VKBoyI would like to thank Moroke Andrew Ramasehla for his smashing gem-contribution. You've crossed 50 gems, Brother. You're the strong and manly yet lighthearted man who makes rain and leads a chivalrous and virtuous life. Well, that's what your name implies. If I'm wrong, then blame Google, lol. And once again, thank you Andrew. Benjamin wants me to also thank Dewaarta, Athymcp@comcast, Lwihundebe Emmanuel, Vnd Vapu, Michael, Anne Exconde, Mohammed Musthafa, and Dasiy Baxter for their precious contribution to this novel's growth. And yes, I couldn't agree more with Benjamin. Thank you all. Wait, Benjamin, can't you deliver pizzas to their doorsteps, I ask. He smiles. I smile back. I want you to do it, he says. But you're the one with the platinum card, I respond. And you should really use it, I add. Benjamin takes out the platinum card and asks me for addresses. I start sweating... Nevermind.

“He went out on a delivery?” Rebecca pursed her lips as she talked with Sasha. “Was there a woman with her? Medium long hair, a little shorter than me, and has green eyes.”“Yes. A woman with similar features was talking with Benjamin,” Sasha replied fast. “She left after Benjamin left. Isn’t she his wife?”“NO!” Rebecca quickly denied. “I’m his wife. Tell him I came here when he returns.” Rebecca’s heartbeat picked its pace. “Hmph!” She then walked out of the hut in a hurry like a tense little rabbit.She could just wait until Benjamin returned and then tail him to see what he was doing during the day, but she didn’t want to do that. She wanted to believe in him, but at the same time, life didn’t feel so bewildering in a long while.She never thought she would have to compete with Jane over the rights for her own husband. This wasn’t something any parents could teach to a child. She had to fight this on her own, or she might lose her husband.She felt greatly discouraged.“I’ve alway

Benjamin called for an ambulance, and then Jacob was admitted to a hospital. It was only a mild sunstroke, so Benjamin didn’t find the need to accompany his father-in-law to the hospital, but he made sure to send a message to his wife.He delivered pizzas until evening and also noticed that the Wraith had been following him since morning.“She hasn't even stepped out of the car since morning, and she’s managed to somehow keep up with my speed for the most part. Is this what determination can do? Gotta admit she’s scary in a way,” Benjamin thought as he finished his work and sat upon his own Harley Davidson. “I want to teach her a lesson, but I would like it more if it’s Rebecca who does it. At any rate, it’s time to lose this stalker.”Benjamin drove fast and entered many alleys and left Jane clueless.She smashed her hand on the steering wheel and hurt herself. “Ouch. Dammit. He knows I’ve been tailing him, but he doesn’t even come to talk to me once. I was thinking of pulling him in

Many real estate tycoons were all talking about one name the past few days.“Who the heck is this Ryan? Where did he even come from?”“What’s his background? How can he buy so many properties in such a short time?”“Is the mafia behind him?”“Is it a politician? Or a rich businessman maybe?”“Whether it is the governor, or someone else… Someone must be backing him. Otherwise, how can a single man manage to buy an entire street? No one in this city owns an entire street.”“This isn’t just a matter of pride anymore. We must bring this man down.”Be it millionaires, or multi-millionaires, they were all thinking along the same lines. They wanted Ryan gone out of the city or from the surface of the earth if possible.This issue reached all the way to Terry Praise. He was also thinking of buying a building near the Sterling villa so he could closely observe the struggles of the Sterlings and thoroughly enjoy watching them suffer as he pushed them deeper and deeper into poverty.“Ryan… Ryan

“B-Benjamin?” Rebecca’s eyes enlarged. She looked at her father once before hurting over to her husband. “Why are you here?” she lowered her voice. “You know my dad isn’t in good condition. What if he gets angry and acts up now?” she looked back to see what kind of expression Jacob was making, but her father was already standing right behind her. “Dad! When did you get here?”Jacob looked straight into Benjamin’s eyes. “Were you the one who admitted me into the hospital?”“I’m sure it was an ambulance,” replied Benjamin, not breaking eye-contact.Jacob paused for a second. “If it was you, then don’t expect a thank you because you already owe us a lot.”Benjamin didn’t say anything. Rebecca didn’t like what her father was saying, but she didn’t want to argue with him right now.“Keep your discussion short,” Jacob said and went to the main gate and stood there.“So?” Rebecca hurriedly asked.Benjamin tapped his finger on his lips.Rebecca’s eyes drew in more light. “Are you kidding me?”

As Benjamin slowly stepped forward, Ryan stood up and turned to face him. Both looked at each other and kept looking at each other as their eyes reflected the love for one another ever so quietly.Benjamin lowered his head and bent his knee.Rebecca was visibly surprised. She wasn’t expecting Benjamin to be this overly polite. (This guy… he really wants this job!) On one hand, she loved how he was desperately trying to be close to her, but on the other hand, she was afraid of her family hurting him.“You can stand,” Ryan sent a mental message.Benjamin stood straight and loosely put his hands behind his back. “I’ve read your advertisement and came for the butler job.”“What job experience do you have?” Ryan asked in a somewhat serious tone.“I worked as a pizza delivery guy,” Benjamin stated confidently. “I can drive fast and well.”“So you have no experience working as a butler?”Benjamin hesitantly shook his head. He didn’t want to reveal the fact that he had worked like a slave in

Hearing Ryan’s words, Benjamin’s hand stopped in the middle of chopping.“What’s with the pause?” Ryan’s brows lifted together. “If you can’t even control one small family, you are not worthy of leading our clan, except perhaps in your dreams. But I was told you loved your wife even when she hated you, so this little task of winning over a family shouldn’t be too hard. If you succeed in this small trial, I will happily leave the clan to you and go for one last world trip, knowing the clan is in good hands. What do you say? Can’t you love these words that are coming out of my mouth right now?”Benjamin’s blood was boiling, but he was controlling himself. He redirected his anger to cutting the things before him.Ryan just found it amusing, but he didn’t provoke Benjamin anymore.Rebecca entered the kitchen and was slack-jawed by seeing how fast Benjamin was chopping the onions and ginger. “Wow, slow down. You want to cut your fingers, or what?” she came up to him and said, “Want me to g

Selena had been fully focused on reading a romance novel for four hours. Even though Delle had told her Jacob returned from the hospital, she didn’t get up. Now that she had finished the book, she threw it out the window and yelled in frustration. “Fuck off, Author! How could you spoil the ending like that? How can you break the lovebirds apart?”Delle wasn’t surprised because she had seen this type of behavior before. Selena liked happy endings, so she got furious when a book ended on a sad note with no real foreshadowing.Naturally, Selena’s mood grew worse, and she didn’t even bath. She came downstairs and sat at the dining table and tapped the plates with the knife and the fork. “Why isn’t anything arranged yet? Where’s the food, Kathy? Are you fucking sleeping or what?”“Kathy is busy, trying to catch the chicken, mom,” Rebecca came out of the kitchen, with freshly cooked rabbit roast on the platter.“R-Rebecca!” Selena was just plain shocked for a good five seconds, especially a

Rebecca’s words struck harder than bullets. Selena fainted and fell from her chair. Before her head hit the floor, Ryan caught her.A few splashes of water woke Selena up, and she was still sitting in the same chair. The difference, however, was that she could see Ryan eating what looked like rabbit meat, which was supposed to be lying on the floor. She was shocked. She looked at her daughter, and she seemed just as shocked. How could someone eat what fell on the floor? This was hard to digest for both the women of the Sterling family. As if that wasn’t enough, Ryan was making noises while sucking the nutrients from the bones, and then he crunched on the bones like a barbarian. The mother and daughter couldn’t maintain straight faces.They had already shared the table with him a few times, but he didn’t make these cheap sounds in the past.“Mhmm, it’s a roast, yet the meat isn’t hard,” Ryan seemed somewhat satisfied as he glanced at Benjamin. “I’m sure you didn’t have the time to mari

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

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

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.
