THE SON IN LAW WANTS HIS REVENGE Chapter 17
James spent a few hours at the cafe with Victor. They discussed their plans and how to expose his mother-in -law. They both laughed and chatted but, deep down in James's heart he wasn’t happy.He wants to get to the root of the problems he was facing. He thought about having an accomplice rather than victor being the only one that he could talk to. But, who could he trust? It’s only Victor that has been part of his life.One cold Sunday morning, James was at the dining table having his breakfast when he heard mother-in-law talking to someone on the phone. She was loud and her voice sounded like someone who was angry and disappointed.He wondered what could have gotten her in that state. He got up from the chair, tiptoed towards her room with a plan of getting to know the truth. He stood behind the window, peeped through the curtains to see what was happening.Mother-in-law spoke to the caller in a very harsh tone “what’s your problem this fool? So you’ve been caught! And you never bo
THE SON IN LAW WANTS HIS REVENGE Chapter 18
There was silence for about two minutes, James thought about what Mr John said. How can Mr John help him in exposing mother-in-law? Moreover he’s an aged man, does he have the strength to go through this phase I’m facing? James cleared his throat, breaking the silence that had existed between them. “So, how can you do that? She's smarter than you think”. He said, staring at him eager to get a reply. Mr John heaved, looking like a child who was already exhausted. He moved closer to James as he touched him on his shoulder. “Like I said, son. I know Helen Shaw quite well, I will help you in exposing her”. Mr John assured him. “Alright. So what’s the plan”? James asked curiously. “Do you know about any of her accomplice?” Mr John asked, sipping his glass of vodka. James paused for a while, he thought about it. He knew she had one and he can’t remember his name.. “Yes, I do. But I can't recall what his name is”. He said, itching his head in an aggressive manner. “Think ab

James returned home feeling excited like one who won a lottery. He was overwhelmed by the meet up he had with Mr John. He can’t wait for the grand event that would take place.He called out his wife in a sweet and romantic tone, his heart knew no bounds. This was the first time he found peace and joy.“Hey honey,” he said as he kissed her on her forehead. “How are you doing, my lovely dearest wife?” he asked, admiring Pamella’s beauty. “Oh, why the excitement?” she chuckled, “you’ve never been this happy in a while!” she said, putting his hands on her waist.“Oh dear. I’m the happiest man on earth”, he looked at her, swinging her on the bed.“Easy man”, she said, smiling sheepishly at the behaviour of her husband.“Honey, don’t you think it’s time we have kids?” she said, fixing her gaze on James.James's heart stopped beating for a while, he didn't want to have his kids living in mother-in-law’s house. In a swift, he stood up from the bed turning his back at her in order to avoid he

The day came, The Silver Crown Hotel was filled with kings, politicians, celebrities, industry titans, journalists eagerly awaiting the highlights of the evening.James was dressed in a tailored blue suit, he looked so handsome that he got everyone staring. He walked with Mr John preparing for their biggest plot. Mr John looked eagerly in search of Helen Shaw. James felt bold; he knew that things would work in his favour. Mr John turned to him “do not eat or drink anything from here” he said, giving a sigh of warning “they might be poisoned by Helen Shaw”.“Yes, sir. I remembered what happened the previous time.” he replied, reassuring him.“Alright. Let’s keep our eyes on her.” Mr John told him as he walked into empty space.Finally Helen Shaw appears in the hallway leading to the audience room. She was seen by John and James. They knew it was time to act first, they also searched for Brandon Holt they must miss this opportunity.The grand ballroom was lively, a shimmering wonderla

James was home sitting on his couch relaxing after the revenge. He scrolled through his phone, his eyes fixed on the barrage of headlines flashing across his screen “FRAUD AT MAPLE GROUP? MAPLE GROUP UNDER FIRE FOR ALLEGED FINANCIAL SCANDAL” He rushed to the office where we worked. The door of his office creaked open, and Ethan stepped in, his expression was mixed with urgency and sadness. “It’s everywhere,” he said, tossing a stack of printed articles onto the desk. “Social media is eating us up! They’re against ruining our reputation. We’ve already lost clients from overseas, if this continues we will all..”“It won't,” James interrupted, his tone sharper than he intended. He inhaled deeply, forcing himself to stay composed, “We’ll fix this. Organize the team. I want every shred of evidence disproving these lies compiled by the end of the day.”Ethan nodded, but didn’t move, “it’s just the team james. They’re calling for a meeting tomorrow morning. You know what that means?” he sa

James sat in his office, the soft hum of the air conditioner blending with the distant sounds of the city below. His fingers tapped rhythmically against the sleek surface of his desk as he skimmed through the latest reports from Maple Group’s legal and PR teams. Despite the storm Brandon and his allies had stirred, James's countermeasures had steadied the company.His team had already uncovered the connection between Brandon and Helen Shaw. That revelation was a goldmine, but James knew he needed to thread carefully.James, we’ve traced Brandon’s financial movements,” Lisa said as she stepped into the room, a tablet in hand. “He’s funneling money into shell companies linked to Helen’s network. He’s been using her contacts in prison to orchestrate these attacks.”James smirked. “He’s bold, I’ll give him that. But boldness without precision can be dangerous. Let’s use this to our advantage.”Lisa raised an eyebrow. “What’s the plan?”“We’re going to expose the connection, but not just y

The Maple Group's conference room was unusually quiet. James sat at the head of the table his senior team gathered around him. A large screen on the wall displayed the results of their silent investigation."Brandon's been busy," Lisa said, clicking through the evidence. "We have everything-money trails, prison correspondences, and even his connection to Helen's shell companies. It's alright."James nodded. "Good. Today, we end this charade. Does Brandon want to play dirty? Let's show him what real power looks like."Victor smirked. "We're ready to pull the trigger. The press conference is scheduled for noon."James's expression remained calm, but his voice carried the weight of finality. "This isn't just about clearing our name. I want every last link between Brandon and Helen exposed. Let the world see who they are."Across town, Brandon was in damage-control mode. The mysterious emails from the night before had rattled him, but he couldn't let it show. He sat at his desk, reviewing

Pamela sat in the living room, the dim evening light casting shadows on the walls. Helen’s voice echoed in her head, her mother’s sharp words from their recent phone call ringing louder than Pamela wanted to admit.“James isn’t fit for this family,” Helen had said, her tone clipped. “He’s weak, and if you can’t see that, then you’re blind. Brandon Holt has been our ally for years, and your husband is nothing more than a liability.”Pamela had stayed quiet during the call, as she often did when Helen went on one of her tirades. But something about this time felt… off. Helen’s venom seemed almost desperate, as if she knew something Pamela didn’t.She glanced at James, who sat at the dining table with his laptop, his brow furrowed in concentration. He had been unusually focused lately, leaving early in the mornings and returning late, often with a quiet intensity that Pamela couldn’t place.“James,” she said, breaking the silence.He looked up, his gaze steady but questioning. “Yes?”“Ar

James set his phone down, his fingers tightening around the device. Liam Donovan wasn’t just another businessman—he was a predator, the kind who thrived on exploiting weaknesses. Gregory had been desperate enough to call in a man like that, and now, even behind bars, his reach still lingered.Pamela’s brows furrowed as she stepped closer. “What did he say?”James exhaled slowly, his gaze fixed on the city skyline beyond his office window. “He made an offer.”Victor scoffed. “Let me guess. ‘Why fight when we can strike a deal’?”James smirked. “Almost word for word.”Pamela’s stomach tightened. “And what does he want?”James turned to her, his expression unreadable. “Control.”Victor’s jaw clenched. “Then we have a problem.”James’s eyes darkened. “No. He has a problem.”The Trap is SetBy morning, James had already begun countermeasures. Liam operated in the shadows, but that didn’t mean James couldn’t bring him into the light.Victor stood at James’s desk, handing over a file. “We fo

The Last Loose EndDespite Gregory’s arrest, James couldn’t shake the feeling that something was unfinished. He sat in his office at Maple Group, fingers steepled as he studied the documents Victor had placed in front of him.“All of Gregory’s accounts have been frozen,” Victor reported. “The properties under his name are being seized. His investors have pulled out. On paper, he’s done.”James barely nodded. “And off paper?”Victor hesitated. “There’s one thing we haven’t accounted for—his offshore connections. Before his arrest, he made a large transfer to an unnamed entity. We don’t know where it went.”James’s jaw tightened. “Whoever received that money is still out there.”Victor sighed. “I’ve got people digging. But there’s something else you should see.”He pushed a file forward.James opened it. The first page was a printed email—one that had been sent from Gregory’s encrypted account just hours before his arrest.James’s eyes darkened as he read the message:“If you’re reading
Chapter 102
A Race Against TimeJames’s car sped through the city streets, Victor’s voice sharp in his earpiece.“We have a location. Gregory’s men were spotted near the east industrial district. They’re moving in on something—or someone.”James’s grip on the steering wheel tightened. “Pamela and Emily?”“They’re secure,” Victor assured him. “But this isn’t just a scare tactic, James. Gregory is making his final move.”James’s jaw clenched. “Then we make ours.”At the East Industrial DistrictThe air was thick with tension as Gregory’s men surrounded the abandoned warehouse. The target was inside—someone they had been paid to silence.Inside, a man sat in the shadows, his face pale with fear. He had once been one of Gregory’s closest business allies, but now, he was nothing more than a liability. He had agreed to testify against Gregory, and in return, Gregory had sent his men to eliminate him.A masked man stepped forward, gun in hand. “Mr. Shaw sends his regards.”The man squeezed his eyes shut

James’s grip on his phone tightened as he reread the threat. A slow, dangerous smirk curled at the corner of his lips, but Pamela knew better—it wasn’t amusement. It was fury.Gregory Shaw had just crossed a line he could never come back from.Pamela’s pulse quickened. “James, what do we do?”James exhaled slowly, his gaze like ice. “We make him regret ever sending this message.”He immediately called Victor.“We have a problem,” James said, his voice controlled but lethal. “Gregory just sent a threat. He’s desperate. That makes him reckless.”Victor cursed. “He wouldn’t dare—”“He would,” James cut in. “And I need every possible angle covered. Track his movements, monitor his calls. If he so much as breathes near Pamela or Emily, I want to know before he even makes a move.”Pamela straightened at the mention of her daughter. “James, do you think he’ll target Emily?”James met her gaze, his expression unreadable. “Gregory’s losing everything. He’ll go after what he thinks will hurt me

The tension in the room was thick as James turned the flash drive over in his hands. The weight of the evidence it contained was undeniable. This wasn’t just a business war anymore—this was a complete takedown.Pamela watched him carefully. “What’s the plan?”James glanced at Mr. Carter, his expression unreadable. “We verify everything first. If Gregory has ties to bribery and offshore fraud, we’re not just exposing a businessman—we’re dragging government officials into this.”Mr. Carter nodded. “I understand. But I promise you, everything on that drive is real.”James stood, his movements precise. “Then we’ll find out soon enough.” He turned to Pamela. “I need Victor on this. If there’s a single hole in this information, Gregory will exploit it.”Pamela nodded, already pulling out her phone. “I’ll have him start analyzing it immediately.”James looked back at Carter. “You know Gregory. The moment he suspects a threat, he eliminates it. Are you ready for what happens when this goes pu

Pamela’s pulse quickened as Gregory Shaw continued his speech, his tone dripping with confidence.“In times of uncertainty, leadership must be willing to adapt,” Gregory said smoothly. “That’s why I am extending an offer of strategic partnership to Maple Group—one that will ensure long-term stability and prosperity.”Pamela scoffed. “He’s making it sound like you need him.”James didn’t react, his gaze locked on the screen.Gregory’s smirk deepened. “It’s no secret that Maple Group has faced significant challenges in recent months. Market volatility, increased competition… But with the right allies, these obstacles become opportunities.” He paused, letting his words sink in before delivering his final blow. “That is why I am confident that James Walker will make the right choice for his company, his employees, and his future.”The press erupted into a flurry of questions, but Gregory simply nodded, his message clear: The ball was now in James’s court.Pamela clenched her fists. “He’s

The following morning, Pamela arrived at Maple Group’s headquarters earlier than expected. She had spent most of the night thinking about everything she had learned the day before, her mind spinning with strategies, risks, and possibilities.Now, as she stepped into the sleek lobby, she felt different—more determined, more confident.“Mrs. Walker,” the receptionist greeted her with a polite smile. “Mr. Walker mentioned you’d be coming in today.”Pamela nodded. “Is he in his office?”“Yes, but he’s in a meeting right now.”Pamela thanked her and headed to James’s office anyway, figuring she’d wait. But as she reached the door, she heard voices inside—one of them sharp, unfamiliar.“I don’t care what it takes, Walker. Our deal stands, or you’ll regret it.”Pamela froze. The tone was threatening, laced with arrogance.James’s response was calm, but firm. “You overestimate your leverage. If you think threats will change my stance, you’re mistaken.”A pause. Then the other man scoffed. “We

Pamela sat in James’s office, flipping through the reports with intense focus. Numbers, market trends, financial statements—it was a lot to take in, but she wasn’t about to back down. She had asked for this, and she intended to prove she could handle it.The door opened, and Victor strolled in without knocking. “Still here? Thought you’d run off after one meeting.”Pamela smirked without looking up. “Disappointed?”Victor chuckled, taking a seat across from her. “Actually, I’m impressed. James doesn’t let just anyone touch these reports.” He glanced at James, who was reviewing his own documents. “Guess that means you’re really serious about learning the ropes.”“I am.” Pamela tapped her pen against the page. “And since you’re here, maybe you can help me with something.”Victor raised an eyebrow. “Oh? What’s got you stumped?”She pointed to a section on international expansion. “I get the overall strategy, but what’s the real risk here? The numbers look good, but something feels off.”
Chapter 96
The next morning, Pamela stood in front of the mirror, smoothing out the crisp blazer James had left for her. It wasn’t overly formal, but it was a step above her usual attire—something that fit the role she was stepping into today.Her reflection stared back at her, filled with both anticipation and nerves. Today, she would walk into Maple Group not as James’s wife, but as someone determined to understand his world.A knock on the door pulled her from her thoughts. “Pamela?” James’s deep voice carried through the room.She turned, her lips curving into a small smile. “I’m ready.”James leaned against the doorframe, his gaze sweeping over her. “You look the part.”“Let’s see if I can act the part.”His smirk was both amused and approving. “You’ll do fine. Just pay attention and don’t let Victor intimidate you.”Pamela chuckled. “I think I can handle Victor.”James extended a hand, and she took it without hesitation. “Then let’s get to work.”—Stepping into Maple Group’s headquarters
