Charles Walker's Undeniable Throne

Chapter 12

“Alright dear.”

“Continue to be deceived by this useless bitch since you have refused to receive sense and divorce him until your grandma throws you out of Thompson petrochemical group. And mind you, I will never forgive you if my little monthly allowance got stopped because of your uncultured and stubborn attitudes of refusing to trash this nobody.” Mrs Rose Andrea told Olivia.

“Could you please allow Olivia and Charles to rest their heads for once!” Mr Andrea Marcus asked his wife.

Although he doesn't like the fact that Olivia had refused to put an end to her relationship with Charles, she was still her daughter and by extension, Charles was his son in-law. He liked to respect his father's wish and since Olivia was keeping that wish of his father whose love towards him was premium, he didn't want anyone to disturb her decision and stand again.

“Oh! You are now supporting her marriage to this useless trash?” Mrs Rose Andrea snorted back at her husband coldly.

Little wonder, it is said "show me useless husband and I will show you a most useless son-in-law and senseless daughter!” she said scornfully.

She hated her husband the most.

First, he wasn't able to defend his family before other members of the Marcus family at Villa and was treated as trash before his Mother while he didn't utter a word but only lowered his head making his face look downward. Now, he is defending this useless Charles over herself and making her the bad person for what will benefit them should Olivia listen and divorce him.

“You all are just bunches of foolish and useless people in this house. You irritate me! Huh!” she added.

Pointing to Charles Walker, she said “I don't want to warn you again before you stop landing my daughter into trouble and disgracing us in this house before others.”

Meanwhile, Charles and Olivia were indifferent to her ranting and only turned to go inside their living room as Olivia said cheerfully to Charles “let's go to our room dear.”

“Go where?!”

“Have you made dinner foolish bitch or you're waiting for me to go and prepare the food for myself and this foolish husband of mine?!” Mrs Rose Andrea growled angrily.

“I am sorry Mom. I will go get the dinner prepared right away.” Charles replied calmly, swallowing all the insults.

He quickly excused himself before them and entered the kitchen to get the dinner ready for the family.

Shortly after he entered the kitchen, Olivia went in too trying to assist him. She could not just watch him do all the cooking alone after all, he was her husband.

“Hi, dear. Let me help you with the cooking, she said while trying to put on an apron.”

“You go and rest and allow me to get it ready in a jiffy,” he replied, taking the apron from her hand.

She tried persuading him to allow her to stay with him in the kitchen but didn't succeed as he refused every one of her strategies to stay behind.

“I don't want you to stress yourself again today darling. You have had a strenuous day all-through from Grandma and others and it will be unreasonable for me to allow you to get stressed again,”  he cajoled her.

“Alright dear.”

She finally gave up having exhausted all her known strategies to stay with him in the kitchen but failed in each of her strategies.

After an hour later, he was done preparing the dinner. He went straight to set the dining table and served the food for his parents in-law, his wife and Olivia.

“Charles, I wanted you to accompany me to a raffle draw show tomorrow. There is this big raffle game and money investments that I played last month and tomorrow is its harvesting day and I would like you to carry my bag and accompany me there.” Mrs Rose Andrea said while taking her seat in the dining room.

“Mom, you have not stopped all these nonsense raffle games and Ponzi schemes that you are into which you have promised to put an end to?!” Olivia enquired. She had pleaded with her mom to stop all forms of Ponzi schemes and raffle games which had been burning all her monthly allowance, upkeep and savings but the  greedy Mrs Rose Andrea had refused to accept that innocent pleading of hers.

“Charles, did you hear what I said that you would carry my bag and accompany me to go harvest my investment?” Mrs Rose Andrea roared in rage ignoring Olivia's outburst.

“Yes, mom.” he replied calmly.

What time would you want me to go with you tomorrow?”, he inquired from his mother-in-law.

“The show will go live by 11:30 am at Central Swansea exchange hall but we will be going by 10:30 am so we could be there on time.” she replied Charles.

Charles weighed the possibility of him going to Megan group to complete the takeover procedures of the company and instruct the company's management to facilitate and announce the new ownership and chairman of the company and as well the launching of the trading hub operations and investments. It would be possible for him to complete the processes at Megan before the time his mother-in-law said they would be going and he quickly replied, “alright mom, I will be available then.”

Meanwhile, Andrea Marcus and his daughter Ms Olivia were thrilled watching the duo mother-in-law and son-in-law conversing calmly for the first time without insults halling over the later. They didn't bother to interrupt the calm weather but only smiled while they ate their dinner in peace.

After the dinner was over, Olivia greeted her parents goodbye for the night and said to Charles, “dear now let's go to our room.”

She wanted to ask Charles how he intended going to the hospital tomorrow for Mr Rambo's discharge and as well as go with her mom to the raffle game show at Central Swansea.

Charles who already knew what was in her mind which was glaring on her face said, “why are you troubled dear? Don't worry if it's how I'm going to cope up with the task tomorrow for brother Rambo will be discharged from Damson Hospital at 9:00 am so I can actually be available for us to go to Central Swansea by 10:30 am.”

That statement calmed Olivia's nervousness and she could only respond to him “alright then,” while she lay on her bed.

Charles quickly laid his mattress out on the floor beside the bed and lay on it to sleep as usual
