THE DESPISED SON-IN-LAW Chapter 41
James purposely lost the first hand of cards, just so he could deceive the Mexican into staking higher bets. As soon as he was certain he had boosted the ego of the buffy, gruff, looking man, he decided it was time to play real cards."I'll stake five hundred thousand dollars." James said to the man. By now Pedro's expression was woeful and full of fear, he thought perhaps this was James' way of getting back at his grandfather for dragging him out against his will.Meanwhile, Mr. Gregory Johnson's expression remained neutral and pacified."I like your kind of man. You have great faith and a strong resolution in your inability." The Mexican said to James.A coy smile flashed over James' lips as he stared at him. "What's your stake? And please, by all means, don't feel intimidated by me, I may not even win. If I do, it would just be a great faith at play " James said.The Mexican watched him apprehensively for a moment and began to laugh."Sure, I stake one million dollars, and my gold

Sarah continued to look around the room in search of the man she had spoken with previously. "Have you seen a man with a full-face gold and black face mask?" Sarah asked one person."He is tall, big body build, probably a bit high, or maybe not, he is wearing a beautiful, shiny black suit." She described it to another person."No Ma'am, sorry." The young man replied."Sarah, what is wrong with you? Here I am trying to link you up with a high-profile, handsome young man and there you are trying to ruin things as if this effort counts as nothing!"Her mother accosted her amidst her search. Sarah rolled her eyes at her mother and scoffed. "High profiled young man? Mother, he is living off his Father's wealth just as I am and he is not even that rich." Sarah said to her mother."Oh my goodness, suddenly you are concerned about the profile type of a person's wealth. Since when did we have the luxury of that option?"Although Mrs Brown continued speaking, she did not in the least have Sara

Sarah was surprised to look up and find the man she had been searching everywhere for, holding her by her wrist.Although he had not been wearing the same mask anymore, because he had found a stray mask lying around and picked it up, in exchange for his.James pulled her up and held her in his arms."You! Don't...""Not the time, we need to go now." He said to her in urgency. Turning to notice the men with guns entering the building, Sarah nodded and followed him.James took a different route through the kitchen and broke out in a quiet, empty place outside, which was meant to be the back of the kitchen. He motioned to Sarah to be quiet, as he knew that the men would have surrounded the building in search of him."What is it?" Sarah asked in a hushed tone."We need to scout the area and be certain that nobody is in sight before we leave. Follow me closely and when I give you the signal, make sure you run without looking back." James urged her."Okay" Sarah nodded. This was crazy! She

Early the next morning, James got up, took a shower, and got dressed for work. His Grandfather, Mr. Gregory Johnson had already been up and was at the dinner table having breakfast."Good morning young Master." One of the maids greeted him as he walked down the stairs."Thank you," James nodded his appreciation.He passed a couple more maids who were dusting and cleaning. A smug smile played on his lips, he had not expected to see human beings as maids, working within the mansion.James walked into the dining room which was manned by two robots standing at each end of the table. He paused in his tracks and let out a short laugh."I was surprised to see actual human beings as maids, especially, doing the cleaning and dusting. Since everything here has been self-mechanized and should be able to help itself clean." James commented to his grandfather.They had not fully pushed the waters under the bridge yet, but, after the previous night, they had built some form of understanding that al

Sarah got down from her car, and walked into the restaurant which she usually had lunch in during work hours. "Welcome Ma," the waiter said to her."Hello, how are you? I would like to have your pork chops and stew please. Add some chips to it, okay?" She said to the waiter and he nodded."Alright Ma, whar kind of wine would you like?" He asked."White, no cherries please " she smiled. The waiter understood her other because she was a regular. He equally smiled at her and nodded his understanding.Few minutes later, he returned with her order, rolling it in a moving table, along with the bottle of white and a glass.While he was pouring the wine in, a man passed by her, and then, suddenly, he paused and turned back and retraced his step, bringing them to a stop beside her table.Sarah looked up from her meal, and gazed at the somewhat famiar face that she just couldn't place a finger on."Sarah Brown?" He asked her with a handsome smirk."Yeahhhh. I'm Sorry, am I supposed to also kno

Sarah stared at the bundle of notes on the table as Will turned and walked away. Sarah wat he'd his retreating back as he left.Will walked up to the car outside and pulled out his phone. "Hello? I'm on my way there now."It took only a few minutes to get to where he was going. He asked his drive to stop two blocks away from where he was going."I'll be out in an hour's time. I have an important meeting. Take a ride around the block, grab lunch, pick up some orders and get back here in an hour so time." Will said to his driving, and handed him a couple of dolalr notes for his use."Alright Sir." The driver replied.Will went into the Chinese restaurant which was where he had asked his driver to stop. "Wengs" was a popular restaurant in the area.Willw alked into the restaurant and went out it's back door, passing through the kitchen. Nobody said a word to him because they knew who he was. Wall street had only few kingpins in the area, and Will was one of them. He had lived in New Yor

James watched the news that morning, which spoke of the school bus which had been hijacked, and the students who had gone missing. That was after he had received that morning from his source."Damien, how are you? What's new?" James asked him."Miss Sarah was spotted with a new friend. I ran a background check on him. His name is Williams Smith, Six feet tall, and the son of Billionaire, Travis Smith. They are mining in the area, and have a water rigging system being built around the city." Damien replied.Damien was the man James left on charge of watching Sarah for him. It was the only way he knew she would be safe, and nothing could happen to her without his knowledge."They sound decent," James said."Yeah, they do sound decent. Except, they are not all that. They are currently wanted in three countries as we speak." Damien replied."The entire family?" James asked."Yes, but, Will has personally been suspected to dabble in shady businesses under an alias no one is certain of yet.

Sarah watched him in confusion awaiting his reply, but he merely stared at her with his continuous smirk."Are you by any chance referring to the school girls who were kidnapped not too long ago?" She asked."Yes I mean this is obvious enough, isn't it? The elections are approaching and rival parties have already begun their war on one another. This is just a preview of how dirty and selfish politicians can be in today's world." Will explained with an expression of seriousness on his face."Isn't your Father a politician or perhaps an aspirant?" Sarah asked, watching him closely."Tell me, what do you think of people who are involved in sex trafficking? Men or women who sell young men and women for money?" Will asked, studying her expression as he asked the question."Well, first of all, I think they are despicable human beings, who deserve a punishment worse than death," Sarah replied coldly."Wow, that is harsh. I mean how do they really make you feel? Do they make your skin crawl w

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
