Klein took a deep breath to calm his nerves. He did not expect that the beauty who just let him into the house would be met with such confrontation from her family.
" Sorry to interrupt you ma, but I have an invitation card” he said trying to answer Marvin's accusations towards Natalie but Marvin shot a scunful glare that caused him to swallow whatever he had in mind. “What gave you the mind to open your stinking mouth to speak!? Just you know, I wasn't talking to you.” She then turned to face Natalie who bowed her head biting her lower lips. “ But he has an invitation from Grandpa. You know what we have to do in such situations right, else…! “I don't care about the invitation, just make sure this reckless decision of yours doesn't end in chaos, I am warning you now to get rid of this trash!" Marvin had just finished talking when an elderly woman who was in her 60s walked in on them. She was Grace Quinne, wife of Mr Quinne. She hates it when her grandchildren fight amount themselves even though she is often the course of their fights. “What the heck is going on here? She shouted.Are you both trying to kill me? Huh? You both are unbelievably. You both hope my blood pressure goes up again right? Grace said pointing at Marvin and Natalie when her eyes accidentally bumped on Klein who sat comfortably on the chair. She stepped back and cleaned her glasses just to be sure her eyes were not making a fool of her. “Wait, who gave him the permission to trash my living room? Grace screamed walking towards Klein in disbelief. Grace's scream made Klein uncomfortable, he felt sorry for Natalie because it was quite obvious that Grace and Marvin were going to pure out thier anger on the poor lady. Unfortunately for him, her scream succeeded in bringing another person into the living room. She was no different from Marvin. The moment she walked into the living room, she immediately gave Klein a sinister look, that sent shivers down his spine. “ I remember we made it clear we weren't looking for any extra maid nor a gardener" she said. Angela was the mother of Marvin. She looked at him for the second time and frowned. “He looks like a shoe mender, oh it's quite unfortunate we don't repair shoes in this house. Rather, for now, he looks more like trash in this house!” Marvin immediately sneered at Klein then turned to her grandmother to explain how Klein had gotten himself into the house. “Grandma it was Natalie who let him in, even when the maid tried to get rid of him" “Mum, Marvin is right, you need to teach her a lesson she won't forget in a hurry, it seems she only gets dumber as days go by, see what she lets into the house.” She said pointing at Klein with a disdainful look. “You should count yourself lucky to have such a brilliant granddaughter like Marvin. She would never do such a thing.” “Please let the young girl breath, do not pure your anger on her, take a look, I have an invitation card and that's why I am here. I should have been here before now but that's by the way! what matters is I am here now” he said, lifting up the gold card to their faces. They all wanted to bellow at him but the gold card in his hand made them to hold back their peace at least for a second. “Well my husband is presently holding a presentation and after that he is going on a business trip. so he can't attend to you.” The card in his hand was not just an ordinary card so she needed to take a look at it properly in order not to invite her husband's wrath. She gently walked towards him to check the authenticity of the card he was holding. He confidently handed over the gold card to her. And just as expected she shock her head in disbelief. “This is real," she muttered under her breath. Then turned to Marvin and instructed. “go upstairs check if your grandfather is done and notify him, that his presence is needed, he needs to clear the atmosphere” For the first time, Natalie was able to heave a sigh of relief. “They were all seated comfortably waiting for Quinne's arrival. “What could be so urgent that made you request my presence in such a manner?" " Hi hunny, please take a look at that piece of trash over there, do you know him? She asked her husband pointing towards Kleins direction. “Klein Anderson?” Mr Quinne shouted in disbelief. “Klein you are finally here! What took you so long? I have always waited for this day!” Everyone in the living room was stunned, the rag and piece of trash they all insulted actually had a relationship with their grandfather. “Mister Quinne, I am here for you to fulfill your own side of the bargain. Where is the wife you promised me? I accept your offer and I want the wedding to take place in two days” Kleins statement sounded like thunder in broad daylight. Marvin,Angela and Grace were all shocked. When Grace tried to talk, Mr Quinne raised up his hand signaling for her to remain silent. “ That's great Klein, it is not a coincidence that your future wife is seated right In Front of you" looking at Marvin, “my granddaughter Marvin, she is the most intelligent and also undoubtedly beautiful, she is for you” Mr Quinne said pointing at Marvin with a beautiful smile. “No no, grandpa you want to destroy my life by yourself? How could a beautiful me end up marrying someone as pitiful as him? No! I am allergic to poverty grandfather” Marvin wanted to say more but was quickly hushed by her mum Angela .Though she was not in accordance with her father's decision, she also did not have the capacity to talk back after a decision had been made. That has always been the role guiding the Quinne's family. In a soft tone she said “dad Marvin is beautiful and brilliant, there is no doubt about that, but when it comes to marriage, we both know she is far from there. Dad, take a look at Natalie I think she is even more prepared for marriage than Marvin is. Looking at her performance with all task given to her, it is always unsuccessful.! “If you ask me I think she actually let him in on purpose this shows her readiness to get married” Her intentions were to make her father see reasons why Natalie was the best person to marry the despised Klein instead of Marvin. Natalie shook her head in the negative but her position in the Quinne's family was bad enough because no matter the project she laid her hands on, it failed. Marrying a loser like Klein simply means her life was going to remain in a mess for her entire life. She tried to beg her grandfather to see reasons with her but it was too late. Klein raised his head, looked at mr Quinne and said. “Marvin doesn't suit my personality, I will go for Natalie instead.” “Sure thing, Natalie suits you and that's because you two are birds of a feather" Grace said. Looking at Mr Quinne, " What's your final decision? She asked, You choose Marvin while the person in question prefers Natalie” Mr Quinne was a man of few words and his word was law. “Natalie get ready because you are getting married in two days" Marvin and her mum looked at each other and smiled. While Natalie looked at her grandfather with disappointing looks. "You may be sad for getting married to me now my pretty but trust me I will be the perfect husband everyone will desire to have" Klein muttered to himself. " So we now have two toys to run our errands and do the chores!. If we get tired of Natalie, her husband takes her place, I think it's time for us to let the maid go” Marvin, Grace and Eva laughed uncontrollably. “Happy now?" Natalie asked Marvin with weary eyes but was interrupted by his grandfather. “Grace, prepare a place for him to rest and make sure he is comfortable, he is now a member of this family, see you tomorrow" Mr Quinne left and Marvin walked up to Klein. "I will make your life miserable, and that begins from today freeloader!” Marvin said and left.Mr Quinne asked Grace to provide a room for Klein. He had officially become a member of their family. Though the official wedding ceremony was to take place in two days. Looking at Natalie, she said “Since he is going to be your husband in few days, I think it's time you start performing your wifely duties from now on”She ordered Natalie to show him to a room on the first floor in the Quinne's mansion. Natalie nodded in acceptance. “This girl has always made our family name go down the drain as if that's not enough, she is now set to marry such a clumsy lowlife! I wish Natalie was not my real granddaughter” “ Mum, just calm down, you don't need to go through this stress right now. And if I must say, always remember we still have Marvin and some others in the family. she will always elevate our families name that I can assure you. As for that loser and her husband, you don't need to worry yourself about them. She is no different from her Dad.”Angela made up her mind to say it lou
Klein learned by the door and shook his head. There was one big secret about him that only he was aware of. The wedding day is finally here. If not for Natalie's family, the wedding preparation would have ended in shame but with money and connection, that was successfully avoided. Because Quinne's family had all of that. “I just want to remind you to take care of your husband, I don't want him to go out there to embarrass our families reputation because if he does, just know the shame will be on you alone” Grace sent Natalie a message few minutes before the wedding proper. Natalie bowed her head and took in a deep breath before forwarding the message to Klein. With another caption attached to it “hope you heard her properly, make sure to keep your composure. Because this wedding is attended by Grandpa's Friends Nation wide and they are all important personalities. Klein suddenly started behaving like something was bothering him. After shaking for a while, he decided to speak up.
" Waoow our new toy is so talented” Marvin commented while they were having their breakfast. Klain was busy washing the dishes on the sink after the Quinne's family had their breakfast while Zane White was sipping a glass of wine, he had joined them for breakfast. Klein was unfortunately in the wrong place at the wrong time. “Klein get me a glass of water”After an expression of shock as to why he was calling him, Klein turned and continued doing the dishes. But Zane wouldn't let him be. He bellowed on him. “Hey servant can't you hear me? Or have you suddenly gone deaf?" Klein was initially filled with rage but as a nobody in the house of a wealthy man, you have no place to disrespect their guest no matter the relationship they have with them. So Klein quickly cleaned his hands, picked up a bottle of water and a glass, placed it on a tray, obediently, Klein poured the water into the glass and handed it to Zane. Zane took the glass of water in his hand and intentionally let it sl
Later that evening, another ceremony was held to officially welcome Klein into the Quinne's family. It was a ritual for each new members to the family. Klein held a glass of wine and hurried to catch up with Natalie who wanted to greet some of her friends who honored the occasion. He unintentionally smashed the shoes of an elegant young man who was coincidentally drinking wine as well. The wine nearly spilled on him causing him to quickly turn to see the bastard that almost made him stain his expensive suit. “What?!" Emile almost choked on his own spit. “Bastard, it's you again? Wait..! The last episode didn't seem to bother you at all. It's obvious you want trouble, I can serve it to you if you want!? I am very generous!”. “I still have urgent matters to attend to, thanks for coming to my welcome party" Klein muttered under his breath and walked away. But Emile was not ready to let him go just yet. “You bastard, you have no manners at all I am not done talking to you" He delibe
Klein woke up early to do his chores to avoid being punished. He was mopping the floor after having washed the toilets ready to round up for the morning when Mrs Quinne walks in. “Make sure to shape the flowers and dump the trash" a rage of fury filled his chest but he couldn't utter a word. After all he was the live-in son in law of the Quinne's family. Even after two year of being married to Natalie, he still didn't have a place in the home. Even the maid has a better place in the Quinne's family than he did. “Bastard, why are you only rounding up now?” Marvin's mum questioned rudely. “I am sorry but I think I am unusually fast today”A slap landed on his chicks. “How foolish can you be to talk back at me" He placed his hand on his cheek burning in anger but it was the most he could do. " You weakling, you are just an asshole who smuggled his way into our family mansion, I promise you, this house will be hell for you" she said and spat on him. He wiped off the saliva off his f
Klein quickly finished his chores as there was no way he would leave the house without doing them. He quickly got dressed ready to leave but was rudely interrupted by Marvin. “ I need to have my foot washed and nails polished and I want you to do it immediately!"Klein let out a deep sigh then looked at his wrist watch, realizing that he got some minutes to spare, he quickly took off his most expensive dress he had worn to attend the interview ready to get done with her. “ Not bad actually" Marvin commented after having had her nails polished. “ Don't think I am going to let you go that easily" she took the bowl of water Klein had used to wash her feets and turned it over his head leaving him standing like a kid dripping with water. Klein thought to retaliate but then, he also never wanted anything that was going to interrupt his interview. He had made up his mind to get something done with himself so that he can make Natalie proud of him. Noticing that he had just a few minutes t
In the restroom of a Lifan’s tech company, three bodied build men walked in, with a signal, one of the men grabbed Klein and slammed his head against the wall. “Ahhh…” he yelled out in pain but managed to remain silent not to draw the attention of others. “Make sure you scrub that floor properly, not forgetting the pot. I want to see it spotless. After all the only thing that differentiates you from it is the smell” he said triggering a rowing laughter in the room.Klein watched his co-workers leave the room one after the other. When they left the room, he heaved a sigh and brought himself closer to the mirror to see the bump created from the hit. Klein was already used to such treatment from his co-workers and fighting back was not an option as he suffered a lot to get that job. So enduring such treatment was nothing new to him. He was doing his best to endure so he could gather money to take care of himself and also the only man who took him in. He did all kinds of jobs from bei
It was late in the afternoon and Klien was walking down the streets of New York thinking of what to do to survive and pay the bills when his phone rang and when he looked at the phone screen, he realized it was William calling. “Klein.. where are you?! A strange voice was speaking through Williams's phone. " Give the phone to its owner” Klein screamed on the other end of the phone. " Klein, I have considered you as my own family and friend at the same time. How can you then do this to me? I trained you till the point you are in life today. How can you go about looking for trouble and I end up paying for your crimes?!”There was a faint sound of sobbing of Williams. Klein's brows furrowed because he didn't understand what he was actually talking about so he decided to go over to his apartment to understand what he was saying over the phone. Not far away from the house, he saw the neighbors loitering and chatting among themselves he quickly rushed to one and asked “Hey mister can
