Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 157
Rebecca was driving her Porsche, but her heart was elsewhere. Being slapped by her best friend, and for something she didn’t do… just thinking about it brought tears to her eyes like waves sweeping to the shore. Pain painted her face with ugliness like rain ruining a perfect sculpture.The car reached the villa and stopped at the entrance. She got out and took a look at the villa, where she thought she wouldn’t be staying anymore. She gave a once over at the garden; she would be missing the characteristic flutter of leaves in a breeze, the familiar smells, and the peace walking on the grass would bring upon her soul. She would be missing all these simple but soothing things.Just then, George hurried over to her and told her the good news.She thought he was just cooking up some bullshit story just to mess with her, but then Lisa came over and said the same thing.“The new owner allowed us to stay here? As long as we want?” she still found it hard to believe. Who would be so big-heart
Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 158
It had been a while since Jacob stayed in the villa from morning to afternoon. Everyone else had already finished eating, but he didn’t.Usually, Kathy would have given him bed coffee every morning, but today, she didn’t. Not just that, but no maid came to clean his room, either.Though Selena and the rest had eaten breakfast, he just couldn’t because Ryan was also there. It just felt too awkward for him to be eating with his family when Ryan was around, as Jacob was used to being the leader of the family. Now, there was Ryan on one side and Selena on the other side. Both of them looked superior, and he was finding it hard to digest.There was no food or even drinking water in his room; the refrigerator was empty. So he was quite hungry. He waited until lunch, hoping Ryan wouldn’t come downstairs and eat with the rest, but he did. Again, Jacob couldn’t come out of his room. He hoped at least Kathy or Amber would bring him food, but they didn’t even cast a glance toward his room. How q
Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 159
Jacob might be old, but he was a tall and bulky man who could easily intimidate the common man with his appearance alone.Such a man now rushed at his son-in-law, with fury flashing in his eyes. “I will break your nose and teeth and get your signature and thumb print this time so you can never show your face to her ever again.”“You sound like a caring father,” Benjamin said, still sitting in the chair.“That's’ because I AM,” Jacob threw a swift punch, as fast as his old bones and muscles allowed him. Benjamin intentionally turned his head so Jacob’s fist connected his jaw. BAM! A loud noise erupted. “This is the least I can do for my daughter.” He went for an upper cut this time. He connected again.Benjamin’s whole body lifted and flipped in the air, shocking even Jacob because he didn’t think he was that strong. However, the next second, Benjamin landed on his feet, looking completely fine. That was when he realized that it wasn’t his punch that did the flipping job. And he didn’t
Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 160
In that fraction of a second when Nolan fell from the second-floor’s balcony, his whole life didn’t play in his mind, but what played was the thought that his own flesh and blood, his own son, would try to kill him. He never even imagined that in his wildest dreams.His body crashed on the ground in a big thud, startling the dogs that were in the cages meters away from where he fell. The dogs barked, but he wasn’t moving anymore.George was still watching from the balcony with a sad expression. “Sorry, dad, but I still have half a life ahead of me. I will put the money to a better use, so… rest in peace.” He turned and walked back into the living room.He noticed that Vlad and Mercie were busy with the playstation on the first floor. Lisa and Mercie, on the other hand, were reading books as ordered by Selena who had told them they needed to finish reading at least 12 books in one week if they wished to buy mobiles.“Mother-in-law surely knows how to manipulate kids,” George thought. “

“Why don’t you come with me?”It felt like a line from one of the romantic books she read. She wasn’t in a good mood for many reasons, but his loving stare stirred the passion hiding deep in her heart. She didn’t know what it was, but something felt different whenever he was around her.Would this feeling stay forever even when she would grow old, weak, and unattractive? Would he still make her feel special after forty years down the line?She didn’t believe in love at first sight. To her, love was a beautiful feeling cultivated between two people and would grow over time. From tickling and teasing one another to wiping each other’s tears and forgiving and forgetting each other’s mistakes, love was a romance without an end.Benjamin’s love surely grew on her, much more so than she ever thought it would. But what if he would also one day break her heart like everyone else did? Would she be able to bear it?All these crazy thoughts didn’t make it any easier to answer his simple, straigh

The horrific accident near the main gate of the Sterling villa resulted in the driver’s death and left the others injured.The injured were currently undergoing treatment in the Sterling villa itself, cared for by a section of the nursing staff that had come to take care of Nolan.Dorothy asked Jacob to pay off the families of the dead and the injured, but Jacob refused, and so George had to run away, even though he claimed that it was the ambulance driver who came speeding.As the doctor was leaving after treating Nolan, Dorothy asked, “Is he going to be fine? When will he wake up?”“He will wake up soon, but his bones are broken. Considering his age, he will have a hard time to fully recover. Still, we’ll recommend a diet plan. Just stick to it.” The doctor spat some words like it was the formal thing to do. Dorothy didn’t like him at all as she didn’t see any concern in his eyes or voice.Not just the doctor but no one else in the villa showed real concern in her eyes, except her d

“Jane, is it really you?” Steve couldn’t believe what he was hearing through the phone. She just called the police station to talk to him, after all. “Yeah. Can’t you recognize my voice?” “I-I’ve never heard your voice over the phone, so it’s hard to believe that it’s you.” “You have five freaking moles on your left ass cheek. Is that enough? Or should I give you more details?” “ENOUGH! That’s plenty enough!” Steve coughed on purpose because he was in the police station. “I’m coming right away.” “Good. I’ll be waiting.” Jane hung up. Steve put his hat on. “Are you going somewhere?” his partner asked him. “Yeah. A lady is in danger,” Steve replied. “Let me also come along then,” his partner got up from his seat. “No. I’ll handle this alone,” Steve put him back on his seat and rushed out of the station, almost dancing like a little chick that just found its wings. He was so happy she remembered that he had moles on his ass, even though they only had sex for one night. Steve dr

Christopher was howling at Benjamin. “One second you call me and say you’re coming, and then you show up hours later and say sorry. What do I look like, huh? Just because the chairman is favoring you and Damian after ‘that’ incident, you and Damian think you can come and go whenever you want?”“So Damian didn’t come to work today?” asked Benjamin while preparing a special pizza.“Nope. Sasha also didn’t. Why do they have to take leave days after their grandmother’s death? It makes no freaking sense.”“Cut them some slack, Mr. Manager.” Benjamin quickly finished decorating the pizza and pushed the plate toward Christopher.“Y-You made it for me?” Christopher was surprised for a second, but then quickly grabbed the plate and walked away. “Don’t think this will make me overlook your recent lack of attendance. You should work tonight and cover those lost hours, so prepare yourself.”“Sure, boss.” Benjamin was about to put the worker’s sim into his mobile, but then his phone rang. It was a

Some days later.Sofia Myers ordered pizza from an apartment she had recently bought.And to her surprise, it was Benjamin who delivered it.“It’s you?” Sofia remembered him. “Aren’t you Rebecca’s husband? You both are having an official wedding soon, right? Why are you still working as a pizza-delivery guy?”“I have my reasons,” Benjamin replied. “And it’s more of a part-time job now.”“Okay, come on in,” Sofia told him.When he entered the apartment, there were over a dozen females there, smoking and drinking.“This guy is Benjamin, a mighty pizza-delivery guy who married a bald woman,” Sofia started making fun of him to make her friends laugh.Benjamin quickly countered her, saying, “It seems your husband has left you to your pleasures. I’m not surprised, though I might not have done the same thing.”Sofia gritted her teeth and threw her mobile at him.Benjamin caught it with ease. “A woman who easily gets angry will have a hard time obtaining a place in any man’s heart.”“Get the

“Why can’t I meet him once?” Lisa yelled at her mom. “If you’re not going to let him see me, then I’ll leave this house!”“You think I’ll come running after you?” Elizabeth yelled back. “Leave the house if you want! No one is stopping you!”Lisa then angrily left the house and walked away on her bare feet, crying and shedding tears.It had been weeks since she had seen her dad, and she just wanted to talk to him once more and know how he was doing, but her mother was not even letting her contact her dad.Lisa didn’t know for how long she walked, but her stomach started growling.It was twelve in the afternoon, and she hadn’t eaten anything.

In Sciocidad also known as the Sky City.“So she asked for more time…” Ryan sighed.He became the temporary ruler of the Wolfe clan.“Both Benjamin and Rye have left this seat, which is something that never happened before,” Ryan’s voice was gritty yet sad. “This doesn’t set a good example for the coming generations, especially given that we’re living in the end times.”“Don’t tell me, you’re planning on making someone else the sovereign?” Uzza quickly asked.“No, not yet,” Ryan replied. “We’ve lost a lot already. 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

She slowly turned me around.Our eyes locked each other.
EPILOGUE
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

The moment blood gushed out of Rebecca’s neck, while her eyes were staring at him, Benjamin immediately snapped.“BENYAMIN~~!!”His roar reverberated through the hearts of all the people there, shaking their very souls.Benjamin’s suit was ripped to pieces as he grew into a mighty silver werewolf and leaped forth.In a flash, Benjamin’s claws cut through Benyamin’s shoulder and snatched Rebecca.Benjamin vanished from people’s sight and landed on the rooftop.Dahlia and Uzza took Benyamin and also vanished from there.Rye stood frozen, and so did Selena and everyone from the Sterling family.

The wedding night has arrived on time just like the full moon in all of its splendor.Rebecca did not look happy because Selena did not send invitations to most of the people she should have.Selena didn’t want this wedding news to be spread around the world, either, so she tried her best to suppress it from behind the scenes.Jacob also played his part in doing what his wife wanted him to.Shawn entered the villa, wearing a disguise, as he wanted to see his sister’s marriage and also see his wife and kids once.The wedding was taking place in the front yard.Benjamin was standing in the distance, far from the crowd.Jane and Veronica brought Rye out of the villa.
