Delle didn’t look happy at all. The moment when George had abandoned her was still very fresh in her mind. If not for Benjamin coming in to save her, she would have been pushing daisies up by now.George’s heart drummed with anxiety, and when Delle cast a glance at him, his face was painted with guilt and shame. He looked down, unable to maintain eye contact with her. In fact, he scuttled away from there.The same could be said for Kismet who had no idea Delle was still alive. She was told by her bodyguards they killed her, so how was she still breathing? Clearly, this meant that her bodyguards lied. And she could understand why. Because Benjamin must have brought an entire security unit and threatened them. In any case, staying there wasn’t safe for her, so she quickly left the party without even telling her own family members.Elizabeth, on the other hand, suddenly came to a realization, and she quickly whispered in Selena’s ears.Selena immediately went over to Rebecca just as Dell
Cherry took Sasha and hid her in a transport vehicle parked right outside the villa, then told the driver to be ready. The driver, Dewar, nodded. “But the President is here. If we get caught, we’ll be fucked.” “The President came here in secret, and his security is busy focusing on him,” Cherry reasoned. “It’s still risky, of course, but we’ve got no other choice. Our orders were to get as many good-looking women as we can.” “Even if they’re billionaires’ daughters?” Cherry nodded. “It’s just my guess, but maybe the president already is aware of our mission. Otherwise, it doesn’t make sense why he attended a night party without much security.” Cherry’s words sent goosebumps all over Dewar’s body. “This is crazy, man.” “Maybe their goal is to use their daughters to force them into doing their bidding,” Cherry opined. “They’ll do anything to stay in power, after all. Anyway, stay on alert. I’ll be bringing more of them.” After Cherry left, Dewar found himself pursing his lips. “Wh
Veronica collapsed sideways on the carrom board.“Kya!” Lisa cried out and looked at Katherine with eyes full of doubt and rage. “What did you do?”“I swear I didn’t do nothing,” Katherine looked just as shocked.“Aunt Veronica hit her head,” Mercie said, “and I see blood.”“It’s not good for us to be here,” Vlad grabbed her hand. “Let’s go.” Together, they ran out.Lisa thought this was a good thing that the children left on their own, but she had no idea what she should do with Veronica. “Oh no, she’s bleeding a lot! What am I supposed to do?” she was thinking of calling someone.“You’re so foolish!” Katherine blurted just then. “Take some cloth and press it against the wound. Have you never seen someone bleed before?”“What’s going on here?” Rebecca entered the room with Jane and Reena. After seeing Veronica, they rushed in to help her. Rebecca took care of her sister, whereas Jane and Reena dealt with Naida.“Kehehe,” Ferry and Cherry entered the room together. “There are more flo
A few moments before the shooting.“I’m telling you, sir,” Rodnie was warning Shadow about Blackbear and Dewar. “Those two are up to no good. If they don’t cause some ruckus at this party, I’ll go bald!”“Mm?” Shadow looked at Rodnie’s head. “You don’t have much hair left anyway.”“That’s not the point!”“Haha, don’t worry. I’ll go and deal with this Blackbear guy right now if that’s what you want.”“Let me accompany you then.”Rodnie and Shadow together looked for Blackbear.Akash was proudly explaining to Veronica’s friends that the suit he wore was actually chosen by Veronica. When she had given him the suit, he got emotional and hugged her back then, but he didn’t need to tell all that to her friends.“She bought you this costly suit?” her friends didn’t believe Akash’s words. “Why would she do that? She never bought anything even for her boyfriends before. What are you to her?”“W-What am I to her?” Akash hesitantly said, “I’m her friend.”“Pfft, then what are we? Why didn’t she
Amber was slowly pouring wine in Shawn’s mouth. Neither of them were yet aware of Benjamin’s identity, as nobody had come and told them yet.“Sir, is it really okay for you to be drinking now?” Amber asked. She didn’t want to be wasting her time here like this! She had seen a handsome guy among the guests, and she wanted to seduce him at all costs.However, they heard gunshots all of a sudden.Amber shook, and the wine ended up falling over Shawn’s face, and some went into his nose, making him sneeze and cough, and that hurt his muscles, making him cry.“W-What’s that noise? Crackers?” As she said, she could hear people shouting. “I-Is somebody shooting outside?” the wine bottle in her hands fell and broke. Luckily, no glass pieces hit her. “Are they going after the president?” she tried to go closer to the window.“Don’t go there, you idiot,” Shawn warned.“Why?” she asked, but then she realized what she was doing, and then ended up walking away from there. “Thank you.”Moments later
Rebecca woke up and found herself in an old, cold, dark cell that looked like it had been built in medieval times. The ground and the walls were pleated with dirt and dried blood. Spiders were fighting on the cobwebs for the lone fly that got caught.And Rebecca wasn’t alone in this cell. There were six more women beside her: Jane, Reena, Sasha, Naida, Sofia, and Yureka. Rebecca recognized all of their faces except that of Yureka.“Where is this place?” Her arms were bound by thick rope, which she couldn’t free from, no matter how hard she tried. She didn’t know how much time had passed, but at least, she was wearing the same dress as she had during the party.She heard the sound of footsteps and quickly closed her eyes.Bella and Louis stopped outside the cold cell.Bella snorted and said, “We can tell from your breathing that you’re awake, Rebecca.”Rebecca frowned and opened her eyes, only to see her brother and sister-in-law on the other side of the thick, iron-cage wall. She didn
All the seven women had woken up, and they ate away the silence without restraint. While Rebecca stayed silent for the most part, the same wasn’t the case for others.“They brought us here because of you!” Jane kept blaming Reena, as she was a famous actress.“Nonsense,” Reena brushed her words aside. “If they only wanted me, they would have only captured me. Why would they go through the effort of kidnapping the seven of us? Surely, there’s something more to this than we know.”“They probably want money,” Sofia Myers blurted. “What other reason can there be? I can tell that most of us are rich. It’s obvious if you ask me.”“I’m poor, though,” Sasha voiced her mind. “Maybe, it’s not just the money they’re after.”Sofia looked at Sasha with disdain all of a sudden.“W-What?” Sasha was shocked. “Did I do something wrong?”“I think she’s a spy put among us,” Sofia opined, “to gather more information about us.”“Huh?” Sasha’s jaw dropped. “I’m not a spy! How did you come to that conclusio
Benjamin and Shadow had just stopped on a lone island in the middle of the ocean.“I don’t smell them in the air,” Shadow opined. “You think this is the place?”Benjamin, however, didn’t reply, making Shadow wonder if Benjamin was still mad at him for the stunts he pulled at the party.Shadow looked around. “There are no footprints, either. Wait…” his eyes narrowed down on a bush, from where he could feel a heat signature. With a leap, he reached there and kicked the thorn bush aside, revealing to view a heavy metal door with bones & wings symbol at the top. “Black Feathers…”A part of the door opened and launched bullets at Shadow. With quick steps, he dodged all the bullets with no problem. When the machine was reloading, he punched it and destroyed the entire metal door along with it. The broken metal door fell and rolled down the wide stairs that led deep into the ground.“Is this all the defense they got?” Shadow felt it utterly underwhelming. “Mm?” He noticed that Benjamin was l
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
