The Son-in-law's Revenge The Elites meeting
The five heads of families were seated around a table. They were the most important families, and next to them were three other families. Not as important as the five but important nonetheless. They were all called the Elites, the organization itself. This time, they were meeting in an underground restaurant which was built to serve meeting like this. The restaurant wasn't popular to everyone except rich people. "What's going on?" Richard asked the table, although, his eyes were on Simon Otto, the anchor.Simon addressed the table, locking eyes with each and every one of them. We are all gathered here today concerning the latest developments and an emergency we have to deal with immediate effect."We were supposed to move on to our next target, the Smiths, yeah?"A series of 'yes' rose up from the table, including Richard's."It was planned carefully." Someone from the table said."Is there progress from that end?" Richard asked, "And I don't see Pammad here even though I unders
The Son-in-law's Revenge In mourning
Victoria entered the Pammad's house, tears in her eyes. She was really confused on how to console her friend yet."Heyy Pam." Victoria called, walking fully into the living room.Pamela glanced up, her eyes red and puffy. Sjevwas the only one on the living room, wearing her mourning clothes."Victoria." Pamela answered in a broken whisper, "Esme is really gone. She had disappeared from Mt life."Victoria's eyes welled up with tears as she took in her friend's shattered and broken expression. She looked like someone whose life purpose had been snatched from her, and she is left with crumbles and pieces without any idea on how to pick up and start all over again. Victoria's walked closer and pulled Pamela into her embrace, her heart clenching in pain at what Pamela must be feeling. Looking back, she really had no idea on how she and Pamela had gotten close over time. Just like her, Pamela used to have a useless son in law. It was one of the things that brought them together. A

Isabel straightened her already-straight lapels of her red blazer. It was a matching up and down. Red blazer and red pencil skirt. Her hair was let down to fall freely but the sides and front were pushed back to flaunt her face. With her black Birkin's back balanced into the crook of her elbow, Isabel released a deep breath through her nostrils and stuck out a slender manicured finger to press the elevator button, while she waited for it to come to a stop, she pressed her lips in that manner a lady does after apply lipstick and patted the corner of her lips with the same finger. Her lipstick was the same shade of red as her suit, bloody. And it wasn't surprising why it was so. Isabel believed at least two heads were going to roll across the board's table today, and none of it would be hers. She's rather have her cloth stained with their blood and reverie in the joy of it. Today was the day Logan's CEO would be decided. Today is the day all her games and tricks would come through fo
The Son-in-law's Revenge A better way to throw Pammad off guard
There's something about dim lit places and the shadows the yellow bulbs create in the corners in the dark. A few numbers of the heads of important families gathered around in crisp suits and expensive shoes in a circle under the dim light, flickering as if it would die out anytime soon. Maybe it was because the bulb offered enough secrecy to whoever couldn't get into the circle. Maybe it was because deep down they detested the faces they were forced to see every time they gathered like this.The Five of the Elites were having another one of their meetings again where they decided the fate of their latest victim, the Smiths. This time, the location was at an abandoned greenhouse in a remote part in Idaho. Richard slipped out one hand from his pocket and pushed his square-rimmed classes up his nose bridge, and gulped down, his Adam apple bubbled. He stared at Simon. He didn't want to be here. These frequent meetings were starting to exhaust him and he hated being called in and out o
The Son-in-law's Revenge Angry meeting
Luka's chest heaved up and down as his breath wheezed in and out of his lungs. His legs continued to run on the treadmill, his gaze on the still sleeping city. It was the first stage of dawn, that point where the whole city is painted in a blue hue before the sunlight makes its way through. The glass walls offered him a great view of the city whenever he wanted from the third floor of the house which was where the gymnasium was. Another week of becoming a CEO, Lucas thought to himself as he slowed to a walk, the life he was slowly building forming in his mine. Luka got off the treadmill and grabbed his towel having off one of the benches. Sweat glistened all over his milky skin and his slightly curly hair semmed even more lose as the strands cling to his face, dampened heavily by sweat as well. As Luka rubbed himself clean, his personal assistant came in as if on cue. Dressed in a crisp navy blue suit, the slim figure balanced a bottle of water and an iPad on one hand to momentarily
The Son-in-law's Revenge leave me alone
Luka watched the lady curtsy to pick up her phone with wide eyes while admiring her her elegance. Still, he didn't like the tone she had used with him.“I believe I should be telling you that, you were so engrossed in your phone call that you bumped into me.” Luka replied in a Stern matter-of-factly tone.A corner of the lady's lips twitched as sheet out a unbelievable scoff. She slipped her phone into her black bag and brushed the frontal strands of her left to add beauty to her ponytail to there respective sides. “I was engrossed with my phone call? Then why did you, the one not engrossed in anything, think of moving the other way—” she stuck both arms out and moved it to one side to gesticulate moving the other way “instead of bumping into me.”Luka opened his mouth to say something but could not say anything meaningful except stuttering sounds as he gaped at this insufferable lady in a pale yellow suit, mini skirt and white knee-length boots. “That's what I thought.” The lady ro

“Ahhh!” The blonde lady drawled out with lots of air. “Still as grumpy as ever?”“When did you arrive?” William got out from the couch and walked over to her enveloping her into a bear hug.“Hey hey hey! I'm still china. Did you forget? You'll crush me.” She said in between laughs as she waited for Williams to release her from his embrace. When Williams pulled back, he stretched out a hand to ruffle her hair but Charlotte hled his hand before it touched her. “No!” She said firmly. “You bleached your hair.”“Mmhmm.” Charlotte responded affirmatively with a nod and stepped to the side to walk into his room. Her blue eyes roamed his room. “I'm a free bird now so…” she looked at him over her shoulder and shrugged.“Well lucky you, there's no relative in Manchester watching after your ass.” William pointed out ruefully. Charlotte tucked her chin and peered at William like you would at someone over the rims of a pair of eyeglass. “You used to be excited to be CEO, what's with the tone n

Chapter 52Someone knocked softly on his black-tinted mirror twice causing him to look up from his phone. Tony lowered his window only slightly and waited for the man behind the glass to talk.“Mr Ruvolo will see you now,” the man informed him in a slight Italian accent. Tony didn't respond a yes or an alright, he simply wind up the glass and glared at Mr Ruvolo's driver from inside his car. After a few more minutes, he reached for a flash drive sitting pretty in the area meant to hold a water bottle. He caressed the black rectangularish piece with his thumb and lifted the corner of his lips slowly into a smile before stepping out of his Audi S4. He shut the door behind him while his eyes roamed all over the entrance of the Opera theatre. Elegantly dressed women and dashing men in tuxedos with their posh accent as they communicated with each other in cadence known to people of affluence littered the stairs that led to the grand hall. Some only exchanged a few words before disappeari

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
