The Son-in-law they never wanted Light sleeper
~ Courtney ~ I was waiting for Donald and Clara to go for the dinner night so I can lock the doors and retire to bed. It's been a long day especially with Clara around. I watched as she came out of Donald's room dazzling and I felt a little bad for myself. I've never dressed like a real lady. Then Donald came out and looked at Clara, I was expecting him to complement her beauty or cloth or anything instead he turned to me. "Be my date Courtney" he said. My heart stopped beating for a second. "What?? Me??" I asked in surprise while Clara glared at me "Yes, please be my date" he said more confidently. "Ohmahgawd, I can't" I said quickly. Clara smiled triumphantly while Donald looked down defeatedly. Just to wipe the smile of Clara's face, I looked at Donald and smiled so sweetly. "On a second thought, I'll be glad to be your date." "No you can't. I'm his girlfriend not you." Clara blurted out angrily. I eyed her down" give me a minute, I'll

Courtney The first thing I did when we got home was pack her belongings from Donald's room. I unlocked the door and found her sleeping with an angry look. When you're asleep, aren't you supposed to be an angel? It's the exact opposite for Clara. Even in her sleep she looked like the devil that she is. I put her luggages beside the bed and closed the door. I couldn't sleep all night, I kept tossing and twisting on the bed, having a bad feeling in my mind. I yawned tiredly and freshened up, keeping the dress I bought yesterday in a box on my wardrobe then began my house chores. "What are my luggages doing here?" Clara yelled from her room and I happened to be in the hall way. "That'll be your new room Clara" I replied. "You don't call me Clara, you call me madam and you can't tell me what to do in this house, my house" "I only respect those who deserves it and you don't also, last I checked Donald and I own this house. The only difference is he pays the b

~ Clara ~ I woke with a weird feeling, knowing something wasn't right. I looked around in my new room, nothing seemed out of place. I laid my head on the headboard and noticed the note sticking out from it. The first thought that ran through my mind was "is he around?" ~For the safety of my boss~ What does that mean? Guess I didn't have to think long cause I saw what it means. I picked up my phone and made a call. "What do I do? She's frustrating me. Things aren't going according to plan" I said to the person on the other side. "I guess she isn't call bossy maid for nothing then." He chuckled "You can cook for them" he added suggestively. "What do you mean cook for them? You want to turn me to their maid? Even Donald isn't really looking my way anymore" "That's why I said you should coooook for both of them. Either way he must be out of the picture so the companies can be transferred to me. Do your job well and I'll pay you generously" I smiled hap

~ Clara ~ I don't understand why I was feeling unwasy. The poison I put in their food should be taking effect now. I glanced at Donald and found him sweating. It has started work on Donald but why isn't anything happening to Courtney? "Let's celebrate!" I said and poured wine in their cup "Cheers to new beginning" I added smugly "Yeah cheers" Courtney clicked her her with mine while Donald was scratching his neck. "Oh, I hope you don't mind" Courtney cut me out of my reverie "I switched food with yours. I was craving for beef "so I switched food with yours since it had beef" I dropped my spoon with a clang and beads of perspiration former on my forehead instantly. I ate the poisoned food. The first thought that ran through my mind is getting the antidote. Thankfully, I always carry a poison healing herb with me. I stood up quickly and ran to my room, still in daze. That explains the uneasiness I was feeling. Damn them if they are suspicious of my
The Son-in-law they never wanted Cold room
Courtney I couldn't take it anymore, it's not good to repay bad with bad. I turned on the heater and went to her door, "Clara" I shouted her name and knocked. "I'm not opening the door for you. I won't let you do anything to me. Did you really think I was going to forgive you and leave Donald? Hell no girl, you're just dreaming" she replied from the other side. "Are you okay? You ate the food meant for me" I replied instead. " Did you think I would come unprepared? You're a real bitch" I shook my head and left the door, I can't continue listening to her rants at least she's okay. CLARA I woke to the cold room. That must have been what woke me up. I wanted to go out and turned on the heater but I can't risk meeting Courtney or Donald so I stayed put and rubbed my arms together to generate heat. The cold gradually went down and the air was back to normal then I heard a knock on the door. My heart skipped a bit, "Clara" I heard Courtney shout a
The Son-in-law they never wanted Who needs more
~ Courtney ~ I couldn't sleep, how do I tell Donald his uncle wants him dead? I stood, watching him sleep. His uncle is supposed to come today, he has to wake up. Feeling suddenly tired, I scooted my chair closer to his bed and laid my head but not before I head the front door open so close. One problem gone, a bigger one coming. I allowed myself to close my eyes and sleep for a while. The first rays of sunlight hit my face, waking me up. I sat up and met myself on the bed. I remember laying my head on the bed not sleeping on it. I looked to my side, Donald was nowhere to be seen. "Donald!" I screamed and jumped off the bed. "Shush....your scream can wake the dead" I heard his voice coming from the window side. I breathed out in relief and frowned "aren't you supposed to be in bed?" Donald I woke up with a slight headache and looked around. A towel was sitting on my forehead and Courtney was sleeping in an uncomfortable way. I sear

~ Courtney ~ "Courtney, I'll be right back. I need to visit the store" Donald said wearing his jacket. I snapped out my reverie "No Donald, don't go" I blurted out. He looked at me questioningly. "Uh... I-I me... mean you are... aren't o...kay yet" I stammered. "I've never seen you stammer, it looks good on you" he winked "don't worry, I'll be back soon. Take care of my Unc." He left. "Won't you give me a hug?" Simon asked opening his arms. I shuddered and walked back to the dining then put the food I had dished out close to me. "Let me guess Nora, my cousin doesn't know about our relationship" "We have no relationship" I took a huge bite out on the toasted bread. "I see you have stopped this eating habit of yours, are you that unhappy to see me?" I ignored him a continuing eating, I drew the second place closer. "Don't worry, we'll continue from where we stopped. I really missed you." he trailed his finger on my arm and went to the room Clara
The Son-in-law they never wanted Uncle
Donald Why does the atmosphere seem sad and heavy? Why is Courtney crying? She looked gloomy ever since she saw Uncle. "What are you thinking about?" Uncle Simon's voice asked behind me. "Nothing, I just feel something is wrong. Courtney isn't herself" "You don't have to worry about that, she might remember something from her past and feel sad about it?" "Ohh really" "Don't worry, she'll come around soon." He patted my shoulders easing me from my worry. "Let's go prepare something to eat since bossy maid has finished eating our meal." Courtney I twisted and tossed on my bed, I wish this was a dream I could wake up from. I sat up quickly when I saw a figure standing beside my door. The person moved closer and stealthily like a cat. "I really missed your body" the person said. I stood up in annoyance, ready to scream when I heard the voice. "I wouldn't do that if I were you" Simon said and came closer to where I was standing.

**** "I don't understand you" I continued when we entered the car "if I'm to be treated like a queen, why are you driving when we have an entire entourage behind us?" I asked "Because I'm treating you like a queen, durh" "I'll think of you as my driver then" I smiled satisfactorily. "I have a very juicy news" he licked his lips. "I can see it's really juicy for you to lick your lips, did you taste the juice?" He glared at me and concentrated on driving. Knowing him, I knew he would continue talking. "My three year old girl is dying to see you. She even decorated her bedroom and expects you to share the room with her" he said admiringly. "I knew she would always be smart, smarter than her father who paid an entire entourage to accompany us home" "It's was her idea, so that means I'm smarter" he bit his cheeks to surpress himself from laughing. "Wow that's so smart of her, she deserves a medal." I replied wiping the smile off his face. "Hmph.." he

Five years later, Courtney I stood at the arrival terminal in the airport, looking for my ride home. I had travelled to Europe for college with the help of Div and Donald and graduated with an upper class in law. I specifically chose to major in law so I can lend my voice to those that are voiceless. I saw a flag raised up with the name CounterKnee. I shook my head and walked to the person who was busy chatting away on his phone with a big smile on his face. I smacked him on the arm "Didn't I tell you not to call me CounterKnee?" I playfully glared at him. "What do you expect me to do when I miss you so much?" He grinned at me "Should I blush now or what?" "None, a hug will do" I hugged him tight "it's been five years" "I know right, it feels like yesterday and it also feels like ages ago" We disengaged from the hug and he collected my luggages from me, leading me to sleek car and I noticed an entourage. "Please don't tell me you hired

Donald "I knew something was up with that Uncle of yours. I never liked him." Mum said after I narrated everything to her. "I still can't believe he tried to kill me and Courtney." "I haven't told your father about it. You mentioned Div just now?" "Yeah, he's the one that helped" "That's new, the Div I heard about is cruel and he's a Drug Lord." Mum explained. "A drug Lord? Courtney got herself involved with a drug Lord? Is that why the police man saluted to him" "Maybe..... I'll head over to the police station. They should wrap up the case, we aren't making any charges. He's dead, we don't need to mention his case in court." I shrugged and eyed mother who was staring at me with mischief. I went over and hugged her tightly. "About Courtney" mum started. "Don't even go there mum..... don't" I disengaged from the hug and flashed her a grin then went to the kitchen where I met Flynn and Eva cooking. It was a sight to behold. "We're sorry,

"What contract you signed with mother ends today, I'll give you the money" My heart plummeted down, I wanted the money for college so I can't rent an apartment till I apply. "I want to work for my money" I argued "No, you've worked enough. I'm going to sponsor you to college and you can always consider this place as home" I wanted to raise my head and look at him. He pressed my head back against his chest "No don't look at me" "Thank you" I said with so much sincerity. "You deserve it CounterKnee" " Sorry to break you guys up, but what the heck happened?" Another voice said "Mum" Donald cried out, not masking the surprise in his voice. His mum?!

*** He stared at me as if he couldn't believe what he was wearing and pulled me into a hug. I let myself be hugged and relax in his embrace. It's finally over, we conquered our nightmares. "Know the first thought that crossed my mind when I saw you?" He asked, his chin resting on my head. I shook my head negatively against his chest. "Who's this fierce beautiful petite lady with wild chestnut hair who isn't afraid of my cold aura and broke through, now I have a warm heart willing to love." "What do you think when you see now, after you know, everything?" I asked "Wow, my bossy maid is one hell of a strong woman, beautiful and fierce at the same time, selfless too. She's one of the people I hold dear to my heart now." I blushed, surprised someone still thinks of me as beautiful. "What contract you signed with mother ends today, I'll give you the money"

ourtney ️ I watched helplessly as the policemen took Div away. "I'll be okay and probably be back in the night" he said as they took him away but that didn't alleviate my worry. Killing Simon was self defense, the police should know that. Seeing I wasn't convinced "what about bringing your flowers this night?" I smiled and nodded in agreement. After he left with the police, an ambulance came to carry Simon's corpses and I was asked to vacate the room without cleaning as they need evidence. I packed my belongings and moved them to Donald's room. I sat on his bed, reminiscing. Simon is really dead, my nightmare is gone. It still felt surreal. Donald entered and sat quietly beside me. "I'm so sorry Nora, I'm sorry I didn't believe you" he pleaded. I looked at him and placed my hands on his, "If I were you, I wouldn't have believed a stranger over my blood too so I'm not angry."

Shocks
Donald I entered the room and stood in shock as I watched Uncle fall slowly to the ground with a strange man holding a gun. I glanced at Nora, she was holding a gun too. Where did she get the gun? "Who the fuck are you?" I wanted to ask but the words died down in my mouth when I saw her run to the strange man. For a moment, my heart surged with gratitude towards the strange man. He save Nora. I didn't mind that Uncle is dead, after all he had been planning to kill me too. "Who are you?" I wanted to ask again but the police men interrupted this time. They looked at the gun in the strange man's hand and Simon's corpse. "You are under arrest sire" The police man saluted before talking which only made me more curious. Who exactly is this man standing here??

*** After I killed him, she ran over and hugged me, surprising me completely. My sister was the only person that could hug me, here, another person is taking her place. I hugged her back not caring about the person behind me who should be the owner of the house. Hugging another person after a long while felt good and refreshing so I held on to her, not worried about the blood seeping into my clothes. "B-bo-boss" Jeff stammered. "Just kneel and raise your hands up till I come back and clean the mess here" "W-where are you going?" "Police station." Just as I said it, a batch of policemen entered fully armed and took in the state of the room including the kneeling Jeff.

Do or die
DIV While I asked Jeff to stay guard of the house, I also stationed two more people. When I got report that Simon was heading to her room and destroying things in his bedroom, I knew he was going to do something other than having sex with her this night. So I got into my car and drove as fast as I could. I told her I won't let his blood stain her hands and I'm a man of my words. I'm not going to let her go to jail because of him. I couldn't protect my sister then and she's going to be angry if I don't help Nora. I entered in time to see him choking her and her pulling the gun I gave her out. I stood, watching the entire exchange, waiting for the right time to make a move. When he pointed the gun at her, I pulled my gun out and was about shooting. Then she threw the lamp at his hand, aiming perfectly. She picked the gun quickly and made to aim. I took action then and killed him. From my research, the Simon of a man has about twenty more people in ca
