Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 159
Jacob might be old, but he was a tall and bulky man who could easily intimidate the common man with his appearance alone.Such a man now rushed at his son-in-law, with fury flashing in his eyes. “I will break your nose and teeth and get your signature and thumb print this time so you can never show your face to her ever again.”“You sound like a caring father,” Benjamin said, still sitting in the chair.“That's’ because I AM,” Jacob threw a swift punch, as fast as his old bones and muscles allowed him. Benjamin intentionally turned his head so Jacob’s fist connected his jaw. BAM! A loud noise erupted. “This is the least I can do for my daughter.” He went for an upper cut this time. He connected again.Benjamin’s whole body lifted and flipped in the air, shocking even Jacob because he didn’t think he was that strong. However, the next second, Benjamin landed on his feet, looking completely fine. That was when he realized that it wasn’t his punch that did the flipping job. And he didn’t

In that fraction of a second when Nolan fell from the second-floor’s balcony, his whole life didn’t play in his mind, but what played was the thought that his own flesh and blood, his own son, would try to kill him. He never even imagined that in his wildest dreams.His body crashed on the ground in a big thud, startling the dogs that were in the cages meters away from where he fell. The dogs barked, but he wasn’t moving anymore.George was still watching from the balcony with a sad expression. “Sorry, dad, but I still have half a life ahead of me. I will put the money to a better use, so… rest in peace.” He turned and walked back into the living room.He noticed that Vlad and Mercie were busy with the playstation on the first floor. Lisa and Mercie, on the other hand, were reading books as ordered by Selena who had told them they needed to finish reading at least 12 books in one week if they wished to buy mobiles.“Mother-in-law surely knows how to manipulate kids,” George thought. “

“Why don’t you come with me?”It felt like a line from one of the romantic books she read. She wasn’t in a good mood for many reasons, but his loving stare stirred the passion hiding deep in her heart. She didn’t know what it was, but something felt different whenever he was around her.Would this feeling stay forever even when she would grow old, weak, and unattractive? Would he still make her feel special after forty years down the line?She didn’t believe in love at first sight. To her, love was a beautiful feeling cultivated between two people and would grow over time. From tickling and teasing one another to wiping each other’s tears and forgiving and forgetting each other’s mistakes, love was a romance without an end.Benjamin’s love surely grew on her, much more so than she ever thought it would. But what if he would also one day break her heart like everyone else did? Would she be able to bear it?All these crazy thoughts didn’t make it any easier to answer his simple, straigh

The horrific accident near the main gate of the Sterling villa resulted in the driver’s death and left the others injured.The injured were currently undergoing treatment in the Sterling villa itself, cared for by a section of the nursing staff that had come to take care of Nolan.Dorothy asked Jacob to pay off the families of the dead and the injured, but Jacob refused, and so George had to run away, even though he claimed that it was the ambulance driver who came speeding.As the doctor was leaving after treating Nolan, Dorothy asked, “Is he going to be fine? When will he wake up?”“He will wake up soon, but his bones are broken. Considering his age, he will have a hard time to fully recover. Still, we’ll recommend a diet plan. Just stick to it.” The doctor spat some words like it was the formal thing to do. Dorothy didn’t like him at all as she didn’t see any concern in his eyes or voice.Not just the doctor but no one else in the villa showed real concern in her eyes, except her d

“Jane, is it really you?” Steve couldn’t believe what he was hearing through the phone. She just called the police station to talk to him, after all. “Yeah. Can’t you recognize my voice?” “I-I’ve never heard your voice over the phone, so it’s hard to believe that it’s you.” “You have five freaking moles on your left ass cheek. Is that enough? Or should I give you more details?” “ENOUGH! That’s plenty enough!” Steve coughed on purpose because he was in the police station. “I’m coming right away.” “Good. I’ll be waiting.” Jane hung up. Steve put his hat on. “Are you going somewhere?” his partner asked him. “Yeah. A lady is in danger,” Steve replied. “Let me also come along then,” his partner got up from his seat. “No. I’ll handle this alone,” Steve put him back on his seat and rushed out of the station, almost dancing like a little chick that just found its wings. He was so happy she remembered that he had moles on his ass, even though they only had sex for one night. Steve dr

Christopher was howling at Benjamin. “One second you call me and say you’re coming, and then you show up hours later and say sorry. What do I look like, huh? Just because the chairman is favoring you and Damian after ‘that’ incident, you and Damian think you can come and go whenever you want?”“So Damian didn’t come to work today?” asked Benjamin while preparing a special pizza.“Nope. Sasha also didn’t. Why do they have to take leave days after their grandmother’s death? It makes no freaking sense.”“Cut them some slack, Mr. Manager.” Benjamin quickly finished decorating the pizza and pushed the plate toward Christopher.“Y-You made it for me?” Christopher was surprised for a second, but then quickly grabbed the plate and walked away. “Don’t think this will make me overlook your recent lack of attendance. You should work tonight and cover those lost hours, so prepare yourself.”“Sure, boss.” Benjamin was about to put the worker’s sim into his mobile, but then his phone rang. It was a

A few minutes back in time.Nolan was still yet to open his eyes. Dorothy fingerpicked his favorite melody with a guitar, but that didn’t seem to work. Once the song ended, tears overflowed as her heart spoke to him in silence.He soon opened his eyes and disrobed the gloom off his wife’s face. There were no bounds to her joy from seeing her husband come back to life from a near death situation.Nolan tried to speak, but he found it hard to move his jaw. “Where… am… I?” He didn’t seem to remember what had happened before the accident, at least not yet.“In a guest room,” she replied, wiping her tears away. “You don’t remember falling from the balcony?”“Balcony…” as seconds passed, what had happened with George flashed in his mind like the fastest poison out there and stung his soul sharper and deeper than any sword ever could. And he started crying like a baby.She thought he was crying because of the situation his body was in, but she had no idea that it was the sense of emptiness s

Benjamin came to Jane’s apartment, but she wasn’t waiting outside. “I knew it.” He wanted to leave, but then gave a call, not wanting to look bad.Jane answered it pretty quickly. “Hey, where are you?”“In front of your apartment. Come to the window, and you’ll see me.”“That’s great. I’m on my way, but keep talking… I like how your voice sounds on the phone.”“Huh, don’t be too shrewd, Jane,” Benjamin raised his voice, emphasizing his feelings. “The only reason I’m here is because you are Rebecca’s best friend.”“How cold of you to say that,” she pouted. “Did you already forget how much I helped you get closer to Rebecca’s heart?”“Hmph, didn’t you also try to kiss Rebecca’s husband’s lips?”Jane went silent. She then hung the call because she was already standing at the entrance of the apartment. She could see Benjamin, and he could also see her.She went and sat on the public bench. He came over at his own pace. She patted the bench twice, telling him to sit down.He shook his head

“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. As a man, you should be able to do this muc

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
