THE DESPISED SON-IN-LAW Chapter 88
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

" Boss, we have everything set up for tonight. Mr. Rizzo wants to know if you and the other guys are ready." Causey's man, who walked into his office, asked him."Yes. Are the guys ready?" He growled out. Causey had been in a nocturnal mood since he returned from William's office. The nerve with which Williams had responded to his confrontation was what set him ablaze. He had the audacity to take from him and still sit with pride. "It was bad enough dealing with that useless James Johnson. But he only pushed him out of the way so that he could have his own way in!" Causey grunted angrily."This is not the way things were planned out, Smith. This is not the way." He sneered out."Sir, the guys have set up already at the location. They said whenever you are ready." His man returned."Put Mr. Antonio Rizzo on the phone." Causey ordered him."No need. " Mr. Rizzo's voice sounded as he walked into Peter Causey's office.His insides shook as he stared at the tall, hefty, grim looking man

Sarah and James walked in together to the party which did not sit well with the Smiths, especially Williams Smith.He watched the way James had his hand on Sarah's back as they walked into the mansion hall. He was about to walk up to them and snatch her out of his arms, but his father's hand gripped his wrist."Where do you think you are going?" Mr. Smith asked him. He turned around and stood in front of Williams."Father, that is my wife-to-be!" Williams stated angrily."And that is her husband I'm aligned with what society knows. You can't just walk up to her and cause a scandal." His father responded.Sarah's black dress clung to her body gorgeously, revealing her beautiful curves. Its glimmering stones left her looking extremely elegant beside James' tall muscular frame.Williams grunted and clenched his fist tightly."This is not the way we agreed for things to play out, Dad and you know that. You have to speak to the Browns. We are their only hope of getting out of Peter Causey'

James turned to face Williams. Sarah clenched her fist as his arm tightened around her waist."Shall I have this dance?" Williams asked her.Mrs. Brown basked in the light of it all. Two rich suitors were fighting over her daughter."Go on, Sarah. Have a dance with the man. He is your fiance after all." She said to Sarah.James' expression remained calm and unaffected, even though within him, he boiled over at the sight of everything. While his eyes stayed down, Sarah's eyes remained on him.His expression was cold and unbothered."I'm not interested in dancing right now," Sarah said and walked away.James followed her movements and watched her walk into the restroom."You seem to not know that Sarah has moved on from you. You should take the hint now, Mr. Johnson." Williams whispered to him, as soon as everyone had dispersed.The hall was a big one, gold chandeliers hung at every major spot of the large hall. James turned to him with a smirk on his face."I see you have nothing impor

"Stay down! If anyone moves, they die!" The men who ahd surrounded the house wore different coloured masks on their faces. They spoke through electronic voices that made it hard to decipher who exactly was speaking.James got up slowly from where he had fallen down because of the attack on the place. He turned to check for Sarah and found her crouched underneath a counter..Her eyes were busy roaming the room in search of something. Hep followed her gaze to where her Father was."Get the safe upstairs!" One of the men shouted out.James snuck around a pillar which was in front of where he stood. Immediately he rounded the pillar, he ran behind another pillar which was in front of him.He scanned the room for Peter Causey and his men, but nobody was in sight. So, who could have been bankrolling the attack?"We are just here to get one thing and then we will leave. If anybody moved, breathes loudly or perhaps coughs... We will not be held responsible for what happens to you. You will al

The old lady who sat beside Sarah began to whimper."What is it, Ma'am?" Sarah asked nervously."I want to use the restroom." The old lady said, and Sarah turned pale. If she dared to speak, she could end up as a casualty."Ma'am, I am sorry but you would have to hold it for just some time. They might harm you if you move." Sarah said in a terrified voice."What is going on here?" One of the men, one who was wearing an eagle mask walked up to them."N-n-nothing. Please, she wants to use the restroom." Sarah said in fear."Okay, I'll help you " the man said. Sarah looked up at him in disbelief and nodded a thank you.He held up his hand to his boss as the women got up.Meanwhile James got to the top floor where the men were still trying to break into the safe. He found the host, Mr. Chen lying unconscious on the floor."What is going on?" He asked them, but they only nodded at the safe."It won't budge. We need more time. Just a few more minutes. Some thirty minutes or so." The man rep

Sarah stared into Jasmes' face as he took off the mask."How did you...? I thought that you were...?" She stammered out."It is fine, Sarah. That is not as important as what we need to do now. Two of their men are dead, and I need you to get in line with me so that we can get out of here alive. Everyone can get out of here alive.Suddenly, the radio on the man began to beep."Hail, come in! Hail, are you there? Come in, over!" The electronic voice called over the radio."What do we do now? If they find out that you killed one of their men, then, they could...they could start killing everyone." Sarah panicked."That is why we have to act this out right." James replied and suddenly, his radio began to make static sounds, and just as soon, a voice came up on it."Rain, come in. What is taking so long, man?" The voice asked."Dark clouds?" Rain called."Who the heck do you think it is, the President??? What the f**k are you both doing in there? This is not the freaking time for this! You

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
