The tormented son-in-law's payback time Chapter 130
BATTLE Brian bit his tongue, he recalled. They had threatened to break both of his arms.Now one's mouth has apparently been hurt and the others arms have been broken.“ Just what did Brian do? How could he have the strength or the knowledge to take on two former soldiers at the same time and actually defeat them?” Duke thought. The guards yell had attracted the attention of the bar staff, who had alerted the manager.He burst into the room, followed by several bouncers.What he saw he was two guards lying on the floor, he gasped in disbelief. “Who did this”, he wondered. “What kind of monster could do this to these men?” he saw that Duke was sitting unscathed on his chair and he breathed a sigh of relief.His attention then turned to the other person in the room.When he saw Brian, he did a double check.“That's the young man that saved Brandy a while back”, he thought.He couldn't have done this.Before he could even guess what was going on, he jumped up. “See all this right?” He demand

OLD FRIEND Brandy, “you're still young” he replied. “Once you meet someone like her, trust me.You'll understand”.He put his hand on her head out of habit, just as he would when they were young, before he realized the gesture might be misinterpreted. “Things aren't exactly the same as when we were kids”, he thought. “I always thought of her as a sister.Looking back, I realized that she always considered me her idol”. Brandy, frowned, shaking off Brian's hand. “You told me earlier that I'm all grown up, and now you're saying that I'm still young”, she said angrily. “You're good at everything, apparently, except making up your mind”. “I know he's protecting me like he always does”, she thought. “But it's different now.If he brought me treats or gifts it would be as a friend only”.Brian smiled. “I see your temper hasn't changed at all”.She paused and said candidly. “Brian.If your marriage isn't doing well, you should get a divorce. Let's go back to your family. That's whe

GET OUT!“Completely.Remember the phone Liam stole from the Royal Plaza Inn?And the photo of the two kids.Remember.I told you that it was a photo of me and Brandy”.Jeffery pulled out the phone, open the picture and studied it.And the more he looked at it, the more he noticed that the boy in the picture had the same expression he had often seen on Brian's face.And the little girl had the same eyes as Brandy. Brian Your nodded, but he didn't want Jeffery to misunderstand.“It's not quite as serious as it seems”, he said.“I could have slept on the couch in the living room.But Samantha was pretty upset and she's sensitive about this.I think it's better to give her a while to cool down. “Last time she hit me with a lamp and caused a big wound in my arm” he thought. “She was sorry about it afterward, but I'm not sure what she might do this time.Makes my heart ache anytime she's disappointed in me.Could I crash here for a few days?”“Don't mention it”, Jeffery said. “You can stay as long

MISTAKE“They're both”, Jordan laughed. “Great. So that was a huge waste of time”.Jeffery and Liam rolled their eyes at Jordan, and only Brian could see that behind all his nonsensical stories, there was actually some truth in what he had said.He did miss someone.The loneliness in his eyes couldn't lie.Some buried their problems deep down, out of reach, while others kept themselves in denial to hold on to memories of the good times.Frustrated, Brian clenched his fists and shouted. “Jordan, tell me what to do.What?”Jordan looked at him wide eyed, as did the others.He had no idea why, out of all the people in the room, he had asked a philanderer like him for advice.And the sudden shift in tone had caught him completely off guard. “Close your eye.Just say whatever comes to mind”,“ I'll know what to look for”.Jordan said uncertainly.First taking a deep breath to calm his nerves. “Here's what I think.That phone call was just Samantha venting her anger.I mean, put yourself in her shoes.

RESCUEHe was sputtered.The elevator had been stopped on the 12th floor.Meaning that the man had to run the remaining way and he still had the strength to kick down a reinforced door.He was about to say more when Brian strode toward him and threw him onto the floor.Two scrambled onto his back and moved away in fright, as though a God of death were approaching him.“Mr. Maxwell, let's just talk about this. Samantha isn't here, I swear.It”always feared dying and losing everything he had built.But it had only been a fear at the back of his mind.At that moment, it felt like he was face to face with it and the thought of fighting back didn't even occur. “I wanted to get back at you because of Brandy and because of my son, but I hadn't actually planned anything. I swear on my life”. Duke looked up and saw Brian towering over him.Raising his hand like he was about to tear his heart out.Duke squealed and fainted in terror on the spot, twitching and sobbing. “I guess you really didn't do it t

I’M SORRY“Now it's your turn.What makes Brian worth $500 million to you?” Brandy folded her arms with a wry sneer.Perhaps such a ludicrous offer for divorce had been too obvious.Considering that the money had been a gift from Brian in the 1st place, she hadn't won a spend all of it.She had planned to give most of it back to Brian, but things had changed so quickly that she couldn't keep up.She looked at Samantha coldly and said.“Would you rather stay trapped in here?“I'd rather prefer you told me what the deal is between you two”.As angry as she was, she wanted to ensure she wasn't mistaken.If everything had been a misunderstanding, if Brian hadn't been in an affair, then no amount of money in the world would get her to separate from him. “Fine, said Brandy, seeing that Samantha was digging her heels in.This treasured woman of Brians really was irksome. “I'll tell you what happen.I was always bullied in school because I was so sure.One day I couldn't take it anymore and I ran hea

JEALOUSYand the fact that she had only said yes to a divorce because she thought it would make him happier and there was nothing to be angry about.When the bodyguard returned to his senses, Brian got him to take Brandy to the hospital to ensure she was OK.Only once they were both gone was he able to face Samantha again.For a moment, neither of them knew what to say.“Have you really known Brandy that long?” Asked Samantha. “Yes”, it was all Brian could say for a while.He busied himself untying the ropes that bound her hands and feet. “Our families were always close.So she often followed me around”.There was more to the story, clearly, but it wasn't the time to go into detail. “Was she bullied because she was so short?”“You could say that”.“And what about your family?” How many siblings do you have? Brian looked at her when she asked this.Brandy had obviously revealed a lot about their past.“A lot, you admitted.But we don't get along.How is that possible?How bad could it be afte

SETTLEDShe barely remembered the names of those closest to him. Brandy stared at Samantha intently and said.“Can I ask a favor?”“OK”.“Please promise that you'll be good to him. He obviously cares so much about you”.Samantha's heart seemed to surge like ocean waves. The affection and care in Brandy's voice made her feel almost sad.It wasn't like she wanted her relationship with Brian to be as icy as it was. It wasn't her fault that he was so often neglectful of his duties and commitments.All the recent drama had started because he'd been so reckless.“What did he think would happen when he met Brandy in secret after so long”, she thought.It felt like she only gained reasons to get angrier with.Yet even with seemingly countless things being wrong between them, when offered the opportunity to divorce him, her first instinct had been to reject it.She wondered if that was just her sense of responsibility, or if deep down, she cared for him.He had, after all, recieved plenty of humi

JELOUSYRoss shoved him aside. “You want me to give you another chance? “If I keep providing protection for you and your store, how am I going to explain that to Mr. Maxwell when he finds out? it's best for you to just shut the whole store down at this point, otherwise, next time He comes here, he's going to be offended that you're still here, and then you don't want to offend Mr. Maxwell”. He said to the manager. “I'd laugh if anyone else said that. But if it's what Ross thinks is best that would only mean I'm done for it wasn't easy to get to this point. I thought with Ross providing protection, I could do whatever I wanted. I never thought I would offend someone that even Ross is afraid of”. Ross just looked down at him, “Let me give you one last piece of advice”. He said, “try to be a good person from now on if you know what is good for you”After leaving them all, Laura was in no mood to continue their day out, so she and Brian got in the car to head home.Laura was clearly p

THE MANAGERBrian tilted his head thoughtfully “Ross? he asked.“you're not talking about Ross Gilmore, are you? the same guy I had a little chat with yesterday” he thought.“I think I left quite an impression on him”.“ you know Ross Gilmore?” the manager asked. “You could say that” the manager was surprised but then he saw Laura’s panicked expression clearly showed she had also heard of Ross or at least she knew of his reputation.“that's right,” he said “My shop is under Ross Gilmore’s protection so if you two both get down on your knees and beg for mercy I’ll consider asking for less compensation, otherwise you'll have to beg Ross for mercy” “and at this point, the compensation is the secondary”. he thought. just look how pretty that girl is, Ross, is going to be very happy when he sees her”. many people in the crowd had also heard of Ross and his reputation as a local thug they were not surprised that someone as Petty and nasty as the owner of this store had someone as vici

CHAOS Brian smiled at her but did not comment.The shop manager returned in short order with a Gray scarf draped across his arms. “Go on, Brian, Laura said. “Try it on and see what you think”.She lifted her hand, but the manager turned and held the scarf out of reach. “What?” She asked. “ Aren't you going to let us see it before we buy it?” The manager replied. “You've already seen and handled the other one.Isn't that enough?Except for the color, the two scarves are identical. Come up to the register and I'll get you checked out”.He smiled arrogantly. “They Caused the most trouble”, he thought. “They really need to put their grubby hands all over a genuine branded cashmere scarf.The rich ladies who come in here just point at what they want, pay the bill and leave without any fuss”. Laura's eyes flashed with anger. “Is that how you do business?” She asked. “If you don't try on clothing.How will you know if you like it or not?Maybe we won't like the feel of it.But we won't know until

OUTBURST Laura looked up from her plate of eggs and watched her sister confused. She glanced at Brian, who shrug. “I don't know exactly what's bothering her, but I can guess” he thought. “But I don't wanna talk to Laura about the whole situation with Brandy.That's too much to get into this morning”. “Hey, sis.Did you forget that Brian and I were going out for a fun day today? You should come along.Change your clothes. I'm gonna leave right after breakfast”. “No thanks”, Samantha replied. “I have some important things I need to get done today|”. “Is there anything more?Important than.Quality family time”.Samantha stood up. “You've got Brian, you don't need me”. She left the kitchen.And they heard her bedroom door closed a few seconds later. Gary Wandered into the kitchen, still half asleep.He looked from Laura to Brian. “Where's Samantha?” He asked. “I thought I heard her voice”. “Well, she's not here”, Laura said. “She's having a hissy fit or something”. “Come on Brian, let's

STILL IN LOVE“I'm glad to hear it”, said Brian. “If you'll excuse me”.With that, he walked over to the backstage door. He was determined to see Brandy, and Ross had held him up long enough.He could hear the sound of television through her door, it sounded like a cartoon and you could hear her laughing loudly at it. He Knocked several times before she heard him. “Come in, She shouted once she finally heard his knocking. “Ohh, it's you. Hello”.She walked over and gave him a huge bear hug.She squeezed him so hard he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He said eventually. “Are you trying to kill me?” It took him a moment or two to disentangle himself from her grip.“You never change, do you?” He said, his words full of affection.He always spoke to her with the affection of an older brother talking to his favorite sister. Annoyed, Brandy pounded him on the chest.Always hoped that Brandy would stay as innocent as a child, but that was never going to be the case.Uncle Sam had already to

BRIANAs he realized that Brian had seen right through him, anger began to take over.He had a powerful urge to kill him.The slower and more painful death, the better.However, that was something that would have to wait.Murdering Brandy Hall's friend in a busy bar wouldn't win him any popularity contests. It was a plan he would have to save for another day. “Don't be so quick to criticize me”, he said. “You may have gotten away with it this evening, but I will get my revenge on you soon”.“I wouldn't be so sure about that”, said Brian.“But I can be sure”, said Ross, a smile starting to appear on his face. “I have a Big Brother and plenty of friends to help me.Next time you might not find the bartender quite so helpful”.“You're going to hide behind your Big Brother?” Asked Brian. “Why is he someone special?”The door to the bar opened.A man walked in.Ross smiled. his Big Brother had just walked in and his timing couldn't have been better.The man saw Ross and walked over.Ross began to s

THROW HIM OUTRoss was surprised that the bartender knew him, but he certainly wasn't complaining.He knew they had backup when it came to making Brian's life even more miserable than he had hoped. “He's the scruffy man over there”, he said, pointing to Brian's back. “He's trying to go backstage to see Brandy, which surely is a serious offense.My advice is that you have him evicted immediately”. “Well, we could always ask Brandy what she thinks”, said the bartender. “After all, she's the star performer.It's only fair that she should decide if she wants a visitor”.Ross was not impressed it wasn't the answer he had wanted to hear. “However”, continued the bartender, winking at Ross. “If she doesn't want any company, young Rossier gets to decide what to do with the unwanted visitor”.Everyone in the room held their breath, listening very carefully. “What's the punishment?” Ross asked one.Ross smiled. He made a choking gesture to the crowd, much to their delight.A huge cheer went up, sig

CODY’S BAR“Don't worry, maybe Brian will come with me”, said Lynn.Samantha looked at her. “Since when have they had such a good relationship?” She thought.But she didn't bother to ask Laura directly.“What's happening tomorrow?” She asked instead.“I thought you were busy”, said Laura. “But seeing as you're asking, it's a social event organized by the college. I thought you might have wanted to come with me”.She sighed.“If you're busy, I'll ask Brian. he won't mind coming with me. he'll make sure I'm OK”.It's sorted Laura, Take Brian”. Being her brother-in-law, she could go out with him without arousing suspicion.Samantha looked at her suspiciously, not convinced that Brian could keep her sister safe.In her mind, it was almost funny.Much more importantly, she was sure they were keeping something from her.Pretending that nothing was worrying her, she decided to go too, despite the pressures of her job. “I think I'll come too”, she said. “It'll be good to have a break from work”.Sh

UNEXPECTED His friends started to laugh mercilessly.By that time, Samantha was in earshot.When she heard laughter, she relaxed, thinking they had already resolved their differences and made-up.Deciding not to get involved, she stayed out of sight around the corner and listen.Has she gone around the corner, she would have realized that she had gotten it drastically wrong. Brian and Ross were staring at each other. Neither had any intention of backing down.Ross threw his cigarette butts on the ground and stepped on it. “I've had enough of your nonsense. It's time I taught you a lesson.Lesson”. Brian repeated questioningly. “A student?,I don't need to be taught a lesson.I think you've got it the wrong way around”. With that, he stepped forward and landed a blow in Ross' stomach”.Ross doubled up, completely taken aback by the punch.As he struggled to catch his breath, he couldn't believe such an unassuming looking man could be so strong. Started to feel nauseated and his vision st
