CHAPTER 78

The next morning

Rebecca woke up and first looked toward Benjamin’s bed which was pulled closer to her bed.” What the… did he bring it closer after I slept?” she touched her forehead for a second. “His hyper activeness is sort of scaring me.”

Benjamin had already gone out, so she was alone in the room. She touched her left cheek, where Benjamin had kissed at least a hundred times the previous night. She could still feel it on her cheek.

“I’ve never been kissed so many times even by my parents as far as I can remember,” she thought. “Had he gone for my lips instead of my cheek…” just the thought made her face flush like a tomato. Her head felt hot. Her stomach had butterflies fluttering. She felt crazy. She grabbed the pillow and covered her face, but that only made things worse as she could hear heartbeat strengthening. “Why am I feeling so tense? It’s only natural for a couple to be intimate, but… what if he asks me to do weird things? What if I disappoint him?” even someone like her knew sex was an important part of married life, thanks to seeing a lot of things while growing up in the villa. “Ugh, I feel too tense.” She suddenly remembered Jane.” Right, she’s an expert when it comes to the matters of bed, so I should ask her. Yeah, that’s better than asking my mom. She doesn’t like Benjamin.” She reached out for the walking stick resting by the desk. “Mm?” just then, she noticed an invitation card beside her car keys. “This is…”

It was the same invitation card Artur had given her.

“I gave it back to him, didn’t I? Then how did it…” she squinted her eyes as her brother’s image flashed in her mind. “Brother Shawn… you really don’t change, do you? You have no problem giving me away to some 40-year-old playboy as long as it benefits you, but what’s worse is that you don’t have the guts to admit it, or should I say you are too smart for your own good?” she was about to tear the card but then stopped. “Wait…” she had an idea. “If I give this to Elizabeth, I’m sure she’ll buy at least a thing or two from your own bank account.” She grinned and then paid a visit to Elizabeth’s parents and talked to them about how she was unable to attend the auction because of her injury and that she had no other choice but to throw the card away.

Nolan and Dorothy completely bought her words and even asked her for the card. She gave it to them and sighed and said, “At least give it to someone who can go and buy valuable goods.” Saying that she left. Nolan and Dorothy laughed among themselves for obtaining a rare invitation card. Meanwhile, Benjamin and Lisa were driving together in a Mercedes. “Do you really want to buy the car for yourself?” he asked. “Or is it for your ‘innocent’ Nate?” Lisa frowned as well as pouted. “What do you have against him? Nate is a cool guy.” “Cool guys don’t take money and gifts from rich daughters. You think I don’t know you steal little things from your mommy’s collections and give them to him?”

Lisa went silent, realizing that if Benjamin was really against it, she wouldn’t be able to buy the car anymore. He knew multiple secrets about her, which she didn’t want her family to know.

“I’m just trying to warn you because your dad doesn’t seem to care,” said Benjamin. “Don’t talk bad about my dad,” Lisa fumed all of a sudden. “He may be many things, but he takes care of mom, me, and Roshan.”
