THE DESPISED SON-IN-LAW Chapter 171
Mrs Brown's voice came over the phone. "We need to speak with you now!" She said to him. The urgency of her words had James rush to the hospital, completely worried.Everyone had a livid expression on their faces when he walked in. He was surprised to find Mr. Brown alone in the room Mrs Brown had called him to. Mr. Brown's eyes widened on seeing James."What are you doing here?" He asked James."Mrs Brown called me. She said you both had something urgent to tell me. Is Sarah okay? Hope there is nothing wrong?" Mr. Brown rolled his eyes to the heavens."That woman." He muttered through gritted teeth."What is going on, Mr. Brown? Is everything okay?" James asked again"Yes ... I mean, no. Nothing is okay. Williams Smith has been threatening us with some false story about us having some money stored away somewhere that we didn't want Causey to know about." Mr. Brown explained."Wow. He is still on that? Why? What is the problem now?""Now, he is requesting for two hundred million dolla

A smile paused at his lips and James raised his hand in surrender. They walked together back to the table where Williams had been previously seated. James sat first and Williams took the seat opposite from him."So, tell me. Now that we are both here. What was going you so much confidence to speak to me over the phone? You sounded... Urgent." Williams smirked at him."You sent for me, and that was why I called." James replied, with an expression that was devoid of emotion.Williams nodded at him, amused by his sense of humor. "You have a sense of humor but that is fine. Did you bring the money?" He asked James."What money? I don't remember owing you any amount of money." James replied coldly."Are you sure? Then I assume you aren't here to deal. But it is a good thing you came, and now..." He pulled out a gun and pointed it at James."So, you are threatening me now??" James asked him. Williams narrowed his eyes at him."Where is the money? You were meant to bring about two hundred m

Williams pressed his gun ti his side. He was out of bullets and that was the only reason he did not fight him back through out the time James spoke to him.James got out of the car and walked back to the front of the bar where ehis car was, got in and left the scene. Williams pulled out his phone and dialed Mr. Brown's number."You are finished. Consider yourself done for. When I come for you, be prepared, I won't come alone." He said and cut the call."I knew it! I knew that James Character was no good! Look what has happened now! Now Williams has been enraged. If he comes for us, you better be prepared!" Mrs Brown yelled out."Can you calm down?? You are the one who got him involved in this in the first place. Do you think Sarah would be proud to hear we involved James into this matter without consulting her first.""Oh shut up! Sarah deserves to know! We are all doomed! James doesn't sleep or live with us! What If Williams comes in the middle of the night, who will we call?""Calm

"Two hundred thousand dollars? Why two hundred thousand dollars?" Sarah asked him. He bopped his head from side to side as though listening to a song."Isn't that generally the amount he handed to Causey on your behalf? Or did he pay more?" James replied turning to Mr. Brown."I do not believe so. Right at the same time, he pushed the wedding date closer than it had been and Jasmine returned home for the breaks and she helped Sarah figure out Williams's bluff. I do not think he made any more payments than what we are unaware of." Mr. Brown replied."That's fine. I'll do what I can to stop this Williams character, but until then I will have guards secure the perimeters where you live and everything will be covered until his disturbance is over." James said in finality.Mr. Brown smiled at him weakly and then turned to Sarah. "I'll be outside." He nodded at her."Viola came by the house. She wanted to see you." James said to her."You know I do not buy into her little miss in recent beh

The knock sounded on Peter Causey's office door. He looked up from his computer and answered. "Come in."The door opened and one of his henchmen walked into his office. " You have a visitor Sir." The man said.Causey looked at him with a frown on his face and nodded. "Let him in."Williams walked into Causey's office with a livid expression all over his face. He looked at Causey with intensity as he took a seat across from him."Williams, Williams... I don't recall asking you to sit down. It is rather difficult for you to respect people's rules and regulations, Isn't it so?""Personal space, boundaries, and all that shit is kind of difficult for you to mutualize with." Causey cocked his brows at him."Listen, I am not here for a chit-chat about the past. Chit-chat about history, chitty-chat about personal boundaries. Most especially, your boundaries.""Then what brings you here to my humble abode??? What has made you come visit me today??? Why are you here Williams Smith??? Answer th

"Easy Causey, I am not the problem, the Browns are. I only came to warn you. Mr. Brown is trying to play a fast one on all of us, and they are rushing James Johnson and his position as cover. Will you let that happen?" Williams asked him."As soon as you are done being delusional, you can leave my office, before I call security," Causey said to him."Do not say I didn't warn you." Williams got up and picked up his bag before leaving. As soon as he left, Causey's henchman came in."Find everything you can about the Brown's latest activities... And get me Curtly on the line immediately. Got it?""Yes Boss ". The man bowed and walked out.Williams walked out of Causey's company building with s smile on his face. He knew Causey had eaten straight into his hands and would try to bypass him and get to the Browns himself."Oh dear Causey, let's play the game how you want it played." He put on his sunglasses and got into his car.Mr. Crutly was still at the hospital when a nurse entered his r

"Ask your father. Do not say I did not warn you. Excuse me, Mr. Brown." The lady said and walked away."Who was that? What did she want from you, Father?" Theodore asked him."Listen, right now Causey is on our neck and he is about to pull down everything we have spent years working on. We did this all wrong. If Sarah finds out that we have been making all these other deals behind our back, she will never forgive us.""What? You mean Causey knows? How does Causey know Father? We kept this hidden from him for so long. All the monies I made from the deal doubling is what you want to throw into the dust??""I did not say we are giving it out, but I am afraid that Causey might find out and take it all from us nonetheless." Mr. Brown replied."Why would Causey find out? Haven't we already settled Mr. Curtly well enough?""You really have no idea what has been going on, do you?? Williams threatened me, he found out somehow that we had bought shares in several companies, and guess what? He

Theodore took the phone into the bathroom and received the call. " What do you want, Causey?" He asked as soon as he received the call."Bummer, I really hoped I would catch Sarah on this line, but I guess you are either more crafty than I gave you credit for, or she just doesn't want to speak with me." Peter Causey replied."What do you want?""If I find out by even a fraction of what I hear about your family hiding a certain form of wealth from me, then I must say you all have death wishes hanging on your shoulders." Causey threatened him."I do not remember the last time you were caught in the middle of a gossip. So, since when did you start paying attention to side talks and little gossip? Come on Causey, you are better than that." Theodore said to him."I've told you what I am going to do," Causey said to him and cut the call. The door opened and Sarah popped her face into the room."Theodore?? Are you okay??" She asked, and Theodore got out of the bathroom. He pretended to zip u

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
