Wrath Of The Vengeful Son-in-law

HIS VOWS

CHAPTER 4: HIS VOWS

Giovanni returned to his cell and when he shut the door behind him, he crouched down to the ground, crying really hard. Everything is so real to be true… it’s just unbelievable. If anyone had told him that this would happen to him last two weeks, he’d have just laughed at the person and ignore the person.

" Giovanni! " His father approached him and squatted right in from of him. He held his shoulder, making him look up with his teary face.

" I haven’t even ask what I’m doing here? Is this how all the inmate cell are? Who are you guys? " He asked, still crying. He can’t even get his hand on what he did wrong or where it all went wrong. Looking back at things, he’s never done anything bad to deserve all that’s happening to him.

" I didn’t do anything wrong to that family, yeah! I’m poor but I’ve never wronged any of them. You see Florence, she’s the love of my life, I’ve never for once stopped loving her. Even though I don’t have enough to provide for her but I’m always showering her with love and attention. I just don’t understand where it all went wrong…" His voice was filled with pain that his father couldn’t help but to pull him into an embrace.

" It’s okay… women like them don’t deserve your tears. Why don’t you just make her family pay? Make her pay, too! Make sure she never gets away with it. " On hearing that, Giovanni pulled away from the hug and ;looked straight into his father’s eyes with his tears filled eyes.

" I don’t have any power to do that. You might have heard me threaten Florence but that was just empty, I don’t have anybody to rely on, I’m just alone on this Earth… Please, don’t take my threat seriously. " Mr. Golden smile warmly and asked; " Do you know who I am? " Giovanni brows twitch into a little frown on hearing that.

Who else could he be? Judging from his look, he might be someone in the highest rank among the warders. Giovanni’s next reply took him off guard; " Aren’t you one of the warders in here? Perhaps, you’re in the highest rank…" The stand-men almost cracked out loud on hearing that response.

Mr. Golden got on his feet and stood in front of the standing mirror in the room, checking himself out. Then, he turned to one of the stand-men and asked; " Sam! Did you hear what your boss just said? " The blonde hair guy among the stand-men bow and apologized;

" I’m sorry sir! Young master might not have any idea who you are…" Giovanni wiped his tears on hearing their gibberish. He slowly stood from the ground and he walked up to Mr. Golden who has a questioning look on.

" Who are you? " Giovanni asked and Mr. Golden replied bluntly;

" I’m your father of course! " Giovanni snickered at the expensive joke the man beside him just made. Like, what? He doesn’t even have a father; he doesn’t even have any parents that raise him up. So, what is this old man saying?

" I know I’m poor but I can’t be dumb with it, you know? I grew up with no one and I don’t have any relative. I’m just some random guy who grew up in the street and was taken in as a live-in-son-in-law of those family who are now responsible for everything I’m going through. " Giovanni elaborated well to make the man understand so that it won’t have to end up bad for him.

" I know it’s hard to believe but you’re my son and to give you the utmost shock for you deal with altogether, you’re the heir of the Golden family, so, your assuming highest ranking warder is Mr. Golden, standing right beside you. " Giovanni snickered, trying to process all what he just heard and when realization finally hit him, his eyes went wide.

The Golden? Mr. Golden? How can he not know who the Golden are. They are the top billionaire leading the chart of fame, wealth, business sales increase and all-important things. They own the entire Golden City and many other states under Accolade Hills. All he’s ever heard about them is how they kept hitting rock bottoms with no failures and from the news, their heir is said to be Addams Golden, So, what’s the heir thing about him?

He faced Mr. Golden, then, asked; " How am I your son whe…"

" When I have Addams Golden, right? " Mr. Golden interrupted and Giovanni nodded.

" Addams Golden is my adopted son. I met him at one of the orphanage homes I visit at times… " Mr. Golden elaborated and Giovanni mouthed an oh.

" How sure are you that I’m your son? " Giovanni asked for the umpteenth time and Mr. Golden avoided the matter, bringing something else up;

" Why don’t you go rest up for the meantime, or.. don’t you want to beat those scoundrels that made you like this to pulp? " He asked and Giovanni’s eyes widen in total discernment. How can he forget about them so easily but this isn’t the right time to think about this. He faced Mr. Golden and the man hit his palm on his forehead in frustration.

" Tell me! what do you want? " He asked and Giovanni placed his hand on the man’s shoulder, confusing him more.

" If you’re going to tell me you’re not my so…"

" I wanted to say you should walk me back to the bed. " Giovanni interrupted and Mr. Golden went mute. At this moment, there’s no assurance that his own son is twenty-five years old.

He walked him to his bed and help him sit on it before sitting beside him.

" You have to get better soon, you can’t fight the world in this your situation, you know? " Mr. Golden asked and Giovanni chuckled.

" To be honest, I’m still in shock upon this revelation… how can I be an heir to the wealthiest family in the whole of Accolade hills and end up suffering this much? Do you know how many humiliations I’ve put up with just because I wasn’t rich? Despite being the live-in-son-in-law of those bastards, I never got the chance of getting a job, not even for a trial.

Life was really hard for me to the extent that whenever I’m alone, I just wish something will come from nowhere and just take my life but after witnessing what death really is, I don’t want to die anymore. I felt shitty after all what was pulled on me. as if sending me to jail in place of their son wasn’t okay, they even set thugs up to get me killed!!! " Giovanni wiped his tears, gulping down the lump forming in his throat.

Then, he added; " If I’m really the Golden heir as you put it, I promise to show them my wrath… I promise to make them feel the pain worse than worst. I’ll crash them down from their root and make sure they have no name to live up to. I’ll make their life miserable to the extent that they’ll ask for death but death won’t come to them…

And to all those that called me different names, they’ll regret ever having a position that puts them in a place of disregarding someone else’s life. Thousand of heads shall bow wherever I step ingo and I, Giovanni Golden Smith shall make every life that once looked down upon me worthless of living! "

A wide smile spread across everyone’s face in the room as they watch their master take his own oath of living in this dangerous world with a dangerous mind.
