Rebecca hid away her emotions as she saw George coming up to her.“Rebecca, what are you doing here alone?” George plopped himself next to her. “You don’t mind if I sit here, do you?” he asked her after he had already sat beside her, which she naturally disliked.She was getting up.“Wait,” he grabbed her hand, startling her. A glare from her made him let go of her.“I wanted to share chips and water, that’s all,” George asserted, reaching for her hand once again. “Come on.”Rebecca moved a step away. “I saw you flirting with Delle at the shopping mall. And you were using my brother’s card, too. You thought I wasn’t noticing all that?” her words shook his heart. “If you aren’t going to tell everything to Elizabeth, my mom, and my dad by tomorrow morning, I’ll tell them myself.”George’s face turned pale. “W-Why can’t I be with Delle when you can be Benjamin who’s a lot worse than Delle?”“What did you say?” Rebecca immediately slapped him.George got so angry his chest was moving, but
Jacob was a big man. His attacks packed a pretty punch, but the Kimmy Brothers also had big frames. They assaulted Jacob together by dealing a few quick punches, then lifted him up by his shoulders and smashed him down on the bed.If not for the memory foam and metal coils in the mattress cushioning the fall, Jacob would have gotten injured, and even the bed might have broken.“Dad!” Veronica yelled in worry, but seeing her father touch his neck and cry in pain, she was enraged. She jumped at Elder Kimmy, but he easily grabbed her arms. She kicked him in the nuts, making him wince in pain.“You bitch!” Younger Kimmy slapped Veronica so hard so his face turned a thousand times uglier.“You bastards!” Selena screamed. “Get out of here!”However, the Younger Kimmy snickered. She found her suffering amusing. “Hehe, give us the money. That’s all we’ve been asking.”Just then, Rebecca managed to push her way through the guys blocking the way to that room because she had a gun in her hand. S
After dinner, Selena and Rebecca went to their rooms. Veronica joined Akash in preparing the upcoming event. All the hired workers were quite busy, doing the final decorations.“It’s a big day for us tomorrow,” Akash’s voice was full of hope. “If this clicks, we’ll become popular event managers soon.”“Of course, it’s going to click,” Veronica assured him. “I wasn’t sure, but you worked well.” She lightly kissed him on the cheek, surprising him.Akasha blushed, immediately. “What was that for?”“You deserved that,” she casually said. “Don’t think too much about it.”He rubbed his cheek. “It’s easy for you to say,” he mumbled. Getting kissed by her felt both good and weird. He wanted to shift his focus from it, so he said, “Events this big take place either for business, political, or social reasons. This one’s clearly not a social gathering, so either business or political deals are going to take place tomorrow. If everyone’s happy with the deals, our hard work will get noticed as wel
The next morning.Jacob was talking to Ryan about giving some of the money he still had to give as part of the agreement after buying the villa. Almost 200 million was yet to be paid, but Ryan said he would talk about it after the party, and he also asked Jacob how the arrangements were going.Selena was eavesdropping on their conversation from outside the room. “Tch, we should get our money from him as fast as possible,” she was biting her lips in tension as she walked away. Selena soon came to the dining table for breakfast, and she could hear Elizabeth mumbling to her mother, “Why did she give the money to them? She could have just waited, and they would have gotten tired and eventually left.”“You wouldn’t be saying that if they had shown up nude to your room,” Selena retorted straight away before even sitting down, “or harassed your daughter.”That shut Elizabeth’s mouth. Lisa and George were also there at the table, but they didn’t say anything. George was focused on slurping th
On the front porch of the villa.“I didn’t love you, you fool. I only wanted sex,” as the sun was rising, Veronica was yelling at Akash, not at all caring that many workers were overhearing their conversation.“I don’t buy it,” Akash harrumphed. “If you didn’t love me, you wouldn’t send your brother to beat me up. You did that because you got hurt, and you got hurt because you loved me. Just accept it.”“Hmph, you’re overestimating yourself.”“No, I’m not.”“Yes, you are.”“No, I’m—” before Akash could finish his sentence, she punched him in the face.“If I loved you, would I be able to punch you?” Veronica asked what she thought was a valid question.“I said you USED to love me,” he massaged his nose with his palm. “Clearly, you don’t love me anymore, not that I expected anything else.”A police vehicle stopped nearby, and an old police officer stepped out of the vehicle, wearing a proud look on his face. He looked around, asked a nearby guy for details, and then eventually came to V
The fact that Benyamin had sent an envelope to Rebecca was soon known by almost every member of the sterling family, thanks to Lisa being hyper-active.Selena was so thrilled from hearing the news she kissed Lisa. Elizabeth and Dorothy felt relieved that even though Dorothy couldn’t attract Ryan, at least Rebecca was able to steal his son’s heart.“It’s probably a love confession,” Elizabeth discussed with her mother. “Do you think Rebecca will accept?”Dorothy looked at her daughter like she was looking at a fool. “If I were Rebecca, and my husband is gone for two days, and his mobile is also switched off… I’d think he’s definitely having an affair and is too far gone in his head. You see, communication and trust are very important in any relationship. Currently, their relationship is severely lacking in terms of communication, so of course, the trust will also be weakened. I thought Benjamin was at least more hardworking than my son, but he’s turned out to be a fool. Otherwise, why
The sterling villa was popular in the city for many reasons. A famous producer, a legendary actress, and a phenomenal fashion designer lived in this place. But its name spread throughout the world in the past few days because of the party Ryan was hosting.While every country didn’t explicitly talk about it in the news or in political circles, it sure was the main topic discussed in the shadowy organizations that had been secretly ruling their countries.These were the real powerful people that not only controlled the politicians and rich businessmen but also manipulated the minds of the population to swing the way they wanted through schooling, media, and almost all possible mediums.Their ancestors were the ones who wrote history taught in schools. They dictated the flow of the world economy through artificial conflicts, wars, disease outbreaks, and many more.They were called the Ten Dragons, and they belonged to ten different countries. All of them together spearheaded the organiz
The whole of Rachel Hill was celebrating the occasion as sweets, pizzas, clothes, gift cards, and many other things were sent to every home as gifts. Everybody living there was renting the place, so they felt extremely happy when they received valuable gifts from the one who owned the hill.At the sterling villa, where almost every inch of the building was decorated with sparkling lights, Ryan was standing on the balcony, eating roasted nuts.“The guests started coming, Great Master,” Benyamin was standing a few feet beside him and sent him a mental message. “I still don’t understand why you arranged for such a huge party, calling guests from all around the world. Are we… going to reveal our identity to the world?”“Don’t think too much and stress yourself out, Benyamin,” Ryan shared some nuts with him. “If things work out for you, you’ll gain Rebecca.”“S-Stop joking, Great Master. It’s not even funny,” Benyamin lowered his head in guilt. Just then, Elizabeth and Dorothy entered the
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 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
