THE SON THEY NEVER WANTED
CHAPTER ONE"Are you telling me to kill myself?"Chris gasped at the man staring at him with no emotions whatsoever as he knitted his brows in amusement."I never said that! Don't play with my words."He slammed at him."But breaking Into Logan's house is the same thing as killing myself, I will do any other thing but not that please."His voice quaked desperately, hoping for his plea to be considered.There's no way he will break into the house of the famous drug dealer in Mexico to get a file for his Father in law.It's totally absurd."What did you just spew?"Darius stood up feeling extremely disappointed and pissed that he argued for the first time.He had never done that before, he had always been the dutiful wretched son In law they never desired for his daughter."I just…I..""How dare you?" He roared, slamming his fist on the table."Do you realize that you're just telling me to drag your shitty family into the streets for the monsters to feed on them?""I'm so sorry, I'll do that right away. Please don't drag my family into this!"Chris pleaded as he felt a heavy lump in his throat and clenched his fist in anger. His family has always been his weakness and he must abide by this man's will to protect them.The only thing keeping them alive is the Darius family. The name alone could make a president of a country bow and make the nation shake hands with him.Darius wasn't only powerful but dangerous hiding behind the facade of being a philanthropist.Chris knew that his life was doomed the day he discovered that he got his daughter pregnant from his carelessness and raging horny hormones that got the better part of him."Get out!" He yelled and Chris scrambled out of his office, holding back tears that burned the back of his eyes.He wasn't done signing the contracts with the three large companies he had forcefully requested of, he had to set up a meeting with two more powerful personalities to invest in the Darius company and now he's asked to do the formidable.He hung his head low and walked to the room hoping that he wouldn't collide with any of his children but nature was surely against him."Chris! Why didn't you Iron my clothes as requested, you made me miss my flight!" Calista yelled out and slapped his cheeks so hard that her palms burned.That was his wife's elder sister, who enjoyed touring his life in a living hell. There's no way he would request a peaceful life in the Darius home, he paid the price by being careless with the woman he loved, rendering her pregnant. He couldn't even afford a meal of his own and that of his father and brother, why won't he succumb to their will?"I'm sorry." He whispered, swallowing hard."There's nothing to be sorry about, idiot! Get in there and get my clothes ironed and neat.""I'm sorry, I can't do that now.""Are you insane?""Father sent me on a very important err-"Slap!!His mouth cut from that impact and he felt a warm liquid seeped down his mouth with a taste of blood."Listen to me dummy! every errand in this home is extremely important!"Chris nodded, wiping the blood off his lips and licking it. He apologized and went to her room with a heavy heart.Logan would definitely be at home before 9:00 pm and he needs to be there before then, so he can startle him and ask for the file which he knew nothing about.The room was a mess but he overlooked it and got down to work, clearing the mess and ironing the required cloth very neatly and fast.He made sure to sneak out from her room without noticing or she will definitely find a fault and yell, delaying him more.He got to his magnificent room which was nothing but a place of hell, the beautiful interior decor looking like an ugly curse before him as he sat down haggardly staring at his wife who was getting dressed."Going somewhere?" He asked her dryly and she nodded, dapping some powder and red lip gloss to fit her red strapless gown."Yeah, done with dad?"He nodded."But I'll go to the office, I'm not done with work.""Yeah , you should. Dad complains a lot that you're beginning to get comfortable at doing nothing, Mum is extremely irritated at your sluggish attitude, Calista yelled and was excessively pissed that you didn't iron her clothes and you know Cole, he's -""What the heck Mia?" Chris gasped in shock as he stared at his wife rambling about her family before him."I'm just starting to think that you are on their good side Chris but you're not!""You think I haven't tried?""No Chris, your expression shows that you insult them a lot and you need to stop it. Don't annoy my dad and mum, you won't like the pang of hunger games they will play before you."Speaking of hunger, his stomach rumbled in desperation and he instantly felt weak, Ignoring his wife's heart wrenching words as he huffed, chewing his lips in anger."Is my meal ready, I'm famished and I need to take something before going back""I'm not allowed to do shit in this house and you know that!""I haven't had anything since yesterday Mia, can't you tell the maids to prepare anything for your husband?"Chris was losing it, his muscles rippled visibly under the shirt he wore and his Adam apple bobbed down hard in anger, he was going to lose it and it would yield nothing to his already cursed self."My husband is more than able to prepare his meal!"He smiled, pushing back the evil thought crawling in his head."She's Darius' daughter, don't be stupid Chris! Remember your father and brother."His subconscious mind screamed at him and he sighed."Fine, can you lend me a little cash to grab something on the way please.""You work as a CEO for Darius technologies and you dare ask me shit!"She glared at him disgustingly."Have some pride and fuck off Chris!" She yelled at him in disgust and took her bag, storming out of the room and leaving him dazed.How will he put up with this unending circle of life that seems to be burning his soul. His life is probably laughing at him right now that he can't do shit about it, he needs a shelter. His poor dad is struggling to make sure his only brother survived in the harsh city of Mexico.Now he's entangled in the web of a dangerous family whose sole aim is to make his young self miserable.His heart was too heavy but he had no time to waste, he needed to go to Logan or more impending doom awaits him.Grabbing a bottle of water in the freezer, he gulped all the contents and dashed out, tucking his licensed gun by the sides of his pocket.After driving for more than Forty minutes with the help of the compass given to him, he arrived at the magnificent duplex that took his breath away.He would be stupid to get in there through the front gate so he chose the back of the building and made sure to disconnect the power voltage connecting the mansion through the help of his remote and drone speedily and climbed over the fence to jump down inside. Amidst the commotion going on outside between the men, he seized the opportunity to walk freely and straight to his room.Darius had given him the perfect map for this making his work easier. He surely had the looks of a gangster which made it easier for people to bow at his command but he's nothing but a pauper."What's that sound?" He murmured and retrieved his gun moving steadily to the strange noises till he located the door. In a jiffy, he kicked the door open with all his might which bounced open and the lights flickered on giving the beautiful room a spark but his hands trembled as the gun slipped down from his hands at the sight of his dear wife being naked under Logan.THE SON THEY NEVER WANTEDCHAPTER 2Chris forgot his existence and mission that moment as he felt pain slicing through his chest at the sight of his wife on the bed with a horrible drug dealer. He couldn't believe that this was the actual place she went to while Mia rolled over the sheets in shock to cover herself."Who the fuck are you?" Logan yelled in anger, wondering how such a stranger got into his room without passing through the securities or informing him. The audacity he had to barge Into his room while he was satisfying his pleasure with the daughter of The Famous Darius Blackwood who got him whipped at a mall."Mia?" Chris managed to say and he felt a lump in his throat. His eyes burned with unseen tears as he walked over to take a closer look at his wife when Logan lost it and kicked him hard in the abdomen still on the bed. He threw his robes on and pressed the alarm for his men to troop in as Chris was taken aback by such a hit and impact."Do you know him, Mia?" Logan a
THE SON THEY NEVER WANTEDCHAPTER 3Chris stared in shock as his Father was right there, washing Darius' legs while his younger brother was busy with the house chores of cleaning and sweeping with the whole family present, watching them as a spectator."What the hell are you doing?" He gasped, not knowing whom he should direct the question to, His father, brother, or Darius who flipped through the magazine and sat up when he heard Chris's gasps."How dare you!" He slammed, kicking the glass bowl of water that splashed on Chris' father and the bowl went crashing to the ground in pieces. "What the hell did you do, you incompetent idiot!" Darius slammed in fury, he had gone half crazy when he saw the news."Why is my family here?" Chris asked in whispers as his eyes never left his father's."I called them over, they will be working in this mansion until you recover my company's reputation and pay the 100 million dollars!" Darius slammed heavily at his man Chris gasped in disbelief."Why?
THE SON THEY NEVER WANTEDCHAPTER 4" I'm sorry Chris Brent, but we can't offer you such a loan without collateral worth it." The Man In a gray suit and white lenses said softly."But I will pay you back, The company is doing well and you can see from the stock shares " Chris cried Inwardly in frustration as he hoped that he reconsiders his words and grants him."The company is doing well but we all know that you can't pay that loan!" He slammed and Chris felt a stab in his chest."Excuse me?" The man sighed as he leaned back on his chair and flicked his pen. "Stop hiding behind the curtains Chris, You don't have a share in Darius' group of companies. You're no CEO neither are you a beneficiary, so tell me why I will give you a loan worth 100 million dollars to a pauper?"He said irritatingly and Chris swallowed hard and stared around, hoping no other person heard what he said. His throat burned with a heavy lump and his eyes sheened with tears. His secret was slowly spreading outsid
THE SON THEY NEVER WANTEDCHAPTER 5***The night in the cell was hell for Chris as no one came over, he was so anxious that he freaked out being there and prayed silently to get out so he could confirm his reality or illusion that was sent to his phone."Did the bank later change their minds?"He muttered to himself. "But I never requested more than that."Chris was in a haywire as he couldn't wait to get out while Logan was gathering evidence of his deeds to make sure he stays there.He was aware of Darius but he didn't know the person working for him was his son in Law, he had done some research and not even a decent background was displayed about Chris which would make it easier to pin him down.He has taken down different companies and killed two of his fellow allies who were Involved in dirty politics and drugs and now he was coming for him."Why don't we use him, boss?" One of his men had suggested it and he thought about it."It won't be easy, he's working for Darius" "Do you
THE SON THEY NEVER WANTEDCHAPTER 6****Chris' ears blazed in hot fury as he couldn't believe what Darius just uttered before him right now. He stared at the cheque payment in his hands as he chuckled bitterly."What did..you…just say?" He picked on his words and Darius sighed."You were never going to come out of that cell, why would I sit and do nothing when you made a promise?""BY BURNING THEIR HOUSE?"Chris erupted in fury, forgetting his existence but the anger that was boiling in his entire system."I only burnt a useless thatched house, now that you've paid for the damages done to my company, they are now free from my mansion."Darius dismissed him and Chis gritted his teeth in anger. This is the highest of what he could tolerate, it was too much for him to handle as his heart burned in pain. He badly wanted to smash his head to the wall right now and make him feel every inch of pain he has caused him."How did you get this money?" He asked casually."Nothing!!" Chris yelled
THE SON THEY NEVER WANTEDCHAPTER 7Darius stared at the President of Finance in shock and awe as he sat before him casually and couldn't stop staring at Chris that left."I'm sorry for his clumsiness, those poor rats can be so insulting at times," Darius said and laughed expecting him to join him but he maintained a stoic face as he stared at him over the rim of his glass.He had immediately ordered a Shirley Temple wine for him and wondered if it was too cheap.He oversees the country's Finances and is the current Prime minister of Business affairs in Mexico."What the hell is going on here, dear Lord; I hope it's a business proposal." Darius prayed silently in his heart as he smiled at Thompson Brook." Can I spend the night here?"Thompson blurted out and Darius spat out his drink in shock "What?" He gasped."I'm afraid I might miss my schedule, your house is quite fancy and classy. I'll pay if you don't mind please."He said with so much class and elegance that Darius nodded rep
THE SON HE NEVER WANTEDCHAPTER 8****Mia wasn't joking when she said her dad stripped Chris of the position as the acting Ceo as it was all over the news.He felt so pained and humiliated that he didn't know what to do or go about his revenge plan on this evil family.They wanted to reduce him to the lowest level and make his life so miserable.He had plans to use that position in his company and make sure everything about him runs dry even though he knows how risky that is."Why are you still standing there when you should clean the mess in my room!" Calista slammed heavily at Chris who was wiping the dust in the large living room. This was the work of other maids but these people were hell-bent on making his life miserable."I'm coming over." He muttered but she yelled louder instead."Come over immediately!" With such last command, she left.Chris was tired and the hunger in his stomach wasn't something he could condone. His wife had woken him up to get up early and do everything
THE SON HE NEVER WANTEDCHAPTER 9****"One condition!"Chris blurted out and they all looked at him with a sneer."Why will you give my father a condition Chris?" Mia slammed but Darius was quick to wave her off."What do you want Chris!" He asked."2 percent share of the company's revenue!" He blurted out and they all stared at him like a mouse and the effrontery he possessed to have suggested that."If you're going to hurt my family, I'll release the tapes of you ordering me to kill the allies that were a threat to you!"Chris slammed and that swept them off the table. Darius swallowed so hard that he clenched his fingers tight under the table.That was not a condition but a heavy threat.How dare he impose a threat to his father-in-law in his useless and shabby state "What the Fuck Chris?" Mia screamed and stood up but Chris already made up his mind. He might be poor and useless, doing what they wanted all the damn time but he wasn't stupid. He was smart and he was going to stay
