The Chilled Revenge Of A Son-in-law

Richard's Offer.

Ryu would never believed a day like this would ever come, if he had been told in the past, he would have laughed it off. Ten months of being married to Belle has been hell for him, she never treated him with respect and he tolerated that because deep down he felt she didn't deserve a loser like him.

However, today's incident wasn't something he could take lightly. Belle had stolen his life savings to pay up her father's debt without letting him know and still cheated on him, she showed no signs of remorse and only tried to justify her actions, and instead of an apology and maybe his money back, they insulted him and threw him out.

This was too much and there was no way Ryu would forgive such wickedness.

He signed as he stared down at himself, feeling angry and not knowing what to do. He needed money urgently for his mother's treatment and the little he had was taken away and there was no way of getting it back.

Ryu cursed as he felt a great sense of urgency when he realized getting the money would be difficult. The thought of his mother lying at the hospital needing urgent treatment with no money scared him.

He needed to get the money as soon as possible, but how? With no good job, no investment, no savings, and nobody to run to, it was nearly as impossible as finding a pin in a hip of hay.

No matter how impossible it was, he would figure it out, and standing here doing nothing wouldn't bring him money, Ryu thought to himself and was prepared to leave when he heard the gate open up, he turned around to see who it was, it was Richard Harrison.

The sight of Richard brought back the anger that had left Ryu for a brief moment. He glared at Richard and suddenly had the urge to smack that smug look out of his face.

But Ryu had to remind himself that he had a bigger problem to attend to so, he ignored Richard and proceeded to leave, however,

"Is your broke ass in desperate need of money? I can help," Richard spoke up before Ryu could leave, he stood a few steps behind Ryu, waiting for a response from him.

"I don't need your help," Ryu replied, he had no time to mess around with Richard. After what he had just witnessed today, he no longer saw Richard the same way again.

"To be honest with you, I've never really liked you from the start," Richard said with a pause and his statement caused Ryu to stop in his tracks.

With the current sour situation between them, Richard saw no valid reason to keep hiding the truth from Ryu.

What does he mean? Ryu thought to himself and he wondered if he should be entertaining Richard at all.

"I became really close to you because of Belle. Seeing how a loser like you married her was really baffling and I thought you never deserved her." Richard said with a pause.

Stealing Belle from Ryu had always been his plan from the moment he set his eyes on them. How could a broke loser like Ryu be with such a goddess like Belle, it made no sense to Richard and if anything, Belle deserved to be with someone as capable as he was, not Ryu.

Richard began seducing Belle months ago with his charms and money and it worked, she fell really hard for him. Even when they were hiding their affairs from Ryu, Richard wanted so badly to show it off and rub it all over Ryu's face and now that the situation presented itself, Richard saw no reason to hold back.

"We both know Belle doesn't love you, I don't know how she ended up marrying someone like you but I'm sure she's regretting her decision now. So, I'm going to present you with an offer," Richard continued and paused again, waiting to hear Ryu's response.

However, when he heard nothing from Ryu, he sighed with a low chuckle and continued, "Look man, I may not know or understand what you are going through but I can tell you are in desperate need of money and I'm willing to help, yeah? How much do you need? A million? Two? Name your price," Richard took a step forward to finally hear Ryu speak.

"For what? Why do you want to help me? And what makes you think I'll accept help from a jerk like you?" Ryu grunted a deep frown perched finely on his eyebrows.

"Because I know you need the money. Divorce Belle and never show up before her again, I'll give you a million. That's enough, yeah?" Richard offered. He knew Ryu was full of pride and wouldn't listen but with the money involved, he wouldn't be able to say no.

"You must be sick to think I'll accept that ridiculous offer of yours." Ryu said, "Listen here," he said, pointing, "We are through, there's nothing between us anymore. If you ever see me again in the future, act like we never knew each other, got it?" And with that, Ryu turned around to leave but stopped when he heard Richard's response.

"Think about why you need that money, don't let your foolishness make you lose something so important. Just ping me up whenever you've changed your mind," Richard said and afterward stepped back inside and closed the gate, leaving Ryu standing outside all by himself, thinking about Richard's last words.

He was thinking deeply about Richard's offer to give him the money to save his mother's life and in return divorce Belle, but thinking about his pride as a man, Ryu immediately shook his head and quickly got rid of that thought and left the place.
