On that same night.Benjamin was sitting out under a tree in the backyard, waiting for the moon to come out.But Riley came up to him first, “What are you doing out here in the cold weather?”“You’re not going to scream again and put blame on me, are you?” Benjamin took his mobile out and started recording.“OH, stop it. I’m not that bad,” Riley casually said, sitting next to him and opening the alcohol bottle. She took a sip and gave him the bottle.“Thanks but no,” he gently pushed the bottle away.“Why not? Are you afraid that your girlfriend might get mad at you?”“No.”“Then why?”“Not in the mood for a drink right now,” Benjamin said, plucking grass off the ground.“You know,” Riley brought the bottle closer to her mouth and made gestures with her lips, trying to seduce him. “I felt butterflies in my stomach when I first saw you.”“Love isn’t butterflies in the stomach, though,” Benjamin said. “It’s working your ass off for the one you love. It’s about what you do, not how you f
Rebecca was having trouble sleeping once more.She was imagining all kinds of weird things, such as Benjamin giving her a rose, Benjamin taking her to the beach and so on.“Where the hell are my thoughts heading? This is all so bizarre!” she slapped her cheeks twice.She had never dreamed of any man before, so what’s happening these past couple of days was quite strange and embarrassing for her, especially considering that she was married and Benjamin had a girlfriend.“Did the parasite that left Veronica come to me or what?”Rebecca kept having crazy thoughts, which kept getting crazier as the night passed.In the end, she couldn’t sleep at all, so she walked out of the room and was heading to the balcony.Just then, she saw Fiona knocking on the door of her brother’s room.Jacob opened the door, while smoking a pipe. “What is it, Fiona? Disturbing at this hour… you better have a good reason for it.”“My reason will shake your soul, Brother,” Fiona said.“Oh, and what would that be?”
“MOM!” Rebecca cried in horror.She ran to the railing and looked down, only to see that Benyamin and Benjamin together caught her in their arms and saved her.Rebecca let out a loud breath in big relief.Had they not caught her, she might have gotten badly injured or worse.Jacob and others rushed out of their rooms because of Rebecca’s shout.“What? What happened?” Jacob rushed over to her.Veronica and a few others also gathered along with Lisa and Roshan.Louis and Bella also came, but not their kids.Fiona’s family members were also quick to show up, but Fiona and Fennor took their time and slowly entered the scene.“Mom heard what happened in the room,” Rebecca told Jacob.He looked down and Selena was still shocked. She sat down on the couch, staring emptily.Her first son, Shawn, was a murderer, and he killed his own father-in-law. This was something quite hard for her to digest.How would Dorothy feel if she were to know this?At the same time, Elizabeth was dragging Shawn by
The next morning.Shawn packed his clothes in a trolley and was coming down the stairs. Lisa and Roshan didn’t even want to talk to him, and Elizabeth wouldn’t have let them talk to him, either.Jacob and Selena were in the hall.Shawn looked at them.“You brought this on yourself, Shawn. Now, bear with it,” Jacob said.Jacob’s words were harsh, but those words also made sense to him.Shawn looked up at the first floor, where Louis and Bella were watching.As usual, they had little to nothing to say.Shawn walked toward the main door.Rebecca and Veronica were at the door.Seeing his sisters, Shawn’s heart grew heavy. He thought at least they would feel bad for him.With tears in her eyes, Veronica removed the Richard Mille watch and put it in his hand. “If you sell it, you’ll get close to 800K. If you want more money, I will give you all the other gifts you gave me over the years, so… don’t take more lives.”Shawn’s heart felt like it was being hacked to a thousand pieces by her word
Rye immediately jumped from the balcony and drifted through the air like a kite, traveling more than 250 feet before landing between Dahlia and the dogs.The street dogs were scared by the sudden, scary arrival of Rye. On top of that, her cold gaze made them tuck their tails between their legs and run away, squealing as though they were the ones that were being harrassed.“Such cunning actors, even the dogs of this outer world,” Rye voiced her mind, then looked at Dahlia. “Why were you running?”“The dogs didn’t seem like my hair,” Dahlia said. “They might have thought it’s a wig.”“No, that’s not what I was asking. Why did you run in the first place? Couldn’t you have scared them?” Rye said.“I came here after promising to Master Ryan that I wouldn’t get angry no matter what happens,” Dahlia said, smiling with sadness in her eyes.Rye sucked in a deep breath and then showered a smile before putting her arm around Dahlia’s shoulder.“You came at the right time. Let’s have some herbal
Rye and Uzza stopped right after entering the dorms.Dahlia approached the bed, uttering the word, “Neel…”The familiar voice made Benyamin frown. “I don’t know who you are. Go away, woman!”“I’m not talking to you,” Dahlia replied. “I’m talking to Neel.”“Neel is no more. Only Benyamin will exist from now on,” he replied. “So, leave!”“A man without self-control is like a city broken into and left without walls,” Dahlia said. “Currently, your body is broken into by something, and you’re in a vulnerable state now, Neel. I don’t know what made you lose control over yourself, but… I can’t let you give up on yourself. If you can hear me, then say something.”Benyamin, however, didn’t respond at all.“Say that you love me, Neel,” Dahlia added. “Turn around and look at me. Don’t you like it when I put lilies in my head? I have a lily in my head. Look.”The tips of Benyamin's feet began to tremble ever so slightly.Dahlia noticed that.“Neel is no more. Leave!” Benyamin raised his voice, wh
In Rebecca’s room.Rebecca’s eyes were red. She couldn’t sleep properly last night, either. The reason wasn’t because of the weird thoughts she kept having about Benjamin but the thing her brother had done affected her so much she couldn’t sleep.Her mother wanted all of the Sterling family members to be together, but things started falling apart.And only one person came to Rebecca’s mind right now.“Fiona… that woman… she purposely revealed such a sensitive thing to Dad and caused all this to happen,” Rebecca grew angry and frustrated. “She wanted to break the family, which is why she did this. But where did she get that information from? From whom? Who would have known about what Shawn did and still kept silent about it only to later reveal to Fiona?”It didn’t take long for her to come to the conclusion that it was probably George who told Fiona what happened.“I won’t believe anything George says, but… I looked in my brother’s eyes and… it seems he’s guilty of what he’s done,” Re
Everyone in Fiona’s family was momentarily stunned by what Rebecca did.Seeing his wife get slapped, Fennor swiftly stepped forward to attack Rebecca, but he heard a cold voice through his soul right now.“Hey…”It was just a simple but thick ‘hey’ that came from the side, but it froze Fennor in his tracks. He looked to his right, and Benjamin was standing there, his arms folded across his chest.“Instead of disciplining your wife, why are you attacking Rebecca?” Benjamin asked.“And who the fuck are you? This is family business,” Fennor growled. “So shut your mouth and get lost!”“I don’t need to be your family to call a spade a spade,” Benjamin walked up to them. “All of you… Apologize to her for running your mouths and laughing against her, or…”“Or what?” Fennor snorted. “What can you possibly do?”“I will do nothing. It will be you guys who’ll be moving… out of this house, I mean,” Benjamin said.“Pfft, you think you have the capability to do that?”“I wouldn’t have said it if I

Some days later.Sofia Myers ordered pizza from an apartment she had recently bought.And to her surprise, it was Benjamin who delivered it.“It’s you?” Sofia remembered him. “Aren’t you Rebecca’s husband? You both are having an official wedding soon, right? Why are you still working as a pizza-delivery guy?”“I have my reasons,” Benjamin replied. “And it’s more of a part-time job now.”“Okay, come on in,” Sofia told him.When he entered the apartment, there were over a dozen females there, smoking and drinking.“This guy is Benjamin, a mighty pizza-delivery guy who married a bald woman,” Sofia started making fun of him to make her friends laugh.Benjamin quickly countered her, saying, “It seems your husband has left you to your pleasures. I’m not surprised, though I might not have done the same thing.”Sofia gritted her teeth and threw her mobile at him.Benjamin caught it with ease. “A woman who easily gets angry will have a hard time obtaining a place in any man’s heart.”“Get the
Samuel Sehla and Kathy started dating.And Amber began to work for the Sehla family now, acting as a spy for Kathy.Samuel’s wife, Kismet, got sent divorce papers. Half of her face was still paralyzed.She tore the divorce papers into pieces. “How could you do this to me, Samuel! I will not let you get what you want!” she screamed madly. “Never!”Andrew Sehla, on the other hand, was busy dealing with all the new troubles and terror he was facing ever since he tried to do some good after getting forced by Benjamin a few weeks back.“I don’t have much longer to live anyway,” Andrew thought. “So I’ll live it in a way that it doesn’t leave any regrets.”Knowing that his time was short, he started passing some groundbreaking laws in the country.In the Sterling villa.George was begging his mother Dorothy to let him be the driver of the Sterling family.Dorothy didn’t know that George knew about Shawn killing Nolan beforehand.So she told him that he could work as a driver, but then Elizab
“Why can’t I meet him once?” Lisa yelled at her mom. “If you’re not going to let him see me, then I’ll leave this house!”“You think I’ll come running after you?” Elizabeth yelled back. “Leave the house if you want! No one is stopping you!”Lisa then angrily left the house and walked away on her bare feet, crying and shedding tears.It had been weeks since she had seen her dad, and she just wanted to talk to him once more and know how he was doing, but her mother was not even letting her contact her dad.Lisa didn’t know for how long she walked, but her stomach started growling.It was twelve in the afternoon, and she hadn’t eaten anything. So, she was really hungry now.She looked across the street. There was a bakery.Lisa touched her pockets and frowned as she didn’t have any money.She put her hand on her abdomen and rubbed it for a few seconds and was then walking away.“Lisa, what are you doing here?” Benjamin who was traveling in a truck had just made the driver stop the vehicl
In Sciocidad also known as the Sky City.“So she asked for more time…” Ryan sighed.He became the temporary ruler of the Wolfe clan.“Both Benjamin and Rye have left this seat, which is something that never happened before,” Ryan’s voice was gritty yet sad. “This doesn’t set a good example for the coming generations, especially given that we’re living in the end times.”“Don’t tell me, you’re planning on making someone else the sovereign?” Uzza quickly asked.“No, not yet,” Ryan replied. “We’ve lost a lot already. We can’t be wasting our people’s time or give them false hope. It is better to pick a new ruler, but I will wait a little longer.”Even though Ryan didn’t say it, Uzza felt that the time limit would probably be six months.“Come back soon, Rye,” Uzza wished in her heart.Elsewhere in the same city, in a dark dungeon.“With a friend like you around, what’s the need for enemies?” Benyamin was hissing at Dahlia as she poured her spiritual energy into Benyamin’s spine relentles
Rye’s POV:My first and only love has truly left me.After cutting my heart into pieces without making me bleed… That’s how he left me.My tears won’t fall.I can’t feel anything.Neither sadness nor regret.Nothing.Even though my one and only love has abandoned me, I can’t even shed tears.Just what kind of a person am I?What kind of a woman have I become?I keep cutting onions in one the huts of Rye’s Pizzas, but even the raw onions are not able to bring me to tears.“How long are you going to keep doing this?” A voice washed my back.Without turning, I knew that it was my mom Uzza.“Choose someone else as the sovereign,” I said, continuing to cut the chillies, hoping at least the chillies would elevate my anger.“You’re making the same mistake that Benjamin did,” my mom sighed. “Everyone is waiting for you, so please come back.”“I have no intention of returning any time soon,” I replied.My mom’s hand touched my shoulder. She slowly turned me around.Our eyes locked each other.
A few days later.At six in the morning.Rebecca woke up and found Benjamin resting with his head at her legs. “Benjamin, why are you sleeping the other way? You’re not a cat. Sleep next to me!”Benjamin rolled over to her side and lay next to her, sharing the same pillow. “Last night, I woke up for water, and then I saw the mole on your thigh, and I wanted to sleep next to it.”Rebecca’s face flushed very much. “Stop it, you are talking like a child!”“Aren’t we both still children in our relationship?” Benjamin gently touched her chin and planted a kiss on her cheek.Rebecca’s face gained some more blood. The same could be said for Benjamin. Both of them were fair and were in the prime of their age, so they appeared a thousand times more attractive when blood rushed to their faces.After Benjamin kissed her, Rebecca felt her emotions stirring up again. She pulled the blanket up and covered both of them and hugged him tightly and showered kisses on him.“I think it’s time for breakfa
The moment blood gushed out of Rebecca’s neck, while her eyes were staring at him, Benjamin immediately snapped.“BENYAMIN~~!!”His roar reverberated through the hearts of all the people there, shaking their very souls.Benjamin’s suit was ripped to pieces as he grew into a mighty silver werewolf and leaped forth.In a flash, Benjamin’s claws cut through Benyamin’s shoulder and snatched Rebecca.Benjamin vanished from people’s sight and landed on the rooftop.Dahlia and Uzza took Benyamin and also vanished from there.Rye stood frozen, and so did Selena and everyone from the Sterling family. The guests were also thrown into chaos as a man had turned into a monster right before their eyes.Louis and Bella were quick to act. They cast a wide spell together, which swiftly erased the recent memory of this wedding itself.However, they did not remove the memories of those from the Sterling family.Almost every guest collapsed on the floor afterward, but Selena and others were still standin
The wedding night has arrived on time just like the full moon in all of its splendor.Rebecca did not look happy because Selena did not send invitations to most of the people she should have.Selena didn’t want this wedding news to be spread around the world, either, so she tried her best to suppress it from behind the scenes.Jacob also played his part in doing what his wife wanted him to.Shawn entered the villa, wearing a disguise, as he wanted to see his sister’s marriage and also see his wife and kids once.The wedding was taking place in the front yard.Benjamin was standing in the distance, far from the crowd.Jane and Veronica brought Rye out of the villa. Dressed in dazzling white, she looked like the walking moon.Benjamin didn’t even look in her direction as his back faced the villa.Holding a bouquet of white roses and lilies, she waited for the groom.Moments later, Benyamin also walked out of the villa, as escorted by none but himself. With a hand in his pocket, he walke
