Hi, guys. Please do try my novel Jim is Him, which is going to be finished in two to three months at best. The story happens in the same world as this novel, and it tackles more on the demon-related worldbuilding. I see that reader Liwhundebe Emmanuel has tried it, and I hope you're enjoying the novel. Thanks, and Cheers.
Jacob thought a lot about what to do with the current situation, and then he came to meet Uzza who was spending most of her time in the garden.“Do you have time to spare, ma’am?” he asked her.“I always have time,” Uzza said while she put a finger into the earth. “If not, I’ll make some time. So, go on.”Jacob didn’t know what Uzza was doing, but she was actually removing the acidic nature of the soil so that the bacteria would die and the plants would grow faster. This was her way of paying the trees back for the food she had eaten. When she pulled her finger out, it turned blue.“A-Are you alright?” Jacob was shocked by the color of her finger. “Did you get bitten by some spider or something?”“No, I’m totally fine,” Uzza squeezed her forefinger with the other hand, and a drop of liquid came out from underneath her finger nail. She flicked it away into the sky, and the drop of liquid never fell to the ground.“I have seen some crazy things with my own eyes,” Jacob said, “but I’ve n
Though Louis and Andrew had warned each other on phone, they couldn’t meet on that same night for multiple reasons. Louis had Uzza enter the Sterling villa, so he couldn’t leave. At the same time, Andrew also had some personal things to worry about because his son and daughter-in-law were quarreling a lot and were bringing shame to his name.Also, because of a cylone storm heading in their direction, the winds were whipping strong near the Sterling villa, strong enough to uproot the fruit and vegetable shop tent that Akash had built.The storm outside brought the people inside the villa close together.Most of them gathered in the hall and were talking about many things. Because the doors and windows were shut, it was rather calm inside.And Rebecca asked Uzza a question nobody expected, “Did you get married?”It was such a personal question that could easily offend someone, so everyone thought Uzza might get angry at Rebecca.“No, I haven’t,” Uzza said.“Then, do you have children?”
The storm was going strong. Many of the plants in the garden of the villa got uprooted and swept away, but surprisingly the grass was still able to stay where it was.Uzza was sitting on the balcony, under an extended ceiling, so that she stayed just out of the reach of the rain.“It’s funny how the big things fall first when the storm hits,” she thought to herself while drinking sweet and hot almond milk that went well with the rain.Amber and Kathy were wondering from the inside of the building why Uzza was sitting outside in such harsh weather.“Isn’t she afraid of getting hit by an object that comes flying in the wind?” Kathy blurted.“I would be. It’s better to stay indoors in this weather. She’s either reckless or just plain stupid,” Amber commented.“How long is this rain going to be there?”“I don’t know, but I heard that woman saying it will last for a day or two.”“That’ll destroy the whole damn garden!” Kathy cried out because she wouldn’t be able to earn money anymore. “Wh
Lisa came to her dad and asked, “Dad, can you give me some money?”“What for?” Shawn asked.“I’m learning some courses online, so…”Shawn liked what she said because she was focused on learning subjects even when a storm was rampaging outside. “I don’t have any money in my account,” he said because his accounts were frozen by the court after his recent case proved him guilty. But he got away with fine and not punishment, thanks to the influence of his parents as well as his own connections, some of which had to do with him promising others that they might have a chance at marrying Rebecca if they helped him. “But I will ask your mom and give it to you.”“Okay. Send it to my account, Dad,” Lisa said, then gave him a hug and quickly went to her room. She was still a minor, but she still had a bank account which was jointly opened with Rebecca. Neither Shawn nor Elizabeth knew of this, though.Shawn came to Elizabeth and asked her, “Do you have some money?”“How much?” Elizabeth, who was
Lisa told Rebecca everything that had happened.Rebecca used her mobile to talk in the group chat and see what exactly they were asking her to do, and it didn’t take her more than a minute to come to the decision that these people were just scammers.“Sorry, Lisa. Your money is gone,” Rebecca told her.Lisa was brought to tears. “How can I be so stupid? Dad gave me that money when I said I’ll use it for learning online courses. What will he think if he knows that it’s all spent?”“It’s okay. It’s only 10,000 dollars. I’ll add the money into your account,” Rebecca told her, making Lisa so emotional that she hugged Rebecca and cried some more and apologized to her for being so stupid. “What’s done is done, but let us go and file a complaint to the police.”“W-What?” Lisa was shocked. “I-If we do that, my dad will know. He will kill me.”“But we have to do it so that the police will look into it, and they’ll have the accounts of these scammers freezed,” Rebecca said, “at the least.”Rebe
Hours passed, but the storm was still very much there.Kathy already cried enough, and she didn’t have anymore tears left to shed after seeing the damage the winds did to her plants. Leaves and branches were everywhere. All the banana trees had collapsed. The beautiful garden now looked ugly and messy.Amber tried to comfort her cousin, but Kathy didn’t stop cursing the weather. She even blamed Akash for not doing anything.“What can he do when the storm is so rough and strong?” Amber reasoned with her.“So many bananas were wasted, Amber,” Kathy cried out. “Had he fixed supports for them properly, they would have withstood the storm.”“I don’t think so. The banana plants are delicate, Kathy. Don’t you think you’re blaming Akash because you don’t have anyone else to blame?”“Shut up, Amber. If you spent hours of time every day on those plants, you’d be scolding him right now, too! Even more than I do.”Amber didn’t say anything afterward. She could only hope that the storm would go aw
At Drake’s restaurant.Jim and his dad Marcus were busy competing with each other, trying to cook spinach and prawns together. There were no customers because of the storm. Yes, they kept their restaurant open even in the middle of a massive storm. And they were ready to serve in case a customer were to enter their place.However, because there were no customers right now, they were just passing time by challenging each other in various ways.After they finished cooking the dish, they tasted both the dishes, and Jim began to shake his head straight away. “We both used the same ingredients. I even copied the exact amount of salt and spices you used. But how is it that yours tastes much better than mine?”“If just adding ingredients is enough to make a dish, then everybody can work as a chef in a five-star hotel,” Marcus chortled. “Let me tell you why the dish you made is average. The most important mistake you made is you added too much water. For prawns, you don’t need to add as much
Somewhere else in the country.Andrew walked many miles and finished his campaigning in that city and even distributed food, drinks, and free money to some poor people. His stunts made the news related to him go viral, and the people that doubted him, saying he was too old to be the president had gone silent now.Andrew later stopped by a large shelter where the homeless people were being allowed to stay. This place used to be a prison in the past.Andrew along with Brandon Conreid talked with the homeless people and captured it on the videos to later telecast the whole thing.As he was talking with a group of people, one of them raised his hand and asked, “Mr. Andrew, you’re a billionaire. There are only a few hundred people in this camp. If you just wish it, you can easily allot us flats in a remote place. It wouldn’t even cost as much compared to the mega yachts you buy every year. If you can give us a roof over our heads, we’ll definitely vote for you and even tell everyone we kn
THANK YOU::Savvy Son-in-law… It took nearly two and half years to finish this book. In all honesty, I was planning to end it for 600 chapters or so, but I ended up taking this long to finish it.A big thanks to all the readers who followed the character of Benjamin from the start to finish.Special thanks to Cranston Richmond for his long support through votes. I hope reading this novel impacts your life in a positive way.I also thank all the other readers who voted for this novel. There are so many names to list, so I’m not going to spam here.CHARACTERS::I hope you can take away some memorable characters from this novel, whether they be good or bad.My personal favorite would be George. Just kidding, lol.It is Benjamin.His character wasn’t easy to write because he’s predictably unpredictable. He’s not perfect, but he’s trying to do the right thing, and that’s what matters to him.What about you? Who inspired, or impressed you?LOOSE ENDS::What about Veronica and Akash? Well, V
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
