CHAPTER 90
Rebecca asked Selena about the parrots in the middle of the night, but she said she had no idea about the parrots and told her
to ask the maids who also said they didn’t see the parrots.
Rebecca knew they were lying, but there was nothing she could do now. Limping around the villa, she looked for the birds
herself.
However, Benjamin was the one who first found them. They were lying lifeless in the garden, with dog bites on their bodies, on
both of them
When Rebecca saw the dead birds, her gut twisted. He silently buried them under the guava tree where the couple mostly
played together. She shed tears, but he didn’t. He wanted to break the bones of the dogs, but he felt like he should punish others
first if he were to punish the dogs for acting on their instincts.
As he was walking away, Rebecca didn’t know what to even say to him. Because of her negligence, the parrots died. She felt
sad and helpless. She might be earning millions, but could she bring the birds back to life so she could see her husband smile?
Growing up, she didn’t raise any pets, but the value of the lives of the two dead parrots seemed just as priceless as that of
humans at the moment,
She just followed him with weak footsteps as he went to the dorms. The men’s rooms were almost empty, except one bed and
the luggage on it. It was Johnny’s bed, but the luggage belonged to Benjamin. All the other beds and unnecessary luggage was
already moved to the storage room before the butlers left.
He just stood there, watching the bed. Sitting on the same bed as the one who attacked his wife? The thought itself stirred up his
temper. It felt like Selena purposely did all this. After all, there were empty guest rooms in the villa.
Rebecca entered the room and said, “Benjamin...” she came up to him and put her hand on his shoulder. “I apologize on behalf
of my mom. Don’t take this seriously. I’ll talk to her later Let’s go to my room.” “Your room?” Benjamin smiled, but there was no
life in it. “Yeah, you are right. It was never our’ room.”
Rebecca’s heart sank. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean that.”
“Words don’t easily come out of one’s mouth, Rebecca Lies or truth, whether we mean it or not, every word comes from the
heart,” he said. “But I’m not upset. Like you said, that is indeed your room.” He paused as something kept hurting him inside. “I’m

tired. Can you leave, so I can rest?”
“I’m really sorry,” her eyes teared up. She removed her hand off his shoulder and caught his hand. Please...”
“Sorry, but I’m not stepping into your room again. I’ll stay in these dorms, if you’re okay with that,” he said, without even looking
at her His throat felt tight and made it hard to speak as his eyes lost focus “Or do you also want me to leave this villa and your
life like your mother
Rebecca felt dead for a second. Her mind went blank. Her face turned into a stone, unable to make any expression. Her hand let
go of him.
At that moment, both felt like their feelings didn’t matter to the other. Turning back, she limped her way out as fast as she could.
Benjamin began putting the luggage off the bed, but his limbs felt so weak. A heart-wrenching pain pierced his soul from within,
glistening his eyes with tears. He didn’t cry, but he didn’t put all the luggage down, either. He sat down next to the bed, thinking
he was more of a waste of space in the villa than the luggage around him.
About an hour later. Anous jumped over the wall using a ladder and entered the garden. The dogs recognized him and so didn’t
attack him. He snuck into the dorm rooms. “I should steal some valuable things and leave before dawn breaks,” he thought as he
covered his face with a towel. “I’m sure the men’s dorm rooms are empty now. If I can break into the storage room, I should be
able to
find some valuable things.” However, once he entered the men’s dorms, he noticed Benjamin sitting by the lone bed and looking
straight at him. “H-Hi...” he waved his hand before turning around and walking away. Ten steps later, he ran.( Why’s this useless
bastard here? He didn’t recognize me, did he?) He briefly glanced back to see if Benjamin was coming after him. Luckily, he
wasn’t. But then, because he was running in the dark, the dogs chased him now and ganged up on him from multiple sides. They
bit him all over from head to shoulders and ears. By the time he revealed his identity to the dogs and made them understand, he
was bleeding in many places. Still, the adrenaline was running high. He picked himself up and walked over to the wall, but
because both of his legs were bitten, climbing the ladder itself proved to be extremely hard. “Where are you going in such a
hurry, Anous?” a female voice came from behind, startling him. He looked back in haste but saw nobody. “W-Who is it?” his voice
quivered. The dogs that had been around fled in different directions.
“Stay back,” the voice came from a tree, but something touched his back. “It hurts to see your blood being wasted. Let me treat
you.” He turned back to see, but there was nothing but the ladder between him and the wall. “Don’t go.” The voice came from
another tree.

“T-This voice...” his teeth chattered in trepidation as he recognized who the voice belonged to. He hurriedly climbed the ladder to
jump over the wall, but something caught his hand and dragged him into the thicker shadows under the trees. The dogs kept
barking from a distance, but two glaring red eyes grew in the shadows and made the dogs squeal and bolt back into their cages.
