CHAPTER 02
 

Benjamin entered the villa through the main door while chewing on a pizza slice. This was the same pizza he had wanted to give to the chief driver, though he ended up lying about forgetting to bring it. He took the rest of the pizza to the children’s room.

 

His in-law’s children, there were four of them. All crazy, selfish, and self-absorbed in their own ways, just like their parents. Two of them talked too much, while the other two rarely ever talked.

 

When Benjamin walked in, they were all playing games or chatting with their friends in their own mobiles. Their mobiles looked stylish and up-to-date compared to the crappy old mobile Benjamin had.

 

“Hey, kids. I brought pizza,” Benjamin put excitement into his voice.

 

“Put it on the table and leave,” the oldest of the four, Lisa, replied without even looking. Even though she looked cute with her pigtails and all, her words were always cold and indifferent, even more so than Rebecca.

 

Benjamin did as she said and was leaving. (Not one of them looked at me. They eat the pizzas I bring, but they don’t even call me uncle. None of my friends were this self-centered when we were young. It just shows how poorly these kids were raised, or should I say they weren’t cared for properly?)

 

“Ah, Benjamin, wait,” the second oldest among them, Roshan, called out for him.

 

Benjamin stopped and turned around.

 

“It’s Sunday, so don’t forget to polish our shoes before tomorrow morning,” Roshan said, sparing a glance at Benjamin. The best thing about Roshan was his hair, which didn’t need combing. It was like that of Justin Bieber in his Baby song. However, his character was a thousand times more questionable.

 

“Sure thing,” Benjamin forced out a smile. Roshan was only fourteen years old, two years younger than Lisa, yet he was the one who made Benjamin iron their school uniforms and clothes almost every single day, as told by his grandmother. For a twelve-year-old, he probably had a heart full of hatred because he listened to Rebecca’s mother way too much.

 

Benjamin was walking out silently with a little bit of a heavy heart.

 

“Wait, bring me a slice,” Roshan called for him.

 

Benjamin stood there for a second before turning back with a hot smile on his face. He delivered a slice to Roshan and walked out while licking the sauce stuck to his finger.
