Chapter 63 Rose shook her head heavily at her Grandmother's suggestion. “No, Grandma. I won't do that.” “That what?” “I want to abort the baby.” “What? Abort? That'll never happen.” Grandma Isabella stood up immediately from the bed where she had sat. Her face filled with frustration and anger as she looked at Rose. “You're not going to do that.” She declared, mean of every word that proceeded from her mouth. Grandma Isabella then managed to cool down her temperature and took back her position on the bed. She held Rose's hands softly as she began to speak, her voice was filled with emotions. “Rose?” Grandma Isabella began emotionally and Rose kept silent, allowing her to finish her words. “Do you know what you're trying to do to yourself just because of the hatred you have toward Michael? You want to abort the child in you?” She rhetorically asked. “Come to think of it, if I had aborted mine many years ago thereby terminating my son, Stephen, your father. Would you h
Chapter 64Bang! Bang! It was the loud sound that came from the living room, and everyone halted, looking at each other, surprised. “What's happening at the party?” Rose asked rhetorically and immediately trailed down the stairs and the rest immediately followed behind her with racing heartbeats.Meanwhile, in the living room, the music had abruptly stopped after Stephen flung one of the bottles of wine to the floor.Everywhere was silent and everyone remained speechless at the sudden display of anger.The woman who had confirmed that the wines were actually genuine and not fake ones, shook her head. Her face wore with pity as she mumbled to herself. “He's going to regret doing this. He damaged the bottle even after I told him they were the original ones. He really needs to control his anger.” She said, shaking her head as she watched Stephen grab the second bottle.“I won't risk my mother's life with these fake wines.” Stephen's thunderous voice was heard in the living room, not m
CHAPTER 1 It was 5 am inside the bedroom. A man in his mid-twenties was seen lying on a mat on the floor beside an elevated bed. His name was Michael Robinson and he was the live-son-in-law of the Stephen family. On top of the elevated bed was his wife, Rose Michael. She had long brown hair and cold green eyes. Also, her appearance was amazingly beautiful like that of an angel which made Michael count himself a lucky man on earth to have gotten married to her. However, Michael and Rose had never slept together as a couple even though they were legally married because Rose disliked him due to his poor status. Just then, Rose rolled herself on the bed, facing the direction where Michael was lying. As she opened her eyes, her eyes suddenly glanced down on her worthless husband lying on the cold-tiled floor, snoring that got her provoked.“I don't just know why this thing won't let me sleep in peace in my own house again. All he does is snore, snore and snore.” She muttered to herself
Chapter 2 As Michael got to the kitchen, he took a deep breath with the hope of getting everything done thereby fulfilling his wife's wish. He quickly dipped his hand into his pocket, bringing out his cheap Android phone which had several broken glasses and was half blind. The phone was so bad that he struggled to type, ‘step-by-step tutorials on how to prepare Black Pudding' on YouTube. After several minutes of struggling, he was able to type it and multiple results came out and he selected one of them and began to watch. “What a nonsense day for me. I can't even see anything on the screen. I'm not seeing a single thing.” Michael mumbled as he struggled to watch the video but couldn't see a single thing. Not seeing anything that was on screen got him so annoyed that he angrily switched it off. And with an annoying sigh, he pocketed it and sat in the air. “I can't even afford a good phone. How then am I going to make my darling Rose the meal she demanded?” He sighed and got u
Chapter 3 “Why? Rose, isn't he your husband? Why can't he dine with us?” Isabella queried, looking disappointed. “He's not my husband and can never be until he's capable of doing what other men are doing for their wives and family.” Rose retorted with a sharp tone. “Period!” Everyone supported, which made Michael bow his head in shame as he stood speechless. Not wanting to prolong the conversation which seemed unfavorable to her, Isabella sighed deeply and quietly opened her bowl to eat. The rest of the family also opened theirs. While Michael turned to go back to the kitchen. Just as he moved, Rose's angry voice caused him to halt in his steps again as he turned. “What the hell is this? Why Ma Po Tofu? Why did you prepare it? Didn't I tell you to prepare Black Pudding?” She angrily slammed her hand on the table, standing on her feet. “Yes, you did. But I don't know how to prepare Black Pudding.” Michael admitted calmly, walking closer and standing beside his father-in-law.
Chapter 4 “Rose, you know that I don't have money for now but I assure you that I'll fix everything right soon.” He said, concentrating on his driving. “Then dare not ask me a single thing about my family life ever again when you're not capable of helping.” Rose shunned and remained silent. Michael noticed how angry she looked so he also kept silent and gently drove not wanting to cause any more ire. “Why is my life so miserable like this? I can't even help when they need me the most. Dear God, please help me.” He muttered to himself as he drove. After driving for half an hour, the car abruptly stopped in front of an open building painted white and red. It was the small company that Rose had inherited from her parents as a result of their trust in her. Most of the staff were already carrying out some necessary work and they were all on black and white shirts as it was mandatory for all of them. Most of them who noticed their presence didn't fail to murmur as they saw Michael
Chapter 5 Michael drove on the street and finally stopped beside the roadside, parked the car, and sat under a giant tree that gave him a shield from the hotness of the sun. Onlookers didn't fail to throw at him mocking words. However, he ignored them and was left alone to his thoughts. Who didn't know him as the popular broke man in the whole town of Maple? He slumped down onto the ground, having his head buried between his legs as he sobbed. “I am such a useless man. I can't even provide for my wife and in-laws. Soon, we'll be kicked out of the house and I don't even know what to do.” His heart sank deeply as tears welled down from his eyes. “Father-in-law was right. I'm just living off their earnings instead of providing. What a worthless man I am.” He couldn't hold back his tears. Immediately, he wiped off his tears and raised his eyebrows, he spotted a car driving towards where he was and he quickly wiped off his tears and stood on his feet as he watched the car appr
Chapter 6 John took Michael around the entire building and after everything was concluded, soon Michael signed all the crucial documents making him the new CEO. He was filled with joy because his Uncle whom he had once looked down on was the same person making him move from a nobody to somebody. “Thank you, Uncle, I'll have to go back home now. I know they might have been waiting for me.” “Alright, but don't forget to resume your office tomorrow.” Michael nodded and left and headed for home. “Rose, how is everything going? What are your plans to settle the loans we borrowed? You know we can't afford to lose everything because we have nowhere to go.” Stephen and Maria were curious to ask as soon as Rose returned. “Mom, I don't know what to do right now. I received a letter from Yonggi Cho's family today back in my office and they're threatening to throw us out of the house and even take our properties including the company if we fail to refund their money.” “We're in a
