FORSAKEN SON-IN-LAW CHAPTER 167
“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
FORSAKEN SON-IN-LAW CHAPTER 169
As I thought about everything that has been happening from the time I realized I was a billionaire. The time Roland called to tell me that my parents died and then he came and told me they left all this money, my life has been a total nightmare, nothing has gone right ever since that day, and now I wonder if it was bad to accept everything my parents left me.Because my life was a bit simpler than before, all the money came in. Maybe more money means more problems. Maybe that phrase is true because it has proved to be true for me.Looked at me right now. Standing in front of Death as he and his siblings talk their family issues off. And in all those family issues, I was playing a part. Before this, I was just a son-in-law working for his father-in-law’s company.Yes, during that time, maybe Maria might have lost her way, but that was because of her parents, as she explained. They forced her to sleep with Pit because of all the money he was going to bring to the family. But my life was
FORSAKEN SON-IN-LAW CHAPTER 170
I looked at Odin as he smiled at me, realizing all this time I wanted him for something else and not what they all thought.Then I turned to the dread two. Hope and Thought, and I knew they were trying to look brave and all. But in all actuality, they were terrified and worried. Deep down I knew they loved their brother even though he acted stupid and was proving to them he was far gone to be saved.They tried everything they could to help him, but he never tried to change what he was. No matter what they did.Even today, they both tried mostly Hope, he tried to bring the man back. To make him come to the light and see that what he was trying to do was stupid. But nothing. Maybe he was far gone, as Thought said. Maybe their brother was not there. Someone else took over and we can’t change that. No matter what.“You know this only worsens things for all of you, right? I tried showing mercy to you and your family. Because I thought you were different from you parents. But I guess the ap
FORSAKEN SON-IN-LAW CHAPTER 171
“Suzan?” I shouted as I looked at the woman holding my brother’s hand. “What the hell is going on here? You are supposed to be dead, woman. Frazer, what did you do?” I asked as I walked backwards, trying to understand what the hell had just happened.The last time I saw her was when her parents allowed her to die. When Revoc killed her and they allowed it. I have been upset with them because of that as well. Maria doesn’t even talk to them because of what they allowed her heavily pregnant sister to go through.And now she stands next to me in the flesh. That too with my brother, who wanted me dead.“Hello brother-in-law. I never thought I would see you anytime soon. And I heard you have a daughter. My sister always wanted one. Congratulations,” she said, smiling at me and finally resting her head on Frazer’s shoulders.But I was elsewhere. Because this is just not happening to me right now. It doesn’t make sense and I don’t think it will ever make sense. She is supposed to be dead.“I

“Wait, back up a little bit,” she sat up straight as I explained to her what happened after she left me in fea. And the whole time I was telling her everything she was stunned.At some level, she wanted to cry with joy, because the sister she thought was dead was now alive. But again her joy was short-lived when she remembered that her sister was on Frazer’s side. The man that wanted to kill my baby. To kill our baby.“So, is she okay with all this? Maybe he did something to her,” she asked with Hope in her eyes that her sister had been manipulated. Because during the last days before we thought Revoc killed her, Maria and she began bonding for the first time.And I saw how happy she was during that time. At least one person in her messed up family began talking to her and understood her.But it was all for show. She didn’t have anywhere to go and if she wasn’t good to Maria then she might have been scared we might have chased her out of the house.“Maria, I saw how she looked and me
FORSAKEN SON-IN-LAW CHAPTER 173
The room was filled with tense people. And I could barely hear Joseph breathing despite sitting next to him now. He needed me and I moved from where I was sitting with Maria and Angel.Roland and Vykalia just kept looking at us and then at each other. I was hoping they had a good explanation. I was hoping what they did was for the betterment of both Joseph and the boy, and not me.Because one way or the other, that will keep me from Joseph. He might not want to admit it, but if Roland and Vykalia took his son because they wanted to keep me safe, or anything to do with me in any way, then it was equally bad for me as it would be for them.“Roland, this is where you spill the beans about his son’s whereabouts. Why did you take the boy there in the first place? You knew he would be more than capable of taking care of that child, then why take him from him? You saved the boy from his mother and that is good, but taking him from his father was a bad move, Roland,” I said as I rubbed my han
FORSAKEN SON-IN-LAW CHAPTER 174
For the past hour, I sat on the balcony trying to overcome what I was thinking. And I think Maria also knew that this was not going well for me because she didn’t come to talk to me or even call me. She understood what I was going through as always, and I loved her for that.I don’t know why this was so hard on me. I don’t know why him leaving was affecting me so much. Maybe my heart needed him more than I thought. I didn’t like what he did. I hated the fact that he and the whole team kept things from me. But I never thought of chasing him out of the house. That thought has never crossed my mind. And now I have no idea where they were and what they were doing. And I know my decision might have really sucked for him. Because he considered me as a son and because of my friend. But again, it was something I needed to do. Not only for him, but for his son.What Roland and Vykalia did wasn’t good at all. This time, I think they went too far. You can’t keep a son from his father. That is ju
