THE DESPISED SON-IN-LAW Chapter 108
Antonio Rizzo strode angrily into the room where his daughter and Peter Causey sat. His expression was one of maddened fury.Causey knew that the meeting would not be a friendly one.Rizzo had a cigarette in his mouth which had not been lit. His missing eye seemed to glare at everything along with his other eye."One job... You had one job!" Rizzo yelled out. " All the men died in that explosion. Every single one of them." Rizzo queried."You did not listen to my advice when I suggested that we hold back the Operation until a later date. Anything that involves that bastard, James Johnson always ends up in disaster. We needed to ensure that those codes were secured." Causey said."Are you by any chance trying to blame my Father for this?" Viola asked him. She sat in a chair opposite Causey, dressed in a green shirt, black pants, and a green hat."I never said that, young lady. I am just saying that it pays to listen to advice sometimes, even when it comes from subordinates." Causey rep

Sarah walked into the Belle view Hotel, and straight up to the restaurant. The doorman took her coat jacket from her as soon as she arrived."Your table is at eight. The Smiths are already seated and expecting you." He said to her."Thank you." Sarah said and walked steadily into the restaurant. Her red bottom heels landed lightly on the smooth surfaced carpet, making it difficult for her steps to be detected.As she drew near the door which led to the VIP room where she knew the Smiths were seated, her feet were propelled by the laughters which erupt from the room, as well as the loud whispers of small talk and idle chatters.Williams words struck her from the door."I think I will get another woman the moment I'm done with her. Then we can make our move." She heard him say in an icy tone. His voice was void of any emotion. Sarah's feet paused at the sound of his voice."What makes you so sure that she would agree to this marriage, given the circumstances at hand?" Mr. Brown asked W

The nurse took her time to remove the needle from James' arm. The door to his hospital room opened up and Anna walked in with a bag of clothes in her hands. She placed them gently on the table which was available in the room."You are set to leave now, Mr. Johnson. But do not forget to take your medications as prescribed by the Doctor." The nurse instructed him and picked up the metal tray whic she had placed on the bed to throw in the needles and bloodied cotton swabs."Thank you, Nurse." Anna said as the nurse walked out of the room."What happened?" She asked James. He turned and look at her furtively. He was not ready to get into it at the moment."What makes you think there is something wrong?" He asked her coldly."More than seventeen years of friendship and you think that a certain camouflage can deflect me from seeing the truth." She said to him."Are you certain you aren't just reading into my sick look?" James asked her evasively."I think the question is are you certain? Wh

Mr. Brown looked left and right before he crossed the road. The Mattoon Matrix was parked near an enclosed street, properly concealed behind a huge trailer.Mr. Brown knocked on the black tinted window and the window rolled down a bit, and then was rolled back up. The door opened and he got into the car.Causey stared icily into space. His steely eyes could not be seen through his dark glasses. "What do you want from me, Causey? Isn't it enough that you went behind my back and falsely accused me? You released that evidence saying that I was connected to some drug Lords and underground businesses. You are pushing me to face charges for things I know nothing about." Mr. Brown exclaimed."This is supposed to be my problem because?" Peter Causey asked him."It may not be your problem, but it is certainly our problem. You think by forcing me with jail terms would push me to give you my daughter in marriage? Do you even love her, Causey?" He asked Peter Causey tiredly.Peter Causey made a

James sat in the apartment watching the news, when shortly his phone rang out. He pressed it to his ear and the luscious female voice came on."Hey James, how are you? I am outside your apartment right now. I just thought to stop by and check on you." The lady said sexily.James stared at the phone again. "What was Viola doing outside his door?" He thought to himself.He got up and threw on his shirt with a bit of difficulty, because his head still hurt slightly.He went to the living room and pulled open the door for her. He stood in the doorway, peering down at her."Aren't you going to let me in? I mean, I did come all this way to see you. The least you can do is let me in." She said with a smile.James peered down the hallway and found it empty. As soon as he was certain that nobody was in sight, he stepped aside for her to walk in. He shut the door with a bang and locked it."What... What are you doing here, Viola?" James asked, standing a way off from her with his arms folded.V

Sarah looked around the room in confusion on hearing her name. Reality was dawning on her. Had they all been pawning her without her knowledge?"What is he talking about?" She asked Theodore with a furious glare."Father, you think it is wise to shout out our sins then, don't you? Go ahead then. Why don't you tell Sarah that the only reason Causey is out for her is because you promised to hand her over to him as a price." Theodore revealed."What??" Sarah uttered in shock.Mrs Brown covered her face with her hands out of shame." Yes! And while you are at it, why don't you also tell her the real reason we are all in this broken mess with you? Why don't you tell her how you gambled all our finances on a one-chance business deal with Causey that turned out to be illegal? Why don't you tell her how you pawned off our properties, documents, bank cards, and even our Company? And when you did not have those anymore, you offered her hand in marriage to Peter Causey...""That was your doing!

James woke up the next morning with His head aching. He got up with a start at the sight of Viola in his bed with her clothes on.She turned around with a smile on her face and watched him look her over with horror seated in his eyes."Oh my goodness!" She got up with a start as well. " Want happened?" She exclaimed, screaming in displeasure."Did we...?" She asked him, but James was just as confused. He could not remember what had happened to him after they had played some. games and started drinking."I don't know. I thought... We were..." He stammered."Oh my goodness! Oh my goodness!" Viola panicked."Oh no no, come on, Viola. Please, don't panic. I don't think anything really happened between us. I mean if it did, you... You wouldn't still be dressed, would you?" He asked her."I wouldn't. Oh my goodness, my... My... I'm sorry. Uh, maybe you are right. Nothing happened between us." She said looking at him through the side eyes. Confusion equally laced James' face and he was not s

The door to Anna's office opened up and the young man walked in. He was tall, handsome and looked alor like James would have if he was a certain age.She smiled at him, slightly weirded out by the slight resemblance he had to the Johnsons. She smiled at him, and got up to welcome him."Mr. Jericho, am I right?" She asked him and he nodded."Yes, and you must be Anna. It is nice to meet you. So, you work for the Johnsons." He said to her."I manage their personal assets. So, yes. Anyway, I can't assume you are here at the bank to speak about the Johnsons, are you?" She asked him and he shrugged."Would that be a bad thing? I mean you would be the right person to answer any questions that u would have in that regard, wouldn't you?" Mr. Jericho asked her.There was a shine in his bright blue eyes as he stared at her.Anna regarded him closely."Mr. Jericho. I appreciate the esteemed assumption but it is highly surprising why you would think that i would be the perfect person to answer yo

James went to his car and pulled out his box of rifles and set them on his lap."What are you doing?" The General asked him. James continued to rack through his weapons, pulling out a knife, a gun and a couple of other things."Where's the Captain?" James asked him. Suddenly realizing. "What? I don't know. Wasn't he inside the hall?" The General replied.James cocked his gun and handed it to the General. " He wasn't." James replied. His eyes remained pinned across the street.The charity event was probably still goin on."Listen. I have a strong feeling he is a part of this. When you find him, put a bullet in his shoulder for me. Some officers are back at the barracks. Stefan is one of them.“"The Lieutenant? You made a lieutenant stay back, James?" The General asles looking at him surprise."That is the least of our worries. Call him, call the cops too. Get men on the roofs. These bastards are amateurs anyway." He referred to the guards."What do you mean?" The General asked." They

"Mr. Rizzo, what's going on?" Her voice trembled. Her heart took on a sudden tempo that made her feel something was wrong."It is nothing, Miss Brown. They are friends, don't worry." As soon as he said that, one of the men walked up to her and hit her across the face.James shuddered in his seat. It hit him strongly like a sixth sense. His eyes began to scan the room for Sarah. He was sure he had seen her there a couple of moments ago."It is an honour to be gathered here. One of the greatest events is raising leaders," the president's speech continued."What is it, Mr. Johnson? Is everything okay?" The official beside him asked."Have you seen my wife? She is supposed to be seated there. She was, but, she is no longer there." James replied."I haven't seen her. But I will ask the other officials if you want." The woman offered."Please do." James replied, but that was not enough. He still felt a strange feeling beneath his chest. He knew something wasn't right.Suddenly, his phone be

The doorbell dinged, drawing the attention of the maid. She unlocked the door and took the uniform from the drycleaner.James was upstairs getting changed, while Sarah sat at her dressing table putting on her make up. His designed uniform had arrived, and he took it from the maid at the door.He turned to Sarah as soon as he was done putting on his clothes. They had not spoken since their last argument.Sarah noticed his struggle with a button. Everything accused her of what she was about to do. The silence between her screamed at her too.So, she got up from her dressing stool and walked up to him. She helped him pin the badges he had gotten before on his new uniform."I have to admit, you do look handsome in this uniform." She said with a smile.James looked into her eyes, but did not smile. He just stared, his eyes on hersnwere apologetic. And just like that, they both silently agreed that it was cool.He pressed his lips to hers, and kissed her. "I love you." He murmured against h

"You say that as if I am under your control or something!" Sarah said, raisin her voice at him."Control? Now you think I am trying to control you? Where do you get these ideas from??" James asked, looking at her in amazement."This is not about where I get my ideas from. It is if those ideas are true or not. James, I need this charity event. It is going to be good for my business and regaining my family's name and financial freedom.""And what if it is just a trap? You said it yourself, something doesn't add up about them. What they are doing does not seem right, or does it?" "I think I already clarified that doubt. Everything is fine, and with the massive turn up for the event, I will have more than hundreds of people making upfront payments to me, just so that I can handle their events." "And then? And then what, Sarah? What next?" James asked her."What do you mean by that? It is all I really need!" She replied angrily."You are not going for that event. And if I have to lock yo

"I know, but this, is exactly what it seems, General." James replied."The Inauguration ceremony is two days from now on, we cannot have any more problems. Sort out the security issues before anymore problems ensue." The General murmured."Yes General." James replied.Although he knew who the man had been referring to when he said Causey was working with someone who had a daughter, he still needed palpable evidence.***Sarah sat back in her office chair, savouring the light of the afternoon, as the knock sounded on her door."Come in!" She called out.The door opened and the woman who was dressed in an emerald green suit, walked in. Her eyes scouring the room in admiration."These are beautiful sets of furnitures. How else can one explain the idea of class, luxury and a gracious ambience if not this office?" The Editorial representative of Forbes whom she had met at the rehearsal for the Charity event complimented her."Thank you so much, Miss Brianne." Sarah smiled."I must say that

"Thank you for the advice. Now, don't ever call me up if it isn't something to do with you and my daughter getting a divorce." Mrs Brown said in a snide manner.Without waiting for a response, she got up and walked out of the restaurant. Sarah woke up that morning to find James gone. It was completely unlike him to just leave without speaking to her or at least letting her know he was leaving.Her phone had already been loaded with tons of messages concerning the charity event. Three people had already reached out to her organization to inform her they would be needing her services the next month."My goodness, basically every week in August is booked! I told you this would be a huge opportunity turn around for you." Viola said to Sarah when they met each other later that day."I couldn't agree more. Just one connect. I can't believe I haven't even done the interview yet and six people have already messaged me to handle their event security and organization.""In no time I would have

"Yes ma'am." The guard replied."Sarah! Oh my goodness, I did not believe you would actually show up!" Viola squealed as soon as she saw Sarah walk into the hall."I love your dress. It is exquisite." Sarah complimented her, before kissing the air beside her cheeks."I can't believe he allowed you to come out at this hour. Are you good? Are you sure?" Viola asked her and Sarah nodded."I don't want you and I to have any problems, Viola. At least for business sake." Sarah responded."I completely understand. I agree totally. I wouldn't want any issues between the two of us either." Viola replied. "Anyway, I am glad you came. There is someone here who would love to meet you.""This is just to prove to you that there will be a lot of people to connect with on the main event day. Sarah, meet Brianne. Brianne is one of the formal Editorial representatives for Forbes magazine. She had a lot of business contacts and event opportunities that could fly your brand in one second.""Wow, it is an

James' eyes flashed. "I knew it was you. It was the same man he had chased round the hotel. The man who had hit him and run away."You trusted the wrong people, but if you tell me everything you know now, I will make sure you get a pardon and not all charges will be knocked on you." James said to him."Tell me why I should trust you." The man said to him."Give me.one good reason why I shouldn't bust up your ass here and light it up like a Christmas tree." James retorted. "Then again I suppose you would not have called me here if you didn't trust me to listen to you first.""I just want their reign of terror to end! First it was my wife and now, me! We are all trapped in this circle of use! We are indebted to that man and he ahs made us his slaves!" The man cried."Let me guess, Causey? Peter Causey?" James asked him."Peter Causey and someone else. I don't know his name, but I know he has a daughter, and he even hired this popular man who ran the great Chen heist." The man responded.

Sarah stared at Viola in consideration of what she had asked her. "How certain are you that all these people would attend?" Sarah asked her."Ask certain as I am of the fact that the darkness would cover the night sky tonight." Viola replied."Fine, I will attend the event, but only for my business sake. But I don't want to see you anywhere close to James. Are we clear?" Sarah asked.Viola rose her hands in surrender. "As you please." Sarah turned around and left. She bumped into Anna on her way heading to the elevator. It surprised Anna that she had been there, but she didn't even stop to apologize for bumping into her.Sarah put the phone to her ear and almost immediately, her assistant's voice came over the phone. "Where are you? "She asked her."Ma'am, I'm at the new office trying to set up." Her assistant responded. Sarah's face morphed into a frown. "What new office?" She asked her."I received your email this morning. Your husband said..." The girl kept quiet out of sudden con
