The cops received an anonymous call and arrived at the underground tunnel as fast as they could, but what awaited them was beyond what they had expected or imagined.“You’ve gotta be kidding me,” they couldn’t believe what they were seeing. The whole underground tunnel had collapsed. “What in the world happened here?” Now, they had no idea if anyone was even trapped inside or not.Later that night.A clean red Porsche arrived at the Sterling villa. After seeing Benjamin, the guard said, “Did you get the Porsche serviced? It looks fresh.”Benjamin gave a thumbs-up before driving through the gate. After he parked the car, he was walking into the villa, but his ears caught the distant noise of the birds in distress. What bothered him was that the noises didn’t come from the trees but from the dorms. He had a bad feeling about it. He rushed straight to the dorms and kicked the door open, waking up the butlers and cleaners.He went to the storage room, and it was locked. He looked at the b

The next morning.The veterinarian had treated the birds and asked who abused them, but Benjamin didn’t have an answer yet.Benjamin didn’t go to the rooftop. The parrots were still resting on his bed. Because their nails and part of their feet were crushed, the veterinarian said, they might never be able to stand, much less walk properly again.Their situation didn’t even let him sleep. He felt guilty because if not for him taming them, they might have left the villa, and they would still be living somewhere happily. But now, their entire life was ruined by his mother-in-law.Yes, Benjamin had overheard the conversations of the maids from a distance and learned what had happened. He didn’t want to use his enhanced sense of hearing to eavesdrop on others in the villa, but the circumstances forced him to.He knew Johnny was the one who caught the birds and beat them and tortured them, but the one who made him do it was Selena.“Not only did you get some men to attack me, you even went

The parrots did show some interest in the parfait, but in the end, they didn’t eat anything. The veterinarian had to come and check up on the birds again.Selena now knew what exactly had happened the previous night, and she then understood the reason why the muffins were so horrible, the worst she had ever eaten. She had to make Johnny personally go and buy the best muffins in the city and then eat them to feel a little better.The word already reached Rebecca through Veronica, but she couldn’t question Benjamin because she was smart enough to realize that Selena probably had something to do with the birds. Moreover, there wasn’t much one could do if family members kept fighting against each other. Whom should she support? She had been seeing this since childhood, so she was thinking of telling Benjamin to control himself until she bought a new house where they could freely live together.While Rebecca was planning a design for her and her husband to wear during the reception, Benjam

The family doctor had come and treated Benjamin, even though the bleeding had stopped by the time he came.Selena was also there. She didn’t want anything serious happening between the husband and wife as they were sitting next to each other. So she stayed in the room to make sure nothing of the sort happened.As the doctor was leaving, he looked at Selena and said, “You may love your son-in-law, but you can’t be calling doctors bastards for not answering your call in the first few rings.”Selena’s face flushed pink as the doctor had said what he wanted and left. Though she felt embarrassed, she was at least glad that her words were taken in a way that would make her daughter feel better about her.However, seeing the wounded parrots resting in the bed was something she didn’t like. Beds were not meant for birds, she thought. If not for Rebecca constantly being in the room, she would have already done something about it.After Benjamin rested on Rebecca’s bed, Rebecca went to the couc

Anous returned to his job. He took the kids to school and then dropped Benjamin, Rebecca, and Veronica at the Powell’s gym.Jane and Donovan were already waiting there.Donovan didn’t look ashamed of what had happened at the birthday party, as he seemed to already put that behind him.“Why do we only get 1 hour?” Jane complained before even entering the gym. “Donovan says we need at least two to three hours to properly train our body under supervision.”“This is like rehabilitating, you know,” replied Rebecca. “Some training without therapy.”After they entered, a tall and handsome black man came to greet them. Both Rebecca and Jane went speechless for a second.“P-Powell?” Jane was shocked. “It’s you?”“Haha,” Powell laughed, putting his hands on his waist. “It’s great to meet friends from college, especially you, Jane.” He offered his hand for a handshake, but she didn’t go with the flow.Jane grabbed Donovan’s arm and said, “This is Donovan, my boyfriend.”“Oh…” Powell’s gaze chang

When Rebecca returned from the gym in her tights, Johnny was watching her from a distance. This was the first time he was seeing her curves, and he couldn’t turn his eyes away.Even though Veronica was also wearing tights, he was always watching her in her bikini, so she didn’t feel any special to him.It was only Rebecca that was his mango just out of reach.He wanted to jump and get hold of the ripening mango as fast as he could so he could have a taste of it.However, he suddenly felt a chill of the underworld, and he soon realized that Benjamin was giving him a death glare.He turned his head and minded his work. (Tsk! This overprotective son-in-law is always right behind her ass. But he’s a nobody, and I will make Rebecca realize that.) As he imagined Rebecca using her delicate arms to stroke him in the most intimate way, the thing in his pants throbbed. He get going far in the fantasies he lost track of time.Meanwhile in Rebecca’s room.She was going for a bath, and Benjamin as

Selena fired all the male butlers and cleaners after giving them the next three months salary, so they didn’t complain and also leaked what happened inside the villa, and she didn’t lose any face, either. Both parties knew that this was done to make Rebecca feel comfortable.While Benjamin had taken Johnny’s body in a car and went out into the city, Selena had removed Benjamin’s bed and all his belongings from Rebecca’s room.When Rebecca told her this wasn’t necessary, she was told to shut-up.“I know you better than you know yourself,” Selena told her. “Right now, it’s not good for a male to be living in your room, even if it’s your husband.”“But… shouldn’t we at least discuss this with him first?” asked Rebecca. “What will he think when he comes back and sees all his stuff moved to another room?”“Let him think whatever he wants,” Selena snorted. Her stomach rumbled again. “Ah, for fuck sake!” she raised her hands and screamed before rushing to the washroom in Rebecca’s room itsel

Sitting on Rebecca’s bed, Jacob looked quite frustrated. For one thing, his wife was sitting next to him and resting her head on his shoulders. He didn’t want to tell her to get up, but at the same time, he had more important things to do. Dealing with Johnny’s body is just a minor part of that.However, what angered him more was seeing his daughter designing a suit right in front of his eyes. “Is this the time to be planning designs?”“The request came from my old friend Evelyn. She wants to surprise her boss, so I need to finish this as fast as possible.”“To her boss? Who the hell is her boss? Some roadside romeo?”“CEO Adam of Conreid Lore.”Jacob went silent for a little while. “You can carry on, but do something about your mother. She's totally out.”“Yeah, so why don’t you just put her down on the bed?”“I’m afraid she’ll wake up if I move. You come and deal with her.”Rebecca sighed and did what Jacob asked of her and succeeded. Jacob didn’t wait another second and slipped out

“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

While Benjamin and Rebecca were about to go separate ways, Elizabeth came over to them.While smiling a bit awkwardly on the surface, she asked, “Brother Benjamin, my bank card is having some issues. Can you please pay for the piano? I’ll pay you the money soon as my bank issue gets resolved.”Rebecca’s eyes slightly widened because she had seen Elizabeth trick so many people with the similar tactic. In fact, Rebecca herself had fallen prey to this move a few times long ago.“No problem,” Benjamin took out a card. It was a platinum-coated card with the symbol of ‘W’ on it, made with diamonds.“Wow, are these real diamonds?” She was shocked. “What kind of bank gives these cards? I would like to have this, too.”“It’s a secret bank known as Eternity Bank, so it won’t be easy to get you one card, but I will try,” Benjamin told her.“Thank you. You really are so kind,” Elizabeth smiled happily. “May I know the password for this?”“It doesn’t have a password.”“Oh…” Elizabeth didn’t quite

Once Benjamin walked out of the room, Rebecca met him and asked in a low voice, “What did you tell him?”“I did what I could,” Benjamin shrugged. “I’m not sure how to handle this type of a situation, but I think it’s something he has to change from the inside. No matter how much we say, he won’t change unless that spark of change comes from within.”“So, we should just create an atmosphere that will make him self-realize and then get rid of his bad habit, huh.”“That would be anything but easy, though, because we never know what works and what doesn’t.”“You are right, but we can’t just give up on him. Even though I don’t like Elizabeth, I can’t ignore her kids who grew up right before my eyes,” Rebecca replied. “I told my brother to not give them mobiles when they’re young, as they might get addicted to games, which they did… But now, they are in that age where hormones will make them want to watch new things. If we let them get out of hand, they will be ruining their careers and thei

Benjamin closed Roshan’s eyes and showed him some of his memories.When Benjamin went to door-deliver pizza, a man was kicking his wife out for cheating on her. He married her even though she was a single mom, but just four months after their marriage, he found her cheating on him.There was another instant where Benjamin found the same girl on the same day in two different places, sleeping with two different guys, and she even asked Benjamin to fuck her on the stairs between the floors. She seduced him, but Benjamin scuttled away from her.After showing a series of troubles he came across on his job, he then showed the challenges he experienced every evening when Rebecca came to pick him up in her Porsche.Even though Benjamin was her husband, he would try to court his own wife by giving her flowers, or sweets, or a special pizza he personally made. He would praise her, saying he had never seen her use the rear-view mirror for applying lipstick like he had seen many other women do it

George saw Rebecca alone, waiting outside Roshan’s room. He used this opportunity to come up to her.“What are you doing here, Rebecca? Did Roshan cause some trouble again?” George was folding his sleeves. “Let me teach him a lesson.”“Stop!” Rebecca hit his shin bone with her foot. Because of her footwear, he cringed in pain. “Why do you assume things? I’m standing here just because I want to. Nothing else.”“You expect me to believe that?” George harrumphed. “You are such a bad liar. The day you brought some random guy into the house and said you loved him and married him, everyone else might have believed your words but I didn’t. There’s no way someone like you who’s so capable can fall in love, much less marry a pizza-delivery guy. Compared to him, I’m so much better!”“You are wrong, George,” Rebecca calmly and confidently replied. “Benjamin…” she lightly smacked her own head. “Ahem, I mean, Benyamin is a billion times better than you. He doesn’t bend his spine for money like you

Rebecca knocked on a door.“Who is it?” Roshan asked from the inside, a hint of anxiety in his voice.“It’s me,” Rebecca replied. “Open the door. I’ll just have a quick few words with you, that’s all.”“A-Aunt, I don’t want to talk to you right now,” Roshan replied. “Please go.”“I’ll talk with him,” Benjamin told her in a low voice. Rebecca then walked away and stopped at a certain distance.A minute later, Benjamin knocked on the door.“Hey, I’m Benjamin,” he said. “Can I talk to you?”“No, I’m busy right now,” Roshan answered.“It’ll only take a minute,” Benjamin persisted. “I won’t bother you afterward.”“Tsk,” Roshan, annoyed, walked over to the door.Benjamin knocked on the door again.Roshan quickly opened the door with a hostile look. “What?”Benjamin smiled and stepped closer and put his arm around Roshans’s shoulder. He then shut the door from behind him and even locked it without looking back.“W-What are you doing?” Roshan nervously asked.Even Rebecca, who was outside, co

Veronica just finished bathing and was putting on one of those sexy outfits designed by her sister in the past. It revealed the entire midsection of the body, but hid everything else.Though Akash found it sexy, he said, “You really are not wearing that in the home, right?”“What’s wrong if I wear it?” Veronica retorted. “This isn’t even that revealing.”“Look at yourself in the mirror. It feels like I might catch a glimpse of your underboob if you were to raise your arms,” Akash said.Veronica squinted her eyes. “I’m wearing a bra underneath, you idiot. You know nothing about fashion. I’ve been bearing with your stupidity for a while now, but if I can’t even wear this type of clothing, then you should consider going back home and complaining to your parents about it! Because you need to really grow up!” After blurting out her anger through her words, she snorted and left the room.Standing by the balcony, she watched her father talking to guests downstairs.“This is meat tea, which D
