THE LOATHSOME SON-IN-LAW A DAY TO REMEMBER
Andrew's feeling when he was told the DNA result of Serah and his own was zero percent compatible was disappointment and dumbfounded, and his disappointment showed on his face as he wobbled out of the laboratory. He had strongly believed the baby was his own and being told otherwise was quite unexpected. Having no other proof to claim his baby, Andrew gave up on his pursuit. Yet still, he harbours some doubt about the authenticity of the result. After dinner one weekend, the pair were cuddling inside Andrew's room when he asked. "What did you think about Jackson's offer?" "I'm against it. Why should we stay in someone's house when we have a place as big as this? Let's stay here until your dad changes his mind." He merely asked for courtesy's sake. He had instructed Marian to buy a nice and comfortable duplex beside the shore, and the place was furnished with the latest gadgets and home appliances. This is the place he will be staying during his remaining days in Arkansas
THE LOATHSOME SON-IN-LAW NOTHING BUT PAIN
After the burial of Elizabethan, Andrew and his sisters were invited to the royal palace for dinner. As expected, the place was filled to the brim with important personalities who came to visit his royal highness and to commiserate with him on the loss of his son. It was very late in the night before they had the chance to enter the main palace. Sitting on the throne is an old man with fluffy white hair, and his face is filled with a welcoming smile as he announces, "I am sorry for keeping you all waiting. I have to attend to everyone who left their business to check on me." He stood up, spread his arms, and with a speed and agility that is surprising for his age, he hurried towards his son, daughter and grandchildren, and held all of them in a tight embrace. "Please come and sit while dinner is served." He turned towards Andrew and his sister and let out, "I am so sorry for the loss of your dad," He paused his breath, inhaled louder and said in a voice filled with sadnes
THE LOATHSOME SON-IN-LAW THE TRUTH WILL ALWAYS FIND IT'S WAY OUT
Andrew had two reasons to believe the king was murdered. First was his declaration to enthrone him, and this was followed by a secret meeting that took place between him and the king before his death. He was deep in thought, as he gazed at the glass of wine in his hand, when a palace maid knocked on his door, marched in, bowed and mumbled, "His royal highness requires your presence, my prince." "I will be with him shortly. " The King was sitting on the throne, and in attendance were the king's adviser and the lord chamberlain. "I'm officially introducing my grandson and the heir to the throne," The king muttered with a glittering face. The Lord Chamberlain wrote something down in the brown-cover book on the table in front of him, smiled, nodded his head and asked, "Which name should I put on this decree? I learnt that our king-to-be is named O'Connor and not Elizabethan." "You were all aware of the circumstances that led to his changed name, weren't you? He will change hi
THE LOATHSOME SON-IN-LAW LOVE OR CROWN?
A few weeks later, Andrew was summoned to the palace by the chiefs and the kingmakers. And he was disgusted at the sight of his uncle and his son. Twelve chiefs and the lord chamberlain circled the empty throne, while other lower-rank chiefs sat opposite them. All eyes peeked at Andrew as he walked inside, and sat beside his uncle. . "It's been three months since the death of our king, and it's high time we have another king on the throne," the chief priest announced. He was an aged, tall and chubby man with fluffy white hair and overgrown beard. "As mandated by the late King, Prince Andrew is the legal heir to the throne. We are here today to choose a day for his coronation and to discuss other relevant things," the lord chamberlain let out. "I beg your pardon, chief. Andrew is no longer part of the royal family and is not legally capable of ruling as a king. Have you all forgotten that my brother disowned him some days before his death?""Yes, we are all aware," The lord chamber
THE LOATHSOME SON-IN-LAW THE END
After searching for Andrea for some months, Andrew gave up and accepted the wishes of the chiefs and kingmakers. Many ladies of aristocratic families were introduced to Andrew, but none seemed to be up to his taste. Apart from Andrea, only Simpson wakes the passion in him. One day under the influence of alcohol, he spent a night with Jasmine, and that was the beginning of a healthy relationship between them. Months later, the pair got married. But it was a one-sided love. Andrew never loved her, and neither did he pretend to. It was a marriage of necessity. Andrea gave birth to a girl but lost her at childbirth. She was sad and depressed but picked up her life when she heard that Andrew had gotten married to Jasmine. In her new city, she fell in love with a rich widower, and both got married immediately and had a male child. A year later, the widower died, and Andrea and her son inherited all his wealth, sold his estate, and then moved back to Arkansas City as a billionaire. Whe
THE LOATHSOME SON-IN-LAW 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
THE LOATHSOME SON-IN-LAW 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
THE LOATHSOME SON-IN-LAW 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

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
