The Useless Son-In-Law Is The Overlord 45
Mister Sandstone yells in horror as soon as he hears that. “No! No! No! I worked hard for everything I have! How dare you give everything to her?!” He asks. “I have worked for decades, you can't do that! I will fight against this with my lawyers! I am a citizen of this country, I have rights!”“You have violated the rights of so many people and that has nullified any that you had in the past.” General Dante says. “Everything you own will be stripped off you and then you will be thrown into the hardest prison for the rest of your life! Officers, take him away!”Mister Sandstone threatens, begs, cries, but no one listens to him. They take him out of the room as he kicks and begs to be given a second chance. After he has left the room, one of the soldiers comes back in. Apparently, he has hurried away to draft some documents for Mrs Sandstone. Casper Romanoff has left with the other, he has offered to show the soldiers every hidden property that Mister Sandstone has. He is doing thi

Jasper is shocked as he did not expect such a request from her. He hates Andrew too. The man made him wear a cast because he broke his leg and Jasper himself even tried to shoot the man once, but it's a whole different thing that she is asking him to ask his cousin to kill Andrew. “Babe, I think you need to think about this for a minute.” He holds her hands. “The faster Andrew Carter leaves this world, the better for all of us.” She hiss. “I don't know who he thinks he is. If he had come and beg at my feet, I might have helped him, but he is so poor and arrogant! Every time I see him, he comes up with a new way to embarrass the Sanchez family!” “But you know that my cousin is sly. He is going to ask for money.” “So, you want to tell me that I'm making a mistake in planning to marry you?” She fires at him. “Are you so broke that you don't have the money to give your cousin?” But it's not like that for Jasper. His father is a little bit strict about him keeping contact with his tr

Adriana can't believe her ears when Jasper breaks the good news to her that Andrew has finally been captured. She runs into Jasper's hands and gives him a very big kiss. “Finally! He thinks that he can get away, but he can't.” Jasper is very proud of himself. He had also wanted to get rid of Andrew Carter and Adriana is also happy. That will speed up the marriage process by far. “Preston has offered for us to come and watch while he gets killed,” Jasper says. “What?! This has got to be the best day of my freaking life!” Adriana rejoices. “I'm going to put on my best clothes and shoes!” She gives him another kiss as she goes into the room and tries to come up with a very good dress for the occasion. “Did he get that bitch, Ruby, too?” She asks. “I would love for her to go too. I would like to spit in her face too.” “Yeah, I'm sure he did,” Jasper says. “Grandfather is going to be very glad.” Adriana is very happy. She will also take up the Augustus Bruno contract from Ruby. S

“Hey, you can't do that! Don't touch me!” Adriana tries to protest, but Alex is a tough woman and she ends up pulling off the dress off Adriana. Even the shoes, they were everything that used to belong to Ruby. Ruby had great taste and her wardrobe was fascinating. So Adriana had her eyes on it since and immediately Mister William Sanchez kicked Ruby and her family out, she made Ruby's wardrobe hers. Now, she is standing in front of almost fifty people in nothing but her underwear. She thinks that the men are going to look at her lustfully, but none of them do. They don't care, they just hate her and her bad character. “This is wrong! This is madness!” Jasper pulls off his jacket and puts it on Adriana, to cover her nakedness. “I am going to get every one of you killed!” Adriana threatens. “Do you even know who I am? What you have done? And as for you, Andrew, when I am done with you, even your fake soldier friends won't be able to help you!” “Damn, the bitch still runs her mou

The teacher goes home and completely forgets that she spoke very rudely to a parent, which the school takes very seriously. When she goes to work the next day, she is in a jovial mood and holds her cup of coffee in her hand. She meets one of the security guards at her classroom door, which is very unusual. “Hello, Steve.” She greets. “Miss Hawk, one of the members of the Fairchild family wants to see you.” Her heart skips a bit. The only time she met the Fairchild family was when she was being hired and she knows that if she ever sees them, it's because she is getting promoted or fired. She decides to take it in a good light and thinks that it's a promotion. She sets her bag down and then goes to the big hall, where she is supposed to meet with them. She is very surprised to see Uma, Andrew, and Miss Fairchild standing there, waiting for her. She puts a smile on her face as she draws closer to them. “Good morning, ma'am, good morning, sir. Uma, good morning to you!” “Miss Haw

50. Tina pulls the trigger and it is shut with such a precision that it only lightly grazes the side of her cheek, taking off some skin, but that was just it. Adriana is shaking as she just saw her life flash before her eyes. She touches her face, feeling the wetness of her blood. She knew that this crazy lady would have killed her if she wanted. Tina is still pointing the gun at her, she still has her hand on the trigger. “Are you seriously going to kill your wife's cousin?” Jasper yells at Andrew. “Tell her to drop her gun. Hey, I said drop that gun!” Jasper tries to take a step, but Tina has her eyes red with anger. He immediately swallows a gulp and takes a step back. She is not to be messed with. “Tell me, Jasper, what's going to happen if Adriana suddenly vanishes? Will you go to the police and tell her that she paid someone to assassinate Ruby and me, what's going to happen?” “You don't have a single proof of that!” Jasper says. “Oh, I do.” Preston smiles. He takes out a

Jasper can't believe his ears. Adriana worked her ass off to get that contract and they are going to throw it all away?! “That's madness, you can't do that!” Jasper protests. “Mister Banks, you are not even part of this family!” Thomas shuts him up. “I'm afraid, but I will have to agree with my brother,” Nate says. “And Adriana, where is she?” “It was an emergency, she had to just travel very quickly!” He lies.“Why hasn't she been picking up my calls?” Mister William Sanchez asks. “I don't know, but she will be back soon!” Jasper is staring at Andrew, but Andrew is not even moved. Nate Sanchez is sitting back and enjoying it. He had waited for this moment for a very long time. He has been helping to run the family business for decades now, but his father refused to retire and make him the official owner. He was very happy and even contributed to getting Thomas and his family kicked out, but he was outraged when his father, Mister William gave Adriana a promotion and refused to

As soon as they get to the house, Thomas takes out the bottle of wine that he has been hiding for some time and pops out the cork. “This is the day that we have been waiting and praying for!” Thomas rejoices. “Ruby now has a job and our life is about to get better!” Doreen hugs Ruby very tightly. Her eyes are filled with tears, but she quickly wipes it away. “But what about Mister William Sanchez? He didn't protest about it, but he didn't look happy.” Andrew points out. “Yeah, he probably isn't happy about it, but if I do this job well, he will have no other choice but to add me back into his team.” Ruby says. She passes a glass of wine to Andrew and kisses him on his cheek. Thomas is so happy that he plays some music and with the aid of his walking stick, he starts to dance with his wife. Ruby and Andrew stand by the side, watching them with happy smiles. “I'm very proud of you,” he says to her as they look at her parents. She leans against his shoulder. “This wouldn't have

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

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
