After eating the food, Benjamin washed the dishes and began to do all the household chores even though nobody had told him to do it.He had never done something like washing other’s dishes before, but he was doing it to the best of his ability as he wanted to win over his wife’s family members.Benjamin wanted to finish a lot of work before Rebecca arrived home.But before that, Selena came downstairs and talked with him, “Why did you skip work today? Is it because you have to give the money you earn over to me?”“No, Mother…in-law,” Benjamin hesitantly said. “I overslept, and…”“Overslept?” Selena frowned because she thought that Benjamin and Rebecca might have overworked last night. “My daughter woke up like she does everyday and went to work. Yet, you are so careless. I guess, it doesn’t matter much even if you lose your shitty job. Am I correct?”“No, I care about my job, Mother-in-law,” he quickly said. “It was just a mistake today.”Selena stepped closer. “I don’t know what sor
After Rebecca came home, Benjamin didn’t tell her that her mother was admonishing him unfairly, as he didn’t want Rebecca to feel bad and annoyed because she came from long hours of work. He didn’t tell her what Elizabeth had done, either, by locking the door and trying to trap him in the room for who knew how long?However, when Rebecca asked him the question, ‘Where were you last night?’ he felt like he was perhaps doing the wrong thing by keeping things to himself. Since Rebecca was deeply craving honesty as well as transparency, why not tell her the truth?And then Benjamin explained to her what had happened last night,Rebecca raised her eyebrows. “You’re telling me that you went out to buy a sim card, and some people threatened you and took you to a casino, where you dealt with the gangsters and returned home?”“Yep, I didn’t tell you every detail, but that’s the gist of it,” Benjamin said.Rebecca grabbed his hand and checked his knuckles. “I don’t see any bruises. How do you e
Later that night.Rebecca was coming down for dinner, so Benjamin accompanied her even though he wasn’t hungry.Just when he arrived at the table, Veronica told Amber, “Buy ten toilet rolls in the morning.”“What do you need ten rolls for?” Selena asked. “Didn’t you buy a dozen a month ago?”“Mom, I used more. What’s the big deal? It’s just toilet paper,” Veronica said. “Don’t tell me, you can’t even afford this much.”“The money is not the issue,” Selena hissed. “It’s your attitude that’s the problem. I’m your mom, so I’ll bear it even if you yell at me unreasonably, but you think your husband will bear it when you talk with him so unacceptably?”“Why not? Isn’t Brother Benjamin bearing your insults without any problem?” Veronica said.Elizabeth spilled her drink, and everyone else at the table were also surprised by Veronica’s boldness. Veronica would rarely talk back to her mother, but it looked like she got annoyed because her mother was arguing with her about mere toilet rolls.S
For the next few days, the workload escalated to the aether for Benjamin. Not only did he have to work as a delivery guy during the day time, he came home and had to take part in cooking along with the maids who showed their attitude before him, especially Amber and Kathy who were cousins. If not for Sheron keeping them in check, they would have made his life even harder.Benjamin understood that the maids did not respect him much anymore now that he stepped into the kitchen to cook. After all, nobody in the sterling family would enter the kitchen to cook. He was the first one who was told to cook. Since he was being treated with not much respect by Selena and Elizabeth, the maids also naturally learned from that and began to stop doing their work and push all that load onto Benjamin.For instance, Amber was the one who used to wash the dishes after every meal, but now, Amber was giving the excuse that she was having a headache, and she told Benjamin to take care of it.Kathy told him
Benjamin put the towel on the homeless man who then immediately grabbed Benjamin’s arm and tried to steal whatever that was in his pockets.Rebecca was shocked to see that. “Hey, stop!” she was stepping out. The thief took Benjamin’s mobile out. It was a button mobile, so he threw it away and checked the other pocket while wrestling with him. He found some cash in that other pocket. He quickly pushed Benjamin away and was running, but Benjamin bent down, grabbed the towel, and threw the towel like a rope and it knotted itself around the thief’s ankle, making him fall flat on his face, thereby injuring his nose.Benjamin took his money from him and then let him run away.“Why did you let him go?” Rebecca asked him quickly. “You should have held him down until the cops arrived. I already called them, you know.”“Forget it. He seems mentally disturbed,” Benjamin said and then put the towel back at the place where the homeless man had been resting, where there was a small plastic bag. He
After Benjamin went into the kitchen, Rebecca went straight to her room.She grabbed a towel and a pair of clothes before entering the bathroom. “Mom is clearly angry at me for marrying without telling them. She can’t take her anger out on me, so she’s targeting Benjamin. Watching him getting slapped is hurting me, so I’m sure it should be hurting him a lot more, but he’s not complaining, so why should I involve myself and complicate things even more?”A few seconds passed.“But the fact that Mom slapped him… it leaves a bad taste in my heart,” she thought. “How can she just slap a grown man for silly reasons? She never slapped dad even though he did things that deserve more than slapping. Why is she taking out all her frustration on Benjamin? Elizabeth, her parents and her children, and even the maids are not treating him, yet he’s absorbing everything thrown at him like a sponge. I’ve never seen someone as unruffled as him.“And he’s surprisingly honest. He could have easily done a
“The more pride, the better.The more greed, the better.The more violence, the better.The more pain, the better.The more blood, the better.The more lies, the better.”A voice had been reciting these words in the heads of Vlad and Mercie in their sleep, and their fingers were trembling and jerking as a result.Louis and Bella were too busy with their own affairs to notice what was happening to their children right now.Benjamin was still outside, but he was able to see the children right through the walls. “They are under demonic attack.” He looked at the sky. There was no moon or stars for that matter. “A new moon night, huh. This is when they’re at their peak of hunger...”He stood there and waited and waited for more than an hour just in case the children might lose their consciousness and turn into full-blooded monstrous vampires and go on a rampage and kill everyone and everything in sight.He couldn’t interfere because their parents were with them in that same room, so all Be
The next morning.Rebecca woke up. Almond milk was waiting for her on the table. Did Benjamin leave the milk there? The vapors were still coming out from the milk, so he must have put it there recently, she thought.Pista and almond bits floated at the top. And these bits made the letters ‘L U.’Rebecca was not surprised by it as she had seen it before. But after seeing this, she was sure that the maids did not leave the milk there. She never asked the maids to cook anything for her before because most of them slept with her dad. So she only ever talked to them to make them do some housework. That was all. She never happily ate the food made by them.But after Benjamin started making more of the dishes every day, she asked him what dishes he made and began to selectively eat those dishes because she wanted to avoid eating the food made by the maids. Moreover, the dishes Benjamin made were tastier and made her feel healthier. She had no idea how he was able to cook this well, but she c

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
