The Deceitful Son-in-law Chapter 14
Lawrence journeyed to the restroom. His heart was heavy with grief as he walked like a man stripped of his life. He did not feel like using the restroom, he just wanted to get away from Williams and Lawrence. He knew they were evil. If he continued with them, he will not be able to keep his little secret for long. A secret that gave him sleepless nights like the ghost of an old lady. He did not have a stony heart to contain whatever was boiling inside him. Slowly, he brought out his iPhone 11 pro max from his back pocket with his hands visibly shaking. He got into his phone files and played a video. "Finally you will soon join your ancestors and I will become the heir of the company," a voice streamed from the video. It was Williams's voice. It was a video of how Williams poisoned Davis Armstrong's meal when no when was watching. Unknown to him, Lawrence was watching through the back door. He had overheard Williams and Joshua discussing about it. There was nothing he could d

"We have to talk," Joshua said to Williams almost in a whisper. "What do you mean we need to talk? What are we doing now, crying?" Williams returned. "It's something you won't want a soul to hear about. Or I could just spill it out here if you so wish." "I thought we have crossed that bridge already," Williams said crossly. "Not that, it is something else. Something that is eating me up." "Okay. But where do you suggest we go to." "The restroom," Joshua replied. That will offer us a little more privacy. "As you wish. I am right behind you." Joshua went to the restroom first, then Williams followed, a few minutes later. It was to avoid any suspension. "I am here," Williams announced when he got to the restroom. "Cool," Joshua returned. "What is it that is eating you up?" Williams inquired. "You might see this as irrelevant but to me, it's very important. We must take precautions so no one will find out about our little secret." "What precautions?" "It is abou

Back to the Weldoms business meeting. "That would be enough now," Lady Tashia announced trying hard to suppress her laughter. "Well mum, he is the most stupid thing I have ever met in the world," Mrs. Lucis announced. "But Richard," Lady Tashia continued. "What gave you the guts to say what you just said. Are you okay?" "Grandma, I have the right to say whatever I want. Victoria is my wife, we are legally married." "And we want to legally dissolve that mistake you call a marriage," Lady Tashia said. "That can't happen. I will go to Williams Armstrong. And inform him that Victoria is legally married and her family is only looking forward to increasing their ranking through this so called married," Richard threatened. "You won't dare," David thundered. "How dare you. Do you always want to be an element of shame to this family? You are so wicked." As they rained insults on Richard, Mrs. Lucis and Lady Tashia whispered a few words amongst themselves and Lady Tashia nodded in af

"Wait," Victoria yelled. Everyone's attention turned to her, including Richard's. "What is wrong with her," he thought. "What is it again," Lady Tashia inquired. "It's noting grandma, I only wanted to say something." "What's that dear," Lady Tashia said with a smile. "I am sorry grandma, I was just over-excited over the turnout of events. Soon this family would be uplifted." "And this junk called Richard will be gone," David added. Richard tightened his fist to control his rising anger. The Weldom family now disgusted him. He felt like bombing the whole place. "Can I go on with my meal now, Vicky," Lady Tashia said. After a year, Lady Tashia called Victoria by the nickname she gave her at birth. Victoria smiled. She was not going to say anything, at least not now. She was beginning to enjoy her past fame which her marriage to Richard stripped her off. "Lady Tashia took the fork filled with rice which Victoria made her drop. Immediately it got into her mouth, she screamed i

"We are coming uncle David," the two children responded. Slowly, the two young children dragged a little bicycle to the dining hall. Richard recognized the boy immediately, it was the same boy Mrs. Lucis Made him apologize to on his knees during the last business meeting. He gnashed his teeth in irritation. He felt like strangling the young boy to death as he recalled what he was made to go through because of the young boy. "Thank you," David appreciated as the children dropped the bicycle before him. "Grandma, uncle David bought a bicycle for me and Angela," Dennis announced. "So thoughtful of you David," Mrs. Lucis commended. "Yes Mrs. Lucis, he is so kind. At least he has the money to show his kindness unlike aunt Victoria's junk of a husband." "Yeah Mrs. Lucis," Angela added. "When I become the first female president of this country, I will outlaw inter-class marriage." "Oh! Lady Tashia and Mrs. Lucis laughed. "What is this for anyway," Lady Tashia inquired. "It'

Richard stepped out into the paved street of Bee City. He recounted the humiliation he had received from the Weldom family but that meant nothing to him. They will all become events of the past when he starts unveiling what he had he stock for them. He wanted to drop the bicycle there but he was afraid it might be stolen. His neck was stiffened and he turned his neck to both sides to stretch it a little. Then his eyes meant with a strange man. A man that made his heart skip not only a beat but a lot of beats. He was most notable for his large size and the long scar on his face. Richard recognized him from somewhere but he could not recall when and where he had met him. "This must be the man Lady Tashia sent to watch if I am carrying out her orders," Richard thought. "He straightened himself on the bicycle and made sure his watcher had a full view of him. But the large man wasn't there for Richard, he was there for someone else. Since the large man was there, it met Lawrence was

When Richard had bought enough snacks to fill the Weldoms, he turned to leave but he was interrupted by two ladies in the restaurant. "Isn't that Son-in-law of the Weldom family," one of the ladies inquired. "Na, I don't think so," the other replied. "Why don't we ask him ourselves." Richard heard them discussing about him and he didn't want to get involved. He was a humiliation to the Weldoms already and exposure to the public would cause further trouble for him. Lady Tashia had successfully fooled the public into believing that Richard was a rich man through their grand wedding and that should end there. As he attempted to leave the restaurant, one of the ladies stoped him. "Hey," she screamed after him. Richard wished she had not shouted. Now everybody would think he was avoiding her if he continued walking. He turned around in a tired manner and shot a withering glance at the lady but she refused to be withered. "Hi," Richard spat out. "Hi," she replied. "Aren't

Richard was able to struggle his way out of the restaurant. When he got outside, he met a shocking sight. The bicycle David bought for him laid on the floor crushed beyond repair. "Oh my God," he exclaimed. "Who did this.' Now he couldn't restrain the tears that had formed in his eyes. What explanation would he give to satisfy David. Even If he could buy David a million of that same bicycle, he knew that would not change anything. David would insist that he wants him bicycle back. Besides, where will he tell them he got to he money from. He was stranded. Though David said it was a gift, Richard knew it was not. "Or David actually got him the bicycle to make fool of him?" Richard thought. "No that can't be true, if it was, what would be his gain for doing it," the stream of his thought continued. But he was not satisfied not his self assumed answer. What about the meal? he knew it was perfect when he prepared it. Or thought it was perfect for until Lady Tashia said took a ta

Lawrence stood there as more large lumps went down his spine like large stones thrown down into a rusty tunnel and cold shivers ran down his spine. He stared into the man before him, staring at him with an evil smile hovering on his face and he felt like tearing that smile away from his dark face. "Just walked into your trap, did you?" Divo said to Lawrence. "I knew that this was the perfect bait to get you," he added to what he had earlier said. "I knew that something was you walked passed us the other day," Lawrence whispered out loud still shaking with great fear and trembling like a little child about to be locked away in a dark scary room. "But how were you able to find out that I had caught you?" Lawrence thought aloud. At this, Divo stepped towards him while he gradually moved backward, and at a point, he stop and shot a glare at Lawrence. "Well let us say I just got to know that you were spying on me from the way you stared at me that day when I walked by that day. I was

Richard shivered hard with fear and cold shivers ran down his spine as the first set of whips created bold lines on his body. The whips felt like a surge of electric current all around him and he shivered hard at their effect. He wanted to scream out due to the pian as little drop of tears escaped from his eyes but he was able to restrain himself. "Don't cry Richard, you have to be strong," he said to himself. "You think you are strong right, we will see how long you will be able to hold on to this," Gerald said with a hateful glare hanging on his face. "Whip," another whip landed on Richard's head making him groan in pain. "Hmmm," Richard groaned in pain."Such a harden fool," Mrs. Luci gasped angrily. "Why don't you just do what you are asked to and cut shot your pain?" Rachael gasped irritated by his self-acclaimed endurance. "I can no longer take this," Richard said to himself. Richard lifted his head and his eyes met with Victoria's. She didn't even show the slightest

"It is a great suggestion but we cannot deny the fact that I am married to someone," Victoria returned almost immediately. Mrs. Luci turned towards Victoria the very instant she heard what her daughter just threw out of her mouth and she shot a glare at her. "Do you even enjoy living with that slut?" Mrs. Luci inquired trying hard to control a total outburst since Victoria was the center of attraction there. Victoria sighed inwardly, she might sometimes act like she hated Richard passionately but it was still worth it seeing him around. The fact was just that most of the time, her disgust for him and hatred always overshadowed her soft heart toward him. "Did you even hear what I just said?" Mrs. Luci inquired snapping her off her thoughts. "It's not that mum. You don't seem to get the point that I am trying to make here. The problem is not with me, it's with Richard," Victoria replied quickly. "How? Does he have a say in a matter like this?" Mrs. Luci inquired. "He doesn't b

On that fateful Saturday morning, the morning that was going to decide Richard's and Victoria's finally state as it concerned their martial life, Victoria sat on the sofa in the living room, chatting with a friend on her phone and gradally sipping freshly squeezed orange juice. Meanwhile, Richard went about the daily business in the house. His hands, his feet and every part of his body ached bad but he just couldn't stop. Then, the doorbell rang twice and Victoria Rose from the sofa to scream Richard's name. "Richard..." She yelled at the top of her voice. Immediately Richard heard her name, she came running up to her like a little child to his wicked step aunty. When he got to her, his racing face was covered with sweat and he could hardly breathe. "You called me," he said in between trying hard to catch his breath. "I know I called you dummy," Victoria thundered. "Didn't you hear that someone rang the doorbell?" She growled at him. "Oh! I was busy inside," Richard noted and

Kindsley pulled his eyes away from the gun on the table laying the far end and returned his gaze to Lawrence. He might have informed somebody that he was going to find out about this ID. He knew that Lawrence was never the perfect person for an investigation team, so he might be working alongside with somebody who might smell something fishy immediatelys he gets missing."There is nothing wrong with card," Kinsley said quickly and returned the card back to Lawrence. "Are you sure?" Lawrence inquired with his eyes narrowed. He could not believe that the card was geniue, it was just too good to be true. "I think you did inspect it enough," Lawrence added. "Nah, I did all that inspection. The card is very much genuine," Kinsley revealed. "But..." Lawrence tried to oppose but Kinsley stopped him immediately. "I know why you are suspicious. It's the unque background of the card which is owned by a very high standing company," Kingsley revealed. "But I must say that you had a very

Lawrence stared at them with his heart divided against itself. His was left in such a dilemma that he shivered hard and his hearte ran cold. "What should I do now, Should I tell them or not?" multiple thoughts sprang up from his head. He drew a deep breath and decided not to inform them about it . He was going to get enough proof to make them believe that the ID card was perfectly forged. Lawrence slipped the ID card into his pockets as silently as he could and continued to stare at them as if nothing had happened at all. "I think we will have to go now and continue with our investigations," Ken announced. "Thanks for your massive help and cooperation," he appreciated warmly."You are welcome, anything for my boss's friends," she replied with a warm smile hanging on her face. Ken and Lawrence turned to leave immediately while Lawrence's heart continued to pound against his chest. "How am I going to prove my point to this dummy," he thought.

Tina continued to stare at him, her heart torn apart against itself. But she certainly could not go against the instructions of her boss, she would have to seek his consent first. "I will have to arrange a meeting with you and the manager, if he decides otherwise, I will have no say, but if accepts your proposal, I will send the proposed date to you," Evelyn explained. "We are very sorry for the inconveniences this might cause you," Evelyn regretted all she just said. Divo grinned at her with his anger stepping up gradually to his neck. He could not believe that this stupid company wanted him to return there. "Who does this fool thinks he is? Whoever this proud slut is, he is certainly worth eliminating and I will do it with great pleasure in my heart," he thought angrily. "What do you mean by all this you are saying," he thundered at Evelyn. "It's our company's policy, you can't see the manager until he requests to see you," Evelyn tried to calm him down but he refused to be

Meanwhile, at the Armstrong headquarters, something else was happening. Divo walked towards the large gate of the headquarters to continue with his assassination mission. A smile hovered on his face as he thought about the cruel death he was going to give to Richmond. "That's why I am the beast of the underworld," he laughed loudly. When he eventually got to the large gate, the security officer posted there stopped him almost immediately. immediately. "Hey," the security officer stopped him as he attempted to walk by without check. Divo turned around slowly and shot a grin at the security officer. "Hey," he returned. "What's is your mission here?" he inquired. "My mission? If you care to know, it is to get your boss and rip his head off frot his neck with my bare hands. After which I would take his rottening scule to my employers," Divo thought with a deadly smile on his face.

Meanwhile, Mrs. Luci's phone beeped silently at the side of her bed. Immediately she saw the name of the caller, her heart skipped a beat. It was the agent in charge of their goods ordered from outside the country. She just couldn't wait to hear that the goods had landed safely. "Good day mam," the agent greeted. "Good day to you too," Lady Tashia replied. "So how did it go?" She inquired. "Hmmm," the agent lingered a little before answering her question. Mrs. Luci's left hand shook violently as he waited for a response from the goods agent... "Nothing can go wrong," she said to herself as she continued to shiver. "T..the go..ods were seized by the custom service ma," the agent finally let out. "What!!!" Mrs. Victoria exclaimed. She rose forcefully out of her bed almost immediately. Her raging feets hit the hard surface as she moved up and down the room in a distressed manner. "What do you mean by that? For a job I paid you?" She fired. "Mam I tried my best, I swear," h
