The next morning.Shawn had just come out of Rebecca’s room with the divorce papers, and he didn’t look happy. Asking his sister so many times hurt his pride, but he had no other choice right now.Meanwhile, inside her room, Rebecca was putting minimum makeup on her face. Jane was on the call.“You are going to see him on a date?” Jane couldn’t believe what she was hearing. “For an entire day? Are you serious?”“You and my family may think I’m crazy, but I’m not ignoring my intuition,” replied Rebecca.“Your intuition?”“Yeah.”“Didn’t I tell he just hit Donovan yesterday?” Jane raised her voice. “That guy is a thug. He has no respect for others. It’s because he was your husband, Donovan is controlling himself from going after him. You get that, don’t you? He’s a seasoned fighter. He can eat Benjamin for snacks if he wants.”“You’re not telling me the reason he hit your boyfriend,” Rebecca said, “but I’m sure he had a reason, didn’t he?”“Tsk, do whatever you want. Why should I care?”

Langdon Campbell had invited all of Jacob’s family for the special party tonight. The party was being held for many reasons, but the primary reason was because Langdon bought many paintings in auctions, some of which were originals of Picasso.In truth, Artur wanted to buy one of Picasso’s paintings, but David Bonsbell advised him to not give competition to Langdon.Langdon was the wealthiest governor of the country with a net worth of over five billion dollars, which was low compared to David’s wealth, but Langdon had the priceless political power behind him. If he refused to sign the bills, a lot of David’s businesses would take big blows, after all.Even though Artur didn’t like it, he had to swallow his pride and visit the party.The same could be said for Rebecca. Because Selena was still recovering, Jacob asked Rebecca that she should accompany him in her mother’s place and as the eldest daughter of the family.Shawn also attended along with Elizabeth and the rest of her family,

“Can I have your number, please?” A man approached Veronica and asked for her phone number, but she turned away from him. “Excuse me, miss.” he asked again.“You are excused,” she replied.“Geez,” he shook his head and walked away.“Hmph, every Tom, Dick, and Harry wants my number these days,” she murmured to herself and then walked up to a waiter. His handsome features struck her ego at once. Tall and charming, especially with the long ponytail he had. His thick eyebrows were an added attraction. If only he wasn’t a mere waiter, she wouldn’t mind asking him out on a date, she thought. “What’s with that ponytail?” she still ended up starting a conversation with him.“It’s a wig, ma’am.”“Eh?” she was shocked. “I should have known. What do you do by the way, other than serving drinks, I mean.”“I follow people from the shadows,” he replied with a blank expression.“You mean…” she observed his expression. “Stalking?”“Something like that,” he said, maintaining the poker face.Veronica p

“Hey,” Benjamin waved his hand before Rebecca. Only then she started blinking. “Are you fine?”“Y-Yeah, I”m fine,” Rebecca picked up the glass and sipped on the spicy lemonade. Her eyes, however, stole glances at him. He looked ten times more manly and cooler in this jacket and jeans. The helmet was resting on his thigh. He was spinning the keys around his forefinger and looked completely comfortable and lively. The only thing she didn’t like was his beard. It was eating away most of his looks.Jane, on the other hand, couldn’t look at Benjamin. The last time they met, she had slapped him, after all.After Benjamin sat at their table, the atmosphere slowly but surely changed. Benjamin didn’t say a word, but the male energy made the two women go silent for a little while. He didn’t do anything other than sit in between them, but he seemed dominant for some reason.“You got your job back at Rye’s Pizzas?” asked Rebecca, sporting an awkward smile.He nodded. “How’s your mother doing?”“S

“The wider street has many turns and speed bumps because of the schools,” Benjamin stated.“It’s okay. You can enter the wider one,” she said, having no clue she would regret her decision big time.Benjamin happily drove through the wider street, and the many speed bumps made sure her chest kept bumping into his back very many times. Her face flushed into an orange tomato pretty fast. She wanted to cover her chest with her hands, but she was too afraid to let go of him. In the end, she had to bear through everything.After reaching the end of that street, Benjamin squeezed the brake and asked, “Do you want to go through the narrow way?”Rebecca squinted her eyes. If she were to say yes, he would turn the bike and make it go over all the speed bumps again. “No!” she quickly responded in a grudging manner. Forget about getting turned on, she felt so embarrassed right now.“Are you sure?” he asked innocently.“I’m sure. Super sure. Never been more sure about something in my entire life.”
