CHAPTER 921
Instead of going to the balcony, Rebecca went to her room.She couldn’t focus on her work as she kept thinking back on the stick in Selena’s room. She didn’t want that stick to exist as it was bringing back a terrible memory.What’s confusing was that, when she thought of the past, she was imagining Benjamin getting beaten with a stick but not Benyamin.“Why am I thinking about him instead of thinking about my husband?” Rebecca slapped herself. “What’s wrong with me?”She felt like she was insulting her husband even in her thoughts, which made her feel sick in the stomach and hate herself.“Should I ask Benjamin to leave this house?” Rebecca wondered. “But what reason should I give him to convince him without hurting him? No matter what I say, it might be offensive. His girlfriend might also find it bad, and it can complicate things. Tch, is there nothing I can do to bring some peace to myself?”Just then she received a phone call. It was from one of her rival designers.“Josephine De
CHAPTER 922
“Benjamin sweetheart,” Riley dangled her socks before her, “will you buy my beautiful socks? They’re only worth a hundred dollars.”Benjamin frowned. “Why would I want to buy your smelly socks? I wouldn’t take them even if you were to pay me money.”The jaws of Riley and the other girls dropped.“H-Huh,” Riley snorted. “You don’t know what you’re missing. Do you know how many guys back in my college wanted to buy my socks?”“I don’t know, and I don’t care,” Benjamin shook his head and walked away from the balcony, not looking back even though Riley reduced the price to 99 dollars.“He didn’t even look back,” the other girls teased Riley. “Maybe, your socks aren’t worth as much.”“Ah, stop it,” Riley snorted back. “You are all jealous that Roshan picked my socks instead of all your socks. He’s going to pay me 1000 dollars soon, and you can’t do anything about it.”“Hmh,” her words made the other girls snort in jealousy.Moments later, Roshan arrived there, a little out of breath. Seein
CHAPTER 923
“What do you think you’re doing?” Fiona glared at Rye. “Instead of stopping me, you should slap him, too!”“I get that you’re angry,” Rye coldly replied, “but aren’t you assuming your daughter’s words to be automatically true? What if she was lying? How can you just assume that my boyfriend Benjamin did something wrong?”“It’s not just my daughter. The other girls also said the same thing!” Fiona stressed her words.“So? All of them could be lying,” Rye retorted.“And why would they do that at the cost of humiliating themselves?” Fiona roared. “Do you think you can save your boyfriend from the mess he created? I’m calling the cops right now.”“Sure, go ahead and call them,” Uzza intervened. “But I’d suggest that you do it after you see what I have.”Uzza then muted her mobile and showed a video just to Fiona, Rye, Rebecca and Riley herself who were all standing close to each other.Even with no sound, Fiona could see Riley and the other girls trying to tease Roshan with socks, and tha
CHAPTER 924
Benjamin talked with Roshan, telling him nothing other than to not just do everything others tell you.“If you’re uncomfortable, or you think it’s not right, then say no,” Benjamin told him and waited for his nod.Only after Roshan nodded, Benjamin gave his mobile back to Roshan who resumed playing the game.“Why do you play video games so much?” Benjamin asked him.“To escape the boring reality,” he replied.Benjamin raised his eyebrows.Roshan was barely 15, and he was talking about escaping reality even though he was born in a multi-millionaire family and was able to travel without ever putting his bare foot on the ground.“The exciting game you’re playing is made in this boring reality, buddy,” Benjamin told him.Roshan looked at him once, smiled and then continued playing.“Why don’t we have a little competition?” Benjamin said. “If I make a better score than you, will you stop playing these games for a month?”“Haha,” Roshan laughed. “You? Against me? Not happening, bruh.”“Ah-h

CHAPTER 925
To Benjamin’s surprise, both Rye and Rebecca were outside.“How did it go?” Rebecca and Rye asked the same question, then looked at each other. “Did you succeed?” They asked the same thing again and once more looked at each other.“It’s a personal issue,” Rebecca told her. “Can you give us a minute?”“Huh? You’re talking to my boyfriend, and you want me to go away?” Rye laughed angrily. “Now, you’ve got some cheek, girl. And I feel like smacking it.”“Calm down, Rye,” Benjamin said.“And why should I?” Rye asked.“Because you don’t look as good when you’re angry,” Benjamin said and walked away.“Wait, what did you just say?” Rye went after him, but he ran down the stairs so he wouldn’t get caught.In a guest room.Fiona was scolding her daughter and the other girls who messed up.“What were you thinking when you dangled your socks in front of Roshan?” Fiona asked them angrily.“W-We were just teasing him, Mom,” Riley said.“If you want to tease, then do it when no one’s watching,” Fio
CHAPTER 926
On that same night.Benjamin was sitting out under a tree in the backyard, waiting for the moon to come out.But Riley came up to him first, “What are you doing out here in the cold weather?”“You’re not going to scream again and put blame on me, are you?” Benjamin took his mobile out and started recording.“OH, stop it. I’m not that bad,” Riley casually said, sitting next to him and opening the alcohol bottle. She took a sip and gave him the bottle.“Thanks but no,” he gently pushed the bottle away.“Why not? Are you afraid that your girlfriend might get mad at you?”“No.”“Then why?”“Not in the mood for a drink right now,” Benjamin said, plucking grass off the ground.“You know,” Riley brought the bottle closer to her mouth and made gestures with her lips, trying to seduce him. “I felt butterflies in my stomach when I first saw you.”“Love isn’t butterflies in the stomach, though,” Benjamin said. “It’s working your ass off for the one you love. It’s about what you do, not how you f
CHAPTER 927
Rebecca was having trouble sleeping once more.She was imagining all kinds of weird things, such as Benjamin giving her a rose, Benjamin taking her to the beach and so on.“Where the hell are my thoughts heading? This is all so bizarre!” she slapped her cheeks twice.She had never dreamed of any man before, so what’s happening these past couple of days was quite strange and embarrassing for her, especially considering that she was married and Benjamin had a girlfriend.“Did the parasite that left Veronica come to me or what?”Rebecca kept having crazy thoughts, which kept getting crazier as the night passed.In the end, she couldn’t sleep at all, so she walked out of the room and was heading to the balcony.Just then, she saw Fiona knocking on the door of her brother’s room.Jacob opened the door, while smoking a pipe. “What is it, Fiona? Disturbing at this hour… you better have a good reason for it.”“My reason will shake your soul, Brother,” Fiona said.“Oh, and what would that be?”
