The Son-in-law’s Supremacy 5 | He is your father
On a bed with crisp white sheets and a thin pillow under his head, Alex lay there unconsciously as he was in a small, quiet toom. The scars he got from the assailants hitting him were evident, even the scar over his left eye. He had been in a coma for nine months and luckily, the fisherman who rescued him took care of him, along with a country doctor. The silence in the room immediately got broken by the noise of chickens clucking loudly outside the room. Alex stirred from his sleep as the chicken's cluck disturbed his sleep. For the first time in nine months, he opened his eyes and moved his fingers. Finally conscious, he found it difficult to recollect, focus or bring himself to recall how he got to the room. He could not even remember who he was or why he was in a room. He felt like he was a newborn baby that had graduated from college recently. And then, he tried his best to piece two and two, or to remember anything but still, his mind was in a blank state. Confused and scared,
The Son-in-law’s Supremacy 6 | Returning to the city
Alex shrank back as Emma glared at him like a mother scolding her son. “You heard what I said, didn't you?” Emma scolded and Alex replied, “Yeah, but you don't need to yell at me like that. I promise you, you will get back to school soon,” Emma smiled and she pats his head slowly, “Better...you can come to check on the chickens and pigs now,” she spoke before turning around to leave the room. “Sure, Mum!” Alex replied sarcastically and Emma turned back, facing Alex with her eyebrows furrowed like the sharp claws of a bird. She opened her mouth to speak, then she stayed mute, crossed her arms, and pouted, “Whatever,” She walked out of the room, a little annoyed while Alex stared at her in surprise. He could not remember anything, but he certainly believed Jack’s explanation after his encounter with Emma. “Funny sister...” Alex muttered to himself as the room became silent. He pushed the bed sheets off his body and he stood up to check the house. He walked gently out of the room an
The Son-in-law’s Supremacy 7 | My Alexander?
Stepping off the train, Alex and Emma were welcomed with the blaring of car horns that emitted an unpleasant noise. Slow, sweet melodies mingled with the unpleasant noise as Alex looked up at the street performers. “Finally, we are here, Emma,” Alex cooed and a smile formed on Emma’s face. She eagerly walked away from the train as she sniffed the aroma of freshly brewed coffee. “Hmm, the rich aroma...“ Emma mumbled quietly and Alex chuckled at her dramatic excited self. He turned around to gaze at the crowds on the sidewalk who rushed toward their destination, and he sighted Jack. “We can't continue to stand under this hot sun just for you to admire the city. It's very hot out here, you know?” Jack spoke quickly and Emma looked up at him as she studied his facial expression. He looked tired and sweat dripped from his forehead like it was raining sweat. Emma nodded sweetly and she obeyed him. They continued to walk down the lane until Jack stopped. “Dad, are you alright?” Alex excl
The Son-in-law’s Supremacy 8 | Ten million dollars
“Great!” the call recipient exclaimed on the other end of the call as his voice brimmed with excitement. He briefly glanced at the glimmering Graff Diamond Hallucination on his wrist as he peeked at the digits displayed.“Rob, meet me at the villa immediately.” The call recipient demanded.“Understood, boss!” The thug’s leader replied before the call ended.Following their leader’s orders, the thugs swiftly reverse their vans as they race toward the luxurious villa, passing by a magnificent water fountain that added a dominating aura to the air.Rob quietly entered the grand villa, as he locked his eyes on the tiled, golden floor with the word ‘REX’ customized on it.“Aren’t you supposed to be here?” A middle-aged man’s shrill voice echoed, shoving Rob to rush toward him.The middle-aged man had brown shoulder-length hair, and he wore an expensive grey suit that fitted his healthy-sized body. His legs were straddled as he sat in a golden wheelchair that was adorned with a large, cust
The Son-in-law’s Supremacy 9 | Expensive Gucci bag
In a small restaurant near Jack’s new apartment. Alex sat in a peaceful area, far away from the soft music the waitress played. There were only a few patrons in the restaurant, and it was very quiet. With a cup of water placed before Alex, he sipped slowly to bid his time until Jack returned with the apartment key. Without a way to unlock the door or contact Jack, he relied on patience. The rich scent of freshly brewed coffee filled the air as it tickled his senses, but he had no money to afford them. He contented himself with the water he had managed to obtain for free. Amidst the peaceful atmosphere in the restaurant, the door swung open, accompanied by a subtle and luxurious fragrance that enveloped the air. Bella walked in majestically, dressed in an elegant Gucci attire, as her group of female friends followed her closely. They decided to dine at the small restaurant after Bella had deceived them with positive feedback about the restaurant’s food. Deep down, she wanted to avoi
The Son-in-law’s Supremacy 10 | Fat envelope
The next day, Alex got hired in the same hotel Jack worked at. It was very exhausting as he walked home slowly with Emma after school closing hours. Surprisingly, their apartment’s door was opened ajar and the locks were broken. Alex strode cautiously toward the apartment to see who broke in. To his utmost surprise, he sighted Rex in a golden wheelchair without recognizing him. Meanwhile, Emma adored the golden wheelchair as she gaped at the muscular escorts who stood behind Rex.“Whoa,” Emma mouthed, breaking the silence in the room as it attracted Rex and his escort’s attention.“You came…” Rex muttered, his voice filled with emotions, while Alex became confused and instantly furious. He couldn't understand his emotions himself, but he managed to bring himself to question Rex. “Why did you break the locks and come into our apartment unannounced? Are you all burglars?” Alex questioned, his voice filled with anger.“I was so eager to see you and I could not wait in the car anymore, s
The Son-in-law’s Supremacy 11 | I want you back in the villa as my son and true heir
The sun beat down persistently, it was a scorching summer afternoon.Working on the hotel’s terrace, beads of sweat dripped down Alex’s forehead. He glanced at Jack’s phone to check the time Emma would return from school.“She should be home. It’s her school closing hours already,” Alex muttered to himself, and just then, a message popped up.It was from Emma’s class teacher, informing him that she had dropped Emma off at their apartment, knowing that Alex and his father were busy with their menial jobs.Alex glanced at Jack. “Dad, Emma is home already,” he spoke, before dropping the mop. He had to leave the hotel quickly, to prepare lunch for Emma since she preferred fresh meals over the hotel’s leftovers. “I’m done cleaning, and I'm pretty hungry. Let's go home together,” Jack suggested before pushing the mops into the storeroom. He locked the storeroom then they both departed from the restaurant, before striding to their apartment. The scorching sun increased its power, and they
The Son-in-law’s Supremacy 12 | Please just leave Alex to me
The night passed away like a soft sigh in the darkness. Jack’s mind kept pondering on what Alex told him the other night. He didn't have a good sleep as he became restless and tossed on the floor.Each toss was accompanied by a deep sigh as every minute felt like an eternity to him. A part of him wanted to tell Alex that he wasn't his father and his other self wanted Alex all to himself. All these months, he cared and adored Alex like his own son, he couldn't afford to lose him to the people who hurt him. Immediately the sun rose, Alex had gone to take Emma to her school while Jack pretended to have a throbbing headache. He picked up his phone and dialed the number that had warned him not to phone the police, hoping Rex would answer the call himself.The call abruptly stopped ringing as someone answered it.“Mr. Rex, please, let's meet at my apartment. I need to talk to you about Alex,” Jack muttered and a shrill voice replied. “Will be there,”A few minutes later, a fancy black car

119 | Right decision
At Evelyn’s villa, the maid escorted Fiona to the living room, and Fiona reached there, waiting for Evelyn patiently. As soon as Evelyn reached her side, Fiona approached her and muttered, “I need to talk to you.” “Alright, have your seat,” Evelyn responded, gesturing toward a nearby couch. Hastily, Fiona sat on the couch, and she spoke, “Ma. Evelyn, you need to listen to this recording. It is a conversation I recorded between Mrs. Bella and I.” As soon as she completed her statement, she played an audio she recorded which revealed how Bella intended to kill Daisy and have the entire empire to herself. Fortunately, Fiona didn’t follow Bella’s orders because she understood how it would feel if she was in the victim’s shoe. Also, the other time she injected a fluid into the IV fluid bag that was connected to Alex, it was the normal fluid she was supposed to inject. But, she pretended like it was a bad fluid, just in case Bella had a spy that was watching her. “Gosh, I knew she wa

“His entire empire?” Fiona mouthed, dumbfounded with Bella’s plan.“Yes. Now, get back to work,” Bella rasped before ending the call. She took a peek at the maid approaching her with a glass of juice then she gazed at her warily, recalling that the maid was always around her whenever she received a call. As soon as the maid placed the glass of juice on the table, Bella smiled, and she picked it up. She pretended to take a sip from the juice, and she got engaged with her phone.Meanwhile, the maid walked to a corner that had no CCTV camera, and she pulled out her phone to dial a phone number.The phone number was nicknamed, ‘Boss, Thomas.’As soon as Thomas answered the call from the other end, she narrated everything she heard quickly, while Thomas chuckled at Bella’s plan.After the maid completed the narration, Thomas instructed her to continue her work and he ended the call swiftly.Pushing her phone into her pocket, the maid turned around to leave, but what stood before her fri

“You have been diagnosed with liver cancer,” Diana explained, approaching his bed with steady steps.She pulled out a chair, pushed it towards Alex’s hospital bed and she sat on it.“Yes, Grandma Evelyn told me today,” Alex replied softly, his voice sounding weak and slow.“As your primary nurse, I will advise you to have more rest.”“Alright.”“Also, be careful. Something fishy is going on with Bella, but thank goodness, Fiona is the doctor taking care of you. She is more trustworthy than Doctor Ben-” Diana uttered, then she paused upon realizing that Alex’s eyes got shut.“I will leave you to rest then,” she uttered. She understood that he had fainted, and with his present condition, he needed more rest. So, she moved away from the chair, intending to leave the ward.Just as she was about to leave, Fiona walked in with a fake smile on her face, and her hands were dipped in her lab coat’s large pockets.“You must be working very hard to make him better,” Fiona muttered, gazing at Ale

Diana’s stomach clenched with worry as she absorbed Bella’s statement. Slowly, she released her hands from Bella’s collar with a web of worry lines forming on her face.“You let Daisy be in that condition because of your greed. Don’t you have any soul?” Diana asked, causing Bella to huff and straighten her blouse.“No, you are the one who allowed her to be in that condition. Stay away from Alex and I will stay away from your family. Also, you should visit your daughter at the hospital. She needs her mama,” Bella spoke sarcastically and she walked away with her head held high.Just then, Diana’s anger turned into concern, and she rushed out of the villa, intending to meet Daisy who had been admitted to the hospital.***“Ma. Evelyn, the CT scan reveals that Alex has liver cancer, and thank goodness we found out earlier; otherwise, it could have been too late,” Fiona uttered, causing Evelyn to gasp in shock.“But he will be treated as soon as possible, right?”“Yes,” Fiona replied with
115 | Ma. Evelyn’s return
Evelyn’s statement rang in Bella’s head and she stammered, “What?” with her body trembling at the statement, ‘Get rid of her.’“Guards, you should do your job or you will be fired. Meanwhile, Diana and Fiona should follow me,” Evelyn instructed and without a second thought, Bella moved away, being aware that the guards would definitely obey her.Immediately she moved away from them, she shot a glare at Diana, then, Evelyn, Diana, and Fiona walked away. Meanwhile, Bella was stunned by Evelyn’s actions.She didn’t expect Evelyn to visit the villa, or instruct the guards to get rid of her, especially when she is Alex’s wife, and his soon-to-be mother of his children.Just then, the same maid who repeatedly poured a liquid into the glass of water she offered to Alex passed by, with a tray and a glass of water.However, Bella spotted her and her eyes widened in shock.“Gosh, not now!” She muttered to herself, then she stopped the maid immediately. Dismissing the guards, she turned to the

“Though, you are very lucky. It will be easy to get rid of your allergy since it’s only been a few months,” Bella uttered, and she leaned forward with a smirk playing on her lips, “I know you love Daisy, Iris, and Melissa so much, so do this for them.”Afterward, the smirk on her face was replaced with a fake smile, and she leaned back, “You will do it, right?”With that, Diana’s eyes turned red as tears threatened to stream down. Earlier, she had decided to keep the baby and convince Jeffrey, but now, Bella is threatening her with her family.“Yes, I will do it,” Diana replied.“Alright, I will send a car to pick you up tomorrow. Then, we will get rid of your allergy,” Bella replied tartly, and afterward, she walked out of the restaurant.As soon as Diana watched her leave and her car sped off, Diana reached for her phone and she dialed Alex’s phone number quickly. But unfortunately, Alex could not answer it. He was in a wheelchair, sitting motionless as he stared into space in the

Knock!Knock!“Sir, I brought the painkillers,” the maid uttered in a soft tone. Afterward, Alex instructed the guards to allow her inside, and they obeyed. The maid walked in quickly, then she offered a glass of water and the painkillers to Alex.As soon as Alex took the painkillers, and the glass of water, a smirk played on the maid’s lips and she excused herself.***“Mr. Alex, you are alright,” Doctor Ben uttered swiftly, causing Alex to approach him.“Really?” Alex inquired.“Yes, we ran a CT scan and everything is fine,” Doctor Ben replied with a smile on his face, then he paused before muttering, “Sir, did you notice any negative symptoms?”“No, no. Since you said that I’m alright, then, I am,” Alex responded, causing Doctor Ben to bow his head.“I should take my leave then,” Doctor Ben spoke politely, and Alex waved his hand quickly as a sign of dismissal.Afterward, Doctor Ben left the room, while Bella walked in majestically.“So what did he say? You are fine, right?” Bella

Jeffrey’s voice rang throughout the room, causing Melissa to mutter softly, “Please, Daisy is here.”“Yes, mother-in-law,” Jeffrey replied calmly, while Alex walked out of the house, with Bella trailing behind him hastily.“Get into the car, we are leaving,” Alex uttered tartly.“What?!” Bella exclaimed, “We are here, now... You want us to leave?”“Yes,” Alex replied firmly.Meanwhile, in the dining room, Diana returned and she was a bit surprised to notice Alex and Bella’s absence.“They left,” Jeffrey uttered after he sensed her surprise.“Oh,” Diana replied, before her gaze fell on Melissa who had a worried expression on her face.“Are you alright?“ Melissa inquired with concern tinged in her voice and Diana responded with a nod, “I’m fine.”“Maybe you should consider seeing a doctor... You know, it might be a kind of disease or so,” Iris suggested quickly, causing Melissa to nudge her elbow and stop her from talking.“Sure, I will,” Diana replied, then she turned to her plate.Inw

“I’m worse? Oh, come on, what can be worse than a mother abandoning her biological daughter?” Bella scoffed, then, when she noticed that Alex tried to stand again, she rushed towards him and she placed his arm around her shoulder.She helped him to his room, and afterward, she returned to the dining room to confront Diana who watched how Bella assisted Alex to his room.“What are you doing here?” Bella inquired, folding her arms quickly.“I came to meet Alex,” Diana responded, then, she moved to the other side to walk away, but Bella blocked her path.“You can’t. He is fast asleep,” Bella hissed.“Then I will wake him... It’s something urgent I need to talk about,” Diana mattered, before walking past Bella hastily.“You have no shame at all...” Bella hissed, making Diana pause in her tracks.“First, you abandoned your daughter at an orphanage home, then you deprived her of the parental love she deserves-”Before she could continue her statement, Diana replied, “Yes, I did! But now, I
