“I’m done,” Rebecca finished eating and so she stood and was leaving.“Love,” Benjamin grabbed her wrist.“Pfft,” Selena ended up spilling the water in her mouth.Everyone else was just as shocked by what Benjamin did. Not only did he call Rebeeca as ‘Love,’ he also grabbed her hand? Nobody in the house would dare to do such a thing, so how could he do something like that so easily?Veronica was goggle-eyed and stared at them stupidly. Calling her sister ‘Dear’ wasn’t enough? He had to call her ‘Love’ as well? She could tell that Rebecca was definitely upset this time.“You forgot your mobile,” Benjamin picked up the mobile from the table and put it in her hand.As angry as Rebecca was, she controlled herself and said, “Come up after you are done eating.” Saying that she went upstairs.“Okay, Love.”Rebecca walked away in quick and heavy steps. The goodly bedrock of ego and hatred in her heart felt quaking right now.Benjamin continued eating.“How did you two meet?” Veronica asked. “

“Go! Get out!” Roshan rather violently pushed Benjamin out.Benjamin let himself out.Roshan quickly jumped into the car and shut the door. Benjamin came to the other side, but Roshan didn’t open the door. “Adios,” he said and drove away.Benjamin tapped his foot on the ground. A faint surge of electricity went through the road and struck the car, causing its engine to stop almost immediately.“H-Huh?” Roshan was utterly confused. “What happened?”Benjamin walked over to the door and said, “Even the car doesn’t want you to run it.”“I-I didn’t do anything,” Roshan said. “It stopped on its own.”“I’m sure it didn’t,” Benjamin replied.“Please trust me, I didn’t do anything,” Roshan said. “Don’t tell Mom about this, or she’ll kill me!’“Don’t worry, and open the door,” Benjamin said.Roshan opened the door, and Benjamin grabbed the keys. And then he opened the hood and acted as if he did some repair.And then Benjamin sat down in the driving seat and started the engine. The car did star

Benjamin and Roshan spent almost an hour roaming around before returning to the villa.Benjamin bought some fruits when Roshan had actually asked him to buy hot snacks. Because Roshan had a short temper, he refused to eat these fruits.“I’m going to give you a fail grade, Uncle,” Roshan said and rushed into the villa.“Doesn’t he know that the car had a camera installed inside?” Benjamin wondered. “Anyway, I brought some grapes because they were sweet. I can’t wait to eat these together with Rebecca.”As he entered the building, he saw Vlad and Mercie watching a vampire tv show. Benjamin came to them and took out two pomegranate fruits. They looked at the fruits and then got up and quickly scuttled to their rooms.“The lambs that became kids… how pitiful,” Benjamin muttered under his breath. “I just hope their parents did not turn them to sacrifice them later on.”He exhaled audibly and was going upstairs, but then Selena was waiting for him at the top with a pleasant smile on her fac

“Do what you want. If you die, it’s not on me,” Oliver said. “There are cameras, so I can prove my innocence if the blame is shifted onto me.” He then went to the dorms.Benjamin walked away from the cage and sat down on the grass at a distance. The dogs were still growling and barking at him.A few minutes passed, but the dogs still didn’t settle down on their bellies.“A doberman, a pitbull, and two german shepherds,” Benjamin began to cut the grass with his fingers. “It just happened to be a full moon tonight. Is that why you four look so aggressive right now? But the moon isn’t even here yet, so I take it you don’t like me.”He stopped cutting the grass.“So far apart we are, yet so close we get when my eyes close,” he shut his eyes and smiled. “Let us be sweet to each other, my love.”He then opened his eyes and blew air on the grass, making the cut grass fly away. And before him was now Rebecca’s picture on the grass.“Sweet is he who takes your heat but still looks neat, and gi

“We don’t just barely know each other,” Benjamin corrected her and stepped closer. “We have become ONE just two nights back. I can feel your heartbeat from the garden. Can’t you feel my heart from here?” he asked her, staring deep into her eyes. Rebecca found herself staring into his beautiful, blue eyes. “What are you…” “You are my love, and you are my dove,” Benjamin raised his hands and gently touched her cheeks. It was such a gentle touch that she felt like she was melting ever so graciously. “Who gave you the permission to touch me?” she grabbed his wrists and pushed his hands away. “Keep your hands to yourself.” “If I do nothing, then how can we fly high and feel true love, my dove?” Benjamin asked. “What do you know about true love?” Rebecca blurted. “For someone who took advantage of me because I was drunk…” “We drank together, remember?” “No, I don’t remember what happened after some point,” Rebecca hissed. “But you are not eligible to talk about love, or anything like

The next morning.Benjamin woke up to find himself sleeping under a tree. One of the dogs, a german shepherd, was sleeping next to him.He was feeling good even though he didn’t sleep for more than six hours.However, he had no idea at that time that this day would be when he would experience immeasurable discrimination, denunciation, and humiliation.“Mm?” Benjamin looked to his left and saw Vlad and Mercie in the distance, catching bugs and eating them alive. “These guys…” His expression changed. “The little reptiles in their bodies must be urging them to eat insects. If they keep doing that, they will grow to be worse faster. How could their parents curse them with such a life?” He felt angry toward Bella and Louis. “Sickening. Truly sickening.”As much as he wanted to teach them a lesson, he could only swallow his emotions right now.He then got up and walked toward the building.The dog woke up and brought the tennis ball to him with its mouth and dropped it before him when he wa

Benjamin came to Rebecca’s room. The door was open because she was in the gym.He entered the room. Her dress and towel were on the bed. The green dress caught his eyes. He touched it, and it was very soft and smooth.“What are you doing?” a voice reached his ears, skipping his heart for a second.Benjamin dropped the dress and turned back, only to see Rebecca who was wearing a baggy shirt and track pants. “I-I was checking this dress. It has a nice gradient of green to it. It reminds me of aloe vera plant.”“So you have eyes, huh,” Rebecca picked up the dress. “I did indeed design this after the aloe vera plant. It’s lighter at the top and darker as you go near the bottom. I could add more colors to make this stand out, but I don’t like wearing overly flamboyant designs. Too many colors on my clothes make me feel like I’m some rainbow asking for attention.”Benjamin smiled but said nothing.She felt a little awkward because he said nothing after she had spoken many words. “Anyway, yo

After Rebecca came out of the bathroom, she saw that Benjamin was sitting on the couch, seemingly meditating with his eyes closed.When Rebecca wasn’t looking, he opened one eye and looked at her, as if waiting to see her reaction. (Didn’t she see anything in the bathroom? Why isn’t she saying anything? Don’t tell me… she saw nothing?!)“Mm?” Rebecca quickly turned her head to look at him, and his eyes were closed. “Are you really coming to the party with those jogger pants? Do you want everyone to laugh at us? Wear some jeans at the least.”“I don’t have anything else other than these,” Benjamin pitifully said.“You should have told me that sooner, and I would have taken you shopping.”Benjamin’s eyes lit up. “Can we go now? Shopping, I mean.” “We don’t have time for that,” she said. “Why don’t you go and ask my brothers for their clothes?”“They are taller and bigger than me,” he replied. “Their clothes don’t fit me well.”“I’m sure they have clothes from their younger days stored

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

“Haha, did Veronica’s husband really go back to his country?” Fiona laughed excitedly as she privately talked with her daughter Riley in a guest room. “I didn’t think things would happen so smoothly. Now, we just need to introduce one of our rich allies to Veronica, and the rest will take care of itself. I should also deal with Rebecca’s husband, too.”“Mom, I need to tell you something,” Riley said.“Go on,” Fiona was eating sweet bread which Delle had made.“I…” Riley hesitantly said. “I think I’m in love with Benjamin.”Fiona choked on her bread.Riley quickly gave water.It was only after drinking the water, Fiona was able to breathe again. She took a few deep breaths and looked at her daughter in shock. “Are you fucking kidding me? You have a wedding soon, and you’re saying you fell in love with Rebecca’s husband? A pizza-delivery guy?”“No, mom. Rebecca’s husband is Benyamin, the guy with the wolf haircut, but the one I fell in love with is Benjamin,” Riley clarified, “the guy w

“It’s obvious that your sister has come here with a goal,” Selena was talking to Jacob in his room. “Fiona is a snake through and through. We can’t let her stay here for long, or she’ll cause our family to split up. If we give our daughters to the billionaires she refers to, then they will try to have control over our family. You do realize that, don’t you?”“So you want me to send my sister and her family away when they came to our house after so many years?” Jacob asked her back in an annoyed voice.“Yeah. You can’t hesitate with a snake, or it will bite you when you’re most vulnerable,” Selena added. “If you don’t send her away, she will stick in this house for a while and make a mess out of our family.”Jacob thought about it. “I can’t do it myself, but I know someone who can.”“Who?” Selena curiously asked.“Your eldest daughter,” Jacob smiled.“Rebecca?” Selena was surprised for a second. “I see. If Fiona confronts Rebecca about her marriage, then Rebecca wouldn’t just watch. If

“How are things with your family, brother?” Fiona asked.Selena raised an eyebrow. “You’re in a family that deals with real-estate, so you should already know how we’re doing.”“Haha, I do, but outside information can only be trusted so much,” Fiona responded. “Recently, we’ve worked hard on getting a marriage deal for Riley. Her fiance owns a reputed sports agency that deals with covering all the popular international sports. He earns hundreds of millions every year, but his father is a tycoon in the alcohol industry. Their net worth is in tens of billions.”“Good for you and your daughter,” Jacob smiled.“By the way, Brother,” Fiona glanced at Veronica and Akash. “What does Veronica’s husband do?”Jacob’s expression slightly changed.Veronica frowned and looked at her mother who was looking back at her with a rather poker face.“He is staying at home for now,” Veronica said openly.“Pfft, he’s jobless?” Riley snorted. “Your taste is so bad, Veronica, not just in terms of finding a pa
CHAPTER 901
Benjamin went to the first floor and waited in the hall until Rebecca left her room.Then he went to her room. The door was locked, but he solidified his energy in the keyhole and opened the door.He entered the room quietly and saw the water bottle on the table next to her desk. It was half-full.Benjamin took out the vial and poured a drop of water into the bottle while saying ‘I love you, Rebecca.’He entered the bathroom and poured a couple of drops in the bathtub while once more uttering the three words ‘I love you, Rebecca.”He was about to come out of the room, but then he stopped and then ended up leaking another drop of water on the pillow, and another on the blanket. “I love you, Rebecca.”“Hopefully, this will help,” he thought.Benjamin then hurriedly left the room and then went to the rooftop. He mixed a few more drops in each of the four water tanks, while saying the words out, “I love you, Rebecca.”He looked at the vial.Three fourths of it was finished.He put the via

Despite Uzza, Rye, and Benjamin living in separate rooms, there were many guest rooms still available in the mighty Sterling villa, the best property on Rachel Hill.So, the families of Jacob’s siblings stayed in those rooms without any issue.But the problem was with the cousins, who were trying to show off. They acted arrogant and haughty with Veronica and even mocked Rebecca for the little hair she had on her head, not even bothering to wonder why exactly her hair was like that.Rebecca didn’t even bother talking to them, or sparing a word with them because she knew how selfish and self-centered these people were.Jacob and Shawn might have forgiven these people, but Rebecca couldn’t just act like nothing ever happened.She didn’t treat them badly, either. She just ignored them and minded her business.However, her cousin sisters got their eyes on Benyamin who was quite good-looking. Her cousin brothers were also unable to avert their eyes from Rye.Rye looked more like an exotic f
CHAPTER 899
So many people started visiting Sterling villa ever since Selena herself had leaked the news of her buying a lot of land and buildings in Aurora Hills.Selena was sitting on the balcony, with Veronica next to her.“Why has the traffic increased so much?” Veronica said, “I’m seeing so many cars come and go recently.”Selena somewhat smiled and sipped on cream coffee. “I wasn’t born rich, Veronica. My relatives didn’t even let my parents into their homes or invite us to their functions because we were poor as church mice.”“Stop joking, Mom,” Veronica smirked with amusement. “You look like a million dollars. I’m sure our relatives’ sons back then would have wanted to marry you.”“You’re not entirely wrong, but they didn’t want to marry me as much as they wanted to mess with me,” Selena said. “I still remember one guy telling me, ‘I may look ugly as hell, but I can show you heaven in bed.’”Veronica went silent in shock. She didn’t think her mother’s beauty would have brought such terrib

Delle was bringing food, three varieties, on a big plate.Rye intercepted and took the plate from her. She brought it to Benjamin and sat by him under the tree.The grass was cool, even though the breeze was warm.“You think I haven’t noticed that you weren’t eating anything since you made that 40-day promise?” Rye said. “You were just acting like you’re eating.”She broke the bread mixed with fruit and brought it closer to his mouth.He didn’t open his mouth.“Do you want me to stop eating just like you are doing?” Rye said.Benjamin, who was staring into the distance, glanced at her. “Is it possible to love and hate at the same time?”Rye pursed her lips together, not quite understanding why he asked such a question. “I was angry with the things you did. I am still angry, but I don’t hate you. So, if you really love someone, I don’t think you can hate them.”“If there is no hatred in his heart, then how is Neel able to do this to me?” Benjamin asked, a hint of pain laced through his
CHAPTER 897
Rebecca and Benyamin had breakfast together.This nearly made Selena’s eyes bleed. She didn’t think she’d live a day like this.Watching them eating happily was like injecting poison into her body.While she loved seeing her daughter happy, she couldn’t spare any mercy on the man who tricked her daughter into marrying him.Even now, she was thinking in her heart, devising plans on how to separate her daughter and her husband.Having lost the mood to eat breakfast, she came to the backyard.Amber was preparing the background setting needed for the interview.“Where’s Kathy?” Selena asked.“S-She’s with Samuel Sehla, ma’am,” Amber hesitantly said.Selena’s gaze turned a little icy, but then she smiled. “I knew Kathy had it in her, but I didn’t think she’d be able to grab the attention of someone like Samuel Sehla.” She looked at Amber. “What about you?”“I-I don’t plan on grabbing anybody’s attention,” Amber quickly replied.“Tsk, tsk,” Selena shook her head. “Try to grab Benyamin’s att
