An old lady entered a luxury watch store. She was in her pajamas and was carrying a small handbag strapped to her chest.The moment she entered, she received negative looks from the workers. “Grandma, where do you think you’re coming?” a female worker asked her.“I want to buy a watch, young one,” the old lady who seemed to be in her eighties said. “No, I want to buy two watches. One for my son, and another for his to-be wife.” She was about to sit in a chair.“Wait, don’t sit,” the worker quickly came past the desk and grabbed her arm. “You need to go out.”“Why?” The old lady seemed a little confused.“There’s nothing here that you can buy,” the worker exerted some force and pulled the old lady away. “If you want to buy watches for your son and daughter-in-law, then you should find a roadside mobile vehicle that sells cheap watches that look like the real ones. That’s going to make your son and daughter-in-law happy, I’m sure.”“But I can afford the watches in this store, young one,
Veronica rolled to her left and then to her right. She covered her ears with the pillow and squeezed it against her head, trying her best to sleep, but Akash’s snoring was being quite a bit of a nuisance to her.The noisy vibration just wasn’t letting her sleep.After struggling for a while, Veronica took her pillow and walked out of the room. She went straight to Rebecca’s room because she was used to sleeping with her sometimes, whenever she felt lonely in the past.However, when she entered the room, she was surprised to see Rebecca sleeping next to a pair of clothes. “That gray suit…” Veronica’s expressions changed because she remembered that the suit belonged to Benjamin. Did her sister miss him so much she was not able to sleep without feeling his presence next to her. (Did you love him that much, sis?) She pursed her lips.Compared to her sister, she felt that her love lacked very much. After all, she couldn’t even put up with Akash’s snoring, and she didn’t even try to attempt
Akash woke up almost half-an-hour after Veronica had done her mischievous act. He didn’t realize right away that there was something in his mouth, but he couldn’t move his jaw. And it made him pull the thing that was in his mouth.He thought it was a piece of cloth at first, but then he soon saw what it was. He immediately looked at Veronica, shocked, but she was sleeping like a baby.How did this purple underwear come into his mouth? Did he do it? Did she do it? Did they do it together? He didn’t remember anything. He didn’t remember drinking alcohol last night, so he wasn’t sure what exactly happened, or how exactly, a woman’s underwear ended up in his mouth.Veronica’s wardrobe was bigger than her room itself, so he couldn’t tell if this purple underwear belonged to her or not. But who else could it belong to? He thought.“Maybe, she put it in my mouth to tell me something without saying it…” his expression suddenly changed because he wondered if Veronica was currently wearing unde
A few months ago. Rebecca came to Rye’s Pizzas in the evening, and she took Benjamin in her red Porsche. “Don’t wear sunglasses, ma’am, they’re not good for your health,” Benjamin said, sitting in the back because she wouldn’t usually let him sit next to her. “Don’t I look cool when I’m wearing them?” Rebecca asked. “Yes, but… you wouldn’t want to harm your health just to look good, would you?” he asked. “Your sister eats whatever she wants, but you think three times before putting a spoonful of ice cream in your mouth. Why is that?” “Because sugar is very bad for you,” Rebecca answered quickly and proudly. “I get my natural sugar from fruits, so I avoid junk food, especially ones that are addictive.” “That’s right. You used discretion there and stayed off from bad sugar products. Sunglasses fall in the same category. They are bad for your eyes. And anything that’s bad for the eyes is bad for the whole body.” Rebecca paused for a second. “So you're telling me, I shouldn’t wear s
A couple of days later.Something felt good as Veronica opened her eyes in the morning, thinking Akash was up to something naughty again, but she found Roja massaging her legs. She immediately sat up. “W-What are you doing?” her legs and feet were completely covered in thick oil, which offended and grossed her out.“I’m helping the blood flow all over your body,” Roja said. “A good foot massage will heal the whole body. Castor oil massage is especially good for health.”Veronica, however, couldn’t understand a single word Roja said. “No. I don’t need you to massage me!” She got up from her bed, but the moment she put her foot down, she slipped and fell back on the bed. “Kyaa! I thought I was gonna die! Just how much oil did you apply on my feet!” she fumed at Roja.“I-I’m sorry,” Roja apologized and then tried to wipe Veronica’s feet clean with a towel, but Veronica didn’t let her.“You’ve done enough!” she pulled her legs away. “Just leave!” she waved her hand, demanding Roja to leav
Veronica’s troubles only kept piling up thanks to the omnipotent presence of her mother-in-law everywhere in the villa, except the bathroom.What Veronica hated more than anything was that for the past two days, Roja kept cooking her country’s dishes which were too spicy and oily for her liking. The maids, Kathy, Amber, and Delle didn’t cook any native dishes, which forced Veronica to eat the food that was made against her will.Naturally, she couldn’t eat much.Seeing her daughter suffering, Selena stayed calm because this was all her plan. She wanted Veronica to snap at Akash’s parents and even Akash if possible.Eating foreign dishes that she didn’t like for six times straight made Veronica reach her limit.The next morning, she saw foreign breakfast again. She had enough. She took Akash to her room and told him, “Do I not have the freedom to eat what I want in my own house?”“What’s wrong, Veronica?” Akash looked clueless. “What happened?”“Can’t you see that I don’t like your cou
Shadow received the message that Benjamin returned home, but he also received another message, which was to clean his heart before coming home.Unlike others, Shadow’s powers were based on darkness. Because he fought the Vampire King, he was advised to clean himself first, which made Shadow take a special journey.He went to the underground Catacomb city, where the lizard people lived. He spent two entire days and nights there in disguise without killing or fighting anybody, even though a lot of evil things had taken all around him. It was quite an emotionally and mentally draining task because he hated what he was seeing but couldn’t act on it. He had to suffer and be patient, regardless of what he saw, whether it was watching human slaves get treated like crap or the other heinous things the lizard people were doing. They were all continuously evil, and Shadow could not stay there any more than two days.Whenever he was about to lose control, he remembered Ryan’s teachings: If your
The Infinite Dungeon was known to have the most powerful herbs and also the most amount of gold and silver stored in it.This dungeon was located deep below Catacomb city. Anybody who committed a crime would be thrown into the dungeon, from which they wouldn’t ever return.After all, the infinitely complex dungeon was full of venomous creatures that thrived in the dark, with Granma being their ruler.Granma was a giant spider with horns, which the lizard people considered to be the most powerful creature in the world. Some even considered it to have created the world itself because it was capable of using supernatural powers.Every month, the kidnapped humans would have one of their limbs get broken and then get thrown into the dungeon as sacrifices to appease Granma, so that it wouldn’t leave the dungeon and come after the lizards. The sacrifices thrown in the dungeon were called the birdies, symbolizing that a fallen bird would fall prey to the spider that rules under heaven.Curren
