Veronica did not fight as Rebecca and Akash jumped on her and sealed her limbs to the four legs of the bed.“Hey, why are you doing this to me?” Veronica innocently said. “I’m perfectly fine. I just didn’t like the smell of the salt water, that’s all.”“I won’t trust you,” Rebecca picked up the glass which fortunately still had some salt water inside. She tried to pour a drop in Veronica’s mouth, but Veronica quickly shut her mouth. Nevertheless, when the salt water fell and soaked her lips, she began to convulse a little.Akash’s eyes widened. “W-Why is she shaking like she’s having epileptic seizures?”“I’ve got no idea,” Rebecca stopped pouring the water and moved back. “Maybe, the worm in her body is going crazy? I wasn’t expecting such a violent reaction, though. I guess I severely underestimated the effect of sea water.”“It won’t kill her, right?” Akash looked really tense and worried.“C’mon, it’s just salt water, dude,” Rebecca said. “You act like you’re hurt more than my sis
Jane and Steve brought the wounded eagle to a veterinary hospital.The animal doctor saw the bird and straight away said, “Are you guys coming from the sea shore?”“Yes, doctor,” Jane was very surprised. “How did you know?” “Because this isn’t the first time someone brought an injured bird to this place,” the doctor said. “Please put the bird on the desk. Gently.”Steve put the bird down. As the doctor observed the bird, Steve asked, “Can it fly like before?”“You brought it quickly, so yes, if we reattach it and keep it still for a few weeks, it should be able to fly,” the doctor said to their relief. “However, it will be forced to put more weight into the other wing for a long time until this broken wing fully heals. If it’s outside in the wilderness, it might not survive.”“We’ll keep it with us then,” Steve said, and Jane didn’t look all that willing.The doctor, however, was happy to hear that. “Since you said you’ll keep the bird with you, I’ll do the surgery for free.”“Thank
In the sterling villa’s main hall, Brian’s mom noticed that Jacob and others were staring at the big television screen.“This must be Andrew’s doing,” Jacob blurted in anger. “He purposely put the murder blame on her because she left the villa. Now the police are going to be after her. Andrew doesn’t even need to do anything, and the cops are going to catch her and bring them to him.”Selena looked at her second son. “Why the hell did she leave? She even took the children with her! How can she be so stupid? Now she’ll need to keep escaping from the police. The children are going to be scared. Does she want to permanently scar them or what? She’s not even answering my calls. Call her, and tell her to come back.”Louis stood rigidly, with his arms folded across his chest. “She left the villa knowing that things like these will happen. If she can’t face the heat, she’ll come back on her own.” Saying that he walked away.“This guy…” Selena smacked her own forehead a little. “Is this the t
After treating the eagle, Jane and Steve were coming back to the hotel with the bird placed in the back seat inside a cage. Because it was drugged, the bird was still sleeping.“Do we really have to take care of this bird?” Jane stretched her voice as she drove the car.“I know we came here to enjoy ourselves, but this is also part of life. If we help this bird now, who knows, we may receive help from someone else in future,” Steve tried to reason with her.“I don’t believe in that karma crap,” Jane blurted. “It’s just made to control people’s minds.”“That may be the case, but it is true what we reap what we sow. If we do good, something good will happen to us sooner or later.”“And how do you know that? Personal experience?”“Yes.”“But my personal experience says otherwise. If we try to be friendly with someone, it only gives them the chance to backstab you, so your sowing-reaping philosophy utterly fails in this case,” Jane said.“Well, it actually doesn’t,” Steve said while combi
In Brian’s home, Brian came to the basement where there was a clone of Rebecca that looked very similar to her but not quite like her.“Hello, darling,” she greeted him with a smile and came to hug him, but he pushed her away.“Don’t. I’m not in the mood,” he said and began to check something on the computer.“If you’re not in the mood, then why did you come here?” she asked. “If you’re frustrated, I can help you.”“No, you can’t. You are a soulless trash,” he calmly said, making her smile fade away.“But you did give me intelligence, didn’t you?” she said. “I think I can do a better job than you think, Master Brian.”“No, you can’t. To be honest, I don’t feel that great after fucking you,” Brian said. “It leaves me with an empty feeling because I’m not doing it with the real thing, the real woman, the real Rebecca that I have feelings for. You’re nothing but a lump of silicon and metal.”“But I’m just like her in many ways, am I not?”“No, you’re not. You only look like her. You don’
Rebecca came walking fast into the backyard of the villa, to the spot where they buried what she believed was Benjamin.Louis also got there.She looked at him coldly. “Where’s the shovel?”“I don’t need one,” Louis said.“Are you trying to use your brute force to pull the body out?” she hissed at him. “What will you do if the body gets damaged? What if it’s not fake but the original body? Even if it’s fake, I don’t want it to get damaged for no reason, so go and bring a damn shovel.”“O-Okay,” Louis said and quickly left. After going some distance, he began to shake his head. “I can’t believe I’m going to dig up the soil with a shovel.”Rebecca, on the other hand, was standing right next to the grave. There were no pictures on the grave, but just the name of Benjamin and that was it, as they didn’t know when he was born.All the things she heard about Benjamin after she went abroad to the place where Brian told her, now came to her mind. “Stealing from a place and getting killed… th
A middle-aged lady entered the dungeon and sat in front of Benjamin’s cellar. He looked at her but said nothing. “Are you not even going to ask why I am here?” she asked. She was a tall woman with long earlocks. Benjamin replied a bit late. “What do you want… Uzza?” “I heard that in the land of Lille, there’s a woman named Rebecca, whom you’ve given your bite mark,” she frowned at him. “How can you give your power to some women outside the clan?” “First of all, she’s my wife,” Benjamin said, flipping the book he was reading and putting it down on the stone bed next to him. “She has every right to receive what’s mine. On top of that, she’s a loyal soul who’s trying to be perfect in her own way.” “But your dad said she let you suffer in her own house,” Uzza said. “She’s far from being loyal or perfect. She does not deserve your love or strength. You should choose Rye instead. She can give you seven sons and seven daughters in the next two decades. God willing, you can have multiple
“I don’t like saying silly things like the people in the outside world say about their love, Benjamin,” Rye told him. “Like saying my heart skips a beat when I see you, but it is true that your love made me feel invincible back then. Now, you want to say you don’t love me, and whatnot, but your love has grown deep roots in my heart. You can run away and fool around, try to desert me, but you won’t easily be able to shake my feelings for you. Nothing can change the way I feel about you. Even if you say you don’t love me… is that really the case?” Her words sounded more like she was threatening with her love. “Aunt Uzza is going to finish what she set out for,” Rye added. “She’s the one who has the same name as one of the fallen angels. Whether that’s a coincidence or not, she’s probably going to make Rebecca fall flat on her face. What are you going to do when you hear her cursing you? Will you still be able to say ‘I love you’ to her when she smiles at other men the way she’s suppose
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
