Chapter 481: The Graveyard
After a long, tense drive, the convoy finally slowed as the gates of the Winslow private graveyard opened. The path inside was quiet â too quiet â with tall cypress trees lining the sides, their shadows cast over the gravestones beneath the moonlight.The cars came to a complete stop. Doors opened simultaneously, Rakshashaâs men stepping out first, scanning the area before signaling the families to exit.Cordeliaâs heartbeat quickened.Benjamin gently took her hand as they walked toward the two main graves placed side by side on a raised stone platform. But the moment they reached themâŚCordelia froze.The graves â the resting place of her parents â were covered in thick dust. The marble had lost its shine. The flowers were wilted, brown and shriveled as if they had been left there for months without a soul caring enough to replace them.Benjaminâs expression darkened.He turned slowly â eyes burning â and fixed his glare on Marshall Winslow.His voice was low, laced with cold fury.â

The crowd stared in stunned silence for a moment⌠but Benjaminâs confident demand rang like a command.Clap for your new king and queen.One by one, hesitant palms began to come together. Polite claps turned to steady applause⌠then into a thunderous ovation. Even those who despised him clapped â because fear gripped their souls tighter than pride ever could.Benjaminâs satisfied smile widened as he turned his gaze to the bodies on the floor.âBy the way, Jacob,â he said casually, as if discussing weather, âdonât worry â I didnât kill your men. The only one I killed was the one who idiotically made a move at me.â He pointed with his fork. âThe rest? Shot with bullets filled with tranquilizer. Strong stuff. Theyâll sleep for about fifteen hours.âHe gave a light shrug. âSo relax.âJacob clenched his fists, veins bulging, fury boiling in his eyes â yet he couldnât utter a word.Benjamin cleared his throat and raised his voice cheerfully.âSo now⌠please, can the food and drinks be share

Benjamin then smiled faintly, his thumb brushing Cordeliaâs cheek. âHow about you and I get married right here, today?â he asked softly, yet loud enough for everyone to hear. âAnd later⌠weâll hold our main wedding properly. Do you love that idea?âCordelia stared at him with wide eyes, disbelief and hope swirling through her heart. âReally?â she breathed out, her voice trembling slightly.Benjamin nodded confidently. âYes. Of course.âCordelia swallowed hard, then nodded with a small smile and whispered, âIâll marry you then.âA collective gasp swept through the guests.Benjamin turned toward the pastor. âYouâll officiate us. Now,â he said calmly. Then he looked around. âWhere are the rings?âSomeone pointed toward the table where Raymond and Cordeliaâs wedding rings had been placed earlier.Raymond suddenly stormed down from the stage, fury boiling in his blood. âIf you want to marry her,â he snapped, âwhy don't you go set up your own place? Are you too poor to afford a wedding for
Chapter 478: Marshallâs Tape
Benjamin nodded, eyes softening as he cupped her cheeks gently. âItâs me, my love. Itâs me, Madam CordeliaâŚâ he whispered. âYour Elysian student.â That was all it took. Cordeliaâs emotions burst like a storm. Tears poured down her cheeks as her fists began striking his chest and arms. âWhere did you go?!â she cried. âWhy did you leave me alone?! Did you go to another woman?! You donât love me anymore!â Her hits were weak â fueled by pain, not anger. Benjamin didnât flinch. He wrapped her in a deeper, firmer embrace, holding her as if he feared losing her again. He lifted her face delicately, brushing tears with his thumb. Then he pulled her into a deep, passionate kiss â one that silenced her sobs and shook her entire body with longing. He broke the kiss only to speak close to her lips: âI didnât go to see any woman. I had one mission⌠and now Iâm back. Forever â only with you.â He hugged her tight again, shielding her from every eye around them. But Marshall stood
Chapter 477: Benjaminâs Return
Her legs weakened, memories flashing behind her eyes â laughter they shared, promises whispered, the day he vanished from her world. And now here he was⌠Looking at her like she was the only person alive. Her heartbeat whispered the truth she had been trying to bury: The man standing before her⌠was the man she truly loved. Benjamin also stopped walking for a moment⌠because the sight of Cordelia almost took his breath away. Cordelia stood on that stage with a grace that felt almost unreal â her figure more refined, elegant curves accentuated by the wedding gown in a way that made his chest tighten. Her waist looked slimmer, her posture confident and womanly. The dress hugged her body perfectly, showing how she had matured into a stunning, breathtaking woman. Her hair fell beautifully around her shoulders, her skin seemed to glow under the lights, and the light blush on her cheeks made her look even more divine. Even with the veil removed, there was still something dreamlike ab

Marshallâs wife also nodded happily, and Marshall himself stood tall with pride. Two bridesmaids approached Cordelia, helping her rise gracefully. Her veil still covered her face as Rose followed.Cordelia took in a deep breath as she approached the stage, each step feeling heavier than the last. Her heart pounded in her chest, but she kept her posture calm and graceful. When she reached the steps, she gently lifted her dress and climbed up, standing beside Raymond.The pastor looked at Raymond first and asked softly,âAre you ready, young man?âRaymond nodded quickly, a nervous smile on his face.âThen please unveil the bride.âRaymondâs hands trembled slightly as he reached for the veil. He lifted it slowlyârevealing Cordeliaâs face.Gasps spread through the crowd. Her makeup was light, yet she looked breathtakingâlike she was glowing.
