CHAPTER 631
Rebecca stopped the car by a mobile vehicle where they were selling papayas, melons, and watermelons.“I will buy for you,” Benjamin quickly said.“No. I will pay for myself and for you as well,” she said. “Eat what you want, but don’t argue in front of others.” Saying that she got out of the car.She picked 2 watermelons, both of which were nearly thirty pounds. Benjamin took care of putting the melons careful in the car boot.Rebecca bought a glassful of cube-shaped watermelon pieces and ate them with the help of a fork. She was spitting the seeds out.“Don’t waste the seeds,” Benjamin told her while he also ate watermelon along with the seeds.“Eat the seeds?” she frowned. “You can’t be serious.”“There’s so much nutritional value in the seeds compared to the rest of the fruit. You are better off eating the seeds and throwing away the rest,” Benjamin said.For some reason, his casual confidence was convincing.Rebecca crunched on a few seeds, and they didn’t taste sour or anything,
CHAPTER 632
Rebecca came to her room. Benjamin was bathing, so she had to wait.After he came out, she told him, “I’ll go first from tomorrow. Remember that.”“W-What? What if I came home early?” Benjamin asked.“You won’t. I’ll be picking you from work every day,” she replied.“Y-You will?” Benjamin’s heart fluttered for a second. “Why? That wasn’t part of the bet.”“I have my reasons,” she said. “Just make sure you don’t make me wait at your shop. I hate waiting.” Saying that she entered the bathroom.Benjamin was all smiles. “I’ll ask her to take us to a restaurant tomorrow,” he thought. He didn’t yet share a meal with her, so he was really eager to do it.Benjamin then came out to the balcony to get some fresh air. Because the sun had gone down, the breeze should be cooling off, he thought, but Bella and Louis were also there, comfortably sitting on a lawn chair.Amber was serving them raw red beet juice. Louis and Bella were currently in their vampire forms, but they had cast an illusion on
CHAPTER 633
At Lux hospital owned by the Lux family.Lilian was talking with some people on his mobile. “I can’t move my fingers. I can’t even feel them.” His fingers were all swollen like he was suffering from some disease. They became very sensitive, so much so that even if someone were to blow air onto his hand, he’d cringe from pain. The doctors couldn’t explain the cause for this even after they ran multiple tests. “I want you all to bring this guy to me and then kill everyone in his family and relatives. I want them all dead.”All the people he was video-chatting were wearing masks, no in reality but through filtering.“We are already looking into that guy,” one of them said. “Rest assured, we won’t spare him. But there’s no need to go after his family, too, and make this a bigger scene.”“What if he told his family members what he knew?” Lilian blurted. “We don’t even know how he knew about the swamp. He even knew about cloning. Who knows what else he knows? Is he an ex-military that worke
CHAPTER 634
Benjamin came out of the villa and started jogging.A car with four guys inside had been following him. They traveled miles behind him, and it annoyed them. “How much longer is this cunt going to run?”“Why don’t we just run over him and get it done with?”“We’re supposed to harass him, remember?”Just then, Benjamin stopped in front of a mobile shop. He bought a second-hand button mobile as well as a sim card in the very next shop. It cost him sixty dollars in total.And then he walked straight toward the car.“Shit. He’s coming this way,” they still sat like they didn’t know him.Benjamin knocked on the door.They lowered the glass window. “What’s up, mate?”“Why are you following me, mate?” Benjamin asked with a smile on his face.“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” as he said, he immediately took his gun out and pointed it at Benjamin. “Shut your mouth and stand there.” He then looked at his friends. “Fetch him.”Two of them got out of the car and forcibly put Benjamin in. H
CHAPTER 635
Benjamin took 100 grand from Teddy, but by the time he walked out of it, he was holding five bags full of cash totaling 3.9 million dollars.He had already given 100,000 dollars to one of the players who cried after losing everything and that he and his family were going to end up on the streets.“Gambling is easier than I thought…” Benjamin muttered under his breath. “I just wanted to humble them a little bit, but I was not thinking of earning this much. What should I do with all this cash?”He didn’t have any good ideas, so he was walking down the street wondering about it. He didn’t know for long he walked, but at some point, he reached a neighborhood where twelve houses were on sale. Each house needed rehabilitation, but they were all still very suitable for living.It was already night at the time, but he had a new sim card, which he wanted to use. He called the agent’s number that was written on the board and talked with him. It took an hour for the agent to come to the spot, an
CHAPTER 636
Benjamin woke up and realized that the time was one o’clock in the afternoon, and Rebecca wasn’t there in the room.He tried to come out, but the door was locked.“Hello, anybody out there?” he called out loud. “Open the door, please.”Delle heard him and was coming to open the door, but Elizabeth signaled her from a distance, telling her to mind her own business.Delle quietly went away.Benjamin understood the situation and didn’t shout anymore.Dorothy and Elizabeth were having fun because they locked the door with the master key which Elizabeth had taken from Selena that morning. They wanted Benjamin to suffer in the room until evening, as they were planning to unlock the door before Rebecca came home.Benjamin, however, opened the window and climbed down the walls using the grooves and comfortably came down.He entered the building right away.Lisa and Roshan were both staring at their mobiles. “You didn’t go to school?”“Jet lag,” Roshan replied.“Ah-huh,” Benjamin didn’t say an
CHAPTER 637
After eating the food, Benjamin washed the dishes and began to do all the household chores even though nobody had told him to do it.He had never done something like washing other’s dishes before, but he was doing it to the best of his ability as he wanted to win over his wife’s family members.Benjamin wanted to finish a lot of work before Rebecca arrived home.But before that, Selena came downstairs and talked with him, “Why did you skip work today? Is it because you have to give the money you earn over to me?”“No, Mother…in-law,” Benjamin hesitantly said. “I overslept, and…”“Overslept?” Selena frowned because she thought that Benjamin and Rebecca might have overworked last night. “My daughter woke up like she does everyday and went to work. Yet, you are so careless. I guess, it doesn’t matter much even if you lose your shitty job. Am I correct?”“No, I care about my job, Mother-in-law,” he quickly said. “It was just a mistake today.”Selena stepped closer. “I don’t know what sor
CHAPTER 638
After Rebecca came home, Benjamin didn’t tell her that her mother was admonishing him unfairly, as he didn’t want Rebecca to feel bad and annoyed because she came from long hours of work. He didn’t tell her what Elizabeth had done, either, by locking the door and trying to trap him in the room for who knew how long?However, when Rebecca asked him the question, ‘Where were you last night?’ he felt like he was perhaps doing the wrong thing by keeping things to himself. Since Rebecca was deeply craving honesty as well as transparency, why not tell her the truth?And then Benjamin explained to her what had happened last night,Rebecca raised her eyebrows. “You’re telling me that you went out to buy a sim card, and some people threatened you and took you to a casino, where you dealt with the gangsters and returned home?”“Yep, I didn’t tell you every detail, but that’s the gist of it,” Benjamin said.Rebecca grabbed his hand and checked his knuckles. “I don’t see any bruises. How do you e
