FORSAKEN SON-IN-LAW CHAPTER 161
Paced up and doing as the four of us sat in a one roomed apartment. After talking for a while and after Carl refused to leave this place, I decided we needed to stay for the night. And we were all tired, anyway. Hope and Thought just kept looking at me as I kept telling Carl he was way too emotional. When asked, they both just said we needed to deal with this on our own. That they are not involved in this and they had way too much to deal with, anyway. Their brother was their major priority and helping me to find Maria and Angel. That is all they cared for at this point. And I didn’t press on it because even I knew I needed them to do that. As much as we are staying here for the night, I wish we went on and carried on our search for my family. But Carl. These people have manipulated my stupid cat. I watched as he moved and went to stand at an open window. Refusing to listen to me and look me in the eye. What the hell did they do to my poor cat? I wanted to believe them. Actually,
FORSAKEN SON-IN-LAW CHAPTER 162
After my talk with Hope, I felt at ease a bit. He was what I needed at the moment. God made sure he was there at that exact moment and he will tell me those words he did. Because if it wasn’t for that, I would be arguing with Carl even up to now.As much as his words pierced my heart at some level, when he reminded me part of the reason Carl’s parents left was because of me, it also made me realize I own that man a lot. Because of him, I’m here. He had to go through so much just so that I could stay safe.And one question that hit me as I thought about this was why Carl needed to be imprisoned. What did my parents do to make the dread four take him and lock him up? Even when they knew Carl and my parents were not related in any way. They still took him and locked him.I wanted to ask Hope about it. But I decided it was something I need to find out on my own, or they will just lie about it as they always do with everything. But it was on my to do list. Yes, I knew it was because of me

“Thank you for listening to me,” Carl said as we made our way to talk to King and Queen.After last night, I decided I needed to talk to them if I needed to figure out how to get out of this mess my parents put me through. Also, I just needed to talk to the two of them. Nameless wasn’t invited because I didn’t want things to get even more complicated. Also Carl likes her. So if she is present, then we wouldn’t be able to come up with anything useful.But Hope and Thought said they needed to go and talk to Odin about something. I didn’t even bother asking what it was, because knowing all of them, they will just lie about it.“And I hope I don’t regret it, Carl,” I looked at him as we stopped at the door to the common room.“You won’t. They need your help. You might not marry their daughter, but at least help them to save her. Just do something about it,” he said, looking me in the eye. “And tell Maria or anyone else that I was being emotional, I will make them believe you want to marry
FORSAKEN SON-IN-LAW CHAPTER 164
We all stood in my room. Hope and Thought after a few minutes of me and King and Queen having a conversation, they showed up from the queens.And they didn’t come with any good news. The only thing they brought with them was that the queens were keeping the instrument safe and have kept it in a safer place that neither me nor Death will find it.Also that my brother was still there and they will make sure he stays there as long as I do what they asked of me. And that is giving my Carl to them. Which I will never do. My son will not marry both of them. I don’t want him to die young.Also, as they walked through the land of fea, they picked up something that would lead us to their brother. Yes, they knew something about where he was keeping my wife and daughter, but now they were certain he was here and where exactly.But that was all they brought to me. The rest was for me to figure out. They were still not playing a part in what was going on in my life right now, because, according to
FORSAKEN SON-IN-LAW CHAPTER 165
I wasn’t even sure what I was going to say to both of them. Because I knew whatever I might say might either make them lock us up or make me marry their daughter by force, or they will just end our lives. Either of what they might do sounded good to me.I have people that I need to protect. I came with them and this was on me, if anything was to happen to them because of me, I would never forgive myself. Especially Carl.We finally entered the common room as they allowed us in. Both King and Queen sat inside waiting for us.“Yes, Justine. Do you need anything?” He asked, smiling at me.I knew they might as well have sensed that something was going on. That somehow, Carl might have managed to pick up something from them and managed to escape whatever they put him through. So, I might need to be careful with what I say and do.I just smiled back at him as I and Carl took our seats, “not that much. I’m just asking for the truth.”I just ignored Carl’s glare and kept my eyes fixed on King

“What shall we do now?” Carl asked as he wiped off blood from his lips. “You said we are going to leave without attracting attention. But so much for that, huh?” He added as we watched the people looking at us.I didn’t even know what to say or do right now. Because after what we did to their daughter, who they so desperately wanted to save, they will not let us go now.“We told you to kidnap Carl and leave. If we left that very night, then none of this would have happened. You are way too attached to people. You need to lose some of those please,” Hope spoke as he walked and stood next to me and Carl.“Now get us the hell out of this mess,” Thought added, and stood next to his brother.I looked at them all, trying to get why they were blaming this on me. Yes, maybe I was touched. But I was just trying to be human. To help in any way I could. And it’s just unfortunate that it got me into this state.“What happened in there,” King finally asked and walked to me. “Where is Nameless?” He

“We will be there in a while,” Hope spoke, looking at me with delight in his eyes.We have been walking from this God forsaken forest for nearly three days now. And the only thing we managed to find close to food were apples. Which Carl was skeptical about for some reason. Anyway, he said he never liked apples.And now they were saying we were almost at the place where they suspected their brother to be keeping my wife and daughter. And I was hoping it was the place because I was going crazy with each passing day without seeing them.I wonder if my baby girl will even recognize me. She must have grown and I hope nothing has happened to either of them, because that will be the end of Death and everything he ever cared for.“Everything will be fine. You shouldn’t worry that much. I know Death would never do that. Not because he is good, that man is bad news. But because that is not his main goal. He wants you and to finish what he planned to do to your parents. Yes, he might hurt them t
FORSAKEN SON-IN-LAW CHAPTER 168
I went flying across the mountains as Death’s lightning bolt hit me. As I said, so much for keeping my emotions in check. I don’t even know what I was thinking, but immediately I saw Maria and that little girl, my heart just left its normal place and began hopping up and down. All I wanted at that moment was to hug them and feel their breath against my neck. But here we are now. Head dipped in snow.Looked up to see Hope and Thought running towards their brother as they kept avoiding whatever magical things he sent at them. But because they were good people and didn’t want anything to happen to their big brother, they did send anything to Death. They just tried to avoid what he sent to them.Then, as I turned, hoping to find what I was hoping to see, Carl stood looking at Maria. He was stationary. Not moving and not blinking. He just stood there about twenty feet from me.Then he scooped up Angel and took Maria by the hand as he carried them away from the now dead guards. I wonder how
