Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 239
Benjamin skated through the city streets and was having fun, but his thoughts were still on what he should name the company he wanted to start with Rebecca. “I think R&B would be good. I’ll ask her opinion first.”As he was passing by a school, he saw a familiar person. The old guard at the main gate was picking up a cigarette off the ground. “Damn these kids. I told a few of them to not smoke inside the school, so they’re leaving cigarette butts right where I sit.” He shook his head and was about to sit back in the shade, but Benjamin swiftly came to a stop before him. He recognized Benjamin.“Devon… what are you doing here?” Benjamin asked. “I made a fixed deposit for you, and even gave your son some money. So why are you here, working as a watchman?”Devon, the old butler who had worked in the Sterling villa for decades, lowered his head in shame. “They took the money from me, Benjamin, and kicked me out.”Benjamin had already expected it, but still, hearing it from Devon’s mouth
Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 240
Steve hoped Donovan didn’t leave the apartment yet, even though he had warned both Donovan and Jasmine to leave within 24 hours. However, when he went to their room, it was still locked from the inside. He kicked the door open. He and Jane then entered the room together. Both Donovan and Jasmine were having sex in the bedroom, even though they were sick with chickenpox.While Jane felt disgusted by it, Steve grabbed the broom and started beating the crap out of Donovan, not even giving him any time to talk. Donovan caught the broomstick at one point and tried to gain the upperhand, but then Steve took his gun out.“You’re not gonna shoot me,” Donovan confidently said, swinging the broom at Steve, but the bullet hit Donovan’s arm first.Jasmine started screaming, still in bed and having covered her nakedness with the blanket and pillow.Donovan jumped on both feet and cringed in pain. Steve put the gun away and implemented his shadow-boxing routine on Donovan until he went down on the

Rebecca was in the shower, cooling her head for the past fifteen minutes. She was thinking about her mother.“She lies, tricks, and does cynical stuff at times, but she still cares for the family.” Rebecca thought. “She’s close-fisted, but when it matters, she spends money without worrying.”She remembered how Selena paid for the hospital bills and also hired bodyguards and nurses and even began overseeing the meal preparation when Selena generally didn’t like stepping into the kitchen because of the smells. Selena also believed that someone like her shouldn’t cook in the kitchen, and so Rebecca also didn’t learn cooking until recently.“She’s much more selfish than me, but there’s still a sense of warped love hidden behind her actions,” Rebecca murmured to herself. “Of course, I’m not the one who’s supposed to forgive her for what she keeps doing to Benjamin, but I can, maybe, forgive her for keeping all my money with her.”Since Selena was taking responsibility for her family when n

In Selena’s room.Selena had just come to her room, and she was trying to get some sleep before dinner-time, but she was struggling because her nose wasn’t healed yet, and she was finding it hard to breathe, especially when lying down on the bed. Whenever she didn’t get sleep, she would generally read a book until she slipped into asleep, but tonight, she was just talking to herself.“The nose surgery will be perfect, I’m sure, and it’ll look more beautiful than before,” Selena briefly remembered how she was born with a slightly upturned nose, and her childhood friends used to call her Pug all the time, even though she was the class representative. They used to poke her with the pencils from back benches, steal her items, and mistreat her a lot in many different ways. One day, she fought with the entire class during recess, and she ended up smashing a girl’s face into the window and breaking her nose. Her friend later got their nose repaired, and that made Selena want to change the wa

Selena was sleeping, and someone patted her hard and fast. Multiple times. She woke up in startlement, only to see her daughter and her son-in-law standing behind her, wearing hard faces. “Rebecca?”“Why did you kill him?” Rebecca straightforwardly asked.“Kill whom?” Selena asked back just as fast.“Devon. Why did you get him beaten to death?” Rebecca demanded an answer right in front of Benjamin, which Selena didn’t like and made her face scrunch.“Nonsense. Devon left his job long ago,” Selena stated confidently. “It’s been a while since I last saw him.”Rebecca took Benjamin’s mobile and showed her mom the camera recording from the villa’s footage. It showed Devon getting beat up by the bodyguards.Selena frowned, but she quickly said, “I can’t even see his face clearly, but even if it’s Devon, and he got beaten to death by the bodyguards, why are you upset about it? He’s just a useless old guy who has become a slave to his habits.”Rebecca ground her teeth. She wanted to throw th

Only Rebecca, Benjamin, and Delle didn’t eat dinner because of the same reason: Devon’s death. Delle had a good relationship with Devon, so her conscience didn’t let her eat that night, either.Delle was taking care of Jacob until Selena entered the room and told her to leave.Selena closed the door and sat next to Jacob’s bed.A minute passed silently.“How are your eyes?” asked Jacob, wearing a poker face.Selena sucked in a breath through the gap between her teeth. “You must be feeling quite happy inside.”“She’s your daughter first,” Jacob was able to slightly move his arms and legs now. A good night’s sleep would be enough for him to get up, he thought. “But throwing orange juice in the eyes? Just what did you do to piss her off that much?”She harrumphed. “You already know everything, yet you ask me like an innocent child.”“Well, you took her hard-earned money and kept it with you,” Jacob frankly said. “She didn’t do anything at that time because she’s not money-minded, but she

The three bodyguards clobbered Benjamin with metal rods until he wasn’t moving and was bleeding everywhere.One of them took out a gun and was fixing a silencer, but another guy stopped him and said, “We don’t want to leave any clues that might lead back to us. Let’s just bury him like this, and he’ll die before we completely bury this hole.”“That way, it looks more like someone from the household beat him up… in case someone finds his body, huh. I like it.” He put the gun away. Instead of dragging Benjamin’s body, two of them picked him up and took him to the pit while the third guy was wiping the traces of blood off the ground. They were quite thorough with everything as if they had prior experience.They tied up Benjamin’s hands and feet before tossing him in the ten-feet deep pit. All eight of them worked together to fill the grave and then cover it up with natural grass mats. They finished everything in under twenty minutes. After sprinkling some salt, pepper, and chili powder a

The next morning.Delle, for the first time in a long while, didn’t wake up when the alarm had rung. Kathy had to come and wake her up. Finding Delle naked was surely a surprise for Kathy, but she didn’t think Delle had sex with someone. That didn’t even cross her mind.“Get ready quickly. We might receive some guests today that’ll stay until the party finishes,” Kathy told her and left.Delle didn’t know when George had left, but thinking about last night, she smiled within herself. “I’ll prepare a special breakfast for you, George,” she thought. “It’d be a token of love, I guess?”Delle had never opened herself up in recent times because of her checkered past.“But first, I should take care of Madam Selena,” Delle dressed up quickly and put on minimal make-up before rushing to the kitchen. She made black coffee and took it to Selena’s room. The door was ajar, so she let herself in. She put the coffee plate on the lamp desk and opened the curtains. The sunrays refracted through the g

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

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. Dressed in dazzling white, she looked like the walking moon.Benjamin didn’t even look in her direction as his back faced the villa.Holding a bouquet of white roses and lilies, she waited for the groom.Moments later, Benyamin also walked out of the villa, as escorted by none but himself.
