I sat as I watched them struggling to treat me all nice. We all just drunk wine as we talked. Well, they did most of the talking. Me and my wife just watched them trying to get into our good books. What money can do to people?“We are happy you came with her, my son,” father-in-law spoke.I smiled at him and then took a bow, “she told me what happened. Everything that happened and why she did was hat she did. I needed to take my wife back when she has done so much for me. It’s only fair that the people that made her do what she did get punished and not her right, mother-in-law?” I looked at her and she nearly choked on her wine.Maria touched my thigh, but I was just answering his question. He asked. I answered him. That was that. They all turned to face me. Trying to get into the conversation that I was trying to leave now because of my wife. I wanted to keep her promise. At least try to.“Yes. But the most important thing is that you two are back together, my son. And may we ask whe
“It will all be alright. Just relax and don’t think about it all. If it’s of any consolation, my parents happened to have hidden my identity. Not just about the money, but about who I am,” I told her as I wiped her tears away.It was bad that all her family members only care for money and not about her feelings. Neither of them cared about what she wanted. They would have forced her to marry any rich bastard if she didn’t decide to step up at that moment.And grandmother acting all nice to me was only proving her point. Making it impossible for me to help her come down. Because the woman was messed up. She was refusing to let go. Edom was helping her get everything she has been carrying out of her heart.“All she does is smile all day. Sleep with any man she sees pass her way. Is that what you all wanted me to turn out?” She looked from her parents to her grandmother.“Don’t get me involved in all this, sister. It’s my life and I’m going to leave it the way I want it to,” she spoke.S
After driving for nearly an hour, we finally reached my arsenal. Joseph has called me just after we left my in-law’s house. Telling me everything was okay at the wine company. That Roland and him did a great job of improving whatever they were working on.But it wasn’t easy because it was like a board meeting. People from different wine companies were there, and they all needed to talk. Interact. And Pit’s father happened to be there as well. I wanted to be there all the sudden. Because I needed that man to pay as well.He was also willing to go ahead with everything because he never liked me, all because my parents’ company did better than his. He was willing to allow his son to marry a married woman. Because she happened to be my wife. And he never just treated me better when we visited Pit back then. He always said things that hurt my feelings. Back then, I wouldn’t have done anything. But now I can do something.But it was over and I was joyous, things went well. Joseph also told
“What the hell do you think you are doing?” I asked as I followed him outside. After what happened inside, the man rushed outside full of rage in his eyes. Hurt that I outshined him in front of people he was willing to impress. People he wanted to show that I would never be a leader. That them working in my company was a bad idea. But Carnage helped on that. Tapping on the man’s head to get what he wanted here. What he had planned. She told me everything, and I used that to get to him. Apparently, he wasn’t even that rich. He didn’t have that much money to even buy the shares. It was all for show off. “What did my parents ever do to you? They were nice to you. Why are you doing this? You treated me like your own son. And all that was just an act. Deep down, you hated them,” I told him. He looked at me, fire burning in his eyes. I couldn’t even recognize the man any more. Why is it that when I have all the money, people started coming to me. Showing their true color of who they thou
After everything that happened and after what I talked to the man about, I was hoping he would listen and not go ahead with getting involved with my cousin Revoc. Because that man was dangerous and he never cared for them. Ever. He was only using them because they were venerable. Easy targets.First, he used the hatred Pit has for me and promised the man glory days. Telling him all sorts of nice things that he wanted to hear. I don’t know Revoc that much. I mean, every time I meet him we always fight. Never talked that much. The last time he was asking for the shares and to take my wife. Because he was apparently in love with her.Which was stupid, if you ask me. I mean, when did he even get to that conclusion of him loving my wife? He observed from a distance. Never spent time with her or talked to her. So, how can he fall in love with her? Was that all just to get me upset? For him to say I refused us to live in peace?Anyway, that will never happen. He could have fallen in love wit
“Why do you keep referring to the house as she? It’s an object, Carl. Not alive,” I told him. Because the all thing was disturbing.But he was smiling at me, “because she is alive. I told you even in foe that she was upset with you. I thought you got the hint,” he looked at me like what he just said was okay.“No Carl. I didn’t realize what you meant. Having talking houses isn’t something that is okay in the human world. I couldn’t know what you were implying just because you can talk to it,” I spoke.He gasped as he pushed the chair back and stood up, “You better not call her that. She will be upset and who knows what she will do to you and all of us? She will throw a tantrum,” he spoke.“Okay, I think you are overreacting, cat. What is the worst that can happen to me and you guys? She is my house and she can’t move,” I looked back at the mansion.It looked old. But still beautiful to look at. What can it do to make me pay for referring to it as it? I looked back at Carl.“Care to fi
I stayed on the balcony for some time now. Trying to understand what my life had become. Well, it wasn’t all bad. Some things were better than others. For examples I got a cat that will do about anything to save me. To make me happy.I got Roland. An amazing man that was doing anything in his power to act like my father. To make me not miss my parents as much. Then Odin, the same can be said about him as Roland. Because he was also my father’s age and will do about anything to keep me safe.Then I have the crazy siblings. The dreadfour. I wasn’t staying with them. But every time I spend with them is amazing. They have all what they do and they were helping me with my life. It was a great honor to have met them.And then I have all the money in the world. I can get whatever I want. Do whatever I want. I got my wife back, and that was because money brought us back together. Not that she came back for that. But somehow it was involved.My life has taken a total turn, and I wasn’t sure ho
Isn’t the bastard supposed to be an orphan or something? He never told me that he has a family. He always said my parents found him. That they took him in when no one else would. And here is Nathan telling me the cat had a family. And that too in foe where we just left.Why did he keep this a secret from me? Or didn’t Nathan just know about Carl not having a family? I looked at the man as we resumed our walk, but he looked dead serious about it.“Carl doesn’t have a family. At least, that is what I know. Did he tell you about it?” I handed him the bottle, and he drank the remaining.“No. Your parents mentioned it to me. They told me when you see a cat come here, welcome it. Because he is your friend or something like that. Then one day, they sent me to go and get Carl’s family because they needed to talk to them about something. I thought you knew?” He spoke, looking at me back and forth.As I said, this is new. The bastard had a family and never bothered to tell me about it. Did he n
