The Return Of Zade Delamonte: The Humiliated Son-in-law Hurt
"Where have you been? It's been two days and I couldn't even reach you on the phone," Adera asked the minute he stepped into the house. "Busy."He proceeded upstairs to take a shower. Adera was surprised at the curt response, but she waved it off as stress. Zade had never been rude in his responses to her so he was probably in a bad mood and needed space. She opted to fix him something to eat instead of bugging him with questions. He would tell her everything eventually. She had a lot to tell him as well. In just forty-eight hours, a lot of things had gone wrong. First, Roselia had summoned a secret meeting with the shareholders of Parallax and then there were lawsuits against her father for confiscation of private properties and murder. She suspected everything was somehow connected to Roselia but she didn't have proof. The woman was quite smart. While they were busy preparing for her to take the will to court, she'd opted for more strategic targets. Consequently, if she couldn'
The Return Of Zade Delamonte: The Humiliated Son-in-law Regret
It was instant The feeling of regret ate deep into him in the safety of his room. The guilt of rubbing a memory she desperately wanted to forget in her face. His mind was actively spewing echoes of the words that should have never left his lips. The hurt in her eyes haunted him even when he was wide awake. He should have kept his cool. Controlled his temper even though she refused to see things from his point of view. Tyrone had to suffer. Even though Adera thought him cruel and it was heartless of him to keep a child from her parents his morality meant nothing to him at the moment. Tyrone had to learn the hard way that it was not okay to hurt people. His approach to the situation might not be the best but it was the most effective.He could care less if Tyrone did the same to Olivia but Helen was very special to him. That woman was lying helplessly on the hospital bed just because she fell in love with the wrong man and no one seemed to care about it. Helen was like a sister t
The Return Of Zade Delamonte: The Humiliated Son-in-law Cheat?
Adera squeezed the water out of the cloth and gently wiped Helen's body. "Hey, you. Aren't you tired of just lying down there, doing nothing? People just make decisions for. you because you're not there to give your opinion on anything," Adera spoke to her unconscious form. She dipped the cloth into the warm water again, then paused to look at Helen. "Somehow, I understand why Zade is so angry. You've been with Tyrone for so many years and he does this to you? You must really want to kill him sometimes."She stood up to wipe Helen's neck. "But I think you should wake up soon. Zade is about to do something drastic and I'm pretty sure he will regret it for the rest of his life. I tried to reason with him of course, but I ended up shooting myself in the foot."She heard someone clear their throat behind her and turned. Her brow rose as she pinned the very idiot she was talking about."Something drastic. I wonder what that could be," Tyrone walked into the ward. Adera proceeded to ign
The Return Of Zade Delamonte: The Humiliated Son-in-law Misunderstanding
"Dera you need to calm down. This might not even be what you think," Elizabeth tried to calm her down. "You think so? This is his room, Liz. Our room. You know what, let's go there right now," Adera said. "I think you have a point. Let's go check it out ourselves, instead of jumping to conclusions," Elizabeth accepted. They got into the car and drove straight to his mansion. The first thing Adera noticed was the Mercedes. It wasn't one of Zade's cars but she didn't comment on it. She was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. Elizabeth understood the situation as well, but she trusted Zade. He wasn't that stupid to let Roselia back into his life after everything she'd done to him.They spotted a female bag as they walked past the living room. Elizabeth glanced at Adera, but the woman's gaze was fixed ahead. Once they got to the room, she turned the knob but the door refused to open. She continued trying until she got angry and resorted to banging on it instead."Zade! Ope
The Return Of Zade Delamonte: The Humiliated Son-in-law Separated
Everything was set in place, ready to be executed until it was time to bring Adera to the safe house. Not only did she return everyone he sent to her, but she also refused to speak with him. He assumed she was still angry over the words he said to her the last time they had an argument and decided to go see her himself to apologize. But then Adera had a surprise waiting for him. He arrived in her place with the intention of ironing things out only to find her in the arms of another man. He tried not to think much of it since they were just cuddling. Perhaps he was a relative or a friend. He tried to come up with several explanations for her actions as he stared at her. "Dera," he called softly, his voice void of anger but when she glanced at him and went back to cuddling the man, it felt like a dagger pierced through his heart."C...Can we talk? Please...?" He asked. She ignored him again. The man lowered his head and kissed her on the lips and then the real heartbreak came. S
The Return Of Zade Delamonte: The Humiliated Son-in-law Break up
"What are you doing, Zade? I thought you would have confronted her by now," Elizabeth asked him. "Confront her? No. All I have been doing since she showed up is talk. She has never taken my words seriously and now, I am going to take action," He answered. "What do you plan to do?" She asked, looking over his shoulder to see his phone screen. "Stalking her boyfriend's social media. His name is Flynn right? If I could just find him on her following list," he mused, scrolling down the long line of accounts. "Perfect, found him!" He clicked on the profile and went through the pictures to confirm he was onto the right person. Once that was settled, he clicked on the message button. "What are you doing?" "Forwarding him the pictures his fiance sent to my woman. She flaunts her relationship with him to everyone who cares to listen so this should be very entertaining," he dropped the phone, staring thoughtfully at Elizabeth."You know I thought of posting the pictures online and taggin
The Return Of Zade Delamonte: The Humiliated Son-in-law Awake
Hurt. Pain. Maybe a little tinge of regret. The main emotions bubbling in her chest as she stared at his number. Since he left, he didn't send her the last thing as a text. No calls to reject or messages to ignore. No matter how much she tried to convince herself that she didn't want him back, her heart long for him.A tiny part of her wished he made an effort to explain instead of letting them separate on a bad note. She wouldn't have believed him anyway, but still, she would have appreciated the effort. She tossed the phone away and forced herself up the bed. She still had a kit of things to put in place. Her mother was beginning to get suspicious of the lawyer's constant calls and the court summonings in their mail box. She didn't know how long the woman would buy her lies. "Maybe I shouldn't have broken up with Zade just yet. He's an expert at dealing with situations like this," she blurted without thinking.When her mind registered her words, she facepalmed. "God, why do I
The Return Of Zade Delamonte: The Humiliated Son-in-law Hard truths
"Discard it," Tyrone ordered."Sir?""I said discard it, nitwit. Are you fucking deaf?" Tyrone yelled and the guard quickly scurried away with the box. Tyrone ruffled his hair and then buried his face in his face in his palm. The pain in his chest was pouring in torrents. When Zade made the threat, he'd assumed that the man was bluffing. He never really thought that Zade would be heartless enough to kill a child. Clearly, he underestimated the man and his little girl had taken the fall. The instructions were simple. Take care of her and make sure she wakes up in seventy-two hours. Zade obviously knew the latter was impossible to be decided by man and probably expected him to put some effort in the first but he let his arrogance get in the way. How was he going to explain this to Olivia? That her daughter died because he couldn't do something as simple as taking care of an unconscious woman? She would die of heartbreak and if she survived it, she would leave him without looking bac

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
