As Rebecca put the milk pot on the stove, Benjamin sneaked upon her and curled his arms around her delicate waist very delicately.Just as she sensed the presence of two arms wrapping around her, she was about to react, but after seeing the parrot ring on one of the hands, her body relaxed automatically.However, he didn’t hug her. His two hands gently slid on her abdomen and reached her waist and began to massage masterfully using all the fingers. Rebecca’s back slowly straightened. She was quite tired from work, but in a matter of seconds, Benjamin’s fingers rejuvenated her and stirred up fire in her belly. His fingers firmly pressed on her back from bottom to the top, and her eyes closed in response. Her soul was sucked into submission. She got lost in the soothing sense his massage had brought upon her.The milk boiled and spilled over, whereas Rebecca’s chest also tightened and seemingly grew in size in the last minute or so. Her heart flip-flopped in her chest.Benjamin’s hands
“Where’s my coffee?” Benyamin entered the kitchen, forcing Rebecca to break out of the hug, causing Benjamin to put on a suffocated look.“The milk spilled over,” Rebecca explained. “Just wait a couple more minutes. I’ll heat it again.”As she changed the pots and boiled fresh, raw milk again, Benjamin was icily gazing at Shadow who couldn’t look back at Benjamin in the eye.(You want coffee, huh.) Benjamin sent a mental message to Shadow. (Fine. I’ll make you drink 1000 cups of coffee tonight. Nah, 1000 is too little. How about 10,000?)Shadow swallowed his breath and ended up speaking his thoughts out loud. “NO!”“Mm?” Rebecca looked at Benyamin, and he began to walk out of the kitchen in a hurry.“Mr. Benyamin!” Rebecca called out for him. “I’m almost done.”“I don’t want coffee anymore,” Benyamin replied without even looking back.After Benyamin was no longer within earshot, Rebecca frowned. “What’s up with his attitude?”“He’s the son of a big billionaire,” Benjamin casually said
It was dinner time.Another opportunity for Benjamin to show his cooking skills to his dad and at the same time make items that his wife would love to eat.Even though he was still mad at her for not kissing him when he asked her to, he still cooked dishes specifically for her.On the other hand, Kathy and Amber were cooking for Benyamin. They seemed hellbent on impressing him, and Benjamin could guess their reasons. What surprised him, however, was that even Delle was making a dessert.As a result, the kitchen was quite busy in the evening.The women kept talking to each other all the while, but Benjamin didn’t speak a word with them, even though there were plenty of opportunities to do so. Moreover, the maids also completely ignored Benjamin.Their complete focus was now on pleasing Benyamin by showcasing how talented and hardworking they were.Even as they arranged the dishes on the dining table, they kept talking about Benyamin and how handsome he was. If only they could make him
In the middle of the night, Ryan and Benyamin were chilling on the second floor’s balcony, comfortably resting in inclined chairs. The moon and the stars provided a wonderful contrast against the sable sky. The cool breeze kept the mosquitoes away.“Great Master, do I really have to do this?” Shadow asked, his voice slightly heavy.“Do what?”“Come in between Lord Benjamin and his spouse. I feel terrible just thinking about it.”Ryan didn’t say anything.“Lord Benjamin left his throne to escape from a woman, and that was a cowardly thing to do,” Shadow opined, “but he’s now keeping himself away from the throne because he found a woman he loved and wants to be with her more so than sitting on the throne. I can’t find fault in this.”Ryan’s gaze turned colder than the moonlight. “Are you perhaps suggesting you’re watching the greatest love story of the century in action?”“T-That’s not what I meant,” Shadow’s arms felt goosebumps all over.“If his love for his wife is more than his love
“Hurry up!” Jacob hissed from outside, bringing Kathy out of her lustful thoughts.“Ahem,” she gestured to Jacob that she was going to take care of things. She then sat upon his abdomen and began tying his hands to the bed. “Forgive me for doing this, Unpaid Mad, or should I call you Paid Butler, now? Anyway, I think I’m doing you a favor if this move separates you from Madam Rebecca. You deserve a better family than the Sterlings in my opinion.”She ripped the shirt open at once, thinking it’d wake Benjamin up, but to her surprise, he was still snoring just as loudly.“What a deep sleeper,” she thought. “I’ve sometimes had the dream of doing it with a sleeping man, but this damned Jacob is watching, or I would have done it now.”With a bemused smile on her face, she ran her fingers on his abs, trying to tickle him and thus bring him out of his slumber. However, he didn’t move even a little bit. Her fingers stopped by his nipple. “Look at these perky little nipples. Not too pink or bi
Jacob had gone out for an early walk in the morning. He would usually walk in the garden whenever he had free time, but this time, he decided to hit the streets.The people in the neighborhood who would die to talk with him in the past were now looking at him with either pitiful or mocking expressions that weren’t so obvious. He couldn’t even make eye contact with them for long. Keeping his head straight, he kept walking.“When I had money, everyone treated me like I was their big brother, but now, they don’t even want to talk to me. Even my own family members began treating me differently.” He felt some trouble breathing. “This is the bitter truth of reality.”An old man approached him, while walking his dog. “Mr. Jacob, since when are you coming outside for a walk?”“Just started it today, Mr. Wesley,” replied Jacob, with a bit of a happy tone, glad that someone was willing to talk with him. Wesley owned food-processing facilities and was a millionaire.“Oh, change is good for menta
It was breakfast time.Everyone except Selena was there.Roshan looked dull because his girlfriend, the one he had a crush on for two years, did not take him seriously and tricked him into believing that she liked him. Naturally, he was so devastated he cried for more than an hour in the bathroom. It was only after his sister got worried for him and demanded that he come outside, he came out and cried some more.At the moment, Lisa could see that Roshan was barely touching the food. She pitied her little brother. (I had no idea he loved her so much. Now, the poor guy will probably never trust any girl that comes near him again. If I knew he would be so sensitive about this issue to the point of losing sleep and appetite, I wouldn’t have been so direct, at least. I should try buying him some physical copies of his favorite games.)Elizabeth kept praising her mother, hoping to attract Ryan’s attention. Shawn was lost in his own thoughts. Louis and Bella didn’t seem to like the fact that
Rebecca wasn’t crestfallen, but she definitely was disenchanted by Benjamin, given how he had left her at the dining table. The disappointment when something didn’t go as she had hoped wasn’t new to her, but it still tasted sour.She went to her room, packed the necessary things in her purse, and was coming out.Delle was at the door. “Ma’am, can you give your car keys? Your father is asking for it.”“My dad?” Rebecca was quite surprised. Jacob had never asked for her car before, so she couldn’t understand why he was asking for it now. (Does he not want to go out in his own car, afraid that the money lenders will come after him?) Whatever the reason was, she didn’t mind giving him the car, so she gave the keys to Delle. “Bring me the keys at night.”“Yes, ma’am. Thank you,” Delle politely bowed and left.Rebecca had to come back to her bed and grab another set of car keys that were of a Land Rover. “I didn’t think I would be using the second car so soon.” It was many levels below her
