Revenge of the Reprimanded Son-in-law

Chapter seven

As Mr. Davies walked out, he thought of all the trust Gonzalez had for his wife, one should never trust someone so wholesome and with everything, especially a Williams, he knew that format hand. 

He had wanted to reveal himself when he heard about Natasha and Gonzalez but he decided against it. He had wanted him to make his own choices. Now that he thought about it, he should have stepped in, perhaps it would have saved him a lot of trouble. 

With Gonzalez being married to a Williams, how else could he reveal to him that they had a hand in his parent's murder? 

He thought it best to leave things to the hands of fate, and see how it turns out in the end. Perhaps, their story will be unlike any other.

"Honey, what are you doing at the moment?" Mrs. Williams had asked Natasha when she called her. 

"I'm trying to get us that deal, is there a problem?" Natasha asks 

"I have a little surprise for you, perhaps you can come over to the house" Mrs. Williams suggested 

"Just tell me what it is" Natasha begs

"I can't, it will ruin the surprise" Mrs. Williams answered 

"Mom..." Natasha starts 

"Natasha, I will see you in 1 hour, be there," Mrs. Williams said and hung up.

"Are you sure she will come?" Matthew asked, wanting to be sure this would not end badly. He didn't want to come but did so out of respect for Mrs. Williams and he could not say no to her. Women like that never took no for an answer. 

"Yes, trust me, she will come" Mrs. Williams assured 

"You know, considering how things ended badly betwixt us" A concerned Matthew had added 

"Relax, just let me handle this. All you have to do is convince her that you love and want her all to yourself. Okay? Right, that must be her at the door" Mrs. Williams chuckled when she heard the doorbell ring. 

"Mom, what is this surprise?" Natasha sighing asks. There was just something she could not point to about it but she knew her mother was up to no good surprises. 

"Oh, I invited Matthew over, he has been waiting for ages for this but you never gave him the chance" Mrs. Williams started 

"Mom, this is wrong. I am married why do you keep doing this?" A distraught Natasha asks 

"Look, honey, Matthew isn't asking you to marry him, he is just so sorry for all that happened in the past and wants to let it out of his mind" Mrs. Williams continued 

"Go on now, dear. He is in there, all I am asking is that you just see him and talk, nothing else" Mrs. Williams added 

(At G & G) 

The first day at work, Gonzalez noticed how much he had missed this, working and having subordinates. Speaking of which, he never had any of that when he was with the Williams. 

Didn't Mr. Davies say they kept him because they wanted a part of his inheritance? Why did they treat him so badly then? Perhaps, they had thought he would never amount to anything. Well, here he was. 

A message from Mrs. Williams jolted him back to reality. He thought to just ignore it but on second thoughts decided to open it, you never know. 

"Your wife is going to leave you" the message read and Gonzalez chuckled, he knew how much his mother-in-law hated him and this was not the first time she would send him messages like that. 

His attention was drawn to the photos she had attached under. 

"Ah, I'll open them later," He thought and continued with work. 

"Sir, the clients are here," Gonzalez's assistant said 

"Do they have an appointment for now?" Gonzalez asks 

"Yes, sir" She answered 

"Please send them in" Gonzalez replied.

"Breaking my heart was not enough, now you have to come and try to break my marriage? Are you intent on ruining my life?" An enraged Natasha asked 

"I promise you, that was not and will never be my intention" Matthew confesses 

"Why are you here then?" Natasha asks 

"To beg your forgiveness" Matthew admitted

Scoffing, Natasha says, 

"So much for wanting my forgiveness, you didn't want it before now, why do you need it now? I mean, you do pretty well without it, eh?" 

"No, I promise you, I looked for you but your mother, she wouldn't let me see you, you know how she is. I never stopped looking" Matthew added 

"Perhaps you're a little late, 3 years late. I am married now, so there is no chance for us" Natasha says

"I know, of course I heard about your wedding, such a shame that your parents don't approve" Matthew noted 

"Hmm" Natasha mutters 

"I remember when we were young, and how we would joke about how exuberant our wedding would be. And how we will have lots of kids, running around the house and we would let them because we love them" Matthew continued 

"Stop, Matthew stop it" Natasha yelled 

"Why?" A confused Matthew asked 

"Cos you cannot, I am married and all of that you just said is in the past. Not one of us can have that life we always dreamed about now" Natasha explained 

"Don't you want the past?" Matthew asked 

"The past is the past, I do not care about the past. I do not even care about this very moment now, I am only bothered about the future. So, please do not call me, or text me, or reach out to me. I am married and a happy woman" Natasha finished and made for the exit. 

"That didn't go well, I suppose" Sylvester commented after Natasha had left 

"No, it didn't.  She is so different from the Natasha I knew" Matthew added 

"Of course, that poor thing changed her into something not any of us can recognize" Sylvester complained to a nodding Matthew and Mrs. Williams.
