CHAPTER 604
Benjamin came down from the stage and was walking toward Rebecca.A waiter came up to him and offered him a wine glass. Benjamin was about to pick one, but he stopped and walked past the waiter.“It’s a very tasty wine, sir,” the waiter persuaded him to drink. “Please try it once.”“No,” Benjamin didn’t change his mind.After he took a couple of steps, something came flying at him fast. Benjamin could have dodged it, but with that speed, it could easily hurt someone badly, so he caught it with his hand.He opened his hand, and it was a toothpick.“Who threw this thing?” He looked around but did not find anyone particularly suspicious.He flicked the toothpick away and went to Rebecca who was still eating.“Did you like my song?” he asked her with a bit of expectation.“Hmph, you call that a song? It was more like a rhyming poem,” she snorted.“Their souls are still the same, aren't they?” Benjamin said. “Madam Rebecca? Just like how our souls are the same…”Rebecca almost choked on wh

Rebecca said she would need to go to the bathroom and left Benjamin’s side. After all, her heart felt greatly disturbed by the little things that Benjamin did. His words might not have stirred her heart with much success, but when he wiped her tear away, which was a very intimate act, her heart swelled with a strange emotion she couldn’t comprehend, much less describe it.And she didn’t want to be around Benjamin right now.Benjamin didn’t follow her for obvious reasons, even though he wanted to. After all, she was going to the portable women’s washroom.After she left, Benjamin opened his hand, and on his palm was a crystalized tear. He could see its shape and structure, and it was telling him a little story.He put his hand in his pocket.He faintly smiled as he felt his heart beating strangely. It was as if his blood swirled around his heart like a cyclone charged with the rush of youthfulness.Just then, Shawn was walking past him, and he briefly stopped and looked at Benjamin. “Y
CHAPTER 606
As Veronica screamed, her mouth was forcibly shut.“Don’t shout,” Benjamin hushed her. “It’s me.”Veronica was still shocked because she got the wrong idea. Why was Benjamin here? Was he following her? What was he going to do to her now?“You shouldn’t have come here,” Benjamin said.Veronica tried to push Benjamin away, but that wasn’t working, so she bit on his hand.Benjamin hissed a little in pain. “What was that for?”“That’s my question! What are you doing here? Why are you trying to shut me up?” she asked. “Did you apply some kind of powder to your hand? Am I going to lose consciousness soon?”“The heck are you talking about?” Benjamin was saying, and then four workers wearing waiter uniforms entered the room.Veronica saw them and quickly walked toward them. “Hello, I’m one of the guests. That guy followed me here and is harassing me. Can you beat him up?”One of the workers, however, grabbed her hand, startling her.“What are you doing?” she yanked her hand fast and freed her
CHAPTER 607
Veronica thought she died, but the very next fraction of a second, she saw the back of the man in black-suit.He somehow covered almost fifty feet and arrived here in no time and even took the bullet for her. Why would he do such a thing for her?She was under the impression that he died defending her.Unlike her, Arthur had a completely stunned expression as he looked at the white-masked man who was holding the bullet between his forefinger and middle finger.“A-Are you a vampire?” Arthur asked hesitantly.The masked man formed a barrier so that Veronica wouldn’t be able to hear anything, “Why are you comparing me with blood sucking, flesh eating, and life leeching creatures?” He walked forward.“D-Don’t kill me,” Arthur hastily said. “I’ll give you money. As much as you want.”“You tried to harm me twice. First, with the wine, and then next with the dart, which you yourself threw,” the masked man said. “You are a superhuman to an extent, so why don’t you cut your crappy acting?”Art
CHAPTER 608
To this day, Rebecca had never told anyone the most terrifying thing that had happened to her in her school days.When she was in fourth standard, she ended up stumbling onto the scene where her math and science teachers were having sex. From then on, they were targeting her in class. Even though they knew she was from a rich family, they would beat her with the stick when she didn’t answer their questions.One day, Selena saw that Rebecca was eating with her left hand, so she asked what happened to her right hand.Rebecca didn’t say anything, but Selena checked her right hand and saw that her palm had a red mark at the center. “W-Who did this to you?”Rebecca told her what happened, everything except the fact that she saw her teachers having sex. Back then, she didn’t even know what sex was, after all. And she didn’t yet realize that the reason the math and science teacher were targeting her was because of her mistake.Selena then went to school and made sure the two teachers did not
CHAPTER 609
“Sis, you are thinking too much,” Veronica hissed at her sister.“Am I?” Rebecca immediately slapped Veronica. “Shut your mouth, will you? Don’t take me for a dumb woman just because I mind my business, Veronica.”Her slap was neither weak nor strong. It was just hard enough to make Veronica feel the pain, both physical as well as emotional pain.Rebecca did slap Veronica multiple times in the past, but not once after growing up. It had been more than decade at least since Veronica was slapped by her sister or parents for being foolish and rebellious.So, now, her eyes turned teary because she was slapped in front of so many guests. Though not everyone paid attention to what happened because they were talking on the side, she still felt humiliated because of what her sister did.Veronica ran away straight to her mother.“She didn’t do anything wrong,” Benjamin told Rebecca.“Shut up,” Rebecca hissed back, raising her forefinger at him. “I was a fool to behave with you like we’re on th
CHAPTER 610
“I was doubtful so far, but now that I've seen women flocking to him, I’m sure of it,” Dorothy was talking to her husband, Nolan. “She married him for his looks. And look what he’s doing, chatting with them nonstop. The dogs in our house are better than him. They wouldn’t talk with strangers. Instead, they shout at them and protect us from harm. But what’s this guy doing? It looks like he can’t wait to get all their numbers! Why aren’t you saying anything?”Nolan was slowly drinking wine. “Ah, yeah, you’re right.” Right now, he couldn’t care less if Rebecca married a millionaire or a mutton-chopping man because the wine was really delicious, and so he was drowning himself in it.After seeing that Nolan was busy drinking, Dorothy went to her daughter who was standing not far from where Benjamin was talking with the ladies. “What are they laughing so much for?”“He’s probably cracking some stupid double-meaning jokes,” Elizabeth said and then realized who she was talking to. “M-Mom?!”“
CHAPTER 611
“You’re my wife, Rebecca,” Benjamin followed her and kept her voice low. “How can I stab you in the back?”“Go and tell those words to the millions of wives who get betrayed by their husbands,” Rebecca snorted.“I don’t know about others, but I would never stab you or anyone in the back,” Benjamin said. “We still don’t know much about each other, so it’s fine if we misunderstand each other, but… I think your sister is probably more hurt by what you said. I think you should-”“Don’t tell me about my own sister who I have known for quarter a decade,” Rebecca blurted.Benjamin went silent.“I still can’t believe that I married someone whom I know nothing about,” Rebecca muttered under her breath. “I was sure that I wasn’t making an emotional decision, but now, I wish I never married you. Maybe, I should have just told my family what happened, and they would have beaten you black and blue, and thrown you in jail. You would have spent a decade or two there.”Benjamin patiently listened to
