The cloud Uzza was on was traveling fast through the sky. As she was on top of the bermuda triangle, she saw a rocket come and crash into the ocean.“They are at it again…” she muttered. “Mm?” she looked back, and gray fog was gathering behind her. She was startled for a second but then said, “What do you want?”“Let me in,” a voice whispered in her head. “I’ll help you get what you want.”“Hmph, you think I’ll depend on a demon to get what I want?” she snorted. “Don’t flatten yourself.”“But you need me, buffalo aunt,” the demon whispered from behind.Uzza’s nerves in the head thickened. “If I’m a buffalo, then you’re worse than the flea that’s on the butt of a buffalo. Get lost from my sight before I lose my patience and kick you down to where all that rocket and space-shuttle crap is lying deep in the ocean.”“I’ll always be around, so you only need to say my name, which is Rock…” the voice whispered as the fog went up into the sky. “A rock that goes up must come down. And if you’r
“Don’t be bothered by this dog Andrew’s barkings, Madam Selena,” Hazel comforted her. “He’s definitely dangerous, but I don’t think he’s foolish enough to keep messing with you before the elections.”“Yes, but if he wins the elections, then I’ll be doomed,” Selena worriedly said. “My whole family will be doomed. We’ll all be done for.”“Even if he becomes the president, he won’t be able to touch you since we’ll be siding with his opponents,” Hazel replied. “If someone throws stones at you, you shouldn’t throw them all back at him but must use some of those stones to build a basement under your feet so that you will slowly but surely gain the advantage of height. Once you have enough high ground, you’ll be able to crush him with a deadly blow at once!”Selena pursed her lips together. “I love what you said, but would such a plan be practically possible? Against a presidential candidate, much less against a running president? What if Andrew gets pissed off and conspires with some foreig
The bioscientist Jonathan Egor came to his underground laboratory after talking with Andrew Sehla. His wife, Denise, was waiting for him in the Bluebeam Zone. Zakaria and Cranston were also there, but they were busy interacting with the extremely-realistic holograms of movie stars, though they thought it was a pity that they couldn’t suck blood out of these stars as they were mere holograms. “How is this Andrew guy?” Denise asked. “He’s not aware of how deep the swamp really is,” Jonathan said. “He didn’t go through the trauma in his childhood that most of the other presidents, but… he’ll be useful. Since some change is necessary once in a while, we will make him the president.” “Mm, but I bet he’ll be thinking that he’s going to be the one using you, having no clue that we are the one who’ll be using him,” Denise remarked. Jonathan looked in the direction of Zakaria who was shoving his face in the ass of a female actress’ hologram. “What’s that punk doing?” “You’ve made realisti
Rebecca woke up, only to find herself in her room.“Don’t make any scene,” Louis’ voice reached her. He wasn’t even around, yet his voice could be heard in her head. “I’ve put the casket back in and told others nothing happened, other than that you wanted to see his face once again. They believed it, so act appropriately. We need to find out what’s going on. Until then, confronting your mom or anyone won’t get you anywhere.”Rebecca touched her forehead because it was hurting quite a bit.If she saw either Benjamin’s corpse, or a clone’s body in the casket, it would have been understandable, but there was nothing inside.Rebecca just couldn’t get her head around it. Thinking about it only hurt her head more. She came to her window and kept staring toward the grave.Minutes passed as she put her brain to work. But she could not piece things together. The thought that Brian might be behind this didn’t even cross her mind. After all, Brian was nothing more than a businessman in her mind.
All the police that had left the Sterling villa were found dead at a gangster hideout. It was reported that they got into an argument regarding the shares they should get, and that led to shooting.Andrew went out of his way to post his opinion about this online. “What do you call those who are supposed to serve and protect people end up harassing and abusing them instead? The police that don’t deserve a badge on their shoulders. If I become the president, I will not let these kinds of police be in the system. After all, if the president didn’t want police like these four fools, then the government wouldn’t want them, either. It’s so easy to purify the world when you have power, people, so choose the guy who can do miracles for you, not ones who say one thing but do another thing or nothing at all.”His post received likes in hundreds of thousands, for the public had no idea that Andrew himself was the one behind the death of these police officers.The reality of the situation was exa
Uzza had been in the lower world long enough to know and even sometimes witness all the wicked deeds that vampires so often committed. From kidnapping and sexually abusing to killing and torturing their targets or just innocent civilians, she had seen all the horrors the world had to offer. So, she had no pity on these vampires. No, not one bit. Despite knowing that Louis was a member of the Sterling family, she did not care to spare him, for her disgust toward vampires was just that high. “Don’t think I’ll just kill you and be done with it,” Uzza said. “I’ll find your wife and kids and kill them, too. Children they may be, but they’re still very much capable of ripping other childrens’ hearts out and gorging on them like snacks. I can’t let any humans that turned into cannibalistic monsters live, even if they’re children who still smell of milk. After all, once a monster, they will always pose danger. Like a dog returning to its vomit, they’ll give into their desires whether they
Five-hundred million dollars. This was a number big enough to scare every single soul living in Sterling villa. Jacob was no exception. When they heard what Uzza had to say, they were all left speechless. Nobody even dared to say a word against her recklessly because they still had no idea who exactly she was. Lisa came to tell her grandmother Dorothy about Uzza, “There’s some bear-like lady who says that Uncle Benjamin owes her 500 million. Since he’s not around, she says she’ll take this home in return.” “H-How can she do that?” Dorothy couldn’t believe it. “This house isn’t worth 500 million, Grandma,” Lisa added. “She says that we can stay here for three more months and then move out.” “T-That’s…” Dorothy went speechless. “Mom bought a house not long ago, right?” Lisa added. “We’ll all move into that house.” “How can that house compare to this one?” Dorothy hissed. “We can’t let this house go no matter what. What did Selena say?” “She passed out first, but since waking up,
A few hours had passed since Uzza entered the villa, and Rebecca didn’t wake up yet.Uzza was walking around in the building, and she reached Veronica’s room. She saw Akash who was sleeping next to the bed.Veronica was still tied up, but she requested Uzza in a soft voice, “Please untie me. These people are abusing me.”“One of your eyes is smaller than the other, and your pupil is changing shape” Uzza said, “which means that the eye that got smaller had been infiltrated by a potent parasite. How do I know that it’s not the parasite talking to me right now?”“I will give you whatever you want if you help me,” Veronica said.“Whatever I want, huh…” Uzza smiled. “Will you do everything I tell you to do?”“I will,” Veronica quickly said.Uzza paused for a second and then snapped her fingers. The clothes that were tying her to the bed posts were snapped in two, leaving Veronica a bit speechless.“Don’t get any funny ideas and just follow me,” Uzza said and walked away.“Who is this woman
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
