Triumph Of The Belittled Son-in-law CHAPTER 109
“We are on the verge of making a major breakthrough at something that we have been planning for a very long time. I need to explain it to you in a way that you will understand so that you will understand just how foolish Mr. Ferguson is.”Vanessa snapped her fingers as if she was trying to recall an example. “What grade are you in school?”“Fifty and final grade Ma’am,” Rosette responded, her voice breaking with fear and trembling.“Oh, that’s perfect,” Vanessa gasped in satisfaction. “Now, imagine that you have worked so hard from your first year to your final year and now you are on the verge of having your certificate or award - whatever they give you guys for doing well at school.”“And then when you are to get to the podium to get your certificate, you are told that you don't deserve it and that you haven't worked hard enough. I am sure you must understand how horrible that would feel.”Rosette nodded in affirmation but she was just very scared. She would accept anything they tol

“You know what?” Paul dared, his face firing up with malice. “I am going to walk over to Benny and pick him up. If he takes my hand, it means that he agrees to go with me and then we will be on our way. There is nothing you can do about it but I would never allow Benny to spend one more minute alone with you.”With Paul’s eyes blazing with a fiery and relentless will, he walked over to where Benny was and stretched his arm.Mr. Ferguson was fuming with rage as he watched Paul walk in a daring movement of authority. Did Paul really want to dare him? Did Paul really think that there was nothing he could do? Mr. Ferguson gritted his teeth and his eyes were rolling dangerously with a spin of danger.Benny’s gaze turned to Paul’s outstretched arm. Of course, he would rather go with Paul than spend one more minute with Mr. Ferguson. ‘Only God knows if I would even still be alive if Paul left the house without me,’ Benny thought.He had been praying in his mind that Paul was going to be tho

Benny’s body seemed to shrink on itself as he trembled greatly. He wished that he could disappear from the spot or that the ground would open up and swallow him immediately. Mr. Ferguson, torturing had caused him a great deal of trauma.Paul halted his movement at the threat of Mr. Ferguson but he held Benny tightly, his eyes intent with a deadly gaze of authority.“Don't be afraid boy, I told you that as long as I am here, you are safe,” Paul said to Benny.“Shut up!” Mr. Ferguson shrieked, his voice loud as a clap of thunder. “Stop lying to the poor boy. I will pull the trigger and blow both your brains out.”Paul’s ears were hardened against Mr. Ferguson’s warning as he took a step careful of the impact that such a risky move might cause.This time, his hands were no longer holding Benny and his eyes were gleaming with an evil intent. Paul’s gaze was fixed straight at Mr. Ferguson’s finger as if he was performing a mind-control exercise. The black of his eyes rolled over the whit

Benny suddenly had a huge sense of relief soaring through him and his eyes glimmered in a twinkle of serenity.It was the first time that he really had some sort of relief since he found himself in Mr. Ferguson’s God-forsaken apartment.Seeing Paul pointing a gun toward Mr. Ferguson’s face made his fist fold in a silent rejoice. Finally, the bastard had been shown who the real boss was, he thought. He wondered why Paul was even telling him to kneel. He would have loved to see the sight of Mr. Ferguson kneeling at the feet of Paul - it would bring so much satisfaction to his heart. But more than anything, he wanted Mr. Ferguson dead.Even if he escaped, perhaps Mr. Ferguson could still find him knowing that he was at a loose end but if he was dead, he would feel at peace. He wouldn't even have to hide himself from the sunlight like he previously thought he was going to do.Mr. Ferguson hovered with a deadly flutter of hesitation as Paul's instruction made its way into his ears. He tho

“My name is Wick.”“Alright Wick, what message do you have for Mr. Ferguson?” There was a long pause from behind the door before a response finally came. “Erm, Sir, it would be more convenient if I gave him the message. I need to know that he is okay. Is he in there? What is your name, Sir?”Paul could sense that Wick was feeling scared and skeptical about if he was telling the truth so he needed to do something.Mr. Ferguson’s body was vibrating with tension as he watched the situation play out. He could recognize Wick’s voice but he didn't know why he came knocking at that time.Paul made a sharp decisive gesture his other hand cutting through the air with authority as he signalled for Mr. Ferguson to tell him that he was okay and there was nothing wrong with him.The brief silence made Wick to speak out again. He was now beginning to think that he should probably run away from the back of the door. He was going to tell Mr. Ferguson to check his phone because the same group who tr

Paul could tell that there was trouble. His body also melted in trembling as the way Mr. Ferguson screamed suggested to him that he was witnessing something terrible happen to Rosette. He desperately hoped that it wasn't as bad as he was thinking but with every second that went by, he began to doubt if it was going to get any better. He knew how brutal the Kazitanis were.There was no one in the background of where Rosette was. It was just pure darkness and Rosette’s blue eyes gleaming in the dark with a muffled cry for help.Mr. Ferguson’s voice was breaking with tears as he spoke. “Rosette, please hang in there. I am sorry this is happening to you. I am so sorry you have to go through all of these. Don't you worry eh, daddy would come through for you? Daddy would get you out of there soon.”“This wasn't supposed to happen to you. I should have protected you. I should never have allowed it to get to this situation. I know it's tough being there. I will get you back to safety okay?”

Mr. Ferguson tried to intervene concerning the weird tension that was spearing through the air. “Paul is not here actually. He sent one of his men to deliver a message but he didn't come on his own.”“Nonsense!” Vanessa screeched. “What do you take me for? A fool? I think you should be taught some lesson.”“Hey, Djene, Moffi. I think you two should show Mr. Ferguson what it feels like to experience a little bit of torture,” Vanessa spoke.Djene and Koffi, who were earlier making creepy gestures at Mr. Ferguson showed up in the video footage and with a sudden burst, their laughter erupted into a deadly roar of hysteria as their eyes sparkled with a deadly twinkle of amusement.“Hahaha, to think I was actually praising your daughter because she looks so beautiful,” Koffi spoke. “You know, I was telling my colleague that she looks so much like my ex-wife. I really don't think we should return her to you. I would like to take her far away to my hometown and marry her there.”“In my hometo

It was only Ms. Turner who could have known that Miriam was in his office because it was Ms. Turner she sent to call her. Paul recalled how Ms. Turner had some difficulty getting to Miriam and the minor altercation she had with her where Ms. Turner specifically maintained that she wasn't friends with Miriam was was only a subordinate to her.Perhaps that was the missing link that he was looking for, Paul furrowed his brow in realization.But if it was only Ms. Turner who knew about the fact that Miriam and Paul talked about visiting Mr. Ferguson, then Ms. Turner probably had something to do with why the Kazitanis knew that Paul was with Mr. Ferguson.Paul’s mind was a hive of activity as he weighed all the possible scenarios available until he concluded.Ms. Turner had to be the missing link! Ms. Turner was another mole - Paul concluded in his mind.His gut feeling was a nagging sensation, a voice in his head that kept drawing him to the conclusion that Ms. Turner was the mole - that

Paul who was darting from side to side in confusion soon saw a figure in front of him. His ropes were cut off a lightning speed as he was escorted out of the hall by a figure.Paul gasped in shock when he saw the figure that had come to protect him.“Dane Michaelson?!” Paul gasped in surprise. “Is this you? What are you doing?”Dane Michaelson was Paul’s long-term friend and high schoolmate who had always been like a guardian angel to him. He always protected Paul from bullies when he was in high school and even had a young age, Dane Michaelson had impressive fighting skills that he used to defeat anyone who came across him to defy him or any of his friends. Paul learned a few fighting skills from Dane but their friendship was put to a halt when Dane had to travel far away for a scholarship. He promised that he was going to be back though and that he would always keep an eye on him.“I told you that I would be back for you, didn't I?” Dane spoke in a hurried tone, his words coming o

He didn’t want Grandpa Leonard to suffer more than he already had and he was feeling as though he should have done more to protect Grandpa Leonard.Grandpa Leonard was also tied with bonds to the wheelchair and his face was set in a mask of grim determination as he endured the agony, his eyes narrowed with focus against the torrent of pain.“I am the head of the Imperial Society Syndicate, not him,” Pail spoke, trying to defend Grandpa Leonard.“Son, do not worry about me. This is not the time to speak of vain things,” Grandpa Leonard spoke sternly as if to tell Paul not to worry about him.The Red Witch erupted in a burst of laughter that echoed through the hall, her expression twisted into a malicious smile as she took pleasure in her evil deeds. It brought her so much joy to see Paul and Grandpa Leonard sit side-by-side and have their faces contorted with grief.Her smile curved into a malicious grin as she turned towards Paul. “Long time, no see Paul Leonard. Don’t tell me that yo

Paul could hear their voices and it was mixed with laughter and merriment. The stench of alcohol filled the place and Paul was wondering if it was the same person that was tied to a chair that everyone was celebrating about.But there was something else that caught Paul’s interest. He kept hearing them call out a Red Witch. He had heard the word more than twice already since his eyes fluttered open and from the conversation that his ears were able to pick, it seemed as if the Red Witch wasn’t just an ordinary person.It could be one of their leaders, he thought. Or could it be the person that was assigned to kill him and render whatever punishment they had against him?Paul was suddenly shocked when he received a huge flow of water attacking him on his face. He spluttered and shuddered as his body shook violently, expelling the water from his lungs. His throat was constructed painfully as he tried to draw breath. He shook his face repeatedly so that the water could fall off his face a

Sarah couldn’t help but defend herself. She wasn’t just going to keep quiet and allow things to happen to her. She had to speak up and defend herself, she thought.“I brought the antidote that is now the reason why you are alive. I suffered a lot and risked a lot to get the antidote. I had an agreement with Janet, Frank, and Thomas but they haven’t told me anything,” Sarah stammered in panic, her words tumbling out rapidly as she tried to explain herself. “I don’t deserve this treatment and I don’t understand why you have to force me here as if I shouldn’t be one of the partakers of the good things of Winston Corporation. If you knew what I did to get the antidote for you, you probably wouldn’t be treating me this way. What else do I have to do to prove that I deserve my previous position back.”Janet retorted. “Liar! Liar! You cannot get your previous position back. You are a rotten piece of dirt!l Janet retorted.”Janet was always upset by the fact that Sarah was desperate to get h
CHAPTER 196
Sarah’s voice was breaking because she wondered what she said that was wrong. “Y-e-s.”“What?!” Arianna fumed. “What exactly are you still doing at the inner chamber? You have already made the mistake of giving them the antidote but what business do you still have there?”“I just think that maybe they would—-” Sarah’s voice was breaking with tension.Arianna spoke over her in a loud frothing. “You think what exactly? What exactly do you think? Are you still delusional enough to think that Lady Winston would give you the requests that you asked for?”Arianna’s tone was insistent and her expression furious as she rendered a warning. “What exactly are you still there for when they have already shown you the writing on the wall? Oh my goodness!”“You had better start running away from there because if the history of your family’s wickedness is anything to go by, then it won’t be long until they arrest you and even do much worse to you than they wanted to do before. Do you think Lady Winst

Arianna’s voice was tinged with a hint of unease as she tried to communicate her fears. “Doctor Lopez? Wait, don’t tell me that you tried to get the antidote from him to help Lady Winston.”Sarah bit her lips again because she didn’t know how to answer the question. “That’s exactly what I did,” she finally spoke out.“My goodness!” Arianna spoke out loud, her voice ringing with a loud echo from the phone as she conveyed her disappointment. “I thought that Paul already gave you a new and improved job. What happened that would make you go back to the same mess that you were coming from.”“I just couldn’t find it comfortable there. I couldn’t stop thinking about Winston Corporation. I thought that I felt at home at Winston Corporation,” Sarah attempted to justify herself, her voice faltering because she realized the fault in her argument.“Can you even listen to yourself?” Arianna seethed, her voice rising with a cold anger and tinged with disappointment. “You are somehow trying to justi

“Do you really think that I will listen to her deceits? She has seen that Paul can do no good for her and now she wants to return to where she made a life. Oh, how foolish does she think we would be.”“In any case, I am glad that she came right into our hands because now she will get the punishment that she escaped narrowly before. Who would have thought that she would come right under our nose so easily for us to dismantle her.”Janet's cheek flushed with happiness as she smiled brightly, her eyes shining with excitement.Of course, neither she nor her brothers had the intention of fulfilling the pact that they had with Sarah. They were all trying to get the antidote and now that Lady Winston was back in a healthy condition, they could do away with Sarah. In fact, Frank and Thomas especially were expecting Lady Winston not to suspend the punishment that she had earlier placed on her.“Come to think of it. Where is she now? Where did she go? “ Lady Winston asked. They all turned the

She recalled that she had forgotten the gun that Arianna gave to her in Doctor Lopez’s office. That gun was the evidence that was going to stand against her if Doctor Lopez died. Her mind started reeling with desperate thoughts. What if she had committed murder all for nothing? Was she going to lose on both ends? How long was she going to keep foolishly trusting her family to back her up and then proving that they were always going to stab her in the back?An investigation was going to be carried out into what happened with Doctor Lopez, she reasoned. They were going to trace it to her and tell Paul about it. She couldn't imagine how disgusted Paul was going to feel to learn that she had betrayed him even much more intentionally this time.The inner chamber had high ceilings adorned with intricate carvings. The walls were lined with tapestries and brilliant decorations conveying a sense of power and prestige. Frank and Thomas led Lady Winston until she reclined on a sumptuous chair

Lady Winston soon spoke, her words drowned with fatigue and her speech slow and deliberate as she feigned an extra bit of tiredness. “Hello everyone. I appreciate that you have all come here to witness this moment. I appreciate all those whose prayers and thoughts have been with me.”“But as you can see, I am recovering from a very delicate condition that would require that I have a long rest so I will be accompanied by my family - Frank, Thomas, Estevan, and Janet who I am sure must have been working day and night to ensure that I am back to normalcy.”The employees all erupted in applause, their faces contorted with nervousness as they gradually returned to their duty posts.Sarah’s expression was glazed, her eyes unfocused and her mouth hanging slightly open as she stared blankly, her features slack with confusion. Her haze was disoriented as she stared back and forth, her expression clouded with confusion and uncertainty. The applause was like a torment to her because it was cons
