Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 194
“Rebecca’s beauty puts the word beauty to shame, but your beauty, I’m afraid, doesn’t even come close to the worth of the shit stuck to her sandals.”Jacob’s face turned ashen as ever upon hearing those words from Benjamin’s mouth. He never expected Benjamin to be so bold. If it was Jacob of the past, he would have grabbed Benjamin’s face, dragged him across the floor, and beat the living crap out of him, but now, he was still sitting next to this youngster and was grinding his teeth as his eyes reddened with every passing second.“If that is your final stance, then this is my final stance,” Jacob stood. “I like pushing myself as far as I can go. You will see how it feels to lose it all soon. I will not give you a single dollar, but I will make sure you’ll leave this villa and also my daughter’s life. You will lose your job and everything else you have going good in your life.”“I wish I could wish you some luck,” Benjamin responded, “but wishing would be useless in this case because

Even in defeat, Akash still spoke the truth, “I don’t owe shit to your daughter.”“I don’t trust your words,” Jacob coldly replied. “If my daughter says you owe her, you owe her. If she says you don’t owe her, you don’t owe her.” He looked up at Veronica who was coming down the stairs with a little bit of guilt in her face. “Does he owe you anything, Veronica?”She initially shook her head a little but then nodded big-time.“There you go. You owe her,” Jacob told Akash. “If you leave without paying her debt off, I’ll hunt you to the ends of the earth.” He then patted his daughter with pride. “This is smart of you, Veronica. You always have to keep your borrowers closer than your enemies. That is how you get connections and build a solid platform in the social circle.”“Yes, dad,” she nodded shamelessly, and Akash looked at them both like she was looking at two big piles of shit. He never hated someone so much before.After her father left, Veronica lowered her voice and said, “I did y

Rebecca pulled the ring out and tossed it aside. Benjamin’s eyes were clouded with tears. His heart trembled. A tormenting sadness skewered his gut.Was this how all his struggle was going to end? In utter failure?He forthwith felt empty, desolate, and abandoned. Darkness covered his eyes and dragged him into an unknown, cold abyss, his mind hurling along in a spiral. His consciousness kept sinking deeper and deeper without an end in sight. Suddenly, a scalding tide washed through him and transported him out of the blackness and into light, liberating all his worries along with that, for Benjamin could now feel the warmth of what held his hand.Benjamin’s eyes flew open and glanced down. It was Rebecca who held his hand, and she began to pull him along.For a second, his heart skipped when he thought she might personally be sending him out of the house, but then she wrapped her arm around his arm just as they reached the stairs.Without even trying, they climbed down the stairs in an

The Harley Davidson dashed through the streets, clearly going way past the speed limit. The two police officers that noticed the bike began chasing it. However, to their eye-popping shock, a Benz gained in on them and overtook them.“Do we look like a joke?” one of the officers howled as his inflated ego wasn’t poked like this before.The other officer, Steve, however, recognized the number plate of the car and was shocked for a different reason. “Hey, there isn’t much air in your back tire!” he shouted at his partner, forcing him to stop. “Don’t worry. I’ll take care of them!”“Make sure to write them 1000 dollar tickets!” his partner yelled.In response, Steve pointed his thumb heavenward. As he followed the black Benz, his heart wasn’t in his control. “What’s so important that you’re going at such a high speed, Jane?” His unbidden thoughts searched for clues, but he found nothing. A sense of disappointment assailed him.Why the heck was he following her when he had no intention of

The worker opened the door and entered, hoping nothing went wrong. And nothing did.The two customers were standing there, hugging each other, with tears in their eyes, smiles stretching their lips, and their faces also slightly flushed.The worker cleared his throat. “Sorry to disturb your moment, but it seems you’ve decided on the rings.”“We did.” Rebecca then paid through a check.“I wish you two a wonderful journey ahead,” the worker added while bowing his head politely as he escorted them out.As they walked out, she pulled his beard. “You’re getting rid of this today,” she ordered.“Why? Aren’t you fascinated by my beard?”“Huh, you look good in a stubble, but not in this jungle.”“Haha. Fine.” He loved her face contorted a little every time she talked about his beard. “But how about you personally give me a shave?”“I’ve never done it, so maybe some other time?”“You’ve never done it?” Benjamin blinked twice. “Then how do you keep your private parts clean?”“I trim it, of cour

Terry didn’t expect Jacob would answer, but after about fifteen seconds of ringing, Jacob answered.Long silence followed as none spoke immediately.“Hello, my friend,” Terry started the conversation, sounding tentative. “How are you doing?”“What can a poor man do in the middle of the day?” Jacob sarcastically replied. “Work his ass off so he wouldn’t go to sleep on a hungry stomach.”“I… feel for you.”“Do you?” Jacob harrumphed. “Really?”“Yeah,” Terry’s tone grew some base. “I never had any issues with you, only with your son-in-law.”Jacob’s expression briefly froze. As Terry kept on speaking about what had happened with his daughter by adding many more things than what had actually happened, Jacob was left speechless.“That’s why I couldn’t help you when you came to me last time,” Terry stated in a pitiful tone. “I should have told this to you sooner, but I didn’t know that your son-in-law was our common enemy. Only recently I came to know that you are not on good terms with him
Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 200
In the evening.Benjamin and Rebecca returned to the villa. Elizabeth and Dorothy were savoring mutton soup on the balcony, but the soup dropped from their mouths when their eyes fell upon fully-shaved Benjamin.Kathy was standing next to them, and she felt her soul burning with passion. He looked so much more handsome now, making her wonder if this was the same guy who once licked the cake off her fingers. She felt like she would do anything to experience it once again.“Is it just my imagination, or does he look taller?” Dorothy murmured.“Was he this good-looking when we first saw him?” Elizabeth pondered. “He looks lot younger.”“He looks so cute I want to eat his cheeks,” Kathy spoke her thoughts aloud, making Elizabeth and Dorothy turn their heads. “I-I was obviously joking. I’m not a cannibal.”Meanwhile, the couple entered the villa. Jacob, who was sitting on the couch and reading a magazine, briefly noticed his daughter and son-in-law.“Butler,” he spoke without even looking

At 4 A.M.Jacob was in a theater, with people watching the El Man movie, but he was standing and watching their expressions. And their faces turned from positive to negative steadily until they got out of their seats and began throwing things at the screen. And then they directed their rage toward Jacob and made him run out of the theater, run for his life, even.Suddenly, Jacob woke up in his bed, only to find out it was another bad dream. He had been having trouble sleeping these days.He then watched some of the clips of his old movies where people stood up at the end and clapped in joy and appreciation. He had wanted the same to happen for El Man, his biggest project, but that didn’t happen.Breathing at the moment felt too hard.He just couldn’t sit on the bed and do nothing. He got out of his room and went to Veronica’s room to talk about planning the party, as he had nothing else to do.However, when he went to her room, the door was already open, and Akash was hitting Veronica

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

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 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.
