THE LOATHSOME SON-IN-LAW POORER THAN A CHURCH RAT
"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. "I was thinking of buying that golden Buddha statue, but your sales attendant was so rude to me." "How dare you?.. Please forgive him, Mr Andrew. I will punish him for this grievous offence," the manager gave Steve a killing look an

"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. "Come over here, Andrew. I have something to ask from you?
THE LOATHSOME SON-IN-LAW LITTLE SECRET
"What is going on over here?" Uncle Sam hurried towards the two cops with a grim look. "We are sorry for storming into your party and creating a scene," one of the two officers answered back. "Barrister Stevenson called our department and informed us that Mr Andrew O'Connor has a fake credit card and that he has been using it to swindle a lot of innocent sellers in this city," the meanest among the two officers declared openly as he jerked Andrew's by his belt and pulled him closer. "There must be a mix-up somewhere," Uncle Sam mumbled and his eyes darted around the room in search of Barrister Stevenson. "There is no mixed up anywhere," Barrister Stevenson who just appeared in an El Gujarat million dollars suit stepped into the hall, and most of the ladies in their presence gawked at him and temporarily forgot the loathsome son-in-law of the O'Connor family. "Wow. Barrister Stevenson is a terrific young man... His sense of dress always left me breathless!" A glamorous lady in a t

The O'Connor family sat in the cushions in front of the mayor, and they were all looking scared because they were expecting the worst from the expressionless-looking man. "Contrary to your expectations, Mr Andrew did not steal the credit card," the mayor let out, drew a breath and resumed after, "he won some money in a raffle draw and the money was paid into his account. The card with him was registered with the account. My investigations show that he is innocent of all these charges." "Thank you, mayor, for explaining this to us. I always tell my people to take it easy with Andrew, I believe that he is a lucky man and will be rich one day." "Enough of your false compliment, Moana," Madan Alice shrieked, raised her right hand and jerked it furiously at Moana, then resumed her yelling, "What will happen to all your sweet tongue and praises when he finished his sudden wealth? I bet you will go back to being his enemy!" "I knew Andrew since childhood, and I believe him when he claimed

Andrew drove into their car park, parked the Cadillac CTS, and was immediately out of the car. He saw Moana walking towards him and was surprised when she held his arm, looked into his, and then let out, "Thank you, Andrew, for not judging us by our past deeds. I am truly sorry for treating you like a bag of trash all this day." "It's nothing. I have learnt to be forgiven to those who err against me," Andrew answered back, then jerked his arm away from Moana's grip, and then handed the Cadillac CTS key into her hand and mumbled, "Please, have this key, and give it to Mary. I don't need your car, and you can forget about the debt." "Oh, my gosh," Moana held Andrew in a tight embrace and tears soon flowed down her pretty face. "We have committed a lot of atrocity against you, and you are very compassionate for treating me with kindness." "I have decided to let bygone to be bygone, and I have forgiven all of you," Andrew answered back when he finally freed himself from Moana's grip.
THE LOATHSOME SON-IN-LAW PUNISHMENT FOR NOT HAVING FAITH
A tall and huge guard in a blue and white uniform glared at the yellow-painted taxi as it parked in front of The palace gate. He stepped out of the security office that is constructed in front of the hotel fence, stormed towards the taxi, raised his left arm, pointed his finger toward a board on the wall, and then yelled out with a voice filled with anger. "Are you blind or you can't read the sign on that post?" Andrew turned towards the shivering driver and offered a smile to reassure him, then poked his head out of the car window and said in a calm voice, "So sorry, officer. I am here to see Miss, Simpson, and I am sure she won't mind if I enter with a taxi." "Damn you, lass," the guard loomed over Andrew, shakes his head in anger, turned towards the driver and yelled "Get this dirty taxi out of here before I break the glasses to pieces. "You lost, Mister," the driver whispered to Andrew as he ignited his taxi. "Not yet," Andrew muttered back and then looked into the glaring e

Andrew walked with sadness towards Miss Simpson's office, and suddenly halted when the door to her office was opened, and then hurried to meet her. When they met, the smile on Miss Simpson's face was immediately replaced by fear, and she peered into Andrew's face and held his right hand. "Why are you looking sad?" Miss Simpson asked. "Who is the richly dressed man that just left your office some moment ago?" Thinking Andrew's anger was targeted at her, made her shiver, and it was when she knew it was against Steve that she was able to breathe easier." that must be Steve. His family were our long-time supplier of liquors, wines, and beverages." "Why is he here?" "To notify us of the increase in the prices of all their goods. I have their new price list inside my office, and planned to show it to you when we meet." "He is very mean to me. You can't imagine he broke all the windows of the taxi that brought me here." "Steve did what?" Miss Simpson's face was filled with anger, and

Miss Simpson gestured to Andrew to sit at the chair in her front and let out, "I am so sorry for Steve's childish behaviour. I hope you won't inform your dad about any of this." "No, I won't," Andrew answered back, sighed and sat with a grunt. "It's not fully his fault, but the blame of those directing this place. Why are you trying to treat the poor like they aren't human?" "I don't understand what you mean." "The security guards at the gate stopped me from entering, because of the decision of the management not to allow a taxi inside." "All businesses are opened to make a profit, and not to satisfy the poor. Anyone in a charter taxi cannot afford our goods and services. In order not to waste their time and our own time as well, we decided not to allow them inside." "I want that law to stop today. Don't discriminate against anyone because of their clothing, cars or jewellery... Doing that will be killing our business and make us look as if we are running an unfriendliness busine

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

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.

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
