THE DESPISED SON-IN-LAW Chapter 92
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

As soon as he cut the call, James turned around abruptly and came headlong with a plank.Minutes later, he woke up in the center of the hall in front of everyone, with a gun pointed to his face. His mask had been taken off, and the bright light illuminated by the chandeliers blinded his eyes.He could feel blood trickle down the side of his face. What had they even hit him with? He thought to himself."Mr. James Johnson, If I am right." Dark Cloud's voice roared with laughter"You are the famous James Johnson, aren't you? The Military's highest asset. Or once upon a time highest asset. Tell me, why then, did they let you go?" He asked him.Before James could say anything, he cut him short."Oh, forget about it. That is not important. Everyone! I present to you your hero! He wanted to be the savior of the day. Play the hero and now, he is the victim, isn't he?" Dark clouds laughed."I don't even want to know what happened to my men. You of all people should have known better, and now..
THE DESPISED SON-IN-LAW Chapter 97
Sarah sat folded in between two huge men wearing masks. They had tied her hands to her back and she had no other means of undoing the knot which was tightly tied behind her back.Dark Cloud's voice boomed angrily over to where they were. Sarah shook at the sound of his voice. It was electronic and strong.They heard footsteps run up the stairs and come up to the master bedroom where they had tied her up. This was right before the lights came back on."What is going on?" One of the men asked the ones who ran up to the room."He is missing. James Johnson is missing and we need to find him now." The man replied."Who the hell is James Johnson?" The one who stood guard over Sarah asked back."I don't know either, but he was caught by our boss. The guy's a deadbeat murderer. He killed Rain and Hail." The guy who spoke was clearly afraid and his voice shook."I don't understand. Rain and Hail are dead? Shit man! What the hell! What do we do now? Did you get his face? What if he kills one of

The Captain outside became uncomfortable. He turned to the convoy of Military trucks that had just arrived in the scenery. He watched the General stepped out of his car and walked up to him with his guards behind him.He looked really upset and that was the beginning of his troubles."If only that stupid boy had just followed his orders!" He murmured to himself.The short, feather-bearded man scratched the bald spot on his head which was formed as a result of his receded hairline. He had taken off his cap as a result of the tension in the air."What the hell is going on inside there, Captain?" The General asked in a deep, warning tone. The Captain swallowed a lump and turned to him with a salute."Sir! We have a bad situation inside. One hostage has been killed and one is injured right now. Johnson is being insurbodinating and has refused to stick to a particular order that I gave him a long time ago." He replied sternly.The general did not miss the venom in his voice as he spoke abo

The General was becoming more and more agitated as he stood out there. The press had surrounded the place and people were beginning to swarm the environment.They had surrounded him and begun throwing series of questions at him."What is the state of the hostages like, General?""Who are these men? Are they terrorists?""Do they have any affiliations with the Quando Crime syndicate in New York city?""What are they asking for? How do you plan to save them?""Tell us, what is your next line of action?""For now, we are still assessing the situation at hand. We do not know how many hostages are being held in there and we do not know who they are or what they want from the government, but give us some time and we will figure out a solution." The General responded cooly."Sir! Sir! " The journalists continue to call."No more questions." One of his aides stepped in front of them, while he walked away from the flashing cameras and people with mics.The Captain stood afar off with fear in h

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
