A few minutes later.Rye entered Benjamin’s room. He was sleeping on the bed. She used that opportunity to close in and plant a kiss on his cheek. “Don’t feel too stressed, my king. Everything will end well for us. I will make sure it will.”She then sat down and just watched him.“Something truly unexpected happened. The damned angels did do something that would benefit me,” Rye thought, “but I never asked for their help. I’m sure they’re not doing this to help me but to mock Benjamin. I don’t know what exactly they’re planning, but I doubt they have the power to alter everything in reality. There’s no way God would allow them to do that. Let’s see how far they’ll take this. The more they push Benjamin, the more he will fight back, so I hope they just stay in the background and don’t try to directly poke him.”Just then, Kathy entered the room and was surprised to see Rye.“Sorry,” Kathy said and quickly left.“Mm? What was she blushing for?” Rye didn’t like it. “Was she trying to do
Seeing Rebecca’s car, Benjamin got up and went past Kathy, making her wonder where he was going. But then she saw him go straight to Rebecca’s car. “Do they know each other?” Stacy frowned.Rebecca stepped out of the car and tossed the keys.Benjamin caught them.Seeing him, she was surprised. “I’m sorry,” she smiled awkwardly. “I thought it was a worker, so I tossed the keys...”“It’s okay,” Benjamin smiled because she used to throw the keys to him sometimes in the past. (It’s not your fault. Your memories might have been altered, but your muscle memory is still there.)Seeing her smile made Benjamin temporarily forget all the pain and put every other burden aside. His heart also smiled for the first time in a long time. “You’ve got a beautiful smile,” he said. “It’s like an oasis in a desert.” He tossed the keys back to her.Rebecca was not expecting such a powerful compliment, so she didn’t know how to react. “Uh…” she couldn’t find the right words and had to think. “My smile can’t
At Origin casino.Sofia Bacic and George were playing poker again, and they were currently losing on purpose.They let one particular customer win repeatedly, so they could later get it all back from him.At some point, Sofia told him, “When he starts saying it’s enough, then handle him.”“Handle him? How?” George asked her in a low voice.“Handle him as you would my cock, with respect, reverence and awe,” Sofia said.George almost coughed blood from her words.“It’s okay, George,” Sofia patted his shoulders. “Not all days are ours. Some days we lose. Some days we win.”George forced himself to smile. (Someone, please save me. I want to get out of here.)Sofia leaned closer and whispered, “Nobody from the Sterling villa will come to save you because Shawn is terrified of me. So, you are alone. So, just shut up and do what I say. Otherwise, you’re going to lose your limbs, and then you’ll be dumped in a pig farm.”George’s spine shook from hearing those words.“Don’t think I’m joking,
“I know my daughter is right next to me, but I wished that Rebecca was also born to me,” Dorothy said. “Then I would have been able to kiss her so many times when she was a baby. I feel the same way when I look at you two. Don’t think I’m trying to flatter you or anything. I’m really speaking from my heart. You two easily defeat any popular actors and actresses out there in terms of looks”Just then, Selena came downstairs.“What about me?” Selena asked.“O-Of course, you were also in a league of your own when you were young,” Dorothy said. “I don’t need to say that because your reputation speaks for itself.”Selena pridefully smiled and then greeted Uzza, Rye, and Benjamin before sitting at the table. She sat right next to Benjamin, which he didn’t quite like because he was hoping that Rebecca would sit there.Soon, Lisa, Roshan, and Shawn also joined.Lisa kept asking Benjamin a lot of questions, even though she was priorly told by her parents to keep her mouth shut.Roshan, on the
At Pure Waters.Early in the morning, a delivery guy unloaded all the boxes of alcohol and placed them carefully on the shelves. He had messy hair. He was wearing glasses and had a long face. After finishing the job, he came to Rodnie, the bar owner, whose head was on the bench. Rodnie looked completely drunk.“Sir, I finished the task,” he said. “If you give me the payment, I’ll go.”“I’ll give you your money and some more,” Rodnie told him, “but first, sit down and share your love story with me.”“W-What? My love story?” he was surprised. “Why do you want to know my love story, sir?”“Because I’m too old to have my own love story now,” Rodnie said and laughed. “So, tell me…” he took out a stack of 100 dollar bills. “A good love story. And this money will be yours.”The delivery guy’s eyes lit up. (There’s gotta be at least a hundred notes in that stack. Ten thousand dollars. I can’t miss this opportunity.) He quickly cleared his throat. “Ah, where should I start?”“Start with your n
Rodnie was not just the owner of Pure Waters bar but also the principal of the school where Lisa and Roshan were studying. He changed a lot after his daughter died. But in the past, he was a much-feared man. No one would dare splash a drink in his face.“Who the hell…” Rodnie got angry and looked at the person that just threw the drink at his face, but after seeing Benjamin, he raised his eyebrows. “Who the hell are you?” he was about to fall to the side.Benjamin grabbed him in time and made him sit comfortably. “You drank too much.”“My daughter came to my mind this evening,” Rodnie said. “I didn’t know what else to do. I promised her I wouldn’t take drugs, so alcohol is the only thing I can still turn to. Thanks for grabbing me.” He poured some alcohol for Benjamin.“I didn’t come here to drink,” Benjamin pushed the glass away with his finger.“Then… What brought you here so early in the morning? Did you have a lovers’ quarrel or something?”“I just wanted to check if you’d remembe
Benjamin returned to the villa at around six in the morning.Just then, Selena also came home.“Where did she go the entire night?” Benjamin wondered. “Did she have a night shoot again? She’s not wearing any makeup, though.” He noticed the booklet in her hand and saw the word ‘bet’ on it.He paused for a few seconds. He remembered telling her not to trust anybody with betting.“Was she betting somewhere?” he thought, but then didn’t ponder much about it. Betting wasn’t uncommon among the rich. He knew that Selena was very careful when it came to money so he believed that she wouldn’t make any foolish bets.Selena went to her room and put the file in her locker, and then changed her dress. She looked at herself in the mirror. “I’ve taken a big risk. The biggest risk ever. If I succeed, I’ll become a billionaire. Then I’ll be able to buy this villa back, and then half a billion will still be left.” She lowered her head and prayed. “I haven’t prayed in a long time, but God, if you’re lis
As Rebecca and Benjamin were talking, Sofia was staring at Benjamin and couldn’t take her eyes off him.“He already has a girlfriend,” Veronica said.“O-Oh,” Sofia laughed with a bit of embarrassment. “I was just casually looking at him.”“Haha, it’s understandable because he looks like a diamond,” Veronica said. “My sister doesn’t usually talk at the dinner table, but she even let him sit next to her. That just shows his class. He’s not your average guy.”“Indeed,” Sofia looked at Benjamin and burned with a lustful desire to have him, but all she could do was control herself right now.Just then, Elizabeth entered the scene and was extremely delighted to see all the branded clothes and jewelry. She began to thank Sofia before Sofia even told her she could take these items. Sofia had seen many shameless women before, but she felt that Elizabeth was one of a kind.“How much did all these cost?” Veronica asked Sofia. “I know you’re a multi-billionaire, but these items cost in the hundr
