Jim believed that this was the first small step to success. “I’ve never given flowers to anyone else before other than my mother,” Jim said because Rebecca was staring at him without saying anything. “So please accept this.”“If I accept this, will you take out a ring next?” Rebecca asked.“No, not anytime soon,” Jim assured her.Rebecca then took the rose.Rye captured that on her mobile and felt excited. “I can’t wait to show this picture to Benjamin. I wonder how he’ll react.”“He’ll obviously be heart broken, thinking she accepted his love or something,” Uzza said. “Are you trying to trick him by showing this picture?”“I will just show him this picture. He’s free to imagine whatever he wants from seeing this picture,” Rye retorted.Jim, on the other hand, also felt quite excited that Rebecca had taken the rose. “You didn’t eat the ice cream, so let me bring you something else. Do you prefer anything?”“Any sweet fruit would do,” Rebecca said. She was now willing to entertain him a
Kathy and Amber were wearing their beautiful maid outfits and were pouring drinks from the wine carafes.It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that some men finished the wine in their glasses so that they could have these gorgeous maids to refresh their drinks. And who knew how many of them wanted to taste those feminine charms of these young maids? When Kathy especially poured wine by tilting toward them, allowing her dress to gap just enough to give an enticing view of her cleavage, the young and old men alike felt like loins tightening. They couldn’t tell if Kathy was doing it on purpose or not, and they couldn’t be blamed because Kathy was such a master at it.Kathy had been playing the bed sport with Jacob for a long time now, so playing these little games with other men and seeing their reactions gave her a thrill. This excited her more than compared to the regular waiting at the table for the Sterling family members.There were a few men who gave her devouring looks and lascivi
Rye told Uzza to enter the villa and take care of any issues that might spring up during the conversation between Andrew Sehla and Selena Sterling.Uzza sat right next to Selena and Jacob on the couch, which gave them a lot of confidence and helped them not feel intimidated by the fact that they were in front of the president.Andrew sat with one leg on top of another. His body language suggested that he was confident. And so did his two bodyguards who were standing behind him.Kathy and Amber used their beauty to try and distract the president and the guards as much as possible, but neither of those three were even batting an eyelid before them.“What the hell is wrong with these people?” Kathy hissed under her breath. “Are these guys eunuchs or what?”“Maybe your seduction skills are not as great as you thought?” Amber talked to her.Kathy smiled and told her to shut up. She did not give up but stayed in the front so that she would fall in the men’s eyes.Selena started the conversa
Uzza’s statement was simple, but it made the security guards immediately point their guns toward her.Selena and Jacob felt their spines shivering from that. Even Kathy and Amber were not able to stand firmly on their feet.“Bury me next to my son?” Andrew narrowed his eyes, his sharp gaze focusing on Uzza. “Are you saying that my son is buried underground?”“Yeah, and he should rise tomorrow if everything goes right,” Uzza replied.Andrew was confused by her words, and so did others. “What nonsense are you talking about? If he’s buried, how is he going to rise again?”“It’s difficult to explain,” Uzza picked a bunch of roasted nuts and began to crunch on them. “So, why don’t I just make you experience it yourself?”“Kill her,” Andrew said.The guards were ready to shoot, but Uzza flicked her thumbs, and two roasted almonds flew and struck the foreheads of the guards and knocked them out of their senses before their fingers could even touch the trigger.Seeing the guards collapse, eve
“This is no ordinary night. Look at the sky, the stars are blessing, the moon is smiling, and the world is celebrating a love story of its own,” a journalist who was a good friend of Selena was talking to the camera. “Jacob and Selena Sterling are still in deep love with each other, so there was just no way they would let a milestone go uncelebrated. Let’s go and talk to Selena’s eldest laughter, who’s quite a looker herself.”She came over to Rebecca who was running away from the camera. But the journalist didn’t give up. She chased her and intercepted her.“Just a few questions, Ms. Rebecca,” she said. “Your mother who’s in her fifties without wrinkles or gray hair, told us that this was a surprise party set up by you. You must really love your parents, right?”“Who doesn’t love their parents?” Rebecca was looking away from the camera.“Haha, please look toward the camera,” the journalist chuckled. “You can’t be shy when your mother is one of the greatest actresses this world has ev
The journalist and the cameraman ran away from Jane’s punch-packed story. If Rebecca hadn’t stopped her, Jane would have chased them to the streets.“Do you realize what you’ve done? All the people who were watching it live would have thought of you as a fool and a comedian!” Rebecca blurted angrily.“I don’t care about what strangers think about me, Rebs,” Jane wrapped her arm around Rebecca’s neck. “They were troubling you, so I took care of them. If they come again, I’ll do it again.” She acted like she was drunk. “I know you’re going through tough times, but sometimes things have to get worse before they get better. I’m sure good days are ahead of you, my friend.”“Stop the drama. The camera is no longer focused on us!” Rebecca hissed at her.“I know, but I also know that you’re sad,” Jane said. “Ever since the party started, your brothers hadn’t greeted you. It’s like they have demoted themselves to relative status. I’m sure you’re saddened by it.”Rebecca pursed her lips a littl
In the end, Andrew was buried underground, though not as much as Samuel got buried before.“Do you guys realize what you’ve done!” Samuel was growling in pure anger, feeling literal chills down his spine. “He is the president of the country! How can you do this to him?”“If you miss your dad so much, then why don’t you share the grave with him?” Jacob began to push Samuel toward the grave, but Samuel backed away.He was feeling really weak now, which was why he wasn’t buried again as he might really die this time.“You’ve got a role to play, Samuel,” Selena said. “You will go out to the front yard and greet the guests and act like everything is fine. As long as you’re out there in their faces, they won’t think of Andrew. We can slowly send the guests off one by one. Until then, you better stick to the script. Or you’ll be put back in your grave. You understand?”“I do,” Samuel was crying like a weak woman right now. “I will do anything, so just let me go home.”It was disgusting to s
Veronica and Akash were talking with Rebecca, and she thanked Akash for bringing her sister back safely.“I’m not a kid, sis,” Veronica retorted. “I had many guys chasing me while you were still wondering why the moon is following you!”“You shouldn’t talk like that in front of your husband,” Rebecca twisted her ear.“Aw!”Akash laughed. “My eyes feel so satisfied now. My parents and I couldn’t do anything to her even though she’s made things difficult for us. So, it’s good to see her get put in her place.”Veronica gave him a side eye, as if telling him she’d deal with him after they would get to the room.Akash’s heart thudded against his ribcage. “I-I was just joking, of course.” He looked around. “By the way, where’s Brother Benjamin?”“Mm?” Rebecca looked at him. “Benjamin, or Benyamin?”“Akash, it was Benyamin, and he’s no more,” Veronica said. “Did you forget it already?”Akash’s expression changed. He realized he shouldn’t have said that. “I’m sorry, sister-in-law.”“It’s fine
