If it was anyone else that had asked for his hand for a dance, Benjamin wouldnât even have thought about it. But the one asking now was Rye, the woman he had spent the most time with up to this point in his life.âHavenât you two danced together already when you were young?â Uzza said, trying to break the ice between them. âWhy are you thinking so much now, Benjamin? Just grab her hand and craft a step or two. Trust me, first love is the best. Thereâs no better feeling than dancing with your first love.ââI donât just want to stop at being just his first love,â Rye said without hesitation. âI want to be his last love also.â She smiled through her eyes and reached out for Benjaminâs hand and grabbed it. âIf you are not going to hold my hand, I will hold yours.âBenjamin pursed his lips. âR-RyeâŠâBefore he could say another word, Rye put her finger on his mouth. âShh, donât act like Iâm asking you to sleep with me. Itâs just a dance. Donât make a big deal over it.âAfter she removed he
Rye wondered why Uzza called her, but to her shock, Uzza was eating plum fruits in a round red hat. Uzza only wanted to share plum fruits with her.Rye could only smile and eat together with her. They did grow these fruits on Sciocidad, but this was her first time eating the ones grown in the outer world.âHow are they?â Uzza asked.âThey are not bad,â Rye said. âBut the ones we grow back at home are like juicy little apples.ââYeah, everything we can find here is like a degraded version,â Uzza sighed. âEven the people areâŠâ she could hear Selena talking with someone on mobile and was talking about Jacob and his drug-related issue. âYouâve lived outside for many months, so what did you understand?ââMm? Well, at our home, we only need to grow trees and plants to live,â Rye opined, âbut in this world⊠people need at least one of the four things.ââWhat are those four things?â Uzza curiously asked.âMoney, looks, intelligence, or education,â Rye said. âIf you donât have at least one of
It had been fifteen minutes since Benjamin talked with Jane, but his head was still feeling hot and heavy. No amount of rubbing his forehead and temples helped him right now.Amber brought a glass full of juice to him and was smiling, âI made sapodilla juice, sir. Please have it and give me your opinion.âBenjamin took a sniff and looked at her. âDid you add elaichi?âAmber was startled. âS-Sorry, I forgot to add cardamom powder. Give me a second.â She quickly rushed out.âShe wants me to announce my break up with Rye first, huh⊠What will Rye think if I do that?â Benjamin kept staring at the glass. âItâs easy to break a glass, but a womanâs heartâŠâHe had already broken her heart once. If he were to upset her badly once again, would she be able to take it? She might be a strong woman, but what if she were to make a stupid decision on the spur of the moment?Benjamin dropped the glass at once. But he stopped it with his foot before it fell to the floor. The glass perfectly stood on hi
Jane went speechless, and her eyes stayed wide open after Rye said those words.Jane looked at Benjamin with a stupid expression, unable to process what was happening. If Rye was Benjaminâs girlfriend, then why did he want to get close to Rebecca? This made her feel crazy.âIs something wrong?â Rye asked, seeing the change in Janeâs expression.âAh, uh, no,â Jane forced out a smile. âI just got caught in my thoughts. Thatâs all. Itâs nice to meet you, Ms. Rye. Your name reminds me of Ryeâs Pizzas.ââThatâs because I founded that company,â Rye said.Jane blinked twice. âW-What? Are you speaking the truth?ââWhy would I lie?â Rye retorted.âThen, does that mean you are friends with Colton Brown?â Jane quickly asked.âColton?â Rye faintly smiled. âHeâs the first employee of my company, so of course I remember him.âJaneâs eyes lit up. âIâve always wanted to talk with him. Can you give me his phone number?ââI do have his number from a while ago,â Rye said, âbut Iâm not sure if heâs still
Selena received a phone call, so she went away.Jane, on the other hand, came downstairs. She saw Benjamin staring at a painting on the wall.âThe sunrise⊠it looks beautiful, doesnât it?â Jane said.Benjamin glanced at her and said, âYeah.â He wasnât sure if she remembered him or not.âBecause of the big buildings, weâre not able to see the beauty of the sunrise everyday in cities like ours,â Jane added. âFor the luxuries we get by staying in the city, we lose out on a lot of what nature has to offer. Thatâs what I learned on my recent trip with my fiance.âBenjamin didnât say anything.âAnyway, Iâm Jane,â she offered a handshake, but he didnât shake her hand. He was a bit disappointed that Jane also didnât remember him. He didnât talk to her much at all, but the fact that she also completely forgot about him was not easy to swallow. Because he didnât shake her hand, she withdrew her hand. (Is he a traditionalist? But he looks modern, though. So why didnât he shake my hand?) Wanting
Jane and Rebecca came out of the room together, holding hands.âYou look really cute, Rebecca. Iâm being honest,â Jane leaned into her and kissed her head. âYou make me want to kiss you.ââI donât even look at myself in the mirror anymore, though,â Rebecca replied.âYou should embrace your current look, as you might not shave your head ever again,â Jane said. âShort hair doesnât suit every girl, but it suits you. Iâm not telling you to stick to short hair, though, because you look so much better when your hair is full. Itâs very silky, after all. Compared to yours, mine is very rough. I donât really like touching my hair, and I wish I had hair like yours.ââYou surely are good at joking. Your hair is nice, too,â Rebecca said.Jane and Rebecca went to the living room, and Jane greeted Selena who seemed anxious. âIs everything alright, Aunt? You seem worried.ââItâs nothing,â Selena quickly said. She didnât want to tell anything about burying Samuel in the backyard. âYou already came ba
After many weeks, Jane came to the Sterling villa. Amber hurriedly came to greet her before she even got out of the car.Amber then gladly took all the sweet boxes and food items that Jane brought from another country. This was something that happened in the past often, so Amber used to look forward to the time everytime Jane would return from a foreign trip. âYou are sure there are no condoms in these bags, right, maâam?â Amber joked with her.Jane laughed a little. âCâmon, do I look like a sex maniac to you? Besides, I committed myself to a man now. So Iâm afraid I canât even touch other men anymore.ââIt must be heartbreaking to you.ââYeah, but it is what it is,â Jane took just one bag and then entered the villa. She was thinking of going upstairs, but then she noticed Benjamin coming out of the kitchen and stopped in her tracks. Her heart fluttered for a second. She rarely ever felt that a man was out of her league, and she felt that way when she saw him. âW-Whoâs this treasure?â
Rye made Louis bring the bodyguards to the dorms first. Lisa wanted to see them get beaten, but Elizabeth didnât let her daughter get anywhere near the dorms.Lisa came to Rebecca who was sitting on the balcony from where they could see the entrance to the dorms. Lisa kept looking there.âAre you not going to school?â Rebecca asked her.Lisa shook her head. âAfter what happened, how can I go to school?ââWhat about Roshan?ââHeâs playing games in his room.âRebecca sighed. âIf you donât focus on your studies now, life will get much harder later.âLisa, however, acted like she couldnât even hear Rebeccaâs words.A couple of minutes passed. Rye and Benjamin walked out of the dorms together. âThey are holding handsâŠââAre you feeling jealous?â Rebecca asked.âI just wanted to be his friend,â Lisa said. âBut his girlfriend doesnât seem to like my presence around him.ââI donât blame her. A guy canât have female friends when he already has a girlfriend, and vice versa.ââDo you really beli
From the rear porch, Selena was watching Benjamin and Uzza bury Samuel in the backyard, and her heart kept swimming in her stomach. âW-What the hell did these two just do? They really buried him. Weâre all fucked now.âShe didnât think theyâd really bury him, so she hurriedly ran to them and said, âYou should pull him out. Heâs probably still alive.ââDonât worry. Weâll take care of the repercussions,â Uzza told her.âNo, you canât. His dad is the president,â Selena quickly said. âWe canât fight a president. Weâll be doomed if he dies, so letâs pull him out.â She tried to dig with the shovel, but Uzza stopped her.âI canât let you do that,â Uzza took the shovel from her. âYou should get back to your room. Let us deal with the aftermath.ââYou donât get it. No matter how rich you are, you wonât be able to stop the military,â Selena said. âWhat if Andrew uses the militaryâs technology to destroy this villa and kill all of us at once?â Just thinking about it gave her chills. âWe wonât ev

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.
