When Selena returned home, Lisa and Roshan made a mountain out of the molehill regarding what Benjamin had done to them. They also repeatedly told Veronica and the maids, and they waited till midnight and told Shawn when he came home. And they took Shawn to Rebecca’s room.“Open the door,” Shawn knocked and said a few times, but there was no response.“He locked the door after having dinner,” Lisa said. “He didn’t open it when Grandma told him to!”“What?” Shawn grew angry. “Since when did he grow so arrogant?” he banged the door harder with his hand. Roshan also joined his father and banged the door. The maids and the butlers were watching silently from the side. “Rebecca? What are you doing? At least say something. Do you want me to break the door or what?”Stil, there was no response.Inside the room, Benjamin was reading one of his wife’s fashion magazines. Rebecca was peacefully sleeping, having plugged her ears with noise cancellation earbuds.Though Benjamin sat calmly on the b
A blue bugatti went past Benjamin as he kept staring at the mobile screen. “2.25 million dollar purchase?” his head felt like it grew heavy. “Who the hell is using the card?” he dialed Alfred. “I just got the message. Someone made a 2.25 million dollar purchase using the platinum card you tried to give me. Do you know who it is?”“I know, Master.”“Who is it?”“It’s someone from the Sterling villa,” Alfred didn’t reveal the name on purpose.“What?” Benjamin was startled. His in-laws’ faces popped up in his mind, but then he mainly doubted Elizabeth and Veronica as only those two didn’t have jobs. He even thought of Lisa or Roshan having it, but he didn’t even think of the possibility of the maids or the butlers using the card. “Who is it?” his voice grew deep.“I’m sorry, but you need to find that out by yourself, Master,” Alfred demanded. “Be responsible for your money.” Saying that he ended the call.Benjamin got lost in thought for a few minutes while sitting on the bike at the sid
Oliver parked his car at a supermarket close to the Sterling villa. He paid the guard a thousand dollars and told him to keep the car safe, and the guard gladly obliged. Oliver bought products worth eight thousand dollars from the supermarket, three-fourth of which went for buying various kinds of quality meat.He returned to the villa and began cooking the kobe beef first. “I’ve tried kobe burgers before, but I never thought I’d eat full-blown kobe dinner. Hahaha.”As he was very much involved in cooking, Devon sneaked up on him and struck his head with a wooden stick. Oliver fell unconscious before he could even turn to look who hit him. Devon took the platinum card from him and ran away.The smell of the kobe beef attracted Vlad and Mercie to the kitchen. They went upstairs and called their mother. Bella came to the kitchen and cooked kobe curry, all the while Oliver was lying unconscious on the floor. Vlad ate the curry while sitting on Oliver’s body, and they really liked it.Aft
During breakfast, Benjamin apologized to Lisa and Roshan in front of everyone, except Jacob who was still out on his work.“I’m sorry. I should have never directed my anger toward you two,” Benjamin lowered his head before Lisa and Roshan, and their egos were satisfied.Nolan and Dorothy knew that the reason the kids caught cold was because they ate too many sweets the other night. It was Dorothy who bought the sweets, so they could only snicker, looking at the pathetic expression Benjamin was making.“Such a simple sorry isn’t enough,” Shawn said. “You will be driving my kids to school until Anous returns. Let this experience teach you your place.”“T-That’s…” Benjamin looked at Rebecca, as though asking her to fight for him, but she just pursed her lips together.Lisa and Roshan giggled without any concern.“How was the series?” Selena asked her daughter. Lost Love was a romantic comedy drama from over twenty years ago, in which she was one of the main leads.“I finished season 1. Y
Benjamin walked out of the church with a slightly less burdened heart than before. As he drove to the Rye’s Pizzas, he noticed Devon entering a casino.“Why’s he going in there?” Benjamin wondered but didn’t bother too much as he was already tight on time.His first order today was into a bad neighborhood where even the police would think twice before entering. There was little to no traffic in the neighborhood. He reached the destination, an old house that wasn’t being properly cared for. There was a dog tied to a tree in the garden, and it looked malnourished. The rope around its neck had left a deep scar in the flesh, which had begun to rot.Seeing Benjamin, the dog began barking with the little strength it got. Benjamin ignored the dog and reached the front door. The was no door bell, so he knocked on the door three times.The door opened and Blackbear was standing on the other side of the doorframe, wearing a pleasant smile on his face.“Sir, your delivery,” Benjamin gave the thr
Benjamin came home and was shocked to see that the stairs leading to the first floor were gone, and an escalator was installed in its place.“What the hell?” he rubbed his eyes twice, but it didn’t change what he was viewing. Vlad and Mercie were going up and coming down the moving staircase.Seeing Benjamin stupefied, Kathy came over to him and said, “Shocked, right? You should have seen it being built. That billionaire’s son is really crazy. He brought over a thousand workers and built this thing in under three hours. His reason was that he wanted Rebecca to freely move between the floors until her ankle injury healed.”Benjamin’s blood boiled almost instantly.Kathy could literally feel the heat coming off of him, and so she kept talking, “He even installed a moving walkway on the first floor so she could free go from her room to the living room.”“What?” Benjamin hurriedly ran up the escalator, shocking and worrying her at the same time. It seemed reckless, but he wasn’t injured i
The private security guards of the billionaire’s son were all professional fighters who had either served in the army or worked in underground fighting clubs. Each of them knew how to take down an opponent in just one hit.Benjamin looked like an easy meal, so not all of them went guns blazing, as it seemed more than enough to deal with some random dude who was either foolish or brave enough to walk into a lion’s den alone.However, it soon proved that he was indeed a fool as he didn’t fight back. As fists pounded his cheeks, and kicks hurt his ribs, he withstood the pain. Seeing him standing on their feet despite their attacks, the guards grew more aggressive with their attacks and drew blood from Benjamin’s mouth. Though he was moved from the spot, he was still on his feet.“Your persistence will get you killed, brat,” the head of the guards jumped and landed a spinning kick to the side of Benjamin’s face. It lifted Benjamin off his feet and sent him rolling on the floor. His nose a
Rebecca’s body jerked in response to the unforeseen kiss. Her eyes widened in full. Though she was greatly surprised for a second, it didn’t last long. After all, she knew men were like this. You give them an inch, and they would try to take up the whole space.However, before she reacted, Benjamin moved his head back and said, “Sorry. I didn’t meant to do that. I was moving my head,and my mouth ended up touching your neck. I promise.”Benjamin sounded really convincing. It didn’t seem like he was making things up, so she couldn’t rebuke him. “I-It’s fine.”Benjamin didn’t want to get up from her bed, but he didn’t want to look bad, either, so he painstakingly stood and went to his bed.And then they waited for the doctor.Rebecca still felt a bit awkward, so she covered herself with the blanket. Still, the moment when his lips pecked her neck kept popping in her mind, and her body began acting weird. A strange sense of pleasure coursed through her blood, and she couldn’t rest comfort
