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
Later that night.Dovey was roaming in the lawn all by himself.Rye lay down on the bed in her room, wondering, “How much longer am I going to sleep alone in the bed?” she sighed. “The nights are getting harder and harder to bear. Sometimes it gets so difficult to control the urge to tell him all these things.”Just then, black fog entered the room through an open window.Rye saw that but didn’t even blink, much less flinch.“We can help you get Benjamin to your side,” Smiling Legion said. “We’ll make it so that you can wrap him around your little finger.”“And how are you going to do that?” Rye asked.“First, you need to form a deal with us,” Smiling Legion stated. “It’s a mutually beneficial deal. Once the deal is made, then we’ll reveal the secrets to you so that you can pull him to your heart.”“What secrets are we talking about exactly?”“Ones that will liberate you,” Smiling Legion answered. “Our secrets are based on the knowledge of the fallen angels, who once taught humanity a
The entire next day turned out to be a very silent day for everyone in Sterling villa.Selena did not even come to the dining table and instead sat in her room and had the maids bring food while she watched the news.Rebecca didn’t leave her room, either, but she didn’t even eat any food. When the maids asked her, she told them she was just fasting for the day.Because Rebecca didn’t eat, Benjamin didn’t eat, either.Because Benjamin didn’t eat, Rye didn’t eat, either.Because Rye didn’t eat, Uzza didn’t eat, either.Because so many people didn’t eat, Dorothy ate so much food today during breakfast, lunch, and dinner. And she told the maids to not eat too much just because there’s so much food.Lisa and Roshan didn’t want to come downstairs to eat, but Dorothy yelled at them and made them come down, instead of letting them eat in their rooms.Shawn took care of his wife and her needs.Jacob, on the other hand, wasn’t even home.Later that night, Louis, Bella, and their kids returned h
The next morning.Rebecca woke up earlier than usual as her hunger peaked. She didn’t want to eat anything that was in the fridge, so she came out of the room.She didn’t want to wake the maids up because she never did that before. She had never asked the maids to cook anything for her in the past, not even once.However, she didn’t know how to cook, either.“Should I just make an omelet?” she was thinking. She went into the kitchen, only to be surprised to see Benjamin there.He was already making something she thought of making. However, she saw him pouring water onto the pan. “W-Why are you pouring water on the omelet?” she quickly asked.Benjamin wasn’t surprised by her sudden arrival. “This is one way of cooking basted eggs.”“Does it taste good?” she curiously asked.“Not so much with water, but if you add butter, then the taste will be rich,” Benjamin said. “I’ll make one for you afterward, so give me five minutes.”“O-Okay,” Rebecca didn’t reject his offer. “But is it okay if
