The next morning.The day of the election results had come, and Selena sat glued to the screen. She was already very nervous because she wasn’t sure if Hudson would win over Andrew or not.In just an hour after the counting started, Selena’s hopes began to evaporate because Andrew was also getting a massive lead with every round.Still, she watched the television, hoping that the tide would change, but with every passing hour, her hopes got squashed.By afternoon, it became obvious that Andrew Sehla was going to win.Selena got so shocked and choked by the result that she had to quickly go to her room. She checked her mobile, which had a short text message from Victoria: Sorry. We lost.“Just a sorry?” Selena threw her mobile aside. “I lost hundreds of millions because of this. All because of her! And she’s saying a mere sorry?” She was so angry and frustrated she felt like pulling her own hair.Meanwhile, in the living hall.“She lost her bet,” Uzza amusedly smiled. “It seems she bet
Andrew defeated Hudson by a whopping nine percentage voting difference. It was a landslide victory.Every newschannel was talking about Andrew and the elections. Samuel Sehla and Kismet Sehla also earned quite some fame for their relentless electoral campaigning, which took Andrew’s voice to all the corners of the country.Andrew did not talk anything about the Sterling family, but Kismet did.It wasn’t Kismet but someone who was wearing her mask, but the script was given to her by Kismet herself.Kismet targeted Selena, Jacob, and Rebecca because she knew that these three were the main pillars of the family. Shawn was also capable, but Kismet didn’t put him in her eyes.Kismet took digs at these three people and said how shameless and crooked the Sterling family members were and that God would punish them for the allegations they made on Andrew and the Sehla family overall.Meanwhile, the Myers family members were throwing a big party to celebrate the victory of Andrew Sehla.Andrew
By the time the night had fallen, the country was celebrating the success of Andrew Sehla.However, Selena cried silent tears in her room. She hadn’t cried so much in a long time. And after many years, she once again tasted the saltiness of her tears because she had made such a big mistake, trusting someone she shouldn’t have.Selena had already researched the company she bet the money through, and though she didn’t find anything wrong with that company back then, right now, she found out that it was nothing but a fake company.However, She still didn’t think that it was a company built by Victoria Myers, and that Victoria was entirely behind everything.Either way, Selena couldn’t come out of her room just yet because she was so gripped by sorrow right now.Meanwhile, at the dining table.Rebecca was eating dinner. This was the first time she came out of the room after almost four weeks.Benjamin was also eating on the other side of the table, with Rye sitting next to him.Rye kept d
When Jim looked at her, Rebecca almost spilled her food out because she wasn’t expecting that. At least, she wasn’t expecting him to be so open about it.“Ms. Rebecca Sterling…” Jim said, “Will you go out on a date with me?”Rebecca stopped chewing.Rye could hear Benjamin’s heart picking up speed. She sent him a mental message to control himself.Rebecca swallowed the food and then said, “Jim… I’ll be frank. My family situation and my situation isn’t really good right now. So, I don’t think it’s the correct time for me to spend on dating.”Jim was disappointed to hear that, but Benjamin felt relieved.“Troubles are ever present in our lives,” Jim responded. “If not one trouble, another trouble will always be there. Didn’t that lady just say that we should get married at the right time and not waste our youth? I think the same way. My dad has always tried to get me married since I turned 20, but I wasn’t interested in it. Now, I changed my mind after seeing you because with you, ther
“I’m not gay…” Jim eventually managed to break the silence.“I never said you were,” Benjamin replied. “I’m just stating the possibility and am telling Rebecca to be careful because she’s a good friend of mine.”Rebecca was pleasantly surprised by those words. She didn’t remember anyone other than Jane calling her a friend in recent times.“I appreciate your concern for her, but I’m not a gay,” Jim maintained eye contact with Benjamin. “If I was a gay, I would have approached you secretly by now since you’re handsome. But I didn’t. Because I’m not gay. I don’t know how else to prove this.”“You don’t have to prove anything. You just said indirectly that you’re gay,” Benjamin said.“Huh? I didn’t say that,” Jim quickly retorted. “What are you talking about?”“No, you did.”“I didn’t.”Meanwhile, Rye pressed her foot on Benjamin’s foot, telling him to stop.“How can I prove to you that I’m not gay?” Jim asked him.“You don’t have to prove anything. I know what you are,” Benjamin retorte
The next morning.Rebecca came out of the building with her CV file in her hand. But to her surprise, her blue Porsche had become red now.“W-What the…” she touched it and understood that it was freshly painted. She looked around to see if anyone was around, and then eventually saw Benjamin on the balcony. “Did you do this?”“Yeah. Last night,” Benjamin said. “You said you liked the red color, so…”Rebecca didn’t know what to say. The red colored car looked much better in her eyes, but still, she wished he could have just asked her first before painting it. Then again, it looked like it was painted by a professional. So, she had nothing else to complain about. Nevertheless, she didn’t thank Benjamin and just entered the car and left.Rye approached Benjamin from behind. “It turned out to be a wasted effort. Did you really think that painting the car will bring her memories back? That’s not how it works.”“If you are so certain that her memories won’t return, then why are you telling
Later that afternoon.Rebecca returned home at around two o’clock, and she didn’t look happy because she was rejected by every company once more.Rebecca didn’t even have enough money to fill her car with petrol once again, and she didn’t want to ask others for money, either, especially her mother.However, Rebecca had no idea that Selena herself was going through very frustrating times because she had given money to some financiers and some friends so she could later get interests, but now, all those people were refusing to pay her back, giving her various kinds of excuses.At first she didn’t realize that something was amiss, but after one of those people warned her to be careful about the Sehla family, Selena pieced everything together. She even figured out that the Myers family was actually working for the Sehla family.And this truth made her almost slap herself because she realized how foolishly she trusted Victoria.When Selena came out of her room and was coming downstairs, sh
After almost a minute later, Rebecca blinked and quickly tried to stand.Benjamin also removed his hand from her vicinity.“T-Thank you…” Rebecca was about to take a step up onto the stairs, but then she slightly hissed in pain, as her ankle hurt.Benjamin immediately brought his arm behind her again. “I think you sprained your ankle. Come and sit on the couch. I’ll cure your pain.”“You know how to do it?” she asked.“Yeah,” Benjamin offered his hand.She hesitantly grabbed his hand, though only delicately, and he brought her to the couch and held her hand until she sat down.Benjamin carefully removed the sandals and then gently massaged her ankle and foot. Rebecca never uttered a hiss because he did it so perfectly.Generally, feet were very sensitive parts for humans, and Rebecca usually felt ticklish near her feet, but Benjamin applied just enough pressure to make her feel highly comfortable. She did not feel ticklish or painful.As he ran his fingers down her veins and then twis
