THE SON IN LAW WANTS HIS REVENGE Chapter 1
James clenched his fists, his gaze fixed on the floor. “You took every penny,” he whispered, his voice laced with barely restrained anger. “That money was for my sister’s medical bills, Helen.”Helen Shaw scoffed, folding her arms with a look of complete disdain. “That money was wasted on a useless fool like you. My son deserves a proper wedding, and you don’t deserve to be part of this family. You’re pathetic.”James swallowed hard, his mind spinning with the weight of her words. For three years, I’ve tried to make this work, to be what they expect, but no matter what I do, it’s never enough. He fought the urge to retaliate, knowing it would only worsen things.Pamela stood silently behind her mother, her eyes filled with uncertainty. “Mom… maybe he just… Maybe James needs a break.”“Pamela, don’t defend him,” Helen snapped, her voice icy. “He’s failed you. Failed everyone. I’ve told him a hundred times to leave you. He’s nothing but a leech.”James felt his chest tighten as he glanc

James tried to process the shock as he faced Victor in the grand, opulent office.“So… you’re telling me my father, the man who couldn’t afford hospital bills, was secretly a billionaire?” James’s voice was thick with disbelief.Victor nodded, his gaze steady. “Not just a billionaire, James. He built Maple Group, one of the largest conglomerates in the country. And as of today, it’s all yours.”James laughed bitterly. “This feels like some kind of joke. Why would he keep this hidden from us?”Victor’s expression softened. “David was a man of many secrets, but he wanted you to inherit everything once you were ready. Today is that day.”James shook his head, struggling to understand. “So… my sister? Her medical expenses?”Victor leaned forward. “Taken care of. A private team is with her as we speak.”James exhaled slowly, relief flooding him. “Thank you… I mean, thank you for everything. But I just… I don’t understand why my father would let us live like that.”Victor studied him for a

James paused in the doorway, taking in the sight before him. Tom sat on the leather couch, laughing and talking with his in-laws, a glass of expensive wine in hand and a smug grin plastered on his face. James’s jaw tightened.Helen glanced up, her eyes narrowing. “Look who finally decided to join us,” she sneered. “James, maybe take some notes from Tom here on how to be a real provider.”George chuckled. “Maybe if you learned to be a man, we wouldn’t have to entertain better options for Pamela.”James ignored them, his gaze fixed on Tom. “Interesting choice of company, Tom.”Tom raised his glass, feigning surprise. “James! Always a pleasure.”“Is it?” James replied, his tone ice-cold. His eyes flicked to the lavish gifts spread across the table: vintage wine, a designer handbag, and a diamond necklace.Helen clapped her hands. “Oh, look at what Tom brought! Real gifts, not the cheap things you get for Pamela.”Tom leaned toward Pamela, placing the necklace in her lap. “This would look

James’s voice was ice-cold, each word clipped with barely contained fury. “You think $3,000 will cover what you did to my sister, Tom?”Tom gave a smug shrug, slipping a wad of cash out of his wallet and tossing it onto the table. “It’s more than you’ve ever seen, James. Take it or leave it.”Helen laughed, picking up the cash. “Honestly, James, maybe spend this on something useful. Like… makeup for me.”The comment hung in the air, and James felt his anger boiling over. He looked around at their smug, indifferent faces, something inside him snapping. Without a word, he grabbed the expensive bottle of wine from the table, his grip firm.Before Tom could react, James swung, smashing the bottle against the side of Tom’s head. Glass shattered, and Tom slumped back, a stunned expression replacing his arrogant smirk.Helen gasped, her hand flying to her mouth. “James! Have you lost your mind?”But James ignored her, his eyes blazing as he grabbed another bottle, letting the moment settle.

James couldn’t help but smirk as he read through the high school reunion chat on his phone. The messages from Luke Hunter, flaunting his “success” and throwing jabs about James’s past poverty, were nothing short of juvenile. The insults piled up, old accusations resurfacing, and his former classmates joined in, laughing at his expense.Same old Luke, James thought, feeling a familiar anger simmer inside him. Memories of high school came flooding back—the day Luke had framed him for theft, the shame he endured, the way everyone had turned on him. But today, he wasn’t that powerless teenager anymore. He was ready to respond… in his own way.James opened his banking app, set up a string of transfers, each accompanied by a custom message, and began sending money into the group chat.A notification appeared in the chat:James Smith sent $50“Luke is a dumbass.”Within seconds, another:James Smith sent $100“Luke is a coward.”The chat exploded with curiosity and laughter as each new trans

Luke’s voice echoed across the lobby of Maple Properties as he strode toward James, his expression smug with exaggerated authority. “James! Didn’t expect to see you here so soon. Or did you come to beg for a real job?”James looked up from his phone, his calm demeanor only fueling Luke’s ire. He chose silence, watching as Luke’s eyes narrowed, irate.“Silent, huh? Figures.” Luke turned to the security guards and barked, “Get this guy a mop and bucket. He’s perfect for the toilets.”The security captain, a wiry man with a barely concealed smirk, jumped in. “You heard the man, James. Time to clean up after the real employees.” He chuckled, elbowing his fellow guards, who joined in the mockery.Luke stepped closer, his voice low but full of venom. “You think you can embarrass me in front of everyone, and I’ll just let it slide? No chance. You’re going to remember your place, pauper.”James stood his ground, his calm gaze never leaving Luke. If only you knew, he thought, swallowing the ur

The dim light of the restroom flickered above as James stood cornered by two security guards, their sneers making it clear they relished this moment.“Guess you didn’t think you’d end up back here, did you, ‘Mr. Carter’?” one guard jeered, pushing him toward the stalls. “Still pretending to be someone important?”James remained silent, his gaze steady despite the humiliation. Let them think they have the upper hand, he told himself. Their time will come.Just then, his phone vibrated in his pocket. He managed to pull it out, seeing Alexis Lane’s name flash across the screen. But before he could answer, the guard nearest him snatched the phone.“Well, well, what’s this? Ms. Lane is calling you? Trying to get help, huh?” The guard laughed and answered the call, pressing the speaker button.“Hello, James?” Alexis’s voice was sharp, laced with authority. “Where are you?”“Oh, James is a little busy right now,” the guard sneered, his voice dripping with mockery. “Why don’t you mind your bu
THE SON IN LAW WANTS HIS REVENGE Chapter 8
James strode down the hallway of Maple Properties, his steps quick and resolute, the echo of Ray and the guards’ humiliation still lingering in his mind. Alexis walked beside him, her demeanor professional and respectful, an evident contrast to the earlier mockery he had faced.She gestured toward a set of polished mahogany doors. “Mr. Carter, here’s your office,” she said, opening the door to reveal a spacious, luxurious workspace with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the city skyline.James took in the opulent setting—a modern desk, state-of-the-art equipment, and plush leather seating arranged around a glass coffee table. He turned to Alexis, his expression calm but curious. “Quite the upgrade from the construction site, don’t you think?”She managed a smile, an acknowledgment of his past. “I’m genuinely sorry for how you were treated earlier. It was inexcusable.”James gave her a curt nod. “I appreciate your support, Alexis. And I’ll need it, especially as we investigate Ray’s

The tension in the air was suffocating. Pamela sat in her living room, her heart pounding as she stared at the extra security team James had stationed around their home. Emily sat beside her, blissfully unaware of the storm brewing outside.James had left early that morning, his face grim but determined. Pamela could still hear his parting words echoing in her mind.“Stay inside. Don’t go anywhere unless I call you. Trust me, Pamela. I’ll handle this.”But she couldn’t shake the feeling that things were spiraling out of control. Brandon’s desperation made him unpredictable, and the idea of him targeting her or Emily filled her with dread.As the hours dragged on, Pamela tried to distract herself, but her mind kept wandering to James. How much longer could he carry this burden? How far would Brandon go to take him down?Meanwhile, at Holt Industries, chaos reigned. Brandon paced his office, his phone pressed to his ear as he shouted into the receiver.“You said you had a plan! Where ar

James leaned back in his office chair, his gaze fixed on the glowing monitor before him. The file Victor had delivered earlier contained irrefutable evidence proof of Brandon’s direct involvement in money laundering, tax evasion, and even bribery of government officials. It was the final nail in the coffin, a comprehensive report that would destroy Brandon’s already crumbling alliances.Pamela entered the room quietly, setting a cup of coffee on his desk. “You’ve been in here all night,” she said softly.James looked up, exhaustion evident in his eyes. “It’s almost over,” he said, his voice steady. “By tomorrow, Brandon’s empire will be nothing but a memory.”Pamela sat beside him, watching as he meticulously prepared the next move. “How do you feel about it?” she asked after a pause.James hesitated, then admitted, “Relieved. But it’s not just about me anymore. It’s about protecting everything we’ve built everything we stand for.”The next day, James released the evidence strategical

Brandon Holt sat in the dimly lit confines of his office, the flicker of city lights casting long shadows across the room. The once-booming headquarters of Holt Enterprises had grown eerily silent, its staff reduced to whispers of discontent.He leaned forward in his chair, glaring at the screen of his tablet. The latest news headline burned into his vision:“Insider Trading Allegations Rock Holt Enterprises – Brandon Holt Under Fire.”Brandon’s knuckles whitened as he gripped the edge of his desk. His phone vibrated with incoming calls—shareholders, journalists, even former allies—but he ignored them all. His empire was crumbling, and he was running out of time.“Get me Derrick Lane,” Brandon barked into his intercom.“Mr. Lane resigned this morning,” his assistant replied, her voice trembling.“What?” Brandon stood abruptly, the chair scraping against the hardwood floor. “Why wasn’t I told?”“I… I sent you the memo, sir,” she stammered.Brandon froze, realization dawning. His allies

James sat in his private office, the room dimly lit except for the soft glow of his computer screen. In front of him lay a folder Victor had delivered earlier that day. Inside was the key to Brandon’s downfall: irrefutable evidence of his involvement in fraud, bribery, and embezzlement.Victor leaned against the desk, arms crossed. “This is enough to bury him, James. But it’s not just about exposing him—it’s about how you play this. We need to dismantle his network piece by piece.”James nodded, his mind already racing with possibilities. “Brandon built his empire on alliances and fear. If we expose him strategically, his own people will turn on him.”Over the next few days, James and Victor crafted their plan. Each piece of evidence was tied to one of Brandon’s key allies—business partners, government officials, and financial backers. The goal was simple: make them realize Brandon was no longer an asset but a liability.The first blow came through an anonymous leak to a prominent fin

James leaned back in his chair, his eyes fixed on the city skyline through the wide windows of his office. The last few weeks had been relentless—every piece of Brandon Holt’s empire was crumbling, and James had made sure of it. Yet, he knew the battle wasn’t over. Garth, Brandon’s ruthless ally, was still operating in the shadows, waiting for his moment to strike.Pamela walked into the room, holding a cup of coffee for him. She placed it on the desk and hesitated for a moment. James glanced up, his expression softening when he saw her.“Still working?” she asked quietly, her tone carrying a mix of concern and admiration.“There’s just one last thing to handle,” James replied, leaning forward. “Brandon’s done for, but Garth… he’s a different kind of problem. I have to finish this.”Pamela nodded, taking the seat across from him. “Whatever it takes, James. I trust you.”Her words struck him. It wasn’t long ago that Pamela doubted his capabilities, pressured by her family’s constant cr
Chapter 64
James stood on the balcony of his office, his sharp gaze fixed on the city skyline. The weight of the past few weeks had been immense, but the resolve in his heart was unshakable. His plan to dismantle Brandon’s crumbling empire was in full swing, but his thoughts were elsewhere—on Pamela.In their home, Pamela sat in her study, replaying the moments of James’s recent sacrifices in her mind. Despite Helen’s constant urging to leave him, Pamela couldn’t ignore the truth. James was no longer the man she had once doubted. He had become a fortress, standing strong against every storm.The MeetingLater that evening, James and Pamela found themselves in the living room, the air between them charged with unspoken emotions.“James,” Pamela began, her voice soft but firm, “I’ve been thinking… about everything.”James turned to her, his usual calm replaced with a flicker of vulnerability. “What is it, Pamela?”“I see it now,” she said, taking a step closer. “The sacrifices you’ve made, the bat

Pamela stood at the edge of the grand living room, her arms crossed as she observed James. He was seated at the far end, surrounded by stacks of documents and his trusted confidants, Victor and a few senior executives from Maple Group. The tension in the air was almost palpable.For weeks, she had seen James tirelessly working to shield his company and their lives from Brandon and Garth’s relentless attacks. Despite her mother’s constant urgings to leave him, Pamela had decided to stay. Watching James endure sleepless nights and unrelenting pressure had awakened a new understanding within her—a deep admiration for his strength, resilience, and unwavering determination.Pamela took a deep breath and walked into the room. The quiet murmurs of the men fell silent as all eyes turned to her. James looked up, his gaze meeting hers.“Can we talk?” she asked, her voice soft but firm.James glanced at Victor, who gave a knowing nod and led the others out of the room. As the door clicked shut,

Pamela sat with her phone pressed to her ear, her heart racing as the line connected. "Melanie," she said when a familiar voice answered. "I need a favor." Melanie's laughter crackled on the other end. "Pamela Shaw? It's been years! What kind of favor are we talking about?" "Something serious," Pamela said, her voice steady despite the weight of her words. "I need information. There's a man named Garth working with Brandon Holt-they're targeting my husband and his company. I know you still have contacts in the media and corporate circles. Can you help me dig up something on them?" There was a pause, followed by a sharp intake of breath. "Pamela, this sounds dangerous. Are you sure you want to get involved?" "I don't have a choice," Pamela replied. "They're coming after my family. If you can find anything-anything at all-I'll owe you." "Alright," Melanie said after a moment. "I'll see what I can do. Give me a day or two." As Pamela hung up, her determination solidified. For the f

James leaned back in his chair, the dark circles under his eyes betraying the exhaustion he refused to acknowledge. His laptop screen glowed in the dimly lit room, spreadsheets and reports filling the space with silent urgency. Pamela stood in the doorway, watching him with a mixture of admiration and guilt.She’d always thought of James as aloof, a man more married to his ambitions than to her. But tonight, as she watched him work tirelessly for their future, a crack formed in her perception of him.“You should rest,” she said softly, stepping into the room.James looked up, startled. For a moment, his guarded expression faltered, and she saw vulnerability flicker in his eyes.“I can’t,” he admitted, rubbing his temples. “Brandon and Garth aren’t giving me a choice. They’ve hit our shipping routes, and now they’re targeting my suppliers. If I don’t act quickly, Maple Group could face irreversible losses.”Pamela hesitated, then walked closer. “You’ve been doing this alone for so long
