The Useless Son-In-Law Is The Overlord 101
Andrew's parents were both successful lawyers and after working for so many years, they decided to venture into other businesses. One of their most successful businesses was the bank they built, called Gold ways bank. It was one of their most successful businesses, but when they started having children, they sold huge parts of the shares and decided to concentrate more on the children. Andrew totally forgot about the bank, not until Mister Ventura just randomly mentioned it. “Oh, you mean the Gold Ways bank? You know it was rebranded and all that. There are so many businesses that it's hard to keep track of them nowadays.” Mister William Sanchez says with a small laugh. Mister Ventura laughs and they all return back to the party. Adriana keeps her nose up in the air, as if she is too good to be speaking to Andrew and the rest. “Stay at the back, know your place,” she hits Ruby and overtakes her. She has forgotten how she would have been arrested in Barbados, if it wasn't for Ru

Everyone has their jaws on the ground, they cannot believe that Andrew's phone is actually ringing. He takes it out of his pocket and ends the call, a triumphant smile on his face. “Uh, that doctor would bex.” “What the hell? You said that you weren't a Doctor!” One of the ten residents says. “I'm not, and that's the ironic part. I'm just really skilled, but I never got the certificate.” Andrew shrugs. “But still more sorted after than you lots.” The magnificent three just bows to him. If he is recommended by their mentor, that means that he's a very great doctor. “Please, sir, we are going to be your assistance.” The leader of the magnificent three says. “Please, we will follow your need.” The residents can't believe that the man that they embarrassed and treated badly is the doctor that is going to operate on the VIP patient. Even if they would like to operate on him, they can't. The case is too complicated for all of them combined, but one man is about to do it. “How are y

It has just finished raining, it was a heavy pour down that fell through the night and into the morning. Finally, it's over, giving the whole place a fresh feeling, as if God gave it a thorough wash. Andrew has contacted Saint and asked him to meet at the family house. Andrew doesn't go there all the time, but he needs to discuss a few things with his brother. He wants his brother to see where they grew up. Neurology is one of his many specialities, so he is thinking of a way to bring back his brother's memories. Tina drives up to the house. She has accompanied Andrew many times, but this is the first time that she is actually driving to the driveway. She turns off the car and they both step back, but she remains by the car. “When he gets here, ask him to walk in immediately.” Andrew goes into the house. She stays there for a few minutes and then Saint appears with a cigarette hanging on his lips. She still hasn't gotten used to the idea of having him around, so she feels a st

It's illegal to release fireworks and Mister William Sanchez knew it as well as the millions of people in the city, but he was desperate to impress Mister Ventura, so he ignored the many steps he needed to take to get the permission to display fireworks and just went ahead with it. He has been arrested and now Ruby has called to inform him, the whole family has turned to panic because Mister William Sanchez is the Patriarch of the family and he is so old. He might be a terrible person, but they don't want him to die in prison. Andrew insists on driving to the army base himself. Tina doesn't go with him, maybe someone would be able to recognize her. He hasn't been to the army base here because there wasn't a need for that. Most of them are lowly rank, it's only the top officials that might be able to recognize him. He walks into the place and Ruby rushes to him. She looks so stressed, Andrew doesn't know why her and her parents are too affectionate to a man that doesn't like them a

“What?!” Everyone is thrown off by the drastic change of the army's decision. Nate and Adriana can't deny it, there is evidence before them. “That's not true, I didn't have anything to do with it!” Adriana clutches her chest as she defends herself. “You guys are ridiculous! Why would I accuse me of such?! I am an honest man from an honest family!” “Please, don't even try to argue. We have all the evidence we need and we are going to take you all away now. This is a serious case and you are all going to spend a very long time being punished for this.” The soldier tells them. Adriana bursts into tears, she doesn't want to go to prison, she has been there before and she hates it so much. The soldiers handcuff them, they are taking them away. Andrew is allowing this to happen because he wants to teach Adriana and Nate a lesson. They have disrespected Ruby and her family too much. That's why he did this. Ruby has a good heart, she seems to be worried, from the look of her face, A

Everyone is shocked, they immediately rush up to their feet to acknowledge the anonymous partner. The screen of the iPad is showing Ruby's face, but the place where the anonymous partner's face is supposed to appear, it's blank. Ruby too can't help but bow. She can feel herself shivering and thank God that she didn't even know that he was watching her. She would have simply crumbled to the ground and she wouldn't have been able to do anything. “Well, done, Miss Ruby. You have done such a great job with the project that was handed to you. And you also did it in a very short time.” She doesn't recognize Andrew's voice, she would have been able to point out his voice in a room full of hundreds of men, but Andrew's voice has been altered with the help of some technology. “Thank you, sir.” Ruby bows. “Thank you for also trusting me. I'm glad that you like my work.” This has got to the height of her career, this is the proudest that she has been she wishes that her parents can be her

Andrew watches his brother in confusion. Saint is standing with his back turned, he is standing very still, trying his hardest to hide his face from Mister Ventura. What a small world! Who would have thought that Mister Ventura is the mystery person that saved Saint from the fire. He is the reason that Saint is alive, but that could also mean either that Mister Ventura is a savior, or he knows a lot about what happened to their parents. Andrew looks from his brother and the back to Mister Ventura. The man is approaching them with a smile on his face. What is Andrew going to do if he recognizes Saint? “My amazing doctor!” Mister Ventura praises Andrew. He shakes his hand warmly and gives him a hug too. That's when Andrew turns around. The tension on his face is gone, he looks at Mister Ventura with a calm smile and waits for Andrew to at least introduce them. “And you brought a friend!” Mister Ventura smiles as he shakes Andrew. “It's so nice to meet you, Mister Ventura. I'm his

There is a secret that Henry Jackson has been holding in his heart for the past four years now. He met a woman. She wasn't anyone special, she was just someone he used to satisfy his sexual needs. He was never in love with her, he found it very hard to love anyone after his wife, the mother of James died. After the one night stand he had with the mystery lady, he paid her a hefty sum, he didn't want her to contact him, but she found his assistant's number and begged to speak to him. Turned out that she was pregnant. He wasn't interested in her child, he asked her to have an abortion, but she told him she was having twins. He thought it was crazy, but he accepted the pregnancy and took care of her bills, without anyone knowing. She gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, and God, he cried when he saw the kids. He was very happy, but couldn't bring himself to tell James, or anyone. He kept it a secret and was looking for the right time to tell James. Unfortunately the time never ca

When James was sixteen, he disturbed his father for months because he wanted his first tattoo and his father said no. He didn't give up, he did better in school, he cleaned up, he did everything so that his father gave him the chance to get a tattoo. Henry Jackson wasn't a fan of tattoos, in fact he hated them. They were tacky and he preferred a smart appearance for his son. He was going to take over his father's businesses someday, Henry didn't want him looking like a canvas with graffiti on it. But when James wasn't backing down, he decided to get one, but under the condition that he was going to pick the location. He picked the side, across the ribs and he did that because it was typically one of the most painful parts of the body to be tattooed. He did that because he wanted to discourage his son from getting any future tattoos. James took the pain like a champ and when he became older, he got several more. It's that same tattoo that he is staring at and he knows, without a d

Everyone is shocked as their eyes follow Andrew to the front. The Sanchez family seems to be having a heart attack. They think that Andrew is walking to the front to disrupt the wedding. Mister Thomas rushes to the front, charging at Andrew, but before he gets to them, two soldiers restrain and tackle him to the ground.“You dare you?!” The angry soldier asks. “Oh, sir, was trying to clear the fool from disrupting the wedding. The anonymous partner is going to be here soon and I don't want him to encounter this nuisance.” Thomas says, shaking with fear. The scowl on the soldier's face grows even more. “THAT'S the anonymous partner, you fool! How dare you lay your hands on him?!” Thomas' jaw slacks even more. It's like a complicated math equation, because he can't understand the words that just came out of the soldier's mouth. Andrew is the anonymous partner?! And the overlord? The greatest commander of the army?! Is this a prank?! Is this a joke? Well, if this is a joke, it's

It's been five days and Henry has not heard from his son, James. It's normal for James to just give himself a sudden vacation and organize on orgy on one of those exotic islands, but the usual thing is that he never called his father. His father has tried to get people to track his son down to the last location and his phone, but it doesn't sum up to anything useful. It's like his son has disappeared into the thin air. He is on the phone again, looking out of the window of his office. “Are you trying to tell me that you can't help me find my son?” “Sir, it would have been easy to track him with his phone, but we have not been able to see any sign of him.” “So, what are you saying?” “I hate to say this, sir, but I think that maybe your son doesn't want to be found.” “That's absurd. James wants nothing more than to be my heir. He would never run away like this. Something is wrong.” Henry insists with a sad tone. “But sir–” “I won't be taking no for an answer. Do your research a

On the day that Jasper is buried, the sky is gray and there is a heavy pour down. That doesn't stop the family, friends, and loved ones to come and pay their last respect to Jasper Banks. His coffin is white with golden rims. There are so many flowers and even their bright colors are not enough to lift the depression that is everyone's heart. There are over two hundred people there and that's because there are security guards around to keep the occasion strictly based on invitation. Everyone else is across the street, watching with sorrow. The minister is soaked to his bones. His Bible is drenched with praise, but that doesn't stop him from raising his voice high and declaring that Jasper is now in heaven. Everyone is quiet. Jasper's parents are standing right in front of the coffin and their calmness and dried eyes tells that they have not recovered from the shock of the death of their son. Occasionally, a voice breaks into loud sobs and stops, only to repeat. It's Adriana. She

They are all standing in shock – Adriana, James, and Ella too. They all know about the overlord, he is the greatest force in the army. Even the president of the country respects and holds this anonymous man in the highest esteem. He is feared everywhere around the world. He is a great man and they are all in awe of him. But surely, this has got to be a big joke! Andrew Carter, the useless son-in-law, cannot be this big and important man! And being the anonymous partner?! The person who has turned the Sanchez empire upside down! How can he be the same person that is standing in front of them?!Adriana is the first to laugh with her shoulders and her eyes squint with humor. “This has got to be a joke, right? I'm supposed to believe that Andrew Carter is suddenly a very important person?” She scoffs. She soon learns the hard way because a soldier angrily uses the butt of his gun to hit her behind her knees and forces her to fall to the ground. She grunts with pain as she falls on
168
Because Adriana has forced them to, they spend the next hours in the living room. In absolute silence. Jasper’s body is on the ground. Scarily stilled by death and Phil thinks he is just imagining it, but Jasper's hands have turned a dull gray. Maybe his spirit is moving around the house, staring into their faces and shaking his head. Uma has kept her eyes away from the body. She is traumatized by what she has seen and would probably have to go to therapy for it.Adriana has lit a cigar again. She has smoked up to four in just a few hours and she doesn't look like she is slowing down any moment soon. She just killed her fiance and she threatened to kill her cousin and niece. She needs all the nicotine in those blunts to calm her down. She is waiting for James again. She hopes that he comes very soon. She hears a car drive up front and she immediately jumps up to her feet. “Look alive, people. James is finally here.” She turns around and sees that Uma has tears stains on her fa

Adriana is shocked. They were very discreet with their movement, how is it that Jasper has found her?!He breezes past and she is too shocked to stop him. As soon as he enters the house, she shuts the door before any more attention can be drawn to them. She looks far from pleased to see him. The city is a long way from here. How did he even find her? He is looking around, straining his neck this way and that. It's as if he is expecting the kids that he is accusing her of kidnapping to pop out of nowhere. “What the hell are you doing here?!” She asks him. “You have gone so low, Adriana. You are now kidnapping children?” She scoffs and folds her hands with the likeness of a scolded child. “You have no idea what you are talking about, Jasper.” “Oh, don't lie to me! I've known you for too long, I can hear you lying right in my face!” He scowl at her. “What the hell do you take me for?” “You know, I've been trying to tell myself that you haven't changed that much, but I will be ly

Phil forgets that he is a very sick person and has picked up smoking over the days. He has never been a smoker before, he just picked it up because he was depressed and needed something to calm him down every now and then. He heard Ruby mentioning that she was busy with work and might find it hard to squeeze out time to pick Uma up from school. Thomas and Doreen have been very busy lately. Since the anonymous partner made his intention towards their child known, they have suddenly become important in the Sanchez family again. They used to be sidelined and ignored, they used to be rubbished and insulted, but in just a few minutes,they have turned into those that they once hated. They barely spoke to Phil, it was like he became one with the walls. He is not relevant to them anymore. At least Ruby asks how his day is going every now and then, but Thomas and Doreen are just as bad as William Sanchez and Adriana. They have gotten high positions in the company. It's going to become
