The snow in Mand had bceased/b, but the air around the dock remained damp and biting with bcold/b.

Carly and Benjamin stood at the edge of the water, watching as a ck–d man unceremoniously tossed the unconscious Celine onto the deck of the yacht.

Benjamin’s gaze flickered between Celine and Carly, “Carly, how could you have someone bring Celine here? What have you done to her?”

Carly frowned. “Benjamin, are you questioning me now?” she asked. “I’ve noticed something. You’re changing. Your heart is starting to lean toward Celine, isn’t it?

Benjamin’s expression faltered, and he quickly denied it. “That’s not true, Carly”

Carly pressed on. “Do you still see me as your sister–inw?”

Benjamin bnodded/b. He had always believed Carly and Adam were a match made in heaven. “Of course,” he said

Benjamin looked at Carly and reluctantly bnodded/bb. /b“Fine, Carly. I’ll help you.”

Without another word, he boarded the yacht, which soon sailed away, vanishing from Carly’s sight.

A sly smile curled on her lips. She had known Benjamin would do what she asked.

Out on the open water, Benjamin stared bdown /bat Celine, who remained unconscious. bHer /bserene face seemed at odds with the hatred he had always felt toward her

He had never wanted to like her, but now, as he knelt beside her, he was feeling torn.

He had been told to make her vanish, yet as he reached out to push her into the sea, something inside him held him back. His hand hovered, but he couldn’t bring himself to follow through

Back on shore, Carly was waiting for the news she had expected. She had carefully manipted Benjamin, knowing that once he followed through, she would have him under her control. He would be her pawn, used for her own ends,

Just as her thoughts lingered on her victory, her phone rang. It was Benjamin.
