The chairman of the Bell Fashions was watching blurry video footage on a desktop. The video showed his forty-floored building getting crushed to the ground at once. “How is this possible?” He had his hands on his forehead, fingers rubbing left and right. “Even bombs would take five to ten seconds to make this big of a building fall to the ground, but this footage shows the building falling in a second. Just… how? It’s like someone pummeled the whole building down instantly. It makes no fucking sense. I wish I had the insurance. Dammit!” The footage was taken by a camera from a faraway building, so the visuals weren’t clear, especially because it was dark at the time. One of the directors rushed into the room, gasping, “Chairman, the Myers family offloaded their holdings.” “Are you kidding me?” the chairman stood in shock, taking his glasses off his face. “Why didn’t Gregory call me? He’s our biggest client!” “That’s not all, sir,” the director blurted out. “Bell’s stock prices alr

“He went out on a delivery?” Rebecca pursed her lips as she talked with Sasha. “Was there a woman with her? Medium long hair, a little shorter than me, and has green eyes.”“Yes. A woman with similar features was talking with Benjamin,” Sasha replied fast. “She left after Benjamin left. Isn’t she his wife?”“NO!” Rebecca quickly denied. “I’m his wife. Tell him I came here when he returns.” Rebecca’s heartbeat picked its pace. “Hmph!” She then walked out of the hut in a hurry like a tense little rabbit.She could just wait until Benjamin returned and then tail him to see what he was doing during the day, but she didn’t want to do that. She wanted to believe in him, but at the same time, life didn’t feel so bewildering in a long while.She never thought she would have to compete with Jane over the rights for her own husband. This wasn’t something any parents could teach to a child. She had to fight this on her own, or she might lose her husband.She felt greatly discouraged.“I’ve alway

Benjamin called for an ambulance, and then Jacob was admitted to a hospital. It was only a mild sunstroke, so Benjamin didn’t find the need to accompany his father-in-law to the hospital, but he made sure to send a message to his wife.He delivered pizzas until evening and also noticed that the Wraith had been following him since morning.“She hasn't even stepped out of the car since morning, and she’s managed to somehow keep up with my speed for the most part. Is this what determination can do? Gotta admit she’s scary in a way,” Benjamin thought as he finished his work and sat upon his own Harley Davidson. “I want to teach her a lesson, but I would like it more if it’s Rebecca who does it. At any rate, it’s time to lose this stalker.”Benjamin drove fast and entered many alleys and left Jane clueless.She smashed her hand on the steering wheel and hurt herself. “Ouch. Dammit. He knows I’ve been tailing him, but he doesn’t even come to talk to me once. I was thinking of pulling him in

Many real estate tycoons were all talking about one name the past few days.“Who the heck is this Ryan? Where did he even come from?”“What’s his background? How can he buy so many properties in such a short time?”“Is the mafia behind him?”“Is it a politician? Or a rich businessman maybe?”“Whether it is the governor, or someone else… Someone must be backing him. Otherwise, how can a single man manage to buy an entire street? No one in this city owns an entire street.”“This isn’t just a matter of pride anymore. We must bring this man down.”Be it millionaires, or multi-millionaires, they were all thinking along the same lines. They wanted Ryan gone out of the city or from the surface of the earth if possible.This issue reached all the way to Terry Praise. He was also thinking of buying a building near the Sterling villa so he could closely observe the struggles of the Sterlings and thoroughly enjoy watching them suffer as he pushed them deeper and deeper into poverty.“Ryan… Ryan

“B-Benjamin?” Rebecca’s eyes enlarged. She looked at her father once before hurting over to her husband. “Why are you here?” she lowered her voice. “You know my dad isn’t in good condition. What if he gets angry and acts up now?” she looked back to see what kind of expression Jacob was making, but her father was already standing right behind her. “Dad! When did you get here?”Jacob looked straight into Benjamin’s eyes. “Were you the one who admitted me into the hospital?”“I’m sure it was an ambulance,” replied Benjamin, not breaking eye-contact.Jacob paused for a second. “If it was you, then don’t expect a thank you because you already owe us a lot.”Benjamin didn’t say anything. Rebecca didn’t like what her father was saying, but she didn’t want to argue with him right now.“Keep your discussion short,” Jacob said and went to the main gate and stood there.“So?” Rebecca hurriedly asked.Benjamin tapped his finger on his lips.Rebecca’s eyes drew in more light. “Are you kidding me?”

As Benjamin slowly stepped forward, Ryan stood up and turned to face him. Both looked at each other and kept looking at each other as their eyes reflected the love for one another ever so quietly.Benjamin lowered his head and bent his knee.Rebecca was visibly surprised. She wasn’t expecting Benjamin to be this overly polite. (This guy… he really wants this job!) On one hand, she loved how he was desperately trying to be close to her, but on the other hand, she was afraid of her family hurting him.“You can stand,” Ryan sent a mental message.Benjamin stood straight and loosely put his hands behind his back. “I’ve read your advertisement and came for the butler job.”“What job experience do you have?” Ryan asked in a somewhat serious tone.“I worked as a pizza delivery guy,” Benjamin stated confidently. “I can drive fast and well.”“So you have no experience working as a butler?”Benjamin hesitantly shook his head. He didn’t want to reveal the fact that he had worked like a slave in

Hearing Ryan’s words, Benjamin’s hand stopped in the middle of chopping.“What’s with the pause?” Ryan’s brows lifted together. “If you can’t even control one small family, you are not worthy of leading our clan, except perhaps in your dreams. But I was told you loved your wife even when she hated you, so this little task of winning over a family shouldn’t be too hard. If you succeed in this small trial, I will happily leave the clan to you and go for one last world trip, knowing the clan is in good hands. What do you say? Can’t you love these words that are coming out of my mouth right now?”Benjamin’s blood was boiling, but he was controlling himself. He redirected his anger to cutting the things before him.Ryan just found it amusing, but he didn’t provoke Benjamin anymore.Rebecca entered the kitchen and was slack-jawed by seeing how fast Benjamin was chopping the onions and ginger. “Wow, slow down. You want to cut your fingers, or what?” she came up to him and said, “Want me to g

Selena had been fully focused on reading a romance novel for four hours. Even though Delle had told her Jacob returned from the hospital, she didn’t get up. Now that she had finished the book, she threw it out the window and yelled in frustration. “Fuck off, Author! How could you spoil the ending like that? How can you break the lovebirds apart?”Delle wasn’t surprised because she had seen this type of behavior before. Selena liked happy endings, so she got furious when a book ended on a sad note with no real foreshadowing.Naturally, Selena’s mood grew worse, and she didn’t even bath. She came downstairs and sat at the dining table and tapped the plates with the knife and the fork. “Why isn’t anything arranged yet? Where’s the food, Kathy? Are you fucking sleeping or what?”“Kathy is busy, trying to catch the chicken, mom,” Rebecca came out of the kitchen, with freshly cooked rabbit roast on the platter.“R-Rebecca!” Selena was just plain shocked for a good five seconds, especially a

“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
