“My smile will shine in you,my voice will sing in you,and my love will live in youIf only you would give me a chance to be with you…”Roshan laughed with mixed emotions after reading what Benjamin wrote. “This sounds cringey. Do you think this will help me attract her attention?”“It depends on her taste and mood,” Benjamin replied. “Give it to her when she’s in a good mood. Also, make sure you write it in your own handwriting.”“Write what?” Rebecca entered the backyard and plucked the paper out of Roshan’s hands.“A-Aunt, I don’t know anything about it!” Roshan said and quickly ran away.Rebecca read the words written on the page and then looked at Benjamin. “What are you thinking, giving this to a fourteen year old?”“In a few days, he’ll be fifteen.”Rebecca’s jaw hardened. “That’s not the point. He’s too young to be dating.”“I don’t think it’s wrong to express his love for a girl in words,” Benjamin said. “Even if he’s seven, he can write a love letter to another seven year o
Rebecca went into her room, sat down on the bed.After a few seconds, she took out a paper from her pocket and read the words, “My love will live in you, huh… If only something like that is possible…”She had always heard that her parents used to be in great love when they were young, but now, they were living in separate rooms, and she didn’t even remember them laughing together.“Love before marriage may be sweet, but after marriage, it gradually turns sour… That’s the reality of all marriages. That’s why I tried so hard to find the right man who wouldn’t easily turn sour despite not liking what I do. I couldn’t find any, and I ended up marrying Benyamin. Unfortunately, he didn’t live long. Now, I feel burdened to marry again. I know marriage sucks, but being alone sucks even more. With marriage, I can at least have children and a family. But if I’m alone, what’s the point of living and earning?”She put the paper under her pillow.Because Rebecca’s memories were also altered, she w
Roshan walked a mile before he finally changed his mind and apologized to his sister. Only then, Benjamin let him enter the car.Roshan still looked upset and did not talk with Benjamin.Benjamin understood that the reason Roshan apologized wasn’t because he felt like it, but it was because he didn’t want his friends to see him walking to school.Benjamin eventually dropped Lisa and Roshan about a hundred meters away from the school gate and told them to walk the rest of the distance. Lisa didn’t have a problem with that, but Roshan did. He looked grumpy about it, but that didn’t change Benjamin’s mind.Benjamin just watched them until they entered the school. “Handling kids sure isn’t easy… You have to do it carefully without offending them. I think Roshan is offended, but it’s not to the point he will let it get to his head.”He then drove back to the villa.Elizabeth also just came home, but she looked very mad. She went straight to Selena’s room and asked her, “They kicked me out
After the election results, the news about Selena debt fraud was telecasted a lot on the television, and a lot of people began to call her and ask her what happened.Selena had to repeatedly tell them that it was fake news. And it was so frustrating. She had already called her lawyer and told her to deal with this. They filed multiple cases on the guy who claimed that Selena owed him money. They also filed a defamation case, demanding 200 million dollars. All this happened in a matter of a couple of hours.During that afternoon.Rebecca came downstairs to eat. She could hear the discussion Elizabeth and her mother were having a talk about Selena.“This case looks like it’s going to become something big,” Dorothy was warning her daughter. “I think you should just go and live in your own house for the time being. When things settle, you can then come back.”“But mom…” Elizabeth was saying.“Listen to me. If you’re here, and then your husband and his mom ask you to give up on your house
After lunch, Rye quickly went upstairs and checked her notebook for someone’s mobile number and then called them. “Hello, is this Nora Lynn?”“Yes, who is this I’m talking to?” an old lady’s voice came from the other side.“I’m the one who helped you get the car for your granddaughter,” Rye said. “Do you remember me?”“O-Of course, how can I forget you, Lady?” she quickly said. “My granddaughter loved that car. It’s the safest car in the world, she says. I’ve tried to contact you after that day, but I couldn’t find anything about you. I’m so happy that you finally called. Please tell me, what can I do for you?”“Um, I want that car for a couple of days,” Rye hesitantly said. “Is it possible?”“Why are you asking? Just tell me, and I’ll have the car brought to you in minutes,” Nora stated. “You can keep it with you as long as you want. Tell me, where should I bring the car?”“The Sterling villa,” Rye said.“Got it. The car will be there soon.”“Thanks.”“No need to mention. I hope I’ll
Benjamin left the villa in the red Porsche.Rebecca was watching it from her room’s window. “I haven’t given my car to any man before. It feels strange that some other man is driving my car.”She did tell the family driver Anous to fill the gas in her car a few times in the past, but she didn’t count that right now.Moments later, a new car entered through the gate. “That car…” she was surprised to see a red sports car, but compared to Rebecca’s car, this was much more stylish and had a mix of an old as well as modern look.The car stopped, and a stunning beautiful young lady stepped out of the car. It was Kyra Lynn. Rebecca recognized her because she had attended this woman’s wedding a few months back.“What’s she doing here?” Rebecca wondered.As far as she could think, Kyra should not have any business with her family. The Lynn family was one of the wealthiest families in the world with trillions of dollars of wealth under their belt. What would a member of such a family have to d
Kyra only thought of talking with Selena for a few minutes, but she ended up talking for hours because Selena didn’t let her go.Selena wanted to use this opportunity to get something beneficial because her situation was not looking good, either. She didn’t directly tell Kyra about her situation but was expertly steering Kyra’s thoughts into helping her.At around three o’clock in the afternoon.Benjamin entered the Benz car of Elizabeth even though he wanted to sit next to Rebecca in her car.As he saw Rebecca sit in her Porsche car, Benjamin wanted to slap himself. “Why did you fill her car with gas if you wanted her to be with you? You’re such a helpless fool.”As Benjamin and Rebecca left in their cars, Rye was just watching from the first floor.“Are you not going to go?” Uzza asked her.“They are going in different cars,” Rye said. “So, I don’t really see the reason why I should go as well.”“What if they stop at a restaurant along the way?” Uzza said.Rye’s heart shook for a se
It was a silver Benz A-class limousine worth over 60,000 dollars. It was nothing special compared to Tracy’s McLaren which was worth over 330,000 dollars.Tracy and her friends didn’t even know that this Benz car belonged to Roshan’s family. However, it wasn’t the car that caught their attention, but the man that stepped out of the car.He was wearing a classy black cotton shirt and cream-colored pants, both of which were ironed to the T. The smart and casual clothing enhanced his look. His clothing neatly fit his body, leaving his skin just enough room to breathe.“H-How fair and handsome he is…” some school girls clutched their cheeks in pleasant surprise.Tracy’s mouth widened as Benjamin was coming in their direction.Rebecca’s car stopped in the distance, but she didn’t step out and just watched.“Mr. Benjamin…” Lisa quickly scuttled forth and hugged him.“EH?” Tracy and her friends and some other students were shocked to see that.Rebecca’s mouth also widened now. “This little t
