12 Years Later: The Son-in-law's Vengeance

A TEMPTING DEAL

Great silence befall the whole place after Jake had shouted angrily demanding Khloe to speak the truth. Looking at the other children, Khloe signaled them to leave and they did so running as fast as they could. Jake didn't care about them. They were the daughters of Anna and Nicole. Of course they would be like that. All that mattered to him was his daughter.

“ Juliet, he is. He is your father." Khloe said as she stared at Jake with disgust in her eyes.

“No. No, no, no. You didn't say anything about my father. Even when I asked you." Jake heard Juliet say.

" Because I-” Khloe said.

" Because she is a liar. There are many things you don't know about so you judge so quickly. I am your father. I didn't even know that your mother had kept you because she said she wasn't.” Jake said.

“ No. It can't be!” Juliet said running away immediately.

Khloe turned around wanting to run after Juliet but Jake caught her hand stopping her. He didn't want her to keep on instigating their daughter against him.

“ What are you doing? Our daughter is going to be in shock. Why did you have to show yourself in front of her right now? Why?” Jake heard Khloe ask making her scoff.

“ Why? Why doesn't my own daughter know about my existence? You told me that you were going to abort her. You said your father was going to kill if he found out and I didn't say anything. I didn't even hate you for it so why! Why are you so cruel, Khloe?” Jake asked.

Suddenly Khloe's phone starting ringing interrupting them. Watching her look at her phone, Jake saw the name on it before she took it. It was her father.

“ He wants to speak to us." Jake heard Khloe say.

Few minutes later, Jake and Khloe entered back into the Fisher family house. The house looked extremely gloomy just like their souls now that no guest was around. Entering Abraham's study, Jake walked in showing no fear unlike before. The first time he had walked into this study was when he had come to tell Khloe's father that he was interested in Khloe. He had been so intimidated by the fancy decorations that he knew he didn't deserve Khloe.

“ What do you want? We were in the middle of a conversation." Jake said as he took his seat in front of Khloe's father.

“ I don't care if the both of you were making love in the garden. I called the both of you here so that I can tell you something. Fine. We will agree to what you want.” Jake heard Abraham, Khloe's father say.

“ You didn't exactly have a choice. I wasn't asking for your opinion." Jake said.

" Do you think it's that easy to just become my son-in-law if I don't want you to? Your recording? It won't do anything to me. But I am going to allow stay as Khloe's husband." Jake heard Abraham say making him laugh.

“ It wouldn't? Then enlighten me. Why are you accepting me as your son-in-law? There must be something else.” Jake said.

“ I heard that you are acquainted with someone that we are against. You are quite close to him. Be a double agent for us. And you will have everything that you want. You will gain the things that come with being my son-in-law." Abraham said.

" Who is that?” Jake asked.

" Zak Franco.” Abraham said.

" Zak Franco? Don't make me laugh. You want me to betray my godfather?” Jake asked.

“ Zak Franco is a very powerful man. He is our rival. Be warned. He is not more powerful than us. You have witnessed it yourself. How powerful we are. I just don't like not knowing anything. I don't like not knowing my rival. That's where you come in.” Jake heard Khloe's father say.

“ You must be mad." Jake said standing up.

" Mad or not, you should know better. Do not play with me. Khloe has custody of Juliet. In that case, she can do whatever she wants to your daughter. I am also her grandfather. I can do whatever I want to her.” Abraham said making Jake walk over to him immediately to meet him.

“ Don't even dare it. Don't even think of touching my daughter! I will not hesitate to be sent back to prison. This time, I'll be the one committing the murder myself.” Jake warned as he glared at Khloe's father.

“ Do you think you can? What can you do? I am giving you a chance." Abraham said smiling.

Leaving the study a few minutes later, Jake came out alone staring around the place. He needed to stay in this house for his daughter. A legal battle for custody would be long and tiring. Juliet would also be dragged in and her life could be turned around because of his past. But his godfather had been good to him. Khloe's father, Abraham Fisher was a manipulative person. Now he had his eyes on Franco and his family. There was no way he was going to let them succeed.

“ Have you made up your mind, Jake?” Abraham asked as he looked at Jake.

“ Yes. I will help you. In exchange, you have to do what you have promised. And I will do what you want. Keep an eye, you said? I will do that.” Jake said.

“ Don't even try to double cross me. I will not hesitate to destroy you if you try it. You must inform me of everything you know first. Like what his assets are and what his family is like. You must know all these things, right?” Abraham asked.

“ Franco isn't someone to talk about his family. I know very little about them. If you want me to get more information for you, I will have to get close to them first." Jake said watching Abraham look at Khloe. Jake knew that he didn't believe him.

“ Are you sure? You really don't know anything?” Abraham asked.

“ You can ask Kennedy. I just met Alexa for the first time today. She and I were getting to know each other when he interrupted us. I'm hungry. Are you going to feed me?” Jake asked.

Few hours later, all of them gathered at the table for dinner making him happy. He would get to see his daughter. Watching her come to the dinning table, Jake got up to help her sit down but she shifted from him going to sit by Kennedy's side. It was obvious that she didn't want anything to do with him.

“ Juliet sweetheart. Do not be disrespectful to your father. Go and sit near him.” Jake heard Abraham say. Although Juliet obviously didn't want to obey him, she did. Just how have they been treating his daughter this whole time?
