Chapter 1 - Poor Richard
"Knock knock" Richard knocked on his mother-in-law's door."Come in" came her dry and weak response.It was another Monday morning in the Chrysler Estate in California. The estate was located in the wealthy region of the city where only the wealthiest lived. Politicians, business moguls and tycoons were the only ones who had residential properties here.You would expect the husband of somebody in this area to be relaxed on the balcony, sipping wine or some exotic juice and having his feet wiped by servants. But the reverse was the case in Richard's life. He was on the balcony but he was not receiving any such treatment. In fact, he was kneeling on the ground, wiping the feet of his mother-in-law, Grace Chrysler. The woman sat comfortably, intentionally moving her legs about to make it difficult for Richard to be done with the cleaning. He had to move about on his knees with the towel and water to continue cleaning her feet when she changed positions."Hurry up, you freeloader! I hav
Chapter 2 - After The Call
The entire room was silent."Hello... Are you there? Hello...?" The caller called severally before Richard finally answered."Please, today is my wedding anniversary, if this is a prank, it is very much not appreciated" he replied."We would never think of pranking you, Sir. Our boss wants to see you as soon as possible" the caller continued.At this point, Rachel walked angrily and snatched the phone from Richard. "Look, whoever you are, don't ever call this house for this rubbish again. Ever!" She warned and banged the telephone."Are you even considering that it might be true?" She flashed a silent Richard a disgusting look and stomped her way upstairs. However the phone rang again, making her stop in her tracks. "Let me get it, honey" Grace said and walked down the stairs towards the telephone to pick it.Richard stood there, silent and bewildered. He didn't know what to think. Even if this was a prank, who would think of pulling this on him? Or was this whole drama actually pla
Chapter 3 - The Paytons Arrive
"You... You don't mean that do you?" Richard asked with uncertainty.Rachel didn't reply. She just walked off. Richard couldn't sleep that night. He kept thinking about the next day. Too many things were happening at once. He had nowhere to go if the family threw him out. He had nowhere to go if Rachel divorced him. Goddamn that caller! Why would he pull such a costly prank on him at such a time. It would have been a different story if no one was at home. He would have dismissed it and life would continue. "Richardddddddd!!!!!!" The yell of his name jerked him out of his thoughts. He looked at the clock and saw that it was already 5am in the morning. He rushed out to the living room where he was being called and saw a couple of suited men seated opposite Rachel on the sofa. Grace and Samuel sat on the sofa to the side. Francis was surprisingly there rather early, sitting with Rachel, his arm crossed over her shoulders.Richard immediately got irritated but he controlled himself.
Chapter 4 - A Very Weird Deal
"I can't believe Richard would walk out on me with another woman! After everything I've done for him!" Rachel screamed. She was frustrated. Richard and Hailey had left several minutes ago but she couldn't stop replaying the scene in her head. What if it was true? What if he really had a connection to the Paytons?"You should have known that he was just a leech. I mean someone who hastily accepted to marry you knowing he had nothing at all. Come on. He will jump at any opportunity to eat some more free food" Francis laughed."I've told her to stop worrying already. Just give him 24 hours, Richard will come begging us tomorrow morning. I can already imagine him kneeling down and begging 'it was a mistake. I don't know what I was thinking'. And then I'll happily spit in his face and kick him out. Hahahaha" Samuel laughed hysterically. He was the only one who was calm and free.Grace on the other hand was still shocked that such a beautiful woman would even notice a loser like Richard ev
Chapter 5 - Meeting The Paytons
After much pressure from Hailey, Richard finally registered his fingerprint on the account and Hailey insisted that he hold the phone. He was definitely uncomfortable being in possession of such an insane amount of money but he couldn't do anything about it. "Aah, we're finally here" Hailey announced as they approached a gate that led into the Payton Estate. The gate allowed you see through and behind it was a space that spoke volumes about the Paytons' wealth. A vast courtyard decorated with expensive ornamental plants and trees as well as fountains and fruits."Wow, this is magnificent" Richard couldn't help but compliment the beautiful sight."Yea, Ma Payton is very strict on the appearance of the family home. Sir Payton couldn't care less about the appearance" Hailey informed him.Richard noticed she referred to the Payton couple as Sir and Ma instead of any parental names like Mum and Dad or Father and Mother. Maybe she was indeed adopted.But even though, who asks for a date w
Chapter 6 - The Shopping And The Date
By the time Richard could not give an answer to the manager, the entire shop had gathered around him, customers and workers alike. He looked around to look for Hailey but she was nowhere to be found. The manager looked impatiently at him. "Sir, if you can't provide your mode of payment, I'll have to call the cops to pick you. You have no proof that you didn't come here to steal" he warned.Richard felt both furious and uncertain at the same time. Where the hell was Hailey? All was this the climax of the whole set-up?"Please take him outside and wait for the cops" the manager finally ordered the security who were around.They all rushed to grab Richard. "Don't you dare lay your hand on him" Hailey thundered from the stairs in a commanding tone that forced everyone to stop and look towards her. Her appearance immediately demanded that all obedience and attention be directed to her. Looking dazzling as always, she has changed into a radiating dress that made all the customers subcons
