THE DESPISED SON-IN-LAW Chapter 125
"You listen to that stupid girl way too much! I have warned you severally that Jasmine is not someone you ought to be paying any attention to. She is a wild card!" Mrs Brown scolded Sarah."Mother! Come on, that is too much please!" Sarah retorted."You think? Tell me, what decent girl goes around cities dressing in skimpy clothes, claiming to be a lifestyle model?" Mrs Brown scoffed with her nose squeezed in disgust."One who is making a lot of cash and killing it in America!" Jasmine chirped, as she walked into their living room."Oh really? Your mother called two weeks ago! Jasmine, two weeks ago, and do you know what she told me?" Mrs Brown said to her.Jasmine rolled her eyes sarcastically at her and plopped down into the chair beside Sarah."She told me that she has not heard from you in six months. Six months Jasmine! What sort of daughter are you? I have sent money to her more than three times this month. You have not sent her a dime now, have you?" Mrs Brown queried her.

"Why are you doing this?" The General asked the man in front of him. He had a mask on. But the General was far too familiar with that mask."You really underestimate me, General. I do not want much from you. I just want us to discuss." The electronic magnified voice filled the room."What do you want to talk about?" The General's voice was already rough as a result of the cold that seemed to surround the part of town they were in."That stunt you and your men pulled... It cost me a whole lot." The voice said."You cost yourself a whole lot. You thought you were harming the Military by setting up such a huge pick on Mr. Chen. Dark clouds, you lost more than a dozen men. Now, you pick a fight with me?" The General chuckled."My fight is not with you." Dark Clouds said, moving his gun in his hand."Oh, James Johnson then. You are really lacking in skillfulness and tact. I mean, do you really want me to believe that this is solely about James Johnson? Okay fine! Say it is. Then what?" Th

James turned around to find the Captain standing across the street from him. He walked over to where he stood."What is it?" James asked. His hands were folded across his chest."What were you doing over at the laboratory?" The captain asked.James suspected that he had seen him go in with the plank, and so he thought to structure his next reply carefully."Well, something needed fixing and I went to check it out. Anyway, how is the search for the General coming along?" James asked him.The General gave him a penetrating look that depicted mistrust and suspicion. James kept his shoulders high and his arms folded."The search is going fine. The men are out looking for evidence and... And any... Anything that could b-b-be a lead!" The General stammered nervously."Why aren't you with them?" James asked. He had long had his suspicions about the Captain but he needed to be certain first."I had to see to things here at the base. And you? What re you not out doing your job?" The Captain re

Sarah realized she would have to stand up and figure things out for herself. Williams was surely hiding something. Why on earth would he be pushing for them to get married while she was yet to get a proper divorce from James?She waited outside the city Hall where Williams had gone to speak with the Marriage Registrar about the wedding proceedings."Listen, I need you to tell me what has been going on." Jasmine's voice cut into her thoughts.Sarah turned to her, pushing her black shades further up her eyes."I do not know either. Williams changed all of a sudden from the moment he decided to push that engagement down my throat. He became hostile all of a sudden and that... This is all too suspicious!" Sarah blurted out."Duck!" Jasmine pushed her down as soon as Williams turned in their direction. The red Elantra SE was parked just outside the City Hall."That was close," Jasmine commented. They both watched William's car drive out of the parking lot and away from the surroundings."W

James's phone vibrated severally within his pockets as he crept towards one of the big open windows that belonged to the shed. There were railings on one of them, but the other was used as an avenue for fully airing out the room.It also had a long flexible pipe standing beside it."Get the other men to the front. " The deep voice instructed.James could hear a low grunting sound coming from inside the room."Hey! You better eat, it is going to be a really long night in for us all." The man muttered."I'm not hungry." The voice James knew so well replied.His heart skipped a beat when he realized that he had been right all along."The General!" He exclaimed to himself.James charged up and rushed to the other side of the shed which had an open window with bars. He peeped at the tall man who stood in front of the door. The General looked okay. He was not bruised or beaten up.The man moved to the other window without bars and James saw his chance.Without wastinf any more time, he ran

"Boss, we will handle this one. You take the girl and get out of here." One of the men said to Dark Clouds."You had better not fail me." Dark Clouds muttered and walked out of the room with two guards.James and the General both heard the heavy footsteps thudding down the steps. They both cocked their guns and ran towards the under of the staircase until the men had run towards the area they had come from.They both heard the front door shut and James nodded at the General to go after those leaving, while he handled those inside the house."No, we do this together." The General pointed to a table ahead of them. James nodded and as the men turned back towards the staircase, both of them lifted up the table and threw it at them, hitting them all at once.Together, they made for the front door as soon as the car revved out of the driveway."My car is down front! Come on!" James yelled. The General follows him out the gate towards the entrance of the estate where his car was parked.They

He pushed the door open and walked into the room. Both the General and James turned to look at him. The General's daughter pressed closer to her father."Captain!" The General said with a smile on his face. "Thanks for being there just in time to catch those men. My daughter... She was also saved because of your timely intervention." "Just doing my job, Sir. After all, the real hero is Johnson here." James turned to the Captain at the mention of his name. They both exchanged a mutually unpleasant knowing look. It was obvious to James that he did not mean what he said wholly."Yes. Get better Johnson. I have to take my princess here home." The General pulled his daughter closer to him."Thank you for saving me, Mr. Johnson." She said in a small voice.Johnson nodded weakly and flashed her a smile.Together, the General and his daughter walked out of the hospital room.Although the General had already left, the Captain remained.James caught his penetrative stare and returned it.The

"No! I'm calling off the wedding."James turned to her sharply. He would have pulled her closer to him if he could, but he could not reach out."What? How come?" He asked, even though he did not really care. It was great news to him."I... I found out the truth. Williams and Causey are together." Sarah replied."What?" It was not a surprise but, all the same, it shocked him that she had come to find out herself."Williams is such a liar. And he pinned it all on you and made me believe that you had something to do with it. I am so sorry for believing him and not you ." She apologized.James' already dark eyes narrowed at her. This was the first time he had sent her so broken. Sarah was so beautiful, that he had not even realized she had not put on any makeup that morning. She had just shown up at the hospital as if she had just woken up."I have nothing against you, Sarah. Absolutely nothing. I love you and that is my only fault. I would never let anyone or anything make you feel stup

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
