*** *** ****"Ryann!""Ryann!"Ryan stood there frozen, the sound of his name distant to him, even though Asher was beside him. "Boss!!" Asher tapped him.Ryan blinked back to reality."Do you know what you are trying to say here?" He asks, pointing at the papers."That Olivia is possibly your step sister? Trust me, you are not as shocked as me but it's the truth, I looked into it well before I brought it to you.""Do you think she knows?""I doubt she even knows are biological father is dead. She doesn't know anything.""Whoa.""Are you both through with gossiping now?" Eleanor butts in. "No.... Go back." Asher snaps at her."Let's go visit Olivia."

The Son-in-law they never wanted They'll suffer
Ryan's pov Ryan felt a mix of emotions: anger, shock, and sadness. He had always thought of his mother as a strong and independent woman, but now he was learning a different side of her. He wondered if his father had known about the affair and His father probably must have not found out else their relationship would have been a strained relationship.He would confronted his father with what he had learned if only his father were alive. Something deep down told him, his father had known about the affair but kept it a secret to protect his family's reputation. He wondered how his father must have felt when he found out.How they tried so hard to keep it from him, something he doesn't appreciate. If he had known, at least it would prepare him for today. He understands a a little boy wouldn't hurt to know his mother's sin but he when he grew up, they didn't think about telling him anything.Ryan was torn between his love for his parents and his disappointment in their actions. He n
The Son-in-law they never wanted I was there
Ryan's pov Ryan was determined almost like a detective, always seeking the truth and justice for the victims. So, when Thomas Snr was found murdered, he knew he had to catch the killer. Questionings and searching for the answers, all the evidence pointed to Alex.Ryan knew that this wouldn't be an easy case. Alex was cunning and had a way of manipulating those around him. However, Ryan was determined to bring him to justice. He dug deep into Alex's past and spoke to anyone who had any information about him."Asher, get me everything you can on Alex"I ordered "Boss, anything for you. I have a detective whom I know, he's very good at this" Asher answered "Very well then, I'll be waiting" I answered and thing up. "We will see what you're up to, Alex" I thought, grinning. As Ryan delved deeper into the case, he realized that Alex was not just a simple killer, but a mastermind behind a larger criminal enterprise. The murder of Thomas Snr was just one small part of a much bigge
The Son-in-law they never wanted Grand pa Tony
Eleanor... Terrible way to put an end to the life I had. Now, I won't get the chance to stalk or spy on Ryan and Alina as I wished, all thanks to grandpa Tony. Dinner at the extended family's household was pretty much like dinner in any other large household I had ever known:Everybody talked at once—except of course for Sleepy, who only spoke when asked a direct question—and nobody wanted to clear the table afterward.I made a mental note to call grandpa Tony and tell him he’d been wrong.There was no advantage, that I could see, in having brothers: They chewed with their mouths open and ate every single Poppin’ Fresh bread roll before I’d even had one.After dinner, I decided it would be wise to avoid my room, and give Jesse plenty of time to make up his mind about whether he was leaving with or without his teeth.I’m not a big fan of violence, but it’s an unfortunate by-product of my profession. Sometimes, the only way you can make someone listen is with your fist. This is not
The Son-in-law they never wanted Gone
*** *** *** * Old Ryan * When I climbed into the Rambler car at the end of the day, Doc was all over me. “Everybody’s talking about it!” Asher cried, bouncing up and down on the seat. “Everybody saw it! You saved that guy’s life! You saved Bryce Martinson’s life!” “I didn’t save his life,” I said, calmly twisting the rearview mirror so I could see how my hair looked. Perfect. Salt air definitely agrees with me. “You did so. I saw that big chunk of wood. If that’d landed on his head, it’ve killed him! You saved him, boss. You really did.” “Well.” I rubbed a little gloss into my lips. “Maybe.” “God, you’ve only been at the place one day, and already you’re the most popular girl in area!” Asher was completely unable to contain himself. Sometimes I wondered whether a slap might have been the answer. Not that I didn’t like him. In fact, I liked him best out of all of other boys-which I realize is not saying much, but it’s all I’ve got. It had been Asher who, just the nigh

Alina's pov I have no idea how long I lay beneath the planks of wood and heavy clay tiles of the crumpled breezeway. Looking back, I realize I must have lost consciousness, if only for a few minutes.All I can remember is something sharp hitting me on the head, and the next thing I knew, I’d opened my eyes to consummate blackness, and a feeling that I was being surpressed.A favorite trick of some poltergeists is to sit on their victim’s chest while he or she is just waking, so that the poor soul feels he or she is being suppressed, but can’t see why. I couldn’t see why, and for a second or two I thought I’d failed and that Hayley was still in this world, sitting on my chest, torturing me, getting her revenge for what I’d tried to do. Then I thought, Maybe I’m dead.I don’t know why. But it occurred to me. Maybe this was how being dead felt. At first, anyway. This must have been how it was for Heather when she woke up in her coffin. She must have felt the same way I did: trappe
The Son-in-law they never wanted The Greens
Alina's pov My phone pinged, it was a message and it read, "The Greens, 08:00 hours,I have something for you" It was from a stranger. I wasn't, of course, going to meet him. I mean, despite ample evidence to the contrary, I am not stupid.I have, in the past, met various people at various appointed times and found myself, hours later, either tied to a chair, thrust into a parallel dimension, forced to don one-piece swimsuits, or being otherwise cruelly mistreated. I was not going to meet Paul Slater after work. I was so not. And then I did anyway. Well, what else was I supposed to do? The lure was just too great. I mean, actual documented evidence about mediators? Something about people being able to take over other peoples bodies?All the nightmares about long, fog-enshrouded hallways in the world were not going to keep me from finding out the truth at last about what I was and what I could do.I had spent too many years wondering just that to allow an opportunity like this
The Son-in-law they never wanted Jon
Alina's pov "Hello beautiful" A voice greeted. I had decided to go to the Greens as the stranger kept sending messages to her. I felt the blood in my veins run cold.I knew that voice. Knew it only too well. The man who owned it had tried to kill me once.“It’s him,” I whispered. Unnecessarily, of course, since Jon obviously knew perfectly well who it was. Jon stood up and moved from the shadows that had cloaked his face. He wore an expression, I was relieved to see, of intense distrust. He was starting to believe me now.“Who’s there?” he called, lifting the lantern and turning a knob that brought what had been a tiny flame to a more powerful one.The man below said something in Spanish that I didn’t understand. Except for the last two words. And they were easy enough for even me to decipher.Felix Diego.This is it, I thought. There was no going back now.Jon said something in Spanish to Diego, who replied in tones that, though I could not understand the words he spoke, sounded
