Rye wondered why Uzza called her, but to her shock, Uzza was eating plum fruits in a round red hat. Uzza only wanted to share plum fruits with her.Rye could only smile and eat together with her. They did grow these fruits on Sciocidad, but this was her first time eating the ones grown in the outer world.“How are they?” Uzza asked.“They are not bad,” Rye said. “But the ones we grow back at home are like juicy little apples.”“Yeah, everything we can find here is like a degraded version,” Uzza sighed. “Even the people are…” she could hear Selena talking with someone on mobile and was talking about Jacob and his drug-related issue. “You’ve lived outside for many months, so what did you understand?”“Mm? Well, at our home, we only need to grow trees and plants to live,” Rye opined, “but in this world… people need at least one of the four things.”“What are those four things?” Uzza curiously asked.“Money, looks, intelligence, or education,” Rye said. “If you don’t have at least one of

If it was anyone else that had asked for his hand for a dance, Benjamin wouldn’t even have thought about it. But the one asking now was Rye, the woman he had spent the most time with up to this point in his life.“Haven’t you two danced together already when you were young?” Uzza said, trying to break the ice between them. “Why are you thinking so much now, Benjamin? Just grab her hand and craft a step or two. Trust me, first love is the best. There’s no better feeling than dancing with your first love.”“I don’t just want to stop at being just his first love,” Rye said without hesitation. “I want to be his last love also.” She smiled through her eyes and reached out for Benjamin’s hand and grabbed it. “If you are not going to hold my hand, I will hold yours.”Benjamin pursed his lips. “R-Rye…”Before he could say another word, Rye put her finger on his mouth. “Shh, don’t act like I’m asking you to sleep with me. It’s just a dance. Don’t make a big deal over it.”After she removed her

“I’ve also just checked an e-copy of your marriage certificate. It turns out that the name there isn’t yours. It’s called Benyamin Wilde. So, in this present messed-up timeline, you were never Rebecca’s husband. Not even for a second. You didn’t even get married yet, so…” she brought her lips closer to his cheek. “Wouldn’t it be totally fine if we kiss each other right here and now?” Rye’s words skipped Benjamin’s heartbeat. He turned his head away to his left.Rye didn’t like that, but she didn’t get upset about it as she was just teasing him.“I know I’m being a little rude, this is reality, Benny,” Rye added. “You never married anyone in this reality yet. So, why don’t you just let things go and head back home?”“I would still like to live in this villa,” Benjamin replied softly.“Benjamin, you are like thunder,” Uzza intervened. “Rye is like lightning. If you get together, your kids are going to be like thunderbolts. How was my poetry?”“Very mediocre,” Rye commented frankly whil

In the later afternoon, the aroma of cappuccino filled the room, and one could see the rainbow through the glass wall, as it was mildly raining outside. The winds were crashing into the trees and disrupted the leaves and made a mess out of them, but it was a beautiful sight to watch for both Jane and Rebecca who were sitting in the comfort of their room.Jane was in a good mood because the song she was playing on her mobile, and the atmosphere outside only added to it.“I think it was in a setting like this… I used to have a big crush on my neighbor,” Jane said. “He would come out in the rain and break the logs wearing a tank top. I used to drool at him. Sometimes I would wear a camisole and go out, hoping he’d see me the same, but he considered me just as a little girl, I think.”“How old were you back then?” Rebecca couldn’t help but ask. “Don’t tell me you were underage.”“Haha,” Jane’s mouth curved into a smile, but she didn’t reveal her age. “The weirdest thing is that I don’t ev

Uzza was reading a newspaper in the bathroom. She saw a company named Breeka, which sold many skincare products from sunscreens to baby powders.“How is such a company making nearly a hundred billion in revenue?” she wondered. “Something is suspicious.”She put the newspaper aside, then grabbed her mobile and researched about the company and found out some disturbing truth.“So, they mix ingredients like Benzene in their skincare products, which cause blood cancer, and one of the affiliated companies treats leukemia and earns billions every year. That’s not strange at all. These people are money-hungry vampires. Why can’t the people see through this? Then again, I know the answer. They are too busy with their own lives. They don’t have time to look around, and they’re paying the price for it by paying for products that are harmful to them. It’s not just the skincare products, but most companies that have ties to the pharma industry have been doing this for a very long time.“We’ll hav

Later that night.Jane ended up sleeping in Rebecca's room, on her bed, and Rebecca was not at all used to someone sleeping in her room. On top of that, Jane had the habit of putting one leg or hand on top of another person. All this didn’t let Rebecca get any sleep.At around twelve in the night, Rebecca came out to the balcony. It was pretty cold, with the wind blowing roughly. “Mm?” She noticed someone in the garden. It was a Red-haired woman whose hair was whipping about in the air. She looked like a standing lioness of sorts. Even though Rebecca couldn’t see the face, she could tell it was Rye. “What is she doing alone at this hour?”Rye, who was talking with a man in a black cloak, also noticed Rebecca’s presence. “You should leave.”In the blink of an eye, the man turned into a blur and disappeared. In that darkness of the night, Rebecca couldn’t even see that man.Rye then turned around and looked straight toward Rebecca and waved her hand, showing a big smile.Rebecca waved h

There was absolute silence for the next three to five seconds. It was as if a silence bomb had been dropped on Rebecca’s head, and she just didn’t know how to react. She wasn’t even sure if she heard it correctly.Did he just say I Love You to her?Does that make any sense?What was he even thinking?Was he drunk?Or was he trying to date another girl right now?All these thoughts rushed in her mind, making her feel crazy.“I love you, too,” Just then, Rye’s voice reached Rebecca’s ears. Suddenly, Rebecca’s expression changed after seeing Rye in the garden.So, Benjamin said ‘I love you’ to Rye and not her? She felt like slapping herself on the back of the head for thinking Benjamin was proposing to her. She felt so stupid right now.At that same time, Rye was looking at Benjamin, and he was also looking back at her, exchanging mental messages.“I covered your ass just now,” Rye said, “and said I love you, too, even though I knew you didn’t direct that I love you toward me. You owe me

Despite how strong Rye might seem on the surface, her heart was still soft in the matters of love. She wasn’t sure if she could keep doing this for long when Benjamin was not willing to love her again.Ever since coming to this Sterling villa, she was filling herself with all the strength she could every single morning not from sunlight but by the hope of the love she once experienced, but now that she was feeling deprived of that same love, she kept trying every she could.Of course, she could easily harm the Sterling family for what they did to Benjamin, but that wouldn’t be to Benjamin’s liking. Destroying wasn’t the right choice. But if love wasn’t working, how else was she supposed to approach this problem and arrive at a solution?Rye felt very restricted in the things she could do because she felt tied by the very same love which kept her in the hunt for Benjamin to this day. She wanted to get him to her side no matter what, but how? How could she do it in a way that would chan
