The Son-in-law's Revenge Makes you a first
Simon watched as Richard exchanged smiles and business jokes with big men in the industry. He wasn't exactly happy. Im fact, he was envious of the progress Richard was making but was too egoistic to let it show. Even more egoistic to show interest in this new subsidiary of Logan Industrial group. Buying shares required money and being head of the Elites required reputation. Richard must not know that he was at the edge of bankruptcy. He had been very secretive about that. The only edge he had on this matter was the deal that Isabel was going to divorce Ethan so that his son—after his bad behavior has been curtailed— would marry her. Patience. Simon stroked himself mentally. Patience. Richard chuckled as he walked away from the men who had showed quality interest in investing and a desire to set up a meeting with Isabel. He looked around for any sight of his daughter in her monochrome jumpsuit but couldn't find her. Instead he bumped into his son.“Anthony!”“You look all smiles fat
The Son-in-law's Revenge cease to exist
“Usually, my father makes sure people cease to exist but if you're still alive it's either because you're useful in the future or he's busy with something else and you're just a bug in the way.” William leaned the back of his head on the wall. “Like I am.”Pammad watch a couple of men pass them in groups as they discussed their opinions on a topic in hush tones. “What did you do to land yourself here?”“I simply followed him around, I always knew my father was up to something with his sudden takeoffs in the middle of work and he's never telling me where. I got curious, I wanted to find out.”“Simon would definitely not like that.” Pammad agreed with a short bob of his head as he folded his arms across his shirt. “Still not enough to let you rot here. I wouldn't do that to my child. The prison changes men.”“I believe that's exactly why he left me. He wanted the prison to tame my wings but I won't be here forever. The moment I leave here, I'll let him know that he thought wrong.”“Sim
The Son-in-law's Revenge I remember
The meeting place was the black sedan that was parked distances away from a giant boulder that stood near the egde of a cliff. Lukyan could read the plate number, comparing it to the message he had received. Senator Barclay was in that car and this moment defined whether he would own a piece of the redevelopment cake or not. His car pulled up just near the black sedan with tinted glasses and as he alighted from the vehicle, the door if the black sedan opened and out came a man in an ash-coloured suit and white gloves who held the door open for Lukyan to go in. Lukyan peered into the car first and returned the smile the senator gave to him before entering. The man with white gloves shut the door after Lukyan, the slamming sound caused Drogo's nerve to be more alert than ever.Drogo didn't trust anyone. Especially those involved in politics. It is a dog-eat-dog world and no one is ever really safe. Drogo have himself ten minutes. If his boss wasn't out by then, he would step out of the

“After your meeting with current members of the board, you have one with the press and then another one outside the company with a Congressman. Then your interview and photoshoot with the magazine is scheduled for the evening and after that is your dinner with the governor's son at–”“When do I get to see Ethan?” Isabel butt in with a tired sigh, leaning away from the makeup btush so that the artiste would stop. She stared at her assistant's reflection in the mirror. “Excuse me ma'am?” A few lines appeared on her smooth face, confused.“I’d like to visit my husband in the evening.” Isabel was slightly irritated at her nonchalant behavior towards matters concerning Ethan. She could tell that he was treated like he wasn't an important aspect of her life. “I'm sorry ma'am. It's just that more important matters were already lined up for the day.”“More important matters?” Isabel twisted her body so she could face her assistant actually. “I believe you're aware of his critical situation

“Thanks man!” Jenner gave the young dude with blonde fluffy bangs a flirty smile before driving away.Tony stretched a portion of the order to Drogo, who was at the backseat with his shopping bags of groceries beside him. “Hope you aren't full?” Tony added. Drogo collected the bag, not wanting to create further conflict between them by rejecting the burger and fries ordered for him.“Look, I hold nothing against you, buddy. You were simply acting under directions, and if Ruby doesn't hate me more than she already does, then it means you've done well to keep your mouth shut.” Tony bit into his burger and nodded his head approvingly as he chewed. “And I'd like it to remain that way.”Jenner parked the car at a curbside so she could dig into her own portion of burger and fries. “Is that why you coerced me into the car? To keep shut. The only reason I have not mentioned you is because there's simply no reason to bring you up.” Tony said in a harsh tone and a frown to express his disple
The Son-in-law's Revenge Best Position
“I believe you're in the best position to tell me why the heck your mission failed!” Simon said to Tony through gritted teeth, a lit cigarette in one hand while he glared at Tony with dark immensely displeased furious eyes. Richard was on the other seat beside Tony but with the way Richard had positioned the chair, it looked more like he was seated opposite. As I'm directly in front of him. His expression was rather expressionless. One couldn't tell whether was as pissed as Simon but he didn't look amused even the slightest bit. They were in Simon's office in Otto Holdings.Tony on the other hand, had a shadow of amusement cast over his face. His eyes twinkled as he rotated the chair slightly lft and right, clearly not giving a hoot about Simon's emotions.“Let me think for a couple of seconds? Why did the mission fail? One two three… oh I don't know. It was all going perfect until an intruder, someone from the outside who happened to know what was going to happen showed up.”“What

“It's so good to know you'll be returning home tomorrow morning.” Ruby laid a hand on her father's shoulder and applied a little pressure, barely perceptible.“You sound like as if you have someone waiting for me at home.” Her grandfather guave her a knowing look and Ruby did a half eye roll,.the product of stopping herself from.dkimg a complete eye roll as she sighed. Here we go again.“Isn't my girl beautiful?” He turned the doctor who nodded in agreement.“Indeed, she is sir. She would find no trouble attracting someone's son.” The doctor smiled and scribbled something on small notepad. “See!” He looked at Ruby like he had been telling her this ages ago and she had refused to believe him. But Ruby knew where this was going to and decided that to avoid prolonging the conversation, it was best if she said nothing. Whether she agreed with him or not. Ruby had learned from several similar conversations from the the previous times she had allowed herself to be lured into an argument i
The Son-in-law's Revenge Where's Jen
Bratté managed to snatch a nurse uniform from the storage room, changing out of her trench coat, to blend in with the rest of the hospital workers. Although no one seemed to notice a thing was off, Bratté was still nervous. Her wrung hands were enough to show just how much. Her phone vibrated against her skin in one of the square pockets causing her to jump slightly. She smiled sheepishly at one of the nurses who walked by without even glancing at her as she brought out her phone. It was a message from Jenner containing the hospital room's number and the situation. According to he message, the room was free meaning there wasn't a doctor or nurse on duty checking his vitals. She clicked her phone off and returned into the pocket. Her hand slipped into the second one, clutching the slender cylindrical object. She pursed her lips and swallowed saliva. She was doing this for herself. Despite her moistening back with beads of nervous perspiration oozing out of her pores, Bratté allowed h

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
