The revenge of the mafia son-in-law. Chapter 36. Negotiation
"Are you lost, dear Norton?" Charles Ballmer broke the silence in that dark and lonely corridor.Curtis turned immediately and felt a small heart attack upon realizing that his worst nightmare was standing in front of him."Or should I say... Curtis?"Charles let out a foolish mocking laugh. It was like the cat cornering the mouse and having the luxury to play with its food before devouring it, knowing it couldn't escape.A shiver ran down Curtis's spine, leaving him completely immobile in front of Charles. It was a dead-end, and there was no escape this time."To be honest with you, I never believed you were dead."Charles took small steps back and forth while reciting his monologue. It was a glorious moment, and he wanted to savor it to the fullest, extracting every last drop of fear from the expression on Curtis's face."They never found your body, and I also know you're like a cockroach... elusive and disgusting."The moment came when Charles pulled out his gun, letting it gleam i
The revenge of the mafia son-in-law. Chapter 37. Joseph must die
"As you heard, dear friend," Charles settled into the Persian armchair for comfort and fixed Joseph with a direct gaze, "I want one of your sons to marry my little Kim."Joseph immediately knew he needed another drink, so he poured it with great patience."I want my last name to be linked to your empire and have a claim to your boundless fortune.""I heard you the first time you said it."Joseph sighed disappointedly and let out a lazy smile."Money... nothing is more important than money," Joseph reflected poetically as he looked at the cognac in his crystal glass."That son of a bitch entered my house and stole thousands of dollars from a safe," Charles shouted angrily, pointing at Curtis.Joseph looked at Curtis and could only laugh, thinking about how amusing it must have been."Many have died for less than that.""So, you're telling me this isn't about money?" Joseph raised his face and waited for Charles' response."This is about power.""Power?" Joseph raised his eyebrow and sh
The revenge of the mafia son-in-law. Chapter 38. A failed plan
The clock indicated a very late hour at night, and Amber finally finished washing the last dish used in Agatha's party.She was exhausted, her hands aching from all the effort she had put in that day, but the time to rest had finally come.She hung her wet apron on the proper hook and stretched her back until her bones cracked, her expression one of laziness.Turning off the light switch, all the kitchen lamps went out, leaving that section of the mansion in complete darkness.She walked the long path through the garden to reach the room assigned for her to sleep while working in the mansion.Fatigue weighed on her shoulders, and the beats of her feet reminded her of the time she had spent standing and walking, carrying that tray everywhere to satisfy those millionaire guests.Taking the keys out of the door to enter the room, she inserted the correct one into the lock to open it, but a small mistake caused the keys to fall to the floor, and some detached from the keyring."Damn it!"
The revenge of the mafia son-in-law. Chapter 39. An arranged marriage
The next morning, Joseph woke up in a very good mood. His ailments and pains seemed to have vanished as if by magic.All the mansion's employees were astonished to see him so lively and energetic, a true miracle compared to how they had seen him in years. He urgently summoned a meeting with his two sons in his private office, energetically traversing the mansion with the vitality of a fifteen-year-old, using a cane for support.While Curtis worked alongside Amber and some new employees to quickly prepare breakfast for the Stanton family members, Amber, who had been ignoring Curtis in the preceding days, didn't even glance at him that morning."Amber, please listen to me," Curtis pleaded in a low voice, discreetly, amidst the other employees.But Amber completely ignored him, as if no one else were there, as if Curtis were speaking to the wind.Everyone, including Curtis, was surprised to see Carson Stanton enter the mansion's kitchen. It was uncommon for a family member to enter the k
The revenge of the mafia son-in-law. Chapter 40. Commitment to Amber
Beth had woken up searching for her daughter. She hadn't seen her since the previous night when she danced with Curtis and left her alone at her birthday party.She searched throughout the mansion, but the property was vast, and it would likely take her the entire day to find her."Have you seen Agatha?" she asked the breakfast-serving employees.But everyone shook their heads. No one knew where Miss Stanton was."Useless trash," Beth said contemptuously to the employees and continued searching for her daughter.Beth looked everywhere Agatha could be, but she was nowhere to be found, as if she had disappeared."Agatha... Agatha..." Beth shouted, placing her hands around her mouth to amplify the sound.But it would be in the garden where she would finally find her. Agatha had made a fool of herself the previous night at her party. She became the laughingstock of the night, dancing semi-nude on the tables in the main hall and, for some strange reason, ended up sprawled on the grass in a
The revenge of the mafia son-in-law. Chapter 41. Campbell is getting married
While all this was happening, Curtis and Amber exchanged glances discreetly. She might have taken her revenge too far, but she also wanted to change her fate, no longer wanting to be a poor woman without money, and she didn't mind the sacrifice she had to make. Meanwhile, Curtis couldn't bear it anymore, his heart shattered by the news he had just heard.Carson had successfully gotten his way, and now he cared least about his family's opinion. No one bothered to check on Beth because everyone knew her exaggerated reactions and silly dramatizations. The only one attending to her was her daughter Agatha until she woke up."Mom, are you okay?" Agatha asked as she saw her open her eyes again.Beth blinked, looking at the ceiling of the mansion and the gigantic chandelier hanging above them."Daughter, I had a horrible nightmare. I dreamed that your brother was marrying one of the maids.""But it's not a dream, Mom. Carson is marrying that gold digger."Beth immediately got up and saw her
The revenge of the mafia son-in-law. Chapter 42. A love letter
Curtis walked out onto the balcony of the mansion and there he took an ideal position to think about what had happened. His heart was broken and confused by the whole situation. He had suffered many humiliations in his life at the hands of the Ballmer and Stanton families, but no one had managed to hurt him as much as Amber had that night. The night was perfect with a starry sky and a splendid moon, but Curtis could only sigh and try to come to the resignation that Carson had won. Curtis heard Joseph's cane tapping with each step he took on the artistic wooden floor behind him. He turned to watch as his great friend came toward him with a glass of champagne in his hand. "You're not thinking of jumping," Joseph joked coming to Curtis' side. "You're very funny today," Curtis said crestfallen. Joseph smiled kindly and with a grimace meant there was nothing to be done. "Here," Joseph handed that glass of champagne into Curtis' hands. "Beth would die if she saw me drinking out of on
The revenge of the mafia son-in-law. Chapter 43. Beth has been discovered
The days passed, and things changed drastically. Ámbar started attending the prestigious places the Stantons used to frequent. Beth couldn't fully accept her as her daughter-in-law, but Carson always stood up for her whenever his mother tried to humiliate her for any reason.Despite her future as Carson's wife, Beth seemed indifferent to Ámbar carrying the Stanton name. She could only see her roots as a poor person, providing enough reason for disdain.Meanwhile, Curtis remained at the mansion, keeping the promise he made to Joseph. He endured humiliations from everyone just to serve in that mansion.One night, he had to serve dinner alongside a couple of other employees. Joseph wouldn't be present, and Curtis knew Beth would seize the opportunity to humiliate him, but that didn't bother Curtis. His major concern was having to serve Ámbar and how uncomfortable it would be for him."Quick!" Beth ordered, snapping her fingers just to annoy Curtis.That night, Curtis had the misfortune o

Campbell watched with concern the news of his mother's arrest on his cell phone as he prepared for the flight where he would escape with Dany.Dany noticed Campbell's demeanor and immediately took his hand to comfort him."We can't look back," Dany said, "I know just the thing to cheer you up."Dany went to the airplane minibar and grabbed a bottle of champagne, perfectly chilled. Without hesitation, she uncorked it in front of Campbell, letting the bubbly foam cascade everywhere, soaking the red carpet beneath their feet.It was all laughter, hugs, and kisses until a voice amplified by a megaphone wiped the smiles off their faces instantly."Campbell Stanton, step out of the plane with your hands on your head," the police chief's voice echoed through the megaphone.Campbell and Dany peered out the window to see an entire army of international special police agents on the runway, aiming their firearms directly at the plane.Curtis returned to the Stanton mansion safe and sound, as he

Charles Ballmer laughed maniacally. He couldn't believe that he had finally ended the life of the wretched Curtis Stanton. He had always known he would kill him since the day Curtis had used him as a stool alongside Araña years ago.His escorts also laughed, pleased to see that their boss had finally gotten what he wanted. However, things changed in an instant. A shot came out of nowhere, hitting one of the escorts directly in the forehead, killing him immediately. Another shot hit the leg of another escort, and that's when everyone finally reacted, starting to shoot in all directions without knowing where the shots were coming from.Charles Ballmer crouched down and quickly sought shelter from the gunfire while continuing to give orders."Shoot! Shoot at anything that moves!" Charles shouted, hiding behind one of the containers.Curtis was also crawling on the floor, completely unharmed by the shots Charles Ballmer had just fired at him.Immediately, the dock was filled with internat

The limousine slowly came to a stop in front of the Stanton mansion, and Agatha looked through the window while accompanied by Angeline."Welcome to your true home," said Agatha as the gigantic gate opened to allow the limousine to pass.Both were personally greeted by Curtis.Agatha quickly got out of the limousine and ran to hug Curtis."What the hell are you doing here? I told you to stay on the island and take care of Angeline," Curtis reprimanded."He came back, Curtis. He managed to find me," Agatha confessed, terrified, with a look of fear in her eyes."That's impossible!" Curtis exclaimed."I know, I know. But he did it. He reached the hotel and chased me up the stairs. He said Angeline was his daughter and that he had the right to know her," Agatha said, unable to stop crying."You are safe now," Curtis comforted her with a kiss on the forehead."Daddy!" Angeline exclaimed, hugging her father's leg while Alfred carried Agatha's suitcases."Hello, my love," Curtis greeted with

“Curtis?” said Beth, peeking onto the balcony, “I finally found you. I've been searching all over the mansion for you.”“I was reminiscing about the view from this magnificent balcony,” Curtis replied.“Remembering old times, I imagine.”“Exactly in this spot, I stood the day Baxter went crazy and killed Lucius for no reason,” commented Curtis, fully aware that Beth was the culprit. However, he never pointed the finger at her directly.Beth immediately understood the accusatory remark and simply smiled to keep up the pretense.“It’s a real shame that such a beautiful place brings such bitter memories to your mind,” Beth responded.“No, not at all. It’s the perfect occasion to remember the inexplicable things that only happen in the Stanton mansion. Ander died and no one knows a thing about what happened. It’s exactly the same with Lucius and Baxter,” Curtis remarked sarcastically. “These elegant walls hold mysteries that the world has no clue about.”Beth only responded with a feigned

Agatha couldn't believe it. That man had found her and surely wanted to harm her and her young daughter. She could expect anything from Prince Rick at that moment. It was impossible to trust someone who had abandoned her and stolen all her money."Let's go, Angeline. We need to go back," Agatha said, terrified, taking her young daughter by the arm to return to the elevator."Agatha!" Prince Rick shouted, rising from his seat when he saw that Agatha wanted to flee from him.However, the elevator had already closed again and was on the upper floors. No matter how many times Agatha pressed the buttons, the door simply wouldn't open.Agatha watched with concern as Rick quickly crossed the entire lobby to reach where she was."Let's go through the stairs," Agatha said, picking up her young daughter and carrying her to move much faster.She was forced to walk a bit further to her right to enter the door leading to the hotel's stairs. She tried to move as quickly as possible without drawing

The next day, all the media outlets were abuzz with a story that went global in a matter of minutes.Ander Stanton, the youngest member of the powerful Stanton family, had been found completely charred inside the remains of a limousine that had been intentionally set on fire. He was found alongside a girl, also charred, who, for some strange reason, had a chain tied around her neck.This news plunged the Stanton family into mourning and called into question the performance of the city's police authorities. The citizens were alarmed. If something like this could happen to someone as important as Ander Stanton, what could an ordinary citizen expect?"That's common in this city. People are murdered like that every day. It's just that now it's someone rich, and that makes the difference," said an old woman being interviewed on television while Charles Ballmer and Beth Aldress watched.They were both completely naked and sitting in a hot tub. Charles was enjoying a cigar while Beth just re

Ander lost all the harshness in his voice and his bravery vanished as if by magic. Now he was just a scared and cowardly child, trembling like jelly in front of what seemed like a ghost from the past."Annie..." Ander sobbed, a mix of lament and high-pitched cry.He began to sweat profusely, and tears streamed down his face like waterfalls as he remained in disbelief. He couldn't believe what his eyes were seeing.Annie was there, staring at him face to face. However, she seemed unresponsive. Somehow, Charles Ballmer had managed to destroy her feelings and emotions. Everything that Annie once was had been erased from her mind forever. Now she was just a kind of pet that only served to wag her tail when her master, Charles Ballmer, came home tired from work."What did that bastard do to you?" Ander said, crying like a child.He took the chain that bound Annie's neck and noticed it was made of very resistant material. Perhaps that was why she had never managed to escape. Or maybe Charle

Ander woke up again in the middle of the night due to a horrible recurring nightmare that he had over and over again. Annie's face and voice tormented him during his dreams, preventing him from resting. Since it happened, Ander hadn't been able to sleep peacefully on any of the following nights."You're a damn coward," he told himself to gather the courage to go on with his life.His idea was to convince himself that he had chosen well by showing loyalty to Charles Ballmer. After all, Annie had brought that horrible end upon herself. However, the nightmares and the bitter taste in his mouth didn't go away with anything. Maybe it was something he had to learn to live with.The next day, everything returned to normal at the Stanton mansion. Beth walked proudly around the mansion, not missing any opportunity to rub her triumph in Curtis' face.However, Curtis was locked in his room with no desire to come out. He just stared out the window while everyone else enjoyed the pool. Maybe they

"Congratulations," said Campbell innocently."I think you should be grateful he didn’t get your wife pregnant, idiot," Beth snapped angrily, while Campbell felt ashamed."My personal life with my wife is none of the business of anyone present," Curtis commented immediately, although, to be honest, he was still in shock."You’re right. We don’t care about the child of a bastard and a traitor," Beth said venomously, not caring that she was talking about her own grandchild."He will own everything you see," Curtis defended himself with a sharp comment."That reminds me," Beth stood up and began walking around the office, "the new company directors have been talking, and...""And what?" Curtis questioned."And we’re thinking of kicking you out of the business," Carson immediately attacked.Curtis smiled, letting out a bit of air in a half-laugh."That’s the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard," Curtis said, smiling."We want to remove you from your duties as president of Stanton Enterpr
