FORSAKEN SON-IN-LAW CHAPTER TWENTY
“You are pacing up and down because it’s Christmas eve?” Carl asked as he got up as well.It was not only that it was Christmas eve; it was the night I’m supposed to be at the company for the selling of the shares of one guy. I needed to get those shares, because if I give the leverage to one of them, they might just try to dethrone me.There were more people that wanted my wealth than just Revoc. A lot wanted my wealth. Heck, that was the only reason Maria and her parents wanted me back into their family. So, I need to be at home as in right now.“I need to leave, Thought. We will continue our conversation later. I will figure out Revoc’s location and then you four will take it from there,” I spoke.“Alright. Just be careful. And say sorry to Roland because I took you for longer period than I asked for,” he spoke apologetically.“Wait, so I’m not sleeping right now?” this was crazier than I actually thought. And Roland was in it as well. What more secrets were they keeping from me? W

“Well, I can’t say your parents made me do it this time. It was also my choice to keep the truth from you because we all thought it bes. We all thought it was the best decision for you. We all thought we were protecting you from all this. But clearly, we weren’t,” he spoke and then looked at Carl. “And Carl, I’m sorry it took this much time for us to come and get you. You must have gone through hell,” his eyes were all watery.Silence stretched for a few seconds. But if the dreadfour took Carl when he was a kid, why did he wear an armour? What happened to him to wear that?“It’s fine Roland. You all did it to protect my master, and that was why I accepted to be in that prison. And Thought was nice to me. So were his siblings. Well, Death was a problem, but he is also good deep down. Just don’t piss him off,” he looked at me.“What did you all hide from me apart from Carl? Why did my parents steal the Fatal from the dreadfour? If they were friends, couldn’t they have just asked them fo

He walked to us majestically. Sparkles of lightning coming out of his eyes. I know Pit was a wizard like me and he knew a lot, just like I did. But something about his powers seemed different. His eyes never glow this bright. Ever.Something was up.“Pit, let’s just talk like civilized people. I don’t know what the hell you are pissed about. But I know we can talk about it. Just come down,” I spoke, raising my hands in surrender and Joseph did the same.Carl moved in front of me as Pit raised his fireball at me. “You now have cats as bodyguards. What money can do? Anyway, didn’t come here to worst both my time and yours. I just wanted to tell you that you should stay away from my Maria,” he spoke with a smirk on his face.“What—”“Joseph, I got this,” I told him and went around Carl to face him. I was upset about what he and Maria did to me. And I was yet to make them pay for that. But I just needed to get this crap I was dealing with over with before getting back to them.I wasn’t an

We all just sat in the living room trying to overcome what just Pit caused. But there was not much of the dust now, only the remains were there. Roland has cleaned most of it. One reason I think he was good for the job.My parents chose him for this purpose.A while after Pit left, Nathen came running inside shouting like a crazy person that there was an intruder in the house. Then he stopped and just looked at me apologetically.I don’t even remember what I said to the man because I was so angry at the moment – trying to rethink about what Pit said before he left. The only thing I remember telling Nathen was to leave my house and stay watchful the next time.Carl sat at the dining table as he enjoyed his food. But he looked sad and disappointed. At himself that there was nothing he could do or say that will make me smile. He tried cracking jokes, but nothing worked. Was I that hurt with what happened between me and Maria that I was unable to stop thinking about what Pit called me?Wa

“Carl, you are not following, and that is my final decision. This place there will be humans around. You are my cat. Literally. They will freak out. Maybe next time you can follow,” I spoke as I fastened my suit in the mirror.Ever since last night when Joseph showed me that party, Carl has been trying to convince me to let him follow me and Joseph to the party. I have told him no each time, but it was like he wasn’t giving up on that.But my answer was still going to be no, because of only one reason. Humans are not ready to see my talking huge cat. They might think there was some Vudu going on. They might even arrest me because I wouldn’t tell them the truth about Carl.I saw that my beard as even grown for the past days. But I liked it that way and I might even keep it the way it was. Also, because I just didn’t have that much time anymore. Every minute counts at this point in time.“You know, you might need me there. That Pit guy will be there and after the shity show he just pull
FORSAKEN SON-IN-LAW CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE
We sat in the car as Joseph kept telling me that it was all going to be okay. But I didn’t want to have a freaking metal break down when I enter inside the party. Because no matter how much I kept telling myself that all was okay, it wasn’t.All I knew was that I needed to make them pay, to do something that will make them regret what they did to me.The place was all lit, per expected. The lightning and the decoration outside were just perfect. And everyone that moved up and down outside looked as elegant as I expected. They filled the all yard with cars. And expensive once to say.“You know that a lot have seen you either on TV or read an article or something about you becoming wealth? But none seem to know that you haven’t been leaving with your wife. Well, someone was been nose and twittered about it but most of them didn’t believe it,” Joseph spoke and turned to face me.I looked at him with a forced smile, “and I do what with that?”He gestured his shoulders, “I don’t know. I ju

Father-in-law smiled at me as our eyes met. And I gladly returned it. He stood at a table with other people of his size and they looked to have been talking business. But they also seemed to laugh.He gestured, and I walked to him with a glass of wine in my hands. I reached there and everyone turned to look at me with a delightful smile. And I saw in their eyes that they had zillions of questions but they didn’t have were to ask them.“Well, you have all met my son-in-law, Justine, the husband of my only daughter, Maria. And Justine, these are my friends and some are business partners,” he smiled at them.I just returned their smiles, “pleasure meeting you all. Hope you are all having the best time of your lives. Father-in-law knows how to treat his friends. Mostly family,” I smirked at him. “Hope you don’t get too excited though and end up picking something that will kill you around here,” I smiled, and they laughed.Mr. Mulenga leaned closer, “can we do that later? I know you are up
FORSAKEN SON-IN-LAW CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN
We stood on the balcony. Fresh air washing over us. She didn’t even know where to begin and I was just waiting for her to start because she was the reason; I was here in the first place. She wanted to talk to me in private and I just followed like a good husband.But if Pit was here, and he saw us coming up here, he was going to show up any second from now. I didn’t want to cause a scene here. And most about me and my friend fighting over a woman that I just told everyone we were still together.“Maria, we won’t be standing in the cold the all day. Why did you call me up here? I have some people to talk to. Who knows, I might find someone to invest in or something,” I smiled at her to keep the conversation casual.She turned to look at me. Trying to look all sad and lonely on some level. But I wasn’t going to buy it. I wasn’t going to treat her mean or bad. But I wasn’t taking her back after what she did to me.She walked over and stopped about two feet from me, looking me in the eye.
