After lunch, Rye quickly went upstairs and checked her notebook for someone’s mobile number and then called them. “Hello, is this Nora Lynn?”“Yes, who is this I’m talking to?” an old lady’s voice came from the other side.“I’m the one who helped you get the car for your granddaughter,” Rye said. “Do you remember me?”“O-Of course, how can I forget you, Lady?” she quickly said. “My granddaughter loved that car. It’s the safest car in the world, she says. I’ve tried to contact you after that day, but I couldn’t find anything about you. I’m so happy that you finally called. Please tell me, what can I do for you?”“Um, I want that car for a couple of days,” Rye hesitantly said. “Is it possible?”“Why are you asking? Just tell me, and I’ll have the car brought to you in minutes,” Nora stated. “You can keep it with you as long as you want. Tell me, where should I bring the car?”“The Sterling villa,” Rye said.“Got it. The car will be there soon.”“Thanks.”“No need to mention. I hope I’ll
Benjamin left the villa in the red Porsche.Rebecca was watching it from her room’s window. “I haven’t given my car to any man before. It feels strange that some other man is driving my car.”She did tell the family driver Anous to fill the gas in her car a few times in the past, but she didn’t count that right now.Moments later, a new car entered through the gate. “That car…” she was surprised to see a red sports car, but compared to Rebecca’s car, this was much more stylish and had a mix of an old as well as modern look.The car stopped, and a stunning beautiful young lady stepped out of the car. It was Kyra Lynn. Rebecca recognized her because she had attended this woman’s wedding a few months back.“What’s she doing here?” Rebecca wondered.As far as she could think, Kyra should not have any business with her family. The Lynn family was one of the wealthiest families in the world with trillions of dollars of wealth under their belt. What would a member of such a family have to d
Kyra only thought of talking with Selena for a few minutes, but she ended up talking for hours because Selena didn’t let her go.Selena wanted to use this opportunity to get something beneficial because her situation was not looking good, either. She didn’t directly tell Kyra about her situation but was expertly steering Kyra’s thoughts into helping her.At around three o’clock in the afternoon.Benjamin entered the Benz car of Elizabeth even though he wanted to sit next to Rebecca in her car.As he saw Rebecca sit in her Porsche car, Benjamin wanted to slap himself. “Why did you fill her car with gas if you wanted her to be with you? You’re such a helpless fool.”As Benjamin and Rebecca left in their cars, Rye was just watching from the first floor.“Are you not going to go?” Uzza asked her.“They are going in different cars,” Rye said. “So, I don’t really see the reason why I should go as well.”“What if they stop at a restaurant along the way?” Uzza said.Rye’s heart shook for a se
It was a silver Benz A-class limousine worth over 60,000 dollars. It was nothing special compared to Tracy’s McLaren which was worth over 330,000 dollars.Tracy and her friends didn’t even know that this Benz car belonged to Roshan’s family. However, it wasn’t the car that caught their attention, but the man that stepped out of the car.He was wearing a classy black cotton shirt and cream-colored pants, both of which were ironed to the T. The smart and casual clothing enhanced his look. His clothing neatly fit his body, leaving his skin just enough room to breathe.“H-How fair and handsome he is…” some school girls clutched their cheeks in pleasant surprise.Tracy’s mouth widened as Benjamin was coming in their direction.Rebecca’s car stopped in the distance, but she didn’t step out and just watched.“Mr. Benjamin…” Lisa quickly scuttled forth and hugged him.“EH?” Tracy and her friends and some other students were shocked to see that.Rebecca’s mouth also widened now. “This little t
Rye looked at Benjamin, “Shall we go?”“Yeah,” Benjamin said and looked at Lisa as if asking her to let go of his hand, but Lisa just grinned sheepishly. She clearly didn’t want to let go of his hand, even though Rye was right before her.Rye was raising her hand to also flick her finger on Lisa’s forehead.“Don’t,” Benjamin said, stopping her. With an anti-clockwise movement of his hand, Benjamin was able to effortlessly free his hand from Lisa, leaving her a bit speechless.Lisa and Roshan then entered their mother’s Benz car and waited until Benjamin entered the car.Eventually, both Rye and Benjamin left in their cars.Tracy was still standing there, feeling a bit lost at the moment. She looked down at the ground and saw the paper that Lisa had dropped. She felt like taking the paper, but she obviously couldn’t do it in front of her friends, so she had to leave without taking it.A few minutes later.As Benjamin and the kids were traveling in the car, Lisa saw a watermelon seller
Benjamin was driving home.Lisa once again asked him to stop at a clothing store. Benjamin didn’t have a good feeling about this.So, he looked over his shoulder and asked her, “Do you have money for buying the clothes and other accessories?”“U-Um, no, but…” Lisa looked at him as if asking him to pay for her.Before Benjamin could say anything, Roshan said, “You can’t expect him to pay for your clothes, sis.”“I-I’m still a student,” Lisa quickly said. “When I get a job, I’ll be able to pay.”“You should just marry so that your husband will pay for you,” Roshan said. “If he doesn’t, you can just divorce him and take fifty percent of his property. Then you can buy a lot of things.”Lisa kept looking at Benjamin. “Please… Just this once.”“No,” Benjamin didn’t even hesitate to reply.Roshan snickered.Lisa got angry and slapped her brother on the shoulder. “You shut up.”“You’re getting angry because I told the truth,” Roshan laughed some more.“Truth? What truth?”“That you need to ha
“I shouldn’t have said yes,” Rebecca was still shaking her head. “If the kids ask me to pay for their clothes, what am I going to tell them?”After some thinking, she left her purse in the car.“If they ask me, I’ll tell them I forgot the purse,” Rebecca thought and then entered the store with the intention of not buying anything from the store. After all, if she were to buy anything, who’s going to pay for that? There was no way she could ask or even expect Benjamin and Rye to pay for her clothes. At the same time, she couldn’t expect them to pay for Lisa and Roshan’s clothes, either.She was looking for a moment where she could talk with Lisa and Roshan in private, but they kept roaming around and didn’t make it any easier for her to talk with them. She wanted to tell them to not buy anything because she didn’t bring her wallet. She believed that they would understand her.She eventually managed to talk to Lisa alone and told her the issue.However, Lisa said, “It’s okay, Aunt. Mr.
Lisa acted like nothing happened, and she picked six pairs of clothes of different styles.Roshan, however, picked just one pair of clothes.Rye, on the other hand, also picked a black dress and asked Benjamin if he would like to see her in this dress.He told her, “You’d look good in any dress.”Rye laughed a little.Benjamin then went over to where Rebecca was. “Why aren’t you choosing any dress?”“It’s fine. I have lots of dresses in my room,” she told him. “So, I don’t need a new pair.”“Still, I’m buying for everyone, so I’d be happy if you also choose whatever clothes you like,” Benjamin said and walked away.And then, Rebecca chose the cheapest red dress which cost 49 dollars.Soon, everyone reached the counter. Benjamin was the last person to get there. He had picked a gray suit.The worker calculated the bill. Lisa’s clothes amounted to 1232 dollars. Roshan’s clothes were worth 140 dollars. Rebecca’s clothes were worth 49 dollars. Rye’s three pairs of clothes were worth 758 d
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. W
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
