THE RESUSCITATED SON-IN-LAW CHAPTER 49
Carlos twisted Brian’s head 180 degrees. “Now you can’t use your post to abuse anybody.” “I don’t think so,” Brian’s pupils shifted up to look at Carlos, sending goosebumps all over his body. “H-How are you still alive?” Carlos stepped back and hit the wall. “The speed and brute strength you’ve showcased…” Brian set his head straight as he stood. “Normal humans can’t do that.” He produced a high-frequency sound, to which Carlos’ expression changed. “It seems you are also a bat bastard just like me.” He immediately grew fangs and claws and lunged at Carlos. Carlos ducked to avoid Brian’s punch, but the punch never came. Instead, Brian’s knee smashed Carlos’ face and forced his head to dig through the wall. While his face was buried in the wall, Brian thrust his hand at Carlos’ heart. Carlos cross-blocked the attack and pushed Brian’s hand away and freed his head out of the wall. “To generate such strength from such an awkward position, you’re not half bad,” Brian smirked as he loo
THE RESUSCITATED SON-IN-LAW CHAPTER 50
On the outskirts of the city, Carlos was sitting at an abandoned building. It was pouring outside. Though he had left the place where his video was being telecasted to all the citizens, he still couldn’t get it out of his mind. He clenched his fists so hard, blood dripped down. “Sofia… just how low will you stoop?” he wanted to fly over to the Myers mansion and dash her head to Victoria’s head until their skills cracked and both of them died in a pool of their pathetic blood. But he was holding himself back. “I want you to feel the same pain that I did, no, even worse, if possible. Your mother, too. There’s no way I can forget about her. There’s no way I can forgive you two!” A little boy came running to the abandoned building, and though he was completely soaked, Carlos could tell that he was crying. “What happened?” he asked. “One uncle came into the house,” he replied in a sad voice, with his head lowered. “Mom woke me up and sent me out.” His words touched Carlos’ still-bea

Carlos put all his strength into his feet. He even employed his wings to boost his speed, but the distance between him and this cloaked person only kept on increasing, until a dot was all he could see. Eventually, that little dot also merged with the darkness. Carlos gave up chasing. He was sweating and gasping. “Damn. Who the hell is this person? How can they be so fast? And why are they messing with me?” He suddenly remembered the flowers and the envelope. “Shit. I have to return to that place now?” Though some part of him didn’t want to, he also wanted to read what was written in the envelope this time. When he came back, the wind had pushed the flowers and the envelope to a different place, but he managed to find them. He didn’t pick the flowers, but he opened the envelope and checked the contents. Only five words were written: Be careful. Trust no one. This made Carlos think. “Just who is this person?” he scratched his head, but he couldn’t even take a guess. “How am I suppo
THE RESUSCITATED SON-IN-LAW CHAPTER 52
“Kya! Don’t shoot!” Alex cried out as Charles used her as a shield. A knife was touching her throat, and so the police were forced to stand down. Some snipers said they had a clear shot, but they weren’t given the signal to shoot, so they could only watch. Moreover, the drama Alexa created made the police’s job all the more difficult. “Don’t shoot, please! I’m still a virgin. If I die, I’ll become a ghost and haunt you and your family for generations! You hear me? I don’t want to die.” Thanks to her nonstop ability to keep talking, Charles barely needed to speak. He took a police vehicle and drove away with Alexa. A couple of choppers followed his trail, but after Charles pushed Alexa’s head out the window, the choppers had to turn around. Some time later, Charles brought Alexa to the outskirts of the city. “How did I do?” she excitedly asked after getting out of the car. “You made my job easy, so you have my thanks.” Charles also stepped out of the car. “Uh, um,” she hesitantly
THE RESUSCITATED SON-IN-LAW CHAPTER 53
Even though Charles hated Sofia, she was still his wife. They hadn't taken a divorce yet, so hearing such filthy words from Raven’s mouth made him lose his temper pretty fast. Before he realized, his hand flew toward Raven’s cheek. However, someone caught his arm and stopped him before his hand reached Raven. To Charles’ surprise, it was Narika. “Control yourself, Mr. Charles,” she said in a low voice. “You don’t want to look arrogant and lose investors on such a crucial day.” She was right, and Charles realized what Raven’s game plan was. “I almost had you,” Raven smirked and then walked away to the nearest cluster of people and began chatting with them. Charles looked at Narika, wanting to thank her, but she also went to another section of the female crowd. Sofia’s sister of all people had helped him from making a mess out of this event. “Narika Myers… I owe you one,” he thought. Even though he wasn’t trying, he ended up overhearing the conversation of the women Narika was chatt
THE RESUSCITATED SON-IN-LAW CHAPTER 54
The event was a grand success. Charles pulled investments from seven companies, though not for free. Some asked to supply blood freely to the hospitals where their employees got treated. Some straight out said they were just gambling like Charles by investing in this blood bank and that they believed he’d bring them profits. He personally greeted everyone as they left. Well, to be exact, not everyone left. Caroline and Laurel stayed a bit longer to talk with Charles. He asked them how Max was doing, and they said Max’s appetite improved a lot recently, and he was able to play with younger dogs. It was like Max’s age went back three to four years. Caroline took Charles to the side and warned him. “Beware of Raven Bones. That man is the son of Butcher Bones who rules this country from the shadows. I’m telling you from my experience, don’t make yourself their enemy. It’s not worth it. You have so many years of a bright future ahead. Don’t spoil it.” “Thanks for your warning, ma’am,”
THE RESUSCITATED SON-IN-LAW CHAPTER 55
Narika’s POV: The event finished, but I found myself still drinking. There’s this unknown abyss inside me that’s pulling all the alcohol in. No matter how much I drank, my thirst wasn’t going away. My sanity was still pretty much there. This was a curse. The ability to not enjoy alcohol like the others. I was downright bored. The alcohol wasn’t doing the job it was supposed to. As I was tapping my finger on the desk, I heard footsteps. Moments later, Charles entered. I could hear him murmur something. However, I didn’t look in his direction. Before I knew it, I was acting like I was inebriated by the alcohol, and I think I know why. Why would a woman act like this before a man? Anyone with an IQ over 100 would be able to guess. I could easily understand my behavior as well, so I guess, my IQ was better than my family members thought. As I kept mumbling to myself, in Charles’ eyes, I probably ended up appearing as if fully under the influence of alcohol. “Let me drop you at your
THE RESUSCITATED SON-IN-LAW CHAPTER 56
There was this sense of anxiety as Charles drove to the same place where the worst memories of him lay, where he spent countless days and nights alone, where his heart turned to stone, and where he received wounds that would probably never heal. No matter how much he had stared at the moon, his troubles hadn’t faded away when he was living there. It was truly a nightmarish experience he wouldn’t wish even upon his enemies. Even now, the weary thoughts weren’t leaving his mind. His brows stayed furrowed as his foot kept pressing the gas pedal until the Myers mansion was in sight. It felt like the building was staring at him, as if it wanted him like no one else did. This was the same mansion that had made him lose sleep for many years. He stopped the car in front of the gate. The old guard saw him and Narika and then made a call to Victoria before opening the gate. He drove in without looking at the guard anymore, and he almost parked the car where he used to out of habit. Eventu

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
CHAPTER 250
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
CHAPTER 249
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
