Tyler Welensky's Rise To Power

Chapter 0004

Bella drove Tyler around and the car finally stopped in front of a door. It was his in-law's house and he could already feel the high temper of Claudia, his mother in law from outside, a hot-tempered woman filled with pride and no respect for anyone.

“Mind if I come in with you?” Bella asked. “Nah it's cool, I'll be back in a short’.”

Tyler knew he would definitely receive some harsh words and treatment from his wife's family, he wasn't new to being humiliated in front of everyone, but he didn't want Bella to see it happening. “It's better to face this alone” he whispered to himself, sighed deeply then walked in.

He could perceive the sweet aroma of the food that was being prepared, he saw his mother in law moving dishes around at the dining table “If only your heart could be as nice as the aroma of your food.” Tyler whispered again.

“What are you doing here Mr. No money? I heard my daughter divorced you and you have the nerve to step foot in my house?” Claudia said angrily.

“Good day Mrs Claudia.” He ignored her harsh words.

“Look here Tyler, your presence is already making the house smell, you must leave immediately, we don't wanna wear no nose masks.”

“I really need to speak with Elena about our marriage, about our future.”

“There's nothing to speak about, if you really care about my daughter, then you should leave her alone cos a man like you can only ruin her life.”

“Please Mrs Claudia, I'm only here to talk.” “Get the fuck outta here One-shirt man.”

Just a few minutes in the house and Tyler was already tired with the insults raining on him. He was just about to say something before he saw his wife Elena walking in as she held hands with Jose, the man she was in the hotel with. “Oh shit!” She said immediately she saw Tyler and her expression changed.

“When I walked in and smelt the stench, I knew you'd be here. What are you doing here? We are divorced!”

“I haven't signed the papers yet.” Tyler said, resisting the urge to smell himself.

Jose looked at Tyler making an irritating face “Why can't you just leave already? Loser. You're so difficult to get rid of, just like the mud on my expensive shoes.”

Tyler could notice Elena trying to hold in her laughter, she enjoyed every time Jose made a degrading joke about her husband.

“Forgive my manners, please sit down with us Jose, food is ready.” Claudia said with a smile as she dished the nutritious meal.

Jose took a seat at the table and Elena sat close to him taking his hand as she played with it. Tyler walked to the table and just when he was about to sit, his father in law slammed the table “Get your dirty ass off my chair!”

Tyler immediately froze in the motion, then stepped back from the chair. “You are not qualified to be here, you are not fit to eat at the same table with us. Get lost!” Logan, the father in law added.

“You need to listen to me.” Tyler said calmly.

“No, you need to get lost if you don't want to be humiliated, and please do it fast you know you smell.”

Tyler turned to leave, then paused for a moment “I am not going to remain like this forever.” He declared.

“Yeah we know you're going to become poorer, please leave already.” Claudia responded.

“One day, I'm going to have money!” Tyler turned to Elena “You need to give me another chance, let's get a fresh start.”

“You plan to have money by being a janitor? Or a delivery man? Wake up Tyler.”

“Delivery man? He doesn't even have the job anymore. He lost it!” Jose interrupted.

Tyler looked deep into Jose's eyes “Why does he keep speaking? What's his position here?” He mumbled as his fists clenched from the anger burning inside him.

Claudia stood up from her seat and pointed a finger directly at Tyler. “Young man you need to leave right now! Stop disturbing the family's meal. You're not part of us!”

It hurt to hear her say that “Not part of them? Did she just say I'm not part of them? Isn't this the same woman who used to hug and welcome me when I visited her with gifts? Now I'm completely broke and then I'm not part of them?” Tyler questioned himself then came to a conclusion. He walked straight to pick up a pen from the table and signed the divorce papers, “It's clear no one wants me here anymore, I've been a fool for not accepting that earlier.” He said walking out the door.

“Look at him walking out with the rags on his body.” Claudia said and everyone at the table laughed.

“This fool can never be compared to Jose even if he works hard for 50 years. He's born to be a loser!” Logan declared.
