The Chilled Revenge Of A Son-in-law

His Stolen Money.

His mind went blank for a brief moment before rage filled his whole being and without thinking twice about the thoughts he had in mind, Ryu walked towards them in haste, and from behind he came to stand before them, interrupting their cheating moment.

"How dare you?!" Ryu yelled and immediately grabbed Richard, his friend by the collar and lifted him from the bench where he sat intimately beside Belle.

"Ryu? What are you doing? Have you gone mad? Let him go!" Belle yelled at Ryu in shock and quickly grabbed his arms, trying to yank him away from Richard.

Finally letting go of Richard, Ryu glared hard at his friend, not imagining he could betray him in such a way.

"How could you?" Ryu asked in whispers but got silence as a response, all Richard did was smile smugly at Ryu, not seeming remorseful and this angered Ryu even more.

However, Ryu let out a low breath, trying to calm himself down as he had a bigger fish to fry. He looked away from Richard and turned to face Belle who was clinging onto Richard worriedly.

With his deep gaze shooting daggers at her, he grabbed Belle by her arms and demanded, "Where is my money?" Ryu asked as he dragged her out of Richard's arms.

"What money are you talking about you idiot, let me go!" Belle responded while trying to get out of Ryu's tight hold all to no avail.

"Liar! You took money out of my bank account without telling me. Where is my money?" He asked, his eyes bloodshot as he glared at Belle whose face was etched with guilt.

However, the little guilt Belle felt soon vanished like they never existed and she gave Ryu a sharp look, "So what? What if I took your money?" She asked disgust marred heavily on her face as she looked away.

"Well, I want my money back and now!" Said Ryu, he could already feel his body shaking from all the pent-up anger, he was trying so hard to stop himself from doing anything crazy.

As he stared at Belle's side profile, her short brown hair shiny from the sun's reflection, he couldn't believe she could go this far. He very much understood her hatred for him but she was doing way too much by stealing his money and cheating on him with his very close friend.

Well, ex-friend because there was no way he would forgive Richard for such betrayal.

"I don't have the money, it's gone. Now stop this madness of yours and get out!" Belle yelled as she pointed in the direction that led out of the garden.

Her words took Ryu by surprise, he was so taken aback by how indifferent she suddenly was towards him that he forgot how to speak for a brief moment. "What?" He whispered with a frown full of disbelief and confusion.

"You heard her, leave and stop causing a scene. You've interrupted our moment over some penny," Richard said as he came to stand beside Belle and grabbed her by her waist with a nonchalant look.

"Penny?" Ryu questioned facing Richard, "You call three hundred thousand some penny? I need that money urgently for my mother's treatment, do you understand?" Ryu roared, clenching his fists tightly as he tried to hold back his anger.

"Three hundred thousand? That's it? I thought you was yapping about millions man," Richard commented with a chuckle full of mockery which Ryu didn't take lightly.

Ryu felt as if they were all taking him for a joke and right after Richard's words, Ryu quickly launched at him, with his hands in a fists, he lifted them above his head and they landed heavily on Richard's jaws, making him stumble to the ground.

Belle yelped at the sight of Ryu attacking Richard with her eyes wide open from shock.

"Ryu! That's enough!" Someone yelled from the garden's entrance which was the kitchen's backdoor, this caught Ryu's attention. He was prepared to launch at Richard for more punches but stopped midway to stare at Dave who walked in on them.

"What is this nonsense?" Dave asked, he stared at his sister, Belle, and back at Ryu, looking for answers.

"It's Ryu, he just barged in demanding for the money I took from his bank account to pay up Dad's debt," Belle explained, immediately putting all the blame on Ryu but this didn't surprise Ryu much.

What shook him was Belle's words, she had taken all of his life savings to pay off their father's debt.

"You did what?" Ryu questioned, disbelief written on his face, he was filled with so much anger that his face turned red and his eyes watery and he wouldn't stop gritting his teeth. These people were testing him.

"So what? Don't tell me you are acting all up over that little money. If it's so important to you then go get a better job and make better money, stop being childish," Dave spat, irritated by Ryu.

Ryu was after all a live-in son-in-law, he worked at their father's wood-cutting business and lived rent-free in their house, he never provided whatsoever yet he had the nerve to complain over some penny.

Facing Dave, Ryu breathed as he tried to calm himself down, "My mother needs urgent money for her treatment, you need to return my money," he said with finality, not wanting to hear anything else except his money.

"You leech, shouldn't you be grateful? We sheltered you and fed a loser like you, gave you a job and you even married my sister even when you aren't worthy of her, how dare you demand for your money?" Dave said and one could feel the spite in his voice and words.

It was clear Dave despised Ryu, he wished his sister had not married such a useless person.

If this was in the past, Ryu would have felt ashamed but he felt no single ounce of shame at the moment, getting his money back was important to him.

"You aren't better than me either, you work for your father in his wood-cutting business, you are being sheltered and fed here so we are the same..." Ryu retorted back but was quickly shut by Dave who threw a hard punch at him, causing him to stagger to the ground with blood on his lips.

"You really have gotten some nerves," Said Dave, clearly offended by Ryu's words. He took a few steps closer to Ryu and gave him two resounding slaps with the sharp sound filling the place and taking everyone by surprise, including Ryu who never expected the sudden slap.

Not entirely satisfied, Dave grabbed Ryu by the collar and dragged him out of the house, he pushed Ryu out the gate and shut it with a loud bang, and left without saying a word or looking back.
