Rebecca was reading private messages on her social media accounts.“Do you do hook-ups? I can pay a thousand per night.”“You’re much prettier than your mother. Please let me lick your toes.”“Can we meet? I’ll do whatever you want.”“I’ll happily pay ten grand for your underwear.”“I earn over 100K a year. Can we go out on a date?”“Are you really married? If not, I can divorce my wife and marry you. Is that okay?”Rebecca was grinding her teeth as she scrolled through the messages. She was not much of a social media person, but she just wanted to check her online profiles once to see how they were doing, but she didn’t expect a long list of messages from perverts.“These idiots have no other business? How can they be so shameless? How can I change the settings so strangers can’t post me messages? I should ask Veronica. She knows better about these things.”She called Veronica, but her sister didn’t answer. “What’s she doing?” she tried again, but there was no response.She put the m

The zero squad of David’s security service was made of war veterans. They normally didn’t meet unless it was an order from David or Luther. Today, after receiving a call from Luther, they all gathered at the Rye’s Pizzas. All twelve of them, excluding Luther.“To kill a pizza delivery guy, you gathered all of the zero squad,” the one with the tattoo 2 on his chin said, his arms folded tightly. Unlike the rest, he didn’t seem to be interested in pizzas. “This is an overkill among overkills.”“Our task is not to kill but to cut his balls off,” Luther reminded them once again. “Let’s put egos aside and work together.”“Isn’t one of us enough to do the job?” the one with the number 1 tattoo on his forehead said, chewing bubble gum. “Who’s this son-in-law that you wanted all of us on this job?”“I called you all just to be on the safe side. Besides, this is what Young Master Artur wanted.”“Ho, so it’s personal to him. Then it can’t be helped. Are we gonna brood here until that guy shows u

Jane was with her mother, buying a wedding dress in a Myers’ store.“Why are you interested in a cheaper one?” her mother vehemently asked. “He gave you the permission to buy one that’s at most a million dollars, didn’t he?”Jane smiled and said, “He did, but I don’t want to waste money on something I’m not even gonna wear often.”“Why are you thinking so much? It’s his money!”“His money is still money, isn’t it? We should spend it wisely, mom, especially after we get married and become a family.”“Huh, talk about irony. You have such a rich boyfriend, but you don’t have what it takes to spend. If it was me, I would have bought a dress worth over a million dollars!” she boasted.Jane slapped her mother’s wrist. “We can buy a nice house with that much money. You want me to spend that on a wedding dress?” she reproached. “Not happening!”After some quarreling, Jane’s mother could only give up. Her daughter was more stubborn than her in matters related to money, after all.In the end, J

Rebecca had gone to Jane’s apartment to talk with her friend and to show her the obscene video. She didn’t want to share it online like Benjamin had because it was a sensitive matter. However, the little stunt Donovan pulled left her baffled. She ended up leaving the place without saying a word to him.But she had no idea that her best friend had seen her and her boyfriend interacting and totally misunderstood the situation, broke down into tears and dissolved into distress she had never experienced before.Jane didn’t even go to her apartment but went somewhere on foot, still crying in public, not caring what others thought. She sat on a random bench as sadness soaked her cheeks. The traffic sounds didn’t even matter. Time passed, but her heart didn’t stop beating ferociously. The sweet reminders Donovan left on her body were still there, and they stung a lot more now. The rippling waves of rage burned her from the top of her skin to the depths of her heart. If it was someone else, s

Elizabeth and her family returned to the villa, only to see the income tax officers searching the whole place, not leaving a single object untouched. Even her newly bought painting was being carefully examined.When Elizabeth and her family entered the villa, their mobiles and their purses were taken away. They were made to sit on a couch just like Selena, Shawn, Veronica, and Rebecca, but the children were allowed to go outside.The adults, however, were only allowed to talk when the officers asked them questions. The officers treated the Sterling family members coldly, but some of them secretly flirted with the maids. Some even went as far asking them to lift their skirts. Selena secretly signaled Kathy to please them, and she did.“These recent purchases…” one officer started questioning Elizabeth about the things she bought at the auction. They cost over 70 million dollars overall, and that revelation shocked Selena and Shawn. Later, Shawn had to give an account as to where that w
