The next morning.The Sterling villa was still in an absolute mess. The stage, the chairs, the food, and everything was still left as it was when the shooting had started and chaos ensued afterward.The house dogs were let loose, and so they were having a feast on the meat dishes. Some birds also dropped by and nibbled on the rice.Selena’s silver Audi S6 had a few bullet holes in it.Amber collected the handbags, mobiles, and other belongings that were on the ground and took them to her room. “Should I return these, or should I sell them?” she thought about it but couldn’t come to a decision quickly.She then came to Shawn’s room. “How’s she doing?” he asked.“She’s got a fever, sir,” she replied, not looking happy. “I and Kathy told her to sleep, but she isn’t sleeping. She hasn’t spoken a word since last night.”“She must be worried for Rebecca,” Shawn wished he could get up from the bed, but the pain in his back just didn’t let him move. He still felt powerless, which frustrated h
Tens of thousands of miles away from the Sterling villa, in a kingdom far removed from the rest of the world.In a cold, dark stone castle, in one of the rooms, Rebecca was sitting on the bed, her wrists and ankles bound with chains.Two maids were standing on either side of the bed; they were looking straight at her with enlarged eyes. Both of them had large fangs protruding out of their mouths. Their eyes glowed brown, giving off an earthly glow. They were intimidating to look at, so Rebecca kept her head lowered, her forehead touching her knees.The door opened, and a young man wearing a royal mantle entered the room. It was Damian. A glance from him, and the maids walked out of the room and shut the door.“Rebecca Sterling…” Damian politely spoke. “I know Brother Benjamin worked in your villa, and that he isn’t your husband. I know that Jane is his wife, even though Sasha claims that you’re Benjamin’s wife so I’ll send you home. I’m not going to fall for such lies.”Rebecca lifted
In the Sterling villa.Roshan came to meet Shawn. Elizabeth and Lisa were also with him. Shawn was extremely happy and glad to see that Roshan was able to slightly feel and move his arms already.“No doubt, this is a miracle!” Shawn couldn’t speak loud, but he couldn’t help himself from shouting in joy. “Thank you, God. Thank you for being kind to my son.”Now Roshan would be able to continue his studies like other teenagers his age, so Shawn couldn’t be happier.“I hope you get well soon, too, Darling,” Elizabeth leaned in and kissed Shawn on his forehead. Her warm kiss lifted his spirit, and then his children kissed him on the cheeks, further warming up his heart. It brought tears to his eyes. “Thank you. I’m blessed to have you all as my family.”“We feel the same about you, Shawn,” Elizabeth said.Just then, Kathy entered the room with an envelope in her hand. An ample amount of shock was built up in her face. “Ma’am, you should see this.” She gave the envelope to Elizabeth who ch
A few moments ago. Benjamin was walking through the poisonous fog, and he could feel the grass under his feet. “They say the moonlight doesn’t reach here because of the bizarre clouds and fog covering the continent. Even the sunlight doesn’t reach here all year. They must be using ancient technology to create a sun and moon over their kingdom. Otherwise, grass wouldn’t be able to grow in this place. It would be just like the ice wall I crossed recently. But I can sense different lifeforms on this continent.” He could feel Rebecca’s presence as well, especially because he had marked her. Just thinking about her hardened his expression. Just then he stepped out of the fog. The giants that were slurping on the monster soup off the ground noticed him. Their mouths immediately converged onto Benjamin at a blistering speed. A silver lightning sword appeared in Benjamin’s hand. With a double-handed swing, he cut through the giant faces in half. All the fog and sky behind them got cleave
Damian’s attack was utterly destructive, but he looked over his shoulder, for Benjamin was now standing behind him. Damian immediately realized that what he had struck wasn’t Benjamin’s body but a mere mirage. Damian couldn’t recklessly swing his sword again, as his kingdom was right behind Benjamin. “If words can’t get to you…” Benjamin threw his fist and struck Damina’s jaw, sending him packing down the ten-mile deep crevice in the earth he had just made. Damian grew black wings and flew out of the crevice. His jaw was bruised, and it wasn’t healing. However, Damian was smiling. “Haha,” he was getting excited from the raw pain he felt. “A mere punch is making me feel a bit dizzy. I’ve never experienced something like this before. This is actually wonderful.” He came shooting down, thrusting his sword. “Celestial Flash!” Benjamin blocked the attack with his palm. “Ngh!” Sparks flew out, and the shockwave sent a ripple throughout the space and destroyed the ground under their feet a
Amaal and Brad together entered the room where Rebecca was being kept. She was still unconscious, but the maids immediately kneeled and lowered their heads. “We greet His Majesty.”“She’s a cutie,” Brad’s eyes brimmed with lust as he looked at Rebecca’s face. “I don’t mind doing it to her now.” He shamelessly and fearlessly expressed his wish. Having done so much for the kingdom, he believed Amaal would agree.However, Amaal had a frown going on his face. “Can’t you see the bruise on her neck?”“Mm? The bite mark? What about it?” Brad cluelessly asked.“It’s no ordinary bite mark. It’s an aegis seal,” Amaal didn’t look too happy about it.“What’s that?” Brad didn’t like where this was going.“During the ancient times, when many people started lusting after the neighbors’ wives and things were getting out of hand, some people came up with a seal to bind their wives with, so no one else but them could have sex with their wives.”“H-How’s it possible? Can’t we still put our dick in their
Growing up, Rebecca didn’t have any grandparents or aunts or uncles, but it was okay for her because her mother and her brothers and sister were enough for her as they would play with her, though only until she grew old enough to see through their lies.For instance, Louis would eat Rebecca’s food and say he didn’t. There was no need to lie. He could have said he ate her food, and she probably wouldn’t have minded that, but because of him lying, she was hurt more.Another day, she heard Shawn asking Sheron, the old maid, to cook sweets for him. When Sheron said she would also cook for the girls, Rebecca and Veronica, he told the maid there was no need to include them. Whatever his reason might have been, Rebecca cried inside.Her innocent mind would get hurt because of these heartless acts that would pop up often with every passing month.When she once went out on a trip with her family, she was buying ice cream from a tricycle cart, and a hungry street dog was looking at her. At some
Brad Bundy reached a specific room and opened the door. Sasha was inside, getting forcibly held down by the maids as she just tried to kill herself.Seeing Brad, the maids snatched the knife from Sasha and bowed to the chief commander.“I heard that the Prince married this woman,” Brad was looking at Sasha with obvious disdain in his face, “but I don’t see anything special about you. Unlike the other woman he brought, I can smell many men on you.”Sasha’s face scrunched. She had indeed dated many men and had sex with them, but she didn’t meet any other man after she met Damian. However, none of that mattered now. When the maids gave her fruits and a knife, she thought she had an opportunity to kill herself, but the vampire maids reacted fast and didn’t even let her kill herself.“Did you come here to violate me?” Sasha asked hesitantly, also wondering if Damian had sent Brad to her room.Brad faintly smiled and turned around, “I’m only interested in rare pieces. Your blood isn’t worth
