Chapter 175

Lily looked between her son and her husband. Benson looked like he couldn't hold on anymore. He lowered himself to the bed and tried to cover his face but matt was not having any of it.

"Look, I won't tell her myself but I will leave but expect you to open up to her yourself. If I find out that you didn't confess, you won't like what I will do to you!" Matt warned before walking out of the room as well.

"Matt, what is it?" Lily asked her son but Matt was already out the door. She then turned her attention to her husband who looked like he would disappear if Lily screamed.

"What did you do Benson?" Lily asked her husband.

Benson couldn't speak. He kept rubbing his hands together looking lost without making any attempt to start the conversation and end what his son had threatened him into doing.

Lily had gotten enough stress for the day, she didn't need more. She got up from the seat and moved closer to where he sat. "If you don't tell me what you did, I would walk down to Matt's room and tell him that you are not ready to confess anything to me."

Benson turned sharply to stare at her. "Please, honey don't do that."

"Well, if you don't want me to do that, then you will just have to tell me what's going on! What did you do?" She asked as she narrowed her eyes at him.

Benson didn't know how he was going to start telling his wife for so many years what he had done. How could Matt put him in this kind of situation? How was Lily even going to take it? Would she stay or leave him?

"Listen if you keep staying mute, then I will conclude that there is something wrong and won't warn you for the second time, I will just execute my threat!" Lily hissed. She was growing impatient. She needed to start drafting a foolproof plan on how they were going to destroy Ariana. The last thing she needed was for Benson to waste her time by staying mute longer than necessary.

"Fine!" She exclaimed getting up.

Benson felt his heart skip a beat as he saw Lily waltzing towards the door. It was going to be even terrible if Matt told his mother about it. It would be best if he just told her himself, besides, she was always not available for him, what did she expect him to do?

"I brought someone to our room!" He screeched in panic.

Lily was already reaching for the doorknob when his words reached her. She paused what she was about to do and slowly turned to face him.

"You did what?" She whispered.

Benson passed a hand to his hair but he had already let the cat out of the bag there was no going back now. "I brought a man to our bed and Matt caught me!" He hissed out.

"But it isn't as bad as you think, okay? I was just hurny and the guy was really appealing. I don't know what came over me... but it is no big deal. I just did it that one time. Plus guys are better at keeping secrets that's all." Benson babbled on like a child caught red-handed.

Lily slowly left the door and walked back to where he sat.

"I love you, Lily. I really do. The only problem is that sometimes you forget about me and worry more about other things—"

His words were left hanging as a resounding slap filled the echoing pockets of the room.

"Benson!" Lily screamed as her body shook with anger.

"Lily it is not as you think!" Benson tried to defend himself but Lily had already swatted her hand to his cheek.

"How dare you?" She breathed through her teeth. "How dare you bring your lover into my room and allow our son to see it?"

Lily pulled at her hair and started pacing around the room.

"What if he takes it to your father? What if this affects our inheritance?" She snapped out but never above the echoes.

Benson held his cheek in one hand and lowered his eyes. He thought she was going to reply from another dimension but she was truly just a selfish woman. She only looked at her interest in every situation. Benson was disappointed.

"I don't care who you sleep with! I do not give a fucking damn! But if you destroy the good work I have been doing all these years just because you can't keep your cock to yourself, we will both have serious issues!" She said pointing a threatening finger at him.

"Is that all you care about?" Benson whispered.

Lily turned to glare at him one more time and then she chuckled bitterly. "What? You thought I would care? Benson comes on by now you should have realized that I have never loved you! We are in this because you need my brain. On your own, you can't achieve anything! You need me and I am not stopping you from pleasuring yourself. Just do not let it affect the money j am to receive from my grandfather. After that you can do whatever you want, I don't care!"

With that, she walked to the bathroom to take a shower, and cool her angered head. Benson was the least of her problems. She had always known of his sexuality. He was attracted to both sex and that didn't bother her at all. She only reacted in this manner because Benson had foolishly allowed their son to find out. All she wanted was to keep maintaining the perfect couple picture, so that grandfather could give them a good portion of the Lawson inheritance. After that, she could sue the fool and get all the money for herself.

As she poured water on her body, she had only one thought, and it was how she was going to take up the plan right after Matt had slept with Ariana. She would embarrass her so much that Ariana would regret ever raising her voice to Lily.
