Benjamin
It had taken Sofia a while to realise he was really gone. Benjamin. Lord Ruffia. Her brother. He best friend. The last male heir to the Ruffia fortune.
Benjamin had never married, despite his mothers constant nagging about the need to find a wife and Sofia new why. It was their secret, nobody else ever knew there was more going on between them than than sibling love, but there was. Benjamin was the love of her life and their feelings were true, but now he was gone. Her Ben, gone forever.
The funeral came quick but time passed slowly. Hours felt like days, days like weeks and weeks like months. Two months after his death, Sofia found out Benjamin would be getting an heir after all. She was pregnant.
Having to go through this without her soul mate close was horrible for Sofia. As her belly grew, so did her sorrow. She stayed in her chambers and neglected her household duties, refusing to tell anyone what was wrong with her.
One day, her mother heard her cry as she walked past her chambers.
As she walked in to comfort her daughter, she saw the young woman’s swollen stomach protruding in her sleeping gown and knew right away the cause of Sofia’s sorrow.
“What have you done, you stupid girl! Who did this? He IS marrying you, you hear me, no daughter of mine is having an illegitimate child!� she screamed at the crying woman.
I wonder how Eveline will explain the babies to everyone?
