THE LOATHSOME SON-IN-LAW A DOCTOR OF WOMAN'S AFFAIRS
The two occupants of the rusted BMW drove at full speed towards the Elizabethan's villa, and they were just a few kilometres to their destination when Jackson discovered that the car was overheating. "We need to park," Andrew announced. "I can see smoke coming from the car's bonnet." "Can you see why I kicked against driving this car?" Jackson asked. "It may be a minor fault, let's park and check it out." "We have a few kilometres to go. I suggest we managed it down home." "No, Jackson. Driving it in this state is dangerous. What if it exploded?" "It won't, I have driven cars in worse conditions," Jackson answered back and then sighed when Andrew insisted that he park. A moment later, the two gentlemen were out of their car, and after checking the engine, Jackson declared that the fault was major and needed the attention of a mechanic. Andrew brought out his phone and called Mirinda's number, but her phone was switched off, and after some moment of thought, he decided to call
THE LOATHSOME SON-IN-LAW MAN MUST NOT LIVE BY BREAD ALONE
The blue-painted chopper descended on the helipad on top of The palace hotel, and the sound of its blades as it cut into the air boomed louder in the silent night. The journey from Orange County to Arkansas City had only taken an hour by flight, unlike the several hours Andrew and Jackson had spent driving. "Would you like to come down and lodge in a room for the night?" Andrew asked the pilot. "No, don't worry about me. Arkansas City is my home, and I will be going to meet my family and spend the night with them," the tall and handsome man in a white overall gown mumbled. "In that case, try to be back earlier tomorrow. Don't forget we are going back to Orange County as soon as the daybreak," Andrew let out, and then gestured to Jackson and Jasmine to step down the chopper. A young man in a white and blue uniform was waiting for them as they stepped down the stairs, and he bowed to welcome them, and then announced," Welcome ladies and gentlemen, my name is Steven, and I was inst
THE LOATHSOME SON-IN-LAW NOT MAN ENOUGH
"You are truly a jerk," Jasmine cried out, stood up, hissed and walked out of the front of the stunned Stevenson, and the whole restaurant became alive with buzz. "This man must be wayward to the extent of trying to put his hand inside a lady's skirt. So bad, even in a public place!" an old man with a glass over his plain face exclaimed. "These kids of nowadays have no manners. What a shame!" His equally aged man let out. Andrew and Jackson were smiling as they walked out of The palace restaurant, and the clattering of Jasmine's shoes on the tiles sounded after them. As expected, their guard was waiting for them as they stepped into the hotel compound, and the young man smiled at the sight of Andrew and let out, "Welcome, Sir. I asked them to clean this Toyota Vensa for you. I hope you like it." "Sure. It's okay," Andrew let out, stretched his hand to collect the car key from the security guard, and then tossed it to Jackson. "Hopped in, guys. It's already late in the night,"
THE LOATHSOME SON-IN-LAW A MYSTERY
Jackson parked in front of the third flats on the row and then gestured to Andrew and Jasmine to disembark from the car. Moments later, the trio walked toward Moana's flat, and Andrew who was leading them knocked on the door and then grinned as Moana's voice sounded from the inside. "Hello, a moment please." "Is that your mother-in-law's voice?" Jasmine asked. "No. That's Moana's voice. She and her husband are the only members of the O'Connor family that become remorseful of their ill-treatment of me." "I want to see your wife and Mother-in-law... Especially Your wife, I want to know what she possessed that I lacked," Jasmine announced. Andrew was about to reply to Jasmine's statement when the door was pulled open and Moana's head poked out of the room. "Hi, Andrew. Why did you come so late in the night?.. Did you need somewhere to pass the night?"Without waiting for Andrew's reply, Moana held his hand pulled him into the house, and then gestured to his friends to follow her.
THE LOATHSOME SON-IN-LAW TWO WRONGS CAN'T MAKE A RIGHT
As soon as Jasmine saw a strange woman with Moana, she turned towards Andrew and kissed his lips, and it took the shocked man some moment to push her off. Andrea gawked at Andrew, and then at the lady on his thighs, she shrugged, walked closer and seat in the chair facing Andrew. "Please excuse me, I need to talk with her," Andrew announced and then tried to push Jasmine off his leg, but Jasmine nestled on his chest and refused to move. "You can talk like this, honey. I love the warmth of your chest and I don't feel like standing up." Moana who had been ogling at Jasmine as she clung to Andrew asked with a confused look, "Is she your lover?" "Yes, this handsome man belongs to me now. I heard his wife didn't value him so I have taken over," Jasmine answered back before Andrew could utter a word, she turned and peered into Andrew's eyes, and blew another kiss on him. "Did you bring me here to introduce your lover, or did you have important things to discuss with me?" Andrea aske
THE LOATHSOME SON-IN-LAW POOR PIECE OF IRON
During their short time inside Moana's house, someone pierced their car tyres with sharp objects, broke all their windscreens and shattered the car windows, and what was left was a wreck of what was parked some moment ago. "Who dare destroy my car?" Andrew asked with an open jaw. "This is insane... Where is our security guard?" Daniel asked, looked around, and then hurried towards the large gate where the security man always napped for the night. "I am sorry, Andrew. I am sure this is the handwork of Mary and Alice... They must be aware that you brought the car here," Moana mumbled, turned towards Andrea's section of the villa and gawked at the dark building. "I bet they off the light, after performing their evil act... Please excuse me, I need to go and inform them that I can see through their veil." Saying this, Moana marched towards Andrea's flat, and the two gentlemen and a lady peeked at each other's faces. "What are we going to do?" Jackson asked with a confused look. He
THE LOATHSOME SON-IN-LAW EITHER YES OR NO
Miss Simpson arrived half an hour later, and the exhausted Jasmine hopped into the front seat, while Andrew and Jackson hopped in the car's back seat, and Miss Simpson drove off.After some moments of driving, Miss Simpson turned towards Andrew and asked, "What happened to the car you took at the Palace Hotel?" "It was destroyed by some members of the O'Connor family. I suspect it to be the handwork of Madam Alice and Mary." "What the heck! They will need to face our insurance company and explain to them," Miss Simpson announced with a horrific face, she shook her head, hissed and let out, "I won't forgive them for assaulting you." "They were rude, insulting and outright abusive. I agree that they need to be punished for such a grave offence," Jasmine announced from the front seat. "Be kind towards them. Don't forget I bear their names and am also connected to them by marriage," Andrew muttered. "Not this time around. They just destroyed our company's car, and you don't expect m
THE LOATHSOME SON-IN-LAW BEAUTY IS TRANSIENT
"Why did you love me?" Miss Simpson asked with a face that showed no emotion. "I don't know," Jackson answered back. He raised his hand and scratched his hairless skull and then smiled to ease the heat from Simpson's emotionless stare at him. "You don't know why you love me... That's strange, don't you think so?" "Em... You are beautiful." "You have seen more beautiful women, haven't you?.. What makes me special?" Jackson summoned his courage and let out, "Yeah. I have seen more beautiful women, but my heart beats for you and you alone." "Beauty is transient, what will happen to your love when my beauty fades?" Miss Simpson asked and then smiled at the speechless Jackson for what seemed like an eternity. "I agree that I don't know why I love you, but those that matter?.. No. It's my feeling that does." "You are wrong, Jackson. If you know why you love me, it will be easier for you to call my attention to those things whenever I start going astray. Otherwise, you will soon be

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
