FORSAKEN SON-IN-LAW CHAPTER 123
We sat in some kind of common room. Her at a higher chair that was at the stage, while I sat on the bench side facing her.How the hell did she even manage to build an entire empire? And what exactly was she doing that was making her reach thus far? I knew she was a woman of higher status and that is what she liked most. But how did she manage it?She allowed all her guards to leave us alone, telling them I would never hurt her. For the reason she believed me to be years ago. Things have changed. And so has times.Let me just say, circumstances. She smiled as I kept looking at her.“Justine, it’s me. I know you have questions and I will answer them. But now we need to focus on what matters. On your Carl,” she spoke. “Also, your in-laws suck. How the hell did you even marry in that family?” She asked.“Because there is a bigger difference between you and Maria. That is why I have to deal with that crappy family. But I’m here for Carl. And why the hell would you kidnap my poor cat? What

“So, your baffling x-girlfriend is the one that kidnapped Carl?” Maria asked as she made the bed.I walked to her from the balcony, “yes. And let’s not forget she is your friend. Best friend, for that matter,” I told her.“That friendship died a long time ago, Justine. And why did you leave her alive? She was able to kidnap Carl, what makes you think she wouldn’t do worse?” She spoke, touching her stomach.I just smiled and walked to her, wrapping my hands around her from behind, “because Mateo is dead. And my in-laws can do nothing without him. Monica doesn’t have powers and neither are your parents. So, they are out of my hair for now,” I told her, feeling a wave of relief.The man that I was scared could do something to my baby was dead. He was the real threat and the person grandmother threatened me with.Leaving both Monica and my in-laws vulnerable. I can leave them for now.

The day finally reached, and we stood before them. Me, Maria and Carl ready with our bags stood in front of the rest of the family.Carl finally decided where he wanted to go after two days.

How did this even happen? How did Pit happen to be the grandson of the person I was supposed to stay with during my holiday with my wife? This just made no sense to me at all. And I know Pit knew somehow that me and my wife were coming here.I looked at him as I paced up and down in the living room. Jacob and his wife, Amanda, chose to leave us so we could talk. They knew something was up with us, but did not press on the matter. They left us to deal with it alone.The only thing Jacob said was to always remember that you can make a change in life. To trust and believe that everyone can change.And that had struck me. He knew the exact words to use. Did he know what his grandson did to me and my wife? Or he was just a wise old man and knew exactly what to say at the right time?Maria just sat there, trying to soothe me and gesturing for me to calm down. While Pit stood a distance from us. Not daring to say or do anything. He just stood there, waiting for his verdict.“What are you doi

We sat at the dining table as Maria helped grandmother to prepare dinner. The woman was in her late forties. And I have got to say, the old man chose wisely.She looked and acted nicely towards us. Like we knew each other from years back. Like we were family. And acted accommodated towards us. Making sure Maria was comfortable because she was pregnant and she was giving her tips on having her first child.They were nice people, and I wonder what went wrong with Pit’s father. Why, he was who he was. A greedy man that wanted nothing but what benefited him. And he was willing to do about anything to have what he wanted.And after their deal with Revoc, I have never heard from him. And seeing Pit here was giving me bad vibes about what his father was up to. I was not home and he could think of trying to ruin my business. But the people I have left in charge will not hesitate to kill him. Frazer was a person of attack, then ask questions later person. I was sorry for him and I tried giving

The idea of me and Pit been friends again was suddenly sounding better to my ears. Never did I ever think we will be together again after what he did. I guess this trip has helped me to change. Also, his grandfather played a part in it.And I was trying my level best not to think of him to be a problem later. Because that was something I was trying to do with my step-brother.Always try to see the bad in people because they did something bad. Always thinking at one point they will snap and they will leave me to pick up the pieces.After last night’s discussion with him, I have never slept better. It was both good and memorable. And I just hope. He will do nothing bad.“Is Death here,” I heard a man ask.Looking to the side, I found Hope standing a good five feet from me. “What the hell are you doing here? And no Death is not here. You need to leave,” I told him, walking to him.He looked at me in an annoyed way, “you keep mentioning me. I had no choice but to show up here. And where a

He finally stopped as we reached some sort of cafe. But it looked to be a place for all kinds of food. Because people seemed to be eating and drinking more than snack and coffee.We left the car after he parked and walked to take our sit. Then a woman about Maria’s age waved at us.She was blonde with a tanned skin. So it looked. Then she tied her hair into a ponytail and it seemed to be long because it was reaching somewhere below her behind.She put on a very short dress, if she was home, they would have been talking about it. And matched it up with sandals.“She is pretty,” Maria spoke. “I like her,” she walked fast, waving at the woman back, leaving me and Pit alone.“Please don’t blow this out. For the looks she has passed. I like her. And yes, you are going with her if she passes everything on my checklist. So you better start liking her if you don’t,” I told him.He looked at me in surprise, “you have a checklist for who I should date?” He asked.“Date? For who you should marry

“Trevor, I think she will be okay for him. Just make sure he doesn’t screw this up for himself and all of us. I have talked to the woman for so long now to know she is okay,” Maria spoke as we walked into the art studio.Well, after we arrived, we did have some sort of competition and, as I said, she mopped the floor with us. She was a professional, and that is what she does for a living. We don’t know why we would think we can beat her.But this all was just a trick Maria used to make her spend more time with Pit and to help us know her more. We know her on the outside but we wanted to understand her inside and mentally. To make sure she will not make grandpa and grandma suffer when she finally marries our friend.And because of the results we were getting, I would argue to say this was a success. Pit and Koko have been in the office for almost thirty minutes now, I don’t know if they knew that themselves. Me and Maria were just walking around trying to see what she liked painting an
