Revenge Of The Rejected Son-in-law

3. The Evil Mistress

Chapter Three

“I can’t let my mother die of cancer, I have to do whatever it takes to save her ! I can’t allow my mother to die, she is the only one I have in this world” the young man called Elijah cried with tears and mucus running down his face as he ran towards his father’s office to beg for money so that he could take his mother to the hospital.

Elijah always sits beside his mother and takes care of her since she feels sick. She has been painfully sick for the last 2 months but no one cared about her , Elijah was the only person doing a lot of hard labour and side jobs to get enough money to buy medications for his mother but he didn’t get enough money because taking care of his mother didn’t allow him to work longer hours and not a single soul helped him.

Elijah even sold all his mother’s expensive jewellery, shoes and bags but the money wasn’t enough to treat her diabetes which results in cancer because of lack of proper care and professional treatment from the doctors.

Elijah’s mother is the legal and first wife in the wealthy and powerful family called the “WILLIAMS FAMILY '' before the mistress , who is Henry’s mother came into the picture and destroyed the peace of the family with her wicked character but Elijah’s father still worshiped her because he was blinded by his lustful feelings for her.

Infact Henry ‘s mother was so evil and manipulative that she planted a rumour in the family that says Elijah is a bastard child and doesn't belong to the family , the whole family believed her without running a DNA test and this made Elijah’s life to become a living hell.

The WILLIIAMS family has generational wealth because of their successful company which deals with selling and renting of houses and apartments but their major line of work is real estate and commercial estate management.

Even though the family is stinking rich , Elijah and his mother suffered. They are always treated as outcasts , he was insulted with names like bastard while his mother was called a whore. Even though the family had money, no one cared to take Elijah’s mother to the hospital.

No matter how he kept begging them till her condition got worse and he had no choice but to run back to his stingy father who hates him passionately to ask for money again with the hopes that he will give him.

Elijah had begged him for more than 20 times and his father refused to help and didn’t even care to go and see how badly Elijah’s mother was suffering.

Elijah’s heart was pounding in his chest, and he felt a knot form in his stomach as he knocked on the door of his father’s office. The door creaked open, and he was met with the sight of his father, older and frailer than he remembered.

His father’s head was bent over a briefcase filled with thousands of dollars while his secretary was busy counting the money.

"Dad, it's me, your son," he said, tears welling up in his eyes. "I need your help, mother is dying and she needs to see a doctor as soon as possible"

His father looked at him quizzically before he spoke "That’s her problem , she is not the gist of people to fall sick in this world . I’m pretty sure you both are pretending so that you can get money from me but it won’t happen, I am smarter than the both of you“ the father said with a dismissive tone

"But it’s my mother," Elijah said, his voice shaking. "She's sick, really sick. I think she needs to go to the hospital, we are not lying and I even have a picture of how badly she is , she is vomiting blood and you can come see her to confirm for yourself " Elijah said while showing his father rge picture on his phone but the father used his hands to collects and smash the phone on the wall till it broke into pieces.

“You and your mother are a shame to this family , it will be better if the both of you die!” Elijah’s father said and the words broke his heart, he couldn’t beg anymore after hearing those heart shattering words and to make matters worse his father broke his phone without any reason.

“I hate you and you will pay for this , this is a vow I’m making” Elijah said with so much determination before running out of the room and banging the door loudly on his way out. He has never seen a cruel person like his biological father who called him a liar and wished him death.

Elijah ran back to the staff quarters where he and his mother shared a single tiny room, he met his mother vomiting blood again. He quickly cleaned her up and gave her a dose of insulin before running towards his farther ‘s office, who is his last hope. He decided to try and beg his father, hoping that he will listen to him this time around .

“My mother is dying ! Someone should help us ,Please uncle help me ! She’s dying and we need to get her to the hospital right now “

Elijah shouted to his father with tears streaming down his face after he opened the heavy mahogany doors of his fathers grand office.

His father is already in the middle of a meeting with investors when Elijah barged in with ears in his eyes.

The investors started whispering among themselves when they saw Elijah , his father noticed it so he took an excuse and told Elijah to follow him to his inner chamber.

“Sit down and you have 2 minutes to explain the reason why you interrupted my meeting” said his father with a bored tone while checking his customized limited edition Rolex wristwatch.

Elijah sat down on the couch, his heart still racing. He told his father over and over about how his mother had been feeling ill for days, how she had diabetes and was coughing up blood. He explained that he had taken her to a walk-in clinic, but they had told him she needed to go to the hospital. The problem was that Elijah didn't even have a car, and he couldn't afford an ambulance.

"I don't know what to do father ," he said, tears streaming down his face. "Please, can you take her to the hospital? I don't want to lose her."

His father looked at him for a long moment before nodding. ”I will do that but after my meeting, so stop crying and don’t disturb me again” he said but Elijah went on his knees and started begging his uncle again

“This is an emergency, she looks really terrible and she will die if you don’t help her now “

Elijah pleaded earnestly knowing that his uncle is his last hope , he didn't think anyone would help them if his grandfather decided to say no so he crossed his heart and silently prayed that his father will have mercy on him and agree to help save the life of his dying mother.

“Leave my legs alone and stop kneeling down like some unfortunate beggar. Here is 100 dollars , I will handle the rest when I have time, you and your mother are not important like my business meetings. You both are a disgrace and the biggest mistake of the William’s family “ His father said before he dragged his legs away from Elijah roughly ,he even stepped on Elijah’s fingers with his expensive and branded covered shoes.

His father brought out only 100 dollars from the wads of cash he had in his drawer and he threw it at Elijah as if he was a beggar .

Elijah didn’t have a choice . He bent down and picked the money which he used to call a taxi , Elijah single-handedly carried his mother who was heavy before taking her out of the large mansion before they could enter thee taxi, the house staff and maids saw Elijah but none of them gave him a helping hand instead they were all laughing and pointing hands at him and his dying mother.

Elijah met his uncle , Miachel , driving into the mansion with a woman that was dressed in revealing clothes , she had so much makeup on her face and it was obvious that she was just a plaything for his uncle who is a womanizer.

Elijah still made his uncle stop the car so that he would beg him for assistance but the uncle refused because he rather fuck around around with women than save Elijah’s mother.

Elijah cried all the way to the hospital, he knew that his family hates him and his mother because they were regarded as a shame and mistake but he never knew that they could be this wicked.

The taxi soon arrived at the nearest hospital where his mother was rushed into the emergency room by the doctors and nurses. Elijah kept pacing up and down while waiting for the doctors to give him feedback, the surgery took so long that Elijah sat down on the dirty floor waiting for his mother till he dozed off and fell asleep on a hungry stomach.

*Ding dong*

The soft sound indicates that the doctors where some and Elijah’s ears were so sensitive and he immediately woke up when he heard the voice of the doctors and nurses coming out, it was already late but this time around.

“Doctor ! Doctor , how is my mother doing ? What is going on !” Elijah asked the elderly and senior looking doctor who hd white hair and was wearing dark blue scrubs and white crocs.
