The Useless Son-In-Law Is The Overlord /Esther Writes

In ten days, more than twenty workers of the Sanchez empire has been exposed for doing illegal things to the detriment of the empire and they have been sent away or arrested. Ruby doesn't know how the anonymous partner finds this things out, but when he does, he calls her and uses her as his puppet to carry out justice. She has become so notorious with this that the blood of the workers run cold as soon as they see her. “Who is she going to call out now?” “Have you ever stolen a cent from the accounts?” “Does it matter? She will find out and you will be thrown into jail!” If Ruby walks into the place, they would all hold their breath and wait for her to pass. She has become so feared and respected among them that the workers now gather together to get her breakfast and lunch at her office. It baffled her at first, she rejected it, but they insisted. Their respect for her grew through the roof. Mister William Sanchez is not happy with this. It's his empire after all– it's his

Ruby did not dress too much for the dinner, she doesn't want to give James Jackson the wrong kind of impression of herself. She is not being intimidated by him at all. She doesn't care for him that much, all she cares about is that he likes her work and would want her to handle some building projects for her. It's not all about the money for Ruby. It's about getting into influential places. She doesn't want to continue being known for her connection to the Sanchez family, she also wants to make a name for herself. So she doesn't mother with makeup. She puts on jeans pants and some loose blouse. She wears the plainest cover shoe that she can find. It would probably be an eye sore to a fashionista, but she knows exactly what she is going. Finally, she packs her hair in a messy bun. Grabs her laptop and phone, then she hops into her car. It's dusk. The sun is going to sleep and half of the city is trying to get back to their houses at the same time. Despite the rush and angry honk

James' countenance changes as soon as he sees Saint. Why is it that Saint seems to appear out of the blue and right into his business? Saint smiles and gently squeezes Ruby's shoulder as he takes a seat next to her. He holds her hand, an assurance that he is going to protect her. “Saint,” James says with a pressed smile. “What are you doing here?” “I should be asking you that,” Saint answers. “There are more chances to see you in the night clubs, in the arms of strippers, than to see you in a respectful restaurant.” It's an insult, but James leans back and shakes with laughter, inwardly, he wants to kill Saint. “You are very funny, my friend. Now, I would have loved to keep on listening to your clownish talks, but you are interrupting my dinner with this fine lady.” “You are not interrupting anything, Saint, the dinner has been long over.” Ruby says. She is sweating, she is thankful for Saint that has come out of nowhere to save her. “I thought as much when I saw the uncomfort

Ruby was shaken by what James Jackson did to her. His family was a very rich one, they were very respected. She heard many silly things about him, but she chose to ignore because he looked like a nice guy and she thought it was going to be strictly business. To think that even Adriana warned her, but she chose not to listen. She left the building with shaky hands and her eyes watering with tears. What if Saint wasn't here? What would have he done to her? Saint comes out of the door, his hands in his pockets. He walks up to her and puts his hand over her shoulder. “Are you okay, Ruby?” He asks her. “I'm fine.” She sniffles, even though there are no tears in her eyes. “It's just that I have never been more terrified of a man in my life.” With gentle eyes, Saint positions himself before her. “Don't worry, James Jackson is just a loser. He won't bother you again.” He tells her. “What did he want to know from you?” Ruby shakes her head as she hangs her bag on her shoulder. “It was

Ruby can't believe what she has heard, her lips won't stop quivering. Why didn't Andrew tell her that the house that she was relieved was theirs, was bought on a loan? It would have hurt her greatly, but she would have preferred to hear it from Andrew's mouth. The anonymous partner can hear her tears, she is trying so hard not to cry, but this news has shattered her beyond repair. “Did you hear what I said, Miss Ruby?” The anonymous partner asks. “I heard you sir.” She nods, even though he can't see her. “Good. So, I will urge you to keep that in mind and work even more diligently for me.” He says. “Because at the end of the day, you have many things to lose.” He is so right about that. If he decides that she can't work for him anymore, that means that he can ruin her life. With one snap of his finger, they can go back to being homeless. She takes deep breaths in and she shuts her eyes as she allows herself to calm down. “I will continue to work for you diligently, sir. I won

All eyes suddenly turn to Ruby. She holds her mouth open, but because this is news to her, but because she doesn't know how Adriana was able to get her hands on such information. No one knew of this, she didn't tell her parents or even discussed it with Andrew. How does Adriana know this?! She sees the smirk on Adriana's face and it immediately makes her tighten her jaws. Her parents look so shocked, Ruby feels like she has failed them by not telling them. Her father holds her mother's shoulder as she breaks into tears. “Ruby, why didn't you tell us?” Thomas whispers. His face is contorted with pain. “I'm sorry,” she sniffles as she looks at the ground. “I didn't want to disappoint you guys, we were all… happy.” “Ruby, you are never a disappointment. We will love you no matter what…” her mother cries into her handkerchief. Adriana hisses so loudly that everyone turns around to look at her. “Please no one has time for your emotions and all that crap. I'm just saying that so tha

The whole place is turned upside down in a matter of seconds. Everyone knows that the Jacksons are very dirty business men. They have goons to do their dirty work for them. James has brought almost twenty of these men and they are tearing the place down. The damages they are doing will cost millions of dollars to fix. Ruby looks around, her heart racing. Her parents are pressed against each other, not sure where to turn to in this chaotic environment. Ruby takes out her office key and quickly tosses it to her father. “Take mum and go to my office immediately!” “Ruby, this is dangerous, come with us!” “It's me he has come for! Go!” Ruby screams at them. Her parents don't want to leave without her, but they don't have any choice. They turn around and disappear. Ruby blinks as she sees Mister William and Adriana. Their security is taking a while to come and that's probably because they went to confront James' men and he ended up giving them a beating. “Go!” She urges them. “You

Jasper and Adriana look like they have seen a ghost. Jasper has been warned by his father to stay away from James. Adriana and James start to take steps away from him. He has come with five men and they are holding scary weapons in their hands. “Look, Jasper, we can't help you. I don't know anyone's name.” Adriana says. “Please, leave us alone?” “You?” Jasper laughs as he points at her. “You think I'm here for you? How fucking dumb can you be? I'm here for your boyfriend, Jasper Banks.” Jasper feels a jab of electricity through his body. Why is Jasper looking for him? He notices the way that Adriana is shaking, he wonders what has happened before. Apart from their former encounter when James Jackson tried to molest her, they haven't had another encounter. “You know, you've been on my death note since you I saw you that day.” Jasper sucks in air between his teeth. “But that's beside the point.”“Jasper doesn't know anything!
