2025-08-20 20:14:45Elena was shouting in dismay “Abel Scott, that loser! He is such an embarrassment to this family! If you don’t divorce him now, you won’t be able to move forward!”
“He is such a deadweight,” she added.
“This is the perfect opportunity for us to get back on the good books of your grandma lady Natasha Lawrence” Elena's voice rising a little higher from her irritation at her daughter’s refusal.
Sarah said calmly, “I don't need her approval for anything, I never have.”
“You…” Elena growled angrily, her teeth digging into her lower lip.
“What is so good about that loser? Why can’t you just divorce him? With your eyesight back and your new role as a CEO you can marry Jones.”
Sarah Lawrence gave her mother a dead stare. “Jones? As in Jones Williams?"
“Yes! Jones Williams! If you marry him, our family can hold our heads high again. Grandma would respect us. We would be welcomed back into the family.” Elena said, gently taking Sarah’s arms.
“Think about it dear.” She added, her eyes desperately looking for acceptance from her daughter.
“Your mother is right, you know?” Mr Zach Lawrence added.
“Don’t get me wrong, I like Abel Scott. He’s a good guy.” He continued.
“If you divorce him and marry Jones Williams now that your eyes are back and you’ve got a new position, our family will immediately become a precious treasure in the family. Grandma will cherish you forever and might even Will her company shares to you on her passing.”
“We would have the life we once had. If you haven’t missed it, I have.” Mr Zach said, letting a weary sigh.
“Just stop. I won’t divorce Abel” Sarah uttered.
“You!”
Elena had wanted to keep on persuading her daughter when Abel Scott walked into the living room.
Elena Lawrence gave him a dirty look when she saw him.
“I thought you had died in your room” she snorted in disgust.
Abel Scott sighed slightly in his heart. Elena, his mother in law has always looked down on him but what would she do when she found out that he is Mr Schmidt? Or when she hears that her daughter could see and land a high paying role because of him?
“ I can’t wait to see her face when she finds out that every reason she is giving for her daughter to leave him is because of him” He thought to himself.
“However, it is not time to reveal my true identity.” He said within himself with a shrug.
Who knows what would befall him and his plans if he reveals himself now? Staying in the dark is his best option for now.
So he lowered his head and said humbly, “I’m sorry ma if I’ve caused you any troubles today.”
“Troubles?” Elena Lawrence shouted. “This is more than trouble. You are putting our lives on a hold. Can you not have the slightest decency and get out of our lives?”
“Mum!?” Sarah jumped in, “Don't say that, Abel Scott is your son-in-law.”
“Rubbish!!!” Elena growled. “What kind of stupid statement is that?” Her blood boiling. “As far as I am concerned, I don’t a son-in-law, let alone a loser.”
“I don’t have time for this today mum” Sarah Lawrence said finally having enough.
“I have a meeting with Mr Schmidt this morning and I need to be there now” she said,
She took Abel Scott's hand and dragged him out of the living room.
“I’m so tired of this girl!” Elena yelled!!!
“I’m so sorry about what my mum said about you earlier” Sarah said entering the room.
“That’s not a big deal, my love” Abel Scott said. “Prepare to go to the meeting with Mr Schmidt and crush it. I know you can do it.”
Sarah's gaze met his gaze and for a moment there everything froze. “I’m glad you are my husband, Abel,” she said, gently placing an arm on his face and rubbing it. “I’m lucky to have you by my side.”
“I have to be on my way now, I will see you when I come back.” Sarah said, smiling. She took her bag and moved towards the door.
“Sarah, I will be applying for a job in another firm today.” Abel said as she was leaving the door.
Sarah paused halfway through “that is so nice, darling. I would love to hear all about it when I get back.”
Sarah stepped outside the apartment building and a black SUV sat in front of the building waiting to take her to the company headquarters.
“Finally I will get to see Mr Schmidt in person” She thought to herself as she stepped into the car.
“What does he look like? What does he like?” These thoughts kept running through her mind.

Sarah glanced at the phone, her stomach tightened. She hesitated then swiped the phone to answer. “Hello?” Lisa's voice bellowed from the speakers.Sarah put the speaker so she and Abel Scott could hear everything. “Hello,” Sarah responded.A mocking laughter echoed through the speakers. “Well, cousin, I had the most interesting day. Guess who I saw at the interview panel today?” “You saw Abel.” Sarah's throat went dry. Lisa Lawrence scoffed a little harder. “No, I did not just see him, I humiliated him.” she laughed again. “You should have seen the shock on his face when he saw me. He froze like a deer caught in the headlights.” She added.“When I reminded everyone of the loser he is, he practically sank in his seat. Men!, his facial expressions were priceless” Lisa said, giggling really hard. “Lisa why would you do that, have you not caused enough trouble already?” Sarah said, her lips pressed together to stop her voice from shaking. Lisa laughed, “trouble?” she laughed again,

“Taxi, Taxi” Abel Scott waved. An old blue cab slowed to a stop. The driver rolled the window down“Where are you headed, sir?”“Take me to the Auburn apartments,” He said quietly, sliding into the back of the car. His chest was heavy, the vibe corporation building, the cold receptionist, the mocking laughter in the interview room, the smirk on Lisa’s face as she said “Well, well, look who crawled out”It all clogged his mind like a spider web that cannot be shaken off. He shut the taxi door muffling the noise of the city. For a moment, there was tranquility and a faint smell of gasoline. He leaned his head against the glass, staring blankly at the buildings rushing by. The voice in his head was louder than the horns outside. “Well, well, look who crawled out of the shadows” The words Lisa Lawrence struck deep pain into his heart.“What was Lisa doing on the interview panel?” “The vandels have not even purchased the company yet.”“She has the effrontery to show her face again aft

Abel Scott arrived at the vibe corporation office. The company he is applying to for the janitorial assistant position. As soon as he stepped into the parking lot, a purple Rolls-Royce parked in a spot across from him. He looked at the car without intending to and saw a young couple getting out of the car. The man was wearing a branded suit, looking very handsome and smart. Meanwhile, the lady was dressed in a flamboyant style. Her skin was glowing. As it turned out, the lady was Bianca Lawrence, twin sister to Lisa Lawrence and cousin to Sarah, his wife. And the man Alex vandel, the second son of lord Ammon vandel. Abel Scott's eyes flamed up. “What are they doing here?” He asked himself, confused. He couldn’t figure out why they were here but the best thing he could do was to avoid them because he had a greater plan for them.However, the more he tried to hide from them the more they were likely to see him. Bianca caught sight of him from the corner of her eyes. “Hi, Abel!”

CHAPTER EIGHTEEN
The tires of Abel Scott’s bike screeched the asphalt on the hospital parking lot. His knuckles were filled with bruises and a fresh cut stung his cheeks from his duel with Obadiah Simons.“She is awake, her sight is back” The nurse's voice echoed in Abel Scott’s head as he bolted through the hospital door.“Ward C, fourth floor, room 205, right?” Abel Scott asked the receptionist, ignoring the ache in his ribs.“Yes, Room 205” the receptionist stammered, but he had gone before she could say anything more, His boots hammered on the hospital floor, his leather jacket dripping rain.“Sorry!” Abel said, dodging a nurse pushing a cart.The fluorescent light buzzed but his focus was fixed on the nurses voice “She can see again”“Sarah can see.” Abel Scott muttered repeatedly, “Lisa’s plan didn’t work!?” A sense of relief lacing his voice, he clenched his fist as he reminisced more about Obadiah Simons confession. Abel Scott took the stairs, skipping two or three steps in a hurry, and burst

Obadiah Simons’ machine pistol barked, releasing short, controlled bursts that chewed up the floor and splintered the bar Abel Scott hid behind. Abel Scott rolled, grabbed a broken chair leg, and threw it. It got caught by the mezzanine railing making Obadiah Simons flinch. Abel Scott yanked a flashbang from his belt and tossed it overhead.
