Benjamin returned to the villa at around six in the morning.Just then, Selena also came home.“Where did she go the entire night?” Benjamin wondered. “Did she have a night shoot again? She’s not wearing any makeup, though.” He noticed the booklet in her hand and saw the word ‘bet’ on it.He paused for a few seconds. He remembered telling her not to trust anybody with betting.“Was she betting somewhere?” he thought, but then didn’t ponder much about it. Betting wasn’t uncommon among the rich. He knew that Selena was very careful when it came to money so he believed that she wouldn’t make any foolish bets.Selena went to her room and put the file in her locker, and then changed her dress. She looked at herself in the mirror. “I’ve taken a big risk. The biggest risk ever. If I succeed, I’ll become a billionaire. Then I’ll be able to buy this villa back, and then half a billion will still be left.” She lowered her head and prayed. “I haven’t prayed in a long time, but God, if you’re lis

After breakfast, Rebecca went upstairs. She went to the balcony. It was still eight o’clock, so the sunlight was warm and pleasant.She grabbed the parapet wall and looked around. Nobody was around, so she began to talk to herself. “Is modeling career really that bad? I know many models, but almost all of them have dated many people. Some of them date too many to count. There are a few that don’t go out to the parties and date crazily, but they won’t get into the limelight unless they’re really lucky. If I wasn’t successful early in my life, it would have been hard for me to rise to fame as a fashion designer.“Luck or not, the beginning of my modeling career was relatively smooth, even though I did work hard. There were many instances where models approached me, but I didn’t care about them, as they were only looking for time-pass relationships. If not for my background, they would have definitely troubled me. So, I’m lucky in that regard, too. Having a strong background does help in

A couple of days passed.It was the day of the election now.Selena, Jacob, Shawn, Elizabeth, Dorothy, and the maids were all heading outside to vote.Selena had just argued with Rebecca for almost half an hour, telling her the importance of voting, but Rebecca didn’t listen.Rebecca had never before because she didn’t believe in voting.Selena, however, wanted her to vote for the presidential candidate named Hudson. Selena wanted to make sure that Hudson would win, so she told everyone to vote for Hundson, and she even took the maids along with her.Rebecca and Veronica were on the balcony right now.Rebecca looked a bit shocked. “A million dollars? Why the hell do you want to send that much money to Akash’s family?”“Let’s have them buy lots of properties in his country, sis,” Veronica said. “We don’t have to do real estate just in our country.”“Don’t be foolish. If we send our money there, a lot of money will be lost through taxes,” Rebecca said. “Besides, you should never trust o

Rebecca received a call from Sofia Myers. She answered it.Sofia asked her, “Hi, I have a little issue with one of my friends. My cards are not working right now, so can you send my friend a million dollars right now?”Rebecca frowned. “A million?”“Yeah. Is it possible?”Rebecca pursed her lips. She only had a little over a million dollars left in the bank. Normally, she would have said no, but she had seen Sofia give gifts worth almost a million to Veronica and Elizabeth. Because of this, she couldn’t just say no.“How long will it take for you to send the money back?” Rebecca asked.“In a day or two,” Sofia said. “Once the issue with the bank is solved, I’ll send you the money.”“Okay then.” Rebecca then transferred a million dollars to the account number sent by Sofia.After receiving the money, Sofia was laughing very much. She just finished voting right now, and her parents were in the car.“Great. All that’s left is that new house owned by Elizabeth Sterling,” Victoria Myers sa

Jim brought a plate full of appetizers that had meat balls of chicken, fish, prawns, and lamb.The light color of the meat suggested that no food colors were added, other than the spices. And the meat wasn’t roasted so that its juices would remain inside.“Thanks,” Rebecca told Jim as she wasn’t expecting him to bring starters first.Jim smiled at her but then glanced at Benjamin once. “What can I bring for you?” he asked reluctantly.Benjamin just wanted JIm to leave them alone, but of course, he couldn’t say that out loud. “Can you bring me lion meat, or wolf meat?” he asked.“Uh, we don’t serve that kind of meat here,” Jim said. “Besides, it’s illegal to-”“I’m just joking, dude,” Benjamin said. “Just this glass of water is enough for me.”Jim then went into the kitchen even though he didn’t want to leave these two alone.Rebecca slightly pushed the plate toward Benjamin and said, “I don’t eat too much meat. A little bit is fine, but if I eat more, it makes me want to vomit.”“I kn
