The Unconquerable son-in-law

Chapter 5

Mason steps out of the supermarket. He can hear his colleagues laughing and mocking him on his way out. They are excited that he's been fired and out of their workplace. Mason scoffs out in annoyance and walks on the street. 

Where is he going to start from? He has three hundred and eighty dollars to pay by month's end. His wife collects hundred dollars from him after getting his salary. And he takes care of himself with fifty dollars. Now that he has been sacked from the only job that he does, how is he going to survive? 

If Bella gets to know that he has no job which she will know for sure, she and Stella will surely chase him out of his house since he will be of no use anymore. He will be of no use to them anymore and they will chase him out of his house. What should he do now?

Should he go over to the man who lent him money and start working as his servant. Since he can't pay the money because he has no means anymore, he should probably start working as his servant to pay off his debt. That man saved his life and it would be ungrateful to stand him on. 

Even if he still had his job with him, Mason knows he wouldn't be able to repay his debt. And again, Mason can't go back to the house. His wife will suspect and ask him what happened? It's better if he stays out till night then he can tell her in the morning or later on that he has been sacked.

When he still lives alone in his house, when he hasn't impregnated that witch, he could go home anytime, peacefully not worrying about someone nudging him. But Bella and Stella invaded his own house and turned themselves into the owner while making him a stranger and tenant in his own house. 

Well, he brought this upon himself and he has to pay for it. He has to live with it till he pays for his sins. His sins of lying to Bella and impregnating her. He hopes that the Lord will forgive his sins and change his life for the better. But for now, he will endure. 

An advert paper flew by him. He picked it up as the paper was on his feet. He sat beside a wall and read the content of the paper so as to kill boredom and wile away time. It's a new company's advert. 

Mason sat upright when he caught a glimpse of the content. It said that he will be given one million dollars with a system which will track him and give him instructions on what to do. 

He must spend the money between three days. Failure to do so, he will be faced with outrageous consequences. A consequence that wasn't mentioned in the paper. But if he succeeds in spending it, they will transfer the same amount of money to him which he will spend at his own accord. 

Mason read it over and over again to be sure of the context. Then he checks out the company which indicates that it is a new company. Should he do this or not? He wonders as he stands up from his position. The people passing by are staring at him with contempt and disgust because why will a normal human sit on the street. 

"With how this is going, I hope they won't call the mental hospital on me to declare me mad." Mason said, chuckling at his own words. He's right. People, passersby look at him like he's mad because of his clothes and way of dressing. He doesn't have the money to buy good clothes as Bella takes most of the money. 

Mason looks at the advert once again and wonders whether he should agree to it. He can finish it. He knows he will be able to pass except if complications come his way. There are so many things he desires and wants to buy. Should he agree to this and go for it? 

He sighs and checks out the address. He gets a nearby address and walks towards it. He is going there to agree and get the system that will give him instructions on what to do. This will be fun and exciting. 

"I will do this. I will try it out." He mutters to himself and walks towards the shop. 

"I'm here to register for this." Mason said, handing over the paper to the girl he met on the computer. The girl looks at him from up to down before she gives him a smile. 

"Good afternoon, Mr…?"

"Anderson." 

"Mr Anderson." She greets him and collects the paper from him. She gives him a book and opens a certain page. "Write your name here and sign, please." Mason nods and takes hold of the pen, signing. 

"Hope you read the requirements and what you are expected to do." She asks him.

"Yes, I did." Mason replies.

"And the part which says you will be punished if you can't spend it all." The lady asks again. 

"Yes, and the part which says I will get the same amount in my account if I pass." Mason replies to her with a smile.

"Mr Anderson." The lady laughs as he finds him funny.

"You know, you have to focus on the good side." Mason added with a chuckle and is proud of himself that he makes a lady laugh. 

"Okay." She said and brought out a package. She handed the package to him. 

"That's the system. It will direct you on what to do." She says,

"But, this is a phone package." Mason says, checking out the package. 

"Yes, it is. It is an iPhone. Siri will direct you on what to do." She says with finality and Mason finds his way out. When he gets out, he walks towards a corner and finds a place to sit. Then he tears the package and brings out the iPhone. He turns it on.

"What can I do for you?" Siri speaks immediately when it is turned on. It seems the phone is programmed already.

"I'm here to register for the game." Mason said back to Siri. He can't believe he is talking to an AI and he can't believe he is holding an iPhone.

"You are welcome. Please input all your details here. The game starts immediately when you input your details." Siri informs him and takes him to where his information is needed. 

He inputs his name and account number with regular information. He agrees with some rules. It is stated that the money will be sent to his credit card account as he will have to spend it for a specific time not keep it. 

Mason smiles happily and knows this will be fun. Real fun!

His phone beeps in his inner pocket and he brings it out immediately. It was an alert! Money has been sent to his account and he is expected to spend it immediately.

"Some money has been sent to your account. You are required to spend it before the end of today." Siri says. "Your mission starts now." Siri added.  

Mason hand shakes as he pocketed his phone back.

"Yes Siri. The game starts now." Mason whispers and stands up immediately.
