THE LOATHSOME SON-IN-LAW ADVOCATE FOR THE POOR
Jackson was seen driving Andrew out of The palace hotel. "Where are we heading?" Jackson asked. "To the state general hospital. I want to check on a friend there?" An hour later, Jackson drove into the hospital parking lot and the two men stepped towards the female wards. Andrew brought out his phone and made a call. "Hello, Benita. Where are you?" "Hi, Andrew. Still at the place where we last met. Where are you?" "I will be with you in a few minutes, am close by." "Who is she? " "A friend. She was the one who saved me when I was admitted there." Benita was happy to see Andrew, and she clung to him and held him in a tight embrace. "I'm happy to see you, Andrew. Thank you for the provision. We have paid our debt, and my sister's health is now stable," she looked into Andrew's smiling face and asked, "I hope the offer to treat her at your family private hospital is still available?"

THE LOATHSOME SON-IN-LAW WE WILL HAVE THE CHANGE WE WANT WHEN WE ALL DO OUR BEST
Andrew peeked through the car window as he drove to Hade's place. According to Ratty, no contract takes place without Hade's knowledge. Assassination, robbery, or petty stealing. Hade must be told before the mission is done. "He was a political thug and became so powerful that he became a godfather, " Ratty explained when Andrew asked about his rise to power. "And the police allow him to grow and become that powerful?" Jackson asked. *Hade is more powerful than the local police. He worked for the bigger politicians and as far as this state is concerned, he is untouchable," Jarrow mumbled. "How is he untouchable? Tell me. Is he bigger than the law?" "Why get heated, Andrew? The law is made to protect some and enslave some… Ho! Because you are a prince, do you think you can change anything? Oh no! You better let the sleeping dog lie. " Andrew shook his head and mumbled, "Accepting evils as normal doesn't make it less horrible. And we will have the change we want when we all do

Ratty glared at the phone in his hand, smiled dryly and asked, "Did you know that was a sick joke, right?" "Ain't joking, Ratty. This is your family doctor on the line and I am calling from the -. " Ratty disconnected the call. He shakes his head and then bursts out into a hysterical cry. "Oh, no. My mum is dead... Rossa! " It took all the men several minutes to pacify the crying man, and after drying the tears off his face, Ratty turned toward Jackson and begged, "Please drive me to Chesham hospital." Except for the occasional hiccups from Ratty, the inside of the car was silent as Jackson drove them into a white-painted fence of a large rectangular-shaped hall, and they were welcomed b
THE LOATHSOME SON-IN-LAW BUNCHES OF CRIMINALS
Have you paid the deposit money for the treatment of your mother?" The fat man in a doctor's apron asked as Andrew and the rest of his gang walked into the intensive care unit of the state hospital.

Please check all those items and make sure it was bought from the hospital's store," the doctor announced. He turned toward Ratty and said, "You will go and buy all those drugs that I wrote here. She had lost a lot of blood and would need ten pints of blood. So I suggest you deposit another One hundred thousand dollars." "How can she lose blood, Dr?" "We are carrying out a test on the reason for that. In the meantime, just buy all these -." " Are you sure my mother is okay?" "If you want her to be okay, then you won't be standing here asking questions, instead of running around to look for th
THE LOATHSOME SON-IN-LAW NIRVANIA TILL DAYBREAK
A great thinker once opined that evil is no faceless stranger that lurks in a dark corner. Evil is in you and I. We are evil, the devil's anvil. Since creation, human history has been filled with bloodshed, corruption and wickedness. All human efforts to purge the world of all iniquities can be compared to pouring water into a basket. Fruitless! Why?... Because evil is inherent in us. All the two Abrahamic religions told us of a cunning and seductive woman and a foolish and disobedient man. We heard their first son murdered his younger brother and then ran away with one of his younger sisters. They told us of the destruction of previous civilizations because they committed grave atrocities. We heard about those who are punished by water, by fire or those who turn to pillars of salt. It was all a horrible beginning of human history. In as much as we may take those stories with a pinch of doubt, nevertheless, one thing is certain, humans will only dominate humans for human dest

'"Where am I?' The bed was as soft as the bed in his room in his villa, and the room was even more splashy than his room. Andrew's eyes darted around the strange room and he suddenly looked horrified when he heard some soft snore beside him. 'Who slept beside me?' The exposed flesh shows it's a naked woman, 'Oh, my goodness!... What am I doing here?' Andrew halted his breathing and froze when she opened her eyes, and he immediately leapt out of bed as she raised her head. "Andrew!" "Simpson!" "What are you doing on my bed?" "I have no idea how I got here… Did anything happen between us?" "What?... Oh my goodness! Am wet down there, Andrew. You had sex with me, didn't you?" "I don't remember anything, Simpson. Not how I got here or what transpired between us over the night. Andrew felt like throwing up. He clutched his stomach, leaned over and placed his hand on the mattress. "Are you okay?" "Yeah... Where are my clothes? I need to -. " Words froze in Andre
THE LOATHSOME SON-IN-LAW ACCIDENTAL SEX
Jackson was placing his children's luggage into the boot of a chartered Uber when he heard someone calling his name. He turned and the frown on his face became more visible as Simpson stepped closer. "Did you hate me so much that you are taking the kids away without informing me?" "They are my kids, and I have the right to take them wherever I want." "Of course, Darling Jackson. I know they were your children and you are free to take them whenever you like. But courtesy demands you at least inform me because they are under my care." Jackson smiled dryly and exclaimed, "Courtesy! Did you even have any courtesy in you?" "I am so sorry for hurting you, Jackson. But I want you to know that it was a stupid mistake and I will forever regret it." "Liar! Jackson screamed. He looked at the shocked face of his twins and smiled to reassure them and then resumed his speech, "You have a crush on Andrew, and that is the reason you have been rejecting my love proposal. At least you owe me 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.

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

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.

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
