The next morning. Jane woke up in a good mood almost like a dog with two tails. “I had all these sweet dreams of being with Benjamin. Too bad I didn’t get to kiss him well because of his mustache. If I get another opportunity again, I won’t miss it. I will make sure he will fall for me, hehe.” She prepared coffee and walked out of her room, whistling to herself, only to see Donovan and Jasmine kissing by the stairs. She was stunned for a second, but then her eyes gained blood pretty fast. “What the hell are you doing in a public place?” she howled and splashed the hot coffee in their faces. “Kya!” Jasmine screamed in pain, but Donovan bore it. “This is my apartment, so if I see this again, I’ll kick you out,” she warned Jasmine. Both Jasmine and Donovan went into their room. “Why didn’t you beat her?” Jasmine yelled at him. “Just one slap would have been enough for that bitch.” “This is her apartment, so let’s not unnecessarily complicate things.” “Unnecessarily?

Arlo was in a movie theater, watching the original version of El Man. A pitying smile crept up onto his face. “If this version had been released, it would have probably shaken the world. Too bad, it didn’t.”Blackbear was standing behind his seat. It was a private screening, so only those two were present right now.“Trying to do two things at once will make one fail in both,” Blackbear remarked. “Not only did he try to produce two big movies, but he also got too greedy and wanted to release the films by himself. Naturally, he made a lot of enemies, and that made things easier for us.”“Mm, so what did you want to talk about?” asked Arlo glancing back at Blackbear who seemed to have suffered some wounds.“One of our customers asked me to spoil a girl’s name.”“So?”“That girl is… Rebecca Sterling.”“Who’s this customer?”“The foreign pro-wrestler.”“Ah, Don something.”“Yes, sir. Donovan. That’s the guy. What do you want me to do?”“Well, things are just getting interesting,” Arlo rub

Rebecca went to Ducksbelly restaurant where she had told Benjamin to bring Jane along. However, to her surprise and shock, only Jane was waiting at the table, oblivious to the fact that it was Rebecca who set up the whole thing.“Benjamin…” Rebecca’s heart played in a strange rhythm. “He’s not here?” she hid behind a waiter and dialed Benjamin. “Hello, where are you?”“I’m really sorry, Rebecca,” answered Benjamin in a low voice. “My friend’s grandmother died, so I had to come here and help her.”There was nothing Rebecca could say afterward.“What do you two need me for anyway, right? You two have fun. I’ll call you later. Bye,” Benjamin said before hanging up the call.“This guy… what a trouble he’s putting me through,” she took a deep breath before entering Jane’s view, completely grabbing her attention.Before Jane wondered what Rebecca was doing at the restaurant, Rebecca sat down at their table and said, “I’m the one who called you for a meeting.”Jane’s tongue kept poking her i

A few minutes prior to the auction at the Sterling villa.At the Bugatti showroom, the shop opened at 9 AM. The customer handler, who was also recently promoted to the manager post, brought his girlfriend to the showroom.“Baby, why don’t you take me for a ride in one of these exotic cars?” she couldn’t take her eyes off the super cars before her, especially the new Chiron models. “That Pur Sport… Don’t you want to see how it’ll feel inside?” She put his hand on her belly and brought it down slowly. “I will ride it really carefully.”“Its horsepower is unlike anything you’ve ever experienced before,” he raised one of his brows. “Are you sure you can handle it?”“So naughty,” she pinched his cheek.“Haha, just wait. I’ll go and bring the keys for you.” He went into the office, and she kept checking the other cars that were there, humming a catchy tune.A man with a winter-white hair and a time-chiseled face entered the showroom.The woman looked at this man who was in all white and was

Jacob wanted everyone from the family gone from the villa by the time the auction started, but no one in his family listened to him anymore. They weren’t directly scolding him, but they weren’t smiling, either.By the time the auction started, Jacob and his sons were seated next to the auctioneer they had hired, while the rest of the family was standing at the foyer.What Jacob didn’t like was that both Langdon Campbell and David Bonsbell were also present among the buyers, and they hadn’t said a word to him about their interest in the villa. Had they told him, he would have sold the villa in private instead of doing this humiliating thing, where he had to sell this in front of the people he owed money, including Jane’s dad, Mike.Like vultures, they waited patiently. Jacob hoped at least Mike would come and talk to him, but he didn’t.Arlo Campbell was also there, but he was here only to watch. Rebecca wasn’t present in the villa, so he was slightly disappointed.Artur Bonsbell sat n

Seeing the black sports car, Artur stood up from his seat. “Bugatti la voiture noire?” It was the car he tried so much to buy but failed to. Who the hell was in the driving seat? He very much wanted to see the person as soon as possible, so he started walking before he knew it.“Bugatti la voiture noire?” the auctioneer’s jaw hung open. “Aren’t there only ten of those in existence? It’s a car that even billionaires can’t get their hands on. Just who could be riding that thing?”David Bonsbell frowned from hearing the auctioneer’s words because he was also one of those who had tried his best to buy this car as a birthday gift for his son, but he didn’t succeed.“That’s not bugatti la voiture noire,” Brandon said, making some heads turn toward him. “That thing is even more special and rare. It is the prototype made before the final version got released. It’s the one and only car in existence, bugatti la voiture noire zero.”“Zero?” David didn’t believe it. “How the hell do you know that

Langdon and David left without even meeting Jacob who was now surrounded by Mike and men whom he owed money.Ninety-five percent of the 200 million he received vanished from his account in a matter of minutes because he had to also pay the interest. Mike alone received 18 million out of that.Jacob needed the rest of the money and more for the post-production of his movies. He tried calling his wife and asking her on the phone to send him some money, but she hung up. He looked at her who was standing at the foyer, together with the family. She looked back at him, and no love was exchanged between their gazes; if anything, there was silent anger, frustration, and hatred.Ryan noticed what was going on. “Housekeeping is like playing chess. If you aren’t careful with your pieces, you will lose them to the opposition that is the world. Did this housekeeper lose only his queen, or others, too?” he pondered for a little while. “If I don’t do something, this little pack will disband.”Ryan s

Rebecca was driving her Porsche, but her heart was elsewhere. Being slapped by her best friend, and for something she didn’t do… just thinking about it brought tears to her eyes like waves sweeping to the shore. Pain painted her face with ugliness like rain ruining a perfect sculpture.The car reached the villa and stopped at the entrance. She got out and took a look at the villa, where she thought she wouldn’t be staying anymore. She gave a once over at the garden; she would be missing the characteristic flutter of leaves in a breeze, the familiar smells, and the peace walking on the grass would bring upon her soul. She would be missing all these simple but soothing things.Just then, George hurried over to her and told her the good news.She thought he was just cooking up some bullshit story just to mess with her, but then Lisa came over and said the same thing.“The new owner allowed us to stay here? As long as we want?” she still found it hard to believe. Who would be so big-heart

“How did you feel when you first saw Veronica? Tell me the truth,” Uzza was questioning Akash while he was watering the plants in the backyard.“Obviously…” Akash was about to say something, but his husband-radar sensed his wife coming up from behind, so he said, “when I met her on our first date, I became pregnant.”Uzza spit out the corn kernels in her mouth out of shock. “What?”“Pregnant with love, I mean,” Akash added.“Why are you exaggerating?” Veronica pulled Akash’s ear. “When we first met, I smelled his hands first. They didn’t smell like curry, so he passed my first test. And then, we talked about other things.”Akash shook his head and giggled helplessly.Seeing Akash blushing, Uzza could see that he was in love with Veronica more so than Veronica was in love with him.Veronica then climbed on Akash’s back and hugged him from behind.“What are you doing?” Akash complained. “Can’t you see that I’m working?”“Work while carrying me.

Kathy wanted to visit the mansion of the president to meet the president’s son, but she couldn’t go alone, so she took Amber with her. Samuel welcomed them, but Amber didn’t like the atmosphere and told Amber she’d go back. Kathy didn’t force her cousin and let her leave.Kathy then explored the mansion with Samuel, which shocked the maids as Samuel hadn’t done such a thing before. What if Samuel’s daughters and wife were to see what he was doing now? What if Andrew were to see?Andrew, on the other hand, was very busy. He worked with some media companies and celebrities and had them leak news on trafficking of women and children. He also had some sexual scandals released to divert some of the attention.The public thought that it was the work of the media companies at first, but as the news channels began to give credit to Andrew Sehla the president, everyone wondered if Andrew was behind this.As if living up to the people’s expectations, Andrew made some politicians and celebrities

As Veronica handled Akash roughly, punishing him for his farts, he yelled at her and told her to do the exercise herself to understand how tough it was, but then Veronica did five sit-ups and made them look so easy. She didn’t have any abs, but her abdomen looked very beautiful because of the skin folds and the type of dress she was wearing.“See? It’s so easy,” Veronica hissed at him. “Now, do just like how I did. Don’t inhale while getting up. That’s why you’re farting like a pig. Breathing is everything. Without that you won’t be able to execute any exercise with control.”“O-Okay,” Akash helped her get up. When he saw Rebecca and Benjamin at the door, he was so embarrassed he went to the other end of the gym.“You have come far, Veronica,” Rebecca was proud of her sister. She used to teach her little sister all the time, and now it felt nice to see her teach Akash how to do different exercises.“Haha,” Veronica laughed like a gorilla and looked at Benjamin, “do you want to learn f

While Benjamin and Rebecca were about to go separate ways, Elizabeth came over to them.While smiling a bit awkwardly on the surface, she asked, “Brother Benjamin, my bank card is having some issues. Can you please pay for the piano? I’ll pay you the money soon as my bank issue gets resolved.”Rebecca’s eyes slightly widened because she had seen Elizabeth trick so many people with the similar tactic. In fact, Rebecca herself had fallen prey to this move a few times long ago.“No problem,” Benjamin took out a card. It was a platinum-coated card with the symbol of ‘W’ on it, made with diamonds.“Wow, are these real diamonds?” She was shocked. “What kind of bank gives these cards? I would like to have this, too.”“It’s a secret bank known as Eternity Bank, so it won’t be easy to get you one card, but I will try,” Benjamin told her.“Thank you. You really are so kind,” Elizabeth smiled happily. “May I know the password for this?”“It doesn’t have a password.”“Oh…” Elizabeth didn’t quite

Once Benjamin walked out of the room, Rebecca met him and asked in a low voice, “What did you tell him?”“I did what I could,” Benjamin shrugged. “I’m not sure how to handle this type of a situation, but I think it’s something he has to change from the inside. No matter how much we say, he won’t change unless that spark of change comes from within.”“So, we should just create an atmosphere that will make him self-realize and then get rid of his bad habit, huh.”“That would be anything but easy, though, because we never know what works and what doesn’t.”“You are right, but we can’t just give up on him. Even though I don’t like Elizabeth, I can’t ignore her kids who grew up right before my eyes,” Rebecca replied. “I told my brother to not give them mobiles when they’re young, as they might get addicted to games, which they did… But now, they are in that age where hormones will make them want to watch new things. If we let them get out of hand, they will be ruining their careers and thei

Benjamin closed Roshan’s eyes and showed him some of his memories.When Benjamin went to door-deliver pizza, a man was kicking his wife out for cheating on her. He married her even though she was a single mom, but just four months after their marriage, he found her cheating on him.There was another instant where Benjamin found the same girl on the same day in two different places, sleeping with two different guys, and she even asked Benjamin to fuck her on the stairs between the floors. She seduced him, but Benjamin scuttled away from her.After showing a series of troubles he came across on his job, he then showed the challenges he experienced every evening when Rebecca came to pick him up in her Porsche.Even though Benjamin was her husband, he would try to court his own wife by giving her flowers, or sweets, or a special pizza he personally made. He would praise her, saying he had never seen her use the rear-view mirror for applying lipstick like he had seen many other women do it

George saw Rebecca alone, waiting outside Roshan’s room. He used this opportunity to come up to her.“What are you doing here, Rebecca? Did Roshan cause some trouble again?” George was folding his sleeves. “Let me teach him a lesson.”“Stop!” Rebecca hit his shin bone with her foot. Because of her footwear, he cringed in pain. “Why do you assume things? I’m standing here just because I want to. Nothing else.”“You expect me to believe that?” George harrumphed. “You are such a bad liar. The day you brought some random guy into the house and said you loved him and married him, everyone else might have believed your words but I didn’t. There’s no way someone like you who’s so capable can fall in love, much less marry a pizza-delivery guy. Compared to him, I’m so much better!”“You are wrong, George,” Rebecca calmly and confidently replied. “Benjamin…” she lightly smacked her own head. “Ahem, I mean, Benyamin is a billion times better than you. He doesn’t bend his spine for money like you

Rebecca knocked on a door.“Who is it?” Roshan asked from the inside, a hint of anxiety in his voice.“It’s me,” Rebecca replied. “Open the door. I’ll just have a quick few words with you, that’s all.”“A-Aunt, I don’t want to talk to you right now,” Roshan replied. “Please go.”“I’ll talk with him,” Benjamin told her in a low voice. Rebecca then walked away and stopped at a certain distance.A minute later, Benjamin knocked on the door.“Hey, I’m Benjamin,” he said. “Can I talk to you?”“No, I’m busy right now,” Roshan answered.“It’ll only take a minute,” Benjamin persisted. “I won’t bother you afterward.”“Tsk,” Roshan, annoyed, walked over to the door.Benjamin knocked on the door again.Roshan quickly opened the door with a hostile look. “What?”Benjamin smiled and stepped closer and put his arm around Roshans’s shoulder. He then shut the door from behind him and even locked it without looking back.“W-What are you doing?” Roshan nervously asked.Even Rebecca, who was outside, co

Veronica just finished bathing and was putting on one of those sexy outfits designed by her sister in the past. It revealed the entire midsection of the body, but hid everything else.Though Akash found it sexy, he said, “You really are not wearing that in the home, right?”“What’s wrong if I wear it?” Veronica retorted. “This isn’t even that revealing.”“Look at yourself in the mirror. It feels like I might catch a glimpse of your underboob if you were to raise your arms,” Akash said.Veronica squinted her eyes. “I’m wearing a bra underneath, you idiot. You know nothing about fashion. I’ve been bearing with your stupidity for a while now, but if I can’t even wear this type of clothing, then you should consider going back home and complaining to your parents about it! Because you need to really grow up!” After blurting out her anger through her words, she snorted and left the room.Standing by the balcony, she watched her father talking to guests downstairs.“This is meat tea, which D
