If there ever was a classic experience of imagining one thing but seeing another thing, it happened when Benjamin quickly brought his foot and hit his mother-in-law’s ankle. She was a fit woman, and he expected her to withstand it without falling. However, she tumbled and fell on her face faster than a dog could pick a bone off the floor.

This shocked everyone at the table. Almost every guest stood.

Selena got back up pretty fast, but her nose kept pouring blood out. A lot of it. It wasn’t stopping, like a broken sink, and most of the guests cried out in fear and worry.

Benjamin quickly reacted by placing a napkin at her nose. It was a dirty napkin used to carry hot dishes, but Selena didn’t even observe or care about that right now. Seeing a lot of her blood coming from her nose, she was just stunned.

“It’s going to be okay,” Benjamin assured. “Just breathe slowly through the mouth. Keep it open slightly.”

Selena briefly listened to him and did exactly what he asked her to do, but th

    Benjamin followed Amber and entered what he believed was a tiger’s den at the moment.With an open book in hand, Selena was shooting daggers at him while summoning all her strength to control herself from jumping at him and scratching until he bled. Keeping one of her favorite books open when she was extremely angry was her way of stopping herself from breaking things and physically hurting people around her.The dedication this woman was showing in her hatred toward Benjamin even after nose-bleeding astonished Benjamin. He thought she would sleep and recover, but no, he was completely wrong in his estimations. Not only did this woman call Rebecca to come home immediately, but she also planned something else, which was why she made Amber bring him to her room.However, seconds passed, and Selena didn’t speak a word.It was after she received a text message from Delle, who was at the balcony, that Rebecca arrived, Selena began to bear the pain in her nose and tried to speak.“I called

    “Your husband! You know what he did? He knew my colleagues were coming for lunch and mixed salt in the carrot milk pudding,” Selena yelled, even at the cost of making the pain in her nose spike. “They spat the dessert out of their mouths. I lost my face in front of my friends! All thanks to that statue standing before you!”Rebecca’s eyes enlarged upon hearing her mother’s words. She turned her head toward her husband who looked almost just as shocked as her. “Why did you—”“I didn’t do it,” Benjamin was quick to deny this time.“Of course, you would say that,” Selena growled. “Why would you accept doing something so evil? You want to keep acting like you’re the prince charming in front of my daughter, after all. You’re too obvious.”Rebecca kept staring at Benjamin without blinking. “You didn’t do it?”“I really didn’t do it, I swear,” Benjamin put weight into his voice. “Why would I mix salt in the dessert I spent so much effort to make? Does that make any sense?”“Then what about t

    “Today hasn’t been easy for me,” Rebecca squeezed the back of her neck a couple of times. “I walked a lot, and my legs are hurting. Can you… massage my legs a little bit?” she tried asking as casually as she could, even though her heart was beating slightly faster than usual.“No. I won’t massage anyone more,” Benjamin quickly refused, but then he blinked twice and raised his voice. “Wait, did you ask me to massage YOU?”“Yeah,” she twirled her finger through her hair. “Can you do it or not?”"O-Of course, I can," Benjamin’s heart blossomed into a flower garden. “But... this isn’t a dream, right?”She shook her head and pinched his cheek.“This definitely isn’t a dream,” he grinned and picked her into his arms, startling her, but then he gently put her down on the bed. “I will do your bidding, but you should trust me when I say I didn’t mix salt in the carrot pudding. I would never do that. I’m not that small-minded.”Rebecca didn't say anything.“You still don’t believe me, huh. What

    “Should I reveal the secret now?”When Benjamin asked Rebecca that question and blew his breath on her face, she felt her body melting. Some part of her really wanted to say yes, but then the situation in their family wasn’t good, and also the door wasn’t locked!Though she was a fashion designer, she didn’t like revealing too much of anything. She didn’t attend shows where even the private parts were revealed. Some thought she was just arrogant and was letting fame get to her head, but she liked to keep some things secretive, and she was also the same when it came to her romantic life. She didn’t want to kiss in front of others if possible. So the fact that the door was open really bothered her.She looked away and mumbled. “T-The door…”“Door? Ah, you must be talking about the door that leads to your heart. I think I’ll open it soon.”“I’m talking about our room’s door,” she pinched his cheek. “Silly.”“Our room’s door?” Benjamin’s expression changed. Now he understood the meaning b

    Selena’s POV:In the middle of the night. An annoying owl had been hooting outside for a while now.Everyone in the villa was sleeping, except the one and only me, the upfront woman who got her nose broken by her own son-in-law. Staying up for this long and doing nothing… this probably didn’t happen in a long time. When was the last time I stayed awake like this? Yeah, when I found the guy I loved so much was just a liar with a fake identity. His whole goal was to trap me and keep me enslaved to sex, but I found out his true identity. It turned out he was sent by the mafia, who wanted to control me through him, because I was a rising star back then. If I hadn’t known that fact, I would have married him and probably wouldn’t have known to this day that he never loved me. Just thinking about it still gives me goosebumps.It was Jacob who made the mafia back away and not interfere with my life. I ended up marrying him, and it has been sort of a roller coaster ride ever since. Still not

    Benjamin slept in Rebecca’s room last night, on the same bed. He slept very peacefully, but his snoring gave her quite some trouble. She was once again reminded of the days when he used to live in her room, but back then, there were at least two different beds, but now, he was sleeping right next to her.Even covering herself with a pillow didn’t help her much. After a lot of struggling, she got an idea and shoved some part of the bedsheet in Benjamin’s mouth. That did the trick, and then Rebecca was able to slip into sleep.Despite sleeping late, Rebecca woke up at around six. Perhaps, it was because she walked a lot the previous day, her legs felt somewhat sour, even after Benjamin massaged them. Her stomach also made noises, but after seeing Benjamin still sleeping, she was shocked.“Hey, get up!” she pushed him left and right without hesitation. “If you are here, who’s going to make the breakfast?”“The maids will take care of it,” he mumbled. “Don’t worry.”“Oh, so you told them

    “Your nose looks a lot better now, Mother-in-law,” Benjamin remarked, and Selena snapped. She threw the bowl in Benjamin’s face. It hit him right in the face, leaving everyone at the table in shock. Benyamin got so angry he was about to stand from his seat, but the finger movement from Ryan made him swallow his rage. Still, his neurons were on flames. Throwing food in his lord’s face was something he couldn’t bear to watch. “Mom!” Rebecca stood and glared at her mother. “Apologize to Benjamin. Right now!” “Are you out of your mind, Rebecca?” Selena didn’t back down. “He’s the one that should be apologizing! Not me! Didn’t you hear him mock me just now?” “I wasn’t mocking,” Benjamin wiped the oatmeal from his face. “I just said that your nose looks better than it did yesterday when you suffered an injury.” “Stop twisting your words to make yourself sound nice, you shitty brat,” Selena howled, even though her nose was hurting everytime she raised her voice. “If you’ve read ten leave

    After Dewar shot Shawn, Andrew buttoned his suit. “It’s morning, but well, I should at least attend the poker games now. Can’t wait to play with the infamous SFF Charles. I heard that he became a billionaire in under a year? He’s definitely worth crushing, huhu.”At the same time, Shawn crashed into the waters, feeling completely hopeless, with pain greater than what the bullets had given him squeezing the pits of his belly as he swam toward his son’s direction, his broken knees trying to straighten up so he could reach his son as fast he could.He hadn’t even taken a deep breath before falling into the waters as the bullets had stricken his back. Still, even though he felt powerless, he didn’t give up on his son. He managed to reach Roshan and hugged him before swimming as efficiently as he could with his wounded, bleeding knees.Tears leaked out of Shawn’s eyes, as with every inch he swam up toward the surface, he was getting more and more distant to his father who kept sinking deep

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 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

    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
