THE UNEXPECTED TURN OF THE CRIPPLED SON IN LAW 1, THE SHATTERED STRENGTH
chapter one; The shattered strength In the dimly lit hospital room, the sterile scent mingled with fear as John lay motionless on the hospital bed, his once strong body now frail and fragile. A few days ago, John was driving home from work when his car skidded off the road and hit a tree. He suffered serious injuries, including a broken spine, and was rushed to hospital. The accident left him crippled, confined to a hospital bed, and struggling to accept his new reality. Sarah, his wife, sat beside him with a worried look on her face, her hand holding his limp fingers. She glanced anxiously at the door, waiting for her father to arrive. Anthony, a tall man with a stern face, entered the room, his eyes narrowing as he took in John’s broken form. He had once loved John like a son, but now his expression showed only disappointment. “Father, welcome,” Sarah acknowledged, her voice tense with apprehension. “How is he?” he asked, his tone sharp. “He’s stable,” Sarah r

Chapter Two; Finding Strength. As the days passed and John's physical wounds began to heal, he knew deep down that he had reached a turning point. He was soon discharged from the hospital, and a discharge plan was drawn up for him, with weekly visits from a physiotherapist to help with his recovery. However, he remained confined to his wheelchair, unable to move without the help of his wife Sarah. It was a sunny day, and he was home alone when he heard a knock on the door. It was his personal assistant Ted. Ted had been working closely with John since Anthony, his wife's father, handed over their small business to him, which had grown massively over time to compete with some of the larger companies in the city. John looked at Ted, "You don't look like you've got any good news for me yet!" Ted looked very sad and unsure of how to communicate with his boss. He handed him a letter, which John glanced through and realized that his father-in-law had replaced him with his dista

Chapter Three; Things Heat Up John started a virtual business helping people solve their business problems, recovering hacked funds, and soon his business was growing. He kept this new business away from his wife Sarah and daughter Emily. He wanted to surprise them, but his PA, Ted, was secretly working for him. His business, Jays Tech, became the talk of the town, and companies were calling to ask for a partnership. His father-in-law Anthony called a meeting about a challenge in the business, and the whole family was summoned. John was wheeled into the meeting room by his wife, his heart pounding with anticipation. Anthony, his father-in-law, sat at the head of the table with a stern expression on his face. Sarah, John's wife, stood beside him, her eyes filled with worry. Joy, her step-sister, and Alex, her fiancé, smiled in the corner, their presence a ticking time bomb. "John, we need to discuss your... condition," Anthony began, his voice dripping with contempt

Chapter Four; The Hidden Talent Ted’s voice was laced with worry. “Boss, we have a problem. Our website has been down for the past 24 hours, and we’re losing customers by the minute.” John’s expression turned serious. “What’s going on, Ted? We can’t afford to lose any more business.” Ted shook his head. “I don’t know, boss. Our team has been working on it, but so far, all to no avail. We’re trying to troubleshoot the issue, but it’s like nothing we’ve seen before.” John nodded. “Let’s get to work, Ted. We can’t let our customers down.” Together, John and Ted worked tirelessly to resolve the issue. They poured over lines of code, tested servers, and consulted with experts. Finally, after hours of work, the website flickered back to life. They screamed in excitement and felt a sense of relieve. Suddenly his phone beeped, incoming call from Rachel his physiotherapist. He picked up. Hi John, this is to remind you of your evening session for today. Oh yes, I have t
