Despised Son-In-Law's Legendary Rise To Power

Chapter 9

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 face and left for his room. 

Klein and Natalie had been married for over two years but they had not consummated their wedding. Though they shared a room, Natalie had the bed all to herself while Klein made use of the floor. 

“my Dr Nat, your family has really trained your husband well, even without your concert” Klein overheard Natalie's phone conversation when he walked into the room. 

Natalie sighed deeply. “Are you talking about Klein? The mere sight of him makes me sick. Other girls get lucky to marry wealthy men and into influential families, I guess is just my luck to be stuck in such a relationship that only cause me pain” 

“But…”

“Look at how uncouth he is, just one look at him is enough to tell he is a peasant. I just want to stop blaming myself for letting him into our home that fateful day”

“Well…” Mira couldn't find words to comfort her friend in moment of grief. Indeed Klein looked like a peasant. Just their meeting on a few occasions, Klein was always dressed in bargain goods. 

“I guess I have just been destined to be a failure all my life. No matter what I lay my hands on will eventually fail. That is why my family do not waste the least opportunity to place any attempted failed project to me” 

The words of Natalie made Klein feel pity for her but there was nothing he could do at the moment. 

On a second note, she noticed that Klein, who had not completed his task, was eavesdropping in on her phone call. She shot him a sharp angry stair and said coldly. “Klein, who said you could be here? Get lost and have my clothes washed, you keep showing up at the wrong place and at the wrong time”

Stepping out of the room, Everett throw a bunch of cloth on his face “I need you to wash and iron my clothes, mind you if any get destroyed, you will pay with your life" 

Klein dared not to complain, he proceeded to put the clothes into the laundry machine"  but he was met with yet another confrontation. 

“You will have to do those with your hands, a useless trash and a freeloader like you can't keep wasting resources in this house when you don't spend a dime on bills” 

Klein lowered his head and sighed. Washing, cleaning the rooms, and cooking has been Klein's chores ever since they got married. Once, he accidentally broke a bowl while washing it after a long day of hard work and he was barated by Grace for close to two hours. He was even insulted for his inability as a man to secure himself a job. 

It has been two years now and Klein refused to get used to the lifestyle. But again, who else did he have to blame but himself for becoming a live-in-son-in-law. Just to save mister Williams. If only he had stayed back and looked for a job he wouldn't have been in such a huge mess he thought. 

During this time, countless humans from the Quinne's family scolded Klein and treated him like an object of entertainment. Some called him mad and stated that he was harboring bad intentions of wanting to swaddle their families fortune and they will stop at nothing just to prevent it from happening. 

Klein did everything within his power to keep his attitude in check so as to get ready for his job interview. His only guidian and friend had successfully applied for a job on his behalf and he needed to attend the interview. 

“ You are up so early, I hope you don't plan on creating any scene today" 

He looked at Natalie and shook his head. 

“Today is my first interview after a long while. I need to get up early and put in a little effort to look presentable at my very best.” he said to himself. As he was busy thinking about his interview that morning, his thoughts were immediately interrupted by the heavy bang on the door. 

“You good for nothing freeloader how dare you destroy my blouse with those thorns you call hands?!, you will pay dearly for what you did to my clothe, I don't care how you would do it" 

Everett said and left. 

" I need to get this job no matter what it takes," he muttered underneath his breath trying to round up.
