My Beloved

"I don't think anything bad will happen to me as long as I'm in big brother Yuan's house," Han Luo sweetly said, "as I know you will protect me from everything."

Mo Yuan looked at her for a while before pinching her nose. "Did you eat something sweet today? Why are you talking so sweetly?" He wished he could eat those sweet lips of hers.

"Because big brother Yuan lets me eat sweets every day!" Han Luo giggled.

While they were flirting, Martha was feeling happy. She saw how Mo Yuan treated Han Luo at lunch and it made her delighted. 'Good for that w*nch! Who told her to become so friendly with the Young Master? Even the Madam wants to make her his bride. I cannot allow that! I'll make everyone see how rotten she truly is and eventually, the Young Master will start hating her. She must be crying in her room now.'

Thinking of her crying face made Martha smirk sinisterly. She had pleasant dreams that day.

Benjamin walked into the dancing studio and everyone looked at him with surprise. He smiled and greeted them, and they also greeted him back. He then went to a large classroom where he saw a teenage girl playing the piano and a woman around his age dancing.

The teenage girl saw Benjamin and abruptly stopped playing. She exclaimed, "Ben!"

"Hey there, kiddo," Benjamin greeted her.

The dancer stopped dancing as well and turned to look at Benjamin. She was a beautiful English girl and had an excellent body shape. Her eyes beamed as soon as she saw him. She was a famous dancer – her name is Mary Jones. She was twenty seven years old.

She quickly came forward. "Ben, how come you…" She wanted to hug him, but he stepped backwards. He didn't want to be hugged by her.

Mary Jones paused and forced a smile. "It has been a while. How have you been?"

"I'm all right. Were you busy?" Benjamin sounded distant.

Mary Jones hurriedly shook her head. "Not at all. Is there something you need?"

"I do." Benjamin looked around and then asked, "Can we talk alone?"

"Sure, come to my office." Mary Jones gleefully started to walk.

Suddenly, Benjamin rejected the idea. "Not there, let's go to the canteen."

'So, he doesn't want to be alone with me.' She felt a sting in her heart because of his behavior. "…Okay…"

They went to the canteen and everyone started to whisper around them. They hurriedly moved away from the canteen and it soon became empty. Benjamin chose the corner seat and sat down after letting his companion Mary sit. She asked, "What do you want to eat? Should I order your favorite chicken sandwich for you?"

"No need, I'm not hungry. I'm here because I want you to do something for me." Benjamin directly went to business.

Mary Jones eagerly questioned, "What is it? If there's anything I can do, please tell me."

"I want you to prepare a girl for the international competition that's going to be held in November in Paris."

Mary hesitated before asking, "…Who is this girl?"

Benjamin reported, "She is a young girl around twelve years old. Her school applied for her after seeing that she is a good and promising dancer. However, she came to London a month ago. She doesn't have a dance teacher yet. She has been learning ballet since she was young. I hope you can take care of her."

She looked relieved. "Oh, I see. When will she come?"

Benjamin replied, "In the evening. I'll be her choreographer and you will be her dance teacher."

Mary protested, "But in the evening the dance school is closed."

"It will be open for her," Benjamin casually uttered.

Mary clenched her fists under the table. "Why are you going to such lengths for her when you stopped dancing years ago? Could it be because of her-"

"It's none of your business," Benjamin sternly interrupted.

Mary looked hurt. "Of course, it's my business! Back when we were dancing partners, you were the top tango dancer in Europe. But for such a random wretched girl…"

Benjamin's eyes dangerously narrowed. "Be careful of what you say. I don't have a high tolerance when someone bad mouths her. And this little girl has nothing to do with her. Don't take your anger out on her." His voice was low.

Mary stubbornly declared, "If you don't tell me why you are coming back after all these years, then I won't agree to teach her."

Benjamin threatened, "After what you did to her, you owe me big time. I still allowed you to be a part of this dancing school because you have potential. I will not tolerate any more of your disobedience. Think about the crimes you've committed and teach the little girl whole heartedly. Don't forget that I will be here to keep an eye on you."

Mary was deeply hurt by his words. Her body started to shake. "…So… you are saying that you let me stay so that you can use me… not because you couldn't bear to hurt me."

"I couldn't bear?" Benjamin chuckled. "After knowing that the accident was caused by you intentionally, I wanted to straggle you to death. Your jealously is so disgusting that you let an innocent girl suffer."

"Innocent girl?! I did it because I love you!" Mary exclaimed.

"You did it because you love yourself and you think you are the queen of the world. You think you can get anything you want and when you don't have it, you use extreme measures. If that incident was exposed, do you think you can dance proudly at this moment? Do you think you will have fans after they find out about your disgusting self?"

Mary's lips trembled. Her body paralyzed her from even moving an inch.. She begged as her eyes welled up. "Ben… please don't do this to me! I can take anyone's hatred, but I cannot take yours!
