Rebecca came to her room. Benjamin was bathing, so she had to wait.After he came out, she told him, “I’ll go first from tomorrow. Remember that.”“W-What? What if I came home early?” Benjamin asked.“You won’t. I’ll be picking you from work every day,” she replied.“Y-You will?” Benjamin’s heart fluttered for a second. “Why? That wasn’t part of the bet.”“I have my reasons,” she said. “Just make sure you don’t make me wait at your shop. I hate waiting.” Saying that she entered the bathroom.Benjamin was all smiles. “I’ll ask her to take us to a restaurant tomorrow,” he thought. He didn’t yet share a meal with her, so he was really eager to do it.Benjamin then came out to the balcony to get some fresh air. Because the sun had gone down, the breeze should be cooling off, he thought, but Bella and Louis were also there, comfortably sitting on a lawn chair.Amber was serving them raw red beet juice. Louis and Bella were currently in their vampire forms, but they had cast an illusion on

Benjamin came out of the villa and started jogging.A car with four guys inside had been following him. They traveled miles behind him, and it annoyed them. “How much longer is this cunt going to run?”“Why don’t we just run over him and get it done with?”“We’re supposed to harass him, remember?”Just then, Benjamin stopped in front of a mobile shop. He bought a second-hand button mobile as well as a sim card in the very next shop. It cost him sixty dollars in total.And then he walked straight toward the car.“Shit. He’s coming this way,” they still sat like they didn’t know him.Benjamin knocked on the door.They lowered the glass window. “What’s up, mate?”“Why are you following me, mate?” Benjamin asked with a smile on his face.“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” as he said, he immediately took his gun out and pointed it at Benjamin. “Shut your mouth and stand there.” He then looked at his friends. “Fetch him.”Two of them got out of the car and forcibly put Benjamin in. H

Benjamin woke up and realized that the time was one o’clock in the afternoon, and Rebecca wasn’t there in the room.He tried to come out, but the door was locked.“Hello, anybody out there?” he called out loud. “Open the door, please.”Delle heard him and was coming to open the door, but Elizabeth signaled her from a distance, telling her to mind her own business.Delle quietly went away.Benjamin understood the situation and didn’t shout anymore.Dorothy and Elizabeth were having fun because they locked the door with the master key which Elizabeth had taken from Selena that morning. They wanted Benjamin to suffer in the room until evening, as they were planning to unlock the door before Rebecca came home.Benjamin, however, opened the window and climbed down the walls using the grooves and comfortably came down.He entered the building right away.Lisa and Roshan were both staring at their mobiles. “You didn’t go to school?”“Jet lag,” Roshan replied.“Ah-huh,” Benjamin didn’t say an

After Rebecca came home, Benjamin didn’t tell her that her mother was admonishing him unfairly, as he didn’t want Rebecca to feel bad and annoyed because she came from long hours of work. He didn’t tell her what Elizabeth had done, either, by locking the door and trying to trap him in the room for who knew how long?However, when Rebecca asked him the question, ‘Where were you last night?’ he felt like he was perhaps doing the wrong thing by keeping things to himself. Since Rebecca was deeply craving honesty as well as transparency, why not tell her the truth?And then Benjamin explained to her what had happened last night,Rebecca raised her eyebrows. “You’re telling me that you went out to buy a sim card, and some people threatened you and took you to a casino, where you dealt with the gangsters and returned home?”“Yep, I didn’t tell you every detail, but that’s the gist of it,” Benjamin said.Rebecca grabbed his hand and checked his knuckles. “I don’t see any bruises. How do you e

For the next few days, the workload escalated to the aether for Benjamin. Not only did he have to work as a delivery guy during the day time, he came home and had to take part in cooking along with the maids who showed their attitude before him, especially Amber and Kathy who were cousins. If not for Sheron keeping them in check, they would have made his life even harder.Benjamin understood that the maids did not respect him much anymore now that he stepped into the kitchen to cook. After all, nobody in the sterling family would enter the kitchen to cook. He was the first one who was told to cook. Since he was being treated with not much respect by Selena and Elizabeth, the maids also naturally learned from that and began to stop doing their work and push all that load onto Benjamin.For instance, Amber was the one who used to wash the dishes after every meal, but now, Amber was giving the excuse that she was having a headache, and she told Benjamin to take care of it.Kathy told him
