The tormented son-in-law's payback time Chapter 49
THE MEETING.At noon Samantha arrived at the agreed meeting place with her personal assistance and a few core members of the company Alexander said “I've long heard that you are a great beauty but seeing you today, I can say that you deserve your reputation”.Even though it sounded nice, Samantha thought that what he said was highly inappropriate in a business situation but for the sake of the negotiation, she decided to let it go.“Thank you Mr. Alex” she responded and then they both shook hands.Although Alex was in a state of turmoil, he still appeared calm.He was under orders from Duke and he knew how dangerous he was if things didn't go according to plan.Duke had deliberately sent him to samantha.At first, they had a pleasant conversation, however, it wasn't long before the two of them disagreed.“Mr. Alex, I don't understand, seventy percent of this project will go to your company while my company will only receive thirty percent I'm afraid that won't be good enough”.

BiddingAlex was shocked, he couldn't have looked more surprised if his assistant had told him the sky was falling “Let's talk outside!”. He grabbed the assistant arm, dragged him rudely out of the conference room, and yanked open the door of the room across the hall where several employees were eating lunch.“Get out!” he said in a tone that brought no argument when the room had cleared. Alex turned to his assistant and asked, “Someone is outbidding me?” Who would do such a thing? If I find out it's one of my associates I'm going to make fish food out of them!“I don't know who is doing it,” the assistant said “ but it's true, no matter how much we pay the other parties offer ten thousand more”.Alex thumped the wall “Someone is playing with us” he growled “Ten thousand bidding is nothing, they're trying to humiliate us, offer more!”“ How much more sir?”“I don't care how ever much it takes, there has to be a limit to what someone else is willing to pay for this company” he shoved

The huntSeeing what was happening, Brian got up and quickly left the room, and as soon as he was gone, Samantha opened her eyes.She had been sleeping but Brenda’s loud voice had woken her “The person in my dreams was Brian and the lullaby was the same” she realized.The following day Brian had just finished cooking breakfast and was about to wake Samantha when walked into the kitchen, he was stunned to see her smiling and had her hair pinned back most attractively but what surprised him the most was that she was humming a melody that suspiciously sounded like a lullaby, like the lullaby he had hummed to her a night before.“Shouldn't she be angry this morning?” he wondered “Did she lose her memory of what happened yesterday or what”.She saw him looking at her “What are you looking at?” she asked, but her tone was rather more playful than offensive “You never called me down for supper last night” she asked “Ummm I figured I needed to help you with your diet” Brian muttered.“What!”

THE SAVE There is a man in a hat at 5 o'clock heading east towards Brian’s direction, stone has found his target.Alex had watched the man looking at him move to the east end, he had hung back waiting till they had all moved and hoping to get lost in the chaos.He hadn't realized that brian had faked him out and used the gang members to his advantage. Stone slipped through the crowd, caught up to Alex, and grabbed his shoulder. Alex's world around “Stone” he exclaimed “I'm sorry but you won't be able to escape,” Stone said.He snagged Alex's collar and pushed him over the edge of the walkway Alex screamed in protest “If you let me go now, I will give you ten million” Alex said “Besides what do you think will happen if you catch me now? Do you really think you can deal with the heat from Duke?”“I don't think you have any idea the fire you are dealing with but still I think you stand a better chance with us than you do with Duke” Stone replied.“I have to get on that ship and away f

The secret “That's where you are wrong” brian replied “I have no intention of fighting Duke, I would be a fool to fight him head on, I wouldn't put the gang members in danger just like that”.“Then how are you going to beat him? You're not thinking of taking him on publicly, are you? In a corporate world,” Alex laughed “Do you know who he is and how many assets he controls? That's an even more hopeless situation”.“Haven't you figured it out yet?” stone interjected “Why do you think we came to your rescue”“Stone, you’re overestimating me I don't know all the workings of Duke’s empire, even Javis Hilston didn't know all about it” Stone was so shocked that he nearly let go of the steering wheel, everyone in their line of work knew Javis Hilston’s name a few years ago he had been an unstoppable force in San Clemente and every gang member assumed he would eventually become the big boss in the city he just and then he just disappeared.Rumors ran rampant but no one knew the truth of whe

THE HUMILIATION Let's not talk about this anymore, we don't wanna ruin our meal.Forty minutes later Catherine pulled up in front of one of San Clemente’s most exclusive restaurants “Common” she said “I’ve heard this place is amazing, we’ll take a group picture later to prove we are here” The street outside the restaurant was full of people taking pictures and on the inside, the restaurant was even more crowded Catherine looked around at the full tables “Samatha, we won't lose our seats will we?” she said loudly“Don't worry we still have five minutes to make our reservation” samantha replied.Catherine signed with relief she had chosen the restaurant but samantha had initially offered her the invitation as a thank-you for letting them stay at her house.” It only right that we take her out for a nice dinner” samantha thought, she pulled out her phone to check the online reservation “ they’ve saved table 47 for us so let's just find it” she said They walked around the corridor, and

THE CHALLENGEStill meeting Samantha’s eyes, Mrs. Elizabeth raised her hands and began to slow clap.“Good” she said mockingly “Very good, it appears that you are challenging both my company and my husband today.“I don't care what that woman says, even if she apologizes she is not getting out of this that easily, not when she's that pretty she has to pay,” she thought.“Mrs. Ragnar, I’m not challenging you,” samantha said evenly “but this seat was ours to begin with, you sat here and took it without permission basically you stole it from us and should we be the one apologizing for it this is totally unjust and I certainly will not accept it I think you should apologize instead” samantha was firm on her word,Seeing Samantha not budging the woman grew more furious.A fresh wave of whispering started amidst the restaurant people “This woman had just accused Mrs. Ragnar of being a thief” someone said.Catherine stared at her friend dumbstruck “Where is she getting this courage, how can

FEAR“I'm sorry,” he said “but you can trust me on this, everything will turn out fine” “How am I supposed to trust you?” Samantha responded with tears in her eyes.“My friend Jeffery is very powerful, and then I've heard about Lincoln, he's a good person, he’ll be reasonable”.“Why is he even saying these things?” Samantha thought. Instead of cheering her up, Brian’s words only made her feel worse. “I don't care about how powerful Jeffery is, he can't possibly go against the two of them, and no matter how good Lincoln is we still have to deal with his wife “Trust me,” he said again “getting his wife to cooperate is a piece of cake just leave this to me”Samantha wiped her tears “I don't trust him” she thought “But what's done is done and we can't back out now” She took a deep breath and turned to Mrs. Ragnar “Okay, I accept your challenge” she said.“Oh how sweet,” Mrs. Ragnar said, her voice dripping with sarcasm “Seeing how deep your relationship is, I think I'm going to cry” she
