“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

Rye told Uzza to enter the villa and take care of any issues that might spring up during the conversation between Andrew Sehla and Selena Sterling.Uzza sat right next to Selena and Jacob on the couch, which gave them a lot of confidence and helped them not feel intimidated by the fact that they were in front of the president.Andrew sat with one leg on top of another. His body language suggested that he was confident. And so did his two bodyguards who were standing behind him.Kathy and Amber used their beauty to try and distract the president and the guards as much as possible, but neither of those three were even batting an eyelid before them.“What the hell is wrong with these people?” Kathy hissed under her breath. “Are these guys eunuchs or what?”“Maybe your seduction skills are not as great as you thought?” Amber talked to her.Kathy smiled and told her to shut up. She did not give up but stayed in the front so that she would fall in the men’s eyes.Selena started the conversa

Uzza’s statement was simple, but it made the security guards immediately point their guns toward her.Selena and Jacob felt their spines shivering from that. Even Kathy and Amber were not able to stand firmly on their feet.“Bury me next to my son?” Andrew narrowed his eyes, his sharp gaze focusing on Uzza. “Are you saying that my son is buried underground?”“Yeah, and he should rise tomorrow if everything goes right,” Uzza replied.Andrew was confused by her words, and so did others. “What nonsense are you talking about? If he’s buried, how is he going to rise again?”“It’s difficult to explain,” Uzza picked a bunch of roasted nuts and began to crunch on them. “So, why don’t I just make you experience it yourself?”“Kill her,” Andrew said.The guards were ready to shoot, but Uzza flicked her thumbs, and two roasted almonds flew and struck the foreheads of the guards and knocked them out of their senses before their fingers could even touch the trigger.Seeing the guards collapse, eve

“It’s obvious that your sister has come here with a goal,” Selena was talking to Jacob in his room. “Fiona is a snake through and through. We can’t let her stay here for long, or she’ll cause our family to split up. If we give our daughters to the billionaires she refers to, then they will try to have control over our family. You do realize that, don’t you?”“So you want me to send my sister and her family away when they came to our house after so many years?” Jacob asked her back in an annoyed voice.“Yeah. You can’t hesitate with a snake, or it will bite you when you’re most vulnerable,” Selena added. “If you don’t send her away, she will stick in this house for a while and make a mess out of our family.”Jacob thought about it. “I can’t do it myself, but I know someone who can.”“Who?” Selena curiously asked.“Your eldest daughter,” Jacob smiled.“Rebecca?” Selena was surprised for a second. “I see. If Fiona confronts Rebecca about her marriage, then Rebecca wouldn’t just watch. If

“How are things with your family, brother?” Fiona asked.Selena raised an eyebrow. “You’re in a family that deals with real-estate, so you should already know how we’re doing.”“Haha, I do, but outside information can only be trusted so much,” Fiona responded. “Recently, we’ve worked hard on getting a marriage deal for Riley. Her fiance owns a reputed sports agency that deals with covering all the popular international sports. He earns hundreds of millions every year, but his father is a tycoon in the alcohol industry. Their net worth is in tens of billions.”“Good for you and your daughter,” Jacob smiled.“By the way, Brother,” Fiona glanced at Veronica and Akash. “What does Veronica’s husband do?”Jacob’s expression slightly changed.Veronica frowned and looked at her mother who was looking back at her with a rather poker face.“He is staying at home for now,” Veronica said openly.“Pfft, he’s jobless?” Riley snorted. “Your taste is so bad, Veronica, not just in terms of finding a pa

Benjamin went to the first floor and waited in the hall until Rebecca left her room.Then he went to her room. The door was locked, but he solidified his energy in the keyhole and opened the door.He entered the room quietly and saw the water bottle on the table next to her desk. It was half-full.Benjamin took out the vial and poured a drop of water into the bottle while saying ‘I love you, Rebecca.’He entered the bathroom and poured a couple of drops in the bathtub while once more uttering the three words ‘I love you, Rebecca.”He was about to come out of the room, but then he stopped and then ended up leaking another drop of water on the pillow, and another on the blanket. “I love you, Rebecca.”“Hopefully, this will help,” he thought.Benjamin then hurriedly left the room and then went to the rooftop. He mixed a few more drops in each of the four water tanks, while saying the words out, “I love you, Rebecca.”He looked at the vial.Three fourths of it was finished.He put the via

CHAPTER 900
Despite Uzza, Rye, and Benjamin living in separate rooms, there were many guest rooms still available in the mighty Sterling villa, the best property on Rachel Hill.So, the families of Jacob’s siblings stayed in those rooms without any issue.But the problem was with the cousins, who were trying to show off. They acted arrogant and haughty with Veronica and even mocked Rebecca for the little hair she had on her head, not even bothering to wonder why exactly her hair was like that.Rebecca didn’t even bother talking to them, or sparing a word with them because she knew how selfish and self-centered these people were.Jacob and Shawn might have forgiven these people, but Rebecca couldn’t just act like nothing ever happened.She didn’t treat them badly, either. She just ignored them and minded her business.However, her cousin sisters got their eyes on Benyamin who was quite good-looking. Her cousin brothers were also unable to avert their eyes from Rye.Rye looked more like an exotic f

CHAPTER 899
So many people started visiting Sterling villa ever since Selena herself had leaked the news of her buying a lot of land and buildings in Aurora Hills.Selena was sitting on the balcony, with Veronica next to her.“Why has the traffic increased so much?” Veronica said, “I’m seeing so many cars come and go recently.”Selena somewhat smiled and sipped on cream coffee. “I wasn’t born rich, Veronica. My relatives didn’t even let my parents into their homes or invite us to their functions because we were poor as church mice.”“Stop joking, Mom,” Veronica smirked with amusement. “You look like a million dollars. I’m sure our relatives’ sons back then would have wanted to marry you.”“You’re not entirely wrong, but they didn’t want to marry me as much as they wanted to mess with me,” Selena said. “I still remember one guy telling me, ‘I may look ugly as hell, but I can show you heaven in bed.’”Veronica went silent in shock. She didn’t think her mother’s beauty would have brought such terrib

Delle was bringing food, three varieties, on a big plate.Rye intercepted and took the plate from her. She brought it to Benjamin and sat by him under the tree.The grass was cool, even though the breeze was warm.“You think I haven’t noticed that you weren’t eating anything since you made that 40-day promise?” Rye said. “You were just acting like you’re eating.”She broke the bread mixed with fruit and brought it closer to his mouth.He didn’t open his mouth.“Do you want me to stop eating just like you are doing?” Rye said.Benjamin, who was staring into the distance, glanced at her. “Is it possible to love and hate at the same time?”Rye pursed her lips together, not quite understanding why he asked such a question. “I was angry with the things you did. I am still angry, but I don’t hate you. So, if you really love someone, I don’t think you can hate them.”“If there is no hatred in his heart, then how is Neel able to do this to me?” Benjamin asked, a hint of pain laced through his

Rebecca and Benyamin had breakfast together.This nearly made Selena’s eyes bleed. She didn’t think she’d live a day like this.Watching them eating happily was like injecting poison into her body.While she loved seeing her daughter happy, she couldn’t spare any mercy on the man who tricked her daughter into marrying him.Even now, she was thinking in her heart, devising plans on how to separate her daughter and her husband.Having lost the mood to eat breakfast, she came to the backyard.Amber was preparing the background setting needed for the interview.“Where’s Kathy?” Selena asked.“S-She’s with Samuel Sehla, ma’am,” Amber hesitantly said.Selena’s gaze turned a little icy, but then she smiled. “I knew Kathy had it in her, but I didn’t think she’d be able to grab the attention of someone like Samuel Sehla.” She looked at Amber. “What about you?”“I-I don’t plan on grabbing anybody’s attention,” Amber quickly replied.“Tsk, tsk,” Selena shook her head. “Try to grab Benyamin’s att

The next morning.Rebecca came out of her room fast and reached the dorms just to check on Benyamin. She found him brushing his teeth with his finger. And he was using salt.“Don’t you have a brush and toothpaste?” Rebecca quickly asked. “You should have asked me then.”“No, I’m fine with this,” Benyamin replied. “The smell of the chemicals in the toothpaste just makes me feel nauseous, so I’m fine with just this sea salt.”“But… will salt be enough?”“It’s enough,” Benyamin gave a thumbs-up. “In fact, I’m worried about you because you’re using that chemical-ridden toothpaste which dullens your brain.”“If they dullen the brain, then why would they promote toothpastes so much on television?”“They will promote everything that will make them money while keeping the people sick, so that they will not be able to think clearly and would rather depend on the government to think for themselves,” Benyamin smiled.“That’s not funny,” Rebecca hissed. “I have to go and brush my teeth. And I’m f

Later that night.Benjamin was out in the garden, sitting under a tree, doing nothing as hours went by.“He’s been like that since dinner,” Rye was watching him from the first floor’s window. “It’s not good.”“What can I say?” Uzza was feeling heavy-hearted. “It feels like the story of Abel and Cain altogether, though in a different way. The brothers that represent the duality of current man. The devil sure knows how to mock us and make us angry. I’m certain now. It’s his plan. He put the sworn brothers against each other.”“But how did he get Shadow?” Rye frowned. “I don’t sense any demonic energy in him.”“Considering Shadow’s abilities, it’s easy for him to hide the demonic energy,” Uzza opined. “He’s a perfect place for demons to hide, though I don’t know how they got hold of him. He must have been caught by surprise. I just hope that this won’t lead to something disastrous.” She was looking at Benjamin. “The longer this goes, the more likely that someone among those is going to b
