Amidst the grandeur of the ballroom, where chandeliers cast shimmering light and laughter filled the air, you found yourself standing alone, a solitary figure in a sea of dancing couples. Felix and Claudia had disappeared into the throng, leaving you feeling abandoned and out of place.
And then you saw him.
Benjamin Lemberg, the man you had once called fiancé, stood at the edge of the room, his gaze fixated on you with a mixture of desperation and longing. Despite the whispers and glances of the other guests, he made no move to approach, tension palpable in the air.
But something in his eyes, a flicker of longing, desperation, and regret, stirred a dormant emotion within you. Despite the pain and betrayal you had endured at his hands, a part of you couldn't help but yearn for the familiarity of his presence, the promise of a love that had once burned brightly.
As Benjamin's gaze met yours, time seemed to stand still, the distance between you closing with each heartbeat.
And in that fleeting moment of vulnerability, Benjamin's desperation became palpable, his desire to win you back written across his face like a plea. You saw the turmoil in his eyes, the longing to whisk you away from this world of pretense and keep you locked away in his estate, where he could have you all to himself, forever.
But before he could act on his impulses, reality crashed down upon you like a wave, reminding you of the pain and heartache that had brought you to this moment. With a heavy heart, you tore your gaze away, retreating into the shadows once more, leaving Benjamin to wrestle with his demons alone.
