Shadow was forced to move away from the city by the repeated lightning strikes.“It seems their intention is to separate me from Rebecca. But Louis and Bella are in the villa. They are not awakened, but they are experienced. They should be able to take care of any trouble that may show up. Still, I should get rid of these two as fast as possible.”Shadow stopped on a hilltop.A thunderbolt came shooting down at him. He took his dagger out and deflected the bolt.“Huhoo…” Zakaria was pleasantly surprised. “Did he just deflect a freaking lightning bolt? How fast can this bastard move? If he was able to fly, we would have been in trouble.”“Let’s take him to ‘that’ place,” Cranston said. “We’ll look for an opportunity and leech the life out of him.”Both of them stopped attacking with the lightning bolts and led Shadow into the underground tunnels.Shadow understood what they were up to, but he fearlessly entered the tunnels anyway. He tracked the vampires down through the dark tunnels f
“It’s Benjamin!” Akash yelled with excitement.“Pfft,” Champagne spilled from their mouths and fell on each other’s faces. Some drops fell on the kids, too, as they were nearby. “What?”Everyone looked toward the entrance forthwith. They had never turned their heads so fast in their lives. And to their heart-skipping surprise, it really was Benjamin in the flesh.As Benjamin came toward them, nobody except Akash could move.“Brother…” Akash went up to him and gave him a hug. “You did it. You brought your wife back. I believed you would.”“It wasn’t easy though,” Benjamin smiled and scanned around all those in the hall. He couldn’t find Rebecca. “Where’s my wife?”My wife.These two words surprised and stunned everyone, especially Selena. He had never called her like this before, not from what they could recollect. The sheer confidence that could be felt in Benjamin’s voice now greatly weighed on her shoulders at this moment. She wanted to say her daughter needed some time alone, but s
A sound slap it was. One that had both annoyance and arrogance mixed in it.The moment Benjamin slapped Akash right before Selena’s eyes, she ended up spilling the wine, which fell right on top of Benjamin’s feet.He briefly looked down, then slightly turned his head and glared at her. Selena felt paralyzed by fear. It was only for a second that he looked at her, she felt like he was about to kill her. She knew he hated her, but was it to this extent?She was definitely shocked by Benjamin’s reaction, but not as much as Akash was shocked by Benjamin’s action.Akash covered his cheek and watched in disbelief as Benjamin went upstairs, as if nothing had happened.Lisa and Roshan were controlling from bursting into laughter.“He was so happy that his brother came back,” Elizabeth said, “and I’m sure he’s even happier now that he received a slap.”“Pfft! Puahaha,” Lisa and Roshan couldn’t control their laughter anymore.It was humiliating for Akash. Unable to stay there any longer and sho
Benjamin followed Rebecca and entered the bathroom.“Aren’t you going to shut the door?” Rebecca asked, trying to keep her heartbeat under control, as she peered into his eyes.“The main door was already shut,” Benjamin assured.“Still… What if someone suddenly breaks inside?” Rebecca reasoned.“Don’t worry. That won’t happen,” Benjamin stepped closer, making her heart race. He grabbed her waist firmly, sending currents everywhere through her flesh. The bite mark surfaced on her neck. She bit her lower lip to control herself. Even though she didn’t say it out loud, she had waited for this day for so long. She was lifting her hand to touch his face, and the bite mark was beginning to fade away.Suddenly, someone knocked on the door very hard, almost scaring Rebecca in the process.“Rebecca! Open the door!” a feminine voice yelled from outside.Rebecca instantly recognized that voice and said, “I’m coming, Jane. Just a second.”Benjamin didn’t like it when she said those words. “Don’t
Benjamin, his clone, to be precise, brought Rebecca to the rooftop where there was a casket. He put her inside the casket and shut the lid.“If I can continue making her believe that I’m Benjamin and then impregnate her with Amaal’s semen that he stored inside me,” he touched his belly, “my job will be done. It’s a short life, but I’ve gotta do what I’m made to do. My maximum lifespan is three years anyway.”He was about to pick up the casket, but a figure appeared in his view. He moved his head back immediately. In doing so, he dodged from a sword that could have sliced his neck off.The one who was wielding the short sword was Mina.While Benjamin’s back was bent, he pointed his finger at her. Bullets were blasted at her face.Mina blew air through her mouth, which traveled like a spiral and not only stopped the bullets in track but struck Benjamin’s body and crashed him down to the floor, forming many cracks on the rooftop, lifting up dirt.Benjamin ground his teeth. “That hurts. Y
Somewhere inside a railway tunnel.Zakaria and Cranston came out through a hidden door. Both of them looked quite tired.“You think he’s dead by now?” Zakaria wondered.“The water pressure alone would have long choked him to death. We might have lost Area Z, but it’s worth it since we’ve taken a strong opponent down.” Cranston started smoking a thick cigar. Zakaria saw that and snatched the cigar and took a couple of whiffs.Cranston asked for the cigar, but Zakaria refused to give it back.Both of them soon started wrestling for the cigar because it was the only one left. Even though they could hear a train coming, they didn’t stop fighting. Just when the train was passing by, the cigar flew out of their hand and ended up getting destroyed by the train. Both their faces turned ashen.And they resumed their fight. Even after the train left, they didn’t stop clawing at each other much more viciously than a pair of pissed-off cats would.Suddenly, the ground tremored.“What the hell?” t
The next day.The broken walls of the Sterling villa were being repaired by workers brought by Dewar. He had been lingering around the villa as he had no other place to go. He started working under Rodnie a month ago in return for protection from the Sehla family.Amber didn’t stop selling vegetables and fruits despite what had transpired at the villa. Akash also worked hard in the garden as he had been doing everyday.Shadow had been sitting on the rooftop since his return to the villa. His senses took note of everything crossing the perimeter walls of the villa. Not even an ant or a fly could escape his senses that were spread throughout the villa.Louis and Bella came up to him from behind. “Can we talk?”Shadow opened his eyes. “What is it, Gray and Black Ghosts of Phantom Creed?”“The Phantom Creed we know is dead now that Butcher Bones is dead,” Bella quickly replied. “We’re free now. Radicals, as some prefer to call us.”“I wouldn’t be so sure if I were you,” Shadow thought bac
Two days later.Ryan came to the Sterling villa. Mina greeted him with great anticipation. “Did they agree?”“Why would I come here if they did?” Ryan slightly tightened his grip on the walking staff. “Since I’m here, you can go back.” He saw Selena in the distance. She had gotten a nose job and looked like she previously did.Diana Pennell, an old friend of Selena, asked her, “Is it true that your eldest daughter got married like a year ago and you all kept it a secret?”“Haha,” Selena awkwardly laughed. “We have our reasons.”“What reasons?”“I’d rather not talk about them now.”“Then can you tell me why you’re not acting anymore?”“Andrew Sehla,” Selena cursed him with no hesitation. “That old fucker’s making all the producers not approach me. Even the ones I’m close with are avoiding me. My husband is also facing the same issue. We can only be patient and wait for our time. When I get the chance, I’ll dig a dildo down his ass.”Diana was a bit confounded. “Shouldn’t it be ‘shove o
