In the Gospel Hospital.

Benjamin was sitting on a bench and holding himself back from punching things around him.

The receptionist had been watching him. Her woman’s intuition told her this was the right time to go and ease him up and gain some points in his heart. There was no one else currently in the hall, so she grabbed her purse, took her makeup kit out, quickly applied some cream and checked herself in a hand mirror. “Alright. He’s married to someone else, but if I succeed, he’ll be mine. You can do this.” She stood and walked toward him with courage.

Rebecca appeared out of nowhere and sat next to him and then looked at the receptionist who suddenly started checking out the benches and wiped the dust off of them before returning to her seat.

“What did she say?” Benjamin asked in an annoyed voice.

“Jane is sometimes crazy, but she’s not a bad woman,” Rebecca replied.

“Huh?” Benjamin couldn’t believe what Rebecca was saying. “She said I was the father to her child. You want me to

... Hi Ida. Thanks for commenting. Benjamin would love to move away, but Rebecca is always hesitating, and her mother only makes things harder for her. The story isn't prolonged lol. I started the story with 320-350K in mind, but fleshing out characters is going to make it a litte longer.

And she did fight for her husband, saying she doesnt believe Jane. Like you said she could have easily went batshit crazy, but she knows Jane is purposely pricking her brain to have sadistic fun. Had she seen Jane going physical with Benjamin, then things would have been different.

She knows Jane is probably lying, lol. She could have either argued endlessly with Jane or she could have caleed her husband and hear it from his mouth. In the case of the receptionist, Rebeccs first saw her touching Benjamin's hand, then trying to approach him, then ogling at him, so she warned.

    “Mr. Benyamin is new to the city, so he might get lost on his way back,” Selena stated. “So give him company. Besides, we’re here to take care of the injured. There’s nothing you can do here.”Selena wasn’t wrong, so Rebecca ended up nodding. “Fine, but I didn’t bring a car. I don’t think Mr. Benyamin brought his car, either, since we both came in a Land Rover, which Benjamin probably took.”“Why did you let him take your car?” Elizabeth fumed at Benjamin.“Well, he was going to a friend’s marriage.”“Oh, so he’s going to show off with your Porsche.”“It’s a Land Rover, actually. Your son took my Porsche and didn’t return it yet.”“U-Uh, still, a Land Rover is a big deal for trash like Benjamin,” Elizabeth snorted, trying to divert the topic from her son. “I’m sure he’ll keep bragging about this car throughout the time he spends at his friend’s wedding party.”Rebecca stayed silent. She didn’t want to tell Elizabeth that Benjamin bought the car for her as she was afraid of Elizabeth,

    When the red-haired woman pulled her hair over her ear, Steve as well as Jane felt their hearts skipping. She briefly glanced in their direction, and her striking eyes set Steve’s soul on fire. As if magic had captured his heart, he couldn’t look away even though he wanted to. Jane felt the same way. As if bound by some supernatural force, she found herself drooling at the red-haired woman’s beauty.When the red-haired woman shifted her focus back to Benjamin, they breathed better, though Jane’s heart still ached for Rebecca.“Whew…” Steve found himself sweating. “This must be what they call exotic beauty. She looks like she’s from another world.”“What?” Jane squinted her eyes. “You mean she’s better-looking than I am?”Steve’s shoulders jerked. “O-Of course not. You’re ten times prettier than her.” Just then, he noticed the drool on her face. “Wait, why are you drooling?”“W-What?” Jane quickly wiped her mouth. “I was drooling because of the sandwich, you idiot!” she threw a mild pu

    Rebecca took the shortest route to the Bergh restaurant, a place which she hadn’t even visited once before. Or maybe she did, but she didn’t remember.Either way, she couldn’t sit still as she drove her mother’s silver Audi S6. Selena bought the car the day after Jacob auctioned the villa, probably to piss him off. If not, to at least irritate him by reminding how she could buy whatever she wanted because she still had hundreds of millions sitting in her bank account.Even though Jacob and Shawn told Selena numerous times to invest her money somewhere else, Selena was too cautious of a woman to believe private companies. She was happy with earning fixed deposit interests or through bonds bought in reliable banks.Rebecca was driving in this car for the first time, but she wasn’t in the mood to enjoy this luxurious car.Her whole concentration was on what might be happening at the Bergh restaurant, so much so she even forgot to concentrate on the road ahead of her. She subconsciously d

    Benjamin skated through the city streets and was having fun, but his thoughts were still on what he should name the company he wanted to start with Rebecca. “I think R&B would be good. I’ll ask her opinion first.”As he was passing by a school, he saw a familiar person. The old guard at the main gate was picking up a cigarette off the ground. “Damn these kids. I told a few of them to not smoke inside the school, so they’re leaving cigarette butts right where I sit.” He shook his head and was about to sit back in the shade, but Benjamin swiftly came to a stop before him. He recognized Benjamin.“Devon… what are you doing here?” Benjamin asked. “I made a fixed deposit for you, and even gave your son some money. So why are you here, working as a watchman?”Devon, the old butler who had worked in the Sterling villa for decades, lowered his head in shame. “They took the money from me, Benjamin, and kicked me out.”Benjamin had already expected it, but still, hearing it from Devon’s mouth

    Steve hoped Donovan didn’t leave the apartment yet, even though he had warned both Donovan and Jasmine to leave within 24 hours. However, when he went to their room, it was still locked from the inside. He kicked the door open. He and Jane then entered the room together. Both Donovan and Jasmine were having sex in the bedroom, even though they were sick with chickenpox.While Jane felt disgusted by it, Steve grabbed the broom and started beating the crap out of Donovan, not even giving him any time to talk. Donovan caught the broomstick at one point and tried to gain the upperhand, but then Steve took his gun out.“You’re not gonna shoot me,” Donovan confidently said, swinging the broom at Steve, but the bullet hit Donovan’s arm first.Jasmine started screaming, still in bed and having covered her nakedness with the blanket and pillow.Donovan jumped on both feet and cringed in pain. Steve put the gun away and implemented his shadow-boxing routine on Donovan until he went down on the

    Rebecca was in the shower, cooling her head for the past fifteen minutes. She was thinking about her mother.“She lies, tricks, and does cynical stuff at times, but she still cares for the family.” Rebecca thought. “She’s close-fisted, but when it matters, she spends money without worrying.”She remembered how Selena paid for the hospital bills and also hired bodyguards and nurses and even began overseeing the meal preparation when Selena generally didn’t like stepping into the kitchen because of the smells. Selena also believed that someone like her shouldn’t cook in the kitchen, and so Rebecca also didn’t learn cooking until recently.“She’s much more selfish than me, but there’s still a sense of warped love hidden behind her actions,” Rebecca murmured to herself. “Of course, I’m not the one who’s supposed to forgive her for what she keeps doing to Benjamin, but I can, maybe, forgive her for keeping all my money with her.”Since Selena was taking responsibility for her family when n

    In Selena’s room.Selena had just come to her room, and she was trying to get some sleep before dinner-time, but she was struggling because her nose wasn’t healed yet, and she was finding it hard to breathe, especially when lying down on the bed. Whenever she didn’t get sleep, she would generally read a book until she slipped into asleep, but tonight, she was just talking to herself.“The nose surgery will be perfect, I’m sure, and it’ll look more beautiful than before,” Selena briefly remembered how she was born with a slightly upturned nose, and her childhood friends used to call her Pug all the time, even though she was the class representative. They used to poke her with the pencils from back benches, steal her items, and mistreat her a lot in many different ways. One day, she fought with the entire class during recess, and she ended up smashing a girl’s face into the window and breaking her nose. Her friend later got their nose repaired, and that made Selena want to change the wa

    Selena was sleeping, and someone patted her hard and fast. Multiple times. She woke up in startlement, only to see her daughter and her son-in-law standing behind her, wearing hard faces. “Rebecca?”“Why did you kill him?” Rebecca straightforwardly asked.“Kill whom?” Selena asked back just as fast.“Devon. Why did you get him beaten to death?” Rebecca demanded an answer right in front of Benjamin, which Selena didn’t like and made her face scrunch.“Nonsense. Devon left his job long ago,” Selena stated confidently. “It’s been a while since I last saw him.”Rebecca took Benjamin’s mobile and showed her mom the camera recording from the villa’s footage. It showed Devon getting beat up by the bodyguards.Selena frowned, but she quickly said, “I can’t even see his face clearly, but even if it’s Devon, and he got beaten to death by the bodyguards, why are you upset about it? He’s just a useless old guy who has become a slave to his habits.”Rebecca ground her teeth. She wanted to throw th

    Selena had been busy talking with many businessmen from all across the country. The people from the film industry also came to the Sterling villa with bouquets and gifts.Some gifted her luxury cars, while some others wanted her to act in their films, so they were showing their call sheets and asking for her movie dates.They were willing to pay her as much as twenty to fifty million dollars per movie.Selena, however, didn’t reckless sign on every movie she got. Out of the dozens of stories that came to her, she only picked two so far.And she was quite happy with her current situation.To show her gratitude to Uzza, she came to her and gave a key to Uzza who was in the kitchen with Delle.“What’s this?” Uzza asked.“One of the movie producers gifted a private jet as advance payment for agreeing to do his movie,” Selena replied.Delle’s eyes enlarged very much. “A-A private jet? How much does that cost, ma’am?”“32 million dollars,” Selena casually replied. “This is just the start. I

    “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 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.

    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
