The Return Of Zade Delamonte: The Humiliated Son-in-law Date II
“How do I look?” Ray stared at her, without uttering a word. She gave a three-sixty in the two-piece jumpsuit. “Is it okay?” She asked again when she noticed he didn't answer her question.“It's just dinner, you're overdressed,” he shrugged, not bothering to spare her feelings. Elsa appreciated the honesty. The last thing she wanted was to look overdressed. She got into her walk-in closer once again while Ray got engrossed in his thoughts, trying to understand his feelings. She was indeed overdressed but on a normal day, he would have said that in a less harsher tone. Something was definitely wrong with him. He snapped out of his thoughts once again when she came out in a simple blue dress. It was knee-length but flair and simply stunning.He bit his lip. Blue was indeed her color. It was perfect for their dinner date yet a part of him was aching to tell her to forget the dress and go to bed. “Ray?” She called when he didn't speak. He blinked. “Yeah… I mean this is perfect for
The Return Of Zade Delamonte: The Humiliated Son-in-law Evicted
Edgar stopped in front of the house. After a pleasant evening with her, he decided to drive her home himself just to spend more time with her. Elsa felt a warm feeling in her chest at the gesture, but all that vanished when she saw the figure outside.Ray was lying on the lawn staring at the sky. Was he waiting for her? Her heart fluttered at the thought. Edgar noticed her distant expression and traced her eyes to the man on the field. His features hardened. “Who is that?” He asked her.“Oh,” she turned to him with a nervous smile. “That is Ray.”“Your… brother?” Edgar asked and she shook her head.“Of course not. I expected you to already know I'm an only child,” she snorted, stepping out of the car. Edgar stepped out too. He was pretty sure the man was aware of their presence but he didn't make any attempt to get up from the spot. He watched Elsa run up to the stranger. His lips poised in a frown. He didn't like the excitement on her face. “Ray? I'm back!” She announced, kicki
The Return Of Zade Delamonte: The Humiliated Son-in-law The deal
“So, tell me about yourself. It will help me to know what position to fix you,” Edgar asked. Jay gave it a thought. How could he tell the man about something he barely knew himself? “I… Doctor Larry found my body floating in the ocean. He believed I must have drowned somehow. I can't remember anything about my family or where I come from but I do know that I cook very well and have a vast knowledge of business,” Ray answered.“Business? You?” Edgar taunted. Ray tried not to take it to heart. It was expected for the rich to look down on others at some point in their life. Whether it was intentional or not. “Yes, business. I have read books, sir and I can boldly say that my knowledge is not garbage. It might not be as accurate as yours but it is still knowledge, nonetheless,” Ray said, without taking offense. Edgar watched the young man keenly. He took a sip of his wine and straightened up. “So tell me, Mr Ray, do you have any business plans? Forgive me for being intrusive, I just a

Elsa visited a few hours later to check on Ray, but Edgar got in the way. “Elsa, I didn't expect you to show up so soon,” He smiled. She looked over his shoulder searching for Ray with her eyes. “Yeah, I didn't think I would come so soon either. Where is Ray?” She asked. He painfully took note of the fact that even though he was right in front of her, she barely glanced at him. Her eyes were searching for a man who told him he had no feelings for her. He didn't comment on that though. He was confident that Ray would help him get her. He just needed to be patient.“Where is Ray?” Elsa looked at him for the first time since she stepped into the room. She raised a brow at him, confused at the expression on his face. “Is there a problem? Did Ray do something to offend you?” She asked. His expression grew more sullen. Just when he thought she was a little concerned about him. “Why aren't you saying anything?” Elsa crossed her arms impatiently. Out of frustration, she walked past him,
The Return Of Zade Delamonte: The Humiliated Son-in-law Engagement
“Are you still mad at me?” Edgar asked Elsa in the kitchen when she came to grab a glass of juice. Her first instinct was to ignore him but on second thoughts, there was nothing to be pissed about. He clearly told her how he felt. The least she could do was accept it and move on. “No, I'm not mad anymore. It won't change how you feel,” she shrugged. “It's not what you think. I actually helped Ray because I wanted to not because I felt any sense of responsibility towards him,” Edgar told her. Elsa crossed her arms, “Is that so? You didn't sound like that earlier.”“I'm sorry. I didn't mean anything I said to you. I was just pissed that you came to my house for the first time and didn't spare me a glance. All you were concerned about was your friend and it hurt me,” he confessed. “He was injured!” Elsa said defensively. “Yeah, right, whatever. My point remains you didn't even care about my feelings. You just wanted to see your friend,” he insisted. Elsa couldn't deny he was right.
The Return Of Zade Delamonte: The Humiliated Son-in-law HR
After Elsa left, Ray showered and got dressed, prepared to resume work for the day. He was supposed to resume early that morning but Edgar has his meetings rescheduled.Now he had three meetings to catch up with and as a PA, he was expected to be there even though he didn't know how to act. He took a look in the mirror. A sense of familiarity hit him when he saw himself in the black suit. He couldn't place it but it felt like something he'd done before. Often too. Ray didn't reason it too much because he had on his mind, way bigger than a mere suit. He wondered how Elsa would react if she saw him in a suit. He took a selfie and sent it to Elsa. She viewed it almost immediately and dreaded nibbles through his skin as the three dots appeared. “First time seeing a monkey look good on a suit.”He let out a chuckle.“Is that a compliment or your way of calling me ugly?” He texted.“Take whichever suits you best,” she replied.“Crazy girl,” Ray chuckled, pocketing his phone. He didn't

“Your employee is very rude. How do you cope with her?” Was the first thing Ray said when he entered Edgar's office. It seemed like the man was already done with whatever he'd been doing on his laptop. “Patricia?” Edgar chuckled. “I'm sorry about that. She might be a little in her head sometimes but she's the best we have around her. Very innovative with amazing marketing skills.”“Apparently she lacks communication skills,” Ray scoffed. “I lost a few pounds just talking to her. How does she market with all that intimidating aura or does she bully the clients into accepting her proposal?”Edgar burst into laughter, “If she heard that, you'd be losing a lot more than a few pounds.”“I don't doubt that.” He took the seat opposite Edgar’s. “You done for the day?”“Yeah.”“Is this the right place to discuss or do we do lunch or something?” Ray asked. Edgar suspected the discussion had to do with Elsa. His office was soundproof and there was zero possibility of them being overheard by ou
The Return Of Zade Delamonte: The Humiliated Son-in-law Dinner date
“Where are you going dressed like that, young woman?” Mrs Larry was leaning against the door, watching the girl eagerly go through her closet. When she stepped out in a skimpy skirt and sweater, she was forced to ask. “To see the man you're forcing me to marry,” Elsa answered easily. She'd already expected her mom to come barging in at some point so she practiced the lies to tell incase any situation came up.“Edgar?” Mrs Larry scolding tone had shifted to excitement. “You're going to see him? Do you want me to come with you?” Elsa paused, throwing her mother a weird look. “And why would you come with me? Is he going on a date with you?” She didn't mean to come off as rude as she sounded. On a normal day, her mother would have lashed out on her but since Edgar was involved, she let it slide easily. “No, I was just trying to offer you closure Incase you're uncomfortable around him. What restaurant are you going? Is it somewhere expensive?” Mrs Larry pressed further. At that point,

Happy
The hospital was in chaos. Just a few hours ago, they were busy trying to deliver a woman of her baby and now, there was a blood bath. Doctors, nurses, and patients scampering for their lives. Edgar arrived at the hospital just a few minutes after the Delamontes did. With the guards positioned around, he knew there was no way to carry out the initial plan. He wanted Elsa. As revenge on Zade for ruining his life, he wanted to kidnap Elsa and the baby. Unfortunately, the security was too tight.Even if he succeeded in getting into the hospital, there was no possibility of getting out unscathed and alive. So he decided to face them squarely and it resulted in a bloody gunfight. The Delamontes were with Elsa in the private ward, with the Doctors and nurses attending to her.No one cared about the blood bath outside. Their priority was for Elsa to deliver safely.Edgar was able to take down the guards at the entrance but just when he thought he'd succeeded, more came out the through th

Labor
“You sure this plan is going to work?” Elizabeth asked for the umpteenth time.“Why do I feel like it's not the plan you're worried about but the person you might find,” Elsa crossed her arms. Elizabeth let out a sigh. “It's just that, I really like him, you know. I desperately want him to be the good guy. It will break me if he is actually the mole here.”“It's okay to be terrified. It's normal when you love someone, you want them to be an angel. A misunderstood villain and all of that but we need to face reality here. If Zion is not who he pretends to be, then we need to purge him out of your company before he ruins you,” Elsa said frankly.“But why would he?” Elizabeth threw her hands in her hair, confused and frustrated. “I offered him a job as my PA with a heavy paycheck and mouthwatering allowances to enable him to better the lives of his grandmother and son. I got him a fucking luxury apartment. Why would he repay me by sabotaging my company?”“You've said all the good things

The culprit
“Who do you work for?” The question was accompanied by a punch to the man's guts. He let out a groan but that seemed to be all he was going to do. Groan and groan until they got tired of hitting him.“I asked a question! Who is your boss?” He barely acknowledged the question, focusing on the wounds on his body. He had been stalking Elizabeth as usual when three cars entrapped him and he ended up here. The men had been torturing him for three days straight but all attempts to get him to speak were futile. The highest he did was scream and curse at them.“Tie him on the electric chair,” came an order. The man wasn't even panicked by it. They weren't going to oil him because they needed answers so nothing they did scared him.After tying him to the chair. They bathe him with water. His heart heart accelerated a little. He knew what electricity and water could do and frankly, he didn't want to experience it. “Are you ready to talk?” He was given a last chance.“Never!” “Perfect.” T

Zion?
“Mommy!” Helen heard from a distance.“Mommy, wake up!” She heard again. There was a slight pounding in her head. She was surrounded by darkness.“Mommy, wake up!!” It sounded so much like Elaine. She could feel the girl shaking her but she couldn't see her. “Mommy!”Helen tried to speak but her mouth was not cooperating. It felt like it had been sewn shut.There was another voice in the background. It didn't sound like Elaine’s but there was a familiar feel to it. Her hazy mind couldn't comprehend anything at that moment. Even her mind was struggling to process her situation. Why couldn't she open her eyes? It was obvious now that she wasn't in the dark, she was still unconscious. “Mommy!!” The little girl was weeping now. Helen struggled to get her eyes open. To tell the girl that she was fine. That everything would be fine.“Is Mommy dead?” She heard that familiar voice.“No, she's not. Look here, she's breathing.”Helen was a little relieved. At least her little girl was sensib

Mole
Elizabeth arrived at the office looking tacky which was so unlike her. Zion followed her into her office curiously. She'd never been an hour to work before and definitely not looking the way she did now. The eye bags were evident and her lips were chapped coupled with the rough ponytail she had on. She looked sick.“Good morning, ma'am," Zion greeted but she gave a mere nod in response. “Uhm… is everytime alright? You don't look fine. Yesterday, you left the office suddenly and today you look like a mess,” he observed. Elizabeth glanced at him before scampering through the files on her desk. “Ma'am, I know you might not feel the need to talk to me after my behavior yesterday and I apologize. I just had a lot going on so I might have taken out some of the frustration on you," he said lowly.“What makes you think this is about you? Look, Zion, you are just an intern here and I advice you focus on what you're here for. Don't bother yourself about me, I'll be fine," she said coldly.

Poisoned
Zachary and Zade were at the prison in less than an hour to retrieve the body. The body was still warm suggesting that he just died recently.Elizabeth wasn't with them. She had gone in search of Helen as soon as she got off the phone with Zade. Zachary made sure she was heavily guarded. He didn't want anything to happen to her too.“So, may I know why my son who was entrusted in your care is lying lifeless on the floor,” he asked the chief officer.The man exchanged frightful glances with his colleagues. Words could not express how much trouble he'd gotten himself into. He was in the comfort of his home, ready to have dinner with his kids when the officers informed him of the situation.“We… we are working on it, sir. We don't know what killed him but I assure you I will get to the bottom of this,” the man shakily responded.“Not the response I want to hear. I'll ask you again. Why is the man who was entrusted in your care lying lifelessly on the floor?” Zachary asked again, his to

Murder
Her heart picked up as she noticed this strange car taking every turn she took. Once she arrived home, the car sped past but Elizabeth knew it wasn't completely gone. Hurrying to her father's room since her room was bugged, she took a look out the window. Just as she thought, it was packed at the other side of the road, directly facing her house. Elizabeth tried to make out the figure in the car but she couldn't tell who the driver if the driver was male or female because the glasses were tinted. With this person monitoring her, it was unsafe for her to stay home. Who knew how many cameras they planted in there. Shooting her father a quick text, she exited the house with two bodyguards. Her next destination was her grandfather's house. If she went to one of her penthouses or another mansion or even called someone to check the bugs in her room, it was very possible they could use it as an opening to plant more. Releasing the nudes was no problem. Anyone could tell from the footag

Stalker
Elizabeth was signing documents with Zion on the other side of the room answering emails. “Zion,” she called. “I'm not doing anything after work. If it's okay by you, I'd like to see Noah afterward.”There was no response from him. She looked up and found him buried in work. Of course, he wouldn't hear her. It was childish but she folded a paper plane and threw it at him. He looked up with a mortified expression that almost sent her wheezing in laughter.“I suppose that would be funny to you,” he said dryly.“Come on, you don't have to be so uptight. I only threw the plane at you because you were too engrossed in work to hear me,” she said lightly. His brows knotted together in displeasure. He was not enjoying the conversation.“I couldn't hear you because I am deaf,” he gritted. “Why are you being so cranky today? First, you get upset over a little joke and now, you're making it seem like I'm making fun of your disability and I don't like that. I was only asking if I could come o

Denial
“I am not dead yet, there is no need for y'all to pamper me,” Zachary complained.“We know you're fine, father, we just don't care. You just woke up and it is only right we take care of you until you are strong enough and well rested,” Elizabeth said. Zachary didn't like the sound of that. He did not like to be babied.“I don't plan to spend another day here. All you need to do is sign my discharge papers and I will be on my way…”“On your way to where?” Zade questioned. “Neither of us will sign those papers until we confirm you are fit to move.”“Fit to move? Was I diagnosed with paralysis? I can flex my legs as much as I want to. You kids are the ones making this a big deal,” He stated. “We don't care what you think. We will sign the papers only when we feel like,” Elizabeth crossed her arms stubbornly. Zachary glared at them, “If you don't sign those papers, I will…”“You’re smart, Grandpa. I expected you would understand that threatening us would not change anything,” Zade int
