THE DESPISED SON-IN-LAW Chapter 141
Causey walked into the room where Sarah was kept. She had her hands to her back, but she held the syringe securely in it as well."Well well well..." Causey walked up to her. He bent beside her and pulled her legs closer to where he sat."You look amazing tonight." He said to her leeringly. Sarah whimped and tried t draw her leg back but he reached out and pulled them to himself again.Sarah made muffling sounds against the gag that was on her mouth."I'm tired of waiting for you to get treated. Looks like the nurse was not interested in helping you anyway." Causey teased as he carressed her bare legs.Sarah shuddered at the feel of his hands on her skin."But don't worry. I'll wait just one more night. Once you get treated, I won't even wait for twenty four hours before making you mine. Just so you know, James isn't coming to save you. Because he was here earlier on, but he had no idea you were here.""Guess what, he left!" Causey laughed out at her.Sarah cried to herself as she tho

Causey's eyes widened with surprise at Sarah's words. He was not sure he heard her correctly."What? What did you say??" He asked, tapping her leg but she had been knocked out by now. James walked into the house. Surprisingly, there was no one guarding the place at the time and so it was easy for him to get in.Although, once he got in, he did not expect it, and the first bullet flew past his ears. He turned and saw one of Causey's men shooting at him from behind a glass door.He ducked and pulled out a gun and began shooting back at him.He remembered the General was outside waiting for him, and so, he pulled out his phone and dialed his number."Johnson! What is gong on right now??" The General shouted over the noise of shooting on the phone."I'm in a shoot out, Sir! I need back up now!" James shouted back into the phone.The General quickly sent out a distress call to Mateo and immediately got out of the car.He rushed to the back of the house where James had said he would be goi

James stared wide eyed at the Doctor again. What did she mean by Sarah was pregnant? Had she?"Was she hurt?" He asked her."Hurt? As in... Did he force himself on her? No, nothing happened and she is fine. Timely intervention I would say." The Doctor replied with a smile.James let out a sigh of relief and flashed her a curt smile."Relax, Mr. Johnson and be happy. Your wife is going to be fine. And most importantly, you are going to be a father." She said to him and turned away.James walked towards the door leading to Sarah's room. He did not know how to feel about it. In all their years of being together, sleeping together. It was just a matter of the moment, nothing long-term.A part of him feared she would despise him for it, or hate the fact that she was carrying his child. At least, he believed it was his.James pushed the hospital room door open a bit. Sarah was awake, but she lay down, staring up at the Celine.At the sound of the door hinges moving, she turned sideways. Her

He turned around quietly and walked away."Yes mum, you are right. I mean, what denial is this?? What would you gain from lying to yourself about me? About my relationship with James? I have never had anything to do with Williams!" Sarah yelled out."I wish you had!" Mrs Brown retorted."Father..." Sarah complained."Listen, darling, you need to rest. Leave her be now. Let's go outside and talk... Right now!" Mr. Brown said to Mrs Brown and stormed out of the room angrily.James scratched his head in absolute confusion as he walked to and from the room. In the short while he had been away from her, had she...?His mind refused to connect the dots as he should have. He was lost.Theodore walked up to the hospital door where James stood, contemplating what he had heard"Hello, James." He said to him with his hands fixed in his pockets."Hy, Theodore." They shook hands cordially. Neither expresses emotions further than anything pertaining to a business-like standard."I want to thank you

Sarah held his hand."This child is ours, James. And if you doubt that, then I will be more than willing to run a paternity test."It felt as though she had suddenly developed a way to break into his thoughts. He looked up at her in surprise, and the look in her eyes gave him all the intellect he needed.She was afraid. Afraid he was rejecting her."I don't doubt it, Sarah. I just imagined... "Sarah's eyes showed that she understood, and that was something they had never shared before. An understanding."Do you still need to go home?" She asked him.His eyes laughed at how silly it sounded now that she said it to him."I think I'll head over to the base. Some officers are outside standing guard. The General's orders. He wants me to help him run some supervision errands before the inauguration ceremony on Monday.""But it's Friday. Do you really have to do that? Can't someone else handle it?" Sarah pouted."It is not so much fun having someone else be trusted by the General." He winke

The Captain strode away from the gateman angrily. He looked absolutely pissed as he walked away from there.James watched them with sternly as the Captain got into his car and began making a call. His words came in rushes and he kept slamming the steering wheel."What he hell, Conrad! Everything is being set up as we speak and you have no idea that the event might be moved to a closer date because of your incompetence!" The Captain into his phone.James walked up to him and knocked on his car window. The Captain turned around to face him, and immediately cut the call. He stared ahead of him for a while before deciding to bring down the glass."Hey Captain. Everything okay?" James asked, squinting his eyes against the sunlight."Yes, everything is fine Johnson. How's your family? I heard they got kidnapped?" The Captain replied.James smiled at him."It was just my wife but she's fine now. Thanks for asking.""How is the search for Dark Clouds coming along?" James asked.The Captain se

Mr. Brown walked into the United Bank building, holding a bunch of papers and a brief case. The shutters of the camera captured him walking into the building."Hy, I am here to see the Manager." He said to one of the receptionists at the front office."This way Sir." She said and led him up the stairs.The Manager's office was a wide space, with white walls and faint blue lines. Mr. Brown sat in the waiting sofa which was just inside the office. The Manager, a plum, average height man with receding hair, building eyes and a smart mouth on him sat at the desk receiving a phone call."Thank you, Mr. Curtly." He said and put down the receiver.He turned to Mr. Brown as soon as the phone was down and smiled at him."Mr. Brown, over here please, let's talk. " He said to him.Mr. Brown got up and walked over to the chair, he sat across from him."How are you doing today Mr. Brown?" "Very well. I brought the documents and the papers I need to put them in the treasury. I believe nobody else

Sarah opened her eyes and she smiled as Jasmine walked into her room."Hey, how are your feeling?" Jamsine asked her."I have a slight headache. It is nothing too serious, don't worry. How are you?" "I am all good. How's the food? I hear they have a great cook now." Jasmine teased."Ha-ha, very funny. Actually, the food is really good. Any better than this and I would be back here two days after discharge."Jasmine laughed at her."Look, I think you should really stop listening to your mum, and try to speak to her in a way that she listens to you." Jasmine said."I honestly don't think my mum and I have a communicating ability, Jasmine. I really have tried conversing with her through this but she is adamant and she is bent on making this about her! She is selfish.""I mean, James is wealthy, he has everything we never thought he had before. Yet, somehow, she desires to screw him over just like that." Sarah retorted."Well, she does have that capacity to destroy a man with her words,

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
