Rebecca was at work in her office cabin.One of her colleagues approached her and asked her out, “Will you go out with me?”“Sorry, I cannot.”He frowned. “You cannot? Or you will not?”“Both,” she indifferently replied and walked away.He was very offended by it because he was more experienced in the field than her. And he was a handsome man who dated many models all the time. “This bitch is so arrogant just because she earns more salary than me! But every bitch has their G-chord. I just need to find it, and she’ll be mine.”A few minutes later.Rebecca came to the cafeteria. Even though she did not like the lunch here, she had no other choice but to eat the ones she could.As she was busy eating alone, a couple of her female colleagues approached her. “Hey, Rebecca, is it true that you rejected Cavin? Everyone’s talking about it.”“I did reject him, and it’s not worth talking about,” she replied.“How can you say that? Every woman wants to sit in his car and go for a drive with him,
“No offense, but how can you clear our debt?” the dad asked quickly. His voice contained some hope even though he believed that Benjamin might not be telling the truth. “It’s not a small amount. With interest, it’s nearly 932,000 dollars.”“I can take care of it, but what about what I asked in return?” Benjamin queried.The dad looked at his family and then looked back at Benjamin and said, “We will no try to commit suicide again.”“No matter what happens?”“Yes.”“Even if you suffer losses in your business again?”The dad still nodded in agreement. “I promise.”“Don’t promise. Just say yes or no.”“Yes.”“Mm,” Benjamin told them to write their details on a piece of paper. He then went out of the house and changed the sim card in his mobile. Though he had left the other belongings at the shop, he kept the sim card with himself. He made a call to a particular number.“This is Southern Society. Who is speaking?” a female voice came from the other side.“The wolf that flies in heaven,” B
Rebecca was working, and Cavin entered the hall and announced. “I just got a promotion, so I’ve ordered a big cake. I’m sending pieces to every cabin, so feel free to enjoy them.”A piece of cake was sent to her cabin as well.The cake looked very good on the eye. Its many layers and its fragrance pulled Rebecca’s eyes and nose.She just broke a tiny piece and tasted it. “Mm, not bad.”A few minutes passed.A peon came to check every cabin to collect the paper bowls in which the cakes were delivered. Every cabin had dustbins, but the peon still asked everyone.Eventually, he came to Rebecca’s cabin. “Ma’am, you still haven’t eaten the cake?”“You can take it.”“Me? No, no. How can I eat your cake?” he shook his head.“It’s better than throwing it in the dustbin,” she replied.“Then I’ll take it,” he took the cake and went away.Moments later, Cavin came to the peon and asked, “Did she eat it?”The peon shook his head. “I think she only ate a little piece at the edge.”Cavin gritted hi
Rebecca sat down and leaned her head onto her hand as she kept staring at the pizza boxes. She looked angry.“I’ve always refused to eat food that others give me. They think of me as being arrogant and what not. If I offer them pizzas now, what will they think of me?” she kept shaking her head.These boxes were too big to be thrown in the dustbin, and she didn’t want to carry them out of her room, either.She pressed a button attached to the table. And the alarm outside her cabin rang and glowed.The peon heard that and came to her room.“Throw these boxes in the dustbin,” she told him without even looking at him.“Ma’am, they're worth over 200 dollars,” he said. “Are you sure you want to throw them away?”Rebecca frowned. A part of her conscience was hurting her mind. Benjamin left these here, so is it right to just throw them away? “You know what? Just distribute slices of those to the staff, but don’t tell anyone that they are from me.”“Okay, ma’am,” the peon quickly distributed t
Rebecca and Benjamin reached the villa.Benjamin noticed only now that the broken car window was replaced with a new one. Rebecca was very good when it came to maintenance, so the car looked like a new one even though it was more than a four year old car.Rebecca was the first to enter the villa.Benjamin saw Selena coming down the stairs. (This woman… is she not busy with anything else? How does she exactly come at the right time?)“How much did you earn today?” Selena asked him aloud while Rebecca was still around so that she could also hear and see everything.“U-Um, today was a bad day,” Benjamin said. “I didn’t earn much.” He took out the money from his pocket and put it in her hand.“Mm?” Selena saw the single note and frowned. “One dollar?” she briefly glanced at her daughter. “Are you seeing this Rebecca? He earned one freaking dollar after working for eight hours. This has gotta be the biggest achievement I have witnessed in a long while.” She crumpled the dollar bill and acc
The next morning.Selena had Shiron prepare a hot frying pan, and then she made Oliver touch that pan a dozen times. In doing so, his skin and flesh got burnt. He cried like a bitch.He had told Selena that the dogs ate the drugs but for some reason, they didn’t attack Benjamin.Obviously, Selena didn’t believe his story and wanted him to give her the money back. He asked her for a month’s time, to which she agreed, but she didn’t let him get away with just that. She made sure to teach him a lesson so that he wouldn’t ever take her words for granted again.At the breakfast table, Selena saw that Benjamin was standing behind Rebecca. “You look fine. Did you eat something while I wasn’t watching?”“I just washed my face, Mother-in-law,” Benjamin explained himself. “That’s why I probably look okay, but I’m actually hungry.”“Hmph, if you were really hungry, you should have secretly eaten some dog food,” Elizabeth said. “No one would have cared.”“Pfft,” Dorothy burst into laughter. Lisa
About forty minutes later, Benjamin finished washing the dishes as fast as he could and then quickly rushed out.“Yesterday, Christopher yelled at me a lot, so I shouldn’t give him any chance today,” Benjamin thought.Seeing him running out, Selena harrumphed in disgust. She had slapped him for a third time because he asked her if she wanted to be washed like the dishes. “He’s not a mouse but rather a quiet cat that’s keeping its claws hidden. That’s the feeling I’m getting from him. And he’s shameless. Even after I slapped him, he didn’t say a word. He’s making it more difficult for me. If this keeps on, I feel like I’m the one that degrade to get him out of this building.” She looked at this hand. “After all, I had to touch a toilet cleaner three times. That’s not good no matter how I look at it. There’s a beast hidden in me. I hope he won’t wake up that beast, or even I don’t know what kind of things I will do to him.”Meanwhile, Benjamin quickly rushed out of the villa and was loo
About an hour after Benjamin left for work, Elizabeth came down the stairs and greeted her mother-in-law who was applying raw, unpasteurized milk to her skin.“I’m going to the mayor’s party. Do you want me to bring anything for you?” she asked Selena. “Wait,” she waved her hand before her nose. “What’s this nasty smell?”“Mm? It’s not from the milk,” Selena sniffed the air and then her gaze shifted toward the dustbin. “It must be from the pizza box in the dustbin. I threw it there yesterday.”“What? Pizza is smelling this bad in just one day?” Elizabeth blurted. “That’s horrible. Just what shop it was ordered from?” Her shoulders shivered. She called for the maids and told them to clear the dustbin right away. And then she went her way.“Why is my daughter-in-law smart in useless things and stupid in everything else?” Selena wondered. “Most of the burgers and pizzas and donuts you buy outside will look the same even if you store them in a box for a few weeks. But this pizza started s
Veronica brought Akash with her to dinner. Almost everybody was present at the dinner table after a very long time.New tables were arranged because there were more people now.Veronica could see that Akash was not taking his eyes off Benyamin. “Why are you staring at him nonstop?” she asked in a low voice.“He’s tall, handsome, and so fair. Even his hands are so shiny. How’s that possible for a man?” Akash sounded quite envious. “Men are not supposed to look so good-looking, right?”“Mm…” Veronica looked at Benyamin and felt the same. “He does look like a million bucks, but he doesn’t seem to have much muscle on his body. What’s the point of being tall when you don’t have enough muscle? You only look like you have inadequate genes.”“Not every man can be built heavy like the men in your family.”“Haha, you’re right,” Veronica was proud of her brothers and dad because they were tall and big and good-looking. Their jaws alone would melt the gazes of many women, after all.Rye and Benjam
Benyamin couldn’t go upstairs with Rebecca because he refused to tell Selena what he was doing all these days.Selena wouldn’t have allowed him to go past her unless he gave her proof, so he settled with staying in the dorms for the time being.Rebecca dressed up very nicely and attended dinner. Because Benyamin wasn’t present, she was about to visit the dorms, but Selena told her to sit at the table.Selena sent Delle to go and bring Benyamin, saying sarcastically that he might otherwise get lost.Rebecca sat down and waited patiently. (Why didn’t he just tell her what happened? Things would have been easier if he told her everything. What does he have to hide?)Meanwhile, at the dorms.Benjamin and Rye were both present in the same hall as Shadow. Rye was silent, and Benjamin was doing the talking.“What is your relationship with Rebecca?” he asked Shadow.“Obviously, I’m her husband,” Shadow replied. “Don’t you know that already?”Benjamin frowned. “Stop joking.”“I’m not joking. W
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
