2024-10-29 19:42:56"I am here for your order, sir," the waiter announced as he placed the Menu list in his front.
"Get me a plate of fried rice, with full chicken and a bottle of champagne."
"Right, away sir."
"It's good to be rich," Andrew muttered as he straightened the crumbled part of his shirt, and his mouth was filled with saliva when the sumptuous meal arrived in a few minutes.
He had finished the rice and was devouring the carcass of the chicken when he heard a familiar voice at the entrance of the hotel cafeteria."That is the poor desperate guy I was telling you about," Stevenson announced, laughed hysterically and nudged his two friends towards Andrew's seat.
Andrew saw them coming, shrugged and was back on his meal without batting an eye.
"Hello, my rival. How did you enter this luxurious hotel?"
"What is your concern about that?"
"Because I know you are a thief and had probably stolen your in-law's money to enjoy your miserable life... Did Andrea know you are here?"
"Get lost, and let me enjoy my meal in peace."
Instead of getting lost as suggested by Andrew, Steveson sat in his front, gestured to his friends to sit at the two remaining chairs, and the men were in a circle when he raised his voice, "This young man here is the son-in-law of the O'Connor's family, and I am happy to announce that his son belongs to me."
The cafeteria was silent as a cemetery in the middle of the night after Stevenson's announcement, and the place burst into giggling after.
"Hahaha!"
"You mean you have been fucking his wife and even impregnated her?"
"Yes. I always have copulation with her inside their matrimonial bed, and guess what?"
"What?"
"She moaned like a bitch?"
"Hahaha!"
"Now tell us and stop putting us in suspense."
"Okay, I will," Stevenson giggled for a while, shook his head as tears fell down the blue collar of his suit, and cried out after, " he often helped in heating the water for our baths after the hardcore sex, and he will be more than happy to prepare us two cups of tea to regain our strength for more sex."
"Oh my goodness!"
"What a miserable fellow."
Andrew ignored all their taunts until he consumed all his meal, swallowed all the wine, and belched with satisfaction.
"I won't help in begging your wife when your theft is found out," Stevenson announced with a sly smile.
Andrew smiled back and cried out, "How much is my money? Waiter.
"A minute, Sir."
"I need to tell you that I enjoyed your women's pavilion. As tight as new, and she even told me you are a one-minute type and always spilt your juice even before you put it in her."
"Gush!"
"Poor man!"
"Little wonder the miserable woman is cheating on him."
"Lucky you. You are fucking someone's wife in their matrimonial room."
"Yeah. I am always lucky."
"Your money is fifty thousand dollars," the waiter arrived at Andrew's side, bowed and mumbled.
"Take my credit card and remove your payment, then serve these three gentlemen something to eat as well."
"How much did you have inside your account that you want to feed the three of us? You are a clown, Andrew." Stevenson spat as he let out.
"Can you imagine?"
"He stole two cartoons of liquor some days ago, fell down the stairs and had a broken leg. And I have to leave my enjoyment to help him out of his pitiable condition."
"He must have stolen someone's credit card. Otherwise, how will a poor man like him have it?"
"Let's put him to shame with his braggadocio," one of Stevenson's friends announced, turned towards the waiter and said, "Bring me the most expensive dish on your menu!"
"That will be a high roller sushi roll, and it goes for fifty thousand dollars, Sir!"
"Give it to him," Andrew mumbled with a smile."
"Since he can afford to pay for that, I need two shots of the most expensive wine in your wine store."
"That is Chateau Lafite 1869, and a shot goes for one hundred thousand dollars."
"Give it to him."
"And last but not least," Stevenson announced, paused, cock a smile and said, " I want the most expensive meal and a shot of Chateau Margaux 1787."
"Both go for one hundred and fifty thousand dollars, Sir."
"And serve him as well."
"Few minutes sir," the waiters bowed, looked mystified at the latest richest man in town, and quickly scurried out of sight.
"Please enjoy your meal, gentlemen," Andrew mumbled, paused and announced in a loud voice, "Mr Stevenson is right. He had been having sex with my woman, even in my presence... But he isn't the first man, and neither will he be the last. Just like me, my learned lawyer here is just a tool of pleasure in our wife's hands."
"Hahaha!"
"I love your humour!"
"Only a fool will fight to kill himself because of fake love... Enjoy yourself, Mr, Andrew-."
"Andrew O'Connor."
"Mr Andrew O'Connor is a perfect gentleman, and his maturity is worthy to emulate."
Andrew seemed to be enjoying the attraction, and this made him stand up, point his finger towards Stevenson and cry out, "He is our family lawyer, and our family wealth is in his custody. But as a sharp man, he thinks sleeping with my wife will give him access to all the O'Connor's wealth."
"That's a breach of trust."
"Human's mind is filled with desirous desire."
"Yet, he still has the effrontery to insult me, quite unbelievable!" Andrew exclaimed, sighed and sat with his fixed smile.
"He is right. That lawyer must be a horrible man for insulting a man, after fornicating with his wife."
"To think he is their family lawyer!"
Stevenson and his friends were ashamed of the turn of events, and the three men stood up from Andrew's sight, and wobbled out, even before their order was served.
"Waiter-. I think my friends here aren't hungry anymore... Kindly give me back my credit card."
"A moment sir."
Andrew was out of the Cafeteria after, and without being told, he knew he just stepped on the tail of a cobra.
Stevenson is a notorious man in Arkansas, and since his job made him relate with almost all the good, the bad, and the ugly of Arkansas City, the fear of safety is the utmost in the mind of the loathsome son-in-law as he stepped into the Mall to buy a befitting flower to put on Brian's tombstone.

Their conversations hushed, and all their eyes fell on the loathsome son-in-law as he sauntered inside, bowed at them and hurried towards the steps that led to his room. "Come back here, Andrew." The most notorious among the rumour mongers of the O'Connor family shrieked after him, and this made him halt his movement, veering around and begging, "What is it? Madam Alice." "Is that the way to greet your in-law... And tell me where you are coming from, and why you did not participate in cleaning the villa and preparing dinner?" "Because I am busy," Andrew answered back, turned to proceed with his climbing and then announced, "Please excuse me, I will be back soon." "I don't blame you," Madam Alice hissed and let out, "I blamed Mary for being too lenient with you." "Leave him alone. Can't you see he is tired and needs to relax before dinner is ready?"

Back in his room, the sad son-in-law of the O'Connor family was as sad as doom, and he was seen sprawling on one of his newly bought cushion chairs.

Deep inside, Andrew knew there was nothing he could do to make the family of his wife hold him in high esteem. To them, he will always remain an unfortunate gold digger who married into their family only for their wealth. "Am I truly a gold digger, and only after Brian's wealth?" He asked himself, shook his head and announced after, "No. I just want to fulfil my part of the bargain." He was still lost in thought when the door leading to his room opened, neither did he open his eyes when footsteps sounded closer, and a voice mumbled," I just want to check on you before leaving.

"Good morning," Andrew muttered at the sight of his wife. Seeing her in a short towel around her waist brought back the memory of their few nights together. She peeked at his designer clothes and shoes, shook her head and announced, "It doesn't fit you, Andrew. The man I knew was always dressed in plain clothes and not this thousand-dollar designer." "You are right. Dressing well doesn't change your family's opinion about me." "Because we knew the source of your sudden wealth is questionable-.'. Andrea paused her speech, stepped closer to Andrew and asked in a whisper, "Why did you embarrass Stevenson at the Palace Hotel yesterday?" "I didn't. He started abusing me first." "Shh!" "Oh... He is inside. I don't care." Andrew answered with a shrug. "He said you paid for your meal with a credit card. Where did you see it?" "It's mine. Did anyone report a lost credit card to you?" "Not yet... Just remember that none of my family will stand by you when the cops come looking for you

Andrew had been to many offices during his short time hunting job, yet, the beauties in his front were peerless. The wall is as white as snow, the floor is adorned with white marble, and beautiful cushion chairs with golden covers make the office look like a palace. As for the several gadgets, they can only be seen inside the house of the super-rich. "Please sit down, Andrew." Andrew peeked at the beautiful woman in front as he sat on one of the cushion chairs, and he was mesmerised by her white, long hair that reminded him of a waterfall, her well-shaped face perfected by blue eyeballs, a straight nose, and pink lips. " I was talking to you, Andrew!" He was pulled out of his reverie when Miss Simpson called his name. "Em... Em, I am so sorry, I still don't understand what's going on." "I will explain to you, now. But before then, " Miss Simpson pressed a black button on her table, and Angela hurried inside a minute later. "You called for me, Ma." Her voice shivered when she s

He is my neighbour and I am used to teasing him, even before we meet here." "I don't care who he is to you, or if you have met before," Miss Simpson yelled in resentment, turned toward Andrew and asked, "What is your decision about this man?" "Terminate the contract agreement with him." "What?" "You heard him, Mr Richard. Your contract with us is terminated. You can go with you loads of vegetables." "Please, Miss Simpson. Rejection of my supply will lead to a loss for me." "What is my concern about that? Apologies to the man you insulted and not me." "Apology, Mr Andrew. I am so sorry for treating you with contempt." "You insulted me in public, and now begging me in private." "In that case, I am willing to apologise to you in public," Mr Richard bowed at Andrew, then gestured to him to

All the O'Connor family gathered around the broken vase. "How did it happen?" Danny asked his wife. "I want to put it down, and it slipped from my hand." "You are so careless.

You are nothing but bad luck," Madam Alice cried out, raised her hand and waved at Andrew to go away. "Since Moana's husband is here, I suggest he should pay for this breaking vase," Timothy who just arrived at the scene announced. "Well... We are here to pick a thousand dollars gifts, and did not plan for this loss." Danny answered back with an ashen face. "I suggest you follow me to the manager's office.

"You can go with the Cadillac and pay us whenever you have the cash," the manager muttered. "No, I insist you remove the money from my card. You are just a manager and this Mall didn't belong to you." "Yes, Mr Andrew. Nevertheless, I was wrong to seize your family car because of a mere one million dollars loss. Kindly pay back whenever it's convenient for you too." "Okay, then. Can I have the car key?" Andrew spread his hand and then smiled with contentment when the manager handed the car key to his hand. "What about the gift you are here to pick?" The manager stood up from the seat and wobbled after him. And his mind was filled with ways to make Andrew his friend.Surely, this is not a poor man if he has the purple-coloured platinum card with him.

"What did you say, Alice?" Uncle Sam stepped down the podium, walked towards Alice jerked her by her right arm, and then dragged her out of earshot. "Why did you decide to embarrass your in-law publicly like that?.. I agree the gift is beyond Andrew's means, but we should at least discuss this in private and not publicly," Uncle Sam asked in a whisper. "I hate stealing with passion, and Andrew seemed to be developing from a petty thief to a burglar." Madam Alice let out in a loud voice. "Shh. Stop raising your voice... Where is Andrew?" "Over there. Send someone to call him to defend himself." Uncle Sam nodded his head, and his handsome face suddenly became cringed with worries. After Madam Alice's accusation, the guests who had previously admired Andrew and his million-dollar gift suddenly had frowns on their faces when they learned it was stolen, and most of them promptly avoided Andrew the way they avoided a lepper.

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

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?”

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."

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

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.

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
