RISE OF THE DISCARDED SON-IN-LAW AN INVITATION
Alarick went back towards the house and once he stepped inside, he could hear Charlotte's voice ringing through the lobby. She was still shouting and it didn't seem like she was going to stop anytime soon.He shook his head and went up the stairs to her room. The guards were still finding it hard to put Charlotte into her room since her hands gripped the door frame as she started to scream profanities at the men. She had a very dirty mouth, and some words she said would make even sailors that were infamous for cursing, blush hard."You cannot do this to me you assholes! I am not a criminal! You have to let me go! Alarick! Tell your goons to release me this instant! I will sue you all for harassment the minute I’m out of here, you will all regret treating me like this, I promise you."On hearing his name, Alarick walked closer and stepped in front of Charlotte and she calmed down a little but her hands never left the door frame."I do not deserve to be treated this way. Tell your men
RISE OF THE DISCARDED SON-IN-LAW PREPARING TO LEAVE
When they were done eating, that was when Alarick finally spoke up."It looks like you're going to be leaving the house tomorrow."Charlotte dropped her glass of water and looked at Alarick."What?" She asked with a bemused expression."You're leaving the house tomorrow. You're going out with me to meet Mrs Dumont."Charlotte frowned as he said that."Who?"It was Alarick’s turn to frown at her question."The woman you spoke to last night. Mrs Clarice Dumont."Charlotte had a far away look in her eyes like she was trying to remember who he was talking about. Soon enough she remembered."Oh, I remember her now but what makes you think that I'll go anywhere with you tomorrow? Our deal was to only appear at the event as your plus one.""She asked to see you and you'll come because I said so." He said sternly."You could just leave me alone and go to see her. Make up an excuse and tell her that I couldn't make it. Why do I have to come?" She asked.Alarick made no attempt to answer the qu
RISE OF THE DISCARDED SON-IN-LAW AT THE RESTAURANT
Alarick and Charlotte sat in the car as the driver took them to their destination. It was silent apart from the sound that Alarick's typing was making. Charlotte looked over at him and tried to make out what he was typing but to no avail. She couldn't see a thing that is unless she was willing to move closer to him. She removed the thought from her head immediately. She didn't want him to think she came close to him for another reason.Charlotte looked out the window with a nonchalant attitude. Yes, she was going to escape today but right now she was bored out of her mind. They had been in the car for fifteen minutes already and she had nothing to do. At least he had a phone to keep him busy, she could do nothing but look around. She clenched her fingers wishing that she still had her phone with her. It would have been better than riding in a car in silence. But she knew that if she asked for it back, even if it was just to play games, he wouldn’t give it to her because he would think
RISE OF THE DISCARDED SON-IN-LAW FAILED ESCAPE
Charlotte crossed her legs as Clarice took a sip of her drink. The waiter had already arrived a few minutes earlier and had taken their orders. Now, they were left alone. "So, Chloe give me the scoop." Charlotte gave her an enquiring look. "What scoop?" Clarice dropped her glass and gave Charlotte her full attention. "Don't play coy with me. Tell me everything that's going on between you and your hunk of a boyfriend. I'm sure you have a lot to tell." Charlotte wriggled a bit in her chair. What was she going to tell this woman? She would have to fabricate a whole love life to placate Clarice's hunger for gossip but what if the woman asked Alarick and he told her something entirely different? Charlotte sighed. She would have to use Alarick's advice for this. "Well, like Alarick said, we met at a business event. After that we had our first date. Alarick was a bit stuck up the first time in my opinion but I didn't blame him especially after all he'd been through. The date was okay b
RISE OF THE DISCARDED SON-IN-LAW KING VS DUMONT
Alarick and Henry sat down opposite each other on the far end of the restaurant as they left their significant others alone. Henry sipped from the glass in his hands."Alone at last.""The women wanted some privacy. Who are we not to oblige them? Now, to the reason I actually came out today. Business."Henry's demeanor changed. His face already had no happy emotion before but now he was enraged as the thought of Alarick blackmailing him popped into his mind. He tried to hide it but Alarick had picked up on the change."Is there an issue Mr Dumont?" Henry settled for a slight sneer. Right now Alarick held all the cards and he knew it."No. There isn't an issue." Henry replied."Good. Let's get straight to the point. I want you to invest in the new joint company and relevant sector that I have someone heading.""Why would I do that?" Henry asked."Think about it. You'll be putting your hard earned money into a project and company that'll give you massive returns back. It's a constructi
RISE OF THE DISCARDED SON-IN-LAW THE ULTIMATUM
Alarick crushed the plush leather seats beneath his palms as he fumed."What the hell did you just do? You had the audacity to try and run away even when I told you what would happen?""What did you expect me to do? Sit down and look pretty for people who would hate me if they knew I am not as rich as they are? Wait for a man who keeps insisting that I killed my own father and who has kept me in his house against my will for this long?"Alarick's eye twitched and the veins on his neck became more prominent as he clenched his jaw."So, you abandoned one of the most influential women in the city just so that you could go back out to continue your killing spree with Dylan? Is destroying people's lives more important than doing the right thing?" He yelled back.Charlotte stayed silent, at a loss for words because of what Alarick had said. After all her confessions on how she wasn't complicit in Dylan's crimes, after all she had done to show Alarick that she was innocent, after the damn ki
RISE OF THE DISCARDED SON-IN-LAW DUMONT AGREES
Alarick had not gone in to see her but ever so often he would send one of his men to ask her the same question. Are you ready to confess? Charlotte would still shake her head and say that she was innocent. It was morning now, and although she had slept on the bare floor, she still refused to speak.As Alarick sat in his father's study, browsing through some documents, he received another report from one of his men that he had sent to her room. The guard stood at the corner of the room waiting for Alarick's go ahead to speak. Alarick waved his hands in approval and the man started."She still maintains that she's innocent. She looks pale sir."Alarick slammed his hand that still held papers, on the table. He threw a book across the room and stood up. Why was she so stubborn? Why wouldn't she break?Alarick took a deep breath to calm himself. Getting worked up wouldn't help him. Alarick turned back to the man who still stood there unmoved by his outburst."It's fine. Keep the doors lock
RISE OF THE DISCARDED SON-IN-LAW AMBUSHED
"Come in."Like before, one of Charlotte's guards walked into the room."Has she said anything? Anything at all?" Alarick asked.It had been a few hours since Henry Dumont left his house and the time he had given Charlotte to say the truth had elapsed."Yes sir, but she said that she would only speak to you." The guard replied.Alarick stopped pacing. Had her spirit broken? Was she really going to tell him what he needed to know? He turned to the guard in mild excitement. Finally, this cat and mouse game he had been playing with her would pay off."Let's go."The guard opened the door for Alarick to walk through before doing the same himself. Alarick walked through the halls anxious and curious about what he might hear from Charlotte. About how she came up with the plan to destroy his family. About where Dylan and the rest of them could possibly be hiding. The door was opened for Alarick again when they reached Charlotte's room and he went in. The room was bare. Nothing decorated the
