FORSAKEN SON-IN-LAW CHAPTER 106
I looked from Carl to the woman. And all I could sense was nothing but tension from her. Carl, on the other hand, was angered beyond anything I could have imagined him to be at a time like this.I was trying to understand what was going on myself. But I never wanted to intrude or anything. This was between the two of them and not me. Yes, I had my own part to play in this, but I was never going to get in between the two of them.I looked at Roland, who was rubbing a hand behind Carl’s back. Whispering in his ears what could have only been words of encouragement. I hope. Because Roland can be a bit of a pain in the neck. Though supportive most of the time.Maria thought it best to stay out of it. And she wanted to talk to Hope and Thought. So, after meeting the mother or Carl, she left.And I think she did make a good choice. Because this will not help her in any way. For this will only remind her of what happened time and time again. She needs to talk to the two and maybe she will com

“What do you mean, you think she will win the case? I didn’t come here from my session with Hope so that you can lose. I know she played her cards perfectly well. And she is still doing that. But that doesn’t give you a chance to give up. You have never been a quitter and you won’t start now,” she spoke as she took my hand. “I know you are going through a rough patch right now. And all this is just way too overwhelming. But we need this. It's not only about us beating her. It’s about you getting your company back.” She spoke. Her ember cat eyes look straight into mine.I just sighed and smiled. Maybe I was feeling a little overwhelmed about what has happened in the past few days. Me losing my powers and losing the company. And maybe losing Suzen did as well affect me just as it did Maria and Joseph. Because she was carrying my nephew or niece after all. Maybe losing Nathan as well was just as detrimental to me.I have been trying to stay strong for all of them. To keep showing them I’

“Justine, what were you talking about in there? And why did you lie about it? Why didn’t you tell me what was going on between the two of them,” Maria asked as we stood a few paces from the courthouse.I didn’t even know what to tell her. I mean I said what I said, but I didn’t know if it was the truth or not as well. Not until they acted the way they acted.I have seen them once or twice in some awkward moments that made me think something was going on between the two and nothing more. But it just happened that I was right. And what old lady out there wouldn’t want a mate as young as John? Come on.“Stop smiling Justine. This is not funny. I need you to tell me everything,” she spoke, even though she was smiling as well about how things turned out.“There is no story to tell, my beloved wife. Except that she cheated on your grandfather. I also was not sure about everything. But their reaction gave them out. I just hope your mother will be okay. Because these things do separate parent
FORSAKEN SON-IN-LAW CHAPTER 109
I sat on my bedroom balcony as I tried to think about everything. Like what just happened with Frazer and Roland's wife. And everything about him keeps scaring the crap out of me.Tonight reminded him of what happened when he was a kid. How my father and his workers failed to keep him safe and his mother. Seeing our father raising me well and into the man I am today.I don’t know if I just have major trust issues, but those trust issues have saved me a lot of times. Because I like to think about things over and over again. And because I like to be sure about the surrounding people, it has saved me and my family a lot of times.But again, I can’t be doing this behind his back when he has been trying to prove to me that he has changed. If he ever figured out what I was thinking about him, I couldn’t even imagine what he could do to me and my family. I have nothing at the moment that can assure me I will keep me and my family safe. I’m still training with Void, and that woman is not doin
FORSAKEN SON-IN-LAW CHAPTER 110
We sat in the backyard as I tried to get her to speak. But everyone was inside because I didn’t want any of them to get involved. Because I didn’t want any of them to be hurt.They all seemed to be thinking I couldn’t help myself because I don’t have my powers any more. Even though I have been training with Void.And knowing Carl too well, he will get in the way and try to help me. Even when it means him been killed.“Dream we don’t have all night. Carl’s mother just told us we have some crazy psychopath that want me and my half brother dead. And now you show up at my doorstep looking like you have seen a ghost. What the hell happened?” I asked again and stood up.After a few heartbeats, she looked up at me. Then gestured for me to take my seat. Something about her eyes didn’t give me a good assurance of what happened. It only made me mad and scared.She cleared her throat and opened her mouth. But closed it again. She tried doing that for some time, but no word came out.Was it that
FORSAKEN SON-IN-LAW Chapter 111
Chapter 111I stood outside the courthouse. Taking as many deep breaths as I can. But that seemed not to do much work. It did help in its own way. But not as much as I needed it to.I looked up to God. Asking him for guidance and help with what I will say and do in there. To see me through and help me with dealing with that old lady.I didn’t want to lose myself in the middle of whole these things that are happening to me at once.“You got this,” I told myself as I passed up and down.Because I didn’t want any of my family members involved, I told them to stay at home. While some more than others.Frazer and Joseph went to the company to take care of things while I deal with grandma. Carl and his wife refused to stay at home for any longer. Because they needed something to punch. Hence, the couple went to the strip club where we found Carl’s girlfriend.So, that only leaves my wife, Carl’s mother, and Roland at home. While also, Hope. After last night, he didn’t go back home because o
FORSAKEN SON-IN-LAW CHAPTER 112
I looked from Mateo to the judge, and the woman just gestured for me to answer the question.“I don’t know what he is getting at and how much they gave him for him to be accusing me of something I didn’t do. Why would I burn my in-laws’ house? I know my wife is not talking to them because of what they did, but she wouldn’t be happy about that, my righteous judge,” I looked at her with a smile.There was a pause as Mateo looked at me with a smile. That kind that makes you freak the hell out. I never knew Mateo was a villain in the first place. So, me expecting anything as bad from him was something I was starting to see happening.The man turned bad overnight. Apparently, he was the one that hired Revoc junior and took care of him as a child. Natured him into the bad, unreasonable person he was.He planned everything so perfectly that I never thought of him to be a bad person. Made sure I believed that Revoc was responsible for everything.Now that I think about it, the man was the one
FORSAKEN SON-IN-LAW CHAPTER 113
I really wanted to make amends with my in-laws. But I wasn’t planning on making the same mistake again. We learn from our mistakes.But again, this involves forgiving and forgetting. Something I just told my wife to do. But those people have made my life a leaving nightmare my all life. They never approved of my marriage to their daughter in the first place. So, why would they love me when I have money?At some point, I really thank my parents for everything they did. For allowing the world to see me as this poor guy. I got to know who were my friends and who will stay by my side regardless of what I was going through.My in-laws are one of the people that showed me their true colors. And despite that, I decided to let bygones be bygones, but what did they go and do?Took my company and nearly killed my all family. Well, they managed to kill their pregnant daughter and my friend Nathan. That is something that will be with me my all life.I might forgive them, but forgetting might be a
