Hidden Billionaire Son-in-law

Chapter 14

After dinner was served, Eric was consistently checking his Nokia phone to see if he would see any message from Susan asking him he had been or her call or anything to just console himself in to believe the she still loves him.

But to his disappointment, there was no call or message; it was as if he never existed in their lives.

He slept depressed thinking about his life with Susan, how rocky it has been. How there had been no peace for him to the extent that he dreamt of Susan chasing him to leave her life, that she was tired of living his wretched life with him.

He woke up drenched in sweat and scared , he grabbed the bedside clock to check the time and he saw that it 4am in the morning.

He could not sleep back, so he had to just stay in bed till it was daybreak but he could not stop thinking of ways to get back at the duo; Scarlett and her mother, for everything they caused to his last drop of blood.

But he was skeptical about the type of revenge he should employ because of his Son Mako. He does not want the hatred of Mako after everything.

He reassured himself that he is not going to be hated by Mako since the three year old got matured early and he had see everything his father suffered in the hand of his grandmother and mother.

So when the time comes to choose between the two parents, he really hoped he is going to be picked by his son because he won't want him to suffer in the hands of his mother and grandmother since he is his blood.

He was so sorry that his son was born into the kind of family, he finds himself but he made a promise that his son would not suffer now that he is already in money.

He took a shower when it has daybreak, at 7:30am he was served breakfast through room service.

It was brought to his knowledge that since the collaboration signing just took a day and the second day should been used to check the progress of the labourers on the site construction because that was one of the projects of the company.

At 8:30am exactly, the door to his room was knocked by Mr Brown so that he could go the construction site.

It was to everyone understanding that a big shot the president would be visiting them, so everyone had to put on their best work behavior so as not be queried or sanctioned.

Getting to the the site, he saw that the workers were hardworking and they were up to the task.

He was called from the call to come over to the company that a collaboration contract was to be signed and his attention was needed.

After the signing between the two parties, Eric was ready to go back to LA. His flight was scheduled for 3pm.

A small farewell party was conducted for him to appreciate his effort because it was because of his presence, the contract was signed and new investment was brought in.

At around 2:30pm, he prepared to go the airport, since it was about 25minutes drive from the company to the airport. He left in the company of his bodyguards.

On arrival to the airport, his passport and ticket was checked, he was to fly in the first class cabin.

The journey took about 2hours 30minutes from London to LA. When they alighted from the plane, he made use of sunglasses because he does not want to see his pictures in the headlines the next day and he does not want recognition yet.

He was received with open arms when he got to the Storm residence. His grandfather was happy to see him and glad that everything he went to do was successful.

He had dinner at his grandfather place but before he left his grandfather's, he changed his clothes back to his pauper clothes.

But this time he tried to make himself act the part that he was kidnapped since that was the story he was going to tell them at home.

Before he left, his grandfather assured him of a home and love if he decided to opt of the abusive relationship he was.

His grandfather driver drove him home, but he asked to dropped few blocks from their house because he needed to act the part well.

On getting home, he knocked on the door and he was asked who was at the door and he guessed the voice Tobe the voice of his Son Mako and he replied by mentioning his name that it was Eric.

He heard the exicted voice of Mako shouting "Mommy, mommy, my daddy is back; I told you he was going to come back, he would never leave us. He loves us"

The door was opened by Scarlett and he was dragged in by his collar inside the house and the door was closed.

Scarlett saw his pathetic look and saw how dirty and hungry he was. He was not offered any seat or given a cup of water to drink.

She asked him to explain himself and the money he made for the two days he left the house.

He made to stand when explaining himself, he was not even offered the floor.

He explained to her that he was robbed and kidnapped when he left the two days ago, that it was until when when his abductors saw that his situation was so pathetic that he does not have any family member to check on his welfare since he has been kidnapped.

They saw that they could not make money out of him, he was beaten, not offered any food to eat and left to die on the road, and that it was a good Samaritan that gave him some hamburger to eat when he was begging for food.

And that it was also the person that pointed the way to home to him because he was lost.

Scarlett looked at him with scorn and said, "You should have been killed by those men, it would have been a burden off my shoulder because you have no usefulness, you are good for nothing."
