Marcus walked out of the station and sat on a bench under the tree shade. He called someone on his mobile. “Mr. Bernard, this is Marcus. I need your help with something. It’s very urgent.”“Whoa, chill, dude,” a throaty voice spoke from the other choice. “You haven’t contacted me in a freaking long time. I ate a lot of biscuits yesterday, and I’m having a hard time shitting right now. Is it okay if I call you later in the afternoon?”“I told you it’s urgent, didn’t I?”“Yeah, but I spent at least an hour in the bathroom,” he responded.“You’ve gotta get your stomach looked at. Who’d spend an hour squeezing their intestines in the bathroom?” Marcus blurted. “Anyway, this is serious, Mr. Bernard. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have called you.”“Ugh… okay. I guess I can keep the shit inside for a few more hours,” Bernard reluctantly said. “Tell me, what happened?”“Jim is behind bars. The police captured him and are wrongly accusing him of doing some illegal things and more.”“Oh, that’s bad.”“

Brian entered the station with multiple lawyers and waved the papers in his hand. “Here’s the bail.”Selena and everyone was immediately relieved to hear that.The inspector calmly checked the documents and slightly frowned as he looked at Brian. (How did this man get the signature from the high-court’s judge?) He also noticed that the magistrate was among the people Brian brought, so the inspector was forced to smile. “Please sit down first, sir.”“Why would I sit in this filthy place?” Brian retorted. “You better bring her out before I lose myself.”“S-Sure thing,” the inspector quickly glanced at the officers, and one of them hurriedly opened the cell.“Come out, Rebecca,” Selena said.“Mom, what about this man?” Rebecca looked at Jim who was sitting next to her in the same cell. He was still cuffed up on purpose. “Didn’t you get bail for him?”“We don’t even know who that man is,” Selena said. “If we bring him bail, then the reporters will make it seem like you and he are somehow

Jim’s words, ‘can I have your number,’ left almost everyone there in shock.Rebecca just didn’t know how to respond. She wanted to reject him, but he clearly helped her fend off the ruffians. But if she were to give her his number, wouldn’t that mean she was interested in him? Rebecca didn’t have any feelings for him, so she wasn’t sure if she should give her number or not.“I know this isn’t the right time,” Jim quickly said, “but if I have your number, I thought I could contact you some other time. If not, you can just visit my restaurant sometime in the future.”“Uh… I think I’ll do that then?”“D-Do what? Giving me your number, or…”“I’ll visit your restaurant some day,” Rebecca said.Jim smiled, but he’d be lying if he said he wasn’t disappointed. To this day, most women would drool at him, but very few women had grabbed his attention. Even now, Jim felt like talking with Rebecca even though Veronica and Selena were around. There was something about her that was different. But si

In Sterling villa. An invisible dark cloud was hovering on top of Rebecca who was in deep sleep. She was having many dreams, but one dream suddenly popped into her mind. It was her kissing and having sex with Jim, the man she had recently met at a restaurant. It woke her up at once. She found herself sweating. She tried to wipe the sweat off her face, but then realized that her hand felt very stiff. She couldn’t fold her fingers, which showed signs of her body lacking water. She grabbed a bottle from the fridge and hydrated herself. Within seconds, she was able to open and close her fist again. She sat down on the bed, looking a bit dull. She did not like the fact that she had such a nasty dream all of a sudden. She never had such a distasteful dream before. She never even imagined having sex like that with anybody, so the dream she had really made her feel bad. She blamed herself for having such perverse thoughts. And she didn’t want to go back to sleep anymore. It was already 5

Early in the morning.Jim, the young chef, was reading a book written by Selena Sterling, and he loved the health and beauty tips she had given throughout the book. Also, the one quote that really hit him was: Life is a labyrinth of emotions, and love is the only route you’ll find your way.“Dad, did you know of this quote?” Jim asked his dad, Marcus, who was working in the kitchen.“Of course, it’s one of her most popular quotes,” Marcus said. “Hundreds of thousands of people sent her love letters after she said those words in an interview. It became big news back then. Just imagine thousands of letters showing up at your doorstep every single day… It must be pretty daunting. Maybe that's why she never made such statements afterward. But she used to be a pretty daring woman in the past. When she married a movie producer, I thought she was like any other actress who got trapped or tricked by him, but then I saw evidence that those two had been in love for a while before that. I felt l

In his room, Jacob was watching an old movie of Selena and remembered the old days and felt happy about it. “She was so lively back then…” Suddenly, Selena entered the room, shouting his name. Jacob immediately changed the channel. “Watching television shows, are you?” she shook her head. “You’re becoming a couch potato day by day. I know you’re depressed, and I’m depressed, too, but if you do nothing about it, then it’s going to turn you old soon.” “Did you come here just to tell me that?” Jacob indifferently asked. “No. A guy contacted me on mobile,” she said irritatingly. “And he sounded like he was part of the mafia. He had the audacity to demand me to join his group, or he’ll cause us more trouble. He also said he parties with popular celebrities in the industry every week. You must have an idea of who it could be, right?” “Mm…” Jacob thought for a moment. “It’s a group that’s called Nexus.” “Nexus?” she had never heard about it. “Every member in that group is filthy rich,

The next morning.Rebecca was walking in the garden, instead of going out for a walk because of all the things that had happened the last time she had gone out.Veronica accompanied her, but her body language showed that she wasn’t interested at all. She was only doing it for the sake of giving company to her sister and was also making sure Rebecca wouldn’t go out.“Is it necessary to get up early and exercise?” Veronica asked.“If you get lazy, you get fat, and if you get fat, your brain doesn’t get the right amount of oxygen,” Rebecca said, “and that’ll affect your thinking. But if you exercise, then it’ll reduce the stress and also improve blood oxygen levels.”“Reducing the stress, huh…” Veronica slightly smiled. “I guess you’re finally thinking of moving on?”“Moving on?” Rebecca didn’t like that phrasing of words. “What the heck is wrong with you?”“What?” Veronica’s heart skipped a beat. “Did I say something wrong?”Rebecca shook her head, not even bothering to reply.“I said i

The vampires Denise, Cranston, and Zakaria were among the few that had managed to get back to the main world with their lives intact.It was all thanks to Denise’s ability to cloak themselves and using a cloud to travel faster in the sky. And they eventually reached one of the most popular vampire underground cities, Shambol.But they weren’t allowed entrance yet, so they were waiting outside at the bar, drinking on the rooftop.Zakaria looked the dullest among the three because he lost all confidence after his trip to the moonless kingdom.“Crossing the Cronos Sea was dangerous as hell,” Cranston, however, was living the moment by eating and drinking to his heart’s content. “And then we flew over the fallen Atlantis continent, which was the creepiest thing ever, with those cyclops, snake, and monster fish statues. What were those things all about? I lost my appetite from watching all those things that appeared as if they were looking right at us, and I couldn’t eat anything during th

Benyamin gave a bouquet to Rebecca, and she gladly accepted it.Rebecca brought Benyamin into the villa while holding his hand, and her eyes were still wet with tears of happiness.Selena, who just happened to be coming downstairs with her handbag, planning to go out to make an important deal, saw Benyamin. The bag in her hand dropped. “Y-You… Why did you come back?”“Mom, is that the question you ask your son-in-law?” Rebecca’s voice was sharp.“He’s been gone for weeks!” Selena’s gaze also turned sharper. “And don’t you remember what he’s done? He sold the villa away to Uzza. Did you already forget that he cheated on all of us? Let go of his hand now! He must have heard of my recent rise and came here to use us! A bastard like him should never even be let close! Kick him out. Now!”Rebecca, however, tightened her grip. “No. If you want him to leave, I’ll leave, too.”Selena’s heart skipped a beat. “What? Have you lost your mind? Just what do you see in this trash that you are willin

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
