THE DESPISED SON-IN-LAW Chapter 150
Mrs Brown sat in the living room waiting for her husband to return. Her expression was stiff and unreadable. At the sound of the front door opening and shutting, she perched up."What is going on?" She asked him."What do you mean?" He placed his brief case on the table."Why are you suddenly in support of James Johnson and his relationship with Sarah?" She queried."Why shouldn't I be? Isn't it time you let go of old wounds?" He asked her back."Old wounds? You call his act of deceiving us into thinking he was poor an old wound? On what account does he reserve the right to deceive us?" She asked him."You really have a problem with Sarah being happy? Well, I am not by any means going to fight her on this one anymore. Sarah has done everything that we required of her. Not once did she ever complain and now, I leave her to be happy with whatever decision she has been led to take." Mr. Brown retorted."You all are impossible! I will never accept that unfortunate child as my grandchild

"One foot after the other." James said to Sarah as he assisted her in walking into the new apartment he had rented for them to live in. It was bigger than the last one and more classynthan the previous one.Sarah marveled at the interior decor which was a smooth cream with a touch of black colour with beautiful artworks and furnitures.He incorporated the high quality technology systems which were his company's signature products.An average height woman in her forties walked out of the kitchen, dressed in a maid's uniform. Behind her was another lady, a much younger girl in her twenties, also dressed in her maid's uniform."Sarah, this is Mrs Sanchez and Penelope. Miss Penelope here and Mrs Sanchez will be your assistants while I'm away. They will stay in the spare room, and will be our very own live in helps." James explained to her.Sarah turned to him with wary eyes. She wasnt certain whether bringing strangers into their home was the best thing to do at the time."Hello. " She

The Captain walked into the room, followed by two of his men."What is he doing here?" Causey asked angrily."He is a very vital part of this plan, Peter. Apparently, you have not associated with the man who helped us hire Dark Clouds. Captain Sean Carlos" Mr. Antonio Rizzo said."He is my cousin from my mother's side." Mr. Rizzo explained.Peter Causey caught the Captain in a staring stand off. He considered it bad enough that they had to deal with James being an Army personnel, now he had to endure a Captain?"James Johnson is not a fool and as much as we all have his gut, the only way we can get to him is through his family. His wife is pregnant, a more sensitive moment for the young man, if you ask me." "Sarah's pregnant?" Viola questioned him. "Well, this is getting interesting. So you've been vying to shag a pregnant woman." She mocked Causey."She did not know about it until recently, or so I thought. That's not the problem now. What do you suggest that we do?" Causey asked t

"You do not see anything wrong with it, do you? James is using you, Sarah. Yes! He wants to get back at you for all the times that we treated him bad.""And he had to include gettyme pregnant to prove what point exactly, Mother?" Sarah retorted sharply."You got pregnant all on your own terms. You let him touch you! That good for nothing show border suddenly wants to make his mark and you are allowing it.""Not mother, what I should not have allowed is James letting you into his house to sit here and insult him. What hasn't he done to prove that he loves me? Why go through the stress of saving me over and over just to destroy me?""He is a psychopath! Don't you read your books? Sarah, I brought you up to be a lot wiser than to let a silly thing like love pull you in. James Johnson is not the man for you.""And why are you so obssessed in proving that? Why don't you let me make my mistake and see for myself? The choices you made for me, I did try them. Frankly, I don't understand why I

Sarah felt an unusual tiredness around the discussion. For certain, this time, she was not going to doubt James again. She turned away from Jasmine and continued eating her food quietly.James walked into the General's office where he had a meeting with the President and the Captain regarding the Security arrangements for the upcoming event."Sir, I have made arrangements for twelve security officers outside the building. It is awareness that there will be certain plans to attack the base while the officers are away. We need to keep some of our able men guarding the post.""Such attacks are meant to be confirmed before action is taken," James commented as he walked in."Johnson, I am glad you could make it. Please have a seat." The President said to him. The President was a tall, white-haired man with grey eyes and straight lips.He smiled at James as he spoke to him. Whereas, the Captain threw James an offensive look."Yes, these claims have been strongly confirmed." The Captain repl

The Captain stared after James angrily, as he picked up his phone and dialed a number on his phone."We need to talk right away, something just came up." He cut the call.As James walked across the street to get to where his car was parked, a car drove past him with such speed nearly running him over.He jumped over the car and fell to the other side of the street where his car was parked. The driver stopped and when they saw he was moving, they drove away speedilyA couple of passersby rushed up to James to check if he was okay, and they helped him up to his feet. He had a little blood on his shirt and from where he scratched his arm on the slab."Are you okay, Mister?" A man asked him."Yes, I am fine. Thank you." James got up."You're bleeding!" One of the women there yelled out. "I'll call a Doctor right away." She said pulling out her phone."Did you see what car it was?" James asked the man who helped him up."Yes an Esquire Jeep. Red, what are you...?""Thank you." James thanke

Mr. Brown walked into the United Bank building again, but this time he was stopped at the door by the Secretary."I'm sorry Sir, you can't go in today." She said to him rudely."Why not?" Mr. Brown asked back. He held his briefcase close to his side as he spoke."The General Manager of the bank received a call this morning and before he stepped out, he instructed us that you are not to be let into the bank to speak with anyone except he is around. I'm sorry, Mr. Brown, but you will have to leave." Mr. Brown looked around him cautiosly, unsure whether this was some sort of coded plot by Mr. Curtly to keep the black mailers at bay."That's fine. I'll come back tomorrow." He said and walked out of the building. As soon as he stepped out the door, a black venza stopped in front of him and the windows rolled down.Williams Smith stared up at him and unlocked the car door for him to come in. Mr. Brown looked down at him warily, tempted to run from him. But his feet remained stuck.He looke

And his eyes were glistening with tears. Williams stared at Mr. Brown's heaving frame. He was certain that he had seen the evidence the journalist who called him had sent."I don't know why you think I would not pull this trigger on you right now if you don't get out of this car, get into that Bank, and pull out all the money I asked for.""Like I said, go ahead and shoot. Williams, you won't shoot me. You know why? Because you need me alive for you to blackmail me, and I don't care!""Yes! I don't care because I do not have a dime! Go ahead make a mockery of yourself and visit the bank yourself. Make inquiries. Check all my accounts, assets fundings, vaults! Safes! Do it all in my name and you will know how needy I am.""Then take it to the press and have them release it. If you do that, I would be extremely grateful to you. You know why? This nonsense of me having money somewhere you all know nothing about would end and I would gain my freedom of movement again."Williams gave him a

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
