The Son-in-law's Revenge Worried for his master
Ethan had his eyes peeled out as he weaved his way through the busy street. Drogo had asked to meet up at a small Moroccan-style restaurant that existed in the heart of a fresh food market. He was now navigating his way through using a map on his phone. This was the only way to the restaurant as it was in the middle of the market. Cabs could only go as far as the entrance.He's never been or his part of the city before, he might as well simply enjoy the the exploration. One thing he liked so much about this fresh food Market was the neon lights display. Each shop, each stall and each stand had at least one rectangular neaom design hovering above them. If you stood at the entrance and allowed your eyes to roam all over the place, it looked like festival lights display. But he had to hurry. Isabel will be back from work soon. He didn't want to deal with that woman Ill temper when aggravated. Ethan looked at his phone and allowed his body to continue to moving. He bumped into someone
The Son-in-law's Revenge Water and oil
Ethan noticed something around Drogo's jaw area. He leaned forward from his side of the table and squinted, focusing his vision on that part. “When did you start using makeup?”“Huh?” Drogo blinked.Ethan pursed his lips, stood and stretched and an arm to touch his jaw with his fingers. “Ow!” Drogo winced and hissed.Ethan dropped back into his chair with a demanding look. “Explain what's going on? Why do you have concealer on your jaw and why does it hurt?” He asked, although he was already doing some calculations in his head. Whatever happened, Drogo had gotten punched in the jaw.Drogo realized that he couldn't hide what happened to his master most especially because he didn't want Ethan to start digging around and land in some mess. His life was precious.“My boss in a side job I got a job that he wanted to handle himself but he took me along just in case. We were asked to take out a target.”“As in…” Ethan made a gesture with his hand cutting the base of his neck.“Yes. Our clie
The Son-in-law's Revenge Non harsh features
Tony retrieved the items from the floor for him. “Fish.” He peeped inside the plastic bag before giving it back to Ethan. “So you’re on cooking duty today huh?”Ethan smiled sheepishly, everything Drogo had narrated was replaying in his head now. He looked at Tony's face such that you would think he was counting the pores on his skin as he tried to look for a bump around his jaw area or cheek as evidence of the attack. Just like Drogo's but he couldn't find one.“Is there anything in my face?” Tony suddenly asked out of the blue with a frown on his face.“Er…um… no. Just wondering how you're so persistent despite mentioning it many times to stop trying to be friends with me.” Ethan started to walk away, his tone sounding a bit harsh..Tony didn't seem to be bothered by the slightly harsh tone of crease of annoyance on Ethan's face as he caught up to Ethan's pace. “I stil see nol reason why I can't be friends with you. Because of Isabel?”Yes and because you're the freaking head of a
The Son-in-law's Revenge A blade through you
“Sssss haaaaa!” Tony sucked in air through his teeth and released it with his mouth open as he fell into place directly behind Richard, who was trying so hard not to show he was intimidated by his presence. A million thoughts ran through Richard's head. What had happened? What had gone wrong? Did Vanders fail again? “Incompetent bastard!” Richard cussed under his breath.“Excuse me?” Tony lengthened his stride so that in two steps, he was standing in front of Richard, blocking his path. Tony cocked his head to the side.“I wasn't talking to you.”“I thought as much.” Tony smiled and patted Richard's shoulder, turned sideways, and stretched out an arm silently, telling Richard to proceed their journey to he main house.“Isn't it a beautiful day? What do I give an old woman on a courtesy visit?” Tony asked, his tone sincerely curious. Your dead body would make the perfect gift! Richard answered him in his head but kept his lips sealed shut against each other. They were almost at the
The Son-in-law's Revenge No
“T-tony!” Anabelle called out sharply as she sharpness of the blade pricked her skin.Tony stepped back and burst into a loud laughter with a wheeze at the end. He threw the knife into the table and took the empty chair beside her that he had been sitting in before he went to pick up the knife. Grabbing the leg of Anabelle's chair, he pulled her roughly to face him.Anabelle's face was a chalk-white colour now, she was petrified to death. “You know, for someone who do easily dismisses the death of one while still planning the death of another, you shouldn't be so scared at the face of it.” Tony cluck his tongue three times. “I wonder how Richard would react. Would it be like mother like son? Or would he grow some balls or lose some?”At the mention of her son, Grandma Anabelle's blood seemed to start working as long as other functions of her body. She blinked. “Leave Richard alone. We have a adeal.”“And you broke it by sending men to assassinate me.”“I swear to you Tony Ecaudor, I
The Son-in-law's Revenge Annual Network Party
~About a week after~It always boiled down to this after the first opening sixty minutes or so. Meeting people you know and then getting introduced to people you don't know, forming connections and exchanging contacts but for Isabel, it was different. She was stuck in this circle of self-centered braggarts called her extended family.It was the annual Family and Friends Rainfall Networking Party organized by the Elites. The Logan family was the host his year and had donated the open space at the back of the main house for that cause. Of course there were reporters, what's the use of a private networking party if it doesn't put them in the spotlight and stir envy and rejection in the hearts of those not invited. The Family and Friends Rainfall networking Party was organized every year by the Elites and originally each family took turns playing host each year but somehow it started to circulate only within The Five. The purposes of the event was to celebrate their achievement so far i

Red wine dropped from Ethan's face into his white shirt, staining it in blotches.“Where have you been?” Isabel screamed into his face.“Isabel I wa–”“You were what? Introducing yourselves to other ladies now that you have the opportunity to?” She intercepted harshly.“No Isabel, I only wanted to ch–”“Look!” She interrupted again and pointed to the food. “Just look how the food has turned cold because I was waiting for you.”“And I am glad you didn't touch it in my absence!” Ethan raised his voice frimly, surprising Isabel into shocked silence.“I suspected the food has shellfish in it but I wasn't sure, so I went to ask the cook in the kitchen but she wasn't there. I had to wait eventually the sous chef came around and I asked her if there was shell fish it and she said yes. Imagine you are it.” Ethan's voice was less hard but still emphatic. Isabel blinked, looked at the food for a few seconds and turned back to Ethan. Her gaze couldn't hold his for long, now realizing that he ha
The Son-in-law's Revenge viva la vida
Ruby turned around at the mention of her full name. A woman dressed in an off-shoulder jumpsuit with beach blonde hair and red lipstick watched her with full grey eyes. Ruby doesn't recall ever meeting this woman anywhere but she felt familiar. She urged her brain to think of where she must have seen her. “I don't believe we've met.” Ruby eventually settled for that when her brain came up with zero results. The woman chuckled and took two steps forward, her heels clicked against the paved floor. “Of course not. I'm Lorena Vega.” She stretched a hand out for a handshake.Lorena Vega, Ruby mused over that name in her head as she took the extended hand. Now that sounded insanely familiar.“Lorena Vega,” Ruby drawled out, hoping it would strike a chord. Few seconds after, it did and with a gasp and her eyes filled with enlightenment, she turned back to look at the woman who had a small close-lipped smile plastered on her face. “Vega Beauty?” Lorena didn't need to nod to affirm her que

We are here
They were all waiting for one person to arrive. Ruby continued to glare at William, pissed that he was here. “I still don't see any reason why he is here Lukyan.” Ruby called him directly now that everyone present in the room now knows. “We need him to testify against his father in the court later. Besides an enemy of my enemy is a friend even if it's temporary. “ Etham whispered to her. Ruby spared another harsh glance at William who gave her look that told how pleased he was to be her source of discomfort. Ruby thought she's had her share of surprise that day until the AI announced Drogo's presence askimg Lukyan to give them entry. Them because Drogo wasn't alone. Ruby watched the door with expectant eyes as Drogo filed in, followed by Tony and a battered blindfolded man.. Tony pushed the blindfolded man to the floor, blood smeared the it as the man tried to gather himself up. In addition to the blindfolded, his mouth was gagged and his hands were tied behind his back. “A p
A visitor
“You have a visitor Will.” The officer informed him..William frowned, wondering who it could be. Has his father developed a remorse of his un-fatherly actions and wanted to right the wrong?Nah. William shook his head.“Who is it?”It's your uncle.” The officer replied over his shoulder. William halted. His father's brothers didn't give a hoot about family, why would they visit him all of a sudden.“Hey! Hurry up. I ain't got all day.” The officer yelled at him. William wasn't led to the usual visiting room. He was led to a more.lrivaye one hat a detective would use to interrogate a prisoner for details instead. “Who the heck could that caring uncle be?” William wondered out loud as the office urged him into a room.The bloody hell!” William yelled as soon as he saw who was seated waiting for him.Ethan and one other man he didn't know. Ethan looked at the officer and nodded at him to leave them in privacy. “Hey! Hey!!!” William yelled whn this officer locked them in.“I'd prefer
You'll see
The best they could do by themselves was make the study rid of dust so to recieve Mr Alexei Javi who was probably running down this way with his shadow behind.As soon as they were done, theybwere informed of his presence.“Sir Zaitsev, you have a visitor.”“Scan and see if you recognize his face,” Ethan replied the AI with a smile, knowing that it knows who Alexei was. It just simply felt good to be him again.“Alexei Javi, Chairman of Javinsons hotel. Would you like further information on him sir?” it replied.“No, thank you.”“Approve or deny entry?”“Approve.” Minutes later, a man in his seventies still with a youthful energy around hims burst into the room as if the fact that he had been given entry was not enough proof that Lukyan was alive. As soon as he reached the threshold of the study, he halted. Eyes shifted from Droho to Lukyan. “You.” He breathed, staring at Diego. His eyes softened and Justine was filled with relief. “You're here too.”Drogo smiled. “But…” He stared
As you live
Two hours later, Drogo and Ethan were leaving the coastal countryside with flash drives and documents from the smaller rectangular boxes in the treasure chest at the Ivanov's resident. They also didn't leave without having some money transferred to Polina and a promise to visit her again in the future.Now they were headed to Ethan's grandfather's beach house in the rental car.“I'm thinking of having Polina work for us after I resuscitate Belinsky Enterprises. I'm going to focus on how restaurant and food production part.” Ethan shared his thoughts with Drogo who responded with a small smile of approval.They got to the beach house in time. Outside, the building was beauty to behold but Ethan knew that the inside would be crawling with all kinds of creepy and stray things. After his grandfather's death, all of the workers had been dismissed including the housekeeper or do he thought until he saw a hunched figure in a black coat and a checkered print tweed flat cap hurrying out ofa cr
So long
The childlike giggle high-pitched by excitement travelled far thanks to the wind that came with the push and pull of the seawater against the sand, creamy white foam lining the tip. There were three figures playing on the sand, two wore blue shorts and were shirtless while the third one wore a green one with a tank top on. They all had light blonde hair. “I'm counting now!” The third one yelled, sounding feminine. “One! Two! Three! Stop!” The boys froze. They both found it hard to control their laughter as the girl chose which to go after. The game was simple. She had a maximum of three leaps to make it tonome person. If she does touch whichever she picked in those three leaps, then the person touched will replace her in he middle and do his counting. Between the two boys, one could tell which was older very easily. The one on the right hand of the girl was taller and older-looking than the cute little boy on her left who was about his elbow high. They all resembled each other so i
Satisfaction
Isabel's spirit seemed to drop further into despondency with each step she took down the stairs. Wrapped in a wool robe and her hair in a towel of the same material, her finger traced the silver railing of her stairs as she descended slowly. She's just had the loneliest heartbreaking bath. Despite the essence she had added to her bath water that was meant to help her feel great afterwards, her body still ached. And parts of her she couldn't exactly identity. She was sure if one thing however. That she was numb from head to toe. She's done enough crying to last a year, her tear ducts were probably tired and wouldn't produce any more of the salty liquid even if it was prompted to. Her slow descent finally came to an end and she had eventually reached the end of the stairs. Her eyes roamed the house at an unrushed pace, slowly taking everything in and noting how empty—super empty the house seemed to have become. Could one person really make such an impact? She asked herself, huggin
Silver
“You know, you could have just let Ruby drive us to wherever this Thai restaurant is than is having to ride in your car.” Ruby looked outside as she strapped the seatbelt across her chest, silently praying that no one else saw her go into his car. “Thank you but I'd rather not be seen in a Cosmo purple car. Who drives such a colour around nowadays.” Tony put on his seatbelt to and leaned forward to assess the tightness.“Uh excuse me, it's called being unique.”“You're certainly standing out.” Tony teased. “Well sorry if you can't stand a little colour because you're used to the greyness of your world.” She tapped the side of the vehicle lightly with her knuckle for emphasis.“Silver.” Tony corrected as he pulled out of the lot. “It's silver Lolly.”Ruby's eyes jutted together. “Lolly?”“Your car looks like grapefruit flavour so…” Tony explained.Ruby opened her mouth as if to say “the audacity!” “Look, I have varied taste. I'm not restricted to a colour okay. You know what, when n
Guy in black suit
Ruby's body perked up the instant she saw him wall out of the building. “Go after him!” She tapped the shoulder of the driver's seat eagerly.“Who?” Jena asked.“The guy in the black suit.”Jena scanned the parking lot of Logan Industrial Group and found he oerosj her boss was suddenly enthusiastic about. “Tony?” She blurted out thoughtlessly, wincing quietly when she realized her slip-up.“You know him?” Ruby watched Tony speak to someone in his phone. He looked attractive with his hands on his waist and his face switching to serious to slightly less serious as he conversed with whoever was on the other side of the line. Today was sunny and his gelled hair was shiny under the rays of the sun. “Yeah. Tony Ecaudor. Just by name. You know from people I've worked with in the past.” Jenner did her best not to stammer and raise further questions from Ruby. She watched Tony end the phone call and got out his car keys.“Quick! Drive up to him. Quick quick!”Jenner did her fastest starting
Signed
Isabel didn't wait for the car to completely stop. She couldn't. The words were still playing over and over in her head. “Ethan signed the divorce papers sweetheart. You're now a free woman.” As soon as her father had said those words, the driver had stopped the car while she asked—rather, demanded what he was talking about and why the divorce papers had her signature on it even when she had no recollection of ever signing the divorce papers. “You don't remember? It was the day we ate together at the restaurant.” Her father had answered before closing the door, leaving her even more consterned.She rushed past the guards and servants welcoming her, not bothering about her belongings still in the boot of the car. A light shower has started, miniature droplets of it getting soaked up by her blazer. She burst through the front door, eyes wide and searching as she scanned the premises. It was empty and her heart did a painful lurch. Next, she ran up the stairs to the bedroom and with
