The Son-in-law they never wanted A connection
*** *** *** RYANI clenched and unclenched my fist. I don't understand why this was bothering me. I shouldn't care if her friends are talking her out to divorce right? It would be a gain on my part and it's nice that they are looking out for her but whoever this Zara Chun was, I don't like her. "You look like a statue." Alina commented, staring at her phone. I didn't say anything, I just stood up, took my coat and made my way out."You're sleeping out?""Just going for a walk." I tell her, and closed the door, shutting it a little harder than I intended. My phone vibrated in my pocket, I took out and read it. It was a message from Asher."Big News boss. We should meet."Yeah, I agree with him. We should definitely meet and talk.A public space would do, where people will pay less attention to us."Train station, in thirty minutes. " I texted back.I didn't know I would be going far, which means I'll have to trek since I don't have any money on me to board the bus.*** ***Asher

You literally just got out of prison hours ago!" "Yeah, so?' Ryan asks, "Are we questioning me now?""You need to catch up on rest Boss, your days in the pris...""My days.." Ryan cuts in, his voice tight, "My days in the prison are nothing.""Oh.. okay Boss.""You are visiting a thrift store, you can't follow me around like this." Ryan commented, "there's a thrift store two blocks away, go there and wait for me, I'll join you." Asher lowers his head in acknowledgment and walks out of the station. Ryan watched the retreating figure of Asher, his mind was getting into a mess and he needs a distraction.Either ways, who the heck is Zara Chun??*** *** ***"I'm outside." Ryan sends a text to Asher, "Aren't you done yet?" He added.As if on cue, Asher comes out of the thrift store, looking like a model straight out of a

*** *** ***Asher knocks on Justin's door, trying but failing to hide his unhappiness. His boss is yet to return his wallet. "Who's it?" Justin half yelled, coming to the door. He opens it and eyes the two strangers on his front porch, his eyes lingering on Ryan more., "How may I help you?"Ryan leans off the rail he was resting on and enters the house without waiting for Justin's invitation."Let's talk." He told Justin as he passed the door, his voice commanding."Heyy! Young Man!!" Justin yells after him.Ryan sits on a sofa, making sure he was seated comfortably then gestures to the chair in front of him, "please sit."For some unknown reason, baffling to Justin, he obeyed.He bawled inside, why was he obeying a stranger in his own apartment."Where is your wife?" Ryan asks."She went to the grocery store. Who are you?" "Ah.. I see." Ryan commented, ignoring his question. "You were the last person see with Doctor Thomas before he was found dead with a girl by his side."Ju

*** *** *** "Should I keep a tail on him just in case?" Asher asks as he walked beside Ryan."There's no need for that." Ryan scoffs, "He won't be going anywhere.""We can't be too sure...""Did you see him in there?" Ryan queried."Durh.... Yes. I saw both of you perfectly. How come I have never seen you threaten anyone before. Should I be scared of you?"", Yes, he was squeamish. He has something to hide, all the more reason to put a tail on him." Asher said instead, keeping his thoughts to himself."He says he has an alibi, so he's gonna stay to prove himself.""Oh.. okay boss."They continued walking in silence, neither saying talking except Asher throwing glances at Ryan occasionally. "I need you to do something for me." Ryan says. "What's that?" "Find Zara Chun for me." "Zara Chun? As in the model?" "Ah.... She's a model?" "She just flew into the country few days ago.""Is that so? I need whatever information you can find on her for me.""Did she do something?"Ryan's

"And now, the Morbians have claimed their rightful place back while that New company is going back to where it belongs. Morbian and Co is a force to be reckoned with.

Harry is locked in his office, they were able to leave the hospital unnoticed and now, he is standing in front of the family house. "You have a call." Devin announced, interrupting Alex's train of thoughts. Alex frown at him, "Who is it?""It's an unknown number and the person wouldn't say who they are. They ask that I give you the phone.""They?" Alex frown deepened, "Are they plenty? What if it's the media?""No it's not. The person is using a voice modulator, so I can't really decide on what gender they are.""Oh, is that so?" Alex mutters, collecting the phone from him."Hello." He said into the phone, "Alex Morbian.""You sure sound different, happier maybe." The person from the other end chuckled."I'm sorry, who are you?""Ouch Alex, you just hurt my feelings.

*** *** *** Asher and Ryan stood in an uncompleted building, staring straight out into the city, not saying anything to each other. "You don't have a wallet on you?""No." Asher grumbled, "The one I had was borrowed. So I keep money directly in my pocket.""Here." I stretch his wallet back to him, I wasn't going to keep it because if Alina sees it, she would become suspicious and that's the last thing I need."A.. are you sure?" He asks, "You don't want it?"He snatches it quickly, suppressing a smile."Thank you boss.""So.. Ah.. I see everything is going according to plan with the company.""Yes.... It has fallen back now." Ryan nods in approval. "I found out something interesting boss." Ryan raises his eyebrow, "What's that?""Alex is diagnosed with Hemoptysis and his Doctor was Thomas Jnr.""Was?""Yes, after he and the doctor met in the detention center, he immediately cancelled his treatment session and went to a Doctor Harry.""At a detention center?"

Devin pursed his lips, If Alex continued this way, no doubt he is going to lay dead in days."Hand over my phone, let me send her a message to meet me up or wherever she wants me to pick her up." Alex said, collecting his phone. "From what I've seen, it won't work that way with her.""Well a man got to try, yeah?"He sends a message to Alina requesting for a meet up. "She's read it!"

**** "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
