After the meals, Rebecca seemed fine, but Benjamin wasn’t looking happy because the food didn't taste good to his tongue. He couldn’t even call it average. And he wasted 500 dollars for unappetizing food which only looked good for the eyes but not for any other senses.The bill was 494 dollars.Benjamin gave the waiter five hundred dollars.It felt too little.The waiter made Benjamin aware of his disappointment with his subtle gesture.Benjamin patted the waiter’s shoulder and said, “Don’t see it as six dollars. See it as six hundred cents. Then you’ll unravel the mystery of money.”“Mystery?”“That one dollar to you is a hundred dollars to someone else,” Benjamin said. “One can even tell where the wind comes and goes, but who can tell where the fortune comes and goes?” Saying that he walked away.The waiter looked at Rebecca, hoping she might give him some money.“Why are you looking at me? Do you ask tips from everyone at the table? Don’t get ahead of yourself,” she retorted and th
Rebecca did not stop the car anywhere until she reached the Sterling villa.Once she got out and looked, Benjamin was not on top of the car.“Did he fall somewhere?” she frowned. “I was checking in the mirror, but I didn’t see him fall, though.” She went over to the other side of the car but didn’t find him, either. “He really fell?” she was walking away, but then Benjamin, who was hiding next to the car, suddenly jumped at her. “Kyaa!” Rebecca jumped on her toes, but then she immediately whipped her handbag at him. It was done purely out of reflex.Benjamin could have dodged,but he didn’t. As a result, the bag hit his face, and he fell down.“You almost scared me to death!” she fumed at him. “You deserved that.” Sht then ignored him and went into the villa.Benjamin quickly followed her.Rebecca saw him coming and told Selena, “Mom, today, he earned hundreds of dollars as tips. You can take it if you want, he said.”“Oh… he earned hundreds of dollars through tips?” Selena looked doub
Hundreds of miles high in the sky, on top of icy clouds.A group of three gray demons were cackling while sharing stolen treasures among themselves. The items included hair, nails, mobile, boots, blood, memories, panties, semen and much more.“I made that woman bleed early, so her blood will be mine.”“I make that boy stare at the mobile all the time, so this mobile will be mine.”“I gave that old man wet dreams for years, so his memories will be mine.”“Then what about me?” a fourth voice asked them.“You can have those stinky boots,” they gave him.“These boots might be too big for me,” Benjamin said.“Stop complaining and just take them,” they blurted, but then they turned their heads and looked at him. “Eek!” they all fell back as they didn’t sense his presence until now. “Y-Y-You’re…”“You lowly little shits dare to mess around in my place?” Benjamin’s fists released spiritual energy.“L-Let’s us leave! We won’t ever come to your villa,” they said and were flying away. Benjamin p
Benjamin came to the kitchen with the excitement to cook the best breakfast for Rebecca.Kathy was cooking in the kitchen.“I’ll cook for Rebecca, so don’t cook for her and me,” he told her.Kathy didn’t say anything.As Benjamin was cooking, a faint breeze blew past her, and her expression changed. She grabbed the knife and raised it and approached Benjamin from behind and stabbed his shoulder.The knife pierced his shoulder, and blood came out.Benjamin was shocked, but when he saw her face, he recognized that grin. “You bastard… You’re the Smiling Legion from last night, aren’t you?”“Kekeke,” Kathy grinned. Her hair stood on both ends and took the shape of horns. Her eyes turned black, and her fangs grew big as the possession took greater hold on her. “To think you could get stabbed by me… you must really be focused on cooking for your wife. What kind of things are you mixing in her food to make her like you?” She tried to stab him again, but Benjamin stopped her.“Shut up and get
Sheron was taken to the hospital. Devon told Delle and the other maids to take care of the needs while he was gone.But only Delle was working while Kathy and Amber relaxed in the dorms, wondering if their workload would increase if Sheron were to kick the bucket.Even though Sheron’s situation seemed really bad, no one in the villa really talked about it. Even Selena barely mentioned a word about her.Sheron worked in the villa for nearly two decades, so it was a bit of a shock for Benjamin that they didn’t seem to care about their head maid.“Did you buy the biscuits I asked you for?” Lisa asked Delle.“Yes,” Delle politely replied.“It’s not good to eat biscuits daily,” Benjamin voiced his mind. “They will badly affect your gut and digestion. It will cause long-term problems for you later on.”“Huh?” Lisa looked a bit bewildered as well as angered. “It’s one thing if you tell me to stop drinking soft drinks because there’s lots of sugar in them, but there’s nothing with eating some
In the red Porsche, Rebecca and Benjamin were heading to the hospital.Benjamin, who was sitting in the back, didn’t look happy.Rebecca could see that he was upset.“We don’t know if she’s dead or not, so why are you so worried?” she asked.“She died before the ambulance even got to the villa,” Benjamin said.Rebecca was surprised to hear that. “That’s why you want to visit the hospital, huh, because she died right before your eyes, you feel sad for her.”“She didn’t deserve to die like this, but she was struck dead,” Benjamin said. “That’s her fate. God gave her life, and he took it away. We cannot stop that.”Rebecca stopped the car at a flower shop and bought a bouquet of white roses. She gave the bouquet to him and said, “If she’s alive, give this to her. If she’s dead, then put it next to her.”“Why can’t you do it yourself?” Benjamin asked.“Just do it. Don’t ask unnecessary questions,” she said and continued to drive.Staring at the white roses which had not a single black spo
Rebecca came straight to the nearest hospital from their villa, expecting that Sheron was admitted there.And she was correct.However, Sheron wasn’t even taken into the ICU as the doctor had declared her dead. They tried CPR on her, but it didn’t work.As a result, Sheron’s body was on the stretcher now, with Devon crying over her. When Rebecca arrived there, the nurses were telling Devon to take his wife away.Rebecca rebuked them, saying, “Can’t you at least wait until he catches his breath? Are you nurses or monsters?”Rebecca's rich attire and richer beauty made it rather obvious that she was from some rich family, so the nurses didn’t raise their voices against her, even though they were definitely annoyed by her arrogance. After all, she was scolding the nurses in their hospital, which wasn’t something anybody would do and get away with.Devon saw Rebecca and stood. “Madam…” he didn’t expect Rebecca of all people to come.“I’m sorry for your loss, Devon,” she said and looked a
Benjamin was working late that night, delivering pizzas to party-goers between eleven and twelve o’clock.Some didn’t give him tips at all, but some gave him generously, so overall, it wasn’t a bad day in terms of earnings. He had to work more hours than usual, and he earned more than he usually did, too.After finishing the work, he was coming home in a bus.There was only Benjamin, a woman, and the driver in the bus.The woman seemed to be in her mid thirties, and she couldn’t take her eyes off of Benjamin. After some time, she ended up coming over and sitting next to him, but there was a gap between those two seats, where people could walk.“You look stunning,” she said. “Honestly, I’ve never seen a man with more pleasant features. Where have you been all this while?”Benjamin smiled and shook his head before showing her his wedding ring.“Oh, I’m married, too, but we can, you know, smash if you want to,” she said, biting her lower lip. “Make this the greatest night of my life.”“D
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
Rebecca knocked on a door.“Who is it?” Roshan asked from the inside, a hint of anxiety in his voice.“It’s me,” Rebecca replied. “Open the door. I’ll just have a quick few words with you, that’s all.”“A-Aunt, I don’t want to talk to you right now,” Roshan replied. “Please go.”“I’ll talk with him,” Benjamin told her in a low voice. Rebecca then walked away and stopped at a certain distance.A minute later, Benjamin knocked on the door.“Hey, I’m Benjamin,” he said. “Can I talk to you?”“No, I’m busy right now,” Roshan answered.“It’ll only take a minute,” Benjamin persisted. “I won’t bother you afterward.”“Tsk,” Roshan, annoyed, walked over to the door.Benjamin knocked on the door again.Roshan quickly opened the door with a hostile look. “What?”Benjamin smiled and stepped closer and put his arm around Roshans’s shoulder. He then shut the door from behind him and even locked it without looking back.“W-What are you doing?” Roshan nervously asked.Even Rebecca, who was outside, co
Veronica just finished bathing and was putting on one of those sexy outfits designed by her sister in the past. It revealed the entire midsection of the body, but hid everything else.Though Akash found it sexy, he said, “You really are not wearing that in the home, right?”“What’s wrong if I wear it?” Veronica retorted. “This isn’t even that revealing.”“Look at yourself in the mirror. It feels like I might catch a glimpse of your underboob if you were to raise your arms,” Akash said.Veronica squinted her eyes. “I’m wearing a bra underneath, you idiot. You know nothing about fashion. I’ve been bearing with your stupidity for a while now, but if I can’t even wear this type of clothing, then you should consider going back home and complaining to your parents about it! Because you need to really grow up!” After blurting out her anger through her words, she snorted and left the room.Standing by the balcony, she watched her father talking to guests downstairs.“This is meat tea, which D
Selena came to Elizabeth’s room, when both Shawn and Elizabeth were present. She put a briefcase down on the bed and opened it.Elizabeth and her mother were shocked, as it was full of hundred dollar bills.“2 million dollars. Spend it carefully,” Selena told them. “Invest in some companies or buy some land if you want.”“Mother,” Elizabeth emotionally hugged Selena because she needed this money very much as she was planning on starting her accessory selling business. “Thank you so much!”Selena was a bit surprised because she knew how shameless Elizabeth could be, so she wasn’t expecting Elizabeth to get emotional like this. Still and all, Selena didn’t completely buy the emotions Elizabeth displayed right now.“Shawn, this money should also help you start a small insurance company,” Selena told him. “You don’t have to worry about finding a place for it because I can help you get a building next to Chen Complex.”“Chen Complex?” Shawn was quite surprised, whereas Elizabeth covered he
Benjamin was in the backyard, simply spending his time sitting next to the flower plants, taking in their different scents.He remembered the first night he met Rebecca. She sweetly called him Ben, a shortcut for Benjamin.“Ben sounds sweet, for sure, but about a month after marriage, there was a time when she called me Bunny because I was dumb enough to not take advantage of her even though we were sleeping in the same room. I didn’t quite get what she was saying at the time, but now that I’ve met and talked to more women of this world in the past year, I feel like Rebecca was waiting for me to make the first move? Or was she just trying to test me? It’s still hard to tell.”The women on Sciocidad weren't like this. They were all straightforward and meant what they said.So, why were the women in the outside world like this? Why would they think and speak so differently?Benjamin saw Rebecca coming in his direction, so he took out a mobile from his pocket. It resembled the old flip p
