UNDERATED SON IN LAW Chapter 1: The weight of Expectations.
Tom’s Pov The sun was setting over the quiet streets of Oakwood, casting long shadows across the worn pavement as I trudged wearily towards the modest house that had been my refuge for as long as I could remember. As I approached the front door, I could already hear the familiar sounds of raised voices and bitter arguments emanating from within, signaling another evening filled with tension and strife.Taking a deep breath, I pushed open the door and stepped inside, bracing myself for the onslaught of criticism and condemnation that awaited me. My parents were seated at the kitchen table, their expressions pinched and disapproving as they eyed me with thinly veiled disdain."Look who decided to grace us with his presence," my father sneered, his voice dripping with contempt. "I hope you're not expecting a warm welcome, because you certainly won't find one here."I clenched my jaw tightly, biting back the retort that threatened to spill from my lips. I had grown accustomed to their bar
UNDERATED SON IN LAW Chapter 2: A Cold Welcome Home.
I went back to my family's house, my heart heavy with the weight of Jake's betrayal still fresh in my mind. As I approached the familiar door, I couldn't help but feel a sense of trepidation creeping over me. I knew what awaited me on the other side: more insults, more condemnation, more reminders of my own inadequacy. Pushing open the door, I stepped inside, steeling myself for the onslaught of hostility that I knew would greet me. My parents were seated at the kitchen table, their expressions grim as they regarded me with cold indifference."Well, look who decided to slink back home," my own father sneered, his voice dripping with contempt. "Couldn't make it out there on your own, could you?"I bit back the retort that threatened to spill from my lips, knowing that it would only serve to provoke him further. Instead, I forced myself to maintain a facade of indifference, refusing to let them see how much their words hurt me."Where have you been all day?" my mother demanded, her tone
UNDERATED SON IN LAW Chapter 3: Renewed Hope
Tom’s PovAs the days turned into weeks, the cracks in my facade began to widen, revealing the raw insecurity that lay beneath the surface. Each morning, I forced myself out of bed and trudged to work, my steps heavy with the weight of impending failure. My coworkers' disdain only grew more pronounced, their whispers and snickers following me wherever I went. Mr. Thompson's criticisms became increasingly harsh, his once-promising words now ringing hollow in my ears .And then, just as I had feared, it happened. On the seventh day of my employment, Mr. Thompson called me into his office and delivered the news I had been dreading."I'm sorry, Tom," he said with a sympathetic smile that did little to soften the blow. "But we're going to have to let you go. It's just not working out." I nodded numbly, the sting of rejection burning like a white-hot poker in my chest. As I gathered my things and made my way out of the office, I couldn't help but feel like a failure, like I had let everyone

Tom’s Pov The following day, the stranger kept true to his word and introduced me to his friend, who just happened to be the CEO of a thriving tech company. With a warm smile and a firm handshake, the CEO welcomed me into his office, his eyes twinkling with curiosity as he listened to my story."I've heard a lot about you, Tom," he said, his voice filled with genuine interest. "And I have to say, I'm impressed by your resilience and determination. I think you'd be a great fit for our team."I felt a surge of gratitude wash over me as he offered me a position with a salary that was more than I could have ever imagined. It was as if a weight had been lifted off my shoulders, the burden of uncertainty replaced by a sense of excitement and possibility."Thank you," I said, my voice trembling with emotion. "Thank you so much for this opportunity. I won't let you down." And true to my word, I threw myself into my new job with everything I had, determined to prove myself worthy of the trust
UNDERATED SON IN LAW Chapter 5: Unforeseen Events
Tom’s Pov As I left the office one evening, my mind consumed by thoughts of Vincent's relentless bullying, I barely noticed the young woman rushing towards me until she stumbled and nearly fell right into my path.Instinctively, I reached out to steady her, my hand closing around hers in a firm grip as I prevented her from tumbling to the ground. Our eyes met in that moment, and for a brief instant, time seemed to stand still as we gazed at each other in silent recognition."Thank you," she said, her voice soft and melodious as she regained her balance. "I don't know what I would have done if you hadn't been there to catch me."I smiled, my heart fluttering at the warmth in her eyes. "It was nothing," I replied, my voice tinged with bashfulness. "Just glad I could help."She returned my smile, her lips curving into a gentle curve that sent a shiver down my spine. "I'm Sarah, by the way," she said, extending her hand in a friendly gesture."Tom," I replied, taking her hand in mine an

Tom’s PovCompleting the project was the most challenging yet exhilarating experience of my life. Every day was a test of my skills and determination. The pressure was immense, and Vincent's constant attempts to undermine me didn't make it any easier. Yet, with unwavering focus and a relentless drive to prove myself, I managed to lead the project to a successful conclusion. The satisfaction of seeing it through, and the recognition that followed, was a vindication of all my struggles. A few days after the project was finalized, Sarah invited me out for a private celebration. She insisted on keeping it low-key, away from the prying eyes of the corporate world. We met at a cozy, upscale restaurant in the city, a place that exuded warmth and intimacy.“Tom, you were incredible,” Sarah said, raising her glass to me. “The project exceeded all expectations. My father is thrilled, and I’m so proud of you.”“Thank you, Sarah,” I replied, my heart swelling with gratitude. “I couldn’t have don
UNDERATED SON IN LAW Chapter 7: The announcement.
Tom’s Pov Sarah's announcement of our relationship at the office was as dramatic as I feared it would be. She did it during a company meeting, her voice clear and unwavering.“I want everyone to know that Tom and I are now officially together,” she said, smiling at me. “We’ve decided to give our relationship a real chance.”A murmur ran through the room. Some people looked genuinely happy for us, while others seemed shocked or intrigued. I caught Vincent’s eyes across the table, and they were burning with rage. After the meeting, I was bombarded with congratulations and questions. But the one encounter I was dreading came swiftly. Vincent cornered me in the hallway, his face a mask of barely controlled fury.“What the hell do you think you’re doing, Tom?” he hissed, grabbing my arm. “You think you can just waltz in here, take the project, and now take Sarah too?” I pulled my arm free, standing my ground. “Vincent, Sarah and I care about each other. This isn’t about you.” He laughed,

Tom’s Pov The next day, I arrived at the coffee shop where Sarah and I often met. My heart pounded as I waited, unsure of what to expect. I felt a mix of desperation and hope, knowing that Sarah was my last chance at vindication. When she walked in, her eyes met mine, and she quickly made her way to our table. "Tom," she said softly, her face a mix of concern and determination. "I heard what happened.""Sarah, I swear I didn't do any of it," I blurted out, my voice trembling. "Vincent set me up. He fabricated all the evidence to get me fired." She reached across the table and took my hand. "I believe you, Tom." Her words were a balm to my wounded spirit. "Thank you," I said, my voice cracking with emotion. "You have no idea how much that means to me." She gave my hand a reassuring squeeze. "You don’t have to explain everything right now. I know you, and I trust you.""I appreciate that, Sarah, but you deserve to know the whole story," I insisted. "Vincent has been targeting me ev
