About 600 families were invited to the wedding, including the Sterling family. And they were all chatting in the garden between the castle and the outer wall.“There are more guests than I thought,” Benjamin was following Rebecca from a distance. “Was I worried over nothing?” He looked in the direction of Selena. She was talking with a big group of her lady fans. “Mother sure is popular. But if only she controlled her attitude, she’d be more popular, I think. Mm?” Just then, he noticed someone approaching Rebecca and starting a conversation with her.It was Arthur Hellmann, the first son of the Hellmann family, who was forty-eight years old and was mostly bald.Benjamin patiently waited, but even after five minutes passed, Arthur was still talking with her. He couldn’t watch anymore and joined their conversation. “Hello, ma’am,” he came up from behind and gently tucked Rebecca’s hair behind her ear with his fingers.Rebecca wouldn’t let anyone touch her hair, but now, she forced herse

A lovely jazz song was being sung at the wedding in the background by popular music artist Jack Armstrong.“Fabulous occasion, showering jubilation, hearts in levitation. Can you feel the sensation? All in celebration.“Wonderful revelation, Selena fascination, hearts in-toxication. Can you feel the sensation? All in adoration…”The song set a nice tone that soothed people’s moods, and Selena loved how her name was incorporated into the song, and she felt elevated. She raised a glass of wine and showered a pretty smile at Jack who went on to sing that her smile could cure depression and that her presence would be a great blessing for the ones starting a new relationship.It wasn’t just Selena that was praised but all the important guests, each of whom were addressed through different types of songs.Veronica was secretly recording it. “I’ve never heard this type of music before. It’s so fresh. I’ll have these types of songs played at my wedding, too.”Rebecca heard her words and smirk

Rebecca said she would need to go to the bathroom and left Benjamin’s side. After all, her heart felt greatly disturbed by the little things that Benjamin did. His words might not have stirred her heart with much success, but when he wiped her tear away, which was a very intimate act, her heart swelled with a strange emotion she couldn’t comprehend, much less describe it.And she didn’t want to be around Benjamin right now.Benjamin didn’t follow her for obvious reasons, even though he wanted to. After all, she was going to the portable women’s washroom.After she left, Benjamin opened his hand, and on his palm was a crystalized tear. He could see its shape and structure, and it was telling him a little story.He put his hand in his pocket.He faintly smiled as he felt his heart beating strangely. It was as if his blood swirled around his heart like a cyclone charged with the rush of youthfulness.Just then, Shawn was walking past him, and he briefly stopped and looked at Benjamin. “Y

Veronica thought she died, but the very next fraction of a second, she saw the back of the man in black-suit.He somehow covered almost fifty feet and arrived here in no time and even took the bullet for her. Why would he do such a thing for her?She was under the impression that he died defending her.Unlike her, Arthur had a completely stunned expression as he looked at the white-masked man who was holding the bullet between his forefinger and middle finger.“A-Are you a vampire?” Arthur asked hesitantly.The masked man formed a barrier so that Veronica wouldn’t be able to hear anything, “Why are you comparing me with blood sucking, flesh eating, and life leeching creatures?” He walked forward.“D-Don’t kill me,” Arthur hastily said. “I’ll give you money. As much as you want.”“You tried to harm me twice. First, with the wine, and then next with the dart, which you yourself threw,” the masked man said. “You are a superhuman to an extent, so why don’t you cut your crappy acting?”Art

“Sis, you are thinking too much,” Veronica hissed at her sister.“Am I?” Rebecca immediately slapped Veronica. “Shut your mouth, will you? Don’t take me for a dumb woman just because I mind my business, Veronica.”Her slap was neither weak nor strong. It was just hard enough to make Veronica feel the pain, both physical as well as emotional pain.Rebecca did slap Veronica multiple times in the past, but not once after growing up. It had been more than decade at least since Veronica was slapped by her sister or parents for being foolish and rebellious.So, now, her eyes turned teary because she was slapped in front of so many guests. Though not everyone paid attention to what happened because they were talking on the side, she still felt humiliated because of what her sister did.Veronica ran away straight to her mother.“She didn’t do anything wrong,” Benjamin told Rebecca.“Shut up,” Rebecca hissed back, raising her forefinger at him. “I was a fool to behave with you like we’re on th
