CHAPTER 03
 

At night.

 

Almost everyone from the family gathered at the dining table and began eating, all except one who was still standing and serving food for others.

 

He was the only son-in-law of the Sterling family, yet taunts and mockings were flung at him every other minute. Even the children took part in it enthusiastically.

 

Sunday was a cheat day, so Selena was gorging on everything her hands could get hold of. While everyone sitting ate their fill to the point of burping twice or thrice, nobody offered Benjamin food or told him to sit and eat, not even his wife.

 

He was hungry, but he was fed their trivial talk peppered with lies. He had to listen to them exchanging lies to one another. For instance, the children lied the most by hiding things they were doing. Lisa was chatting with her boyfriend since afternoon, but she lied about that. Roshan was watching exclusive stripping videos since evening, yet he acted like he was doing his homework. The other two children, who were much younger, also prepared their own share of little lies when in fact they had been watching gory videos on the internet.

 

After everyone finished with their meals, all except Jacob started speaking about the good or worth-mentioning things they had done on that day.

 

Selena said she pulled off an excellently emotional acting scene of blackmailing her ex-husband in the movie, and it indirectly gave Jacob goosebumps.

 

Shawn, the eldest son of Jacob, said, “I’ve received 70% commission after two of my clients applied for their life and vehicle insurances.”

 

Louis, the second son, spoke, “I and my wife were focused on our business, as usual.”

 

“I’ve created a new bikini model,” Rebecca said. “Waiting for it to be accepted.”
