“I won’t go,” Veronica straightforwardly replied. “I told you, dad. I already have a boyfriend.”“So what? It’s just dinner. Go and meet him first,” Jacob suggested. “Who knows? You might like him?”“What?” Veronica’s face warped fast, and tears soon welled up in her eyes. “You think so low of me just because I don’t have a job, don’t you?”“Fabio Romano,” Jacob didn’t seem to care that she was crying, “He owns over 600 theater sites across the world.”“So what?”“So what?” a vein popped in Jacob’s forehead. “With your talent, do you think you can even own a single theater in your lifetime?”Veronica felt greatly insulted, but this wasn’t the first time Jacob had demeaned her so much.“Jacob,” Selena tried to intervene, but he raised his finger and made her stand back.Jacob gave Veronica a visiting card. “This is the visiting card of Fabio’s son. You’ll meet tonight at the appointed restaurant. That’s final, if you want to keep living in my house.” Saying that he walked away.Selena

“The Hogs failed?” Francis the criminal lawyer cut the call. “I just wanted him beat, so I can push the blame onto Jacob or his eldest son, which will surely make him flee from the villa. But why is just beating this bastard taking so long? I want my son to enter Selena’s daughter’s life, so I can become related to Selena at least this way, but…” after thinking a bit, he dialed another number. “Hello, Blackbear. What happened to the task I gave you? Were you fucking sleeping?”“I was working on it, Mr. Francis,” Blackbear replied a little politely, “but you went and asked the useless Hogs to finish the task that even four of my men couldn’t finish?”“Let’s get to the point. How much time will you need?”“A month. Not a day more.”“Fine,” Francis’ voice turned cold. “If you fail this time, be prepared to see the samurai.” He then ended the call. “Edward said he’ll take care of the son-in-law in a month as well, didn’t he? Let’s see which one of us will succeed first.”“Why, sir?” Franc

At Sterling's villa.The gate guard was sleeping with his mouth open, and a fly took a tour inside his mouth before entering his nose. He was forced to sneeze. It woke him up. He checked his watch. “5:30 only?” There were still thirty minutes left for his shift to be completed. “Where’s the Unpaid Maid?” he was looking at the list of groceries Kathy had given to him to bring, but he wanted to make Benjamin do the job for him as he had done so twice in the past.A gray Honda zoomed into his view and slowed down at the entrance but kept coming straight at the chair he was sitting in. “Hey, hey, hey!” he cried out in fear. There was no time for him to even move. He thought the car would hit him and squash him into the guardpost, but the car stopped inches away from him. He almost pissed in his pants.The car moved back a little, and then a familiar head poked outside. An amused grin played on that face, shocking the guard. “U-Unpaid Maid?”“What are you looking at?” Benjamin asked. “Open

“Hello, my little bird,” a creepy caring voice came from the other side, sending a chill all over Rebecca’s body. “Normally, I am the one who ensnares women, but it's the opposite in your case. You’ve tied me up with your peerless beauty.”Rebecca immediately recognized this man. It was Arlo Campbell, the governor’s son. She thought he wouldn’t contact her again after her father had talked with his father. Clearly, she was wrong.“What’s wrong, dear?” Arlo continued to speak in a saucy tone, “Did you think I will give up on you just because your father had a little chat with mine? While your father may be rich, my father is the richest elected official of the country. Even the president has to think twice before talking with my dad, so you see… I believe your father didn’t give enough respect to my father, but I can forgive him because he’s responsible for your birth. Without him, a rare bird like you wouldn’t have been born. You are a thousand times more beautiful than your mother, a

When Rebecca tried to cover Benjamin with the blanket, a muscle in her ankle twitched, and she fell on top of him. Her butt crash landed right on top of his belly, and her hand pressed down on his chest as she sought balance.She quickly looked at Benjamin, but luckily, he was still in deep sleep. She found herself staring nonstop at his handsome face, and his pink lips. She could lean closer and kiss them, but she didn’t want to do it this way.Her hand that was resting on his chest could feel its definition, and for a second, she wondered if he got abs. She could tear the shirt open, but she withdrew her hand. However, her other hand then unintentionally ended up taking the support of his pelvis as she stood. And her eyes widened as she looked at her hand and felt the feeling of touching his pelvis.“Did I just…”She took a quick look at his face, and he was still sleeping like a baby. She couldn’t tell where she was putting her hand because of the blanket covering him, but she felt

The next morning.Benjamin woke up at 5 and found himself covered in a blanket. It was his blanket, so he wondered if Rebecca was behind it, but he found it hard to even imagine Rebecca caring about him enough to cover him in a blanket.“It must have been a maid,” he thought. (The new maid is giving me long stares like she wants to eat me. Is it her?) He shook her head. “This is what becomes of a husband who isn’t cared for by his wife. Almost every woman who walks into his life thinks they can sleep with him. It must be even worse for a wife uncared for by her husband. Adulthood is appalling, alright. I wish I was still a kid. How cute would it have been if I had met my wife when we were kids?” Just the thought made him flush a bit. “Ugh,” he sighed, “it’s not possible now anyways.”He suddenly looked up, and a small drone flew down to his level and showed him a video on mobile screen. It displayed the kind act of Rebecca putting a blanket on him.“So it was her…” Benjamin’s heart fl

Anous survived the heart attack thanks to Benjamin’s help. Anous’ wife thanked him a dozen times. Benjamin had wanted to take Anous’ car, but then he changed his mind after being thanked by Anous’ wife a lot of times.When Anous’ woke up hours later, the first thing he saw was his wife laughing to Benjamin’s jokes, and the scene twisted his gut. Firstly, what was the useless son-in-law doing, sitting next to his wife? And why was she laughing so much? Having already suffered from a heart attack before, he quickly realized that he was admitted into a hospital, but why was his wife busy talking with Benjamin when she would be worried about him?Though he didn’t want to admit it, Benjamin was a much better looking guy and was younger, too. It was natural that his wife would get easily attracted toward the son-in-law who even managed to fool someone like Rebecca into marrying him. Just the thought of Benjamin playing with his wife squeezed his heart.His blood pressure began to rise. The

Rebecca’s cry was heard by the maids and the butlers. Though she felt quite the pain for a second, once he put her on the bed and her foot neatly rested, she didn’t feel the pain anymore.“I’m sorry,” Benjamin apologized for the tenth time. “I was…” he couldn’t say the reason as he was staring at her face and forgot about the surroundings.“I don’t think you did it on purpose,” Rebecca said, “so it’s alright.”Benjamin was left speechless. Was she always so understanding? No, something definitely changed in her. He couldn’t pinpoint it but could feel it.“Uh, I couldn’t make it to the job in the morning,” he said, “so I asked for a night shift.”“Oh, so you won’t be here tonight.”“Yeah.” He sounded disappointed.She felt a little bit sour. She currently wasn’t wearing the wedding ring. “Okay. I give you permission.”Whether she was being humorous or not, Benjamin faintly smiled and said, “Thank you, my love.” He leaned forward and gently adjusted a few strands of hair falling down th

“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 mu

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

Veronica just finished bathing and was putting on one of those sexy outfits designed by her sister in the past. It revealed the entire midsection of the body, but hid everything else.Though Akash found it sexy, he said, “You really are not wearing that in the home, right?”“What’s wrong if I wear it?” Veronica retorted. “This isn’t even that revealing.”“Look at yourself in the mirror. It feels like I might catch a glimpse of your underboob if you were to raise your arms,” Akash said.Veronica squinted her eyes. “I’m wearing a bra underneath, you idiot. You know nothing about fashion. I’ve been bearing with your stupidity for a while now, but if I can’t even wear this type of clothing, then you should consider going back home and complaining to your parents about it! Because you need to really grow up!” After blurting out her anger through her words, she snorted and left the room.Standing by the balcony, she watched her father talking to guests downstairs.“This is meat tea, which D
