The Deceitful Son-in-law Chapter 25
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

Two weeks later. Victoria returned from a date with Williams. She looked exhausted and depressed. The date had gone all wrong. She had informed Williams that she was married, she had to. And William got angry saying he could not marry an already married woman. She tried to convince him that it was only a contract marriage but he would not listen. A tear drops down from her eyes. What would the family say after all the hope they placed on this marriage? She would return to be the loveless granddaughter and David and Charles would become grandma's favorite again. Then, a thought struck her. Was she doing this for herself, to get rid of Richard or she was placing the selfish needs of the family above hers? Either way, the family made her what she is today and she was always answerable to them. Meanwhile, Richard sat in the visiting room of the Villa with Joshua beside him. He held a glass of acholic slovi wine with his left hand and placed the other hand on the table."No, she can't

It was Saturday morning, Victoria sat on the Sofa while Richard went around the house chores, humming his favourite high Life song as usual in such a way that irritated Victoria. "Will you please keep quiet," Victoria yelled at him. Immediately, Richard hmming died down. Then, the doorbell rang. "Richard please check who is at the door," Victoria yelled. "Okay," Richard replied. He left the dishes he was washing and opened the door. Richard opened the door and his lips parted into a warm smile as his eyes met with Else's. She was one of the handfuls of people that still talked to him like a human being. "Good morning Elsa," Richard greeted. "Good morning Richard, how are you doing today?" "I am doing great," Richard replied. "Richard, who is there," Victoria screamed. "It's your friend, Elsa," Richard. Elsa walked over to Victoria and the two friends ended in a warm embrace. "Such a lovely visit at the best time, great to see you. And you look amazing," Victoria

Finally, Williams Armstrong and Victoria Weldom got engaged and their wedding ceremony was fixed two weeks after the engagement. The Weldoms wanted the wedding to be done as soon as possible, and surprisingly, Williams did not object. Eventually, the news of the wedding was officially released to the public. Though the public raised some questions about Victoria's hidden husband, the Weldoms, coupled with Williams's influence were able to deceive the public into believing that the marriage of Richard and Victoria was actually a contract marriage. To celebrate this great achievement, Lady Tashia organized a family get-together at Twin-city hotel, a five-star hotel, and fortunately, Williams also organized a party at the Armstrong Villa for all his friends, and any other person Victoria wished to invite. On the other hand, while Williams and the Weldoms got ready for their celebration, Richard lay in his new room dressed in dark jeans and a black jacket. He got a pen from his breast

"What do you mean by half of the family wealth? Do you know what that means? We will be nowhere to be found on the wealthy family's ranking," Lady Tashia fired. "Gaining William respect is the greatest asset you guys need right now. That is what will make him do the favour you ask him to. Besides, you will have to lose something to gain something. Consider this as your capital set aside for the creation of more wealth. Life itself is a risk." Victoria stared blankly as Richard explained his ideas like a scholar who had the capability of moving his audience to a standing ovation. Now, Victoria felt she was hiding something, he couldn't be a school drop-off. No uneducated person explains something in this manner. And not even all educated persons could. He had received some sort of higher level education which he was not telling her about, she must find out. Her mind went back to the paper in the room, he was trying to hide. She would send him on an errand and search his room for a c

The next morning Richard stood in his cave getting dressed up from the party. He seemed to be in a good mood as a smile hovered on his face. As he continued dressing, Victoria stormed into the kitchen with are usual you are the course of my problems kind of problems. She was dressed up in a flowing white gown with floating gold designs on both sides. For short, apart from her gloomy mode, she looked like a goddess. While Richard wore a multi-colored business suit that Victoria got for him. Fortunately, it fitted into him perfectly. "You won't be coming with me anymore," Victoria revealed. "What did you say?" Richard inquired faking ignorance. "I said you will not be coming with me," Victoria fired. "Grandma called this morning. Though I could grasp all she was trying to say. What you need to know right now is that we are informing William that you are sick while you will remain at home. "Oh too bad. I always wanted to go to the Villa. Anyway, I will finish up with the house ch

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. He continued to think and finally

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.

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
