Jacob had gone out for an early walk in the morning. He would usually walk in the garden whenever he had free time, but this time, he decided to hit the streets.The people in the neighborhood who would die to talk with him in the past were now looking at him with either pitiful or mocking expressions that weren’t so obvious. He couldn’t even make eye contact with them for long. Keeping his head straight, he kept walking.“When I had money, everyone treated me like I was their big brother, but now, they don’t even want to talk to me. Even my own family members began treating me differently.” He felt some trouble breathing. “This is the bitter truth of reality.”An old man approached him, while walking his dog. “Mr. Jacob, since when are you coming outside for a walk?”“Just started it today, Mr. Wesley,” replied Jacob, with a bit of a happy tone, glad that someone was willing to talk with him. Wesley owned food-processing facilities and was a millionaire.“Oh, change is good for menta
It was breakfast time.Everyone except Selena was there.Roshan looked dull because his girlfriend, the one he had a crush on for two years, did not take him seriously and tricked him into believing that she liked him. Naturally, he was so devastated he cried for more than an hour in the bathroom. It was only after his sister got worried for him and demanded that he come outside, he came out and cried some more.At the moment, Lisa could see that Roshan was barely touching the food. She pitied her little brother. (I had no idea he loved her so much. Now, the poor guy will probably never trust any girl that comes near him again. If I knew he would be so sensitive about this issue to the point of losing sleep and appetite, I wouldn’t have been so direct, at least. I should try buying him some physical copies of his favorite games.)Elizabeth kept praising her mother, hoping to attract Ryan’s attention. Shawn was lost in his own thoughts. Louis and Bella didn’t seem to like the fact that
Rebecca wasn’t crestfallen, but she definitely was disenchanted by Benjamin, given how he had left her at the dining table. The disappointment when something didn’t go as she had hoped wasn’t new to her, but it still tasted sour.She went to her room, packed the necessary things in her purse, and was coming out.Delle was at the door. “Ma’am, can you give your car keys? Your father is asking for it.”“My dad?” Rebecca was quite surprised. Jacob had never asked for her car before, so she couldn’t understand why he was asking for it now. (Does he not want to go out in his own car, afraid that the money lenders will come after him?) Whatever the reason was, she didn’t mind giving him the car, so she gave the keys to Delle. “Bring me the keys at night.”“Yes, ma’am. Thank you,” Delle politely bowed and left.Rebecca had to come back to her bed and grab another set of car keys that were of a Land Rover. “I didn’t think I would be using the second car so soon.” It was many levels below her
Benjamin’s lips firmly pressed forth, and Rebecca ended up moaning in pleasure as he sealed his love on her.The jaws of the onlooking adult monkeys dropped as far as they could, though the innocent infant monkeys showed no reaction.Benjamin gently took his mouth off her neck, and Rebecca was still shivering. A pink bruise slowly emerged on her neck, and she was feeling hot all of a sudden. She just didn’t know how to react. Many different emotions rushed and rampaged through her blood, and she was at a loss for words.“Be careful, and good luck at work,” Benjamin gently caught her face by the jaws and planted a kiss on her forehead. It was a three second long kiss, and it had a calming effect on her. Her blood began to cool down, though only slightly. He waved goodbye and turned around.Rebecca raised her hand halfway, wanting to grab his shirt, but he was already out of her reach. As he entered through the gate, the monkeys screeched and jumped about on their four limbs, rather exc
Against her will, Veronica left work to Akash and went with her mother. Akash had no clue what the mother and the daughter had talked about, but he was happy that Selena had come at the right time to save him.Selena went to the room allotted for the maids, and she privately spoke with Kathy there. She asked Kathy about Benyamin. How he looked, behaved, and whatnot. Kathy even showed the pictures she had taken secretly.“Madam, I think Benyamin is easily influenced compared to Benjamin,” Kathy said, keeping her voice low. “Young Mistress Veronica is good-looking. I’m sure most men would get hard from watching a bit of her skin, so if Benyamin were to see her in a towel, he might spin like a top and fall on her. And then… what must happen will happen!”“Let’s hope what you said will come true,” Selena patted Kathy’s shoulder. “Do well, and I’ll take care of you and your family for the rest of your life.”“Just leave it to me, ma’am,” Kathy confidently said, giving a thumbs-up. If Ryan
With a white scarf covering the neck, Rebecca went to her lawyer Sheila who wasn’t taking any clients right now, but after hearing it was Rebecca, she told the watchman to let her in.Sheila had somewhat of a cold look on the face as Rebecca entered, and Sheila didn’t seem interested in a handshake, let alone a hug. It didn’t bother Rebecca that much because Sheila had been that way since as far as she could remember. Whether she was showing off because she was a lawyer or because she felt the need to do things like that to feel like she was equal or superior to her friend, Rebecca could only wonder, though she honestly didn’t care. Everybody had their ugly side, after all.“What brought you here, Rebecca?” Sheila asked, her voice laced with impatience. “The company itself is gone, so there’s nothing we can do. I can’t return the money you gave me, either. You should already know that.”“I’m not here for the money, but for filing a new case,” Rebecca then explained about the incident
One vicious punch from Donovan sent Jane flying across the wide corridor. Her head smashed into the wall. She collapsed almost lifelessly.Donovan’s heart skipped a beat. He didn’t kill her with that strike, did he? He squatted and checked her pulse. It was there. He exhaled audibly.“What are you doing?” Jasmine ran out of the room and was shocked to see Jane on the floor. She was bleeding from the head. “What the hell did you do to her?” Jasmine also got chickenpox. They both were fine until last night, but then the symptoms escalated within hours.“Let’s take her to her room,” he said.“To her room? We should call an ambulance! She’s bleeding!” She took her mobile out, but he stopped her.“Don’t make things complicated,” he coldly glared at her while firmly grabbing her wrist. “I’ll call my personal doctor, and he’ll take care of her.”“Y-You’re hurting me,” her forehead folded.He waited a couple of seconds and then let go of her hand before snatching her mobile. “Help me take her
At Sterling villa. At 4 o’clock, what would be snack time, the maids were all busy preparing food, with Benjamin taking the lead. He didn’t want to do it, but Selena ordered him to do it, saying her colleagues were coming over for a meal. The reason Benjamin didn’t want to cook together with the maids was simple. He didn’t want to be anywhere close to Kathy because the other morning when he woke up, he felt her scent around him, which made him realize she probably snuck into his dorm room. Because he had taken sleeping pellets, he had no idea what happened that night, but then decided to stop taking the pills from then on. It wasn’t that he was afraid of Kathy, but he was just being cautious. He didn’t want to underestimate them and let them spoil his relationship with Rebecca. After all, the maids still worked for Selena and Jacob, so he couldn’t trust them in the least. Soon, the guests arrived. Fifteen in total. All of them were women, both young and old. Kathy knew a few of tho
“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
