CHAPTER 25

“What? Can’t you ask the maids to help you?” Veronica suggested. Rebecca’s eyes reddened. “You want me to beg them every time I need to get off my bed?”
“I-I’m sorry. I will help you, so don’t worry.”
“Good. So how about you go to the kitchen and bring me some breakfast? I’m hungry, so we’ll discuss while I eat.”
“Okay. Okay.” Veronica then went into the kitchen that was on the ground floor. It was probably her first time entering the kitchen in months. As she was checking through various refrigerators, looking for fresh fruits, she noticed a small two-layered cake in one of the chambers. The cake itself wasn’t what shocked her, but the words written on the cake were wishing her a happy birthday.
“D-Did Mom make this?” her eyes turned a bit teary. “I misunderstood her.” She happily took the whole cake up to her sister’s room who was slack-jawed from seeing the cake being brought by her tip-toeing sister. “Check this out, it’s my birthday cake! There are pink flower designs on top! This is the best cake ever made for my birthday. Period.”
“Whoa, whoa, wait,” Rebecca tried to calm her. “Wasn’t your birthday yesterday?”
“Yeah, but I didn’t know Mom made me this cake! She didn’t tell me!”

“She didn’t tell you?” Rebecca felt something wasn’t right. While Veronica didn’t blindly trust everything her mother said, she still had no idea the things Selena was capable of doing Rebecca also loved her mother so much until one day she saw her mother maids how she should please Jacob in bed. It was a terrifying experience for her. She thought it was a dream, but no. It was far from being a dream. Perhaps, that’s when she began to lose respect for her parents and became more of an introvert and minded her business.
Rebecca put her hand on her sister. “Mom has been really busy with shooting since the last two months. I don’t think she has the time to make a pastry this cute with intricate designs and all.”
“Then who made this? One of the maids? Still, Mom should have told them to make it, right?” Just then, Kathy entered the room, bringing a bag of fruits and water and medication. “Here’s food, water, and tablets.” She put everything on the table next to the bed.
“How did you know which tablets to bring?” Rebecca asked. “You weren’t here last night.”
“Yes, but Benjamin gave me a list of all things needed early in the morning when I was preparing breakfast,” said Kathy and then looked at the cake. “Oh my,” she covered her mouth and looked at Veronica. “You didn’t cut the cake yesterday?”
Her reaction surprised the sisters.
“You made the cake?” Veronica asked. “Why didn’t you tell me?”
“No, ma’am. I didn’t make the cake. It was Benjamin who made it two nights back,” Kathy said, and the sisters’ expressions froze as they looked at each other. “I heard him tell one of

As Benjamin’s image flashed in his mind, she immediately swatted the cake to the side, and it crashed on the floor, shocking both Rebecca and Kathy. “Why did he make a cake for me? It’s not like we’re friends! No matter what dress I wear, he has a problem with it. He always talks back to me negatively, and he
