Selena did not like what her daughter had done.Tearing a check in front of her eyes was very angering and frustrating. And she quarreled with Rebecca for a long time.Veronica had to come in between and stop them.After that Selena and Rebecca didn’t talk for hours.Veronica brought popcorn to her sister to divert her mind and cool her down. “Eat,” she said.“Are they made in a microwave oven?” Rebecca asked.“I think so. Why?”“Then I don’t want them,” Rebecca said. “You shouldn’t eat them, either.”“Why is that?”“Because they’re not healthy. That’s why Benjamin removed the microwave ovens from the kitchen. Now that he’s gone, Elizabeth and Mom must have told the maids to bring them back into the kitchen for use,” she hissed. “Their egos are so big, they’re fine with ruining their own health as long as they get on top of others in what they say and do in this house.”Veronica kept eating popcorn while listening to her sister.Rebecca grabbed the bowl from her and put it away. “Don’
Samuel Sehla talked with his dad and agreed to Selena’s demands because the election was very near now. So, he just wanted to deal with them after the elections.Nevertheless, Selena said she was also recording the whole conversation for future safety, and her words only angered Andrew some more.Veronica and Akash demanded that his parents be returned, and Samuel had his men bring Akash’s parents within fifteen minutes.His parents hugged Akash and cried so much.Elizabeth rolled her eyes. “Take this melodrama somewhere else please,” she said openly.“Elizabeth,” Veronica coldly said. “You should get to your room if you can’t watch it with your stupid eyes!”Elizabeth’s jaw slackened. “D-Did you just call me by my name?”Rebecca had called her by her name many times, but Veronica hadn’t done that until now, so Elizabeth was really shocked.“Yeah, I did,” Veronica blurted, “and you should be glad that I even called you by your name. My husband’s parents got kidnapped and were tortured
Since Akash left the house, Selena looked more peaceful, and she’s been doing everything she can to stop Rebecca from leaving the house.She brought morning coffee to her daughter so she could talk to her. “Are you still thinking of living outside?”Rebecca didn’t like drinking coffee, but for her mother’s sake, she drank it. “That’s better for everyone.”“Not for you and me,” Selena quickly said. “I don’t know about others, but it’s not better for both of us.”“I can’t be peaceful if I’m here, so… leaving is the only way,” Rebecca said.“Are you perhaps thinking of dating many men?”“Huh? What makes you think that?”“Well, I was wondering if any guy proposed to you, like Jim from Drake’s restaurant,” Selena said. “He’s much better than Benjamin, of course, but there’s always an issue with good looking people, especially good looking guys. They always get approached by lots of women. Now, men are not like women. Their testosterone drive is much stronger, so it’s not easy for them to
Later that day.Veronica received a call from Akash’s parents. They used a mediator to talk with her, and they told her they wouldn’t send Akash back to her. If she wanted to live with him, she should come to his country and live in his house.Veronica was very shocked to hear that. She wanted to talk with Akash, but they didn’t agree with that. She at least wanted to hear his opinion, but his parents didn’t let them talk.Veronica told Rebecca and Selena what happened.Rebecca knew that they might cause some trouble, but she didn’t think they would call Veronica to come and live with them.Selena, on the other hand, was utterly furious. “They are finally showing their true colors. They want my daughter to live with them in their dirty little house? Fuck that! That’s never happening!” she looked at Veronica. “Don’t even think about traveling to their country. They are just trying to mess with you now. If you listen to them and go to their house, they’ll put you through mental and eve
At night.All the members of the Sterling family were having dinner. Though some people were missing, the ones present there still tried to look happy.“So, you two are going to stay at a different house,” Jacob looked at his daughters. “Why so suddenly?”“Mom already agreed to it,” Rebecca said.“I know that, but why do you want to live on your own?” Jacob asked. “When we are in crisis, we should stick together. That’s common sense. If we split up and go different directions, then the Sterling family will really fall apart.”“The Sterling family has long fallen apart, Dad…” Rebecca hesitantly said. “Don’t talk as if it’s only happening now.”Jacob’s gaze reddened somewhat. “Nobody in this world is perfect, Rebecca. I’m not the only father who has dirt in his life. Almost everyone I know has lots of dirt they keep buried in their lives.”“Instead of correcting one’s mistakes, giving excuses isn’t really a good thing,” Rebecca retorted. “You can take all that dirt to your grave. I don’
Though Dorothy beat her son like a dog, she still told him that he could stay in the villa for a little while if he wanted to, but she also warned him to find a job really soon, or she’d personally push him out by the neck.Later that night.After everyone went to sleep, George was roaming all around the villa, packing all the valuable items in a large sack. From prized paintings and costly watches to golden and silverware, he packed everything.When he came to the first floor, however, he was shocked to see Uzza sitting on the couch. He almost dropped the bag in shock, but he somehow held onto it.“W-What the…” he looked at her and realized that she had her eyes closed. “Is she sleeping while sitting? I guess her bum is fat enough for her to do that.” He was about to leave and look for things at other places, but then he noticed that she was wearing a golden necklace, which caught his eye. “I can’t just leave such a valuable thing now, can I?”He quietly put the bag down and then app
The next morning.Uzza was sitting in the living room. She was just watching the maids do their work and didn’t speak a word.Everything seemed normal, just as it should be.“What spell did they cast last night?” She kept thinking about it. “They definitely did something, but I have no idea what it is. It’s so frustrating.”Though Uzza was knowledgeable, she was still a child when compared to the fallen angels who had the knowledge of the secrets of the heavens and the earth and had lived for thousands of years.At some point, Rebecca came out of her room.Normally, she would directly go to the balcony and get some fresh air there, but today, she went straight to the dining table.Uzza followed her and also sat at the dining table. Because of Uzza’s presence, everyone was careful with their words.“I’ve heard someone say that you’re leaving the house, Rebecca,” Uzza said. “Is that true?”Rebecca paused for a moment and said, “No. I changed my mind.”“Oh, what made you change your mind
Uzza’s eyes enlarged from seeing Benjamin, but the moment he took a step forward, her expression immediately changed, and she understood who he exactly was.“Rebecca…” Benjamin came closer to the dining table.Everyone turned to look at him.“Who are you?” Jacob asked.Benjamin tilted his head slightly. “Who am I? I’m Benjamin.”“So what? I didn’t ask your name,” Jacob said. “I asked who you are. What do you do? What do you want? Why did you come here?”“I’m Benjamin, your son-in-law,” Benjamin said. He was wearing a colorful T-shirt and loose joggers.“My son-in-law?” Jacob glanced at his daughters.Veronica almost spilled her drink. “Why are you looking at me, Dad? I have no idea who he is.”Jacob’s gaze shifted toward Rebecca.“This is my first time seeing him,” Rebecca replied.Their words didn’t just utterly shock Benjamin but also Uzza just as much if not more.“Rebecca, what are you saying?” Benjamin raised his voice slightly. “What do you mean this is your first time seeing me
