Underrated Son-In-Law Chapter 20: Trust.
I don't think I was ready to hear stories like this,coming out of my marriage with Natalia hurt me a lot and I can't imagine what CEO Derrick Paul must have gone through when something even worse happened to him." Since I couldn't give my late wife all she wanted, she went to another man that could give her the luxurious life she dreamed of and sent me a text saying she will take the kids along with her. It was after their death that I saw the text." He sighed and paused and adjusted his tie.It seemed as if he felt suffocated recalling this memory." My late wife's lover had planned a trip for her with my kids like a family,because according to my ex wife I promised but I couldn't provide it and the accident occured on their way to the airport to meet her lover…" He pauses to laugh.It was more like a dry laugh and I think he was trying to cover up the hurt evident in his voice.How could his late wife do something like this?I didn't know how to console him and I didn't i
Underrated Son-In-Law Chapter 21: Grace
After having my meal I took my phone,sat on the couch and made myself comfortable as I was browsing through my old messages.If I suspect it correctly I know that Grace may try to contact me.I'm not sure she was working that day at Mr. Gabriel's house the day they drove me out. I don't have her number to contact her but I'm sure she will have her ways to text me.All the messages that I received from unknown numbers were starting from why haven't you returned?Gosh! Natalia can't you just give up.I got tired at one point but a message caught my attention."Thomas, how are you?" I could see the beginning of the message so I opened it."Thomas how are you?I heard what happened when I came to work two days later after the incident and I tried calling with my sister's number and the number got blocked after my first call. I hope you get this message in good health. Please take care of yourself and don't fail to contact me if you need any help...Grace." The text message ended.The

I waited patiently for her to speak up but she didn't and I grew impatient."Grace, don't make my thoughts wander too far." I stated."Um..Mr Thomas you won't remember but there was a time in the past when I told you to help me and call my cell phone because I don't know where I kept it when we were in the kitchen." Grace began to tell me how she got my number. "You were eating your breakfast and you helped me call my phone number..well that is how I got your number." She revealed."Oh I don't remember such an event happening." I sighed In relief,her explanation was reasonable .Grace was the one always giving me breakfast to eat so I was sure something like this must have happened but I didn't remember when."Well you won't remember because it has been like 2 years or so." Grace said softly."Wait, you saved my number from 2 years ago?" I was surprised by her revelation."Um..yes." She hummed in reply. "I just saved the number in case I needed to call you. I haven't had any t
Underrated Son-In-Law Chapter 23: Clean up
Waking up the next morning knowing that everything was going according to my plan, I felt suddenly rejuvenated with a bright smile on my face. I was still that exhausted no doubt but the happiness and accomplishment I just got made me extremely happy that I was sure I wanted to go to work today.At least now I was sure that I would be able to accomplish something before the 6 months that Oliver gave me expired.I don't think I want to see Oliver's nasty side because he acts braze at times.Even though CEO Derrick told me to stay at home I needed to go see him.I got up from the bed, ran myself a bath and took a really long refreshing bath. I wasn't actually going to work. I just wanted to go to work and see CEO Derrick Paul and celebrate our little victory and maybe come back home.This was worth celebrating given the sleepless nights I had.I stepped out of the bathtub after what felt like the most refreshing bath I have ever had.I wiped my body with a towel ,took a rob

I think CEO Derrick seemed to notice how I tensed up awaiting his answer and he smirked."I told them the truth that the idea came from one of the shareholders as well that being you, I don't take credit for the work of another man that's just shallow." He smiled.Now I know this man is just simply amazing.I don't know that such good people that had respect for someone else's hard work still exist."Thank you sir." I said in relief.I wanted to gain the trust of the shareholders of the company and this was a good start."Besides I wanted you to gain acknowledgement from the shareholder and other important personnel." Ceo Derrick revealed."We will be having a dinner meeting tomorrow evening and I will officially introduce them to you. We also have gotten more investors in our company. I am just glad that this is working out well." He informed me."It will be an honor to go for the dinner please take care of me sir." I informed him and he nodded happily."Since you have taken

The dinner meeting ended and I was still in shock.It was about 7 p.m. when we finished greeting everyone and headed into our CEO Derrick Paul car.Even as we got into the car I was still thinking,I was sitting with CEO Derrick Paul in the back seat."Are you okay Thomas?" CEO Derrick Paul asked and my attention turned to him."Why did you do that?" I questioned.CEO Derrick had already let me know before we came to the dinner meeting that the men that were at the dinner meeting were their shareholders and important people who had their own companies that wanted to invest in us.These are important men and he can't retract his words if he wanted to."Because I know it's the best thing to do for the company." He replied."But you never informed me about this ,we were together two days ago and you never informed me even before we left for the dinner meeting." I said."Thomas, didn't I tell you that I wanted to retire?" He asked nonchalantly."But that doesn't mean you have to do that so

Oliver helped me last time I asked and now I actually feel like a leech with the way he was reacting.I was thinking of telling him that I will give him two times the money he invested as a thank you aside from other money he will get from being a shareholder but I think he won't agree to that."Sorry I guess I misunderstood and spoke out of line,I am really grateful, thank you Oliver for the help you have shown me this far." I managed to smile despite him glaring at me.Oliver chuckled and I stared at him strangely.All traces of anger were gone from his face.What is Oliver trying to pull?"Of course I will help you with more money if you need money from me." He laughed suddenly and the atmosphere in his office seemed to lighten."Oliver, why are you this way?" I blurted out before I could hold back my words.He winked at me."I don't know, I just find it fun messing around with you because you are so easy to tease." He laughed."Oliver please just stop saying things that mak

Natalia's POV;For twenty minutes I sat at my office desk looking over the files that my secretary had submitted to me.I furrowed my brow as I reviewed the file.What does all this nonsense mean?I can't even understand a single word written down in this file and I can't just approve of it because the last one that I approved of failed woefully and the backlash was too stressful to deal with.My Father yelled at me like crazy and has been giving me silent treatment since then.It wasn't my fault but the fault of that stupid stockbroker I hired.He did such a lousy job at finding companies to invest in that my Father's company lost a lot of money and I was blamed for it.The only reason I was still here was because of the good resources I brought in the past.Now it wasn't the same.I flipped through the pages of the file. I cannot even understand a single thing so I don't know what I was looking for to begin with.I have already fired about 5 stockbrokers for giving me the wrong ite

A YEAR LATER Thomas's POV I was in my office looking over some files when I stopped to suddenly stare at the picture frame of Grace and I on my desk. She told me to keep it in my office so she could brighten my day anytime I felt weak. Remembering her words made a smile form on my lips. I was glad I met Grace and I was even more glad to have her as my girlfriend. She did more for me than I asked of her and she never expected me to do anything in return, that was how she showed me she loved me. Even if meeting Natalia made me go through hardships at least I met Grace and I would never want to change the past if it meant not meeting Grace again, that was how much she meant to me. Life takes drastic turns now and then all we need to do is brace up for the impact. That's what I did and I was glad I have gotten to this point where I feel confident and loved. I finally got the company back to its former glory and I told Mr Gabriel and Logan that this was what they couldn't do. Mr

Chapter 137: Two months later.
Grace's POVI was off work today so I decided to pay Thomas a visit.Thomas has asked me to come and work for him in his company and I refused because I don't think I will concentrate on work if I see him everyday, but I guess I will change my mind in the future.Mr Gabriel's company that Thomas now owns, I refer to it as his second company , Thomas's second company has few workers now because Thomas was firing most of them and rehiring.He was doing such a fine job handling two companies with small branches.I came here very early and I brought breakfast for Thomas because I know he is a workaholic and might forget to eat breakfast at times.I was free to love around now since I haven't heard from Timothy, my crazy ex boyfriend but I was careful and mindful of my surroundings.I walked into the company building. I greeted the security guards and I saw one person that made me smirk.I don't know when I started turning evil. I think Thomas has influenced me.I saw Natalia mopping the

Natalia's POVI was just standing and staring at Thomas and Grace as If I had seen a ghost.What's going on here?Why were they giggling as Grace wrapped her hand more tightly around Thomas's waist.There were two bodyguards behind them and I was just rooted to the spot not understanding what I was seeing.Grace suddenly turned to me with a smile."Natalia, shouldn't you start working you know you don't have all day, I think you know where the mop is, if you do a good job here he might offer you a better job." Grace said with a sweet smile and for the first time her smile sent shivers down my spine.Grace never fakes a smile but this time I don't understand why this smile made me uncomfortable."Grace, what are you doing here?" I asked in confusion.I was only planning on seeing Thomas here and I wanted to talk to him,there was no way he would see me in this bad state and not help me."I thought you were going to do your job immediately when you came here, I didn't think you would be

Chapter 132: Grace's family.
Thomas POVI was curiously waiting to see who just walked in."I am home." The female voice announced as she walked into the living room and I turned to look at her.He was carrying a backpack so I would only assume that this was Grace's last sibling."Good afternoon mom, " she greeted her mom with a smile."Good afternoon… who are you?" She asked when her eyes landed on me."Jane, behave yourself,it's Grace's boyfriend." Her mother scolded her.I don't actually see anything wrong with what she asked, since she saw a strange man in their living room.Her eyes immediately lit up as she smiled and ran up to."Brother Thomas?" She asked curiously as she sat beside me on the couch."Yes." I smiled and she giggled."What took you so long to come to our house? I have wanted to meet you for a long time." She pouted."You wanted to see him for a long time, did you get to know him first?" Grace's Mom asked Jane who giggled."It's a secret." Jane said as she winked at her mother."Brother Thoma

He asked."I did nothing wrong besides many of them wanted to buy your company and not help you,you know that right?" I asked him and he seemed to calm down."Besides, I was repaying you back for what you did." I said."What did I do?" He asked innocently."I knew you were the one bad-mouthing me to my business partners." I said and his eyes widened."Well it doesn't matter anymore since I have paid back your family half of the rage I feel." I said."Half? what more are you going to do to my family,we have nothing now?"

I asked him sarcastically and his shoulders dropped in defeat."You should stand up and sit down,my lawyer is coming in to finalize the deal of buying your company and mansion. If you need your lawyer present, call him." I told him."Mr Gabriel, did you hear me?" I asked as he was silent."Why are you doing this to me?"
