FORSAKEN SON-IN-LAW CHAPTER 115
I sat on my bed as I tried to contemplate what was happening in my life now. I don’t have any powers to defend my family when the woman comes to do whatever she wanted with my baby. Or when the people that were hunting us come for me and my brother.Yes, Void was currently training me, but I also know that will be of little effect judging by the fact that people that wanted me dead were powerful.“You know worrying will take you nowhere right?” Maria walked over and sat next to me — rubbing her hand on my back in a soothing way. “Give all your worries to the one above. And what is even the point of you worrying about this? If you can do something about it, then do it. If you can’t do anything about it, then let go,” she spoke. “I need my husband here. It needs its dad here,” she spoke and put my hand on her stomach.I looked at her and smiled. All that she has said was correct. But I was not just worried about her and the baby. I was scared to fail them. To fail to protect my family.
FORSAKEN SON-IN-LAW CHAPTER 116
I knocked on Roland’s bedroom door. He allowed me in and I found him at the window looking into the sky. For all I know Roland has never paused as a religious person to me, but we aren’t to judge.“Yes, Justine. Do you need anything?” He asked as he turned.“Not really. Just to talk with you. I realized we haven’t been talking for the past few days. As in, getting to know what is happening with the other’s life,” I elaborated.A smile stretched on his face, then he gestured for me to take my sit and he sat opposite me.“So, what do you want to know?” He asked.I didn’t even know where to start, because there have been a lot of things that have happened in the last few days and they all seem to involve him somehow.But first thing is first. My friend Carl.“Why didn’t you tell me about Carl? Have you known all this while he was your son? And did you know why the dread four were keeping him imprisoned?”He sighed and looked down then up at me again. “There are certain things that happen

For a while they both sat there quietly, neither of them trying to attempt to open up. And I had all the time to wait for one of them to loosen up.Finally, Vykalia opened up. “So, me and Victor Roland never knew your parents. We knew them when they rescued us from the Dark Nights,” she spoke looking at Roland. “Those people wanted to kill us, but your parents saved us.” She carried on.“That is how we started working for your parents. But at the time I was never a butler and she was never a scavenger. We just helped them with the people that threatened this city. Something neither of us wanted. And due to that your parents had a lot of enemies.” Roland added.“Who are the Dark Nights?” I asked.They looked at each other for a good five minutes and then Roland began, telling us all about an organization called the Dark Nights. They are well known and they are specialized in the arts of child trafficking and drugs.After Roland and Vykalia saw them and wanted to report them, they kidna

“What do you mean she is not here to apologize?” Maria asked as I took her in the room while grandmother and everyone else waited in the living room.“When she walked up to me she told me she knows where Mateo is,” I told her.“The Matoe that worked with Revoc? Wait, is that man not locked in prison?” She asked. “I thought when they locked her they locked him up as well. And how the hell did she even manage to escape? Justine we need to call the police,” she said as she paced up and down.Then it hit me, if she knows where Mateo is, then he escaped prison or he did something that made them allow him out. Even her. How the hell did she escape prison and come here?She knows I will call the police but she came either way. What game was she playing now?“Let’s not call them yet. Something is not okay here, sweetheart, they are playing another game and I think everything that has been happening is linked to it. The woman that left the latter congratulating us on the baby might be connecte

I didn’t even know what to do or say right now. I mean, all that has been happening just makes sense with what grandmother came to do.Someone was watching us, or hearing whatever we were saying. Because there is no way they would know about my wife being pregnant.And the bad news is that I have no idea what to do. How I will protect my child. I will not be here all the time because I have two companies that I need to run.B it again, I have a child that needs me more than the companies. I have Joseph and Frazer to do that for me. And Dream will deal with the wine company for me.I sat in the room at Pain and Regret’s shop. They were generous enough to allow me to come visit them when I needed space and time to think. At home with everyone, looking up at you, I don’t think that is possible.I just sat there in silence, trying my level best to come up with something to keep me and my wife and our unborn baby safe. I just can’t let anything happen to it. I wouldn’t even forgive myself
FORSAKEN SON-IN-LAW CHAPTER 120
We sat there in silence for a good two minutes after fake Carl stopped laughing at last. Everyone looked scared, and Vykalia was actually crying. The woman I thought was strong was crying. What losing your loved ones can do.I think we all have one weakness. And that is we love some people way too much, that losing them will be detrimental to us. Losing them is something we would rather die than see.And the enemy tends to know that sooner or a later. The man impersonating Carl and the people that sent him knew what impact this will have on Vykalia. They know the impact it will have on me. Let me just say on the all family. Because we all love that bastard.I stood up and walked to fake Carl, who was tied up in the corner of the living room. He looked at me with a smile on his bloody mouth. Joseph defiantly gave him a good beating. But that did not make him speak. He only laughed harder. The man was a psychopath.“At least you should let us know you. The person behind that meat suit.

“Justine, we have no time for this. We need to act as soon as possible because the more time we spend here, the less time my boy has. We have no idea if those people are even giving him food,” Vykalia spoke.I just looked at her, then at the man sitting on the floor. I had no idea what to do next. And that was making me feel like I was a failure.My friend has gone missing, and I have failed to find him. When he could do anything to keep me safe and alive. Heck, they even kidnapped him because of me.And I’m sure if the person that had him was asking him about me, he said nothing. He would rather die than compromise my safety and that of Maria.I sighed and walked to the man. Leaving Vykalia calling me. I couldn’t even answer her questions, even if I stayed. I don’t know what I’m doing or what I need to do here.Just hope whatever I was doing will work in my favor and I will find Carl.“Listen man. I know the person that sent you promised you the world. And there is probably nothing I

I walked into the reverie and it was as I left it. The waterfall was still there and then my eyes stopped at a round table.I knew this table meant more than I was thinking. But how the hell did the instrument of the dread four reach my house? The last thing we knew, it was with Revoc junior before he died. We never really retrieved it from him.“Thought we need to talk,” I called, hoping he was listening. I walked over and stood at the round table. Looking at it and trying to see what was so special about it. How it was able to store the instrument and what the instrument was exactly?Why the hell does that woman want it? She went to the lengths of kidnapping the man’s family and my Carl. And after what she heard about me, whatever it was, she still went and messed with me. That instrument might mean more to her than I think.After a while, Thought spoke behind me, “why did you call me after what Hope told you happened? Death can sense when either of us moves to a new place,” he spok
