The Deceitful Son-in-law

Chapter 8

 "So what are you going to do about Richard," Rachael continued.

 "That would not pose a problem, we will cross that bridge when we get to it."

 "The fact that he took my Virginity will be enough to convince him that I am not married before now. As for Richard, a few dollars will shut him up," Victoria thought.

 "I will break this good news to mum tomorrow," Rachael ended and hung up.

 "Why are you staring at me that way," Victoria inquired.

 "I never knew the woman I got married to was this shameless."

 "Call me shameless again and you will rot the jail and I assure you, nobody will miss you."

 "But I thought you hated the Armstrong family," Richard said.

 "When did we discuss anything about the Armstrongs," Victoria inquired.

 "During our courtship."

 "I said that because I was jealous. But that doesn't matter now, I will soon be married to one of them."

 "You won't dare," Richard threatened.

 "You don't have to worry, I will persuade grandma to compensate you with a million dollars. Besides, that will be nothing compared to what will stand to gain when I get married to manager Williams Armstrong."

 Angrily, Richard stormed out of her presence and walked into the kitchen, banging the door behind him. He tightened his fist as his breathing pace increased. Angrily, he reached out to the new sets of glass cups Victoria recently ordered from Spain and threw them on the floor. They made a shattering sound as they met with the smoothly tiled floor. 

 "What have I done," Richard lamented, realizing his mistake.

 Meanwhile, Victoria also heard the sound. "What his happening," she whispered. Taken over by curiosity, she ran to the kitchen and discovered that the new set of cups she ordered from Spain were lying shattered on the floor.

 "What have you done," she yelled at Richard.

 Her presence made Richard grow angry . "What have I done? It should to be what are you doing."

 "Do you know how much those cups are Worth?" Victoria thundered. 

 "At least, they don't worth my heart which you have shattered."

 "You are going to get punished for this."

 "Punished? I have already divorced you in my heart so go ahead with yours it no longer matters," Richard said with tears freely running down his eyes.

 At the sight of his tears, Victoria felt heartbroken and guilty but she had to act strong. His current pain was nothing compared to what he made her go through daily, the shame, the embarrassment, this was are payback time. She was going to reck his heart.

 "When I am done divorcing you, I will make sure you pay for all the damages you have cursed until there is not a single penny left to your name."

 "Is that a threat?"

 "Consider it one."

 "You will remember this day Victoria, I will make all of you who ever despised me come to me begging."

 "How are you going to do that," Victoria laughed.

 "Watch and see how your family goes bankrupt, From top fifty to bottom ten."

 "How are you going to do that, Rob, us clean?" Victoria inquired. "I should not be having this discussion with you. I should be planning on how to get Williams to get married to me. You are just one unlucky fellow," she ended and left the kitchen.

 "We shall see who is the unlucky fellow," Richard threatened.

  Is love for Victoria had finally turned to passionate hatred and the Weldoms had brought out the beast in him. As he foamed with anger, his phone beeped. It was a text message from Ken. "Good morning young master, there is a new discovery you will like, I will call you by morning."

 Before he finished reading the text, Richard gave Ken a call. 

 "Good morning young master," Ken greeted surprised.

 "Good morning Ken, what is the new development, have you found my father's killers," Richard inquired.

 "Young master, aren't you supposed to be asleep."

 "That does not matter Ken, tell me what I need to know."

 "Young Master, your voice doesn't sound too good. Who is making you angry."

 "Ken...."

 "I am trying to avoid attention," Ken said almost in a whisper. "Williams has the house guarded both day and night."

 "What is his reason for that."

 "He says your father's killers might not have gone far. But that is not true, he is trying to prevent any form of internal investigation."

 "Why would he do such a thing, Ken."

 "I think he has a hand in your father's death," Ken whispered.

 "What. Have you gotten any concrete proof to back that?"

 "Yes, but I can't relate it to you now, but it is enough to get him arrested and imprisoned."

 "That is great," Richard exclaimed.

 "Should I get the police involved young master," Ken inquired.

 "No, not yet."

 "Why young master, he is eating deep Into the business fund."

 "I want him to run the business a little longer."

 "What is your reason for doing this young master."

 "I want him to soil the Weldoms with some mud. Then I will be able to get the financial crime agency to freeze their accounts."

 "I don't get you, young master," Ken said genuinely lost.

 "You Don't have to Ken. You will fully understand when I start rolling out my plans. It will be like judgment on the Weldoms.

 "Whatever is your reason for doing this young master, I think is the best decision for now. This place is not safe for you."

 "Okay, Ken. One more thing, do you think Williams is the only one involved in this murder case."

 "I don't think so young master. I don't have any proof but that is what my instincts are saying."

 "Your instincts are never wrong Ken. You are doing a very good job."

 "I am not only doing this for you young master, I am doing this for my master who was gruesomely murdered."

 Richard hung up and support his jaw with his fist. "This is going easier than I thought," he mumbled. "I will make Victoria and all her relatives pay for all the insults they have rained on me," Richard vowed
