Adrian stared at his mother-in-law with a confused look on his face. He dropped the phone and stared at her deeply, unaware of why she was asking him such a question. “May I know what you mean? I don't seem to understand,” he said and she scoffed. “What don't you understand, huh?” She asked in a cold tone and he swallowed hard. “I said why didn't you accept Chloe's offer? Why did you reject it?” She asked and he shook his head with a sigh after he understood what she meant. “Because I feel there's no reason to accept the offer,” he replied and she glared at him viciously.She was angry at him for talking to her in such a tone. “No reason?” She asked and scowled. “How dare you say such a thing, huh! You've been eating and living without contributing to help the family. You'd the opportunity to hit the jackpot but you turned it down and even still have the gut to talk to me in such a way,” she said and he shook his head.He dropped the spoon on the table and placed his hand under
“Yes, you're right. I'm your husband,” Adrian said and a proud smile crept on her face. “But why are you asking me all these questions lately?” his wife, Sarah, asked with a confused look on her face and he looked away. “That's because you've been acting strange lately but now, I understand,” he said and she scoffed. “You’re my husband so I have every reason to be by your side and support you,” she said and he smiled gently. “Thank you for standing by me,” he responded and she smiled gently at him. “Yeah. I would be with you through thick and thin that's the vow we made. Isn't it?” She asked and he nodded his head. “And besides, I'm the reason why you're in this state. This wouldn't have happened to you if you didn't come and push me from getting hit by the running truck,” she said and he shook his head with a sigh. “You don't have to think like that, okay? I did that because you're my wife.”“I don't want you to think that I'm in this state because of you. You don't owe me an
“Transaction fail?” He asked with a confused look on his face and the sales rep scoffed and then snatched the POS machine from him. “Yeah. And that's because you're poor. You shouldn't have stress if you know that you don't have enough funds in your account,” she brought out the ATM card and threw it at him. “Keep it to yourself. I'll let you go off the hook but next time you stress me out without paying your bill, I'll make sure I call the security guards on you,” she said in a cold tone and he lowered his head in shame. He arched his eyebrows and stroked his chin gently with a confused look on his face. He couldn't understand why his account couldn't make the payment successful. He snapped out of his thoughts and looked up with a cold look on his phone as a message popped into his phone. He hissed and shook his head upon reading the content of the message. It was a message from the Finite Bank where he saved his money. “We had issues processing the payment you made a few minute
“Huh!” Brian pulled out of Sarah and Sarah jerked up with a shocked expression on her face. Her body trembled as she noticed the look that was in Adrian's eyes. At that moment, he looked down and heartbroken. He was having a hard moment to maintain his cool. He was losing himself. “What… are you doing here?” She stammered and lowered her head in shame, unable to stare at his face. She couldn't afford to look at his face because of the shame. It was unfortunate that she had to have sex with Brian a day after she told him that she'd do nothing for Brian. What type of woman would that make her he? He asked himself but he couldn't get an answer to it. “I thought you're… working in the restaurant… or the,” she shuttered, unaware of what to say. “Is that what you'll say after seeing this?” He asked in a heartbroken tone and she shook her head vehemently.“What else do you expect her to say?” Brian asked and he turned to him with a dark gaze. He glared at Brian warningly and he nodded
“2 thousand dollars,” he muttered to himself and stroked his chin with a confused look.“How would you like to pay, Sir?” The bartender asked in a cold tone and he turned to the man, who looked away quickly. “Card,” he said and the bartender nodded his head. He brought out his ATM card and gave it to the man, who collected it and slotted it into the machine. “Your pin, Sir?” The man asked and he turned to the man.He inputted his pin and turned to the man, who stared at him with utmost attention. He arched his eyebrows with a confused look on his face as the man turned to him with a frown on his face. “What's wrong?” He asked. He knew his account no longer had any issues as it may seem. “What's the meaning of this, sir?” The man asked in a cold tone as he stretched the POS machine to him. He stared at the POS machine with a confused look on his face. His eyes widened in shock upon reading the content of the electronic receipt. “Transaction fail?” He asked and the man scoffed.
“What happened here?” He asked with a confused look on his face as his gaze landed on his luggage lying on the floor. He reached out to the luggage on the floor, picked it up from the floor, and placed it in a good spot. “Open the door,” he said and knocked on the door. For the third time, they refused to open the door despite hearing him from the house. Weren't they at home? He could hear the sound of footsteps inside of the house so he was certain that they were inside the room. “Open this damn door,” he yelled and began to bang on the door so they would open the door but they refused to open the door. Just as he was about to give up, the door creaked open and his mother-in-law, Brianna, came out of the house. “What do you want, Mr. Man?”“Do you want to break down this door that is worth buying you, huh?” She asked in a cold and indifferent tone, and he scoffed. “No. I didn't mean to hit the door that way but I had no choice since it seems you didn't want to open the door,”
“You'd better drop that hand before I break them for you,” Brianna said in a cold tone after Adrian promised to make their life miserable. It was quite funny and unfortunate that even when he was poor and helpless, he had the guts to talk to them in that manner. “If you break his hand again, how do you expect him to leave this place?”“Or do you want another liability in this house?” Sarah asked and her mother nodded her head. “Yes, you're right, my daughter,” she said and stroked her daughter's hair. “Am I a liability?” He asked in a low tone but not low enough for them not to hear. “Yes, you're a liability to me. Or don't you know?” She asked and chuckled mockingly. “You’re useless husband. I wonder why I got married to you in the first place but it's in the past now because we're no longer together,” she said in a cold tone and he shook. “I'm not a liability. And I'll make sure that I prove it to you one day. And that day is going to be soon.”“You're going to regret lookin
Huh?Adrian swallowed hard as he bent down to pick the money from the floor. From the distance where the voice sounded, he knew the person wouldn't be able to spot him picking the money so he picked the money and stuffed it inside his pocket. “What's the problem?” He asked in a calm tone as he turned to the middle-aged in a uniform. He was a police officer. “I should be asking you that question, Mr. Man. May I know the reason why you're standing outside by this time of the day?” He asked. At first, Adrian was relieved to know that he wasn't caught picking the money from the floor, but at the same time, he was worried because he was caught by a low enforcer in the middle of the night. If care is not taken, he would be taken to a police station or he would be charged with a fine of five hundred dollars and he would have nothing on him. “Why aren't you talking? Or are you among those guys who robbed the Fidelity bank?” The police asked and pulled his gun from his pocket then cocke
