Later that night.Benjamin had dinner and was waiting in his room. The newly appointed maid with chocolate looks was cleaning the room, but her eyes were on Benjamin. “Can you tell me how you managed to trap, I mean, make Rebecca fall for you?”Benjamin almost smiled hysterically. “So that’s the first thing you could ask.” He shook his head. “My in-laws think just like you. Everyone in this villa treats me like I’m their enemy even though I’m only trying to be their friend.”Rebecca came home late at nine o’clock, looking tired. The maid quickly walked out.“Should I prepare the bath?” Benjamin asked.“I can do it myself,” she said. “Wait, Jane came to pick you up, right?”“Yeah, she did.”“She didn’t do anything funny, did she?”“No, she didn’t.”“Mm,” Rebecca entered the showver and walked out twenty minutes later, fully clothed. She always put her clothes on in the bathroom itself, so he never even got a chance to peek at her beauty. She jumped onto her bed in her pajamas.“You are

Lisa looked genuinely surprised, whereas Veronica was controlling herself from bursting into laughter because Elizabeth looked like a thousand pound bird crap had crashed upon her and completely ruined her makeup, thereby making her look as ugly as ever.“Who the fuck did you just call an Aunt?” Elizabeth howled in rage and came running at him like an enraged beast.“W-Wait, I can explain this!” Benjamin ran and stood behind the large dining table. When she came from his left, he ran to his right. When she tried to come from his right, he ran to his left.“What’s there to explain? I’m only forty years old, and you dare call me an aunt!” She looked for something to hit him with. She picked the nearest objects, the flower vases, and began throwing those things at him.“I’m not even thirty, and your children call me uncle, don’t they?” Benjamin asked.“Shut up,” Elizabeth didn’t care to even comprehend what he just said. She only wanted to beat the shit out of him in any way possible. “S

In the evening, the parent teachers meeting started, but Benjamin didn’t come yet. Lisa couldn’t blame him after what her mother did to him.“Where are your parents?” one of the teachers passing by asked her in the corridor.“My dad’s on the way, sir,” she ended up lying.Unlike her, Roshan and other two children of Sterling family didn’t need a parent to compulsorily arrive, as their grades were among the top.As she was biting her nails, someone grabbed her shoulder from behind. She looked over her shoulder, and it was the least person she ever expected to come.“Was I late?” Benjamin was sweating and panting. Elizabeth hit all over his body, save his face, so looked clean at the moment. And luckily, he wasn’t wearing the pizza outfit either.“Y-You came…” Lisa was left in a daze.“I gave you my word, didn’t I?” He put his hand on her head. “Let’s go and meet your teacher fast. I need to go back to the pizza hut before 4:30.”“What? There’s only fifteen minutes left. You want to end

At 4:30, a Porsche and a motorcycle stopped at Rye’s Pizzas at the same time. Benjamin and Rebecca kept peering at each other through the glass shielding before them.She opened the door and stepped out for the first time in this place. “Were you working over time?”Benjamin took off his helmet and showered a smile. He didn’t even hear what she just said. He was just so happy she got out of her car.He jumped off the bike like he was full of energy. “Do you want me to show you around?”“No. You know that I don’t like pizzas, or things that have anything to do with bread,” she said, sounding not so interested in having a prolonged discussion.“Y-Yeah. Then you’ll probably not like the smells inside. Just wait here. I’ll be out in two minutes.” He rushed into the nearest hut and came running out before two minutes passed.She was already sitting in the driver’s seat and waiting for him to get in. He stopped at the door outside the second front seat.“Not there,” she turned her back sli

Benjamin’s heart wasn’t under his control from the moment he heard that Jacob and Selena were staying out for the night. As his wife’s words played in his mind, his heart melted. And the faint sounds of the shower swelled his emotions like ocean waves, and he was feeling so energetic all of a sudden.And when she walked out, he asked her a straightforward question. “Can you tell me one thing?”“No,” she said.“Why don’t you speak all that much?” he asked. “Do you have a word limit per day or something?”She didn’t reply.“Again, the same silence,” Benjamin sighed. “What exactly are you, Rebecca? A rose? Or the thorn hiding underneath?”“I’m Rebecca,” she said, getting down on the bed and picking up a fashion magazine. “Just a fashion designer, but if you want me to be poetic… is there a rose without a thorn?”Benjamin paused for a second and smiled. “Rebecca… You are my rose and my thorn.”“Yeah. I know that,” she replied. She had washed her hair, so he could feel her scent drifting a

Benjamin was dreaming about having the world’s greatest wedding until a maid’s voice woke him up.When he checked the time, it was already past nine in the morning. The maid was cleaning the room. His wife wasn’t there.“So it was a dream…” he shook his head. He and Rebecca got married in a small church with only the church members playing witness. Could it even be called a wedding? He wondered. None of her friends or family were present there. None from his side were present, either. While he didn’t hate getting married to Rebecca, the way their marriage happened was forgettable.As he was yawning, he realized that the maid was stealing glances at the bulge in his pants. “What are you looking at?” He covered it with a blanket.The maid anxiously left the room.He had to wait a couple of minutes for his morning wood to calm down. And then he hurriedly prepared and came downstairs for breakfast. He didn’t see Rebecca at the table, so he asked Kathy where she went.“Madam Rebecca alread

“What do you say, my dear brother-in-law?” Shawn showered a pleasant smile as if nothing bad had happened between him and Benjamin only a minute or two ago. Benjamin had seen a lot in his life leading up to this moment, but this professional businessman still left Benjamin in a bit of an awe.He had seen chameleons blending with their surroundings, but Shawn seemed a lot more dangerous than chameleons could ever be. A man who could portray both a sharp and a soft smile at the same time. He was just a scary man to sit next to.However, Benjamin didn’t let Shawn suck him into the flow.“Brother-in-law, the thing is…” Benjamin hesitantly said. “I was saving up the money to buy a necklace for Rebecca.”“Oh…” Shawn was still smiling, but his brows were getting a bit stiff.“I do want to help you, but… I can’t give you more than 10 grand.”“Mm…” Shawn stayed unnaturally silent. The driver could feel the tension rising the moment Benjamin addressed Shawn as brother-in-law, and he was sweatin

Rebecca came home alone. As she was parking the car, Anous acted arrogantly, thinking it was Benjamin in the driver’s seat, and this time received two slaps, one on each cheek.After Rebecca left, he cursed himself. “What rotten luck. Why is this crazy woman parking the car again?” It made no sense, and his stomach made hungry noises as if it didn’t care about his feelings whatsoever.Seeing Rebecca enter the house alone, Selena put aside the book she was reading and stood from the sofa elegantly. “Where’s your disrespectful husband, my little darling?”“How would I know?” Rebecca climbed the stairs without even stopping to talk to her mom.Selena, however, was smiling very brightly. “He must be walking on his way back right now.” She went to the maids and told them to prepare a list of the works that needed to be done, so she could make Benjamin do all that the moment he came home.Selena sat on the sofa and enjoyed her once-a-week cheat drink that was her favorite milkshake with dry
