2024-10-29 19:42:56Sophie knew that her father was angry. Of course, it was for the sake of that her good for nothing sister, Meghan. Although she did not want to admit it, she was beginning to really hate her. What she did was unforgivable, and to make matters worse, now she had to do this task.
"All I have ever done is what they tell me to do." Sophie lamented, with a cigarette out of her lips, to Harry, a table sitting right between them. "But because of my stupid sister, there they are treating me like fucking dirt. I do not deserve this, Harry. I don't. These people are stressing my life out."
Harry watched her take the cigar out of her mouth and put it on the table. "Does Meghan know about this?"
"How the fuck should I know? I believe they must have told her

Not Your Average Son-in-law 147. Meghan At It Again.
Meghan's eyes slowly fluttered open. The windows were closed so she couldn't see that the sun was already out. She looked beside her and there Gavin was, sleeping peacefully. She smiled sheepishly as memories of what had happened flooded her mind. She sat up, smiling with her hand in his hair. She stretched her arms widely and yawned before getting off the bed and proceeding to the bathroom. About two minutes later, she walked out of the bathroom with a little towel over her face. And as she moved it off, the first thing her eyes caught was the clock which sat on the cabinet beside the bed.She wiped her face once more and walked quickly towards the clock. It was 8am. "What?" She said in surprise as she looked over at her sleeping husband. Immediately, she was annoyed. She tapped his shoulder, trying to get him to wake up, but he didn't. His eyes were still shut, and this got Meghan even angrier. She walked to the window and moved the curtains violently. Gavin stirred as the bright

"Nothing, absolutely nothing of that sort is going to happen. Since we got the house back, it has been all good. We have not had any financial issues and I can assure you that we won't. Isn't everything okay now? I mean we have everything we need and we aren't starving.""And that can change in the blink of an eye if you keep doing what you're doing. What responsible man who is actually serious with his job would be in bed at 8 in the morning?" She swept her fingers into her hair and sighed. "Everything may be alright right now, but it could change in just one minute. You should take your job seriously if you want things to remain the way they are."She walked away from him and went towards the wardrobe. Gavin turned to look at her, surprised that the same woman who was all over him, the same woman whose eyes spoke love not long ago was the one nagging. Just then, he began to wonder if he should tell her the truth. Not the entire truth about who he was, but the truth that he actually
Not Your Average Son-in-law 149. Resuming Work.
It was Brax Connelly. He answered and set the phone against his ear as he walked to the sitting room."Good morning, sir." Brax said immediately. He sounded a bit uncertain, fro whatever reason."You can call me Gavin, Brax. Good morning." He replied dryly. He was now standing at one of the windows in the sitting room, watching the environment. It was serene."Oh! Alright." He said in a sheepish tone. He didn't sound arrogant at all. Why would he when he was talking to his boss?"I wasn't expecting your call. Is everything alright at the office?""Oh, yes. Everything is fine. I just called to know how you were doing. After what happened, I...""I'm alright." He answered immediately. Thoughts of what happened between him and Meghan crossed his mind for a moment, but he pushed it aside. "Very alright, actually. And you? How are you doing?""I'm okay, sir.""That's good. Well, I'd like to thank you once more for what you did the other day, and thank you for calling to check up on me.""I
Not Your Average Son-in-law 150. Unexpected Visit To Meghan’s.
Meghan arrived at the office barely an hour after she left the house. Throughout her journey to work, all she could think about was what Gavin had said to her. Everyday, it just seemed like he was giving her more reasons to despise him, more reasons to be irritated by his presence. He had just broke the most delusional news to her with the most serious look on his face. She had put her bag away, and was ready to work on the job for the day. Just as she was about to settle down and begin, her mom walked in."Oh, hi mom. Good morning." She smiled and walked over to her, placing a light kiss on her cheek. Just then, Sophie walked in as well with her arms folded over each other. "I wasn't expecting to see you two today." She said as she walked back to her seat. "Of course, you weren't expecting us." Mrs Stallion said with a blank expression on her face. "Why would you?""It's not that, mom. I guess I was just...""Don't worry about explaining. I don't need to hear it.""Good morning." S
Not Your Average Son-in-law 151. Gavin Back To Work.
Gavin was late. He showed up in his usual wears, strolling into the company's vicinity with his hands stabbed into his pockets. The other workers looked at him, and wondered why he was strolling casually into the vicinity in the manner he was, when he had gone missing from work for sometime. It was day time so his post was in the department of logistics where he was a delivery man."Hey, Gavin" one or the men called out. He was tall and lanky, with a look of detest in his eyes. "You have got a lot of nerve strolling in here like that. You have got to go see the boss."Gavin did not give him any words of reply. He knew he had to go see the boss anyway. He merely nodded and went on his way to the office.Opening the door he found a blond haired man with very round spectacles trying to reach out to some object he kept on the top shelf of a cupboard. It was a book and the door opening seemed to have startled the man, having the book fall down. But before it could reach the floor, Gavin
Not Your Average Son-in-law 152. Gavin’s Standoff.
"Look at him," one of the security guards chided, pointing a finger in the direction of Gavin who had almost been knocked down into the floor. "I told you that he would be chased out of the office. Did I not bet on it?"The other security guards laughed. It seemed they had all placed bets on whether or not Gavin would be chased out, and the winner was about to get paid for betting right. They laughed despite that most of them were losing money to the one who had won the bet.Gavin felt angered and stared daggers into their souls. One of the men stood up."Oh, you look angry. What are you even going to do about it, you bloke? Can you even do anything about it?"Gavin stood upright. "And why do you think I want to do anything about it?" he asked, smirking despite the situation that he was in. "Some things are left broken. They cannot get fixed. Things like the lot of you."The security guards and the other delivery guys were awed at Gavin's bravery. His words had indeed stung so much t
Not Your Average Son-in-law 153. The Assignment.
Her eyes focused on a piece of paper before her. It appeared to be a document that she was reading through. But she was not as focused as one would think. Yes, her eyes were pinned on that piece of paper, but her mind wasn't. And this was because of what had happened earlier. Although it had been hours after her mother left, Meghan could not get what she had said off her mind. She was not surprised at how her mother acted because she knew that she was always that way when it had to do with Gavin. She was already used to her family looking down on him,and cussing her out because she choose to be with him, even after everything. But at this point, she did not mind.And honestly, she did not have much to worry about in respect to Gavin. He was her husband and she wanted to be with him, so nothing could change that. But the problem was the assignment. How on earth was she supposed to bring in a meaningful investment just like that? She sighed, turning her focus from the piece of paper to

"Umm..." She cleared her throat. "Can I have a..." As Sophie spoke to the waiter, Meghan watched skillfully. There was a lot going through her mind at that moment, but she was able to hold it in."Do you want anything, ma'am?" The waiter asked as he faced her. Sophie was clearly done placing her order, so it seemed right of him to ask."No." She shook her head immediately and sat upright. The waiter left at once and Sophie turned to face her sister."So sorry I interrupted in that manner. I'm starving. Now, what were you saying?""I really need your help, Sophie." She sighed, her voice almost helpless. "You know how important this assignment is to mom and dad. I wouldn't want to disappoint them. And most of all, I wouldn't want to be fired from the family company. I'm sure you understand.""You're totally right. I understand you. But you know what I do not seem to understand till this very moment? Your relationship with that glorified pauper. I mean why...""Sophie, please. This isn't
