The Deceitful Son-in-law Chapter 20
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

Ken searched his head for the right words to begin this conversation. He was scared beyond every hint of doubt. What would his young master say, how will he take the news o his carelessness? But he had to spill it out. Sooner or later, his young master will find out and it was better to say it now and find the solution than keep it to himself until things were beyond repair. "Why are you mute," Richard inquired. "You gave me a phone call." "I did? I meant I did young master," Ken stammered. "I want to speak with you about something very important." "I am listening Ken," Richard said. "Well young master, there is..." Ken stammered again. "Ken, what is going on? You aren't yourself today, is anything wrong?" Richard inquired. "Nothing, just a little headache," Ken replied. "Okay, I think we should have this conversation tomorrow, please take care of yourself." "No young master, please don't hang up." "What is it Ken, this is certainly not a headache, what's going on,"

Meanwhile, Lawrence stopped his car beside a bush path and headed for the beemer University executive hostel. He intended to drop a few things for his sister and cars were not allowed into the hostel for security purposes so he had to go on foot. Unlike Williams and Joshua he was from a poor background, an orphan precisely. He was able to secure a scholarship to study at the most prestigious college in the city. It was in college that he met Joshua and Williams. After college, he got a job and he was reunited with his college friends. That was the past now. He was well to do but he would not squander his money like the rest of his friends, rather, he would give it out to the less privileged and go hungry. As he returned from the executive hostel, he felt another presence around him. It was a tall with lean fat. There was nothing particularly strange about him but he had seen him somewhere earlier. "Where and when precisely," he thought. Richard searched his head for any poss

When Henry saw that his extended hand was not accepted he returned it to its initial position. "I can see you are not in the mood for formalities," Henry said. "Who are you and what do you want from me? I know Williams sent you! So don't you just blow up my head and leave me alone. Why are you antagonizing me." "Well, we could strike a deal," Henry said. "I am not striking any deal with those evil men. Not with you, neither With Williams nor Joshua." "Start the car," Henry ordered, we are going somewhere. "I won't start any car. Why don't you just kill me. I know your type. After getting what you need from your captures, you breach the dictates of the deal." Henry sighed. "This gonna be harder than I thought. But I want to make this clear, I am not making any deal in your favor. Besides, failure to comply will also put Laura at potential risk," Henry threatened. A cold shiver ran down Lawrence spine and he shivered absently. Henry noticed and smiled. He had touched Lawr

Richard opened the door of the dining table clumsily. He decided not to say anything about the bicycle. He will wait for David to bring it up. If he did, it meant it was all a setup. "He is back," Rachael hissed. "Here is the snacks grandma," Richard said ignoring Rachael's comment. Lady Tashia stared at Richard before uttering a word. She expected Richard to come back stranded, begging for the money to buy the snack. But here he was with enough snack, smiling sheepishly at her. "He must have stolen the money," Lady Tashia thought. Cause there was no way he could have gotten that money from another source. "Where did you get that from," Lady Tashia inquired. "I don't get you," Richard replied. "He stole it obviously," David said. "From you right?" Richard replied crossly. "You won't even dare. That would be the end of your miserable life." "Do you really think so?" "Enough! All of you," Lady Tashia yelled. "Tell him to watch his tongue or he won't have them to us

"It's either he pays me back the money I wasted to purchase it; which I know he will never be able to or he will work for me as a servant for a month," David announced. "So which of these options are you choosing," Lady Tashia inquired. "But it is obvious that you will pick the second since you will never be able to refund the money. So, you will follow David home immediately after the meeting and start your work there." "How much did you purchase the bicycle," Richard inquired. "Will you ever be able to pay back even If I split the amount into two?" David laughed. "That isn't the question I asked you," Richard returned. "If I state the amount and you are not able to refund the money, your stay in my house will be extended by a month." "Are you going to spill it out or not," Richard returned irritated. "Okay if you can pay half of it, we will forget about the punishment since it was a gift which I know you can't. Let's just say it's five thousand dollars." "Just five th

When the family meeting was over, Rachael stayed behind. She decided to stay with Victoria for the night since Ken was not around and Victoria didn't object. "Hey sis, your husband is so funny and disgraceful. He doesn't even have a hint of shame in him," Rachael was saying but Victoria wasn't listening, she was on her phone. "Sis are you hearing what am saying," Rachael inquired but there was still no answer. Angrily Rachael tapped Victoria on her leg. "What is wrong with you," she yelled didn't you hear me talking to you? Or are you taking sides with that bitch you call a husband? Oh! Now I get it. You pretend to hate him when you are before everyone but indoors, you still love him." "I give my heart to whoever I dime fit, it is out of your business. At least I don't frame others for what they know nothing about. Making them go through what they know nothing about. That is more disgraceful than being poor and wretched," Victoria returned angrily. "I have never framed anyone

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.

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.

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
