“What brought you here, brat? Did you finally grow the balls to come and face me?” Rakir asked.“I’ve given my word to my dad that I won’t take my revenge on you,” Benjamin replied.“Huh, you people who call yourselves the followers of the Most High are all so dull and boring. I’m responsible for your mother’s death, and you say you don’t want to take revenge on me?” Rakir asked. “I’d say that’s bullshit. I’m sure your blood is boiling just as you are looking at your mother’s killer. Well, I didn’t put my dagger in her heart directly, but I am responsible for her death. She was messing with our business way too much. She wasn’t careful unlike her husband, I mean, your dad.”Benjamin frowned.“You may be the mighty werewolves who have no weaknesses like us vampires, but you’re not all powerful,” Rakir continued talking. “You don’t have the strength to fight forever, though I did hear some stories of previous sovereigns fighting for many weeks straight. I don’t trust that nonsense becau

“They went in without your, Lord Rakir,” Alexia poured blood wine in a glass and gave it to him. “Do you think they will ever get out? I mean, they are strong, but the labyrinth beneath this castle is so big that anybody can get lost in it.”Rakir smiled. “If that guy really gets out, then he’s capable of breaking this continent itself into pieces.”Alexia’s eyes widened. “H-He’s that strong?”“He’s not just strong, idiot,” Rakir sipped on the blood, and it helped ease his nerves. “He’s the strongest being on the earth that has a flesh form. In the long past, there were the sons and daughters of the fallen angels who were called the heroes of their times, and there were also giants who were thousands of meters tall. Maybe, they would have been as freakishly strong or even stronger than Benjamin. But even those heroes of the past were nothing in front of the great ones who were the ones who taught humanity everything, from how to make a weapon to how to put on makeup. Their knowledge a

“Are you crazy?” Ulmer barked. “How could you just agree without even knowing what they’ll demand?”“As long as it doesn’t go against my conscience, I will try my best to finish it,” Benjamin replied. “But in return, undo the spell you put on Rebecca and everyone else.”“Unfortunately, we can’t magically undo what we did,” Azazel replied. “What do you say, Armaros?” he looked at another fallen angel.“Indeed, the enchantment that Semjaza used is quite a powerful one that disrupts not just the flow of time but the sense of the mind itself,” Armaros stated. “I’m afraid even I don’t know how to fully resolve it. After all, while we used to be in heaven, we didn’t know all the secrets there were. What we know is very little compared to what’s up there.”Benjamin clenched his fists. “If you can’t fully resolve it, can you at least weaken the spell?”“That, we can do,” Armarso said in a bit of a happy tone.“Hey, Benjamin,” Ulmer quickly intervened. “Do you really believe their words? They

“If you can’t do the one thing we want, then get out of our sight, you miserable thing,” Azazel’s words pierced Benjamin’s heart and soul deeper than any sword ever could. “And forget about your wife. She’s never going to remember you.”Benjamin suddenly loosened his fists and slowly kneeled and lowered his head onto the cold black rock before him. Closing his eyes, he prayed in his heart.“What are you doing?” Armaros snorted. “You think your voice will be heard just because you get on your knees and cry in your mind? That’s not how it works. Your voice will only be heard when its cry is strong enough to knock on the doors of heaven. Otherwise, He wouldn’t act.”Time passed.Seconds added into minutes.Minutes turned into hours and days. The fallen angels have mostly left, and only a handful of them were still at the table, chatting among themselves and not at all caring about Benjamin being there.Almost 40 hours later, Benjamin was still in the same position. His tears had made a th

The previous day.At the Sterling villa, the anniversary of Jacob and Selena was taking place in a grand manner, with many big people from the movie industry visiting their place.While everyone in the house looked happy, Rebecca as usually did not have a smile on her face when greeting the guests. The only good thing happening according to her was that Veronica was coming back home with her husband, just to personally greet Jacob and Selena.Rebecca could hear the guests praising both Jacob and Selena for staying together for so long and that they were setting a great example for the current generation.“Hmph,” Rebecca only felt annoyed by their words and thought, “They only stayed in the same house. They have long stopped living together. It’s been more than a decade and half since they started sleeping in different rooms. So, this whole anniversary feels like a joke. But I know why they’re having this function. It’s to show off to others that they still have not become irrelevant i

Jane expected Jim to get upset, but to add to her confusion, Jim smiled and said, “That’s actually good. You should avoid ice cream as much as possible. They are not healthy, right? I don’t eat them, too, but every now and then, I grab one of these things.”Jane couldn’t believe what he was seeing. “This guy… he’s another health freak like her!” she thought. “Looking at his big frame and that perfect shape… he’s also definitely a gym freak! No wonder he’s not offended by her blatant refusal to eat the ice cream he offered. Or is his acting skill so good that I’m not able to see through it?” As she wondered, Jim offered both the ice creams to her.“You must be her friend,” Jim said. “Can you please take these two?”Jane raised her eyebrows. “You mean, it’s fine if I eat these two ice creams and get fat?”“Ha-ha,” Jim awkwardly laughed. “I didn’t mean that.”“Hmph, whatever,” Jane snatched both the ice creams. “You both owe me one. Don’t forget that.” She purposely walked away from the

Jim believed that this was the first small step to success. “I’ve never given flowers to anyone else before other than my mother,” Jim said because Rebecca was staring at him without saying anything. “So please accept this.”“If I accept this, will you take out a ring next?” Rebecca asked.“No, not anytime soon,” Jim assured her.Rebecca then took the rose.Rye captured that on her mobile and felt excited. “I can’t wait to show this picture to Benjamin. I wonder how he’ll react.”“He’ll obviously be heart broken, thinking she accepted his love or something,” Uzza said. “Are you trying to trick him by showing this picture?”“I will just show him this picture. He’s free to imagine whatever he wants from seeing this picture,” Rye retorted.Jim, on the other hand, also felt quite excited that Rebecca had taken the rose. “You didn’t eat the ice cream, so let me bring you something else. Do you prefer anything?”“Any sweet fruit would do,” Rebecca said. She was now willing to entertain him a

Kathy and Amber were wearing their beautiful maid outfits and were pouring drinks from the wine carafes.It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that some men finished the wine in their glasses so that they could have these gorgeous maids to refresh their drinks. And who knew how many of them wanted to taste those feminine charms of these young maids? When Kathy especially poured wine by tilting toward them, allowing her dress to gap just enough to give an enticing view of her cleavage, the young and old men alike felt like loins tightening. They couldn’t tell if Kathy was doing it on purpose or not, and they couldn’t be blamed because Kathy was such a master at it.Kathy had been playing the bed sport with Jacob for a long time now, so playing these little games with other men and seeing their reactions gave her a thrill. This excited her more than compared to the regular waiting at the table for the Sterling family members.There were a few men who gave her devouring looks and lascivi
