Chapter 118

• Heather stormed into her house, her anger and frustration palpable as she slumped into the chair, letting out a deep sigh. She had just returned from attending Mr. Benjamin's funeral, a ceremony she had reluctantly attended, not wanting to draw attention to herself or be seen by the grieving family. Instead, she had kept a safe distance, hiding behind a sea of unfamiliar faces, all while trying to process her own tumultuous emotions.
• As she sat there, she couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness wash over her. Despite her best efforts to resist, she found herself missing him, remembering the times they had spent together, and the memories they had created. But her sadness quickly turned to anger as she realized she was mourning a man who had wronged her in the worst possible way. She was furious with herself for falling for his charms, for trusting him, and for loving him.
• The pain of his betrayal still lingered, and the fact that he had died before she could exact her revenge only added salt to the wound. But as she sat there, seething with anger and resentment, a newfound determination began to take hold. She made up her mind then and there that she would reveal herself to the Benjamins, that she would make them know the truth about their beloved patriarch and the pain he had caused her.
