Chapter 92

CHAPTER 92 The hitman grabbed his hidden knife and swiveled fast, but a dagger had pierced his heart before he could do anything. He felt utterly helpless as he looked at his killer.

The one holding the dagger had his face covered with a black cloth from the top of the head to the bottom of the nose, and it didn’t look like a see-through cloth, either. He then twisted his wrist a bit before pulling the dagger out.

“Who in the world... are you...” the hitman fell and lost his life, with his eyes open. Shadow wiped the blood with a cloth before sheathing his dagger. He stared at the villa. “You told me to leave, but I have orders to keep you safe, Lord.” .

He took the binoculars and looked at the pool. Amber was still swimming. “What the-“He put the binoculars down. “Why is she swimming naked? What sort of a woman does that?”

At that moment, Anous’ wife came to the villa and began asking for her husband, but the gate guard told her he left the villa last night itself. She wanted to talk to Elizabeth, but he didn’t let her in. She could only curse him as she left.

Meanwhile, Benjamin ate the whole of the breakfast pizza his wife had personally cooked for him.

“How is it?” she asked because he didn’t tell her how it was. His poker face didn’t help her decipher for herself, either. Benjamin just shook his head slightly. “Is that so?” she was a little disappointed, though she didn’t show it. “It’s not that hot today. Let’s go to the beach.”

Benjamin just stared at her to see if she really was being serious about going to the beach. “What? Since Powell’s body was taken for inspection, we can’t even visit him today,” she said. “I know it’s not the right time to go to the beach, but we’ve been going through a lot lately. So I think it’s necessary to get some fresh air from the ocean.” “You’re right, sis!” Veronica backed her sister. “I’ll go and tell Mom to prepare for the trip. She loves going to the beach! She’ll be thrilled.”

In a matter of minutes, the maids helped prepare the luggage in three cars. Because it was the weekend, even Elizabeth and her family packed their luggage.

However, to everyone’s shock, Selena’s motorhome entered the villa, and they had to shift the whole luggage into the huge vehicle. The customized interior of the motorhome was way too luxurious than the kids imagined, packed with beautiful decor and comfortable furniture. Lisa and Roshan thanked their grandmother for bringing this vehicle in time. They even kissed her multiple times after using the espresso machines and the vehicle took the road and offered ultimate comfort.

The king-sized bed was of course occupied by Elizabeth’s parents first, which Selena didn’t like. She showed them the wine rack and the bookshelves to get them off the bed so she and her daughters could now occupy the bed for themselves. Nolan and Dorothy could only smile before sitting in the slender yet sturdy teak chairs. “It’d have been nice if Jacob and Shawn were also there. And Louis and his wife and kids, too.” “It can’t be helped,” Elizabeth said. “Shawn is extremely busy these days, Mother-in-law. As for Louis and his family... Well, we know they never go out for vacation, so that’s that.”

“Mm,” Selena glanced at Rebecca and put her hand on her daughter’s head. “A lot has happened in one day. Use this time at the beach to relax. Stay with us, not with your useless husband.”

“H-He’s not useless, Mom,” Rebecca spoke back “Isn’t he driving this vehicle while we’re sitting here comfortably?” “Well, compared to us, he’s still useless,” Selena didn’t want to admit that Benjamin was even a little useful.

Rebecca saw her mom sending the driver away so she could demand Benjamin to drive the motorhome. With him driving, she couldn’t spend time with him. Even though she wanted to sit next to him, her mother kept holding one of the arms and didn’t let her go where she wanted.

Rebecca didn’t like getting controlled and manipulated by her mother to this extent. The more her mother went out of her way to meddle with her married life, the more Rebecca felt like separating herself from the family.

Rebecca gave it a long thought last night. After Selena tossed Benjamin’s luggage out of Rebecca’s room, she lost a lot of respect for her mother. If things stayed like this, her relationship with Benjamin would never get better. So, she had decided to buy a new house and move there with Benjamin after the wedding reception.

“This is for everyone’s good,” she thought. It took them two full hours to get to the destination. An ocean of clear blue waters, and the fresh, salty breeze lifted everyone’s spirits the moment they got out of the motorhome.

Some people noticed Selena and came for her selfies, but she coldly rejected them, saying she couldn’t waste a few seconds on them when an important beach experience awaited her. Still, some shamelessly kept asking her for selfies. Rebecca asked Benjamin to deal with them. Though he didn’t want to, he had to step in.“ Don’t bother my mother-in-law, fellas!” he yelled at those who tried to get a bit too close with her. “Have some decency with someone who is on permanent menopause!” While his words shocked the Sterling folks, the others who heard it were amused.

“Trashmin, you worthless freeloader...” Selena’s blood boiled. “You better stay out of my sight, or I’ll lose myself.” Benjamin looked at the ocean. “Isn’t she the biggest beach in the country?” He made the word ‘beach’ sound more like ‘bitch.” “No wonder its waves are always quite rude. It looks beautiful on the outside, but it holds some hideous creatures on the inside. Horrifying.

Truly horrifying.”

HENCE His words drove her nuts. She lashed back at him. “When you die, I’ll be the first to take a leak on your grave!” “But you’ll die earlier than me, though,” replied Benjamin. “And when you die, I’m sure all the dogs in your villa will be very eager to poop on your grave.” “You...” she tried to slap him, but Rebecca stopped her in time. Veronica also joined and took her mother away and told her to calm down.

“What is this, Benjamin?” Rebecca got mad at him. “Why can’t you control your mouth a little? I know she isn’t perfect, but didn’t your mother teach you to respect your elders?” “My daughter deserves someone so much better than him!” Selena yelled from a distance.” I’ll be so glad when he’s gone from her life!” Rebecca shook her head. She wanted to have some peace and quiet at the beach, but she was starting to have a headache. Seeing Rebecca getting disappointed and frustrated, Benjamin picked her up into his arms and ran on the beach.

“W-What are you doing, Benjamin?” she was surprised and shocked. “He’s taking Aunt Rebecca somewhere!” Roshan and Lisa yelled, alerting Selena who had briefly taken her eyes off her daughter, but now she gave them chase. “Wait, stop right there, Trashmin!” she ran as fast as she could, but running on the wet sand proved tougher than she thought, especially with the wind whipping at her from every direction. “Where are you taking her? Let my daughter go!” Her loud voice still reached them, but not for long though, as the waves muffled her speech more and more as the distance between them increased. However, she didn’t stop running until she pathetically collapsed.
