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
THANK YOU:: The Resuscitated Son-in-law… I never thought this would be the first novel I ever get to finish, but I don’t regret it after writing the last few chapters. I fully dedicate my first completed work to my God, Lord Jesus Chirst. If it’s not for Him, I wouldn’t have come into existence, so this is just a little thank you to Him from the bottom of my heart. 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 fell into the trap of competing for competitions and ended up starting to write multiple novels at the same time. I won’t say I regret that, but yeah, it’s been draining me for months. I will do my best to finish the remaining
The Myers clothing brand was one of most popular brands in the world. The members of the Myers family were also well-respected because of their philanthropic works. Even the minister and the governor would give appointments to Gregory, their family head. They weren’t the type to have the best seats in the theater but would reserve the whole theater itself if they decided to watch a movie outside, even though they had a home theater. Such was the stature the Myers enjoyed. With Myers brand worth over 20 billion dollars, it was only natural for the family members to have millions sitting in each of their bank accounts. Well, all except one. They treated every other family member well, except for one, their one-and-only son-in-law, Carlos Wallace. The reason for treating him so poorly was because during a nation-wide fashion event, his whole family was invited to grace the stage. As he and his family of in-laws were on their way, he unintentionally ended up stepping on top of his mother
In the 600-acre Myers mansion. There was a celebration going on because the movie Sofia Myers, Gregory’s eldest daughter, was part of had released recently and become a box office hit. She got recognition for her role as the woman who got oppressed by her boss on one side and her boyfriend on the other side. She used to be a decently successful writer before that, but her acting skills were highly praised by the critics as well as the audiences in her first appearance as an actor. The whole of the Myers family was overjoyed at this. She was fed pieces of cake by her parents and her live-in lover Andres. Sofia was a beauty with bountiful proportions any man would love seeing in a woman. Andres was a perfect package: tall, sturdy, hairy, and handsome. They looked good together was what they believed. “I haven’t been this happy in a long time,” Sofia's eyes turned teary from happiness. “Hard work always pays off,” Gregory, her father, patted her shoulder. He was proud of her achiev
A man with a messy look, Carlos, entered the hair saloon and received many weird glances. Their movements, be it of their eyelids or their fingers, looked to be in slow motion in his eyes. “Hey, this place ain’t for beggars!” one of the workers there tried to push him out, but he took out a hundred dollar bill. “S-Sorry, sir. Please take your seat.” the worker’s behavior took a U-turn. “What type of haircut and shave do you want?” “As clean and simple as possible.” In a few minutes, the job was done. The workers and other customers were surprised by how differently he looked now. Though he had a thin scar running diagonally at the corner of his left eye, his overall appearance was quite manly. He looked rather thin as if he was on an extreme diet, but his deep brow-ridge, his intense gaze, and his thick jaw, everything about his mein screamed manliness. He didn’t care about the change in the impression the others were having of him. He walked out of the saloon and looked around wit
In Myers mansion. The family joined at the dinner table. Victoria had been murmuring with Gregory for a little while, making Andres wonder what they were talking about, even though he acted like he didn’t care. Victoria eventually spoke, eying everyone except Gregory at the table, which included her son, two daughters, and Andres, “I don’t want to do this, but I can’t ignore what happened.” “What are you talking about, Mom?” asked Marlon, her half-assed son who was never good at anything other than playing games and chasing after women older than him. “I’ll get straight to the point,” Victoria didn’t mince her words. “We all know, Carlos rotted in the cottage for weeks.” Everyone nodded in response. “But I found some food packets and water bottles inside.” “What?” Everyone else was shocked to hear that, but Victoria kept scrutinizing their expressions. She couldn’t figure out who did it purely from their expressions. Either none of them did it, or one of them was very good at hidi
A brand new Myers’ luxurious clothing store was being inaugurated by the rising star Sofia Myers. Her live-in lover also accompanied her. Hundreds thronged at the entrance just to see Sofia and to get autographs and selfies. She didn’t give a single autograph or take any selfie until she opened the showroom. She then stated, “I’ll take selfies with those who buy at least one product from this store.” Those words were like fuel thrown in fire. Almost everyone rushed into the store and looked for anything they could buy. Andres was impressed with Sofia. “You really know how to sell stuff.” “Fufu,” she snorted arrogantly. “Look at them fighting like monkeys to buy things from the store. Fans like them are one of the reasons I became an actress. I only need to do a little bit of good now and then, and they’ll take care of the rest.” The two of them could hear people not only talking about Sofia but also her father. Hearing praises from them only swelled Sofia’s pride some more. “You
Andres used the security camera footage to look for the blonde man’s identity on the internet. He didn’t search it for himself but made a worker do it. And the female worker wearing glasses was shocked by the search results. “SFF Charles!” “What?” Andres didn’t like the tone of the worker. “Who is he?” “Straight-fucking-flash Charles, sir!” the worker seemed quite shocked. “This guy got an undefeated record at poker. He pulls out straight flushes half the time and utterly thrashes everyone at the table. Whenever he played, nobody has pulled out a Royal Flush. Never. Not once. Only straight flushes are possible, and that’s also only by him, which is why he’s got the infamous name! Many casinos had already banned this guy from entering!” “He’s a gambler?” “He was. After he got banned by most casinos, he began entering official tournaments, unofficial gaming series and charity events. Do you remember the billionaire Bisconsley’s charity event that happened last month? This guy went a
