The income tax officers stayed in the villa all night, with three witnesses from the neighborhood. One of them was Mina disguised as a resident.

Jacob didn’t even come home. The only mobile he could reach was Rebecca, so he kept calling her and asked for progress. He told her the spots where he kept some illegal documents. She couldn’t cover him for him, so she gave her mobile to Shawn, and he took care of whatever Jacob told him.

Selena, on the other hand, kept asking the officers why their family was being suddenly targeted with no prior notice or anything. Even though they didn’t reply at first, she didn’t stop asking. At some point the Chief Commissioner grew tired and told her he received orders from the higher ups to do a raid and he had to do it even though there were no records of the Sterling family evading taxes.

The officers found some illegal investments of Shawn in real estate, and some unexplained cash credits in Elizabeth’s accounts. To make things worse, Dorothy also h

    Rebecca came home after meeting with Sheila the lawyer. Veronica was taking the children to the movie, so she thought of Benjamin for a second. She wanted to watch with him, but she wasn’t in the mood right now.“I wonder what he’s doing. Should I call and tell him to go and watch the movie alone?” she pondered.In Elizabeth’s room, Shawn slapped his wife repeatedly even after she began crying. “70 freaking million! You think money is water? Who told you to buy a house and a private jet?”“I-I… I’m sorry,” she apologized in a crying tone. “I won’t buy anything without asking you again.” Her whole face turned red.Seeing her like that, Shawn gritted his teeth. “Come here.”She was shaking as he hesitantly approached him, thinking he was going to hit her again. However, he hugged her tightly and kissed her on the head.“Don’t make me hit you again,” Shawn’s eyes slightly teared up, though no tears leaked out from the corners of his eyes. “I’m afraid we’ll have to sell all those things y

    “Get your hands off me!” Rebecca pushed Donovan away, which didn’t surprise him.“I think I’ve seen enough,” Catherine glared at Rebecca. “Don’t ever show your face around here again.” She shut the door in Rebecca’s face.“Wait!” Rebecca shouted. “You’ve misunderstood me, Aunt Catherine.” She knocked on the door five times, but there was no response.Donovan again put his hand on her shoulder. She turned to slap him, but he caught her hand.“Let go of me,” she yanked her hand, but his grip was so hard she couldn’t free herself.“I’m not possessive like your husband,” Donovan grinned, “but I’m sure I can definitely please you better than he ever can.”She went for a slap with the other hand. Again, he caught her and amusedly smiled. He was taller and stronger, but that didn’t intimidate her. However, what bothered her was that there were people watching, and they made no attempt to intervene.“I’m the kind of guy who doesn't take shit,” Donovan’s voice grew rough and sharp like a cutti

    While the advertisements played on the screen, Rebecca noticed that Benjamin was looking at her instead of looking at the screen.She acted like she didn’t notice it, but then a minute passed, and he was still at it. She couldn’t act anymore. Turning her head, she looked at him. “Is something wrong?”Benjamin lifted his hand and gently stroked her cheek with his tentative fingertip.Her eyes closed, and she could feel his touch all the more. It felt like he was probing for something. As his finger moved along her jaw, her lips pursed. When the fingertip reached the chin, her lips and chin together trembled.He curled his finger in.She slowly opened her eyes, looking flushed and slightly happy. Her expression made her look even more beautiful. Would there be a more perfect time to kiss? He felt really tempted to kiss her. Rebecca was also licking her lips, trying to cope with the situation.Alfred got out of his seat and walked away. (Dammit. I really wanted to watch the movie. I gues

    Rebecca tried calling her dad, but his number was busy all the time. She apologized to Benjamin and walked out of the theater. He said he would accompany her, but she said it was her family issue, so he couldn’t tag along with her.If only her family also trusted him like she did, how wonderful his married life would have been?Meanwhile, seeing the audience leave the theater, ranting about how crappy the production values were, Mina laughed like a hyena on drugs.“I’m glad I didn’t watch it,” she boasted.“Shouldn’t you be thanking me?” Shadow asked. “If not for me, you would have suffered like the audience.”“Hmph! Don’t try your luck with me, boy,” Mina glared at him before leaving, as she had to follow Rebecca.Shadow went over to Benjamin and sat on his bike. “Is the movie really that bad, my lord?”“It was really engaging for the first fifteen minutes, but then…” Benjamin shook his head. “The quality turned horrible. I think someone who’s envious of Jacob did this.”“Maybe it’s

Some had their limbs severed. This was without a doubt the most gruesome scene he had ever seen.He bent down and observed one of the dead men, lying on the grass, shocked and his eyes wide open and full of horror. “The fear in those eyes… He must have seen others die around him. He must be utterly stunned to the point his eyes stayed open even after death.” Steve began sweating without realizing.Some other police recognized a few of those men. “These guys are street thugs from all around the city. Most of them have multiple murder and rape charges against them.”Steve’s brows knitted together. “Why were such bastards roaming freely

    After the most horrible day of his life, Jacob didn’t sleep for long and woke up early the next day. He had always been a fighter, and he didn’t let the El Man disaster defeat him. His family expressed their sympathies, which was the only positive thing that had happened in the past twenty four hours.He began working hard to make things right, but the main actress of the El Man movie came forward and publicly stated that Jacob harassed him both mentally and physically. This led to a chain of confessions from other female actresses from Jacob’s previous films.This whole issue not only made Jacob’s life difficult, it made Selena’s life difficult to the point she couldn’t even attend her shoots. There were some audio leaks of Jacob flirting with the actresses, so whether he actually slept with them or not, Selena didn’t even want to talk about it with him.After that, nobody in the Sterling villa was talking with Jacob. Selena didn’t even let Kathy go near Jacob anymore. However, what

    There was a wine glass in one bottle and a wine bottle in the other hand. There was no time for Benjamin to react the moment Jane grabbed his face out of nowhere. Moreover, before he could even comprehend why she suddenly lay hands on his face, she was upon him like a wind washing all over him.Her lips firmly pressed into his lips as she used all the momentum she could muster. Her eyes were closed, but his eyes weren’t. His eyes were far from closing. His heart jumped into his throat as shock shook his soul.Shadow who had been sitting on the edge of the couch watched with his mouth wide-open and all the half-chewed nuts up for view.Unlike Rebecca who never kissed anyone before on the lips, Jane was a supreme expert as far as kissing was considered. Benjamin’s spine bent backward in response, but she kept pressing forward, sucking his lips into her mouth so she could then force her tongue into his mouth.Benjamin’s hands dropped the bottle and the glass before pushing her away so ha

    The next morning. Jane woke up in a good mood almost like a dog with two tails. “I had all these sweet dreams of being with Benjamin. Too bad I didn’t get to kiss him well because of his mustache. If I get another opportunity again, I won’t miss it. I will make sure he will fall for me, hehe.” She prepared coffee and walked out of her room, whistling to herself, only to see Donovan and Jasmine kissing by the stairs. She was stunned for a second, but then her eyes gained blood pretty fast. “What the hell are you doing in a public place?” she howled and splashed the hot coffee in their faces. “Kya!” Jasmine screamed in pain, but Donovan bore it. “This is my apartment, so if I see this again, I’ll kick you out,” she warned Jasmine. Both Jasmine and Donovan went into their room. “Why didn’t you beat her?” Jasmine yelled at him. “Just one slap would have been enough for that bitch.” “This is her apartment, so let’s not unnecessarily complicate things.” “Unnecessarily?

We can’t be wasting our people’s time or give them false hope. It is better to pick a new ruler, but I will wait a little longer.”Even though Ryan didn’t say it, Uzza felt that the time limit would probably be six months.“Come back soon, Rye,” Uzza wished in her heart.Elsewhere in the same city, in a dark dungeon.“With a friend like you around, what’s the need for enemies?” Benyamin was hissing at Dahlia as she poured her spiritual energy into Benyamin’s spine relentles

    A few days later.At six in the morning.Rebecca woke up and found Benjamin resting with his head at her legs. “Benjamin, why are you sleeping the other way? You’re not a cat. Sleep next to me!”Benjamin rolled over to her side and lay next to her, sharing the same pillow. “Last night, I woke up for water, and then I saw the mole on your thigh, and I wanted to sleep next to it.”Rebecca’s face flushed very much. “Stop it, you are talking like a child!”“Aren’t we both still children in our relationship?” Benjamin gently touched her chin and planted a kiss on her cheek.Rebecca’s face gained some more blood. The same could be said for Benjamin. Both of them were fair and were in the prime of their age, so they appeared a thousand times more attractive when blood rushed to their faces.After Benjamin kissed her, Rebecca felt her emotions stirring up again. She pulled the blanket up and covered both of them and hugged him tightly and showered kisses on him.“I think it’s time for breakfa
