The cops received an anonymous call and arrived at the underground tunnel as fast as they could, but what awaited them was beyond what they had expected or imagined.“You’ve gotta be kidding me,” they couldn’t believe what they were seeing. The whole underground tunnel had collapsed. “What in the world happened here?” Now, they had no idea if anyone was even trapped inside or not.Later that night.A clean red Porsche arrived at the Sterling villa. After seeing Benjamin, the guard said, “Did you get the Porsche serviced? It looks fresh.”Benjamin gave a thumbs-up before driving through the gate. After he parked the car, he was walking into the villa, but his ears caught the distant noise of the birds in distress. What bothered him was that the noises didn’t come from the trees but from the dorms. He had a bad feeling about it. He rushed straight to the dorms and kicked the door open, waking up the butlers and cleaners.He went to the storage room, and it was locked. He looked at the b

The parrots did show some interest in the parfait, but in the end, they didn’t eat anything. The veterinarian had to come and check up on the birds again.Selena now knew what exactly had happened the previous night, and she then understood the reason why the muffins were so horrible, the worst she had ever eaten. She had to make Johnny personally go and buy the best muffins in the city and then eat them to feel a little better.The word already reached Rebecca through Veronica, but she couldn’t question Benjamin because she was smart enough to realize that Selena probably had something to do with the birds. Moreover, there wasn’t much one could do if family members kept fighting against each other. Whom should she support? She had been seeing this since childhood, so she was thinking of telling Benjamin to control himself until she bought a new house where they could freely live together.While Rebecca was planning a design for her and her husband to wear during the reception, Benjam

Anous returned to his job. He took the kids to school and then dropped Benjamin, Rebecca, and Veronica at the Powell’s gym.Jane and Donovan were already waiting there.Donovan didn’t look ashamed of what had happened at the birthday party, as he seemed to already put that behind him.“Why do we only get 1 hour?” Jane complained before even entering the gym. “Donovan says we need at least two to three hours to properly train our body under supervision.”“This is like rehabilitating, you know,” replied Rebecca. “Some training without therapy.”After they entered, a tall and handsome black man came to greet them. Both Rebecca and Jane went speechless for a second.“P-Powell?” Jane was shocked. “It’s you?”“Haha,” Powell laughed, putting his hands on his waist. “It’s great to meet friends from college, especially you, Jane.” He offered his hand for a handshake, but she didn’t go with the flow.Jane grabbed Donovan’s arm and said, “This is Donovan, my boyfriend.”“Oh…” Powell’s gaze chang

Selena fired all the male butlers and cleaners after giving them the next three months salary, so they didn’t complain and also leaked what happened inside the villa, and she didn’t lose any face, either. Both parties knew that this was done to make Rebecca feel comfortable.While Benjamin had taken Johnny’s body in a car and went out into the city, Selena had removed Benjamin’s bed and all his belongings from Rebecca’s room.When Rebecca told her this wasn’t necessary, she was told to shut-up.“I know you better than you know yourself,” Selena told her. “Right now, it’s not good for a male to be living in your room, even if it’s your husband.”“But… shouldn’t we at least discuss this with him first?” asked Rebecca. “What will he think when he comes back and sees all his stuff moved to another room?”“Let him think whatever he wants,” Selena snorted. Her stomach rumbled again. “Ah, for fuck sake!” she raised her hands and screamed before rushing to the washroom in Rebecca’s room itsel

Rebecca asked Selena about the parrots in the middle of the night, but she said she had no idea about the parrots and told her to ask the maids who also said they didn’t see the parrots.Rebecca knew they were lying, but there was nothing she could do now. Limping around the villa, she looked for the birds herself.However, Benjamin was the one who first found them. They were lying lifeless in the garden, with dog bites on their bodies, on both of them.When Rebecca saw the dead birds, her gut twisted. He silently buried them under the guava tree where the couple mostly played together. She shed tears, but he didn’t. He wanted to break the bones of the dogs, but he felt like he should punish others first if he were to punish the dogs for acting on their instincts.As he was walking away, Rebecca didn’t know what to even say to him. Because of her negligence, the parrots died. She felt sad and helpless. She might be earning millions, but could she bring the birds back to life so she co
