THE LOATHSOME SON-IN-LAW YOU CAN HAVE IT ALL
Having no choice but to follow the pair, Andrew groaned and walked after Jackson and Jasmine, and a big smile appeared on his face as he stepped into the restaurant and made his way towards the place where Jackson and Jasmine seat.A few steps to reach them, he heard someone calling his name and this made him turn towards the source. "Hello, Andrew. What are you doing here?" "Hi, Ajay. Good morning." Ajay waves at Andrew to come closer. He stood up, offered his hand for a shake, and then grinned to welcome his old friend. "I lodge here for the night with my friend." Andrew turned towards a lady in an oversized black hat, a blue armless top, and a black mini skirt. He smiled and said, "Hello." The lady didn't even bother to look at him, but she waved her hand, picked up the glass of wine on the table in her front and gulped down a mouthful. "That's Betty. Uncle Sam's daughter. She is my sweetheart, and we planned on getting married." "Hello, Betty. I remember we met at Uncle Sa
THE LOATHSOME SON-IN-LAW TRUE LOVE DOESN'T DIE
Andrew bit a large piece of meat from the chicken's lap and the speed at which he swallowed the food made Ajay and Betty laugh at him from afar. Because his face was red with anger, Jackson and Jasmine peeked at him and giggled at his disgruntled face. "Who is he and what did he tell you that spoiled your mood?" Jasmine asked after some moments of laughing at him."He was my childhood friend and the only one who stood by me in the O'Connor's villa. I was surprised when he became malicious and insulted me without any reason.""Humans are sly and only a certain situation can bring out their ugly side," Jackson said. He picked up his bottle of champagne, peeked at the half-empty bottle, and then gulped three more mouthfuls down his throat. "He believed his mother's rumor about me and warned me about following you guys... He probably thought you were criminals."Jasmine's eyes darted at Ajay and Betty as they whispered among themselves, she shook her head, displayed a contempt look, hi
THE LOATHSOME SON-IN-LAW CASH OR KIND?
The trio were silent through their flight to Orange County, and it was when the chopper descended into the helipad that Andrew opened his eyes, peeked around and asked," So fast? I can't believe we are in Orange County." "We are, boss. You have been sleeping since I took off," the pilot let out. He was a chubby man with an overgrown beard. And his big eyeballs bored into Andrew's face as he asked, "I bet you had a few nights of sleep. Didn't you?" "Yes. I slept late and woke up earlier." "I understand, Boss. It's not easy to have a lot of responsibility on your shoulders. That is why I am comfortable being modest and not super-rich. Wealth comes with its negative, and one of them is an engaged lifestyle." Andrew smiled at the friendly pilot, stood up and disembarked down the chopper steps. And then hurried after Jackson and Jasmine. "Where are you going, Jasmine? I thought the pilot would be taking you back to your house, and then come back to pick us up." "No. I will wait till
THE LOATHSOME SON-IN-LAW THE CAUTIOUS SELDOM MAKES MISTAKES
As expected, Madam Agatha, Daly and Boston were waiting for Andrew as he stepped into his office. At the secretary section sat Marian. Dressed in a short blue frolic that shows all her curves and contour, "You look as pretty as a doll," Andrew complimented the lovely lady. "Thank you, Boss. And good morning." Marian announced with a blushing face. She stood up, bowed at Andrew and remained on her feet until Andrew sat on his chair, and then gestured to her to sit down. "Welcome, Andrew. We have been waiting for you for hours. And we were about to go when you arrived," Madam Agatha said. "I apologise for coming late. I was just coming from Arkansas City." "Welcome, boss." "Thank you, Boston." Daly bowed at Andrew and said, "Welcome, Sir. I hope your flight was splendid." "Sure it was. So why are you guys here?" "To apologise for my scandal, Madam Agatha announced. She looked into Andrew's face, sighed and resumed her speech, "I am truly sorry. I have nothing to say to defen
THE LOATHSOME SON-IN-LAW HARM'S WAY
After a tiresome day, Andrew would have gladly returned to the comforts of his room, but Isabella was in the corridor waiting for him. "Hey, Andrew. What has been happening at your place of work since yesterday -? I heard that you sacked three managers within a few hours of resuming work." "Yes. They were all involved in stealing from the company." "What about Daly, what is the reason why you sacked him?" "He was molesting the female staff. I heard you were informed, but turned a blind ear to the accusation." "Because it was baseless and based only on hearsay. Did you have any evidence, or you sacked him because of Mirian's accusation?" "Madam Agatha also testified against him." "Madam Agatha's testimony is based on her feud with Daly, and should not be taken into consideration... She accused Daly of sleeping with her daughter, and they had been at loggerhead since then." "Daly is a reek, Isabella. Why are you protecting him?" "What did you mean by protecting him? I was just
THE LOATHSOME SON-IN-LAW IN A DEEP SHIT
"Meghan is Daly's friend. And both of them have Isabella's sex tape. And that is what they had been using to blackmail her all along. They even sent one of them to me, but I deleted it immediately." "Geez! I know he is a rascal. Thank you for trusting me. But why doesn't she go to the police?" "The tape is already in the hand of an unknown agent named Anonymous. They will release it to the public whenever Daly or Meghan are arrested for the crime. Or if they heard we inform the police." "How can we help her? People like Daly were leaches, and they will continue to suck you until you die. And then look for another poor host to feed on. I believe the police are capable of pulling this off." "It's very dangerous, Andrew. It's safer to dance to their tunes and save Isabella from humiliation." "I know it's dangerous, but we can't fold our hands and watch them take over the company. We need to act, and the right time is now." "What did you have in mind?" "We need to find the anonymous
THE LOATHSOME SON-IN-LAW MURDER
Jackson did not return on Saturday, nor was he seen on Sunday. And by Monday, Andrew was already fuming with anger at his betrayal. Unfortunately for him, Jasmine keeps teasing him. "Did I warn you or not? The young man had disappeared into the thin air. I won't be surprised if he had sold the car and escaped to another country." "He can't," Andrew answered back. "His children were still with Simpson, and she informed me that she had never set eyes on him." "Did you tell her to inform the police as soon as she set eyes on him? We can't let him escape with your car." "The car is not mine. I bought it for him. How many times did I have to remind you that?" "Hey. No need to yell at me. I was just trying to help." "What did you give to him?" "Some cash for Ajay. Joined with the one you gave to him and the money he will be making from the sales of the Bentley. He had enough cash to take him far away from us." "I hope nothing bad had happened to him. I called all the police posts al
THE LOATHSOME SON-IN-LAW LIFE IS ABOUT WHO YOU KNOW
"Help. Someone is dying here!" Andrew opened his mouth to shriek, but he doubted that his throat produced a sound. He had seen dead bodies before, dead and mutilated. But it wasn't like this gruesome scene before him.Whoever did the job had done a nice and professional job. "Help!" He saw the receptionist as she raced into the room, gawked at him with sombre eyes, and then at the dead man on the floor. "What happened to him, Sir?" "I have no idea, I met him like this." "Oh my gosh! He was alright when I served him liquor some minutes ago. Did you say that you met him like this?" "I sure do now go and call 911. And tell them to come with an ambulance." "You won't run away, will you?" "Why should I run away? Oh my goodness! You must be insane to think I do this." "You must come with me, Sir? I won't leave here without you." "Don't be a jerk. I can run away now if I want. Now be a doll and go and call 911. This man is losing a lot of blood." "He is dead. No need to hurry the

THE HYPOCRISY OF MEN
A year later, Andrew had almost forget about his estranged queen, and only the vacant position of the queen keeps Jasmine's memory fresh in his brain. During the chiefs meeting one late night, the chief chamberlain cleared his throat and muttered, “When is our kingdom having a new queen? It’s over a year since Queen Jasmine left our palace.” “The chief chamberlain just spoke my mind,” An older chief in a white regalia let out. “ As our custom demand, the throne of the queen must not be vacant more than twelve months. We must choose another queen as soon as possible.” Andrew Inhale louder and swallowed a mouthful of saliva. “I can’t just make a random woman my queen. I need to first find a woman that I like, fall in love with her and then choose her. Don’t you think this is a long process that can’t be achieved in a few months.” “We all know this, your highness,” Another chief in a blue regalia and extra large hat mumbled. “We have all think this through and decided to choose Andrea

ACTING ALL SWEET
Jasmine barged into Andrew's chamber one night and met him staring at some family photos. “You don’t bother to check on me since Andrea arrived.”Andrew offered a sardonic smile and gestured to her to come closer.“I’m so sorry. You have been acting cold and making it difficult to talk to you.”Jasmine fixed her eyes on Andrew's face as she stepped closer and stood beside him. “You know why am angry, yet you keep doing the same thing to drive me to anger... Did I do wrong by marrying you?”With an innocent smile pasted on his face, Andrew shakes his head sideways and asked, “What did I do wrong? You have been avoiding me since Andrea arrived in the Palace.”“You know what you did, Andrew. So stop acting all sweet.”“I only knew Andrea’s presence here is not agreeable to you. But as you already know, she is the mother of my heir and I can’t stop her from visiting her only son.”“Oh!” Jasmine exclaimed. “Are you shaming me because I haven’t given you a child or you just hated me?”

A MATTER RELATING TO THE HEART
The legal battle was tougher than Andrew had imagined. But at last, Jackson was given the option of parole only after five years and a commendable behavior. Though it wasn't exactly what Andrew wanted. Yet still, he was glad that he was able to reduce his punishment. A year later, Andrew was attending to some political guests when he was informed of Ajay's arrival in his palace. "Take him to my private chamber. I will be with him in a few hours." He quickly dismissed his guests and rushed to attend to his childhood friend. "What brought you to my palace at this time of the night? I thought you had gone to Arkansas City for the Yuletide holiday." "Yes, I just came back some hours ago," A smile appeared on Ajay's face as he muttered," Andrea is back at the O'Connor's villa." "Oh! Why doesn't she come to me?" "She can't. She knows that you are happily married and she won't like to be a distraction to you or your wife." "Married, yes. But not happily… Do you have her new mobile n

LOVE IS NOT ENOUGH
Jacob was found dead in his room the following morning. As expected, Jackson was arrested for the murder of Teddy. During the interrogation, he refused to mention Andrew's name and insisted it was an accident. Nevertheless, he was found guilty of manslaughter and was sentenced to ten years imprisonment. Though Andrew was happy that he had avenged his father's and grandfather's death, he felt sad that Jackson ended the scapegoat. But because of the sensitivity of the case, he had no choice but to sit and watch the law take its full course. A few days after Jackson's judgment, Andrew was seen gazing absent-mindedly into the sky when he heard some footsteps behind him. He turned and a smile appeared on his face at the sight of the unexpected guests. "Hi, Simpson.""My king!"Andrew stepped closer and held Simpson in a tight embrace. He then picked up his daughter, hugged her and then ruffled Jimmy and Tommy's hair and mumbled, "You guys are growing fast," He turned towards Simpson

THE POISONED RING
Andrew was right. Bad news travels faster than its counterparts. His rumour of death had reached his enemies even before Jackson arrived. Sevreachedmen were seen in a jovial mood as Jackson stepped inside a splashy large room with a blinding light. "Welcome, Jackson. We have heard of the usurper's death, and we realized this is your handwork," Jacob announced as he held Jackson in a tight bear hug. "Now that he is dead, let's see how he wants to wear the crown.""It's my pleasure to serve you, people," Jackson mumbled as he offered his hand for a shake. And he was aware of the poisoned pin as it pricked Jacob's palm. Jacob also feels a light sting and his eyes immediately gawk at the ring on Jackson's finger. "Where is the poisoned ring?" Jacob asked as he released the breath he had been holding. Seeing a different ring on Jackson's finger brought immediate relief to him. "Here… Here it is," Jackson said as he dipped his hand into the pocket of his suit and brought out the deadly

NO PERMANENT ENEMY OR FRIEND IN LIFE
Though Andrew didn't believe Jasmine's explanation. Nevertheless, he decided to let the sleeping dog lie. Yet still, this seemed to bring a bigger hole in their imperfect relationship. And the two of them live like cat and mouse for months. A year later, Andrew was still wondering why he ended up with Jasmine when he was informed of a guest awaiting him. Thinking maybe it was Andrea, he immediately asked if it was a man or a woman, and disappointment could be seen on his face when he was told it was a man. "I can't see him tonight. Take him to the guest quarters until I'm free to attend to him.""Yes, Your Highness. Though he claimed that it was very urgent and begged for your immediate attention.""What is his name?""Ajay O'Connor. He seemed to know you from your days at Arkansas City.""Send him in," Andrew mumbled. He wonders what Ajay wants with him and his curiosity makes him restless until Ajay arrives. The young man was a shadow of himself. His once smooth and shining ski

WHEN THE DESIRABLE IS NOT AVAILABLE
After their first night together, Andrew and Jasmine seemed inseparable. Though their relationship can be termed one-sided, Jasmine appeared to be happy and satisfied, and it looked like Andrew had at last forgotten his lost love. Since the royal chief won't stop disturbing him from getting married, Andrew has no choice but to propose to the excited Jasmine who immediately agrees. In truth, when the desirable is not available, the available becomes the desirable. Six months later, the pair decided to tie the knot. Their marriage was the talk of the town, and a week was declared a public holiday to celebrate the important occasions. During the royal banquet, Andrew was seated among his family and friends in a deep conversation when he noticed a silhouette of a woman who resembled Andrea. "Excuse me, please," Andrew muttered, standing up from his throne and hurried towards the outgoing lady. He ignored all the well-wishers who called out to wish him a happy married life and smiled

HISTORY WITH HIS EXCELLENCY
The sun was already glaring in the sky when Andrew woke up. After having a light meal, he decided to visit his ladies, at least for courtesy's sake. They came from far and near, and sending them home without attending to them seemed very insulting. They were put separately in different rooms, and Andrew knocked on the first door and stepped inside.A tall and shapely lady with a beautiful face stood up from the bed and walked towards him. "Good morning, my lord. I have been waiting for you since yesterday and I am glad that you finally come to visit me."The lady hugged him seductively and dragged him towards the bed in the middle of the room. But Andrew gently removed his hand and then motioned to the lady to sit down, while he sat beside her. "What is your name?""Janet, my lord.""And your profession?" "I'm a barrister and I'm working with a private company." Janet placed her palm on Andrew's chin to caress him, but Andrew held her hand, frowned and shook his head. "Take it eas

REAL BEAUTY LIES BENEATH THE SKIN
Three months later. Andrew was seen walking to and fro in his palace, and the grimace on his face showed his state of mind. His body shivered, and his eyes were cloudy. A red line shows around his eyes and a patch appears on his forehead. After yawning twice, he suddenly whirled towards the men at his back and asked, "Are you telling me she had grown wings and disappeared from the surface of the earth? I have spent millions of dollars to look for her, sent people from one end of the earth to the other side, and the result is always negative." "I'm sorry, my lord," A tall man with a large scar in between his eyes answered back. " I guess she didn't want to be found and had been evading us." "We heard she was in Orlando, and we immediately flew down there. But she must have heard of our arrival and disappeared before we reached her hideout." Andrew's frown deepened as he stared at the men on his front. "Why am I unfortunate to be surrounded by letdown people? I want a result and no
