going?” She said. I scratched my right ear. “We are finding you gawls so more liquor.” I grinned.

This was exactly what I needed right now. I needed to feel lighthearted in this chaos. “Cedric, can you please fedge Raina and Lynn… They are…” I said as I looked at Saph for the answer. “In my bedroom.” She gawked as he entered my wing.

“Is this all yours?” She said as she was spinning around my room. “Well..” I said steadying her again. This whole palace is mine… since I am the king.” I said wiggling my eyebrows.

“I always thought that you were kidding that day on the beach.” She said as she plopped down on my couch. “About what?” I said as I poured us a drink.

“You don’t have wine?” She said like a sulky child. I nodded. “Nope.” I said. “This is much better.” I smirked.

“But… what did you mean? What day on the beach?” I asked. “When you told me you were prince charming…” She snickered. I flashed her a crooked smile and ran my hand through my hair. “Well yes… that was really cheesy when you look back on it, wasn’t it?” I laughed.

“Yes it totally was.” She said as she clapped her hands. “Ladies, I heard you all were up for something to drink.” I said as I saw that Raina and Lynn were entering.

“I did not think you would be up for this…” Raina said doubtfully. “I think…” I said as I raised my glass. “This is exactly what I need right now.” And I drank my scotch in one go. I poured in another one and drank that one as well.

Then I poured drinks for all the girls handed it to them. “Let’s toast.” I said. All those eyes grew big. “What are we toasting about?” Lynn said unsure.

“The death of Saeed.” I said and pressed my lips together. “In an hour I am going to have him split in four.” I said, not hiding my excitement. Saphira spat out her drink.

“You are what?!” She said in shock. “I. Am. Going. To. Split. Saeed. In. four.” I said making each word of the sentence clear.

“W.O.W.” Saphira exclaimed. “As a matter of speaking you mean?!” She question, not hiding her disgust.

“Nope, not at all. I am going to have him bound my his arms and legs and he will undergo a slow, but very painful death.”

“Benjamin!” Saphira said as she stood up. “Tell me you are kidding right now.” She ordered. I shrugged. “Of course I am not.” I said dead serious.

Saphira looked at Lynn and Raina for support. “You can not tell me that the two of you are okay wit this… right?!” She said in frustration.

“Where is all of your humanity?” She said accusingly.

“before I married her The man has sexually assaulted my wife…  Do you know that the night I married my wife… she was covered in bruises? He is the reason my wife screams at night. Then he held her hostage and later wanted to kill her by fire, causing my unborn children to die.” I said as I held up my glass again.

“Cheers to humanity. That man is nothing but a beast. He deserves everything that is coming for him right now.” I muttered.

“You know what Benjamin…” Saphira said as she came closer to me.  “You are no more than a beast either, when you slaughter someone like that!” She yelled and hurried out of my chambers.

“Shit.” I said as I put my glass away. I turned around to follow her. “That.” Raina said and I turned around towards her. “Is a very bad idea.” She said to me.

I frowned. “What do you mean?!” I frowned. “Would Jasmine be happy if you went after her right now?” She said as if she was my concious. I sighed and went to sit on the couch.

I pouted my lips and thought this through. I had just fired all the woman in my staff. “Probably not.” I agreed. I sighed.

“Who is coming with you?” Raina asked me. I shrugged. “Some men.” I said not really feeling the pleasure I once got out of the knowledge Saeed would not live for very longer.

I sharply blew out and could not find any peace. “I need to go see my wife.” I said and stood up. I walked towards the hospital wing and my grandfather walked up to me.

“Are you sure you are going to do this?” He asked me.
