CHAPTER 66
Elizabeth went to Rye’s Pizzas in her G-class benz car and eagerly waited for Benjamin. The workers were all excited to see his chubby yet appealing blonde. Even Christopher who was devastated and frustrated because he got demoted to assistant manager without even being told why now felt greatly attracted toward her.Was she the woman of his dreams? Probably.He kept tagging along shamelessly and asked more and more details about her.As time passed, Benjamin didn’t come. This already frustrated her enough, and when Christopher asked if she wanted to eat a pizza, she ended up slapping and shutting him up.“What makes you think you can talk to me so freely?” she coldly blurted at him. “Stay at least six feet away from me, and speak only when it’s necessary.”“S-Sorry, ma’am.” Christopher’s face turned pale. Now that he was slapped in front of a lot of workers, he completely lost his face.He went and minded his business.Elizabeth roamed around, yelling at anyone who made the slightest
CHAPTER 67
On the first day after Benjamin quit the job, he did a lot of things that made him feel happy more than proud. Firstly, he had made a carrot pudding, one good enough to make his wife compliment him for the first time.And he expressed his love for her not just through words but also by focusing on her little needs and wants.At the end of the day, Rebecca felt like she really was treated like a queen. But it was at night, something much more memorable happened for her. She was tying up a bandage around her ankle to keep it firm, and she was doing it clumsily. Benjamin took it upon himself and tied a beautiful-looking knot that almost impressed her. But that wasn’t all. He suggested she could also add knots to her designs to give them a unique feel, and he showed her very many wonderful designs with a rope and a scarf. Thanks to him, Rebecca learned a lot in one night. She was a bit overwhelmed even, so she asked him to help her practice these knots for a few days, until her brain got
CHAPTER 68
Benjamin massaged Nolan again this morning. Nolan complained everytime Benjamin made the slightest of sudden movements. Benjamin was growing tired of his remarks, and his patient was really being tested today.“If you don’t even know how to massage using your hands, how are you ever going to please a woman fully?” Nolan raised a valid question, though only in his perspective. “You have to massage in a way they will want to be touched more. They should beg with their eyes to keep your hands running all over them. They should ask you to press you everywhere.” He glanced over his shoulder. “Why are you pressing like a lady? Press harder with your fingers.” Saying that he looked forward again and kept talking. “Massaging is an art. It’s not for the likes of you who can’t-”With his thumbs, Benjamin suddenly poked Nolan’s spine a bit hard, causing a cracking noise.“Ah!” Nolan froze for a second. He couldn’t move. “W-What did you do?”“Oh, no,” Benjamin acted innocent. “I think I heard som
CHAPTER 69
Selena accompanied Rebecca to her room and went a step further to talk to her in private in the room.“You don’t look happy, Rebecca,” she said. “And that’s a clear sign that this marriage isn’t working. It never has. You guys never spent quality time together, so obviously, he doesn’t really try to help you when you’re in need. That’s the kind of husband you’ve chosen.”“Mom, can you please leave me alone?” Rebecca said.“Fine, but take a good rest and think. Use this time to come to a decision,” Selena said and walked out. Benjamin was outside, looking unhappy and tense. She tried to start a conversation, but he ignored her and walked past her. She didn’t mind that, though, as she knew he probably was thinking of giving some explanation to staring at another female’s breasts.Benjamin came and hesitantly stood next to Rebecca’s bed. She sat with her back against the headboard, but she wasn’t even looking at him.“Rebecca…” he tried to talk.“I don’t want to talk,” she said, rather s

“Kids can be really mean and even unknowingly wicked sometimes…” Benjamin was speaking through his mobile as he drove on a highway.“I get that you agreed to buy her a car, but you at least warned her to never play games with you, right?” Alfred spoke from the other side.“I told her if she threatens me again, I’ll go straight to her principal and ask him to give her an F-grade in all of her subjects, and she shivered when I said that, so I don’t think she’ll try to use me like this again.”“Mm, but when are you going to take your card into your hands, Master?”“I don’t know,” replied Benjamin. He was never intending to take that card anyway. He only wanted to take it from Lisa and then break it, but now, he wasn’t in a position to do that, or Lisa could mess everything up. After what happened during the breakfast, the last thing he wanted was for Lisa to approach his wife and tell her he had a crush on Lisa who was still a minor and over ten years younger. Moreover, Lisa was his niec
CHAPTER 71
“I know Rebecca better than you know,” said Elizabeth, still putting on a gentle yet scary smile that made well use of her brows to convey her hidden feelings. “She hates liars. Maybe ‘despise’ is a more appropriate word. Once I tell her how much of a fraudster you’re, that your whole career and living is based on a lie, she will never trust you a word you say ever again. That’s the kind of girl she is.”Benjamin’s heart pounded against his chest so hard he couldn’t clearly hear her voice. “What do you want?”“Fufu, what do I want?” Elizabeth seemed amused. “What would I want from a guy who doesn’t shave his beard or even comb his hair? I’m starting to wonder if you’re hiding yourself from someone, which is why you’re not willing to shave yourself. This long hair also covers your face well. So firstly, why don’t we get you a neat haircut and shave in the saloon I choose. I’ll also get my hair styling done, but we’ll be using your money of course.”Benjamin clenched his fists so hard h
CHAPTER 72
Benjamin came home calm as though he had just gone for a walk outside and nothing out of the ordinary happened.Seconds later, Elizabeth also came home, and she looked a little frustrated because Benjamin threatened her he would leak the video and image to her family and friends if she were to say anything about his real name to anyone.Elizabeth was someone who visited rich parties every week. If her friends were to see her working in a pizza hut, they would have something they could always mock her with. Many others might take it differently as well. How could someone like her who changed clothes every week and shoes every other week work as a manager at a pizza store? The pitiful and doubtful gazes they would spare for her would be shameful, to say the least. Elizabeth didn’t want to go through such a humiliating experience. Moreover, she had repeatedly mocked Benjamin for working at Rye’s Pizzas in front of the Sterling family members. If they were to know that she was working the
CHAPTER 73
Jane’s apartment was a lone mountain, dwarfing the other rooftops in the neighborhood. Now it was fully covered in dazzling lights and caught everyone’s attention. Jane’s family had been living off like royals in this neighborhood from the rents alone.When regular cars arrived, Jane’s parents didn’t bother to come out to personally receive them. When the Porsche stopped outside, Jane’s mother came to receive them. She put on quite a bit of gold and was all smiles as she received Elizabeth and others. She thought Benjamin was a driver, so she didn’t even spare a glance at him and left.Elizabeth and her parents also completely ignored Benjamin after getting to the apartment, but they kept talking to almost everyone they thought were worth their time.Benjamin went to park the car in the parking space, but there was no room. He had to go to the nearest parking lane and park there. At the same time, another man was parking his car there. He saw Benjamin and immediately frowned in anger.
