Son In-law Revenge

The Sweet Truth

"I'm sorry, who are you?" Jake stuttered as he spoke.

"Don't be afraid Mr. Jake. My name is Sebastian Stanley and I'm a lawyer. In fact, I am your family's lawyer."

"My family?"

"Yes."

"See now I know that you playing with me because my family doesn't want me, they threw me away when I was little...."

"After the death of your aunt. Yes I know all that." He still had that smile on his face and this unnerved Jake the more.

"Did Marion set you up to this?" That guy had it out for him and Jake was still struggling to understand why.

"No, but it is because of his video that I've been able to locate you. Can we go somewhere private to talk?"

"Even if I wanted to man, I can't. I'm in jail for selling drugs."

"Not anymore. I sorted out your bail. You are free to go." Just the a police man came to him and removed the handcuffs from his hand.

"See? You're free to go. Now can we go somewhere quite." Jake didn't know who the strange man was but he had a feeling that he was going to love him. 

"Lead the way." Jake followed the man as they left the station. He saw a black spider being parked in front of the station. He was more than happy when he heard the car beep and the lawyer opened the driver's seat.

"Sweet." 

"What? Are you gonna stand there all day? Get in." Sebastian yelled at him and Jake was more than happy to comply. They drove to a restaurant that Jake could only admire from a distance and the man ordered breakfast for Jake.

"Okay, mind telling me what's going on?" 

"You don't want to eat first?" Jake looked from his plate and decided that it was best if he ate before hearing the news the man had to tell him.

He savored every bite of his meal thinking about the last time he had eaten something so delicious and finally finding the answer to be 'never'.

"Okay, I'm done. Now talk to me."

"Jake... Mind if I call you Jake?" Jake nodded his head and the man continued. "Okay, so as you know too well your aunt was a wealthy woman in her time and when she died she willed everything she had to you. You are the one in charge of all the companies and all the houses and cars. Somehow your family found out about it and that is why they threw you out. They were hoping that you would stay missing till after you had turned 31 because that is when everything will get revoked back to them, that is if and only if you did not already claim possession of it. After they run you out of the state, they declared you dead but I knew they were lying and I told them that I couldn't release the property to them. It gave me some time to look for you and now, I have finally found you."

Jake was suddenly thankful that he had chosen to eat before having such idiotic conversation with this man. Did he have any idea who he was?

He was a broke and heartbroken man who worked at a stupid fashion company that created terrible designs to make ends meet.

He was a man who had nothing but a shit hole apartment that he was going to get thrown out of in the next two weeks because he can't afford rent.

He was a man who his boss told him to his face that he would never amount to anything good.

And now this man was sitting across from him feeding him lies about being a billionaire. He briskly stood up to leave.

"Where are you going?" Sebastian asked sharply.

"Don't you people ever get tired of toying with people's emotions?"

"Okay, I can see that you don't believe me. Well maybe you will believe this." He tossed a document to Jake and when Jake opened it, it was his late aunt's will. He cried as he read the words. He cried as he realized the massive love his aunt had for him.

"I wasn't lying Mr. Jake. You are truly a billionaire now. And we need you on the company's ground. I'm overseeing the activities of the company for now but with you around, I can back down and let you do the job you've been called to do."

"But why would my family be so heartless as to keep me away from all these?"

"Greed, Jake. Greed."

"I need some time to think about what I want to do with this information."

Sebastian breathed out a heavy sigh. "I completely understand Jake." He passed a card to him. "This is my number. Call me if you need anything."

Jake stood up to leave but Sebastian didn't let him. "Hold up, let me sort the bill and then I can take you home."

"No you don't need to do all that."

"But I want to. It'll just be a minute." Jake nodded his head as he watched the man leave and he used the spare time to spread his eyes round his environment. His eyes fixed on a couple who had probably started the relationship newly. He saw how much the woman admired the man and how much the man adored the woman. He knew he wanted something like that for himself and now he could. He had enough money to go after Susan and get her back. He was about to call her when he saw the woman lean in and place a kiss on the man's lips and they both blushed.

Susan had never blushed, not after their first kiss, not after their first sex. The only time she smiled was after Jake had gotten her a gift. It was like she was tired of the relationship but didn't know how to tell him. Well he had finally heard, loud and clear. 

He took out his phone and deleted her contact. Just then, Sebastian walked in.

"Okay, all done. May we go now?"

"Of course." Jake stood up to leave and they both entered into Sebastian car. When he parked at the front of his apartment, Jake finally spoke.

"I don't want anyone to know about this. I don't want them to know about this new found wealth of mine. Is there a way we could keep it quite for a few more months? I just want to discover the people that truly love me for me and not for the money."

"I understand you Jake, but who will take care of the company? I can't do it anymore."

"Well, you are running it now right? I believe you can find someone who will be running it for the meantime, at least till I am ready to assume the position of CEO."

"I believe I can do that."

"Okay, once you find the right guy that you trust, you let me know. Goodbye for now Sebastian."

"Have a lovely day Jake."

Jake was sure that he would have the most perfect day, after all, he was now a billionaire.
