Jim brought a plate full of appetizers that had meat balls of chicken, fish, prawns, and lamb.The light color of the meat suggested that no food colors were added, other than the spices. And the meat wasn’t roasted so that its juices would remain inside.“Thanks,” Rebecca told Jim as she wasn’t expecting him to bring starters first.Jim smiled at her but then glanced at Benjamin once. “What can I bring for you?” he asked reluctantly.Benjamin just wanted JIm to leave them alone, but of course, he couldn’t say that out loud. “Can you bring me lion meat, or wolf meat?” he asked.“Uh, we don’t serve that kind of meat here,” Jim said. “Besides, it’s illegal to-”“I’m just joking, dude,” Benjamin said. “Just this glass of water is enough for me.”Jim then went into the kitchen even though he didn’t want to leave these two alone.Rebecca slightly pushed the plate toward Benjamin and said, “I don’t eat too much meat. A little bit is fine, but if I eat more, it makes me want to vomit.”“I kn
Benjamin wanted to sit next to Rebecca for a long time, but that didn’t happen because the hospital wasn’t that far from the restaurant, and also she drove quickly and didn’t even start a conversation.Once they went to the hospital, she asked the receptionist and rushed to the ICU. Lisa was waiting outside, crying.Rebecca comforted her. “It’s going to be okay.”Lisa hugged her and cried.“Tell me what happened,” Rebecca asked.“After mom came home from voting, I asked Mom to take me to the house she bought,” Lisa said. “I wanted to take some pictures to show my friends, but that was already occupied by many immigrants. We told them to leave, but they attacked us. One of them tried to pull me into the house, and Mom stopped him. He bashed her head into the wall. And she kept bleeding from her forehead.”Rebecca’s blood boiled from hearing that. “I will talk to the police and put all of them in jail. Don’t worry.”Benjamin, on the other hand, turned and walked away.Just then, the doc
Rebecca and Lisa were in the hospital, sitting in the VIP patient’s ward, watching television on mute.Lisa looked very dull. Roshan was sitting outside, playing games on his mobile.“Why didn’t anyone other than Roshan come to see Mom?” Lisa asked her aunt.“I’m sure they are busy with something important,” Rebecca said. “Otherwise, they would have come.”“What could be more important for Dad than Mom?” Lisa’s voice was weak not from the lack of energy, but from the sadness.“I’m here, aren’t I?” Rebecca tried to comfort her by rubbing her shoulder.Just then, Benjamin entered the room.Rebecca was not expecting him to come back.Benjamin brought a bag full of fruits and put them on the table.“Go and eat some fruits,” Rebecca told Lisa.Lisa shook her head.“Don’t you want to have energy to talk to your mom when she wakes up?” Rebecca said.Lisa then changed her mind and grabbed a bunch of bananas.Rebecca came and stood next to Benjamin who was standing by Elizabeth’s bed and was o
Shawn and Jacob came to the hospital together.Seeing Shawn, Elizabeth got emotional.“I promise you… I’ll make them all suffer,” Shawn told her. “I won’t leave any of them.”Meanwhile, Rebecca was talking with her dad.“Did you know she was going to leave like this?” Jacob asked. “Where did she even get the money from? You didn’t give her any, did you?”“She took a million from me,” Rebecca said.“A-A million?” Jacob’s eyes enlarged with shock. “Why did you give her so much, knowing her spending habits?”“She said she’d buy land in Akash’s country, Dad,” Rebecca explained. “She wanted to go and see him, so I had to give her the money.”Jacob frowned. “You made a mistake. She doesn’t know the value of money yet because she hasn’t earned it herself. She won’t think twice before spending it, and she never bought properties before, so the chances of her failing are pretty high.”“Only if Akash’s family doesn’t help her,” Rebecca said.“I think they’ll just eat the money away,” Jacob opin
Choy did not hesitate to attack the kids.Bella brought her hand in the way to stop Choy’s attack, but Bella’s hand was severed at the wrist.In that split second that Bella bought at the cost of her right hand, Louis was able to grab both of his kids with both his arms and run away.“Escaping is futile,” Choy indifferently said and leaped toward them.Bella enlarged her nails and thrust her left hand at Choy with great killing intent.Choy struck her hand with his elbow, which released a shockwave in every direction. Bella’s arm trembled.“Ho… you’re not half bad,” Choy said. “But…” He pointed his finger at her. “How dare you attack me, you filthy trash.” He pointed his finger at her and released a strong laser-like energy aimed at her forehead.Bella’s vampiric instinct moved her head out of the way, but the attack pierced through her left ear, and it was gone just like that.Bella swung her right leg diagonally, aiming to strike his diaphragm, but he blocked her left with his left
Denise fought Choy as best as she could, but after realizing that he was not someone she could defeat with just her strength, she ordered Zakaria and Cranston to fight Choy. And then she ran away while carrying Andrew.Zakaria abandoned Cranston and also ran away in the middle of the fight.“Why does shit always sticks to my feet?” Craston frowned as Choy mercilessly attacked him. He was a strong vampire, but Choy was simply much stronger than him. He didn’t even see himself winning this fight, so he just gave up on his life and closed his eyes.Choy ripped his heart out and moved on.A few seconds passed, and Cranston opened his eyes. His lost heart regenerated on its own. “That guy didn’t know I’m an awakened vampire. Kekeke. What a fool. Luck is on my side. I will use this opportunity to escape.” He was running away, but then a bolt of red lightning went right past his head.The next second, a clone of Rye made purely of red lightning was standing before him.“T-This is… an element
As a black bloodbath ensued in Shambol, Elizabeth and others returned to the Sterling villa.Selena wasn’t sleeping but was watching news so she’d know who had the better chances of winning. “There’s going to be a tough fight between Andrew and Hudson. I hope that Hudson wins, or most of my wealth…”As Selena was thinking, Elizabeth and others entered the home. Selena asked Elizabeth how she’s feeling.“It still hurts,” Elizabeth said. “I feel dizzy.”“Don’t think it’ll leave a mark,” Selena told her in a low voice. “I’ll take you to a top plastic surgeon.”Elizabeth somewhat smiled after hearing that.“What did you tell Mom, Grandma?” Lisa asked her because she hadn’t seen her mom smile after the bad incident.“That’s an adults’ secret,” Selena scratched Lisa’s nose with her fingernail.“I’m an adult, too,” Lisa said.“Not in my eyes,” Selena casually said.Just when Rebecca was passing by the television, she saw the news of many immigrants getting arrested for illegally occupying a
Later that night.Rebecca was not able to sleep. And there were many reasons for that.First of all, she checked the locker to see if her wedding ring was there or not. And it was there, so it meant that Benjamin didn’t steal her ring. This bettered her impression on him. And she couldn’t forget the fact that Benjamin went out of his way to get the immigrants out of Elizabeth’s house. She wanted to represent her family and repay Benjamin for what he did. But how?She doubted if he would be interested in money.Even if he was interested in cash, she didn’t even have 100 dollars in her bank account now. All the money she had was what was in her purse, and what was stored in her locker, whether it be hard cash or jewelry.The money she gave to Veronica wouldn’t return anytime soon. She wasn’t expecting to take it back from Veronica.So, this meant that she could only look forward to the million dollars she gave to Sofia Myers.She kept looking at her mobile screen to see if she’d get any
