THE RESUSCITATED SON-IN-LAW CHAPTER 196
Marlon was one of the biggest cowards that Carlos had seen in his life so far. Marlon would always listen to his parents and elder sister so much so it would make others wonder if he’ll lick their boots if only they were to ask him.Marlon and Carlos didn’t have any particular enmity between them in the beginning, but Marlon still mocked and attacked Carlos in front of his family members, probably just to make himself feel safer by taking the side of his family.All of that was forgivable, but then Marlon joined his dad and Andres to beat Carlos and played a part in breaking his knees.Carlos’ body still remembered the hits he received while lying on the floor. Even though he begged them to stop, the three of them didn’t show any mercy. Narika wasn’t present back then, but Sofia and Victoria were watching everything with eyes full of happiness as if Carlos deserved everything he got.Currently, Marlon waited outside the gate.“Where is this Charles?” he had already searched inside and

A few minutes after Marlon left, Charles settled down at his tent. It was getting dark, and the mosquitoes were in the air.But they didn’t bother Charles, as if they could smell something wrong from him. He tried talking with mosquitoes, wondering if it’d work or not, and to his shock, the mosquitoes aligned in a big mosquito shape.“No way…” he covered his mouth in astonishment. “Is this my ability to control their minds? I’m able to do it very freely now.”His ears heard the noise of a vehicle stopped at the entrance.“Who is it this time?” Charles wondered, and his nose already caught the smell of the person the moment they opened the car’s door. “Laurel?” he hurriedly ran to the back of the tent and hid himself there. “I don’t want to meet her now.”Laurel entered through the gate and came toward the tent, calling Charles name loudly, showing that she was feeling a bit tense because it was getting dark and the eerie view of the collapsed building didn’t help her confidence, eithe

The bright moon toured the dark sky, making waves as this magnificent luminary always did.Laurel sat in the tent house. It was getting cold outside as the loving silvery light of the moon did its magic, so she closed up the tent and slept.Charles, on the other hand, sat behind the tent with a wine bottle in hand. Another curse of being a vampire was the natural resistance against intoxication toward alcohol. So, even though Charles drank the whole bottle of concentrated wine, it didn’t do any good.The moon’s reflection bore into his eyes; waves of emotions ebbed and flowed in his heart like how it would happen to the sea that the moon would look upon every night.Charles mobile started vibrating at some point. It was probably Marlon calling.He answered the call. “Hello, who is this?”“Your brother-in-law,” Marlon’s voice was rather soft.“My brother-in-law? I don’t have one though,” Charles said, speaking in his natural Carlos’ voice.“I’m Marlon talking.”“Oh… yeah, right. You ex

Caroline came to Laurel’s room, and the entire room looked messy just like her thoughts. Laurel was lying on the bed face-down.Caroline sat down on the bed and put her hand on Laurel’s shoulder. She wanted to warn Laurel, but after seeing her so depressed, she changed her mind.“If you fly two kites that look the same, they don’t fly the same way, Laurel,” Caroline said. “Every kite is different. Every heart is different. Charles called me and told me about his health. Most men wouldn’t have been honest like him and would have just married you so they could live a luxurious life with the Bisconsleys, but Charles was different. Perhaps, he also loved you, and so couldn’t think about marrying you after knowing that he wouldn’t be able to become a father.”Laurel didn’t say anything but just sniffled.“He’s the only man you liked at first sight,” Caroline’s mouth turned down. “First love is hard to forget. I’m sorry for pushing you to love him. If I had any idea that things would turn o

Carlos came and left quickly, but it was Narika who wasn’t able to focus on work because of his arrival.“Why do bad things happen only to good people?” as she kept looking at the flowers, she remembered an incident from the past.At first, she didn’t like Carlos because she thought he married her sister for money. That was why she avoided him in the beginning. But that opinion changed when he first escorted her to a party. Along the way, they had to buy gifts together. She bought flowers and all. She saw him buy flowers even though Sofia at that time was not in the country.“My sister is abroad, so who are those flowers for?” Narika quickly asked that question as she thought he might be having an extramarital affair. However, Carlos’ response was simple but completely unexpected.“I’m coming to the party, too, so I’m going to give these flowers.”Narika raised her brows. “It’s a bachelor party. A women-only party. Only those in our friend circle are allowed entrance.”“So what? Can’t

In the middle of the night.Outside the city, at an abandoned factory. Charles and Thomas were standing outside. Thomas was smoking, whereas Charles was drinking blood from four packets at a time.“You really seem like you can’t wait to destroy Samantha and Leslie,” Thomas smirked. “Just what did they do to you? Did they milk you or something?”“What they have done is too disgusting for words,” Charles coldly glanced at him. “Those women are nothing but freaky, torn-up mutilated dolls that deserve to rot at the bottom of a dumpster.”“Ah, I couldn’t agree more. They are going to come here, right?”“I believe they want me, so they will come here.”“Good to know. So, what are you doing these days?” Thomas said. “You haven’t been playing much poker lately. Are you busy learning your neighbor’s habits after buying a villa?”“Neighbor’s habits, huh…” Charles sighed. “In this wicked world, keeping up with the Joneses is a recipe for disaster. I use my own discernment and decide what to foll

“I didn’t think he’d be this powerful…” Thomas’ eyes stayed wide-opened, as he witnessed through the cracked glass in the door. The thirty vampires were utterly destroyed into bits and pieces. “He’s almost controlling gasoline as it’s his own blood. I’m not seeing things, or am I?”Carlos, however, seemed like he had actually gained strength from the explosion, which sent a shiver down Thomas' spine to say the least.“I-I’m glad that I picked his side,” Thomas thought. “If he can keep at it, there won’t be any need for us to even interfere, but… in a one vs many, anything can happen. Instead of putting him through a risky fight, it’s better to be on the safe side.”Most of the ceiling had cracked and collapsed. Carlos punched the weakened ceiling and destroyed it. He flew up and landed on the ground floor inside the factory. In the distance, Leslie and Samantha were grinding their teeth at him.Samantha clapped twice, and the 68 remaining vampires standing outside the factory rushed i

Carlos was overwhelmed, not just because more than sixty vampires were literally trying to rip him apart but also because the white bony cage continuously sucked his energy.It was a skill that Samantha had learned from Butcher Bones. In fact, she had been granted the power to use that skill, and she believed that she had just put it to good use.Inside that sturdy white cage, Carlos couldn’t control his blood. He couldn’t use his abilities. In fact, he was losing his awakened form and was beginning to turn into his human form.“What’s going on?” Leslie looked a little confused. “Why isn’t he fighting back? Isn’t he super-awakened or something?”“He might have awakened his blood, but he’s still a Blood Sucker,” Samantha indifferently said. “He’s nothing compared to our boss, Butcher, who’s a Life Leecher. The fundamental difference in their abilities in itself is something that can’t ever be made up for. Otherwise, the Slaughter Squad would have long killed him and eaten him piece to

AUTHOR'S EPISTLE

And then, I thank the readers for their support. A special thanks to the top gem supporters: Samuel Kalu, libertysomerville, and o4igins master. Also, I very much thank the reader ‘Sarah Neuser’ for her wonderful review. Your review definitely helped me keep the passion going, so you have my humble appreciation. APOLOGY:: I apologize for not finishing this novel sooner, even though I could have.

I will do my best to finish the remaining
EPILOGUE
The next morning.Victoria woke up and did not receive a bed coffee. She went to the kitchen,only to find a letter there on the fridge.Cassey had written a letter and disappeared. In the letter, she thanked Victoria for her care, and apologized for leaving this way because she knew Victoria wouldn’t let her go otherwise.“The bats must have really scared her,” Victoria couldn’t really blame Cassey, but she was still angry that Cassey left without even telling directly to her face. “If she comes back running after a few months, I won’t take her in.”On the other hand, Gregory, having lost his argument with Victoria the previous night, brought a black magician to chase the bats away. However, they didn’t know this black magician was a fake. But that would probably be not proven because the bats would no longer attack the mansion from here onward.Sofia told her mother to prepare her multiple masks, one of which looked like Cassey, and others that looked like different people, including
CHAPTER 253
Many minutes passed since Sofia and others got stuck in the smelly basement filled with rat poop and what not. Moreover, these rats were the size of cats. From having eaten all kinds of roots and seeds in the garden, they grew very bulky, and they did not fear these four humans. They were more arrogant than the Myers themselves, as if they were the real owners of this place!As everyone waited with bated breaths, about an hour or so later, the music stopped. The sound of bats leaving reached their ears.“Did they leave?” Sofia wondered. She told Cassey to check on it, but Cassey was still feeling her wounds. She refused to go out.They waited a few minutes before coming out. To their relief, the bats were gone, and so did the guitar, but they didn’t care about the guitar.“Our mansion must be cursed,” Victoria looked at Gregory. “Do something.”“What do you want me to do? Bring some black magicians?” he yelled in frustration.“I don’t know! Just make sure they won’t even come near our
CHAPTER 252
In the middle of the night, Sofia was rolling around and slapping her arms every now and then because bugs were biting her. There was no fan or AC in this cottage. All she had was a hand fan, and her arms had grown heavy from waving the fan. Now, she was completely drenched in sweat, and this made it all the more difficult for her to properly sleep.She got up from the couch and shook her dress before walking out of the cottage. She could see the mansion in the distance. The words her mother told her a day ago came to her mind.“After the wedding was stopped, we didn’t care about anything. But your sister went to the catering guys and told them to give the food to the homeless. They went and freely distributed the food throughout the city in our family’s name,” Victoria showed the details in the newspaper. “This is good for us because the public opinion will surely improve after this incident. We’re doing our best to make those videos Carlos showed at the wedding are fake. Even if som
CHAPTER 251
After shooting Carlos eight times, Sofia ran away from the scene.Not only were there multiple witnesses, there was also a camera recording of the scene, which was provided as evidence to the police before the Myers family could do anything about it. So, the police began to search for Sofia everywhere.While Sofia was on the run, Carlos Wallace a.k.a, Charles Wallace was officially declared dead. And all those who knew him mourned his death.His story of Charles Wallace had become so popular it was printed in multiple magazines, and a popular writer had announced that he would be writing a biography of Carlos, and he requested some funds for researching in depth about the life of Carlos Wallace. Within just a few days, the author received thousands of dollars as funds from the interested public.Victoria and Gregory, on the other hand, publicly stated that they have nothing to do with their eldest daughter’s actions and did not support what Sofia had done. However, in secret, they mai

Sofia was too stunned to even talk or blink for that matter. Seeing Carlos had frozen her to the core.“C-Carlos!” Victoria shouted like a pig walking on broken glass. “Why are you disguised as Charles? What have you done to him? Where is he?”“He’s… standing right before you,” Carlos raised the face mask in his hand. “I’m Carlos. And I’m Charles.”Victoria’s eyes grew wider than the seas. The wine glass in her hand fell.“I’m Carlos Wallce. I’m Charles Wallace,” Carlos added. “I’m the guy that has been treated like a trash, not worth her time, by Sofia no matter how much I tried to please her, and I’m also the guy that she has fallen for because she believed she deserved me when I was a gambler who earns in millions every match.”Sofia still kept stupidly staring in gut-busting shock. (No! No! No! This can’t be true! This must be a dream! It has to be!) She refused to accept what was transpiring right before her eyes.However, why wasn’t the nightmare ending?Why was Carlos still sta

Charles was preparing in his room all by himself. Someone knocked on the door multiple times.“Coming.” Charles opened the door only to get shocked to see Laurel who had wet eyes, and there was anger dwelling in her eyes. She entered the room without his permission and locked the door. “What are you doing?”She looked into his eyes. “Didn’t you say you can’t make a woman pregnant? Why are you marrying Sofia?”Charles maintained a straight face. “You will know soon.”“What do you mean I’ll know soon?” Laurel frowned.“That’s all I can say. If you leave, I’ll prepare for the wedding,” Charles said.Laurel clenched her fist. “I hate you, Charles. I wish I never met you.” Holding her tears back, she rushed out of the room.Charles pursed his lips and took a deep breath. When he looked at himself in the mirror, he hated whom he was seeing.Meanwhile, in another room, Sofia was looking at herself in the mirror with a bouquet in her hand, she felt so happy. Her mother kissed her and said, “F
CHAPTER 248
Almost a week later, the wedding day has arrived.The Sky Moon Hotel’s rooftop was chosen as the wedding venue. All the top three floors were reserved for 120,000 dollars for three days and nights so that the guests could stay at the hotel for three more days after the wedding.Gregory had to do at least this much because it was his eldest daughter’s wedding. Everybody that was given the invitation cards were also later sent Myers’ branded clothes fitting to their body sizes so that everybody who would come to the wedding would be wearing the clothes of his brand and his brand only.Though no press was allowed at the wedding, some private photographers were hired to capture every moment so that Gregory could later use the footage to market his brand all over the world. After all, many billionaires from around the world were invited to the wedding, and even more guests to the reception that would follow the morning after the wedding night.The Sky Moon Hotel was a 120-floored building
CHAPTER 247
Charles spent a few hours with Bob and Charlie, eating with them and buying them things. He parted with them in the evening.As Charles was walking back home, he thought back about his life. Many years ago, when he was very young, he was alone. Even after these years, that didn’t seem to have changed as he didn’t have anyone that would walk beside him.Charles was aimlessly walking, and he noticed a few men trying to look from an old beggar. They managed to take more than a hundred dollars from the beggar, but they still wanted more, and they began to rip his clothes, trying to see if he was hiding the money elsewhere.The beggar was old and weak, so he couldn’t fight back against the two youngsters.Charles approached from behind and grabbed their necks. They couldn’t move their necks, not even a little.“Give his money back,” Charles uttered, putting a bit more strength into his grip, and the youngsters quickly dropped the money. Charles then let go of them, and they ran away pretty
