Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 33
“The Hogs failed?” Francis the criminal lawyer cut the call. “I just wanted him beat, so I can push the blame onto Jacob or his eldest son, which will surely make him flee from the villa. But why is just beating this bastard taking so long? I want my son to enter Selena’s daughter’s life, so I can become related to Selena at least this way, but…” after thinking a bit, he dialed another number. “Hello, Blackbear. What happened to the task I gave you? Were you fucking sleeping?”“I was working on it, Mr. Francis,” Blackbear replied a little politely, “but you went and asked the useless Hogs to finish the task that even four of my men couldn’t finish?”“Let’s get to the point. How much time will you need?”“A month. Not a day more.”“Fine,” Francis’ voice turned cold. “If you fail this time, be prepared to see the samurai.” He then ended the call. “Edward said he’ll take care of the son-in-law in a month as well, didn’t he? Let’s see which one of us will succeed first.”“Why, sir?” Franc
Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 34
At Sterling's villa.The gate guard was sleeping with his mouth open, and a fly took a tour inside his mouth before entering his nose. He was forced to sneeze. It woke him up. He checked his watch. “5:30 only?” There were still thirty minutes left for his shift to be completed. “Where’s the Unpaid Maid?” he was looking at the list of groceries Kathy had given to him to bring, but he wanted to make Benjamin do the job for him as he had done so twice in the past.A gray Honda zoomed into his view and slowed down at the entrance but kept coming straight at the chair he was sitting in. “Hey, hey, hey!” he cried out in fear. There was no time for him to even move. He thought the car would hit him and squash him into the guardpost, but the car stopped inches away from him. He almost pissed in his pants.The car moved back a little, and then a familiar head poked outside. An amused grin played on that face, shocking the guard. “U-Unpaid Maid?”“What are you looking at?” Benjamin asked. “Open

“Hello, my little bird,” a creepy caring voice came from the other side, sending a chill all over Rebecca’s body. “Normally, I am the one who ensnares women, but it's the opposite in your case. You’ve tied me up with your peerless beauty.”Rebecca immediately recognized this man. It was Arlo Campbell, the governor’s son. She thought he wouldn’t contact her again after her father had talked with his father. Clearly, she was wrong.“What’s wrong, dear?” Arlo continued to speak in a saucy tone, “Did you think I will give up on you just because your father had a little chat with mine? While your father may be rich, my father is the richest elected official of the country. Even the president has to think twice before talking with my dad, so you see… I believe your father didn’t give enough respect to my father, but I can forgive him because he’s responsible for your birth. Without him, a rare bird like you wouldn’t have been born. You are a thousand times more beautiful than your mother, a

When Rebecca tried to cover Benjamin with the blanket, a muscle in her ankle twitched, and she fell on top of him. Her butt crash landed right on top of his belly, and her hand pressed down on his chest as she sought balance.She quickly looked at Benjamin, but luckily, he was still in deep sleep. She found herself staring nonstop at his handsome face, and his pink lips. She could lean closer and kiss them, but she didn’t want to do it this way.Her hand that was resting on his chest could feel its definition, and for a second, she wondered if he got abs. She could tear the shirt open, but she withdrew her hand. However, her other hand then unintentionally ended up taking the support of his pelvis as she stood. And her eyes widened as she looked at her hand and felt the feeling of touching his pelvis.“Did I just…”She took a quick look at his face, and he was still sleeping like a baby. She couldn’t tell where she was putting her hand because of the blanket covering him, but she felt

The next morning.Benjamin woke up at 5 and found himself covered in a blanket. It was his blanket, so he wondered if Rebecca was behind it, but he found it hard to even imagine Rebecca caring about him enough to cover him in a blanket.“It must have been a maid,” he thought. (The new maid is giving me long stares like she wants to eat me. Is it her?) He shook her head. “This is what becomes of a husband who isn’t cared for by his wife. Almost every woman who walks into his life thinks they can sleep with him. It must be even worse for a wife uncared for by her husband. Adulthood is appalling, alright. I wish I was still a kid. How cute would it have been if I had met my wife when we were kids?” Just the thought made him flush a bit. “Ugh,” he sighed, “it’s not possible now anyways.”He suddenly looked up, and a small drone flew down to his level and showed him a video on mobile screen. It displayed the kind act of Rebecca putting a blanket on him.“So it was her…” Benjamin’s heart fl

Anous survived the heart attack thanks to Benjamin’s help. Anous’ wife thanked him a dozen times. Benjamin had wanted to take Anous’ car, but then he changed his mind after being thanked by Anous’ wife a lot of times.When Anous’ woke up hours later, the first thing he saw was his wife laughing to Benjamin’s jokes, and the scene twisted his gut. Firstly, what was the useless son-in-law doing, sitting next to his wife? And why was she laughing so much? Having already suffered from a heart attack before, he quickly realized that he was admitted into a hospital, but why was his wife busy talking with Benjamin when she would be worried about him?Though he didn’t want to admit it, Benjamin was a much better looking guy and was younger, too. It was natural that his wife would get easily attracted toward the son-in-law who even managed to fool someone like Rebecca into marrying him. Just the thought of Benjamin playing with his wife squeezed his heart.His blood pressure began to rise. The

Rebecca’s cry was heard by the maids and the butlers. Though she felt quite the pain for a second, once he put her on the bed and her foot neatly rested, she didn’t feel the pain anymore.“I’m sorry,” Benjamin apologized for the tenth time. “I was…” he couldn’t say the reason as he was staring at her face and forgot about the surroundings.“I don’t think you did it on purpose,” Rebecca said, “so it’s alright.”Benjamin was left speechless. Was she always so understanding? No, something definitely changed in her. He couldn’t pinpoint it but could feel it.“Uh, I couldn’t make it to the job in the morning,” he said, “so I asked for a night shift.”“Oh, so you won’t be here tonight.”“Yeah.” He sounded disappointed.She felt a little bit sour. She currently wasn’t wearing the wedding ring. “Okay. I give you permission.”Whether she was being humorous or not, Benjamin faintly smiled and said, “Thank you, my love.” He leaned forward and gently adjusted a few strands of hair falling down th

What Benjamin thought would become a memorable afternoon turned into a forgettable one. The family doctor was called to treat Rebecca. Selena hurriedly came home and kicked Benjamin out of the room.“How could you not know Rebecca is allergic to dogs?” even Veronica just looked at Benjamin with eyes full of disgust. “You really don’t deserve to be her husband!”Benjamin couldn’t even talk with Rebecca as the mother and daughter pair blocked the entrance.He could only walk the other way and exit the villa. He sat on the stairs, wearing a dull expression. He only wanted to brighten Rebecca’s spirit, but he ended up worsening her situation. He clutched his head. “I only want to show how much I love her, but why do things always turn out this way? It’s like God doesn’t want me to be with her?” he looked up at the sky. “No one can go against your plans, right? It’s times like these I want to believe there’s no God.”Benjamin’s mobile received a text message. He checked it, and his heart s

Benyamin and Rebecca came home in the Porsche.Rebecca looked happy, but Benyamin looked even happier. He was putting on a fake smile as Rye and Uzza were watching from the balcony.He waved his hand at them while Rebecca wasn’t watching.“The nerve of this guy….” Uzza’s jaw hardened. “Please tell me that Maara told Dahlia of the situation here.”“If Dahlia comes and sees what’s happening, all hell will break loose,” Rye opined. “She won’t just talk with him. She will destroy him.”“Yeah. I can see that. Dahlia is very kind in general, but when she gets angry, no one can stop her,” Uzza said.“If she sees Neel like this, she won’t just get angry. She’ll lose her mind. It’s hard to predict what she will do.”Uzza glanced at Rye. “Anyway, what was that back massage all about? Did Benjamin change his mind and give up on Rebecca?”Rye sighed deeply. “I wish that was the case, but he’s so fixated on the 40 day challenge. I was sitting on top of him at some point, and his lips didn’t even b
CHAPTER 912
Louis and Bella were having talks with the Queen’s cafe owner.The star-studded cafe buzzed with a low, melodic hum—the clinking of spoons against china, the murmur of conversations in English, French and many other languages, and the soft jazz drifting from a hidden speaker.Rain pattered lightly against the window, blurring the city lights into impressionistic streaks of color.Benyamin, his dark hair slightly damp from the drizzle, seemingly was captivated not by the view, but by the woman sitting across from him as she told him funny stories from her past.“I’m telling you the truth,” Rebecca said. “The pigeon Elizabeth bought ate the whole croissant right off the table. I’ve never seen anything like it. Elizabeth thought the maid ate the croissant when she wasn’t looking. It led to an argument, until Elizabeth saw the pigeon go for another food item.“After that day, she let the bird go, but that bird would return to Elizabeth’s window for food. She didn’t feed that bird at all,
CHAPTER 911
In the end, Rye didn’t kiss Benjamin. She got up from him and walked away.Benjamin still lay down on the bed.Rye’s scent was still in the air. It was also on his clothes. It was intoxicating, for sure, and he was finding it hard to fight the fleshly feelings that were stirring in him.Benjamin was not even thirty years old.He was near if not at the peak of his manhood, and it wasn’t easy to control the urge of a young man to let a woman’s scent affect him.On top of that, it had a familiar scent.All this made things quite difficult for him.Benjamin didn’t even move for a couple of minutes. Only after his body temperature and heartbeat went down, he got up from the bed.But before he could leave the room, Riley entered the room and shut the door.“W-What are you…” Benjamin was startled.“Hi, slickie,” Riley grinned with shyness and excitement as she approached him. “Can we have a quick, honest talk?”“No, we can’t,” Benjamin said. “Open the door, and let’s talk outside.” He was wa
CHAPTER 910
The first to get upstairs was Roshan followed by his sister Lisa. Riley and other youngsters were right behind.When they looked through the open door in the nearest room, they were all shocked to see Rye walking on top of Benjamin’s back and massaging him.Selena and others also saw what was going on, and the situation turned from a completely serious one into a jovial one.“Haha, what a cute, romantic couple,” Selena laughed heartily.Riley, however, didn’t like what she saw. She wished she was in Rye’s position. She wanted to be the one walking on Benjamin’s back. She couldn’t hide her jealousy which leaked through her eyes right now.“It’s been a while since we’ve done that,” Shawn whispered in his wife’s ears. “Shall we do it tonight?”Elizabeth laughed a little in response.Rebecca did not stay there for long. She walked away, and Benyamin followed her.“Are you feeling jealous of them?” he asked her.“Why would I? They’re lovers. It’s something obvious that they’d do that,” Reb
CHAPTER 909
A long silence filled the hall of the Sterling villa.The only person who was able to smile other than Rebecca and Benyamin was Lisa who was just excited that a wedding was going to happen. She could invite her friends and show off.“A-A wedding?” Selena’s heart hammered against her chest.In the past, Rebecca did not want to reveal to the outside world about her marriage. But now, she wants to announce to the whole world about her marriage?And that, too, when Selena’s fame was rising higher than ever?What was she supposed to tell the guests at the wedding if they were to ask questions about Benyamin?Should she tell them that her son-in-law was a pizza-delivery guy?Just thinking about it sent shivers up and down her spine.“Don’t make this a never-ending debate, Rebecca,” Selena’s voice grew thick very much. “I didn’t like that you married, but you promised me that you wouldn’t hold a function and publicly announce your relationship with him.”“I never promised anything like that,
CHAPTER 908
Shawn brought Benyamin into the villa.With hands in his pockets, Benyamin looked confident and comfortable, as if he didn’t fear anything.“Why did you hit Riley?” Jacob asked him. “For a man to kick a woman in the gut… something vulgar like that…. I never dared to even put such a scene in my movies. What are you thinking when you kicked her? What are you trying to prove?”Benyamin coldly looked at Riley, and she ran and stood behind her mother.“Look at him trying to threaten Riley in front of all of us,” Fiona blurted. “What more proof do you want? Kick this bastard out of this building!”“Why did you hit her?” Jacob asked Benyamin, but he didn’t respond.“Tell us the reason,” Rebecca stepped forward. “Why did you do it? If you haven’t done anything wrong, why are you hesitating?”“I’m not hesitating,” Benyamin replied. “That woman attacked me, and I defended myself. That’s all there is to it. If I really wanted to hurt her, I would have easily punched her nose and broke it.”Selen
CHAPTER 907
Fiona caused a lot of noise and attracted the attention of everyone in the villa.She told them how Benyamin kicked Riley without any conscience, and it enraged Riley’s brothers, uncles, aunts, and dad.Selena was also quite upset by it. “I knew he’s trash, but he stooped to another lower level now.”“He wouldn’t have hit Riley without a reason,” Rebecca backed Benyamin. “First, ask her what she did.”“Are you doubting my daughter?” Fiona glared at her. “You think your husband is a saint or what?”“Whoa, hold it,” Selena intervened. “You don’t talk to my daughter in that tone.”“Why? She’s a princess who rules this country?” Fiona snorted.“One of her hair strands is much more important to me than you and your whole family put together,” Selena replied without hesitation, leaving Fiona and her family members stunned.Benjamin was on the first floor, watching the proceedings. (It’s her obsession over her eldest daughter that has made my life difficult in this villa. She’s obviously not
CHAPTER 906
In the dorms.Maara was swinging the nun-chucks and was hitting two tennis balls against the wall.Benyamin was in the same room, lying on the bed, with his hands under his head. “When are you going to get married, Maara?”Maara didn’t say anything.“You should find someone suitable for you in this city,” Benyamin opined. “Then you won’t have to go back to Sciocidad. That place is pretty boring, isn’t it?”“No, it’s not boring to me,” Marra replied. “It’s where my friends and family are.”“Tsk, you’re boring,” Benyamin openly stated.Maara hit the tennis balls at an angle so that they flew straight toward Benyamin’s face.However, he caught them both with one hand.“Are you butthurt by what I said?” Benyamin smirked. “You are tall and dark. You won’t find a suitable mate in Sciocidad, so you should find your partner here among the commoners. I was telling you what's good for you, but instead of thanking me, you are getting angry at me.”Maara turned to face him. “I can’t feel it, but
CHAPTER 905
George came to Rebecca who was sitting in front of a piano she hadn’t played in a long time.“Will you help me with learning the piano?” George asked her politely.“I myself am relearning it, so, no,” Rebecca replied, “uncle.”George laughed. “I’m your brother-in-law, not your uncle.”“Both are fitting,” she retorted, “in this case.”George found it embarrassing and frustrating that she wasn’t giving him any face even though he was just trying to be friendly, albeit with hidden intentions. “Do you know what happened to your sister’s husband?”“Akash left, it seems,” Rebecca said.“Yeah. But the shocking thing is that Veronica isn’t crying,” George opined. “Even enemies will shed tears as they’re parting, but… how come your sister isn’t shedding a tear? I didn’t know her heart was so cold.”“It is good that she’s not faking her crying like some others do,” Rebecca replied, startling George.“I-Is that what you think? Now that you put it that way, I don’t disagree.”Just then, Fiona arr
