Triumph Of The Belittled Son-in-law CHAPTER 72
“Of course, you can go, I am just messing with you man,” the guard reiterated, his face still dripping with remains of his laughter.“But, on a more serious note, I hope you brought something to make the Monarch happy,” the guard said, his face now more serious than before. “He is not exactly in a good mood now so perhaps you might not want to worsen it.”“This way please,” the guard said after conducting a brief search.Jude was led by other guards to where Monarch Thompson was, his legs feeling heated up as he walked across the corners of the castle.He finally got to the room where Monarch was. The room glittered with a majesty and its walls were adorned with ancient drawings and tapestries. The ceilings were covered with ancient paintings and the ground was made of marble. Jude couldn’t help but silently admire the wonderful ambiance.Monarch Thompson had his concentration fully on his painting. He dipped his brush into a palette, his hands moving in a deadly grace and his mind s

Monarch Thompson soon retracted his hands in recognition that he was probably blaming the wrong person. His eyes were still red-filled in anger though.“And the security card that is with me? What was his reaction to it? Did you tell him that I am going to destroy it if he doesn’t bow to me and pay me the 300 million dollars he owes me?”Jude didn’t exactly tell Paul that he was going to destroy the security card but at that point, he needed to say exactly what the Monarch wanted to hear. “Yes, I told him. I warned him sternly about it,” Jude responded, his eyes still burning with fear.It was a mystery to Jude how foolish he was to think that he was going to tell Monarch Thompson to return Paul’s security card.Being in the presence of the monarch, the thought didn’t even creep into his mind. He was recalling what Paul told him about not helping his wife Sarah with her delivery if he didn’t retrieve the security card from Monarch Thompson.But that was definitely an empty threat, Jud

***Miriam clutched her head to a desk. Her mind racing with thoughts. She was tired and weak as the work she had to do was gruesome. She had laid her head for about an hour but there was no sleep. It was strange, how could she be so tired and yet unable to sleep? She decided to head out for a walk and put on her headphones.The road was quiet - perfect for a little exercise and it turned out she was already wearing shorts, the fabric light and comfortable. She was also wearing a tank top that clung to her skin comfortably, its straps a good fit for her curves.But that was another strange thing. She wore shorts and a tank top to work that day. How could that be? It had never happened before. Miriam hurried her feet as she took off on a run but she realized that it was the same dress that she wore to work. She recalled that she didn’t go home to change her dress, or was she hallucinating?The music she was listening to made the run more interesting. It was giving her vibes that stre

She muttered a prayer for mercy as she ran through the thick forest. Her legs didn’t stop until she hit a barrier, her whole body landing in a heap at the figure in front of her.Miriam was careful enough to make sure that one of the trees didn’t trip her down even though she was running at a high speed. But it wasn’t a tree that halted her run if not she would have been down on the ground with injuries to her face and body. The creature would have also eaten her up.Miriam looked up to see clearly who it was. She gasped in disbelief as her brain calculated the person in front of her. Her whole body was frozen in silence as she thought that she had seen a ghost. Her eyes must have been playing tricks on her- very expensive tricks. Her feet were rooted to the ground in terror as she struggled to catch a breath. Miriam turned back to see if the creature that was pursuing her was still there and to her surprise, the creature had vanished completely. The terror was no longer there - only

The hitmen were about to fight with each other in what was about to turn into a heated argument until they heard the sound of a whistle.PHEEEW!Cyborg, the head of the mission assigned to rescue Ms. Serfa and kill Miriam raised a fist in the air.“Enough!” Cyborg yelled prompting the other hitmen to disengage from each other as they were about to start trading punches.“It’s time to end this once and for all. It is a massive success that we can capture Ms. Zendaya because as I heard, she is one of the closest friends of Paul.”“We mustn’t forget our aim. We mustn’t be distracted, we must fight to the end until the Imperial Society Syndicate crumples,” Cyborg folded his fist as he gave the pep talk.“Yaaaayy!” The hitmen screamed excitedly.“Now, I would have loved to take the honors and kill this scum myself,” Cyborg uttered, referring to Miriam who just sat tied to the chair, her body messy and her eyes sunken in exhaustion.“But I will let one of you do the honors,” Cyborg uttered,

Miriam’s body softened, and her breath released in an escape of worry. Perhaps Olivia had a way of escape, she reasoned.“Now, let’s all go get her now,” Cyborg ordered and the hitmen all readied their feet, their weapons sharpened. “She has definitely not gone too far. It’s funny how she thinks that she can escape in this deserted area.”“Serfa, you stay with Miriam,” Cyborg commanded. “Punish her a few more, hit her, slap her, just humiliate her a little more in readiness for when we come back but don’t kill her yet. I want her death to be fun.”Ms. Serfa nodded in pleasure, a smirk on her face as she listened intently to Cyborg’s instruction while the rest went out in search of Olivia.***The newborn cried, her voice a desperate plea for attention to the delight of everyone in the room.The baby was a delicate creature with beautiful eyes, a tiny precious gift, and a miracle of creation.Camille, who had been gesturing and encouraging Sarah to push the baby out couldn’t help but s

“I am sorry Sir. Of course, how dare I undermine your authority. I am always ready to obey your instructions,” Ms. Turner assured calmly. She didn’t want the situation to escalate.“Good!” Paul spoke and they both got into one of the security vans.The drive to Coastwaters Lane was very difficult, especially for Paul whose eyes were fixed ahead on the road every moment. He hoped that he would arrive at the venue on time and that they had not killed Miriam yet. He didn’t know what it would be like for Miriam to be dead - she was one of his closest friends and not just an employee.It was difficult to imagine and that was why he could not just take Ms. Turner for her word that she was dead. He had to go see for himself.They soon got to Coastwaters Lane and drove along the deserted area until they got closeby to the warehouse.“Give me a gun,” Paul said to one of the armed agents.The agent’s gaze was hesitant as his eyes flickered in a deadly brow. He wasn’t sure if Paul was skilled en

The agents had their eyes sharp with a deadly focus of vigilance and their hearts steeled as they moved a few steps forward.Paul and Ms. Turner, who had followed the agents were no longer with them as they were inside the warehouse untying Miriam.The agents stood at attention at the command of their leader when he sensed some danger.POW!A gunshot escaped between the trees and fell on one of the agents.Agent Hawthorns, the same man who gave Paul a gun was shot dead, his whole body landing on the ground to the dismay of the other agents.How tragic!The other agents fired up with an angry resolve, their fingers pulling the triggers repeatedly as they fired through the trees.POW! POW! POW! POW!The gunshots were loud and continuous. It was a complete show of anger and retaliation from the agents.It proved too much of an attack for Ms. Serfa who fell to the ground in a heap - one of the many bullets hit her destructively.Ms. Serfa gasped for breath with a ready rasp for agony, her

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

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
