RISE OF THE DISCARDED SON-IN-LAW TWO SURPRISE VISITORS
“What do you want in return for the information you want to give to me?” Micah placed his hand on his chin.“Hmm, I really want some good food. Prison food is trash. Maybe a fillet mignon and some red wine. Obviously, a large side dish. Then an extensive menu after that for me and whoever I choose to feed as well for at least a month.”Alarick looked at Micah confused.“You want food? Not protection. Not security or to be let out early?”“You can’t do anything without your company right now. I’m sure that by now everyone knows that you aren’t in charge anymore and most people in the business industry wouldn’t want to associate with you anymore. Sure, you might still have some friends that are willing to bend over backwards for you but they can only do so much for me. I just want to have a nice meal because the food in here sucks. I’ve already been working on my own protection since you put me in here to rot. I’m not at the top of the food chain yet, but I’m close. And I’m not stupid,
RISE OF THE DISCARDED SON-IN-LAW FEMME FATALE
Alarick, Charlotte and Scarlett sat down in the living room of the mansion, looking at each other with no one saying a word. Alarick looked at them, still a bit surprised that they were here as they both stared pointedly at him. Some moments of silence went by before Alarick said something.“You said we needed to talk so why the silence?” He asked Scarlett.Scarlett crossed her legs and leaned back in her seat.“It’s about your company.”“And am I to assume both of you came here together?”Charlotte shook her head.“We came here separately and for different reasons but we had a talk while we waited for you to come back.”Alarick intertwined his fingers.“Talk? About what?” “Your situation with the company. When I saw it in the news I couldn't believe that you would actually sign over your company just like that. I needed to know why you did that.”Alarick turned to Charlotte after Scarlett spoke.“And you? I thought you wanted nothing to do with me or the family.”“Scarlett came here
RISE OF THE DISCARDED SON-IN-LAW REQUEST FOR HIS FATHER
Hours passed and after some more planning the women began to leave. All except Charlotte. She stayed behind and pored over the files that littered the room. Alarick, who had left a bit earlier, walked back into the room with a bottle of water in his hands.“It’s getting late. Are you sure you don’t just want to stay over so that you wouldn’t have to stress yourself when you want to go to bed? I could get you some food too.”Charlotte spoke without looking up from the paper in front of her. “I’m not hungry and I’d rather go back to my house than spend a night here.”Alarick placed the bottle on the table.“Grace might still be out to get you. I could send some men with you to keep an eye out but it’s still dangerous for you to be out there alone.”Charlotte looked up and eyed Alarick.“I’ll take my chances.”“Don’t be stubborn. I know that you don’t want to be near me right now but I don’t want anything bad happening to you because you decided to take your chances with a deranged kill
RISE OF THE DISCARDED SON-IN-LAW ANOTHER STRIKE FROM GRACE
Alarick sat down in Cillian’s study, waiting for Charlotte to finish speaking with his father. He had a little anxiety about the meeting between them but he could do nothing but hope for the best. He flipped through some of the documents that Vivian had brought the day before, trying to differentiate what was important and what was not, when the door burst open. Charlotte poked her head into the room and on sighting Alarick, she entered. She crinkled the dress as she looked around the room. It had been ages since she had been inside that space. It was still the same from the tapestry to the clock on the wall to the same wooden desk she had scribbled on whenever she came to see Cillian. From what she remembered, the last time was when she was a child and she came to see her father. Jonathan was in the study with Cillian going through some files, like always when she ran in and embraced them both. Charlotte shook her head to get those thoughts out of her mind. She didn’t need to be thi
RISE OF THE DISCARDED SON-IN-LAW CHANGE OF PLANS
Charlotte pressed play on the remote causing the news to continue to play the news.The King Corporation has been accused of being involved in implicit and illegal business activities. Various implicating documents and activities have been found and documented. This was brought to the attention of the financial authorities, the IRS and also the local police by the current CEO of the company who says that all this was done under the watch of Alarick and Cillian King, the financial business moguls. The news has made its way to the chief judge and we speculate that this may turn to a court case. Hold on for more information.The reporter placed a hand on her ear and squinted a bit. She turned around and walked towards the steps of the building. Alarick and Charlotte hadn't noticed it until now but the reporter was right in front of Alarick's company. They had been so engrossed in the news that they hadn't realized that this was even televised earlier today. Grace walked down the steps o
RISE OF THE DISCARDED SON-IN-LAW COURT CASE I
Just as Alarick had predicted there was a huge trial that was going to be held due to what Grace had released to the press. It had only been a day after her false announcement when he had gotten a letter saying that he had to be in court for a hearing concerning his company’s activities. Surprisingly, Charlotte was ready for the hearing. The zeal to crush Grace at her own game had pushed her even more to provide everything that they needed or might need when the court case held. Alarick had also prepared until he was ready to face Grace again and confront her.The day of the court hearing came and the buzz of how the day might end filled the television stations, news outlets, media rooms and even gossip mills with so much anticipation that the hearing was allowed to televise live due to the pressure that was put on the courthouse. The press had used the excuse of trying to educate the masses to get the exclusive content but everyone knew the truth. Everyone knew that no matter what ha
RISE OF THE DISCARDED SON-IN-LAW COURT CASE II
“I won’t waste any more time by going through the process of how the evidence was found. Instead, I’ll show everyone the proof and allow them to make a decision for themselves. This is exhibit A.” The lawyer for the prosecution took a file from off his desk and showed it to the whole room. He brought out a copy and gave one to the judge and then another to the jury to peruse. He crossed his fingers and gave it some time before he continued. “In the file that you were given you will find the dealings between the King Corporation and a well-known notorious cartel headed by Lorelie Mandan. This was for the shipment of a large number of guns and possibly explosives to an undisclosed location somewhere in the Mexican desert. The drop off was made by the company and the cartel picked it up. If you still have doubts then I would like to call a witness to the stand.” The lawyer turned to the judge and he gave his go ahead for the witness to be called out to the stand. “I call Matteo Sanch
RISE OF THE DISCARDED SON-IN-LAW A WIN IS A WIN
Everyone that was in the courtroom before the break was called back in as the court was about to be in session. They all took their seats anxious for what was to come next. Some bit their nails and some sucked in a breath, nervous. This was the time that the verdict would be given. Would the prosecution win or the defense win? What would happen if the verdict didn't go the defense's way? What would happen to the company that so many people respected in the business world, not to talk of the King family if the allegations were indeed true and they were involved in shady business? All these were questions that the crowd in the court had. Everyone including the prosecution and the defense. Alarick and Charlotte took their seat as they shared glares with Grace and her lawyer. The tension in the air was palpable. A knife could cut it in half. They were all on their toes. The jury had to decide on this case and all they could do was hope that the verdict went their way.The door opened up
