CHAPTER 126
When Rebecca was having lunch, Veronica came home crying and ran to her room.Rebecca followed her into the room with a worried look on her face. Veronica had jumped onto her bed and buried her face in the pillow as tears kept flowing out.“Veronica,” Rebecca sat down and grabbed her arm. “What happened? Why are you crying like this? Did someone say anything bad to you?” Blood rushed into her eyes. While she might ignore insults thrown at her, she found it hard to digest when his sister was the subject of pain. “Tell me his name. I’ll go and put him in his place!”“Don’t make things worse for me, sis. Just go.”“Don’t speak like that. Tell me what happened. It will lessen the burden on your heart.”“Leave me alone, please.”“Veronica. Nothing will change from crying,” Rebecca sat down and tried to console her. “Only your health will worsen. So, please listen to me. Tell me what happened, and I’ll try to give you a solution.”After crying some more, Veronica sat up. Rebecca wiped her t
CHAPTER 127
Jane and Donovan came to the Pure Waters bar.“So this is where you said your friends first met, right?” Donovan asked her.“Yeah, she didn’t come to this bar after that night, I think,” Jane replied.They sat at a table and ordered drinks.Jane kept staring at him. “Donovan… I don’t care about your past or future plans, but just answer me this one thing. Ever since we started dating, have you slept with another woman?”Donovan was startled for a second, but he assuredly smiled, “How can I?”“Just say yes or no.”“Of course, not.” He put his hand on top of her hand. “We are a beautiful pair, and we are sexually compatible. Why would I even look for another woman?”She faintly smiled, but that didn’t last long. “You mean you will look at other women when I stop being beautiful?”“I didn’t say that!”She smiled again and slapped his hand. “Just kidding.”Donovan breathed a sigh of relief.“You know what? Our conversation reminds me of another conversation I had with Rebecca.”“About wha

“This place is really special to me,” Benjamin replied somewhat indifferently. “I can’t let you guys close it, even if it’s for a few days.”“What?” the police officer couldn’t believe the nerve of this guy. He took his baton out.“Wow, chill, bro,” Benjamin got out of the seat. “You don’t have the court orders to shut this place down, do you?”“I don’t need to show you anything. Now, get out!”“Calm down, sir,” Benjamin politely said. “My in-laws have been treating me poorly, so this is the only place I can come every day and take my stress out, so what will happen to me if you close this bar?”“I don’t care,” the officer yelled.“Then, can I at least come to your station and pass time there?” Benjamin innocently asked.“What?” Irritation coiled up the officer’s intestines. “You think that the police station is your guest house?” he swung the baton at Benjamin’s legs without hesitation.Benjamin jumped over the couch and dodged the attack. The officer chased him. Benjamin made him ru

“I was so looking forward to coming to your wedding reception, but then it didn’t happen.” “I’m sorry, Evelyn,” Rebecca was talking over a mobile while learning to cook rice with the help of online videos. “A lot of things happened, and… I can’t give you a date yet, but it will happen one day.” “Huh, I thought you would be the last one to get married in our friend group, but you are always full of surprises.” “I didn’t plan for things to happen this way, you know.” “Mm, can you… help me find a boyfriend? They all look the same to me. Give me some advice. You used to date many men in university? How did you choose them?” “Haha. I didn’t choose them. They chose me.” Evelyn sighed. “So I just have to try everyone and then judge?” “There’s no easy way as far I know,” replied Evelyn. “But when you find the right one, your heart will tell you that he’s special.” “Special in what way?” “Well, my guy can sweet-talk, but he doesn’t put up all sorts of facades like most men do. He doesn

“Stop with your nonsense,” Jane yelled at Steve through the mobile in the middle of the night.“Look. I didn’t see them in action, but I sent you the picture, didn’t I?” Steve spoke, trying to reason her. “When he comes home, ask him.”“Ask what? It’s just a picture showing him and a girl coming out of a lodge,” Jane said, frustratingly. “How can you tell from this that they’re even together? They must be coming out at the same time.”“Are you kidding me?” he raised his voice. “They’re not holding each other’s hands, but you can tell they’re walking together, can’t you?”“I can’t, but let’s talk about this. Were you following him?”“No,” he replied without a shred of hesitation. “I just happened to be passing by, and I saw this.”“Yeah. Like I’d believe it. I know you are desperate, but this is too much to the point you’re starting to scare me, Steve.”“T-That’s not my intention,” Steve’s heart felt troubled. “You know that, right? I would never harm you. I was fine when I saw you wit
CHAPTER 131
“If I had known you would hug me for feeding you a spoonful of carrot pudding, I’d have done it every night when I was in the villa.”“Haha.”Benjamin and Rebecca enjoyed the meal together in a cave with a cold but comfortable atmosphere.They toured throughout the Mabel fort and took pictures together. There were no animals other than a few birds, but the visuals from there were quite stunning as the fort was built on top of a mountain. They climbed the famous Mabel hill that had 777 steep steps to the top. Rebecca went three-fourths on her feet, and Benjamin carried her in arms for the rest, embarrassing her quite so much with his overly enthusiastic action. From the top of the Mabel hill, the whole city was up for view.There were stone benches, so they sat there. She prepared fresh lemon water with salt, sugar, and a little bit of grated chili mixed and shaken well. He drank it without a problem, but it was too spicy for her. Her tongue and mouth were on fire. Luckily, she brought
CHAPTER 132
Rebecca was reading private messages on her social media accounts.“Do you do hook-ups? I can pay a thousand per night.”“You’re much prettier than your mother. Please let me lick your toes.”“Can we meet? I’ll do whatever you want.”“I’ll happily pay ten grand for your underwear.”“I earn over 100K a year. Can we go out on a date?”“Are you really married? If not, I can divorce my wife and marry you. Is that okay?”Rebecca was grinding her teeth as she scrolled through the messages. She was not much of a social media person, but she just wanted to check her online profiles once to see how they were doing, but she didn’t expect a long list of messages from perverts.“These idiots have no other business? How can they be so shameless? How can I change the settings so strangers can’t post me messages? I should ask Veronica. She knows better about these things.”She called Veronica, but her sister didn’t answer. “What’s she doing?” she tried again, but there was no response.She put the m

The next morning.Luther tried calling the bodyguard he had assigned to take care of Benjamin, but his mobile was in switched-off mode since last night.Luther came to Artur who had just finished his bath and arrived at the dining table. “He either ran away, or he’s got compromised, sir.”“What do YOU think?”“Knowing the guy, he’s not the type to run away.”“So the son-in-law dealt with him? A war veteran?”“There’s no other explanation.”“Send a batch then. If necessary, you take care of it yourself. I want results before the sun goes down.”“Understood,” Luther was standing appropriately erect, arms crossed in front of the crotch, and still looked relaxed. His eyes exuded confidence as they always did.“Where’s my father? He’s usually sitting here, ready to give me a lecture or two about how a person of means should behave differently with different people.”“Mr. Terry and Mr. Langdon paid a visit, so he’s upstairs, talking,” Luther broke out of his balanced stance and leaned towar
