THE DESPISED SON-IN-LAW Chapter 82
James laid out the expensive grey suit which he had ordered from the designer's store in Paris. He smiled at the fine texture, the beautiful check pattern that ran down the front pocket, and the flower that stood on it.He smiled at himself, remembering his love for luxurious things, and how he had deprived himself of the chance to spend time in that luxury because he wanted to remain close to his father.When he retired from the army and beard that his father owed the Browns a huge sum of money, he could not find it within him to ask his grandfather for a dime, and so, he agreed to marry his daughter and enslave himself to them for years.He knew it was a long shot, but he had already been in love with Sarah from the moment he laid eyes on her. It only made sense to him that he could kill their birds with one stone.He could stay close to his father, and be with the woman he loved, whilst also clearing his father's debts.That had been the plan, and no matter how far he had run from

"James?" Sarah's heart thumped as confusion set in her eyes. She pinched her arm lightly or perhaps there was some joke and this was a big prank."Why do you look different?"The word She was aiming for was 'expensive'."What Ludacris nonsense is this!" Mrs Brown exclaimed. "Okay, this is some prank. But why would you go this length just to make a fool of my daughter?" Mrs Brown asked James."I told you that this guy was no good! He has absolutely no use! Now, he pranked you??" Mrs Brown continued to rant.Sarah stayed mute and was confused. How did James know she would be there?The door to the restaurant opened and Mr. Gregory Johnson walked into the place. Mrs Brown immediately recognized him as a well-known business tycoon and nearly sunk in her chair."M-m-mr. Johnson! It is such a pleasure to meet you. I am sorry for this hassle. You need to leave now. Sarah has an important business meeting to attend to. " Mrs Brown snapped her fingers at James, but he didn't budge.Rather, two

Sarah turned around abruptly to find Williams standing there, dressed in a waistcoat."What are you doing here?" She asked in surprise. He kissed both sides of her cheeks."Surprising my soon-to-be wife. I had a meeting inside the VIP room. I just came out to grab some cool and that was when I saw you both. Mrs Brown." He said and kissed the back of her hand."How delightful of you to stop and say hi. We were just hanging out here as well. We just finished having lunch." Mrs Brown jumped in."Really? How random. Were you able to pay the bills? Or should I handle it?" He asked and Mrs Brown smiled."We already took care of it," Sarah said hurriedly."What were you talking about before I butted in?" He asked. Sarah was now worried that he had already heard them talking and was just playing the fool."Honestly, James and you," Sarah replied honestly."That is just great. I hope good things on my part." He elbowed Sarah's arm and she nodded."Only good things, of course. You do not have a

Sarah stood at the door dressed looking at them. Anna turned to find James' eyes widened with surprise and speechless. His words stuck in his throat and he could utter nothing, except stare at her in awe."May I come in?" Sarah asked, keeping her eyes low."Sure, feel free to come in." He said to her, still watching her with his mouth agape. Anna raised her brows at him.He was dog-licking her right now. Anna knew she had to save her friend from the embarrassment he was causing himself, and she cleared her throat hastily.James sat up and turned to Anna. She winked at him and he understood what she was saying to him.Sarah turned her attention to the beautiful woman in his office. Who was she? And what was such a beautiful lady like that doing with James?"Alright, darling. I will leave now, but, I will be back." She winked at him and turned around his table. Then, she leaned down towards him and kissed his cheek.James nearly busted out laughing. He knew she was being dramatic.Sarah

James stared at her retreating as she stormed out of his office. He knew that his attitude was going to be one way to keep her coming back to him. If he pretended that everything was okay, then she would just go on ahead with her life as though nothing happened.Was he expected to explain himself to her for pretending to be her knight in shining armor? For sending money to her family? And trying to make things work for them.His phone suddenly began to ring and he picked it up."Hello?" He said into the phone."Mr. Peter Causey has struck again. A young woman girl escaped from a truck full of young girls who were being carried out to the American borders and the military just headed out to grab him." The guy said."Are they locking him up?" James asked."Yes, they already have his men in their custody, but they are yet to have Causey in custody." His man replied."I just went over to the station to make sure there were no loopholes untied." The man said to him."Okay, just let me

The man in question did as he was told. He pulled off his jacket because of the tall, hefty guard who stood behind him. The man whose knuckles kept cracking notified him that he was going to crack more bones and nerves in his body if he did not do as he was told.As he approached James with shaking hands, he pulled off his jacket and folded it into a ball and then, he got on his knees and began wiping his trouser.Targeting the spot where he had stepped on him.James continued to watch him in silence. Sarah grew more and more indignant just watching the humiliation James and his men were putting her biggest client through.James turned to find Sarah standing there, heaving.He scoffed and got up."That's enough Mr. Grant. You may leave now." James said and signaled his guards to let him leave.James walked up to Sarah and handed her the documents."You forgot this at the office. I thought to drop it by on my way back." He said to her.The heat Sarah's eyes emitted were enough to pierce

Viola got down in front of the Johnson house. She was determined to finish what she and her Father had started.Pedro rushed to the front door at the sound of the doorbell ringing. Viola smiled up at him. He immediately recognized her as the woman he had done the research on."Who are you? And who are you looking for?" He asked her."I am here to meet Mr. Gregory Johnson. He is my Father's very good friend and he invited me over for the holidays." Her reply came as a shock to Pedro.He knew Mr. Johnson was into the underground business, but Rizzo? How was that even possible?"I am sorry. If Mr. Johnson was expecting anyone, he would have let me know. He did not inform me of any such guests. Ul apologize if you would have to wait here for a bit while I go confirm this engagement with him." Pedro said and shut the door in her face, without even waiting for her response."How rude!" Viola grumbled and turned to catch the ecstatic view of the well-carved flowers and trees set around the m

Sarah and James walked past each other with contempt in their eyes. Sarah walked up behind him with the new budget in her hands. She had done the work he had requested of her .She dropped it down on his table."That is the document you asked for the other day. You do not need to go through it now. We have something else to discuss." She said to him.James looked at her and his thoughts immediately drifted to the divorce. He knew that since she was engaged now, she would be interested in getting a divorce.A call came in on his phone and he picked it up."Hello, yes General!" He said into the phone."The new appointment would be released as soon as possible, and we would be more than excited to have you back in the army as a Second Lieutenant in charge of the Armed Forces. Everything would be settled by this Friday. I hope you would be there for the decoration and Commissioning ceremony?" The General asked."Yes Sir! I will be there." A smile passed across his face."Good, thank you f

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
