CHAPTER 483
Akash was taken to a separate room. When Veronica finally came and saw him, she grew angry, but what could she do to her own elder brother? The best she could do now was apologize to Akash for what her brother had done to him. “I’m sorry.”Akash didn’t feel any better after hearing her apology because it felt like her words lacked substance.Soon, the family doctor came and treated Elizabeth. Veronica went to the doctor to bring him to Akash’s room as well, but Elizabeth told Veronica, “Your husband only suffered a minor nose injury. He doesn’t need to be checked by a professional doctor. He can just be treated by the maids.”“Are you fucking kidding me?” Veronica had enough. “My husband worked more in this house in the past few weeks than you had in all your years of staying here! You’re not qualified to tell whether he should receive the treatment from a doctor or not!”Elizabeth’s eyes reddened. She looked at her husband, as if telling him to keep her in check, but Shawn had never
CHAPTER 484
Shadow who wasn’t put in a cell like Rye or Benjamin but was locked up in a particular house and was told to read a large novel written in a language he didn’t know. He would be allowed to come out only after reading and understanding the novel. This was a punishment that put his patience as well as his intelligence and faith to test.Shadow wasn’t the first to receive this sort of a punishment. Some others who received this punishment in the past were able to learn the language with their own intellect, but it had taken them months if not years to do it. And then there were others who were able to understand the foreign novel with the gift of the tongues, which they believed was given by God himself.Ryan paid a visit to Shadow, expecting him to be trying his best to read and understand the book or at least pray for knowledge and wisdom to succeed in this mission put before him. However Shadow was using that novel as a pillow and was snoring like a pig.Ryan shook his head and then w
CHAPTER 485
A milkman entered the Sterling villa in the morning and delivered two cans full of cow and buffalo milk. Delle personally checked the quality of the milk with an instrument to make sure it wasn’t bastardized.Delle poured the raw milk into smaller glass bottles and filled the different refrigerators in the villa with it.While the men in the building avoided drinking raw milk, almost every woman in the villa consumed it because Selena had made it so they learned that habit. From a young age, Selena had the habit of drinking raw milk at some point of the day, except in the morning because she preferred coffee after getting up from the bed.It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that Selena, Elizabeth, Veronica, and Rebecca didn’t get any allergic diseases or health complications in recent times because they developed this habit. Even illness that would be common for women in this day and age wouldn’t even come close to those in the Sterling villa.More importantly, Selena would give a s
CHAPTER 486
Selena wasn’t done roasting Andrew Sehla just yet.She began to release video bytes, where she further elaborated on how important raw milk was and how it should absolutely be part of one’s diet. At the same time, she told everyone to not keep the milk in the fridge for no longer than two days, unless it was Andrew Sehla who could even drink milk procured a month ago.On top of that, Selena mixed lies with truth and told in the videos that Andrew tried to hit on her in the past even after knowing that she was married. She even went on to say, “Nobody would want Andrew around. He’s a parasite of humanity, using his power and money to destroy everything he touches. He and his ashkenazi friends had our family attacked not long ago, too, for what? Because I didn’t come into his bedroom? I will never bow down to these filthy bastards who think they can have everything under the sun. Now, you all might be wondering why I’m coming out now. I’m not doing this for money. I just want his bullyi
CHAPTER 487
A few days later.Akash recovered enough to get off the bed and walk around without much of a problem, and the maids had given him a broom and a mop and told him to clean the house, saying it’d be like an exercise that would heal his body faster.Akash could only pitifully smile and start cleaning the house. But what hurt him was that nobody cared that he was cleaning the house and began to walk around in the spots where he just cleaned. Elizabeth purposely dropped some crumbs of fast food on the floor just to get on his nerves. Even her daughter Lisa was not being mindful that he was cleaning.The only two people that showed any respect or care were Veronica and her sister Rebecca. Only those two avoided blatantly stepping on the spots that were just cleaned.The only good thing about this cleaning job was that he was able to see what everybody in the house was doing.Jacob, who would never have enough time in a day, now found himself free and bored most of the day. The frustration i
CHAPTER 488
Rebecca was sitting on the balcony and was drinking raw milk. She saw an old lady beggar who had entered the villa as a customer and then asked Kathy to give him some fruits and vegetables, but Kathy coldly refused and told him to get the hell out, saying that she was working hard for every fruit and vegetable in the garden.Rebecca was watching the old beggar leave pitifully. “Give her a bag of fruits, Kathy,” she ordered from the balcony in a loud enough voice.Kathy didn’t like what she heard. “Young Mistress, she’s probably earned a lot from begging yesterday. She just came here to earn free breakfast. There’s no need to waste our goods on her.”“Look around you, Kathy,’ Rebecca said. “The garden is growing and growing every day. If not for Mr. Ryan’s advice, our garden wouldn’t have prospered like this. He gave us this garden for free, so why can’t you give at least a little bit of the produce to the needy? Don’t let great abundance become a great handicap for you.”(You’re not t
CHAPTER 489
Rebecca and Veronica were sleeping in the same room that morning.“How did you even meet Benjamin? You said it happened at a bar, but you didn’t give me the details,” Veronica said. She was purposely asking about Benjamin so that her sister will think back on those times and move on. ‘I mean, you’re the type who says that even chatting for someone a bit long at work is unprofessional. And you’re definitely not the type to go to a bar, so it’s really surprising and puzzling that you met him at a bar.”“Well, something about him was different. I wasn’t expecting to meet anybody that night, to be honest, but then when I saw him, something changed. I won’t call it an instant connection, but he drew me in, and after we sat at the same table, he began to crack simple jokes, and he didn’t praise my beauty too much like most other men do,” Rebecca said, smiling. “But he did ask me if I was married and not if I had a boyfriend or not. It seemed like his intentions were pure and straightforward
CHAPTER 490
Dahlia overcame her punishment successfully on the third day, but her gut and throat were on fire right now. She was now allowed to heal herself, but she didn’t. Because she was so angry at Shadow she didn’t want to heal her problems and then forget to punish him properly.After all, there was a rule in Sciocidad, to never go to sleep with the flames of anger burning in your heart. Anger between fellow clansmen at the least must be resolved on that day itself. This was why Dahlia was allowed to visit Shadow who was not quite giving his best to understand the book he was given.An elder tagged alongside her so she wouldn’t do anything foolish like fighting Shadow.Currently, Shadow was eating grapes while reading a book in the warm candlelight that gave off an earthy and sweet aroma like honey because the candle was made from beeswax.Seeing Dahlia’s reddened eyes as she entered the room, Shadow’s spine tingled more than a bit. He was eating grapes, but he stopped doing that now. He co
