Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 39
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
Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 40
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

At midnight, Benjamin came home with a large pizza he took two hours to prepare. He had to take leave early before his night shift was over. After all, he wouldn’t want to feed his wife a pizza at four in the morning.It was just past twelve, and the dogs were out and barking and playing in the garden. They noticed Benjamin strolling toward the villa, but what caught their noses was the smell emanating from the package in his hands.All six dogs began running toward him, already drooling saliva. Benjamin initially didn’t think anything was wrong, but the scene of six dogs running brought up doubt in his mind. Once he realized that they were attracted by the smell of the pizza, his heart skipped a beat.He immediately ran toward the villa. The dogs were faster than him, or so it seemed initially. Whether it was the work of adrenaline or not, Benjamin actually managed to cover more distance than the dogs and entered the villa. Once he was in, the dogs didn’t dare step inside. They had a

Shawn had been sitting on a golf court for over two hours, but he patiently waited. A Ferrari entered his view, and then gradually the noise of its engine. He stood and didn’t move even though the vehicle came straight at him. At the last second, the vehicle arched around him and stopped fast, lifting up grass and dirt. A handsome hunk stepped out. He was almost as tall as Shawn and just as masculine. He was wearing what might seem like a casual white T-shirt and blue jeans, but these were the same clothes worn by his favorite movie stars, which he later acquired for free. His shoes had gold linings, and so hid the tip of his wallet showing through the backpocket. “Did I make you wait for too long?” he asked. “Any longer, and I might have come looking for you,” Shawn said with a poker face. “Haha,” he and Shawn then laughed and shook each other’s hands. They sat down at a table with an umbrella attached on top. He took out two Mayan Sicars from the tobacco box and gave one to Shaw

Anous’ wife told him to quit the job. However, not wanting to lose his primary sponsor, he was thinking of returning to work in a few days even though he suffered from a heart attack.“Benjamin told my wife that I should bring his car?” Anous’ frowned a little bit. “So he isn't as dumb as I thought. But I have Madam Elizabeth on my side. I have nothing to fear even if the truth gets known.”At that moment, Alfred entered the room with a basket full of fruits and a bouquet. “You seem to be doing great, Mr. Anus.”“I don’t know who you are, mister, but my name isn’t Anus. It’s Anous. U is silent.”“Ah, is it?” Alfred sat down and began crunching on one of the apples from the basket, puzzling Anous, who thought the fruits were brought for him.“Who are you, sir? What do you want?” Anous asked. His wife or children weren't in the room.“I just came to see a patient in the room next to you,” Alfred replied, “so I thought I’d meet you as well.”“Oh, but… do I know you?”“No, you don’t,” Alf

Instead of parking the car, Oliver was taking a tour throughout the garden in the bugatti. “Haha, this is freaking awesome!” he felt so thrilled. “If I can bust out through a gate, it’ll be like playing GTA in real life!”However, his excitement was cut short by Lisa and Roshan who wanted to drive the black-and-orange Bugatti Chiron for themselves.Oliver could only cry on the inside as he got out of the car with a smile on his face.Lisa wanted to sit in the driver’s seat, but Roshan pulled her back by her hair and sat in the driver’s seat first. She yelled at him, telling him to get out, but he shut the door and went for a ride in the super sports car. “Huhoo… this engine speaks speed! The turbochargers really work!” He recklessly drove the car around the garden.Vlad and Mercie were watching from the balcony while licking on lollipops with strawberry flavors, and while putting on a poker face, they bet on whether Roshan would hit the car to a tree or not.Meanwhile, Kathy knocked t
Savvy Son-in-law CHAPTER 45
When Selena returned home, Lisa and Roshan made a mountain out of the molehill regarding what Benjamin had done to them. They also repeatedly told Veronica and the maids, and they waited till midnight and told Shawn when he came home. And they took Shawn to Rebecca’s room.“Open the door,” Shawn knocked and said a few times, but there was no response.“He locked the door after having dinner,” Lisa said. “He didn’t open it when Grandma told him to!”“What?” Shawn grew angry. “Since when did he grow so arrogant?” he banged the door harder with his hand. Roshan also joined his father and banged the door. The maids and the butlers were watching silently from the side. “Rebecca? What are you doing? At least say something. Do you want me to break the door or what?”Stil, there was no response.Inside the room, Benjamin was reading one of his wife’s fashion magazines. Rebecca was peacefully sleeping, having plugged her ears with noise cancellation earbuds.Though Benjamin sat calmly on the b

A blue bugatti went past Benjamin as he kept staring at the mobile screen. “2.25 million dollar purchase?” his head felt like it grew heavy. “Who the hell is using the card?” he dialed Alfred. “I just got the message. Someone made a 2.25 million dollar purchase using the platinum card you tried to give me. Do you know who it is?”“I know, Master.”“Who is it?”“It’s someone from the Sterling villa,” Alfred didn’t reveal the name on purpose.“What?” Benjamin was startled. His in-laws’ faces popped up in his mind, but then he mainly doubted Elizabeth and Veronica as only those two didn’t have jobs. He even thought of Lisa or Roshan having it, but he didn’t even think of the possibility of the maids or the butlers using the card. “Who is it?” his voice grew deep.“I’m sorry, but you need to find that out by yourself, Master,” Alfred demanded. “Be responsible for your money.” Saying that he ended the call.Benjamin got lost in thought for a few minutes while sitting on the bike at the sid

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
