Chapter 50

Benjamin came home and was shocked to see that the stairs leading to the first floor were gone, and an escalator was installed in its place.

“What the hell?” he rubbed his eyes twice, but it didn’t change what he was viewing. Vlad and Mercie were going up and coming down the moving staircase. Seeing Benjamin stupefied, Kathy came over to him and said, “Shocked, right? You should have seen it being built. That billionaire’s son is really crazy. He brought over a thousand workers and built this thing in under three hours. His reason was that he wanted Rebecca to freely move between the floors until her ankle injury healed.”

Benjamin’s blood boiled almost instantly.

Kathy could literally feel the heat coming off of him, and so she kept talking, “He even installed a moving walkway on the first floor so she could free go from her room to the living room.”

“What?” Benjamin hurriedly ran up the escalator, shocking and worrying her at the same time. It seemed reckless, but he wasn’t injured in the process.

As Kathy said, there was a moving platform installed on the first floor that connected Rebecca’s room and the living room along the corridor. Benjamin clenched his fists. While he got angry, he wanted to see what Rebecca thought about all these sudden changes. He entered the room in quick steps.

Rebecca was watching the Lost Love series. “What’s with the escalator?” he asked in frustration.

She paused the video and glanced at him. “I told him it wasn’t necessary, but Brother Shawn gave him permission, so that’s that.”

“But, how are you okay with that?” Benjamin gritted his teeth. “Didn’t he do all this for you?”Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

Rebecca kept staring at him. “What’s wrong with that? He’s just showing his interest in me, and he probably doesn’t know that I’m even married to you. Otherwise, why would he try so hard?”

“Y-You are fine with that?” the acids in Benjamin’s stomach burned. He took a deep breath and tried to control himself. “I feel like this needs to stop. The sooner the better. Please tell him the truth, that you’re married.” “You are overreacting, Benjamin,” she tried to explain. “You look stressed, so go and take a shower.”

“No,” Benjamin was walking out. “I’ll go and tell him the truth myself.” “What?” Rebecca was startled. “Wait, if you go there alone…” she grabbed the walking stick and walked out of the room with effort, but Benjamin was already gone from her sight by then. “Dammit. Why is he so impulsive?” she came back to her bed and called his mobile.

Benjamin checked his phone, but he didn’t answer, as if he did, she might change his mind.

“Tch, this guy…” Rebecca angrily put the mobile away and resumed watching the tv series.” Why should I care if he suffers?”

About an hour later.

Benjamin arrived at the 3 billion dollars worth Bonsbell mansion built on hills and had a huge golf course, two tennis courts with one hard and another grass court, four outdoor swimming pools, including an infinity pool and housed hundreds of rooms. The main gate itself was made of hardened iron, and it opened with the press of a button from the gate guard. Benjamin said he wanted to meet Artur, but the gate guard didn’t even ask if Benjamin had the appointment. He just waved his hand, telling him to leave. “Do you want your boss to fire you tonight?” Benjamin asked while still seated in the driver’s seat. He was currently driving a Mercedes, but it wasn’t enough to catch the guard’s attention. However, Benjamin’s recent words did.

“I’ll tell him your name,” the guard said. “If he doesn’t allow you inside, you better leave without making a fuss.” “Tell him I’m Rebecca’s husband.”

Though the guard didn’t quite get what Benjamin was planning, he relayed the message and then came back and opened the door.

The stone pavement that led through the garden was of high quality. It was neatly maintained with not one fallen leaf anywhere in sight. No matter where he looked, there was a spot that could entertain a large gathering of family or friends. Needless to say, it was a lovely residence boasting outstanding views.

Benjamin’s car stopped by the infinity pool where Artur was swimming with his dogs of eight different breeds.

Once Benjamin got out of the car, he had to wait five long minutes before Artur got out of the pool, completely naked and exposing his junk. There were four maids standing nearby, and two of them helped dress him up while the other two used hair dryers on the dogs. “The Unpaid Maid…” Artur looked at Benjamin in a slightly mocking gaze as he sat in his recliner, “that’s what they call you in the villa, right? If you are willing, I’ll let you work here in my mansion at a decent pay, of course. No one will ever mock you here. You can live with your head held high.” “I was doubtful, but now I’m sure,” Benjamin said. “You knew that Rebecca was married.” Artur faintly smiled. “So? Does that make any difference? From what I hear, you haven’t even kissed since marrying her.”

Benjamin’s face lost some glow, but his pulse was quickening. “Look here. I don’t even consider you my competition, but I’m a good guy, so…” Artur said, snapping his fingers. One of the private security guards came into view and opened up a briefcase. Artur waved his hand, and the guard put the whole suitcase at Artur’s feet. “There’s about 2 million dollars in that case. All 100 dollar bills. Take them and live your life like a king in some small town.”

“So you want me to bow before you to take your money and in return break my relationship with my wife?”

“Take it however you want,” Artur said, biting on a hot dog one of the maids had just given to him, “but 2 million dollars isn’t a small amount. It’d take a lifetime to earn that much with the tips you get from delivering pizzas, don’t you think? You can say I’m also giving you one big tip for your little service of walking out of my way. After all, when the elephants walk, they don’t want to hear the donkeys braying.” Benjamin could feel his own pulse throbbing at the moment. “How can I leave my wife in the hands of someone who doesn’t even ask his guests to take a seat? How can I abandon my beautiful jenny just because a brazen elephant has lost its mind and begun marching at us?” The security guard was about to act, but Artur raised his hand and stopped him. “I guess Rebecca didn’t marry you for nothing,” Artur stood and looked right into Benjamin’s eyes. “I’m starting to like ‘your wife’ more and more.” Benjamin clenched his fists.

“Seeing how you hurried here, I assume you liked riding the escalator, I guess?” Artur purposely taunted Benjamin. “Every time your wife comes downstairs, she’ll remember me. Just the thought of such a gorgeous woman thinking about me is making me horny.” He lifted his hand to the side, and one of the maids sunk into his embrace, and they kissed each other rather violently. Benjamin turned around and was walking back to his car. Artur signaled with his hand to the guards, and a total of twelve private security guards surrounded the car.
