“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

Jane and Steve entered the villa hand in hand. Porcius was right behind them, sniffing like a swine, already drooling at the thought of enjoying all the dishes that he would soon be able to eat for free.Was there anything better in the world than a free meal? No! Absolutely not! Porcius was a master of free-meals, which was one of his deep-rooted habits that helped him increase his savings.However, when Porcius saw Veronica, he forgot about the food and kept staring at her breasts. “Oi,” even when Akash called him, his gaze didn’t shift anywhere. It was as if he was lost in the world of lustful thinking.Veronica sprayed perfume in his face, and that finally brought Porcius back into reality.“Shameless,” Akash hissed.“Ahem,” Porcius tried to smile and grab the gift bag, but Akash didn’t give him. Porcius could only keep walking.Akash looked at Veronica. “Can’t you at least wear a scarf or something?”“You’re not my boyfriend anymore, so why don’t you mind your own business?” Vero

While Jane was in awe of the grandness of the party, Steve had already begun looking for clues regarding Benjamin. He didn’t ask anyone directly about Benjamin, but he used his police brain and kept trying to obtain as much information as he could.Recognizing Steve, the two mafia-guys, Cherry and Ferry, kept avoiding him and hid themselves from his view.Steve met Sasha and asked her, “Why are you standing alone, miss?”“I’m not a miss anymore,” Sasha showed him her ring.“No, I wasn’t trying to hit on you or anything,” Steve had to explain himself. “I was just wondering why you were standing alone, that’s all.”“I came here to meet Benjamin, the son-in-law of the Sterling family, “she replied. “But he’s not here. I asked the maids, too, and they said he ran away with a maid who used to work here in the past.”“Oh…” Steve got nothing new from her, so he excused himself. As he kept roaming, he saw Porcius goring on fish meat of all kinds, while talking to the female worker who was cle

Donovan didn’t even give enough time for Jane to be shocked. He went in for a kiss and tightly locked his lips with hers, potent enough to suffocate her. Before Jane could react in any way, Rebecca swiftly kicked Donovan in the waist. It was a kick good enough to make him stop what he was doing and touch the stricken spot, slightly wincing in pain. Jane spat to the side multiple times and wiped her mouth before attacking him. “You bastard!” she launched a flurry of clawing attacks, which he easily withstood and caught both of her arms. “A fly wants to bother an ox?” He went for a kiss again. Jane, however, hit his face with her head. This time, he suffered a solid hit to the nose, and it bled. To her shock, he still didn’t let go of her. “You know, my life was going very smoothly until I met you,” Donovan was smiling angrily. “If only you never existed…” he squeezed her arms with all his strength and twisted them. She cringed in pain. Rebecca was stepping in, and so was Luther

Selena took her time to slowly sip on the wine as Kismet tried to test her patience with her crafty words. “Is it true that some financers came to your home and harassed you yesterday?” Kismet asked in a pitiful tone. “I’m so sorry that something so horrible happened to an actress like you who inspired a generation. I know you would have fought well, but how did your family take it? It must have been hard for them.” “We managed to sort it out, so no worries, dear,” Selena didn’t want to reveal any information, which was understandable. However, just then, Fabio and Remedeus entered the scene as if Kismet had kept them waiting on the side and signaled them at the right time. “Mrs. Selena,” Fabio acted as friendly as ever, “how are you doing? I hope you don’t take what happened yesterday to your heart. The other guys forced us to do it. You know my son likes your daughter very much, doesn’t he?” “I know. I know very well,” Selena replied in an icy tone, “Mr. Fabio Romano.” “Haha,” F

Rebecca, little by little, raised her hand and held Benyamin’s hand and squeezed it emotionally while her other hand touched her own chest. “I don’t know how to say this without hurting you, but I can’t accept your love, Mr Benyamin. I’m sorry.” She wasn’t crying, but her voice was heavy enough to clearly convey her feelings.Benyamin looked very much heart-broken. “Why?” His eyes were clouded by tears. He was putting up the best act of his life. “You love me, but he loved me first,” Rebecca reasoned with him. “He held my hand first, and he never let it go even when I’ve given him a thousand reasons to run away from me. Even now, his love runs through my veins. His place in my heart will never be replaced. I’m sorry. I’m not doubting your love, but… I can’t think of sharing my life with anyone other than Benjamin.”“But… didn’t he run away from you?” Benyamin asked, sounding a little desperate. “What kind of husband is he? How can you love such a man?”“I won’t believe it until I see

Rebecca felt quite irritated by her mother’s presence, so she started walking away fast.The voice in the mic sang, “Two lives; one dream. Four eyes; one sight.”These words shook Rebecca’s heavy heart, and her feet quickly came to a halt. The voice sounded strangely familiar, but the words, even more so.The voice continued in a sweet tone, “Two tongues; one voice. Four legs; one stand.”Tears sprang to Rebecca’s eyes, and her mouth twisted as her lips undulated emotionally. Holding up her long gown a little, she pressingly searched for the source of the voice.“Two stomachs; one meal. Four claws; one foe.”Taking many twists and turns through the garden, her eyes explored through every face sight, looking for the person who was holding the mic. And when she found him, her eyes melted into tears. A surge of emotions shook her whole being. She scuttled toward him, letting go of the gown in her hands.“Two hearts; one beat. Four wings; one flight…” Benjamin finished with the song and t

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
