Son-in-Law: A Commoner's Path to Revenge Ch. 43 - Riverbank's Atmosphere
Ding! The elevator reached the ground floor. Both Jackson and Elena walked out drenched in sweat. They made minor adjustments to their clothes before reaching the exit of the hospital. Just as he got out, Jackson noticed the van before hearing the horn. Bryce waved at him. Elena went the opposite direction before Jackson got the chance to say goodbye. He could only stare at her back as she walked away. Hurriedly, he went down the stairs and approached Amber and Bryce. He didn’t waste time and asked what he wanted to know right away. His serious face, with which he addressed them, made Amber giggle. His tone came out almost cold. “What happened? Is Raios a good lead?” Bryce chuckled. “Get in first!” Jackson let a puff of air escape his lips in disappointment. Bryce stepped out and went with him to the back of the van. He sat down with his arms crossed and waited for Bryce to join him. Amber remained in the driver’s seat. Bryce turned on his laptop and while it loaded, he had a
Son-in-Law: A Commoner's Path to Revenge Ch. 44 - Payback
Jackson with Amber and Bryce reached The Fleeting Moon, a contradicting name, for that specific time of day since the sun hadn’t yet set. They arrived just as the servers began setting the tables outside. Having sat outside, they picked a table, and each pulled up a chair. To their surprise, Raios was the one responsible for their table. He carried with him laminated menus of the café. “Good evening!” Jackson and the others replied in the same polite manner. After he greeted them, he placed the menus in front of them and stood at the side, letting them go through it. The well-behaved young man caught them by surprise at first, but after giving it some thought, it was very well mandatory in that kind of establishment. A few minutes passed, and Raios returned to the table with a smile and addressed the only woman in the company. “How may I help you?” The two men at the table urged Amber to order first. All the attention made her blush. She uttered her words after a cough. “I’ll
Son-in-Law: A Commoner's Path to Revenge Ch. 45 - Looking for Answers
A fine morning, with a gentle breeze, brought about a cool sensation on the skin of the people walking around in Riverbank city.The middle-aged man stared blankly at both Raios and Jackson with a distorted face. In a visibly disturbed expression, he uttered in an almost frightened tone. “W-What have you done?!”Jackson thought of his reaction to be weird. Instead of going on and on about his place of business, the middle-aged man changed his tone to that of submission and trembled in his shoes.Then a thought came to mind, which Jackson thought improbable at first, but after pondering over it for a while, he came out and spoke. “You are not alone in this scheme, are you?”The middle-aged man’s face turned white like a ghost. As if all the blood drained from his head, he stumbled before getting a grip on a chair and sitting down. He tried to brush it off by shaking his head, but before he could get the words out, Jackson interrupted him.“I’m guessing the Brown family pulls your strin
Son-in-Law: A Commoner's Path to Revenge Ch. 46 - Dinner at Jackson's
“Damn it!”The young Lord of the Brown family, with a glass of whiskey in his hand, took a sip to calm his nerves. His thoughts ran rampant. He clenched the glass and threw it against the wall.Pieces flew in all directions when he smashed it, making the servants duck.“That overweight buffoon! He couldn’t keep his mouth shut!”A knock on the door interrupted his ranting.“Enter!”A young woman shyly opened the door and walked over to the shuttered glass. “Young master, your father is here to see you…”He clicked his tongue before walking towards the girl. Just as he got to the door, he turned around, looked at the servants and coldly commanded. “Clean up this mess!”After he exited the study and walked down the hall, at the end of the corridor, he noticed a pair of legs standing next to a sitting man. He identified it as female immediately.The slender thighs and skirt were his clues. As he got closer, he added more to the image when he got glimpses of her. A ring-like waist, followe
Son-in-Law: A Commoner's Path to Revenge Ch. 47 - Meeting
Blue and red lights lit in sequence across Jackson’s face. Each time his expression changed; it was as if he had been in a stop motion film.Loud sirens echoed, overwhelming the soothing chirping of the crickets.The cool breeze that night felt like no other. A sudden chill caressed Jackson’s cheeks, sending chills throughout his body. Shivers lingered for several seconds after the gust passed.Just thinking about what happened almost made him vomit.He held young Raios in his arms. Warm crimson fluid flowed endlessly from the youth’s wound. The intense smell made Jackson taste the metallic fragrance which remained in his nostrils after it violently infiltrated his nose.Even though Raios confirmed it, Jackson still couldn’t believe what he heard.The previous owner of the Fleeting Moon has died. An undisputed fact he couldn’t wrap his head around.Raios bled profusely in Jackson’s arms. If the ambulance took a little longer, he wouldn’t have made it.The paramedics provided first aid
Son-in-Law: A Commoner's Path to Revenge Ch. 48 - Rosalia Hynkel
Ophelia caressed Jackson’s head as she embraced him. Her soft voice tickled his ears while she whispered. “Hear me, Jackson. Ruby’s eyes are a dead indicator of the Hynkel family. She won’t do anything to you. But one thing makes little sense. Why would this girl act against you like this? Something else must’ve forced her…”***While Jackson thought of Ophelia Woodfield’s words, Rosalia approached him.Her intense stare made him shiver, although he knew she wouldn’t do anything to him.“I see… So, you heard of our family ties…”The girl walked around him before having a seat on the sofa. She gently patted next to her, urging Jackson to sit beside her.When he obliged, Rosalia smiled.“You are correct. I don’t plan on killing you… But you are wrong about something. I’m from the branch family, therefore, not your cousin…”Jackson did not know what one had to do with the other, and before he could ask her, the girl with the ruby eyes continued.“We, the branch family, protect the main f
Son-in-Law: A Commoner's Path to Revenge Ch. 49 - Escape
Rosalia resumed her stoic expression from earlier and let out a chilling voice. “Who is it?”“It’s Lester…!”The young woman looked at Jackson with intensity. She walked across the room towards the locked door, which Lester tried to pry open. Rosalia continued with the same icy tone. “What do you want?”“Is it done?!”“Didn’t you want him to suffer?”Lester Brown banged his hand on the door. “Of course, that trash humiliated me…”“Then don’t bother me and let me do my job…”“Haha! Excellent!”Rosalia put her ear against the door, listening to Lester’s footsteps fading out. She let out a sigh of relief and returned to her previous position. She looked at Jackson with visible frustration on her face. “What did you do to him?”Jackson uttered with a chuckle. “I took away one of his toys…”Within a few minutes, Jackson received a call from Elena. With her help, the medical personnel sent by his grandfather arrived and, in coordination with the girl, they snuck into the room.***Several h
Son-in-Law: A Commoner's Path to Revenge Ch. 50 - Rosenbaum Kingdom
In order for Jackson to reach Eastal, he’d have to go through the kingdom of Rosenbaum. Because of the harsh landscape and uneven roads, driving there was close to impossible.The kingdom of Rosenbaum had a royal train built a few decades ago, for allowing the nobles of the world to travel.They didn’t allow commoners to use it, instead they had to use the unfriendly environment of the ground, although they were the ones who built the tracks.It would take close to eight hours to travel from one side of the land to the other. Like anywhere else around the world, the position one got on the train could measure their wealth.For Jackson to get the tickets he needed, he first had to seek an audience with the Queen. Based on their meeting, he would assign a room and wagon.Just as Rosalia mentioned, she had trouble with directions and navigating herself from one place to another. Instead of taking him straight from Riverbank to the Rosenbaum kingdom, Rosalia took a detour, describing it
