The tormented son-in-law's payback time Chapter 95
LOST“Thomas, get real”, said Samantha before Brian could speak. “Do you honestly think Brian has that kind of money?Even if he did, why should he do it again?” She turned to Brenda, incandescent with rage.“Why did you give all the money to him? Brian gave the money to you for safekeeping”, she shouted.“Brian gave it to me”, said Brenda. “He got it from Nick. If anything, Nick gave me the money. Not your good for nothing, husband”. Brenda said.She knew she wasn't getting anywhere by throwing recriminations around.“If the money's gone, then so be it”, she said, matter of factly.“You'd better call the police”.But deep down, she knew calling the police would be a waste of time. Technically, Sofia hadn't stolen the car, and proving that she had stolen the money would be tough.Obviously she had been planning this for a very long time and the chances of finding the money were slim.Brenda and Thomas were too upset to eat that evening.They sat quietly at the table, playing with their

RETALIATION “Walter is a local. He's worked overseas for some time now and has a lot of connections”. Jeff’s knowledge of the man was encyclopedic. He had even based the company on the business model of sea Cloud technology. “If we work with him, I'll definitely become one of the most successful men in the city”, he said, biting into a muffin.Brian looked at him. He was beginning to wonder if his enthusiasm had gone too far. “Jeffery, have you ever thought about why Walter would want to work with us when he's already so well established?” He asks. “Of course I've thought about it”, he said while drinking some coffee. “It's not hard to figure out that RAM Tech and Key International are working with us, and Walter wants a piece of the action,Thanks to your friend Nick Tomlins, otherwise we wouldn't have such a good opportunity like this”. Brian laughed.Nick Tomlins was no friend of his. “Well, he bit into an apple”. Brian suddenly thought of something. Nick Tomlins hadn't been

TORTURE“But has this situation happened before?” Brian asked worriedly.“Two companies start working together and use their power to force another into a trap”.Jeffery stared at him. “What companies is he talking about?” He wondered.“When did anyone ever try to scam the company?”“Ah, Walter said. “I assume you're talking about Ramtech and Key International, correct?Don't worry. Sea, cloud technology doesn't have the clout to do that kind of power play.Besides, people trust our integrity. “Why would we want to jeopardize the trust people place in us?If we damage our credibility, it will just make it harder to do business in the future.No, I want to conduct my business with a clear conscience”.Though he kept his outward expression earnest, he sneered internally.“A clear conscience”, he thought.That's something weak people talk about. The end justifies the means when it comes to climbing the mountain of success. And who would judge me for that? That's just the way business works.B

CONFESSION “Duke!”Walter panted. “He's the one backing Sea Cloud technology and he's the one controlling the city, and he's got even larger ambitions”. He slumped in his chair.There, he thought. “This is Brian's problem now, and if I were him, I'd be petrified.No one goes against Duke.Unless they want to end up dead”. He didn't know Brian's ultimate plan to deal with Duke.Thank you, Brian said. “Your hand probably won't suffer permanent damage.But you weren't exactly cooperative, and you've revealed some sensitive information.Do you think either Duke or Nick will let you get away with this?” “What?!”Walter broke into a cold sweat. “How do you know about Nick?” “Nick was the only outsider who knew the two companies were working with Saka Tosh Tech.I assume he's the one that told you that.Thank you”. Walter stared at Brian in astonishment. “You are the one who's controlling RAM tech and Key international. Who exactly are you?” “These are smaller companies than Sea Cloud Technol

AGREEMENTWalter couldn't hear Jeffery's words, but he could guess what he was saying.“That's a businessman”, he thought. “It's obvious he doesn't want to hurt his company's interests just to protect me.I have to convince him otherwise”.He stood up with an effort and walked over to the two men.”Mr. Andrews”, he said.You've worked hard for This company, I can understand what you're going through because I've also worked hard for Sea cloud technology.But I can promise you that if you keep me safe, I'll invest $50 million into your company. And I have a lot of business connections. I can help in other ways, whether it be technical expertise or business contacts. Whatever I can do for you, I will”.Jeffery was speechless.50 million and Walters years of experience, he thought. “I could really make this company take off”. Brian's eyes narrowed.“50 million is a lot of money”, he said.Maybe it's too much.“It would make a world of difference”, Jeffery said excitedly.“ It's a lot to inv

BRANDYSomeone started shouting.“Brandy, Brandy”.And the chant was taken up across the bar.The single spotlight turned on and an expectant hush fell over the crowd.A woman in a white silk gown stepped into the spotlight.She was tall and everything about her exuded grace and elegance.Even without saying a word, she owned the stage.Brian watched her step up to the microphone, and his heart skipped a beat.Samantha was beautiful and he loved his wife.But this woman had a different type of beauty.Samantha was pretty and polished like a model.This woman's beauty was ethereal. “No wonder he listens every week and doesn't bother her”, Brian thought.“He's probably scared of angering the heavens by hitting on an Angel”.As the music started playing, Brian glanced around the bar.Directly across from the stage, there was a mezzanine level that contained a room with a small window in it.He could see somebody in the room, but he couldn't see who it was.It could quite possibly be Duke.Brian

REJECTED“How can I repay you? Name your price”.Brian searched her face, which was curiously devoid of expression as he sipped his wine.“This is a trap”, he thought.Whatever I ask for is either going to be too little or too much”.“You needn't repay me”, he said. “There's nothing that I currently need”.He said, as he dropped his empty wine glass back on the tray.“This glass of 1994 Bartolino is thanks enough.Besides, you saved yourself. Even if I hadn't warned you, you would have been fine”.The guests looked from Brandy to Brian, confused that he would decline a reward.Brian, however, was watching the subtle changes in Brandy's face as she processed his deliberate words.”I know that many customers here have had indecent thoughts about me”, Brandy thought.“I expected this man to be at least a little bit shy around me, but he's not”.When a beautiful woman offers a reward, most men would ask for a date or at least money. What kind of man turns down any reward?And then there's the w

BRUISED“I don't wanna hear it”.She started to pick up any object within reach and throw it toward Brian. The pillows on the bed, the books on the nightstand and even the alarm clock were all fair game.Brian knew he was in the wrong. He didn't even try to duck. He just let the objects hit him.The pillows did no damage, but he knew that the book spine and the metal alarm clock would leave bruises. Samantha's hand found the lamp. She hoisted it and hurled it across the room.It struck Brian and then hit the wall with the crash, bursting the light bulb and scattering pieces of glass across the floor.Brenda had never been a sound sleeper, and the sound of the lamp crashing against the wall woke her in the next bedroom.She jumped out of bed and hurried out of her room.She knocked on the door of Samantha and Brian's room.“Samantha, honey, what's going on in there?” She called. “Is Brian causing problems? Open the door”.She worried as she waited for a reply.“Ohh dear this could be ba
