Lisa looked genuinely surprised, whereas Veronica was controlling herself from bursting into laughter because Elizabeth looked like a thousand pound bird crap had crashed upon her and completely ruined her makeup, thereby making her look as ugly as ever.“Who the fuck did you just call an Aunt?” Elizabeth howled in rage and came running at him like an enraged beast.“W-Wait, I can explain this!” Benjamin ran and stood behind the large dining table. When she came from his left, he ran to his right. When she tried to come from his right, he ran to his left.“What’s there to explain? I’m only forty years old, and you dare call me an aunt!” She looked for something to hit him with. She picked the nearest objects, the flower vases, and began throwing those things at him.“I’m not even thirty, and your children call me uncle, don’t they?” Benjamin asked.“Shut up,” Elizabeth didn’t care to even comprehend what he just said. She only wanted to beat the shit out of him in any way possible. “St
In the evening, the parent teachers meeting started, but Benjamin didn’t come yet. Lisa couldn’t blame him after what her mother did to him.“Where are your parents?” one of the teachers passing by asked her in the corridor.“My dad’s on the way, sir,” she ended up lying.Unlike her, Roshan and other two children of Sterling family didn’t need a parent to compulsorily arrive, as their grades were among the top.As she was biting her nails, someone grabbed her shoulder from behind. She looked over her shoulder, and it was the least person she ever expected to come.“Was I late?” Benjamin was sweating and panting. Elizabeth hit all over his body, save his face, so looked clean at the moment. And luckily, he wasn’t wearing the pizza outfit either.“Y-You came…” Lisa was left in a daze.“I gave you my word, didn’t I?” He put his hand on her head. “Let’s go and meet your teacher fast. I need to go back to the pizza hut before 4:30.”“What? There’s only fifteen minutes left. You want to end
At 4:30, a Porsche and a motorcycle stopped at Rye’s Pizzas at the same time. Benjamin and Rebecca kept peering at each other through the glass shielding before them.She opened the door and stepped out for the first time in this place. “Were you working over time?”Benjamin took off his helmet and showered a smile. He didn’t even hear what she just said. He was just so happy she got out of her car.He jumped off the bike like he was full of energy. “Do you want me to show you around?”“No. You know that I don’t like pizzas, or things that have anything to do with bread,” she said, sounding not so interested in having a prolonged discussion.“Y-Yeah. Then you’ll probably not like the smells inside. Just wait here. I’ll be out in two minutes.” He rushed into the nearest hut and came running out before two minutes passed.She was already sitting in the driver’s seat and waiting for him to get in. He stopped at the door outside the second front seat.“Not there,” she turned her back sli
Benjamin’s heart wasn’t under his control from the moment he heard that Jacob and Selena were staying out for the night. As his wife’s words played in his mind, his heart melted. And the faint sounds of the shower swelled his emotions like ocean waves, and he was feeling so energetic all of a sudden.And when she walked out, he asked her a straightforward question. “Can you tell me one thing?”“No,” she said.“Why don’t you speak all that much?” he asked. “Do you have a word limit per day or something?”She didn’t reply.“Again, the same silence,” Benjamin sighed. “What exactly are you, Rebecca? A rose? Or the thorn hiding underneath?”“I’m Rebecca,” she said, getting down on the bed and picking up a fashion magazine. “Just a fashion designer, but if you want me to be poetic… is there a rose without a thorn?”Benjamin paused for a second and smiled. “Rebecca… You are my rose and my thorn.”“Yeah. I know that,” she replied. She had washed her hair, so he could feel her scent drifting al
Benjamin was dreaming about having the world’s greatest wedding until a maid’s voice woke him up.When he checked the time, it was already past nine in the morning. The maid was cleaning the room. His wife wasn’t there.“So it was a dream…” he shook his head. He and Rebecca got married in a small church with only the church members playing witness. Could it even be called a wedding? He wondered. None of her friends or family were present there. None from his side were present, either. While he didn’t hate getting married to Rebecca, the way their marriage happened was forgettable.As he was yawning, he realized that the maid was stealing glances at the bulge in his pants. “What are you looking at?” He covered it with a blanket.The maid anxiously left the room.He had to wait a couple of minutes for his morning wood to calm down. And then he hurriedly prepared and came downstairs for breakfast. He didn’t see Rebecca at the table, so he asked Kathy where she went.“Madam Rebecca already
“What do you say, my dear brother-in-law?” Shawn showered a pleasant smile as if nothing bad had happened between him and Benjamin only a minute or two ago. Benjamin had seen a lot in his life leading up to this moment, but this professional businessman still left Benjamin in a bit of an awe.He had seen chameleons blending with their surroundings, but Shawn seemed a lot more dangerous than chameleons could ever be. A man who could portray both a sharp and a soft smile at the same time. He was just a scary man to sit next to.However, Benjamin didn’t let Shawn suck him into the flow.“Brother-in-law, the thing is…” Benjamin hesitantly said. “I was saving up the money to buy a necklace for Rebecca.”“Oh…” Shawn was still smiling, but his brows were getting a bit stiff.“I do want to help you, but… I can’t give you more than 10 grand.”“Mm…” Shawn stayed unnaturally silent. The driver could feel the tension rising the moment Benjamin addressed Shawn as brother-in-law, and he was sweatin
Rebecca came home alone. As she was parking the car, Anous acted arrogantly, thinking it was Benjamin in the driver’s seat, and this time received two slaps, one on each cheek.After Rebecca left, he cursed himself. “What rotten luck. Why is this crazy woman parking the car again?” It made no sense, and his stomach made hungry noises as if it didn’t care about his feelings whatsoever.Seeing Rebecca enter the house alone, Selena put aside the book she was reading and stood from the sofa elegantly. “Where’s your disrespectful husband, my little darling?”“How would I know?” Rebecca climbed the stairs without even stopping to talk to her mom.Selena, however, was smiling very brightly. “He must be walking on his way back right now.” She went to the maids and told them to prepare a list of the works that needed to be done, so she could make Benjamin do all that the moment he came home.Selena sat on the sofa and enjoyed her once-a-week cheat drink that was her favorite milkshake with dry
The next morning.Oliver and Devon returned to the Sterling villa in a taxi. When the other butlers asked them where they went, Oliver told them he took Devon to a clinic, and Devon also acted like he couldn’t walk properly. Nobody doubted them as they weren’t known for skipping work.They went to the butlers' dorms and sat down on their beds. Oliver was rubbing his belly. “We’ve eaten a lot last night, and my stomach is already crying for breakfast.”“You’re still young, that’s why,” Devon lied down comfortably. “I’m not gonna eat anything for today. I never thought I’d spend nearly 10,000 dollars in one night. I wish Sheron was still alive. I would have taken her to a seven-star hotel.”“Hahaha,” Oliver was laughing, but in his mind, he was thinking how to get the card from Devon. He no longer believed that the card was demon-possessed. If only he could get that card, he would just run away from this villa and withdraw enough money so he could settle for his life. “Since you’re resti

Some days later.Sofia Myers ordered pizza from an apartment she had recently bought.And to her surprise, it was Benjamin who delivered it.“It’s you?” Sofia remembered him. “Aren’t you Rebecca’s husband? You both are having an official wedding soon, right? Why are you still working as a pizza-delivery guy?”“I have my reasons,” Benjamin replied. “And it’s more of a part-time job now.”“Okay, come on in,” Sofia told him.When he entered the apartment, there were over a dozen females there, smoking and drinking.“This guy is Benjamin, a mighty pizza-delivery guy who married a bald woman,” Sofia started making fun of him to make her friends laugh.Benjamin quickly countered her, saying, “It seems your husband has left you to your pleasures. I’m not surprised, though I might not have done the same thing.”Sofia gritted her teeth and threw her mobile at him.Benjamin caught it with ease. “A woman who easily gets angry will have a hard time obtaining a place in any man’s heart.”“Get the
Samuel Sehla and Kathy started dating.And Amber began to work for the Sehla family now, acting as a spy for Kathy.Samuel’s wife, Kismet, got sent divorce papers. Half of her face was still paralyzed.She tore the divorce papers into pieces. “How could you do this to me, Samuel! I will not let you get what you want!” she screamed madly. “Never!”Andrew Sehla, on the other hand, was busy dealing with all the new troubles and terror he was facing ever since he tried to do some good after getting forced by Benjamin a few weeks back.“I don’t have much longer to live anyway,” Andrew thought. “So I’ll live it in a way that it doesn’t leave any regrets.”Knowing that his time was short, he started passing some groundbreaking laws in the country.In the Sterling villa.George was begging his mother Dorothy to let him be the driver of the Sterling family.Dorothy didn’t know that George knew about Shawn killing Nolan beforehand.So she told him that he could work as a driver, but then Elizab
“Why can’t I meet him once?” Lisa yelled at her mom. “If you’re not going to let him see me, then I’ll leave this house!”“You think I’ll come running after you?” Elizabeth yelled back. “Leave the house if you want! No one is stopping you!”Lisa then angrily left the house and walked away on her bare feet, crying and shedding tears.It had been weeks since she had seen her dad, and she just wanted to talk to him once more and know how he was doing, but her mother was not even letting her contact her dad.Lisa didn’t know for how long she walked, but her stomach started growling.It was twelve in the afternoon, and she hadn’t eaten anything. So, she was really hungry now.She looked across the street. There was a bakery.Lisa touched her pockets and frowned as she didn’t have any money.She put her hand on her abdomen and rubbed it for a few seconds and was then walking away.“Lisa, what are you doing here?” Benjamin who was traveling in a truck had just made the driver stop the vehicl
In Sciocidad also known as the Sky City.“So she asked for more time…” Ryan sighed.He became the temporary ruler of the Wolfe clan.“Both Benjamin and Rye have left this seat, which is something that never happened before,” Ryan’s voice was gritty yet sad. “This doesn’t set a good example for the coming generations, especially given that we’re living in the end times.”“Don’t tell me, you’re planning on making someone else the sovereign?” Uzza quickly asked.“No, not yet,” Ryan replied. “We’ve lost a lot already. We can’t be wasting our people’s time or give them false hope. It is better to pick a new ruler, but I will wait a little longer.”Even though Ryan didn’t say it, Uzza felt that the time limit would probably be six months.“Come back soon, Rye,” Uzza wished in her heart.Elsewhere in the same city, in a dark dungeon.“With a friend like you around, what’s the need for enemies?” Benyamin was hissing at Dahlia as she poured her spiritual energy into Benyamin’s spine relentles
Rye’s POV:My first and only love has truly left me.After cutting my heart into pieces without making me bleed… That’s how he left me.My tears won’t fall.I can’t feel anything.Neither sadness nor regret.Nothing.Even though my one and only love has abandoned me, I can’t even shed tears.Just what kind of a person am I?What kind of a woman have I become?I keep cutting onions in one the huts of Rye’s Pizzas, but even the raw onions are not able to bring me to tears.“How long are you going to keep doing this?” A voice washed my back.Without turning, I knew that it was my mom Uzza.“Choose someone else as the sovereign,” I said, continuing to cut the chillies, hoping at least the chillies would elevate my anger.“You’re making the same mistake that Benjamin did,” my mom sighed. “Everyone is waiting for you, so please come back.”“I have no intention of returning any time soon,” I replied.My mom’s hand touched my shoulder. She slowly turned me around.Our eyes locked each other.
A few days later.At six in the morning.Rebecca woke up and found Benjamin resting with his head at her legs. “Benjamin, why are you sleeping the other way? You’re not a cat. Sleep next to me!”Benjamin rolled over to her side and lay next to her, sharing the same pillow. “Last night, I woke up for water, and then I saw the mole on your thigh, and I wanted to sleep next to it.”Rebecca’s face flushed very much. “Stop it, you are talking like a child!”“Aren’t we both still children in our relationship?” Benjamin gently touched her chin and planted a kiss on her cheek.Rebecca’s face gained some more blood. The same could be said for Benjamin. Both of them were fair and were in the prime of their age, so they appeared a thousand times more attractive when blood rushed to their faces.After Benjamin kissed her, Rebecca felt her emotions stirring up again. She pulled the blanket up and covered both of them and hugged him tightly and showered kisses on him.“I think it’s time for breakfa
The moment blood gushed out of Rebecca’s neck, while her eyes were staring at him, Benjamin immediately snapped.“BENYAMIN~~!!”His roar reverberated through the hearts of all the people there, shaking their very souls.Benjamin’s suit was ripped to pieces as he grew into a mighty silver werewolf and leaped forth.In a flash, Benjamin’s claws cut through Benyamin’s shoulder and snatched Rebecca.Benjamin vanished from people’s sight and landed on the rooftop.Dahlia and Uzza took Benyamin and also vanished from there.Rye stood frozen, and so did Selena and everyone from the Sterling family. The guests were also thrown into chaos as a man had turned into a monster right before their eyes.Louis and Bella were quick to act. They cast a wide spell together, which swiftly erased the recent memory of this wedding itself.However, they did not remove the memories of those from the Sterling family.Almost every guest collapsed on the floor afterward, but Selena and others were still standin
The wedding night has arrived on time just like the full moon in all of its splendor.Rebecca did not look happy because Selena did not send invitations to most of the people she should have.Selena didn’t want this wedding news to be spread around the world, either, so she tried her best to suppress it from behind the scenes.Jacob also played his part in doing what his wife wanted him to.Shawn entered the villa, wearing a disguise, as he wanted to see his sister’s marriage and also see his wife and kids once.The wedding was taking place in the front yard.Benjamin was standing in the distance, far from the crowd.Jane and Veronica brought Rye out of the villa. Dressed in dazzling white, she looked like the walking moon.Benjamin didn’t even look in her direction as his back faced the villa.Holding a bouquet of white roses and lilies, she waited for the groom.Moments later, Benyamin also walked out of the villa, as escorted by none but himself. With a hand in his pocket, he walke
