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

Porcius came to the ice cream section, but he couldn’t eat any ice creams because Mina didn’t even let him touch any flavor. Like a feral cat defending her precious meal, she hissed at him every time he tried to take a step closer, all the while she kept emptying boxes after boxes of ice creams.After trying a lot and losing his patience, Porcius barked, “I’m tired of your nonsense. You’re worse than Jane’s grandmother! Just get lost from my sight, you ugly old thing!” he swung his fist at her, fully intending to break her teeth and jaw.However, something happened in a flash, and the next second, Porcius was hugging the manicured grass on the ground. He was barely conscious. (What happened?)Meanwhile, Lisa came to Veronica and Akash and told them that Benjamin was back. They didn’t believe it at first and thought Lisa was lying to them just to get her hands on more gift boxes, but when Lisa said Rebecca and Benjamin were hugging, Jacob who was still at the main gate suddenly yelled

“If I was called a savvy entrepreneur for my success,” Parul expressed his viewpoint, “he can no doubt be called a savvy son-in-law for successfully winning the heart of his wife from a hopeless situation. Of course, it would be nice if he can also win the hearts of his in-laws, but it’s the same as asking my business competitors to like me because of my success. No matter what you do, such things are not entirely in our hands.”“A savvy son-in-law, you say?” Kismet’s voice turned a bit retarded. “Who? He?” she scoffed. “The only thing he’s got going for him is his looks.”“Pardon her, sir,” Samuel immediately interfered and apologized to Parul. “She doesn’t know what she’s talking about.”Kismet didn’t like that her husband didn’t back him; she spared him a quick cold glare and walked away.Samuel forced out a smile at Parul before excusing himself and following his wife. After going some distance, he said, “I didn’t want to make you look bad, dear. You know who he is, right?”“He’s

Selena’s face froze from an indescribable emotion rising in her heart. She looked at Donovan as if he was a bug that needed to be crushed underfoot. “Ah, my bad,” Donovan apologized. “Did I spook you, dear?” “Shut up,” Selena swiftly slapped him. Because of the bushes around him, he couldn’t move and defend himself. As a result, a sound slap struck his cheek. Donovan was shocked. This was probably the first time he had received such a slap from a woman. But his shock soon turned into an angry smile. “You think you are untouchable because you’re a famous actress,” Donovan broke out of the bushes and grabbed Selena’s throat. “You need to be taught a lesson.” Benjamin, Rebecca, Veronica, Jacob, and even a couple of the secret service guys acted, but someone else got there first and punched Donovan’s arm with his knuckles so efficiently his elbow bent the other way and broke. “AHHH!” Donovan howled in horror. Selena wasn’t scared by what she saw. Instead, she was happy that her secon

Veronica’s friends arrived late to the party, but Veronica didn’t mind that. She began showing them all the decorations she made, and they kept praising her nonstop.Akash was following them while keeping his distance, and he looked sad as Veronica hadn’t even introduced him to her friends yet, and she wasn’t even giving him any credit regarding his contribution in the decorations.As Benjamin was passing by, Veronica called him and made him give drinks to her friends. Some of her friends couldn’t help but gawk and drool at Benjamin.“Can you give me your number?” one girl asked him while biting on her finger.“I’m married,” replied Benjamin.“I don’t mind it,” she said shamelessly. “You can kiss me if you want.”“I’m not like that, lady,” Benjamin said and looked at Veronica. “Is this your gameplan?”“What?” Veronica felt offended. “Watch your tongue, Benjamin, or I’ll beat you. I’m not like my sister to forgive you even when you disappeared for two days. And don’t think it’s over be

Jane’s eyes widened as big as they could, and so was Sasha’s as they saw Benjamin sign the divorce papers. Selena’s heart, however, started fluttering like a newborn butterfly. This was what she had wanted ever since Rebecca brought Benjamin into the Sterling villa! After so long, she was able to succeed in breaking the bond between her daughter and her trash of a son-in-law. The moment Benjamin finished signing the papers, Selena snorted happily. “You’re a billionaire now. Enjoy your life.” The murmurs kept on going. It didn’t look like they were going to die anytime soon. As Benjamin passed by, Jacob Sterling didn’t look surprised. “I always knew you never loved my daughter.” Veronica didn’t say anything, but she was seething. “I knew he’s a golddigger the moment I first saw him,” Elizabeth had the look of utter disgust. “At least our bad luck is finally leaving with him,” Dorothy added. Lisa was right behind them, and she shook her head. When Benjamin was going past Jane, s

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
