Akash woke up in the morning, and he was told to do most of the household chores, not just by Selena and Elizabeth but also by the maids. They didn’t tell him to cook because he didn’t know how to cook.Nevertheless, he was sent out to buy milk, eggs, and meat, but he wasn’t allowed to drive a car. He had to go by foot, and the excuse Selena gave him was that the Sterling family can’t afford to use petrol unless really necessary. Though she said that, she would only use a car every time she went out.When he came back with milk and eggs, he was told to water the plants, and he did. He was then sitting at the dining table, but then Elizabeth told him to go and massage Dorothy first.Akash was honestly hungry and tired at this point, but he didn’t want to fight against Elizabeth’s loud mouth. So, he had to do what she told him to do. After he massaged Dorothy for almost half-hour, his hands were hurting so much he wanted to rest, but, no.Elizabeth again came and told him to help Kathy
Elizabeth was so shocked she couldn’t move. Even though she kept bleeding, she did know what to do at the moment. Nobody had treated her like this before. She was not just shocked but also greatly enraged.Akash, on the other hand, frowned. He didn’t intend for her to hit the table and get wounded like that. He wanted to help her, but at the same time, he shouldn’t do that because he was the one that just hit her. He looked at Veronica and said, “What are you doing standing there? Take a towel and press it against the wound. You must stop the bleeding. I’ll call for a doctor.”“Y-Yeah,” Veronica hadn’t encountered such a situation before, so she was very late to react. She grabbed the napkin off the table and put it on Elizabeth’s wound and helped her get up to her feet.“You’re dead,” Elizabeth told Akash in a shaky but vengeful voice.Moments after Veronica had taken Elizabeth to her room, Akash saw Shawn coming out of the room, while glaring at him.“How dare you injure my wife?” S
Akash was taken to a separate room. When Veronica finally came and saw him, she grew angry, but what could she do to her own elder brother? The best she could do now was apologize to Akash for what her brother had done to him. “I’m sorry.”Akash didn’t feel any better after hearing her apology because it felt like her words lacked substance.Soon, the family doctor came and treated Elizabeth. Veronica went to the doctor to bring him to Akash’s room as well, but Elizabeth told Veronica, “Your husband only suffered a minor nose injury. He doesn’t need to be checked by a professional doctor. He can just be treated by the maids.”“Are you fucking kidding me?” Veronica had enough. “My husband worked more in this house in the past few weeks than you had in all your years of staying here! You’re not qualified to tell whether he should receive the treatment from a doctor or not!”Elizabeth’s eyes reddened. She looked at her husband, as if telling him to keep her in check, but Shawn had never
Shadow who wasn’t put in a cell like Rye or Benjamin but was locked up in a particular house and was told to read a large novel written in a language he didn’t know. He would be allowed to come out only after reading and understanding the novel. This was a punishment that put his patience as well as his intelligence and faith to test.Shadow wasn’t the first to receive this sort of a punishment. Some others who received this punishment in the past were able to learn the language with their own intellect, but it had taken them months if not years to do it. And then there were others who were able to understand the foreign novel with the gift of the tongues, which they believed was given by God himself.Ryan paid a visit to Shadow, expecting him to be trying his best to read and understand the book or at least pray for knowledge and wisdom to succeed in this mission put before him. However Shadow was using that novel as a pillow and was snoring like a pig.Ryan shook his head and then w
A milkman entered the Sterling villa in the morning and delivered two cans full of cow and buffalo milk. Delle personally checked the quality of the milk with an instrument to make sure it wasn’t bastardized.Delle poured the raw milk into smaller glass bottles and filled the different refrigerators in the villa with it.While the men in the building avoided drinking raw milk, almost every woman in the villa consumed it because Selena had made it so they learned that habit. From a young age, Selena had the habit of drinking raw milk at some point of the day, except in the morning because she preferred coffee after getting up from the bed.It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that Selena, Elizabeth, Veronica, and Rebecca didn’t get any allergic diseases or health complications in recent times because they developed this habit. Even illness that would be common for women in this day and age wouldn’t even come close to those in the Sterling villa.More importantly, Selena would give a s
Selena wasn’t done roasting Andrew Sehla just yet.She began to release video bytes, where she further elaborated on how important raw milk was and how it should absolutely be part of one’s diet. At the same time, she told everyone to not keep the milk in the fridge for no longer than two days, unless it was Andrew Sehla who could even drink milk procured a month ago.On top of that, Selena mixed lies with truth and told in the videos that Andrew tried to hit on her in the past even after knowing that she was married. She even went on to say, “Nobody would want Andrew around. He’s a parasite of humanity, using his power and money to destroy everything he touches. He and his ashkenazi friends had our family attacked not long ago, too, for what? Because I didn’t come into his bedroom? I will never bow down to these filthy bastards who think they can have everything under the sun. Now, you all might be wondering why I’m coming out now. I’m not doing this for money. I just want his bullyi
A few days later.Akash recovered enough to get off the bed and walk around without much of a problem, and the maids had given him a broom and a mop and told him to clean the house, saying it’d be like an exercise that would heal his body faster.Akash could only pitifully smile and start cleaning the house. But what hurt him was that nobody cared that he was cleaning the house and began to walk around in the spots where he just cleaned. Elizabeth purposely dropped some crumbs of fast food on the floor just to get on his nerves. Even her daughter Lisa was not being mindful that he was cleaning.The only two people that showed any respect or care were Veronica and her sister Rebecca. Only those two avoided blatantly stepping on the spots that were just cleaned.The only good thing about this cleaning job was that he was able to see what everybody in the house was doing.Jacob, who would never have enough time in a day, now found himself free and bored most of the day. The frustration i
Rebecca was sitting on the balcony and was drinking raw milk. She saw an old lady beggar who had entered the villa as a customer and then asked Kathy to give him some fruits and vegetables, but Kathy coldly refused and told him to get the hell out, saying that she was working hard for every fruit and vegetable in the garden.Rebecca was watching the old beggar leave pitifully. “Give her a bag of fruits, Kathy,” she ordered from the balcony in a loud enough voice.Kathy didn’t like what she heard. “Young Mistress, she’s probably earned a lot from begging yesterday. She just came here to earn free breakfast. There’s no need to waste our goods on her.”“Look around you, Kathy,’ Rebecca said. “The garden is growing and growing every day. If not for Mr. Ryan’s advice, our garden wouldn’t have prospered like this. He gave us this garden for free, so why can’t you give at least a little bit of the produce to the needy? Don’t let great abundance become a great handicap for you.”(You’re not t
