The Deceitful Son-in-law

It was fifteen minutes past three, Richard stood in kitchen washing the dishes and checking the spicy chicken stew on the burner at the same time. He had to get the meal ready and the dishes cleaned before five. The Weldoms family, a lower first class family that runs the Weldoms business group had a business meeting at the place. Though the Weldoms family was a first-class family in Bee City, it was still a second class family compared to the top ten families in the city, which was topped by the Armstrong family with a net worth of five trillion dollars. From the door, Victoria, Richard's wife came in with more dishes in her hands. "You piglet, hurry up," she ordered, dropping the dishes with the others. "it will soon be time. When you are done see me, I have some dirty clothes that need to be washed." "Okay love," Richard replied. "What?" Victoria shot a withering glance at Richard. "I am sorry love.. sorry, ma," Richard apologized. "You better be," Victoria thundered.

Richard crawled up the stairs to the room Ken requested to see him. When he got to the room, he was exhausted, streams of sweat running down his face. He unlocked the door and stepped into the room still on his knees. Immediately, Ken recognized his presence. He turned around and was shocked to see Richard on his knees. "Young master!" he exclaimed, helping Richard to get up. "Thanks, Ken," Richard appreciated. "Who did this to you," Ken requested. "There is no need to tell you, besides, if you knew, what will you do." "I will get the person arrested right away, these people are so inhuman, they have sold their souls to the devil. "There is no need for that Ken, I chose this path myself. So why did you call me up here?" "First master, I am very sorry for everything I said down there." "First, you don't have to be sorry," Richard chuckled. "You were only following my orders. Second, my name is Richard, I am not a young master, I will really appreciate it if you call me b

When the meeting was over, Victoria and Richard stayed away from each. Victoria's countenance was indifferent so Richard could not tell if she was actually angry with him. Richard remained at the dining hall cleaning up the place. "I hope she doesn't get too angry, I just need more time," Richard thought. Meanwhile Victoria lay on the large bed video chatting with her cousin, Emmie, she was not opportune to attend the party. "How was the party," Emmie inquired. "It was successful," Victoria replied with a smile. "I can see through you and I don't need a soothsayer to know I wasn't." "How do you mean." "My sister told me everything that happened." Victoria sighed. "Then what is this chat for." "Victoria you can't keep doing this to yourself, you need to divoice that man and get someone more suitable for you. "I am not complaining." "Just looked at the embarrassment he caused you today. I was even informed that he made aunt faint at the party." "That is not what happe

Richard was exhausted. He just finished washing the pile of dirty clothes Victoria left before leaving for work. Clumsily, he journeyed to the master bedroom and fell face-up on the bed. "Life sucks," he exclaimed. Then, his phone rang. The caller was Victoria. "Hello," Richard greeted. "Please come get me for work, I am feeling dizzy and can't drive." "But," Richard tried to say something but he changed his mind. "Are you trying to say something?" "'Yes, how will I get to your office, I don't have money to get a cab." "That's why I called you two hours earlier, you know what to do," Victoria ended and hanged up. When Richard eventually got to the office, he was in-between life and death. Victoria was already standing beside the car. She was staring at her wristwatch. "What took you so long? Or did you go to visit a female friend?" Richard was mute. Please start the car, I am exhausted. Richard got into the car and started the engine. Halfway through their journey,

At late Mr. Davis Armstrong's Villa. At about three am, Ken pulled the cover away from his body, so as not to disturb Danxo, the man assigned to keep a close eye on him. His mission tonight was to take a shot of the evidence that states Williams as Mr. Davis's true murderer and send It to Richard. It was a short note written by Mr. Davis with his signature before his death. Ken knew he would not be able to keep it for long in the Villa, before one of Willam's guards find it. When he returned to the Villa, he informed Williams that he had been away for a while because his mother was very sick and the former owner of the Villa permitted him to go and take care of his sick mother. Though Williams had some doubt about the former security officer, Ken knew he was going to retain him. Especially, to keep a close eye on him. Immediately Ken was retained, he was assigned to share a new room with Danxo but he knew that his new roommate's mission was to keep a close eye on him. A countl
