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
“I’m so glad you recovered so fast from my father-in-law’s beatings,” Kismet purposely rubbed salt in Jacob’s wounds. He couldn’t help but angrily smile and said, “Please head inside.” Naida and Veronica briefly looked at each other. Naida was two years older than Veronica, so she naturally looked down on Veronica. “What a slutty dress. But I guess I shouldn’t have expected anything modest from the sterling family.” Veronica swallowed her anger for her father who kept looking at her, telling her to control herself. Akash handed the Sehla family a brown leather bag. “What’s this? A gift?” Sehla asked and received a nod. Katherine excitedly pulled the bag from her father. Kismet was busy observing the arrangements made for the party. Buffet, musicians, real instead of artificial plant decorations, carpet made of dark red flowers, animal dolls sitting up in the trees, mini fountains where wine and alcohol was served, and much more wonderful arrangements was up for view. Because the
While Rebecca seemed shocked at the new revelation that Ryan and his son Benyamin might be following her for months, Kismet was cursing George after seeing Rebecca still alive and looking as pretty as ever in a blend of ethnic wear that set her apart from other women.Kismet’s daughter, Naida, couldn’t take her eyes off Rebecca. Unlike Veronica who revealed most of her skin, Rebecca revealed only her diaphragm. Rebecca’s long see-through scarf sparkled under the lights and added to her beauty. Even though Naida’s scarlet outfit was fashionable, she felt inferior.“Where the hell is George? This useless bastard…” Kismet was so frustrated she would have shot George in the head if he was standing right before her.At the same time, inside the villa.George was inside a bathroom, making all kinds of noises with his butt more than he had ever made in his life with his mouth. He felt like his life was being drained down his ass. His stomach kept roaring, and his intestines kept swirling, ma
“You’re taking too long, Jane,” Steve complained while watching television in Jane’s apartment.“Just one more minute,” Jane replied. She was giving last touches to her eyelashes.“I don’t get it. I’m the one you’re supposed to look good in front of, right? Do you prepare for hours every time before meeting me as well?” he couldn’t help but ask.“You wouldn’t want to know.”“That means a no,” Steve sulked a bit. “By the way, when are your parents returning?”“When I told them about the party, they wanted to return as soon as possible, but they missed the flight because they were buying a suit for you.”“For me?” Steve snorted. “I won't buy it for a second.” He wasn’t particularly treated well by them, after all. He looked at Jane’s grandmother who was sitting right next to him and was also watching the television, but she glanced at him and saw that his foot was resting on the glass table. She immediately struck his foot with her walking stick. “Aw! What was that for?”Just then Jane
Jeff Druze, one the most charismatic presidents of all time, got out of the black hummer, and not just Jane and Steve, but even Jacob was also dumbstruck. When Jeff walked in with swag and shook Jacob’s hand with a charming smile, Jacob was bereft of speech. He didn’t know what he was saying. Time passed fast. Before he realized, Jeff had patted his shoulder and walked past him.When Akash and Veronica saw Jeff, their eyes bulged as much as a chameleon’s could. Jeff just waved at them as he went past them. Akash’s mouth was fully open, and he totally forgot about giving the gift bag to him.“I-Is that who I think it is?” Akash kept looking at Jeff.“Y-Yeah,” Veronica couldn’t find the words. She felt starstruck, which was a rare feeling for her as she grew up meeting many famous movie stars all the time.As Jeff entered the party grounds, everyone kept looking at him in disbelief. Was this really the president of the country? They weren’t sure. It could be an imposter, some thought, a
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
