The revenge of the mafia son-in-law. Chapter 44. Change of plans
Ámbar couldn't sleep all night, pondering what she would say the next day when facing Beth during breakfast. It would undoubtedly be a very awkward moment.She went outside and traversed the entire garden to reach the mansion's interior, unaware that she would casually encounter Curtis. She had never been more nervous to see a friend in her life."Norton..." she said as he approached, but Curtis simply continued on his path as if no one were there. Amber felt sadness for being ignored, but deep down, she knew she deserved it.Her troubles didn't end there. She had to join the family for breakfast, and there was Beth waiting for her."And the others?" Amber asked timidly."They haven't arrived yet," Beth said with a big smile, "take a seat."Amber found Beth's sudden kindness very strange but decided to play along and sat in the chair she indicated.Beth abruptly grabbed Amber's hair, pulling it forcefully while placing a knife against her throat."Since I know you won't tell what you

Baxter entered the room in a hurry, as if someone were chasing him. He closed the door behind him, and Beth could sense his accelerated breathing."What's going on?" Beth asked, pausing her makeup. "It's like you've seen a ghost."Baxter took off his jacket and threw it on the bed."I've been calling you all morning," he complained. "Why didn't you answer the call?"Beth made a annoyed face and rolled her eyes with disdain."I'm a very busy woman," she replied, turned, and resumed applying makeup."This is serious, Beth, very serious," Baxter insisted, taking Beth by the shoulders and turning her around again. "I had to come myself in person."Beth threw the small makeup brush against the dresser and stood up."Then speak for heaven's sake," she demanded.Baxter stared into her eyes, as if searching for the right words to tell her without making her angry and explode in a fit of rage."You can't kill Joseph yet."Beth took a few seconds to digest the news, with a puzzled expression on
The revenge of the mafia son-in-law. Chapter 46. New Testament
"This is my new testament," Joseph placed the document on the table, ready to sign.Baxter fell silent, but his discomfort was easily noticeable by the way he moved his legs, as if he were impatient.Joseph took the pen and signed without Baxter being able to understand a single word written there. After the signature, Lawyer Scott took the document and stored it in a briefcase sealed with a secret combination."One moment," intervened Baxter, "I don't know anything about what is written in that testament."Lawyer Scott and Joseph looked at each other for a moment, and the lawyer raised his eyebrow to express his surprise at Baxter's suggestion."I don't think it's necessary," said Joseph.Baxter was stunned. It was the first time in decades that Joseph hadn't informed him about something so intimate."I don't understand. I have been your lawyer for many years.""And you have done very well, Baxter, but today I only need you to witness that I changed my testament."Joseph cleared his

'Positive,' said the message that arrived on Joseph's cellphone, sent by lawyer Scott.Joseph only read that word and locked his phone, putting it in his pocket. He then poured a glass of cognac, as he always did. That was the best way to ease his pain.He already had all the information he needed to be sure of the decision he had made for his new will, but he decided to do nothing until the weddings of his two sons took place to officially announce his change. He wouldn't be the one to ruin these crucial family events.Weeks passed, and finally, the wedding day arrived.The Stanton mansion dressed up for a historic celebration. It was the first time two family members would marry on the same day.During all this time, Beth had been visiting Joseph every day in his room, but he always rejected her, refusing to consume anything she brought. His friendship with Baxter had also suffered, but Joseph said nothing, letting him dwell in doubt and suspicion.Joseph was like a soldier in a war
The revenge of the mafia son-in-law. Chapter 48. Last words
"Look at him there, talking to that damn beggar," Beth complained to Baxter as she watched Joseph from a distance.Baxter plated some of the finest snacks from the food bar."Just leave it... it's better not to keep provoking him," said Baxter, not taking his eyes off the salad section. "Exquisite!"But Beth couldn't take her eyes off Joseph while he spoke with Curtis at that table."I need to know what the hell he's saying in that new testament."Baxter swallowed his food and said, "You're obsessed."Beth turned her hardened gaze to glare at Baxter.Baxter quickly noticed and felt a bit of fear."He gave me his word and assured me that nothing had changed for you in that will... your future is secured."Beth took the plate from Baxter's hands."I can't gamble our future on the word of an old traitor like Joseph."Baxter moved his fingers, wanting his plate back."I'll extract information from that new testament even if it's the last thing I do."Beth threw Baxter's food in the trash
The revenge of the mafia son-in-law. Chapter 49. Joseph has died
Joseph writhed on the floor, feeling his heart literally breaking into pieces."I'll be very happy fucking Baxter on your own bed."It was the last thing he heard in this world, and the last thing he saw was Beth's smiling face waving him 'goodbye.'A rather ironic death.Beth savored every second of his pain, crouching there until Joseph stopped breathing and moving.She checked his pulse to ensure he was dead, and that's when she finally decided to seek help.Preparing for another of her dramatic acts, she tousled her hair and clothes, took a few drops of tea to simulate tears on her face, and rehearsed her concerned woman's voice."Help," she said to herself as a test.But apparently, she wasn't convinced by her own voice."No, stupid... You must sound much more worried," she said to herself and then cleared her throat.Joseph's corpse was cooling on the carpet, and Beth only cared about sounding convincing to ask for help."Help... help..." she said to herself desperately, "great.
The revenge of the mafia son-in-law. Chapter 50. The agreement
The Stanton siblings, alongside their mother Beth, gazed at their father's lifeless body on a stretcher in the morgue.Agata still wept, using a napkin to dry her tears, while Carson and Campbell silently endured the overwhelming sense of helplessness.Beth, bored out of her mind, struggled not to yawn in front of her children. They had been at the place for a couple of hours, and Beth couldn't wait to leave and return to her mansion.She discreetly gestured to check the time on her watch, hiding the immense boredom she felt during this painful moment for them."And... what if we go back to the mansion?" Beth timidly suggested.Agata looked at her in disbelief, while Carson and Campbell couldn't believe she would say that."How can you think of that at a time like this?" Agata exclaimed."My dad just died," added Campbell."We should be with him," Carson said, puzzled.Beth rubbed her forehead as if suffering from a migraine. She was tired of pretending empathy and playing the grievin
The revenge of the mafia son-in-law. Chapter 51. The Aldress mansion
The lawyer Scott woke up after a long night of paperwork and organizing Joseph's documents.He turned on the television and came across news that left him completely stunned and perplexed."The powerful billionaire magnate, Joseph Stanton, has passed away," said the reporter on the morning news."It can't be," exclaimed lawyer Scott, putting his hands to his head and gaping.Scott sat on his sofa to try to process what his eyes were seeing.A chill ran down his spine, and his entire body shivered within seconds. It was clear to him that Beth Aldress had something to do with Joseph's death.Scott had to inform the police immediately. The whole world needed to know that she wanted her ex-husband dead.The doorbell of his apartment began ringing unexpectedly.For Scott, it was very strange since he had no relatives living nearby, nor did he have any friends who could come to his house.So it was a mystery who could be the person calling at his door."Maybe it's the police," he said to hi

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
