The Deceitful Son-in-law

Chapter 6

 " Wake up sleeping head," Richard heard someone screaming.

 It was Victoria and she was looking furious. Immediately Richard noticed that it was already morning and he was filled with awe. He had over slept.

 "I am very sorry Victoria, I will prepare your meal right away," Richard apologized.

 "Right now, do you know what the time is?" Victoria yelled.

 "I am very sorry," Richard apologized again.

 "Will your apology put food on my table? Oh, I know why you did this, cause I made you sleep on the floor in the kitchen right."

 "No, Victoria, I will never do that."

 "You want me to go to work on an empty stomach as a punishment right," Victoria said angrily and attempted to slap Richard but Richard stop hands halfway in the air. He was so emotionally down and he needed some love, not another trouble.

 Richard and Victoria exchanged a meaningful glances as they did when they first meant. Then Richard did the forbidden, he kissed Victoria passionately. At first, Victoria liked it then, she realized what she was actually doing. Immediately, she pulled away from Richard and spat on the floor.

 "How dare you," she said angrily, slapping him on the face.

 Richard did not mind the slap he would do it again for another. He wanted some affection but he knew for sure that he will get non. 

 Go and get the ready car immediately, I don't want to be late for work. For starving me, no food you today "

 "I owe the kitchen department, you won't even be at home when I prepare the meal," Richard thought.

 Quickly, Richard got the car from the car park. "Please go get my phone, I forgot it on the bed," Victoria ordered.

 "Okay."

 Richard got to the room and got the phone from the bed as he entered the room. He opened the phone since he knew the password word, it was his little secret.  The first thing he met was the Video Emmie sent to Victoria. 

 "Holy shit," Richard cursed.

 "I never told Ken to reveal that I was a school dropout? this is beyond the line. Richard also noticed that the pillow was wet, Victoria must have been sobbing throughout the night, he recalled hearing someone sobbing when he was asleep. He was not a deep sleeper. 

 "Poor thing. I am not supposed to sympathize with you looking at the way you treat me but I know you are only pouring your anger on me. You will soon be compensated for everything. "My phone too," Richard exclaimed.

 "Quickly, he ran to the kitchen to get his phone but he noticed that that the door was locked. "Shit," he exclaimed.

 He wanted to send a text message to Ken to come over while Victoria was away. "What do I do now," he whispered aloud.

 "Richard..." Victoria screamed.

 "I will be down in a minute," Richard yelled back.

 Quickly he wrote a short text to Ken with Victoria's phone. "Report at my place at ten am today, there is trouble," he wrote. "Don't reply to this message."

 Richard ran down to meet Victoria, waiting impatiently for him beside the car.

 "What took you so long," Victoria said.

 "I am very sorry, I saw a rat in your room and I had to kill it." Richard knew Victoria hate rats.

 "A rat, where is it now," Victoria said frightened. 

 "It's dead and I disposed of it properly."

 "This is all your fault."

 "How?" Richard inquired.

 "I told you to always keep the door locked."

 "I did that."

 "I can't argue with you today. Please take me to work, I am running late. 

 Richard drew a stop in front of the Weldom's group company branch administered by Victoria. Victoria got down from the car. "Can I help you with your bag," Richard inquired. He always carried Victoria's bag to her office whenever she was around.

 "No, not today." 

 Richard knew exactly why Victoria refused him from carrying her bag, she was trying to avoid any form of embarrassment. "Good morning ma," someone greeted Victoria from behind.

 Victoria turned backward, are lips parted into a smile as her eyes met with her best friend, Elsa.

 "Good morning to you Elsa, what an August visit at a very odd place,"

 "I have been preparing for my wedding ceremony," hands Victoria her wedding card.

 "Wow, good to hear, who are you getting married to," Victoria inquired.

 " Henry, He his from the Bulders family." This family was ranked among the top ten families in the city.

 "Wow," Victoria exclaims.

 "Are you still hooked up with that poor fellow, hmmm Ror no Tom, what is his name again?"

 "You are not even half the age of my grandmother and you are already this forgetful," Victoria mocked.

 "Now I remember, Richard."

 "Bravo."

 "He is cute though, super cute. Where is he now," Elsa inquired.

 Immediately, Victoria discovered that Richard was already in the car eve dropping them. "What are you still doing there, she yelled.

 .......................

 Richard got to the house and packed the car at the car park. "How am I going to get my things now," he thought.

 Just then, he noticed a car parked beside the house, the door was opened. It belonged to Ken. Richard journeyed into the master room and Ken bowed at his presence. 

 "Good morning master," he greeted.

 "Good morning," Richard replied. "How did you get into the house?"

 "The master key remember," Ken said removing a black small card from his pocket. It was the only master key that existed in the city, Richards's dad was able to purchase it before it was banned by the government.

 "Can I have it?"

 Ken gave the card to Richard and he used it to unlock the room. A few minutes later, he returned with his phone. "Do you know him," Richard inquired showing a picture displayed on the front screen to Ken?

 "I know him, he is your cousins Williams."

 "That's okay. I want to inform you will  that you will have to switch locations, you are needed somewhere else."

 "It's okay but what is happening. In your message, you wrote that there is trouble."

"Yes it is painful news, my father is dead," Richard announced, tears running down his cheeks.

 "What, my kind master," Ken exclaimed.

 "When I lay hands on his killers, I will crush them with my bare hands."

 "What do you mean, 'his killers'," Ken inquired.

 "He was poisoned."

 "Shit," Ken exclaimed.

 "What do we do now."

 "Ken, I now have two revenge cases before me, mine and that of my father."

 "If he was poisoned at home then finding his killers will be a piece of cake. I know in and out of the house."

 "That is exactly why I called you Ken, I want you to get me his murderers."

 "But what has Williams got to do in all this. I know him as cruel and ambitious but.."

 "He is trying to squander my father's company fund, everyone thinks I am still overseas and I am not interested in my father's business."

 "Then you have to return right away master."

 "I can't, my father's killers might not have gone too far, they will certainly come after immediately I return."

 "You are right master. I will get my things ready right away but what excuse do I give to Rachael."

 "Come up with something, tell her you are leaving for a business trip."

 "That would be perfect. See you when I return master."

 "Be careful down there Ken Richard. Stay safe.
