The journalist and the cameraman ran away from Jane’s punch-packed story. If Rebecca hadn’t stopped her, Jane would have chased them to the streets.“Do you realize what you’ve done? All the people who were watching it live would have thought of you as a fool and a comedian!” Rebecca blurted angrily.“I don’t care about what strangers think about me, Rebs,” Jane wrapped her arm around Rebecca’s neck. “They were troubling you, so I took care of them. If they come again, I’ll do it again.” She acted like she was drunk. “I know you’re going through tough times, but sometimes things have to get worse before they get better. I’m sure good days are ahead of you, my friend.”“Stop the drama. The camera is no longer focused on us!” Rebecca hissed at her.“I know, but I also know that you’re sad,” Jane said. “Ever since the party started, your brothers hadn’t greeted you. It’s like they have demoted themselves to relative status. I’m sure you’re saddened by it.”Rebecca pursed her lips a littl
In the end, Andrew was buried underground, though not as much as Samuel got buried before.“Do you guys realize what you’ve done!” Samuel was growling in pure anger, feeling literal chills down his spine. “He is the president of the country! How can you do this to him?”“If you miss your dad so much, then why don’t you share the grave with him?” Jacob began to push Samuel toward the grave, but Samuel backed away.He was feeling really weak now, which was why he wasn’t buried again as he might really die this time.“You’ve got a role to play, Samuel,” Selena said. “You will go out to the front yard and greet the guests and act like everything is fine. As long as you’re out there in their faces, they won’t think of Andrew. We can slowly send the guests off one by one. Until then, you better stick to the script. Or you’ll be put back in your grave. You understand?”“I do,” Samuel was crying like a weak woman right now. “I will do anything, so just let me go home.”It was disgusting to s
Veronica and Akash were talking with Rebecca, and she thanked Akash for bringing her sister back safely.“I’m not a kid, sis,” Veronica retorted. “I had many guys chasing me while you were still wondering why the moon is following you!”“You shouldn’t talk like that in front of your husband,” Rebecca twisted her ear.“Aw!”Akash laughed. “My eyes feel so satisfied now. My parents and I couldn’t do anything to her even though she’s made things difficult for us. So, it’s good to see her get put in her place.”Veronica gave him a side eye, as if telling him she’d deal with him after they would get to the room.Akash’s heart thudded against his ribcage. “I-I was just joking, of course.” He looked around. “By the way, where’s Brother Benjamin?”“Mm?” Rebecca looked at him. “Benjamin, or Benyamin?”“Akash, it was Benyamin, and he’s no more,” Veronica said. “Did you forget it already?”Akash’s expression changed. He realized he shouldn’t have said that. “I’m sorry, sister-in-law.”“It’s fine
Even after the party ended and all the guests left, Selena was nervous because the security detail members were still in the villa.Uzza had told her she’d take care of them, but she hadn’t done anything yet.As if the tension she had wasn’t enough, Veronica and Akash entered the building, holding each other’s hands.Selena immediately frowned. “Veronica, I’m glad that you returned, but why did you return with that trash?”“Mom, he’s not trash,” Veronica politely responded. “And I’m not a child anymore to run circles around you.” She locked her arm around Akash’s arm. “It’s time for me to run circles around my husband.”Selena felt the brain in her head boiling and bubbling. “Just when I thought I could be happy after Trashmin died, you brought this trash into the house. Didn’t you see how many esteemed guests came to the party tonight? There were many millionaires and billionaires among them. Your so-called husband is not even qualified to clean their boots!”Both Akash and Veronica
The next morning.Rebecca came out to the balcony while brushing her teeth. She rarely came out of her room while brushing. Today she was feeling tired and sleepy, so she didn’t care about such things.She saw Kathy sending Samuel off, and Samuel seemed to be very happy and enamored by Kathy. He was even waving his hand off.Rebecca felt her eyes bleeding from what she was watching.“Ah, what have you done, Mom…” Rebecca could still feel pity for Kathy. “Are you going to stoop to any level to get what you want? What are you planning to do with Samuel Sehla that you forced Kathy to sleep with? You were initially planning to trick Andrew, but that didn’t work out, so you shifted your target to Andrew’s son instead.”Disgust filled her eyes.“Why are most men like this? Whenever they see a decent-looking woman, they forget about their wife and children back home. How can they ruin their family life with their own hands?”The more she thought about, the more frustrated she got.As the sun
Selena woke up and was waiting for Uzza to come out of her room. She was reading a newspaper in the living room on the first floor, when she saw Vlad passing by while sipping something from a packet.“What the… is that a blood bag?” Selena’s heart shook for a second.“I-It’s grape juice, Grandma,” Vlad was startled by her but quickly replied.“Grape juice? Since when are they selling grape juice in plastic bags?” Selena asked. “Bring that over.”Vlad shook his head and ran to his room.“This little…” Selena frowned. “He’s acting strange. Then again, he’s always been strange. It’s not autism, but it’s something else for sure. We should get both him and Mercie checked. It’s one thing if they’re strange as kids, but if they keep acting like this even after growing up, it’ll be troublesome.”Just then,Veronica came and sat down next to her mom and took the newspaper from her hand.“What’s with that attitude?” Selena coldly glanced at her. “Are you losing respect for your mom after you ma
In the heart of Rachel Hill, which was part of a vibrant city, the sun painted the sky with strokes of orange and pink.“The sunset from this rooftop isn’t half bad,” Rye commented while Uzza was sipping on coconut water next to her.“This is nothing compared to the views we get at our home, though,” Uzza responded. “But have you noticed the change in the moon last night?”“Yeah, it was…” she looked to her right and saw a drone disguised as a bird flying in their direction. With a little squinting of her eyes, she caused the drone to lose control and crash into a tree.The surveillance department people of the government who were controlling the drone were shocked by it. “What just happened? We were zooming on that absurdly large villa, and then… the signal was gone. We lost control over the drone, too.”“What kind of people are in that villa?”“They can keep the president buried in their backyard, so they’re no joke.”Using the heat signatures, they could tell that Andrew was buried
Rebecca crashed onto the road. Had she not landed on her hand first, she would have gotten badly bruised if not injured.“These days, it’s become a fashion for bitches to bump into men and trap them into falling in love with them,” the big man who punched Rebecca down angrily barked and stepped closer. “If I don’t teach your kind a lesson, then my name is not—”Rebecca punched his face as he leaned forward to grab her.“Argh,” he backed away.Rebecca got up and quickly ran away.He chased her.Though there were some onlookers, none of them intervened.Rebecca took her mobile out to call Jane, but to her shock, the balance on her mobile finished. She quickly called the police and alerted them of her situation.Afterward, she ran into a shopping mall as there were many people there. She told the entrance guards that a man was harassing her.The guards stopped this man from entering the shopping mall, but he punched them and hurriedly entered the mall.He was panting but he looked angrie
