Veronica had always wanted to prove herself by getting a decent-paying job, so that her family members would give her some respect and don’t just treat her like a forever-child. However, hoping to get a job proved infinitely much easier than actually getting one that she believed she deserved. She used to love playing drums when she was young, but she didn’t pursue her interest to become a rock star because she didn’t want to leave home and go on tour all the time. It was too much work, she believed. Why work so hard when she could already go on a vacation once or twice every week? Most of her friends usually took over their family businesses and became doctors, lawyers, or started their own companies with the money they took from their parents. But what should Veronica do when she didn’t even really know what she was truly passionate about? She didn’t like being a producer like her father. Though she was interested in becoming an actress in the past, her mother was against it, sayi
Akash’s parents paid a visit to Dorothy and kept talking with her for hours, with Akash being the translator between them. Normally, Dorothy wouldn’t have talked with them for so long, but right now, she was happy that they kept telling her how to fight back on cancer by eating the seeds of apples, apricots and whatnot. They told her multiple ways to heal herself and rid her body of cancer within a few months.Veronica, on the other hand, was watching Elizabeth teach her daughter Lisa how to put on makeup.“Anything you put on your skin goes into your bloodstream within five minutes,” Elizabeth said, “so I will never put some random cream or gel on my body. I will only use trusted products made in factories I’ve personally visited. In fact, when I’m attending parties, I’ll wash my face with only distilled water because tap water is contaminated to an extent. From now on, I’ll take you along with me so you’ll learn how to avoid the toxic skin products and keep yourself beautiful foreve
As the flames of hell burned the demons all around, Benjamin fought the fallen angels with everything he got. What was worrying, however, was that these fallen angels only kept growing stronger as time passed. They kept receiving energy from above, which helped them to keep piling pressure as well as injuries on Benjamin’s body. “What happened to the man that defeated Azazel?” Uzza took the job of taunting and provoking Benjamin to anger while questioning his knowledge and capabilities. “The title of the sovereign of earth doesn’t suit someone like you! Our brother and boss, Satan, is the only sovereign there is!” The fallen angel Mansemat used his powers of destruction to bring his judgment on Benjamin by fighting him from the front, “The armies you’ve seen are not even a tenth of us, Human! We’re not allowed to roam the earth as we please right now, but once we get the chance, we’re going to lead everybody astray from the creator, and that includes your people, too! Either they li
A few days later.On Sciocidad, everybody in the clan attended Mina’s funeral. However, no funeral was conducted for the eight saints for nobody was sure if they died or were just taken away.New saints were chosen by a special method. All the chosen ones were young children who would eventually be groomed into saints, who would then hold more power than the elders and a little less power than the sovereign.After Rye gifted the newly chosen saints with clothes and tools, a clan meeting took place. All the elders and significant members of the clan gathered to discuss the future. Everybody expressed their opinions without hesitation.“Now that the vampire king has died, the lizards are growing restless in their pursuit for doomsday,” one man named Brooks said passionately after getting up from his seat. “They are kidnapping people and are seizing their bodies. We can’t let them keep doing this, or all the top, influential positions around the world will be filled to the brim with thos
Rye was faster than lightning itself. She went all out from the very beginning by imbuing red lightning into her leg.Ryan cross-blocked the kick with visible effort. “Going for the face of an elder, you’re quite rude, Rye.”“I don’t want to hear that from someone who doesn’t try to understand my feelings!” Rye spun in midair and went for Ryan’s midsection with an axing kick.Ryan blocked her skin with his right elbow before it struck his waist. The class of their spiritual energies didn’t destroy the environment around them but actually promoted the growth of the plant life, for both Rye and Ryan’s hearts were being driven by positive thoughts, despite how they tried to oppose each other.Rye kept her distance close and targeted his fists, wanting to make the soil in his hands spill to the ground no matter what.Ryan sucked in a deep breath and formed white spheres around his fists. These spheres not only helped Ryan defend from Rye but also be on the offense.Rye’s movements were li
Everybody on Sciocidad was in a joyful mood after Benjamin returned. A messenger bird was already sent to deliver the message to Shadow. This was not a living bird but a robotic bird driven by wind and electricity, which was generally also used as children’s toys.A trial was soon conducted on Benjamin, with the jurors being Ryan, Galen, and ten more elders. Being the current ruler, Rye herself was the judge.Rye was reading the document prepared by the scholars of the clansmen. “You were given the authority to sit on this throne and rule the people, which you did for a little while, and then you ran away from the sight of your people and didn’t return even after six months had passed. Do you have anything to say about it?”“I’m guilty about it,” Benjamin replied.“Aren’t you going to argue your own case?” Rye asked because there was no such thing as lawyers on Sciocidad. Every adult had to defend themselves in court. So, Rye didn’t like how Russell just agreed to being guilty without
An old lady entered a luxury watch store. She was in her pajamas and was carrying a small handbag strapped to her chest.The moment she entered, she received negative looks from the workers. “Grandma, where do you think you’re coming?” a female worker asked her.“I want to buy a watch, young one,” the old lady who seemed to be in her eighties said. “No, I want to buy two watches. One for my son, and another for his to-be wife.” She was about to sit in a chair.“Wait, don’t sit,” the worker quickly came past the desk and grabbed her arm. “You need to go out.”“Why?” The old lady seemed a little confused.“There’s nothing here that you can buy,” the worker exerted some force and pulled the old lady away. “If you want to buy watches for your son and daughter-in-law, then you should find a roadside mobile vehicle that sells cheap watches that look like the real ones. That’s going to make your son and daughter-in-law happy, I’m sure.”“But I can afford the watches in this store, young one,
Veronica rolled to her left and then to her right. She covered her ears with the pillow and squeezed it against her head, trying her best to sleep, but Akash’s snoring was being quite a bit of a nuisance to her.The noisy vibration just wasn’t letting her sleep.After struggling for a while, Veronica took her pillow and walked out of the room. She went straight to Rebecca’s room because she was used to sleeping with her sometimes, whenever she felt lonely in the past.However, when she entered the room, she was surprised to see Rebecca sleeping next to a pair of clothes. “That gray suit…” Veronica’s expressions changed because she remembered that the suit belonged to Benjamin. Did her sister miss him so much she was not able to sleep without feeling his presence next to her. (Did you love him that much, sis?) She pursed her lips.Compared to her sister, she felt that her love lacked very much. After all, she couldn’t even put up with Akash’s snoring, and she didn’t even try to attempt

Some days later.Sofia Myers ordered pizza from an apartment she had recently bought.And to her surprise, it was Benjamin who delivered it.“It’s you?” Sofia remembered him. “Aren’t you Rebecca’s husband? You both are having an official wedding soon, right? Why are you still working as a pizza-delivery guy?”“I have my reasons,” Benjamin replied. “And it’s more of a part-time job now.”“Okay, come on in,” Sofia told him.When he entered the apartment, there were over a dozen females there, smoking and drinking.“This guy is Benjamin, a mighty pizza-delivery guy who married a bald woman,” Sofia started making fun of him to make her friends laugh.Benjamin quickly countered her, saying, “It seems your husband has left you to your pleasures. I’m not surprised, though I might not have done the same thing.”Sofia gritted her teeth and threw her mobile at him.Benjamin caught it with ease. “A woman who easily gets angry will have a hard time obtaining a place in any man’s heart.”“Get the
Samuel Sehla and Kathy started dating.And Amber began to work for the Sehla family now, acting as a spy for Kathy.Samuel’s wife, Kismet, got sent divorce papers. Half of her face was still paralyzed.She tore the divorce papers into pieces. “How could you do this to me, Samuel! I will not let you get what you want!” she screamed madly. “Never!”Andrew Sehla, on the other hand, was busy dealing with all the new troubles and terror he was facing ever since he tried to do some good after getting forced by Benjamin a few weeks back.“I don’t have much longer to live anyway,” Andrew thought. “So I’ll live it in a way that it doesn’t leave any regrets.”Knowing that his time was short, he started passing some groundbreaking laws in the country.In the Sterling villa.George was begging his mother Dorothy to let him be the driver of the Sterling family.Dorothy didn’t know that George knew about Shawn killing Nolan beforehand.So she told him that he could work as a driver, but then Elizab
“Why can’t I meet him once?” Lisa yelled at her mom. “If you’re not going to let him see me, then I’ll leave this house!”“You think I’ll come running after you?” Elizabeth yelled back. “Leave the house if you want! No one is stopping you!”Lisa then angrily left the house and walked away on her bare feet, crying and shedding tears.It had been weeks since she had seen her dad, and she just wanted to talk to him once more and know how he was doing, but her mother was not even letting her contact her dad.Lisa didn’t know for how long she walked, but her stomach started growling.It was twelve in the afternoon, and she hadn’t eaten anything. So, she was really hungry now.She looked across the street. There was a bakery.Lisa touched her pockets and frowned as she didn’t have any money.She put her hand on her abdomen and rubbed it for a few seconds and was then walking away.“Lisa, what are you doing here?” Benjamin who was traveling in a truck had just made the driver stop the vehicl
In Sciocidad also known as the Sky City.“So she asked for more time…” Ryan sighed.He became the temporary ruler of the Wolfe clan.“Both Benjamin and Rye have left this seat, which is something that never happened before,” Ryan’s voice was gritty yet sad. “This doesn’t set a good example for the coming generations, especially given that we’re living in the end times.”“Don’t tell me, you’re planning on making someone else the sovereign?” Uzza quickly asked.“No, not yet,” Ryan replied. “We’ve lost a lot already. We can’t be wasting our people’s time or give them false hope. It is better to pick a new ruler, but I will wait a little longer.”Even though Ryan didn’t say it, Uzza felt that the time limit would probably be six months.“Come back soon, Rye,” Uzza wished in her heart.Elsewhere in the same city, in a dark dungeon.“With a friend like you around, what’s the need for enemies?” Benyamin was hissing at Dahlia as she poured her spiritual energy into Benyamin’s spine relentles
Rye’s POV:My first and only love has truly left me.After cutting my heart into pieces without making me bleed… That’s how he left me.My tears won’t fall.I can’t feel anything.Neither sadness nor regret.Nothing.Even though my one and only love has abandoned me, I can’t even shed tears.Just what kind of a person am I?What kind of a woman have I become?I keep cutting onions in one the huts of Rye’s Pizzas, but even the raw onions are not able to bring me to tears.“How long are you going to keep doing this?” A voice washed my back.Without turning, I knew that it was my mom Uzza.“Choose someone else as the sovereign,” I said, continuing to cut the chillies, hoping at least the chillies would elevate my anger.“You’re making the same mistake that Benjamin did,” my mom sighed. “Everyone is waiting for you, so please come back.”“I have no intention of returning any time soon,” I replied.My mom’s hand touched my shoulder. She slowly turned me around.Our eyes locked each other.
A few days later.At six in the morning.Rebecca woke up and found Benjamin resting with his head at her legs. “Benjamin, why are you sleeping the other way? You’re not a cat. Sleep next to me!”Benjamin rolled over to her side and lay next to her, sharing the same pillow. “Last night, I woke up for water, and then I saw the mole on your thigh, and I wanted to sleep next to it.”Rebecca’s face flushed very much. “Stop it, you are talking like a child!”“Aren’t we both still children in our relationship?” Benjamin gently touched her chin and planted a kiss on her cheek.Rebecca’s face gained some more blood. The same could be said for Benjamin. Both of them were fair and were in the prime of their age, so they appeared a thousand times more attractive when blood rushed to their faces.After Benjamin kissed her, Rebecca felt her emotions stirring up again. She pulled the blanket up and covered both of them and hugged him tightly and showered kisses on him.“I think it’s time for breakfa
The moment blood gushed out of Rebecca’s neck, while her eyes were staring at him, Benjamin immediately snapped.“BENYAMIN~~!!”His roar reverberated through the hearts of all the people there, shaking their very souls.Benjamin’s suit was ripped to pieces as he grew into a mighty silver werewolf and leaped forth.In a flash, Benjamin’s claws cut through Benyamin’s shoulder and snatched Rebecca.Benjamin vanished from people’s sight and landed on the rooftop.Dahlia and Uzza took Benyamin and also vanished from there.Rye stood frozen, and so did Selena and everyone from the Sterling family. The guests were also thrown into chaos as a man had turned into a monster right before their eyes.Louis and Bella were quick to act. They cast a wide spell together, which swiftly erased the recent memory of this wedding itself.However, they did not remove the memories of those from the Sterling family.Almost every guest collapsed on the floor afterward, but Selena and others were still standin
The wedding night has arrived on time just like the full moon in all of its splendor.Rebecca did not look happy because Selena did not send invitations to most of the people she should have.Selena didn’t want this wedding news to be spread around the world, either, so she tried her best to suppress it from behind the scenes.Jacob also played his part in doing what his wife wanted him to.Shawn entered the villa, wearing a disguise, as he wanted to see his sister’s marriage and also see his wife and kids once.The wedding was taking place in the front yard.Benjamin was standing in the distance, far from the crowd.Jane and Veronica brought Rye out of the villa. Dressed in dazzling white, she looked like the walking moon.Benjamin didn’t even look in her direction as his back faced the villa.Holding a bouquet of white roses and lilies, she waited for the groom.Moments later, Benyamin also walked out of the villa, as escorted by none but himself. With a hand in his pocket, he walke
