The next morning. Selena woke up to hear the bad news that Rebecca was also sleeping in the men’s dorms. This was a shock to her.

“Just what did he do for her to become like this?” her gut twisted. She felt like she was losing his daughter. “Killing some parrots clearly wasn’t enough for him. I wish he had a family. Then I would have been able to toy with him.”

When she walked out to the balcony with a cup of cream coffee, a camel was eating the grass on the lawn.

If Benjamin wasn’t there, she would have definitely fallen and injured herself. The camel started walking around the garden at a decent

She felt a little tingle surfing all over her skin for a second, giving goosebumps on her arms. “B – Benjamin…” she said in a bit of a defiant voice. “Mom is watching!” “I know,” he cheekily smiled. “If she doesn’t like what she’s watching, that’s not our problem now, is it?” He parted her hairs and pecked her on the back of her neck, almost making her jump like a spring chicken.
