Whispers of Wealth: The Mysterious Son-in-law Ch- 119 : Blanket
As soon as Violet disappeared from view, Mariella whirled around and made her way back to the house as quickly as she could.If not for this crass girl interrupting her, she would have changed and settled into her chair already, prepared to play up her misery for sympathy, and of course, drama.And thanks to that hellspawn, here she was, sneaking in now, in spite of having reached the mansion a complete ten minutes ago. She was moving silently through the hallways, hoping that she wasn't too late.As soon as she stepped into the living room, she spotted Cassie's figure turning the corner to her room, like a bucket of chilled water had been splashed all over her plans.But there was still hope- Cassie had been oblivious to her, and if she could just remain unseen by her or Mark until she reached her room, everything would be perfect.___________Mark and Cassie had barely reached home, when his phone began to ring. Mark had all the intentions to ignore the call and accompany Cassie to
Whispers of Wealth: The Mysterious Son-in-law Ch - 120 : Tearful eyes
Mariella had reached her room in no time, having successfully avoided any run- ins with Mark, Cassie or that annoying chaperone that Mark had appointed for her. Her old bones might be capable of fooling the world, by giving the impression that she required huge support even just to stand up, but she knew that she was strong and efficient enough to run an entire marathon with those legs of hers. And if not for pity, attention and rest, she would have never accepted the fact that she was old, either!It was just that she knew the only way to get an easy way out of every misery- from the company going bankrupt, to her getting in trouble for the sins she had committed. Her old age was the unseen weapon she was using on everyone, and at every possible place she could find a place for it.And the best part about this was, no one suspected her, let alone being able to find out the truth! And today, she was again going to use this weapon of hers to create another misunderstanding between M
Whispers of Wealth: The Mysterious Son-in-law Ch- 121 : Third wheeling
"What is it?"Cassie asked, pausing the spoon mid air, while Mark took this opportunity to take the spoon in his own hands and blow on the soup to make sure it was cold enough to eat and hot enough to enjoy the flavor of the soup.He fed it to her as he opened his mouth to complete his sentence. "We have to leave for Lancaster tomorrow-""Tomorrow? So suddenly!" The unknown fear of being judged by her in-laws grabbed Cassie in its grip.She had been fortunate to not go through this fear in the initial days of their marriage, while also being the witness of how badly her family had treated Mark in the first place.It was true that she had already met his family and they were all very loving and caring people, but still, she was frightened. Back then, she had met them as a guest, not the only daughter-in-law of such a prestigious family. Mark seemed to sense the fear Cassie was feeling at the moment, as he coaxed her gently. "Why are you getting nervous, there is nothing to be nervo
Whispers of Wealth: The Mysterious Son-in-law Ch- 122 : My wife
After Alex disconnected the call, he realized that Mark might have somehow saved himself from his wrath for skipping the party. But there was someone from whose wrath he had to save himself now! Because no matter how generous he was towards his best friend, his sister was never going to forgive him for the heart attack he might have given her, because of the surprise.Thinking this, he stepped towards her room, assuming that she was going to pop out the moment he knocked on the door.But when no reply came after three knocks, he became a little anxious and opened the door without any delay, fearing the ominous… Only to find his sister sleeping peacefully like a child.It is true that the person who thinks about others' happiness before their own, is blessed with the world's best sleeping rituals.Perhaps, the party and work has worn her out. He would talk to her tomorrow, and by talking he strictly meant that he would hear her scolding.This was when a message popped up on his scree
Whispers of Wealth: The Mysterious Son-in-law Ch - 123: Garden party
As per Mark's demands, everyone headed towards their own rooms, without discussing a single word about what had been said.After a few minutes, he entered his room, only to find Cassie sitting near the window that once used to be his favorite spot in the room, if not the whole mansion. He approached her, wrapping his arms around her waist as she looked up with hundreds of questions in her eyes.He softly kissed her temple and spoke up before she could ask him anything."You don't have to worry about anything, okay? Nobody can raise a single finger at you, as long as I am by your side."The words that Cassie had at the tip of her tongue remained there, as she nodded silently and sunk into his embrace. The scent of familiarity lingered- a blend of cologne, the comforting aroma of well-worn pages, and the subtle hint of Mark's presence, making her feel peaceful at last. ______The afternoon was progressing as per the plan.The party was going to start shortly, and despite the grand oc
Whispers of Wealth: The Mysterious Son-in-law Ch -124 : Good idea
Anthony looked at the baffled expression on Nina's face after hearing that he didn't care about how happily they were celebrating the news of their daughter- in- law being pregnant. Feeling quite pleased with her reaction, he gave a half- smile and spoke;"Nina! Let them celebrate, let them be distracted from all the matters of business for a while, as well as whatever else is going on right under their noses… and everything will be in our favor.""But you are the one who put everything regarding the aviation deal on pause!"Nina retorted the moment Anthony ended his sentence."Yes! And I will be the one to tell you when to initiate the proceedings; because right now, I am looking at something new. But leave that for now- tell me, has Connor reached the edge of desperation yet, where he is ready to do anything after knowing that his plan has failed miserably?"A smirk appeared on his face."Yes! He is going insane, I just got the news. But I am still not understanding, why are you
Whispers of Wealth: The Mysterious Son-in-law Ch - 125 : Queen
Alex took a total of twenty minutes to complete the entire story, starting the evening when he had dropped by at Mark's new villa, unannounced. Towards the end, Mark finally found the opportunity to add;"I know her grandmother, cousins and brother have always manipulated her, every single time. And this decision was also one of the results of that manipulation.But trust me grandpa, she is not a bad person. She also wants our kids, just as much as I, or anyone else in my family, wants them to come into this world."Maxwell was now forced to re- think his words. Because so far, it seemed like Marcus was right.He had been a really fair person to everyone in his life, and had always tried to think from the perception of everyone.Although he was also not sure why, but whenever it came to Marcus or his wife, he tended to become a little more strict and a little unfair too.After the story they had just narrated to him, it had already made him think that he needed to give Cassie one mor
Whispers of Wealth: The Mysterious Son-in-law Ch - 126 : Midnight knocks
On the four- poster bed in Mark's room, he and Cassie lay fast asleep in each other's peaceful embrace, while the room was dimly lit in the soft glow of the moonlight that was pouring in from the open window, along with a chilly breeze. The night had settled in, and the Rover estate was covered with a blanket of tranquility. Meanwhile, the couple was completely dead to the world as the events of the day, filled with melodrama, celebration and revelry, had finally taken their toll.Close to midnight, the silence of the bedroom was shattered by a series of loud, banging noises. The resounding knocks on the door were sharp and insistent, causing Mark and Cassie to be startled awake. Cassie stirred first, her eyes flickering open, and Mark followed suit as he lifted his arm and flicked on the bedside lamp to confirm the source of the sound. The knocks persisted, echoing through the room, and Mark, who was still groggy but slowly coming back to his senses, untangled himself from the she
