The next morning.Rebecca woke up, only to see Selena sitting on the edge of her bed. “What brought you here so early, Mom?” she asked in a voice.“Nothing. I just wanted to see your face,” Selena could see that only part of the bed had folds, which made her wonder if Benjamin was sleeping on the couch. To support her theory, Benjamin’s bag was still next to the couch.Rebecca slowly sat up.“Is this enough for the two of you?” Selena asked. “If you want, you can move to a bigger room. We can remodel one of the guest rooms, and…”“It’s okay, Mom. We’re fine with this room,” she said.Selena noticed something in Rebecca’s head. “Wait, is this gray hair?” she quickly leaned closer and observed it. “I-It really is a gray hair, Rebecca.”“Yeah,” Rebecca said, not at all surprised as she had noticed it already. “It’s just one hair.”“No, you shouldn’t neglect it,” Selena quickly said. “I didn’t get gray hair until I turned forty five. I was stressed a lot, too, you know. But I do exercises

At the dining table in the morning.Everyone was very surprised by how good the items tasted. With Sheron gone, Benjamin took it upon himself to cook everything. Though his dishes weren’t as eye-pleasing as Sheron’s, they were so much tastier. Even the eggs were boiled perfectly, in that they were still soft after boiling.Selena didn’t want to admit it, but this was better than what she ate in the five-star hotels.She wanted to keep eating, but she had to control herself.“Did you cook everything, Uncle?” Lisa asked Benjamin.“Yeah, is it good?” he asked.“It is decent,” Lisa said, but she couldn’t help but think back about the pizza that he had tried to offer last evening. Benjamin had told her that he put a lot of effort into making it, so she wished that she hadn’t rejected it. After all, she was a foodie. “If you want, you can bring me a pizza this evening.”Benjamin was pleasantly surprised to hear that. “I will definitely bring one for you,” he said, even though a special pizz

Rebecca dropped Benjamin at Rye’s Pizzas. As he got out of the car, she said, “You did well, supporting my sister. I think her attitude toward you will change from now on. I can tell.”“I didn’t do it so she’d treat me better,” Benjamin replied. “I did it because I’m her brother-in-law. Since her brothers were not helping her, I believed that at least I should. Lisa and Roshan wanted pizzas. Do you want one as well?”“You know my answer,” she said. “I don’t eat-”“Fast food. Yeah, I know,” Benjamin waved his hand at her and walked away. He walked past a fat woman who was coming out of the nearby gym. She was struggling to open her bottle cap, so he went over and opened it for her. He then seemed to have shared a few words with her before leaving.And the fat lady began to get emotional and shed tears.Rebecca saw that and quickly stepped out of the car and approached her. “Are you okay?”“Yes, I’m fine,” the fat woman wiped her tears away.“I saw a guy talking with you. Did he say som

Rebecca came to her office that morning and was working, but something had been making her think.She was not able to work properly, and so she took a little break and called Jane’s number.Jane didn’t answer.“Tsk, it looks like she hasn't woken up yet,” Rebecca thought. “It’s ten o’clock, though. She probably slept around four or five in the morning after getting what she wanted. This woman thinks she’s living her life but is just letting guys run through her. She’s obsessed with guys so much that she even went outside to have fun. She’s become a sex addict now. I feel bad for her.”She went and sat back at her desk.About two hours later, Jane called her back.“Did you just wake up right now?” Rebecca asked. “Please tell me you’re not in someone’s bed right now.”“Haha, you know how it is,” Jane laughed. “Yesterday, I met a guy who works at a hedge fund. I thought he’d be boring, but he’s very good with his math and joking skills. He paid for my drinks, and I went home with him to

In the evening.Rebecca arrived at Rye’s Pizzas.And he saw the fat woman talking with Benjamin outside the store. “What was her name again? Leyla or something?” Rebecca frowned. “She said she’s not interested, but look at what she’s doing now…” she gripped tightly onto the steering wheel. She wanted to get out and roast that woman right there in front of Benjamin, but she sat in the car and waited to see how long they’d keep talking.“Diet is indeed important, but your breathing also matters a lot,” Benjamin was talking with Leyla. “I’ve noticed that you’re breathing more through your mouth. That’s not a good thing to do. Our noses are built to pressurize, heat up, moisten, and filter the air, so that we end up absorbing a lot of oxygen out of what we breathe. But if you breathe through your mouth, it will only put a lot of stress on your body. I think that’s why your body is breaking down instead of recovering.”“Nose breathing, huh…” Leyla looked very surprised. “I have never thou

After coming home, Rebecca did not say a word to Benjamin for hours.Benjamin had bought an extra pizza home, not including the ones he bought for Lisa and Roshan. He was hoping to share that third pizza with Rebecca, but when he asked her if she’d eat it, she said, “Give it to Leyla. She’ll appreciate it a lot more than I do.”No matter what Benjamin tried to do, Rebecca kept piercing his mind and squeezing his heart with her ever so sharp words. Even arrows and bullets wouldn’t hurt someone so deeply.That night was like a living nightmare to Benjamin. He really experienced the word ‘miserable,’ and he was not able to sleep, either.In the middle of the night, he came out to the balcony to get some fresh air.“I’m telling her the truth, but she’s not listening. If the truth doesn’t work, then what can I do?” he shook his head. “Her ego is blinding her from seeing the truth. She’s mistaking what I did for something else. I just hope that she’ll somehow forget this incident, or I have

The next morning.Benjamin prepared breakfast for everyone once again, and the maids were looking as if they were having mixed feelings about this. On one hand, they loved the dishes he made, but on the other hand, he was making them look like they didn’t know how to cook.Delle was decent, but Amber and Kathy were nowhere near, so they were the ones who were not hiding their disappointment with their eyes.Benjamin tried to put an egg on Rebecca’s plate.“No,” she quickly said.“Why?” he asked.“She doesn’t need to explain herself to you,” Selena intervened. “If she says no, it stays a no. Get used to that. The faster the better.”Benjamin didn’t say anything.“Mom, I met a guy the other day,” Veronica openly told her mother. “He seems like he’s very into me, and he wants to give me a car. Is that a good thing?”“How long have you known him?” Selena asked.“About ten days?” Veronica said. “I only met him twice though.”“Only ten days, and he wants to give you a car? That’s a red flag

Rebecca was driving, with Benjamin sitting in the back. He was reading the newspaper, and she was thinking about what he said at the dining table.“Being a green flag, huh…” she thought. “If I look at the way he lived after coming here, he did what was asked of him. He cooked, massaged, cleaned the floor and the toilet, polished the shoes, cleaned the dishes, and did almost all the things that were asked of him. He did not show much resistance. I wouldn’t say he took the pressure like a sponge, but he was not far from it, either. Does all this make him a green flag? If he were to reject them and stand up for himself, is that a good thing or a bad thing?”She thought about it for a while.And then she ended up asking him out of curiosity, “What exactly is a green flag? Can you give me a simpler explanation?”Benjamin shrugged his shoulders. “I just told Veronica what I believed on the spot. I didn’t ever think about green flag or red flag until today.”“Then… is what you said not gen

The next morning.Rebecca came out of her room fast and reached the dorms just to check on Benyamin. She found him brushing his teeth with his finger. And he was using salt.“Don’t you have a brush and toothpaste?” Rebecca quickly asked. “You should have asked me then.”“No, I’m fine with this,” Benyamin replied. “The smell of the chemicals in the toothpaste just makes me feel nauseous, so I’m fine with just this sea salt.”“But… will salt be enough?”“It’s enough,” Benyamin gave a thumbs-up. “In fact, I’m worried about you because you’re using that chemical-ridden toothpaste which dullens your brain.”“If they dullen the brain, then why would they promote toothpastes so much on television?”“They will promote everything that will make them money while keeping the people sick, so that they will not be able to think clearly and would rather depend on the government to think for themselves,” Benyamin smiled.“That’s not funny,” Rebecca hissed. “I have to go and brush my teeth. And I’m f

Later that night.Benjamin was out in the garden, sitting under a tree, doing nothing as hours went by.“He’s been like that since dinner,” Rye was watching him from the first floor’s window. “It’s not good.”“What can I say?” Uzza was feeling heavy-hearted. “It feels like the story of Abel and Cain altogether, though in a different way. The brothers that represent the duality of current man. The devil sure knows how to mock us and make us angry. I’m certain now. It’s his plan. He put the sworn brothers against each other.”“But how did he get Shadow?” Rye frowned. “I don’t sense any demonic energy in him.”“Considering Shadow’s abilities, it’s easy for him to hide the demonic energy,” Uzza opined. “He’s a perfect place for demons to hide, though I don’t know how they got hold of him. He must have been caught by surprise. I just hope that this won’t lead to something disastrous.” She was looking at Benjamin. “The longer this goes, the more likely that someone among those is going to b

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.

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
