The Useless Son-In-Law Is The Overlord 90
It's crazy because it takes less than five minutes for the news about Frederick's attempted assassination. Frederick is one of the most protected men in the city and yet someone had the mind to try to kill him? Andrew immediately smells something fish and calls Tina to come and pick him up in front of the Sanchez headquarters. He doesn't waste any time, he makes a quick phone call and orders for Frederick to be heavily protected. 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. Tina drives right through and they get into the house. The sitting room is filled with doctors and there are a few bloody pieces of clothes on the ground. “Where is Frederick Car

The entire city is waiting to hear what has happened to Frederick Cargo. His team has advised that he stay out of the public eye till the day of his press conference. Tina has been around too, because she has to keep protecting him, and the soldiers are there also. Even though Frederick is confined to his mansion, that doesn't mean that it would feel like a vacation for him. He has to work from home because he is a very busy man. Tina just hangs around her own laptop, working. They barely say more than a handful of words to each other. Everyone is going smoothly until the door opens widely as someone storms into the house. It's Frederick's ex fiancee, Eve. “Where is Frederick?! I'm not leaving this house until he grows the balls to speak to me!” Tina frowns. Visitors are not allowed at the moment, they have to keep the threat at minimum, so why is a woman barging into the house? Tina doesn't know that she is his ex-girlfriend. She assumed that he was single, but he never said a

Tina holds on to Frederick's arm as she desperately finds a way to escape. She saw the guy pull a gun and follow behind them. “Are you sure that it's the guy?” Frederick asks. “Maybe you are just being paranoid.” She knows that her instinct is never wrong. “I'm trying to save your life, Mister Cargo, don't try so hard to die!” She turns around and seeing that the elevator is not available, she takes the stairs. It's a long way down and they are running as if their lives depend on it, because it does. As they run, they hear the door open and it's like a mighty thump in their hearts. He is drawing close! Tina takes her phone out and texts Andrew. He has to know that the assassin is attacking them again. As soon as they get to the exit, they run into the parking lot and try to find somewhere to hide, or at least to get to their car.

He has been very worried for his brother, he thought that his baby brother was in danger, being tormented by some evil people, but here is his brother being an assassin. He takes a step back and runs his hands through his hair. Andrew is never taken by surprise very often, but this is one of those rare occasions, and this is one of them. “Saint?” He calls out. His brother looks at him through very angry green eyes. Andrew remembers those eyes as vividly as the feel of his tongue against his teeth. He remembers those eyes squinting as Saint stuck out his tongue at him from the other end of the dinner table. He remembers those eyes. He remembers seeing Saint in the car before it tumbled and he blackout, only to be pulled out by Ruby. He thought those eyes were gone and now he was looking at them? “Saint?” He calls again, but his brother doesn't respond. It'

Andrew walks into a room and turns on the light. The room is empty, except for a chair right in the middle. Saint is tied to the chair. He was formerly tied with ropes, but he has snapped out of those as if there were threads. Andrew instructed his boys to tie him with chains, they are the only thing that seems to be strong enough to keep Saint down. Andrew has no intentions to hurt his brother, but his brother is a very dangerous man. As soon as Saint sees Andrew walk into the place, he starts to pull at the chains. He wants to free himself so that he could kill Andrew. “Those chains are pretty strong. Even for a man like you, Saint.” Andrew says. “How the hell do you know my name?” Saint growls. “Is this a fucking prank?” It hurts Andrew each time Saint proves that he doesn't recognize Andrew. What happened to him? Why has he become this way? Andrew pulls the only other chair in the room and he sets it right in front of Saint, and he takes his seat. Saint keeps pulling at th

Saint doesn't trust Andrew, but Andrew has told him things that he knows that are true. He might not trust Andrew because he thinks that he is a mysterious person, but he knows that Andrew has the answers to the things that he wants to know. The clothes are delivered and Andrew waits for Saint to take a bath and change into the clothes. He looks more responsible, as if he is not a cold villain. “There, now you look presentable.” Andrew nods at him. He walks out to the car they get into. “If this turns out to be a trap, I could kill you.” Saint warns. Andrew sighs under his breath. The death of their parents and little sister did something to them. Now they are scared and paranoid for the entirety of their lives. Andrew drives back home, the drive is quiet as they don't have anything to say to each other. They have a lot of things to talk about in reality, but maybe not today. Saint slightly frowns when he sees that Andrew is driving into the poor part of the city. “Don't tell m

Even though it came as a surprise, everyone is glad that they are going to come have some nice meal at a good restaurant. It's not every time that they get this opportunity and they are very thrilled today. The place only takes guests strictly based on reservation, but because of how rich Saint is, they allow them in. Even though no reservation was made beforehand. They even get a table at the VIP section. As soon as they are seated, they get the menu and start to order the food. The mood is very light, their family is growing, Saint is warming up to them. He is very particular about Uma. He likes her a lot because even though he can't recall his memory of his sister and mother, he is drawn to Uma. She is sitting next to him, talking to him as if she has known him all her life. Thomas, on the other hand, can't help looking at Saint's expensive watches and the others. Why didn't his foolish daughter end up with this guy? “So, Saint, where do you live?” Thomas asks. “I recall tha

97. The man feels as if a heavy suitcase has been dropped on his head, but it's just Saint slamming his head over and over again into the mirror. Even after the mirror has been shattered, Saint keeps on going. The wall behind the mirror is now covered with blood. The other man is shaking so terribly that the chattering of his teeth can be heard. If he could disappear into the wall, he would have done it. He is covered in sweat and he is regretting why they came here in the first place. “You want to sleep with her, huh? Don't you understand that when a woman says no, it means no!” Saint fumes. “Why don't y'all fucking listen to women?” When he is done, he lets go of the man and he drops to the ground, almost passed out. His suit, which was once expensive looking and shiny, it's now covered in broken glass and debris from the broken wall. Ruby has kept her eyes shut all the while, but this she summons courage and flickers them open. The sight she sees makes her stomach tig

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
