VKBoyI've finally finished the penultimate arc! The final arc will have battles, too, but in a completely different manner. Will the son-in-law return with full force, or does he have other plans? Only time shall tell. I couldn't thank readers like Liwhundebe Emmanuel, Edwards Bocarvy, Dewaarta, and Balogun Morenikeji Olalekan the last time, as I can't thank everyone by name in here. I'm going to write a proper thank you note for all the names I notice in the rankings at the end of the novel, and please don't feel bad if you don't see your name. Cheers.

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

Akash woke up almost half-an-hour after Veronica had done her mischievous act. He didn’t realize right away that there was something in his mouth, but he couldn’t move his jaw. And it made him pull the thing that was in his mouth.He thought it was a piece of cloth at first, but then he soon saw what it was. He immediately looked at Veronica, shocked, but she was sleeping like a baby.How did this purple underwear come into his mouth? Did he do it? Did she do it? Did they do it together? He didn’t remember anything. He didn’t remember drinking alcohol last night, so he wasn’t sure what exactly happened, or how exactly, a woman’s underwear ended up in his mouth.Veronica’s wardrobe was bigger than her room itself, so he couldn’t tell if this purple underwear belonged to her or not. But who else could it belong to? He thought.“Maybe, she put it in my mouth to tell me something without saying it…” his expression suddenly changed because he wondered if Veronica was currently wearing unde

A few months ago. Rebecca came to Rye’s Pizzas in the evening, and she took Benjamin in her red Porsche. “Don’t wear sunglasses, ma’am, they’re not good for your health,” Benjamin said, sitting in the back because she wouldn’t usually let him sit next to her. “Don’t I look cool when I’m wearing them?” Rebecca asked. “Yes, but… you wouldn’t want to harm your health just to look good, would you?” he asked. “Your sister eats whatever she wants, but you think three times before putting a spoonful of ice cream in your mouth. Why is that?” “Because sugar is very bad for you,” Rebecca answered quickly and proudly. “I get my natural sugar from fruits, so I avoid junk food, especially ones that are addictive.” “That’s right. You used discretion there and stayed off from bad sugar products. Sunglasses fall in the same category. They are bad for your eyes. And anything that’s bad for the eyes is bad for the whole body.” Rebecca paused for a second. “So you're telling me, I shouldn’t wear s

A couple of days later.Something felt good as Veronica opened her eyes in the morning, thinking Akash was up to something naughty again, but she found Roja massaging her legs. She immediately sat up. “W-What are you doing?” her legs and feet were completely covered in thick oil, which offended and grossed her out.“I’m helping the blood flow all over your body,” Roja said. “A good foot massage will heal the whole body. Castor oil massage is especially good for health.”Veronica, however, couldn’t understand a single word Roja said. “No. I don’t need you to massage me!” She got up from her bed, but the moment she put her foot down, she slipped and fell back on the bed. “Kyaa! I thought I was gonna die! Just how much oil did you apply on my feet!” she fumed at Roja.“I-I’m sorry,” Roja apologized and then tried to wipe Veronica’s feet clean with a towel, but Veronica didn’t let her.“You’ve done enough!” she pulled her legs away. “Just leave!” she waved her hand, demanding Roja to leav

George came to Rebecca who was sitting in front of a piano she hadn’t played in a long time.“Will you help me with learning the piano?” George asked her politely.“I myself am relearning it, so, no,” Rebecca replied, “uncle.”George laughed. “I’m your brother-in-law, not your uncle.”“Both are fitting,” she retorted, “in this case.”George found it embarrassing and frustrating that she wasn’t giving him any face even though he was just trying to be friendly, albeit with hidden intentions. “Do you know what happened to your sister’s husband?”“Akash left, it seems,” Rebecca said.“Yeah. But the shocking thing is that Veronica isn’t crying,” George opined. “Even enemies will shed tears as they’re parting, but… how come your sister isn’t shedding a tear? I didn’t know her heart was so cold.”“It is good that she’s not faking her crying like some others do,” Rebecca replied, startling George.“I-Is that what you think? Now that you put it that way, I don’t disagree.”Just then, Fiona arr

“Haha, did Veronica’s husband really go back to his country?” Fiona laughed excitedly as she privately talked with her daughter Riley in a guest room. “I didn’t think things would happen so smoothly. Now, we just need to introduce one of our rich allies to Veronica, and the rest will take care of itself. I should also deal with Rebecca’s husband, too.”“Mom, I need to tell you something,” Riley said.“Go on,” Fiona was eating sweet bread which Delle had made.“I…” Riley hesitantly said. “I think I’m in love with Benjamin.”Fiona choked on her bread.Riley quickly gave water.It was only after drinking the water, Fiona was able to breathe again. She took a few deep breaths and looked at her daughter in shock. “Are you fucking kidding me? You have a wedding soon, and you’re saying you fell in love with Rebecca’s husband? A pizza-delivery guy?”“No, mom. Rebecca’s husband is Benyamin, the guy with the wolf haircut, but the one I fell in love with is Benjamin,” Riley clarified, “the guy w

“It’s obvious that your sister has come here with a goal,” Selena was talking to Jacob in his room. “Fiona is a snake through and through. We can’t let her stay here for long, or she’ll cause our family to split up. If we give our daughters to the billionaires she refers to, then they will try to have control over our family. You do realize that, don’t you?”“So you want me to send my sister and her family away when they came to our house after so many years?” Jacob asked her back in an annoyed voice.“Yeah. You can’t hesitate with a snake, or it will bite you when you’re most vulnerable,” Selena added. “If you don’t send her away, she will stick in this house for a while and make a mess out of our family.”Jacob thought about it. “I can’t do it myself, but I know someone who can.”“Who?” Selena curiously asked.“Your eldest daughter,” Jacob smiled.“Rebecca?” Selena was surprised for a second. “I see. If Fiona confronts Rebecca about her marriage, then Rebecca wouldn’t just watch. If

“How are things with your family, brother?” Fiona asked.Selena raised an eyebrow. “You’re in a family that deals with real-estate, so you should already know how we’re doing.”“Haha, I do, but outside information can only be trusted so much,” Fiona responded. “Recently, we’ve worked hard on getting a marriage deal for Riley. Her fiance owns a reputed sports agency that deals with covering all the popular international sports. He earns hundreds of millions every year, but his father is a tycoon in the alcohol industry. Their net worth is in tens of billions.”“Good for you and your daughter,” Jacob smiled.“By the way, Brother,” Fiona glanced at Veronica and Akash. “What does Veronica’s husband do?”Jacob’s expression slightly changed.Veronica frowned and looked at her mother who was looking back at her with a rather poker face.“He is staying at home for now,” Veronica said openly.“Pfft, he’s jobless?” Riley snorted. “Your taste is so bad, Veronica, not just in terms of finding a pa

Benjamin went to the first floor and waited in the hall until Rebecca left her room.Then he went to her room. The door was locked, but he solidified his energy in the keyhole and opened the door.He entered the room quietly and saw the water bottle on the table next to her desk. It was half-full.Benjamin took out the vial and poured a drop of water into the bottle while saying ‘I love you, Rebecca.’He entered the bathroom and poured a couple of drops in the bathtub while once more uttering the three words ‘I love you, Rebecca.”He was about to come out of the room, but then he stopped and then ended up leaking another drop of water on the pillow, and another on the blanket. “I love you, Rebecca.”“Hopefully, this will help,” he thought.Benjamin then hurriedly left the room and then went to the rooftop. He mixed a few more drops in each of the four water tanks, while saying the words out, “I love you, Rebecca.”He looked at the vial.Three fourths of it was finished.He put the via

Despite Uzza, Rye, and Benjamin living in separate rooms, there were many guest rooms still available in the mighty Sterling villa, the best property on Rachel Hill.So, the families of Jacob’s siblings stayed in those rooms without any issue.But the problem was with the cousins, who were trying to show off. They acted arrogant and haughty with Veronica and even mocked Rebecca for the little hair she had on her head, not even bothering to wonder why exactly her hair was like that.Rebecca didn’t even bother talking to them, or sparing a word with them because she knew how selfish and self-centered these people were.Jacob and Shawn might have forgiven these people, but Rebecca couldn’t just act like nothing ever happened.She didn’t treat them badly, either. She just ignored them and minded her business.However, her cousin sisters got their eyes on Benyamin who was quite good-looking. Her cousin brothers were also unable to avert their eyes from Rye.Rye looked more like an exotic f

So many people started visiting Sterling villa ever since Selena herself had leaked the news of her buying a lot of land and buildings in Aurora Hills.Selena was sitting on the balcony, with Veronica next to her.“Why has the traffic increased so much?” Veronica said, “I’m seeing so many cars come and go recently.”Selena somewhat smiled and sipped on cream coffee. “I wasn’t born rich, Veronica. My relatives didn’t even let my parents into their homes or invite us to their functions because we were poor as church mice.”“Stop joking, Mom,” Veronica smirked with amusement. “You look like a million dollars. I’m sure our relatives’ sons back then would have wanted to marry you.”“You’re not entirely wrong, but they didn’t want to marry me as much as they wanted to mess with me,” Selena said. “I still remember one guy telling me, ‘I may look ugly as hell, but I can show you heaven in bed.’”Veronica went silent in shock. She didn’t think her mother’s beauty would have brought such terrib

Delle was bringing food, three varieties, on a big plate.Rye intercepted and took the plate from her. She brought it to Benjamin and sat by him under the tree.The grass was cool, even though the breeze was warm.“You think I haven’t noticed that you weren’t eating anything since you made that 40-day promise?” Rye said. “You were just acting like you’re eating.”She broke the bread mixed with fruit and brought it closer to his mouth.He didn’t open his mouth.“Do you want me to stop eating just like you are doing?” Rye said.Benjamin, who was staring into the distance, glanced at her. “Is it possible to love and hate at the same time?”Rye pursed her lips together, not quite understanding why he asked such a question. “I was angry with the things you did. I am still angry, but I don’t hate you. So, if you really love someone, I don’t think you can hate them.”“If there is no hatred in his heart, then how is Neel able to do this to me?” Benjamin asked, a hint of pain laced through his

Rebecca and Benyamin had breakfast together.This nearly made Selena’s eyes bleed. She didn’t think she’d live a day like this.Watching them eating happily was like injecting poison into her body.While she loved seeing her daughter happy, she couldn’t spare any mercy on the man who tricked her daughter into marrying him.Even now, she was thinking in her heart, devising plans on how to separate her daughter and her husband.Having lost the mood to eat breakfast, she came to the backyard.Amber was preparing the background setting needed for the interview.“Where’s Kathy?” Selena asked.“S-She’s with Samuel Sehla, ma’am,” Amber hesitantly said.Selena’s gaze turned a little icy, but then she smiled. “I knew Kathy had it in her, but I didn’t think she’d be able to grab the attention of someone like Samuel Sehla.” She looked at Amber. “What about you?”“I-I don’t plan on grabbing anybody’s attention,” Amber quickly replied.“Tsk, tsk,” Selena shook her head. “Try to grab Benyamin’s att
