Rebecca came straight to the nearest hospital from their villa, expecting that Sheron was admitted there.And she was correct.However, Sheron wasn’t even taken into the ICU as the doctor had declared her dead. They tried CPR on her, but it didn’t work.As a result, Sheron’s body was on the stretcher now, with Devon crying over her. When Rebecca arrived there, the nurses were telling Devon to take his wife away.Rebecca rebuked them, saying, “Can’t you at least wait until he catches his breath? Are you nurses or monsters?”Rebecca's rich attire and richer beauty made it rather obvious that she was from some rich family, so the nurses didn’t raise their voices against her, even though they were definitely annoyed by her arrogance. After all, she was scolding the nurses in their hospital, which wasn’t something anybody would do and get away with.Devon saw Rebecca and stood. “Madam…” he didn’t expect Rebecca of all people to come.“I’m sorry for your loss, Devon,” she said and looked a
Benjamin was working late that night, delivering pizzas to party-goers between eleven and twelve o’clock.Some didn’t give him tips at all, but some gave him generously, so overall, it wasn’t a bad day in terms of earnings. He had to work more hours than usual, and he earned more than he usually did, too.After finishing the work, he was coming home in a bus.There was only Benjamin, a woman, and the driver in the bus.The woman seemed to be in her mid thirties, and she couldn’t take her eyes off of Benjamin. After some time, she ended up coming over and sitting next to him, but there was a gap between those two seats, where people could walk.“You look stunning,” she said. “Honestly, I’ve never seen a man with more pleasant features. Where have you been all this while?”Benjamin smiled and shook his head before showing her his wedding ring.“Oh, I’m married, too, but we can, you know, smash if you want to,” she said, biting her lower lip. “Make this the greatest night of my life.”“D
Benjamin could have heard what the mother and daughter were talking about on the balcony, but he chose not to, as they could be talking about some personal matters.So, he just smiled at them and waved his hand at both of them.However, neither of them waved back.He waved once more.Rebecca was looking at him, but she did not wave back.“Why has she become cold again? I thought things were going well between us,” Benjamin thought, still smiling. “It’s really hard to keep smiling even when things aren’t going your way.”He walked over and stopped under the balcony and took something out of his pocket. “Rebecca, catch this.”“What is it?” she asked.“Just catch it,” Benjamin threw it up.Rebecca reluctantly caught it with one hand. It was a small purse.Selean kept staring at her daughter’s hand without even blinking. “Open it. Let’s see what’s inside.”Rebecca had no idea what was inside the bag, so she wasn’t sure if she should open the purse in front of her mother or not.“Mom, it’
After putting that one dog in the cage, Benjamin went into the building.“Give me the money you earned,” Selena quickly said.“Didn’t you see the gift I bought for your daughter?” Benjamin asked her.“What gift?” Selena asked.“You should ask her, not me,” Benjamin replied. “I spent all my money on buying that item, so I don’t have any money right now.” Saying that he went upstairs.He had to knock a few times before Rebecca opened the door. She let him inside and then locked the door once again.She raised the perfume bottle in her hand. “Did I ask you to buy it?”“It’s a natural perfume,” he told her. “It smelled good, so I bought it even though it’s worth 125 dollars.”“125 dollars for this little perfume bottle? There’s only 20 ml inside,” Rebecca blurted. “Whoever sold this to you, they ripped you off.”“Did you check the smell?” he asked her.“No.”“Then do it.”Rebecca paused for a second and then spread a little bit of it on her sleeve. And straight away, she felt a strong sce
The next morning.Rebecca woke up, only to see Lisa’s face up close, and it almost brought her a heart attack because she was wearing a halloween mask. “AHH!” she screamed.“Haha, it’s me, Aunt!” Lisa removed the mask and giggled.“Lisa!” Rebecca caught her eyes. “Are you trying to stop my heart from beating with your stupid ideas?”“Aunt, it’s my birthday today!” Lisa quickly said.Rebecca then had to let go of her ear. “So what? Just because it’s your birthday, it doesn’t give you the right to do stupid things. Don’t ever do something like this again. What if I end up hitting you out of reflex? You’d lose a few teeth!”“My teeth are strong!” Lisa said. “But if my teeth do break, then I’ll insert some gold teeth like grandma.”Rebecca shook her head first, and then she shook Lisa’s hand. “Have a great day.”“Huh? That’s it? Aren’t you going to wish me properly?” Lisa asked. “I came running straight to your room after waking up, you know. I didn’t even go to my mom and dad. “That’s b
Benjamin came rushing out of the villa as Rebecca was waiting for him by her car.“What took you so long?” she asked.“Can you smell it?” he asked.“Smell what?”“Love,” he said. Seeing her expression warp, he chuckled and said, “The perfume, I mean. You said you aren’t going to use it, so I did. You don’t feel bad about this, right?”“Why would I?” Rebecca rolled her eyes. “Get inside. The sun is burning me.”“Morning sun is good for health, Love,” he said, getting in the car. “It helps reset the circadian rhythm and makes you sleep better at night. I didn't sleep last night, so I feel all dizzy and crazy right now.”“Is that why you’re talking so fast right now?”“Yeah, you can say that. By the way, Lisa said she and her family are going to the beach tomorrow. Why don’t we also go with them and have fun?” Benjamin suggested. “If you’re worried about the sun, then we can take an umbrella, or I will apply oil all over your body.”“Hmph,” she said indifferently, “If you want, you can g
Later that day.The party has already started at the Sterling villa. Selena did not let a single reporter inside, and the security worked well. They kept all the unnecessary people out, and only those with invitation cards were allowed inside. Even then, a double-check was performed by Jacob and Selena as they didn’t want troublesome people to come and ruin the party.At some point, Benjamin arrived there in a taxi.The security guards recognized him, but Selena had specifically told them to keep Benjamin outside and make him wait.When Benjamin tried to enter, the guards stopped him. These security guards worked for Selena, and they knew about him, so why were they acting like this?“What’s the meaning of this?” Benjamin asked them.“We are told to only let those with invitation cards inside,” one of the guards said. “Do you have an invitation card?”“Yeah,” Benjamin replied.“You do? I don’t think so. Show it, or I will not believe it,” the guard asked, standing firmly like he was t
“You work in this house, but that doesn’t mean you can just bring gifts and think we’ll accept them,” Selena blurted. “Take that pizza. Go somewhere else and eat it.”Some people laughed after hearing her words.“Don’t mind him, guys,” Elizabeth added. “He’s the type who takes his girlfriend to a fast food restaurant on their first date. He’s not that bright in the head.”Her words made the people laugh some more.There were at least fifty people watching, and Benjamin walked over to Rebecca and picked up the bag and opened the box right before her.Inside, there was a beautiful pizza with Lisa’s name and age written on it. It looked like so much effort went into making that pizza.“Want a slice?” Benjamin tried to give her the knife.“No, I don’t like fast food,” Rebecca said. “You can take it away.”Benjamin then walked away and went to the balcony upstairs, where he began to eat the pizza on his own.At the same time, he could hear the people talking downstairs, giving all kinds of
