Since Benjamin started the delivery job, that day proved to be the second-best day in terms of earnings.When Rebecca came to pick him up in the evening, Benjamin scuttled over to the car and stood by the front door to talk to her instead of entering through the back door.Rebecca lowered the window and stared at him. âWhat?ââLetâs go to a restaurant. Iâll pay,â Benjamin said excitedly. He clearly remembered her telling him that she wouldnât let others pay for her, but he still asked her anyway.Rebecca paused for a moment and said, âFine. Get in.ââGreat,â Benjamin came to the other side of the car, but she told him to go to the back, so he had to sit in the back. âWhen are you going to let me sit in the front? Iâm just asking.âRebecca stopped the car.Benjamin looked to his left and realized that the car stopped in front of a five-star hotel named âFrills.â âD-Donât tell me, weâre eating at this hotel?ââWhy? You canât pay?â she asked.âU-Uh, I can, butâŠâ as he was saying, Rebecca
Benjamin delivered twenty pizzas and received a hundred dollar tip, which made him a little happy.âWhat should I buy with this money?â he wondered. âHow about I save some money and then take her to a restaurant? But I donât know how much she spends per sitting, so how much should I save? A thousand? Two thousand?âIf Rebecca spent thousands of dollars on her shoes and tens of thousands on her goggles, then how much would she spend at a restaurant?After some thinking, he thought, âHow about I take her to a simple restaurant? Even if she eats a lot, it wonât cost more than a hundred dollars.âA few seconds passed as he drove down the street.âBut will she come to a small restaurant? She did come to Pure Waters which isnât quite a luxury place. So, I canât take anything for granted.âSoon, he reached the pizza hut and was in a good mood. But he was still careful in that he didnât want to tell anybody how much he received through the tip as the manager Christopher would get very jealous
Rebecca stopped the car at a junction.A couple of school girls quickly came to the car and knocked on the door.Rebecca slightly lowered the window.âPlease drop us at our school, sister. We have exams today,â one of them said.âDid you miss the school bus?â Rebecca asked.They both nodded quickly.âCouldnât you take a taxi then?â she asked.âThey ask for a lot of money. We donât have that much money,â they said.Rebecca smiled and said, âAlright, get in.âShe opened the doors. The elder sister sat in the front. The smaller one sat in the back.The elder sister kept talking about how difficult her school life was. Every time theyâd miss the bus, they would be afraid to go back home as their parents would yell at them.The smaller sister, on the other hand, was looking at Benjamin like she couldnât take her eyes off him. She was smiling, making him wonder what she was thinking.âYou are so beautiful,â the little girl said smiling brightly.Benjaminâs heart melted for a second. âOh, th
Everyone was having breakfast.Benjamin was eating faster than everyone because he hadnât eaten anything in almost two days. Even though he was not a fan of his own cooking, right now, anything would do.Nobody even wanted to bother him because he seemed immersed in eating. At least, he didnât make much sounds, so they didnât complain.Eventually, Benjamin was the first to finish eating. He quickly took his plate to the kitchen, washed it, and then returned to his seat so that he could sit next to Rebecca and look at her.Rebecca was acting like she was not noticing, but she was obviously not liking what he was doing. She glanced at him and said, âWhat are you looking at?ââA living treasure,â he replied.âCringe,â Veronica said aloud.âWait a second,â Benjamin pulled dollar bills and coins out of pocket. âSister-in-law, I have about a hundred dollars here. How much do you need to buy a pair of pants?ââHuh? What are you talking about?ââI mean, you are wearing scanty clothes because
The next morning.Rebecca woke up and got off the bed.Benjamin entered the room with a glass of hot almond milk as if he knew the exact time she would wake up. This annoyed her, and she said, âI donât want it. Take away.ââWhat? But said you loved it,â he said.âI never said that,â Rebecca really never said that before. She said it was good, but she didnât remember saying something like âI loved it.ââBut you drank without complaint,â Benjamin retorted. âI thought you loved it.ââDonât make me repeat myself,â she indifferently said. âIâm not drinking that. You can pour that in the sink or toilet if you want.ââWhy would I do that?â Benjamin sipped on the milk, and the sound he made while at it annoyed her even more.âDonât make noise while drinking!â she raised her voice. âItâs disgusting.âBenjamin then silently drank. However, he made a joyful expression with his eyes closed as if he was loving the milk.âUgh,â Rebecca quickly went into the washroom, not wanting to see his antics a
Benjamin washed the dishes, then the clothes, and then he polished the shoes before finally coming to Rebeccaâs room. It was nine at the time.The others had dinner, but he didnât.âWhy didnât you eat dinner?â he asked her.âDidnât feel like it,â she said while drawing dancing dinosaur designs.âThey look cute, though theyâre not real,â Benjamin said.âDinosaurs are real,â she replied. âThe scientists found bones of these beasts in many parts of the world.ââWell, those were the bones of the giants and dragons and other beasts, but not the dinosaurs which are nothing but fiction,â Benjamin said.âFictional, you sayâŠâ Rebecca scrutinized his eyes. âWhy do you sound so sure?ââBecause Iâm speaking the truth.ââHuh, you canât give a better answer than that, can you?ââNot right now, but one day, I will show you the truth,â he replied. âHopefully.â As he observed her drawings, he understood that she was mixing three concepts. âSo you are working on dinosaurs, outerspace, and the mafia.â
Benjamin rushed over to the dog cages, making Rebecca wonder what he was up to. She normally stayed far away from the dog cases because she didnât like the smell of the dogs or the cages, but she realized that something was wrong. So, she came a little closer to observe what was going on.All the dogs were bleeding from their mouths and noses. One of the dogs had its eyes completely turn red as if something badly hurt her.âW-What happened to those dogs?â Rebecca asked. âDid they fight each other?ââNo,â Benjaminâs voice was serious. âGlass pieces got into their skin and mouth.ââHuh? Why would they mess with glass?â she wondered.âThey wouldnât,â Benjamin looked around and eventually found the bucket. He saw that glass was mixed with the meat chunks. âSomeone mixed glass pieces with meat before feeding it to the dogs.âRebecca was utterly shocked. âNo way. Who would do such a thing?âBenjamin looked at the dogs, but they didnât seem to know the answer. âOliver feeds them, so we shoul
Rebecca was very frank about punishing Benjamin and also punishing herself at the same time for what happened on that night.However, was she also punishing her own family members by bringing Benjamin into the villa?Was that why she never directly supported Benjamin so far?What was her past?What happened for her to be thinking in this manner?All these thoughts ran through Benjaminâs mind. While he did have the ability to read thoughts to an extent, he did not want to try that on his own family members.âAnyway, if you want me to become a CEO, Iâll become one for you, Rebecca,â Benjamin said. âBut if you want me to do it for my in-laws? Iâm not so sure about that because the one Iâm supposed to share my life and my body with is with you, not with your family. Iâm trying to lower their importance, but you are far more important to me than them. I hope you understand my point.ââSo youâll start a company if I want you to?â Rebecca asked.âWhy not?â Benjamin said casually. âIf I own t
Rebecca and Benjamin reached the villa. She stopped the car but didnât open the door.âIs everything okay?â he asked.âAh, yeah,â she hesitantly said. âIâm just wondering about the pizzas from Ryeâs Pizzas. They smell good, but Iâm sure the tomatoes and other ingredients that are added in there are brought up using pesticides, right?ââActually, no,â Benjamin quickly said. âThe founder of the company has made it a strict policy that only fresh, organic items need to be bought. So, all the grains, vegetables, and fruits were bought directly from the farmers. Thatâs why I think this company canât become a bigger one because itâs very hard to supply to a larger scale of customers with the amount of organic food stock they can acquire from the farmers. Quality will have to be compromised if it wants to supply pizzas, letâs say, country-wide or even state-wide.ââI seeâŠâ Rebecca nodded.âWhy are you asking that? Do you want to taste the pizza once?ââN-Not really,â Rebecca hesitantly said.

La Shaun Gibson
This is a very good book. The updates are not consistent. Maybe the author should concentrate on one or two stories at a time instead of updating the six unfinished books. As an active reader, this is frustrating, and it almost makes you want to stop reading.
