FORSAKEN SON-IN-LAW CHAPTER TEN
I parked my car in a parking lot, to a rather elegant bar I never thought I would come to. But I had what it took for me to be here. I looked at Joseph and the man looked as bewildered as he could have managed.He was now dressed in military pants, a black t-shirt and sneakers. It was like I knew such will happen — carrying extra clothes for him.“What are we doing here? We just survived whatever that was about,” he demanded as he looked at me. “You still have bruises from the beating, and you are going to a bar. Dude,” he added.But it was the only time I might have with him here. The other times we might be running from whatever was coming my way. The two men that attacked me didn’t want to even know the person who killed my parents. He was that dangerous.And those two were a problem on their own. Whatever my parents stole from them. And they wanted me to find it when I did not know what it was and where my parents lost the damn thing to.So, I did get what Joseph was implying. But
FORSAKEN SON-IN-LAW CHAPTER ELEVEN
I paced around while Joseph and Roland sat on the couch next to each other. I have been trying to ask Roland about the people that just attacked me. The man was adamant and didn’t want to tell me a thing about them.Saying he knew nothing about them. But I saw through him. He can’t have been working for my parents for years and yet knows nothing about those two men. He knew something, and he was just keeping it from me.“Roland, I have the all night. We will be here until morning if you don’t tell me what my parents stole and who those guys are,” I said as I stopped and looked at him.After a few seconds of silence, he spoke, “I do not know. Your parents didn’t share everything with me. Only things that involved you. I wish I knew, but I have no idea,” he spoke.“And the man that killed them. What do you know about him?” I asked and took a sit to the opposite couch.“Justine, relax. Let the man go to sleep. It’s middle night already,” Joseph spoke as he patted Roland on the back.I th
FORSAKEN SON-IN-LAW CHAPTER TWEELVE
We sat in the living room for a while as Roland told me more about what he knew concerning Hope and Death. But it wasn’t that much of help except for their location. And that I needed to fight them with wisdom.That was the only way out. They were both smart and if I fight them with no strategy; I was going to lose. Get myself killed if I wasn’t careful.But I knew I had something I can use for them to work with me. Though I wasn’t sure if they were going to trust me after what my parents did to them. But I was going to give it a shot and see what will happen next. Though I was hoping against hope that this work.After a while, we all went to bed. I was so tired that immediately I slapped the bed I entered the dream world.*I woke to the sound of the breeze. Looking at the source, I found the window opened. I must have left the damn thing unlocked. Was I that tired?I hurriedly took a shower and after dressing up I went downstairs, only to find the people I wasn’t expecting to see at
FORSAKEN SON-IN-LAW CHAPTER THIRTEEN
We sat on the balcony as she tried to convince me to take her back. That she didn’t know what she was doing. That it was a moment of weakness or something she put it look like. She was actually kneeling down as she begged for me to take her back.That was satisfactory to me. I wanted them to beg for what they did to me. Humiliating me and forsaking me. But part of me didn’t want that. They wronged me and no matter what I do, that won’t change.I lifted her from the floor and helped her back on the chair, “I don’t hurt you or any of your family,” I took the wine bottle, which I called using my wizard powers, and pulled enough into her glass. “You all did what you thought will be beneficial for you in the future and believe me you, I’m not against that,” I took a swig from my wine and went on. “Does Pit know you are here?” I asked, looking into her eyes.She looked down, “no. and I don’t care if he knows or not. Can we not talk about him? Please?” she looked at me again.She was a woman
FORSAKEN SON-IN-LAW CHAPTER FOURTEEN
The day went by quickly. I have spent it at home the all day. Because Roland told me they will take care of things at work because they now know I exist and that I needed to stay indoors after what happened last night.The man they hired to look after the gate was well equipped with protective shields and the like. That was one of the reasons they gave him the job. What didn’t my parents do to assure my protection? Maybe they even stole what they stole from Death and Hope because they wanted to keep me safe. You can never know with parents.Then what Roland told me after Maria and her parents left hit me again. I was keeping anger inside. Allowing it to bubble up inside and grow. I needed to let go or that will cost me my life. Big time.I assessed my surroundings. The only thing I was able to hear were bird songs and the trees entangle with each other as the breeze blow.I needed to be alert before these two show up. They meant business, and they were going to kill me if I don’t give
FORSAKEN SON-IN-LAW CHAPTER FIFTEEN
I sat at the log for some time since they left me. Thinking about what I discussed with them. Well, there was not much, but it was enough to let me know how important what they needed was to them. The Fatal. It kept them alive, according to what Roland told me.But a question that was bothering me was why Revoc took it from my parents if he was just going to kill them himself? It made no sense, and that was why I was in the forest meditating. I needed sometime alone with my thoughts. I needed to think about what I was going to do to survive this all crap.All I know for now is that I need to find the location of Revoc, and leave the rest to the dreadfour. But how I was going to find the location of the sociopath I did not know. All I was hoping for was that Roland knew something about it.He seemed to know pretty much a lot about my family. Which made me question how old he was for him to know all he knew about my family. He must have been the family butler for years and years.So, I
FORSAKEN SON-IN-LAW CHAPTER SIXTEEN
I stood at the corner for almost an hour. And the two men kept on talking in cords. I was still unable to get what they were saying or who they were talking about. I wasn’t even able to make out any of them. Who they were or what they were.Though some of what they said connected to me and my family. I mean, they were standing in my parents’ house, which has turned old all the sudden. How that was possible, I still don’t know. I have been trying to figure that out ever since I got here, but nothing came to mind.Kept on pinching myself but this was happening. It wasn’t a dream. I needed to be here and wetness what was happening. That gateway was meant to bring me here. But why? I do not know who the men are or what they are talking about. All I know it is connected to my family and me somehow.Could one of them be Revoc? But who was the man that was stopping him from attacking me? That he should allow me to play and think I was winning, then he was going to strike. But if they needed

I rolled to the side on instinct, and luckily, the fireball missed me. It slammed the floor with a thump and dust washed over me. Then with a wave of my hand, I swept the man from his feet and he fall flat on his ass.I scrambled to my feet at the same time as he did. He looked to be my age, maybe just two or three years order than me. His hair was short, just like mine, and he combed it perfectly. And he was clean shaven.Looking further, I realized he was the man I presumed to be Revoc from the two men. So he was just tricking me to make me think they had gone. But where was his friend? I looked at my surroundings, but he was nowhere to be seen, and I couldn’t sense his wizard's flavor.We circled each other for a while, and the all time he had the smirk on his face that sent a chill down my spine.He wore all black, the only thing deferent was his wristwatch.“What do you want in my parents’ house? And why does it look old?” I asked, with no hope of him answering those questions.H
