The Billionaire Impotent son-in-law

Two

Chapter two 

The meeting ended and everyone started taking their leave one after the other, Mr Augustus had his eyes on Gracie all along.

She’s a beautiful lady with a great body and he wonders why she would end up with a poor man like Ethan.

“Don’t you think this contract should be discussed even more privately between us?” Mr Augustus asks Gracie,taking his lips in cockily.

Gracie is packing her things ready to leave too when he said that to her while Ethan is still attending to him. He seems to be making him do that intentionally just so he could humiliate him the more.

“What do you mean by that sir?” Gracie asks with a perplexed look, She really doesn't know the level of the man’s shame anymore.

“You know what I’m saying Gracie, Don’t act naive” Mr Augustus replied with a mischievous smile while Ethan swallowed his dry throat.

He must have thought so low of him to even discuss this right in his presence, there’s no dignity left in him and he wants to piss Ethan off more.

“If the company needed an investor that badly they can do that without her help” Ethan steps in seeing how bold Mr Augustus is even in his presence.

“Ethan, stop it! Don’t even add more salt to the wound” Gracie cuts Ethan off, she’s really hurt as it is already and he would only add to it when trying to step in.

He should just be quiet! 

How could he even be talking about such a thing in her husband's present? Gracie thought and concluded that Mr Augustus never really considered him as a man.

“You see why you have never become nothing but a waiter is because your way of thinking is too lame, You think she would climb up to the top if she’s thoughtless like you?” 

Mr Augustus laughed and reached out to touch Gracie who stepped back from him and headed for the door, staying there longer wouldn't do her any good.

Mr Augustus' men stepped forward stopping her from leaving, “You must have thought you can come and go the way you like right? It’s me you’re dealing with Gracie” He laughed and faced Ethan.

“Take a look at yourself, I wonder how useless you would have looked without your uniform on, the attire suits you perfectly but have you thought about it?,

“How much it is for her to even stand and say,”Yes he’s my husband”. It’s like swallowing a poison and pouring yourself dirt in public” He says to Ethan who bash his lashes.

Ethan felt a sharp pain in his heart with his words, he isn’t wrong about that is he? If the man didn’t know him that much Gracie would have denied him obviously.

“How about you let her leave and deal with me?” Ethan asks Mr Augustus.

“Why? You’re worthless to me and have no usefulness to me but she does, how much do you even earn monthly? I’m sure even this wine is worth more of it” Mr Augustus picked up the wine bottle Ethan was serving him from.

“Look at you and look at her, what gives you the impression that you could be her man?” He laughed and walked towards Gracie sneakily.

Ethan tried to keep his cool, holding his fist tightly, he blinked his tears away but it all bursted out when Mr Augustus laid his hand on Gracie.

Ethan throws his hand off Gracie and punches his mouth instantly, he has had it all and he can’t keep his cool anymore, he feels like ripping his mouth off his face.

The same mouth that knows nothing other than to speak ill of people below him, it’s not his fault he’s poor! 

Mr Augustus looked at Ethan unbelievably, “How dare you lay that useless hand on my face? Do you know what you have done!?” Mr Augustus yelled and his man stepped closer ready to pounce on Ethan.

Ethan looked at them all and signs, he knows that he already lost his job as a waiter for punching him.

One of Mr Augustus’s men sneakily takes one of the wine bottles and smashes it on Ethan's head, he falls on his knees with his head bleeding.

He looked at them one after the order and used the napkin on the table to wipe the blood from his face. He stood on his feet and started fighting with his men.

They started beating him even with his wound injuries but he didn’t want to back down.

Mr Augustus went to take his seat and watched from there, “I want him beaten till he goes down on his knee and pleads for forgiveness!” He ordered his men to get started with him at once.

Gracie panicked and rushed to Mr Augustus, she fell on her knees and started pleading with him.

“Please don’t let them hurt him” She starts begging him.

“Hurt him?” He laughed, “That worthless thing dare punch me?” Mr Augustus said furiously and annoyed, checking his wounded mouth.

“Please forgive him and tell them to stop it”Gracie continued pleading with him.

“They should stop beating him till he asks for forgiveness and you will lose the contract? Which do you prefer?” Mr Augustus asks her with a silly smile.

“I don’t think all this should concern you Gracie," He said using the tip of his finger to raise her jaw up.

“Are you sure you won't scorch my back for the contract?” He smirks.

Gracie really did not know what to say with that and was torn between the two.

Ethan started beating the men off him even with his wounds, he’s not determined to give up and he won’t!

He threw the last man across the room, surprising Mr Augustus, “How could he?” He swallows hard.

His fighting skills shock everyone in the room and Elsa, who has been quiet without uttering a word but seems to be in support of Mr Augustus, starts panicking.

Gracie watches as Mr Augustus starts calling more of his men while Ethan beats them one after the order.

Gracie regretted all this and she should have stopped it. 

Mr Augustus looked at Gracie and shook his head, “Just know that I will see to it myself that your company crawls to the floor” Mr Augustus said coldly.
