The Useless Son-In-Law Is The Overlord 83
Everyone is shocked that the rich fashion mogul is bowing down to someone as common as Andrew. She is so humble in front of Andrew, she is bowing so deeply even though she has aged so much and the act would probably put some strain on her back. Her bodyguards stand around, keeping their hands behind them as if they are soldiers. Doreen and Ruby are shocked, why is this woman bowing to Andrew? Has she mistaken him for someone else? Layla throws her head back because she is very sure that what's happening is nothing more than drama. “Oh, this is funny. Can someone get Auntie Helen her glasses? Aunty, are you really bowing to this man? This filthy man?” But Ms McQueen keeps bowing to Andrew. This silly Layla doesn't know this, but Helen McQueen has known Andrew for a while now. Years ago, she was flown hurriedly out of the country within ten minutes of her being informed. She was to hurriedly dress a top military officer for a military dinner that was happening in a country in Asia

Adriana makes Jasper drive her to the airport very early in the morning. He still looks sleepy as he drives her to the airport. She is going to take a commercial flight because she has lost her privilege to use the family's private jet. She kisses Jasper goodbye as she makes to get out of the car, but he stops her. “Have you forgotten that you are supposed to have dinner with my mother today? The discussion about the wedding has to start. She is very excited…” “Jasper, if I don't have a job, there might not be a wedding! Tell your mother that I went out of the country for work. I will be back soon and I will meet with her,” Adriana walks out of the car. “Wait!” Jasper goes after her. He holds her around her waist and looks into her eyes. “Promise me one thing. Promise me that you will not sleep with another man.” Adriana is disgusted by why he has said she pulls her hand away from him. “Why would you say such a thing, Jasper? I am not a whore, I just want my grandfather to giv

Mister Edwin moves away from her very quickly, but the deed has been done. It didn't dawn on him that it had been a trap the entire time, not until it's very late. “You bitch! You set me up!” “What?” Adriana scoffs as she folds her hand. “Did I tell you to me and try to rape me?” “You are crazy! I didn't do any of that to you!” “It's all there on camera, Edwin. Let's see how well you will be able to deny it.” He has been caught red-handed, there is nothing that he can do to save himself. Mister Edwin feels his heart racing and he is immediately covered with sweat. He takes out his handkerchief and wipes his face. The handkerchief now looks like it was dipped into a bucket of water. That's how much he is sweating. “Did someone jealous of me, my career, set you up to do this?!” He asks. “How much did they pay you to ruin the career of a good man?!” “Oh, don't be silly, Mister Edwin, you did this to yourself.” Adriana snarls. “Stop trying to deny it or blame it on someone else.

“Andrew, we cannot go to Barbados! Do you know how much it would cost? I know that I wanted to make you a nice small dinner, that has been ruined now, but we can still try!” Ruby begs. “I don't want you to stress yourself for us.” Andrew laughs under his breath. He knows that the family has been through a lot and if they deserve anything, it's to go on a vacation. He is rich enough to afford it, he is worth billions, even if they don't know it yet. “Come on, Ruby, it's going to be for a few days and with everything that everyone has been through, I think that it's a great step for us.” He says. But even Doreen doesn't get it. There are some times that even a loaf of bread is luxury to them and Andrew is suggesting that they fly to Barbados?! “Andrew, you have said so many crazy things, but this has got to be on the top of the list! Do you know how much it costs to fly to Barbados?” Andrew smiles at his mother-in-law. “Mum, don't worry about it. The army was very generous to me
The Useless Son-In-Law Is The Overlord 87
As soon as Adriana sees Ruby down, she knows that the entire family is with her. How were they able to afford a vacation here?! Did they steal Mister William Sanchez's money? She rushes down. It would be a grave sin if she doesn't allow them to see her. She wants them to fall on their knees once they see her. She wants them to beg her so that she doesn't ruin their lives by telling Mister William Sanchez that they stole his money. Once she gets out of the bitch, she catches the bright orange kimono that Ruby was putting over her bikini. She follows the bikini to the bar and when Ruby turns around, she almost drops what's in her hand. “Oh my God, Adriana! What are you doing here?” She laughs to cover her shock. “I should be asking you that, Ruby. What are you doing here, because the last time I checked, you couldn't afford a trip here.” Adriana folds her hands. She waits for Ruby to start to stammer with guilt, but Ruby only smiles. “I'm telling you, Adriana, even I didn't think t

After Adriana stole from Mister William Sanchez, he made sure that he took all her debit cards and every bit of money she had. He didn't give her anything for her to travel to Barbados to try to get Mister Edwin Fedelis. She used what little savings she had and Jasper had to buy her tickets, to and fro. Now they are saying that she has broken an expensive bottle of wine, but she doesn't have any means of paying. It's embarrassing that it's happening in front of these people that she despises, she feels very humiliated. “Hey, are you the manager?! Then why are you speaking nonsense about something that you didn't even witness? The stupid waiter was the one who bumped into me!” She defends herself. “Madame, I didn't bump into you. It was due to your carelessness that the bottle fell on the ground, we can check the cameras if you try to deny it.” The waiter says. “It's unfortunate what has happened –” Thomas says, but he is cut off. “Uncle, I am capable of handling this by mysel

Andrew feels like everything has come to a stand still inside of him. His brother, who he thought perished in the fire with the rest of his family, is alive. He has been living with the burden of grief for five years and there are many nights that he struggled alone in bed with the thought of being alone in the world. That was before Ruby and Uma came into his life. Hearing that his brother is alive unlocked something in him, something that he didn't know has been stiff for a very long time. He takes a deep breath in, taking out the cigarette from his mouth as he looks at Tina. This is not a prank, he knows that she would rather die than play such an expensive game with him. “Tell me the truth, Tina. My brother can't possibly be alive. We had an accident, they were all shot, I was the only one who escaped.” Andrew says. “That's what we all thought, sir. But you were not the only one to survive. Your brother was able to get out and we gave video evidence too…” They get into her c

Once he gets to the house, the place is already surrounded by over fifty soldiers who are armed with guns. The normal security guards have been dismissed, this is now a job that is greatly beyond them. The head of the soldiers sights Andrew approaching and immediately gives the signal for the gates to be thrown open. “Salute the overlord!” Every soldier salutes immediately.

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
