Chapter 125 Billionaire's Lies

• One evening, when the setting sun painted the sky with soft hues of orange and pink, Benedict realized it was time to do something more to prove himself to Sabrina. Though he had been patient in giving her space, as she needed it, he felt the load of time. He wanted her to know that this was not a joke; he had serious intentions about them-that is, rebuilding their family. He fussed in front of the mirror over the knotting of his tie. Tonight had to be flawless; tonight was only one stop on the journey for that future he was setting to build with her.
• He took a deep breath and checked his time; his message was sent-simple as could be: "Would you go on a date with me? A real one this time. Just the two of us. I'll take care of everything. Sabrina’s response came a few minutes later: “Okay, Benedict. I’ll be there.” The thrill of anticipation coursed through him. It wasn’t just another dinner or a casual outing. This was his chance to show her that he was committed to more than just being a father to Saben. He wanted to be her partner again, the one she could rely on, the one who would fight for her.
• Later that evening, Sabrina arrived at the location Benedict had chosen—a quiet, upscale restaurant with a view of the city skyline. Soft murmurs of classical music in the background accompanied the tender, apprehensive smile greeting each other. She wore a beautiful and simple dress with an understated elegance. For just an instant, Benedict couldn't help but remind himself of the very woman with whom he fell deeply in love all those years ago. "You look beautiful," he said softly, his voice low and sincere. Sabrina's cheeks flushed slightly as she stepped inside. "You clean up well, too," she teased, but there was a softness in her tone, a subtle warmth that Benedict hadn't heard in a long time. They sat at a table by the window.
