The Chilled Revenge Of A Son-in-law

DNA Test.

Mr. John quickly drove the car to the same hospital where Ryu's mother had been undergoing treatments for a quick check-up. Following the Chairman's orders, he took Ryu to a VIP ward where a doctor made a quick check on him.

That was when they discovered Ryu had ingested a rare kind of poison, this information was quick to place Mr. John in a panic mode. Fearing for the life of the Chairman's son, he instructed the Doctor to immediately start giving Ryu treatment as he knew how deadly poisons can be.

It usually depended on the kind of poison he took, some could kill their victims as fast as one could blink and some usually would take time before slowly killing their victims and there was no telling what kind of poison was inside of Ryu.

While Ryu was undergoing gastric lavage treatment to get rid of the poison in his stomach before it took effect as according to the doctor, it was a slow-acting poison which would firstly render its victim unconscious before slowly killing them, Mr. John made a quick call with the Chairman to inform him of the current situation and of course, the Chairman was angered.

...

It took Ryu three days to recover from his treatment as he had been unconscious even after a successful surgery, he woke to a banging headache. A soft groan escaped his mouth as he struggled to open his eyes, for the first few seconds, his mind was blank as he couldn't think clearly.

Staring hazily around with a soft frown marred on his face as he tried to know where he was and just in time, the room door was pushed open to have two men step in. Ryu turned to face them, not recognizing who they were at first.

His frown deepened as a certain memory came flooding his mind, enabling him to recall where he had seen these men, it was at that strange mansion from before. Who were they and what do they want? It was questions like this that filled Ryu's hazy mind but most importantly, "Where am I?" He murmured, looking around the place once more but with a clearer mind.

"At the hospital still recovering," Chairman Langley informed him, looking down at his son who looked nothing like him as the young man took his mother's face, he was basically his mother's twin.

This new information had Ryu even more confused, why was he at the hospital?

Noticing his confusion, Chairman Langley proceeded to tell Ryu all that had happened three days ago that brought him to this state.

Ryu listened and began to immediately recall all of it. Richard had really tried to poison him, the thought of it made him hurt at first but it switched to anger real quick. To think he once saw that demon as a friend and an older brother, all of this because he wanted Belle to himself.

"That bitch," Ryu murmured under his breath as he cursed at Belle, his eyes glaring daggers at the floor while he tried to contain his anger.

"And Mum? What about my Mum?" He asked, raising his gaze from the floor and stared up at the men, feeling anxious.

"Calm down, she has been buried somewhere to rest and you will be visiting her after you've recovered properly," Mr. John informed, speaking up for the first time since he stepped into the room.

However, Ryu was too impatient and couldn't wait any longer, he missed his mother already and needed to pay his last respects to her as soon as possible, "No, I can't wait," He said, trying to get rid of the drip attached to his wrist but was stopped immediately by Mr. John.

"You need to calm down, your health is what's more important and you know your mother would only want for you to stay strong and healthy, please stay calm," Mr. John said, holding Ryu in place as he tried to calm him down with words which worked.

Chairman Langley who had been standing quietly watching Ryu said, breaking the brief silence, "I have something important to show to you and I thought now was the best time to do so," He said, signaling Mr. John who immediately brought out a piece of paper from the briefcase in his hand, he handed the paper over to the Chairman who in turn handed it over to the oblivious Ryu.

"That there is the DNA test that proves that I am your father and you are my son," Chairman Langley deadpanned and a pin-drop silence followed.

No words were spoken as Ryu skimmed through the paper with his eyes, confirming what his so-called father had just said. Not knowing what to say and how to react, Ryu remained silent.

He had grown up with just him and his mother without knowing who his father was or where his father was and why his father wasn't present in their lives and his mother never told him till he grew up and eventually stopped asking.

Right now, he had only one question in mind, looking up at the Chairman, Ryu proceeded to ask, "So? What now? And where have you been all these while? Why suddenly show up now?" He demanded, not knowing how to feel about this information.

"Two years after you were born, your Mum took you away from me, she suddenly disappeared with no explanation, I tried to find her but never succeeded until now. The reason for your mother's hatred towards me was what I never understood and I want to fix that. It may seem too late already but it's not for the both of us, we can fix this and right all the wrongs, and that's all up to you if you agree to be part of my life once again." The Chairman said and Mr. John stood by the side, watching as his Chairman continued to feed lies to his son with the hopes of getting him to be on his side.

...

Two days rolled by and Ryu could finally now visit his mother's grave. She was buried in a private cemetery and it was all thanks to Chairman Langley.

Ryu knelt before his mother's grave as so many questions filled him, he had a lot he wanted to know from her about his father. Why did she take his father away from him for all these years and never give a proper explanation?

He was curious and confused.

His thoughts were interrupted when he felt a hand on his shoulder, it was the Chairman who had been standing behind him.

"Now," He heard the Chairman's voice from behind, "With my wealth and power which will be all yours, you can get revenge for your mother against those who have wronged you and caused her death. You are my son and I'll make sure you get everything and anything you'll ever need," He said, his words bringing back all of Ryu's pained past and this only made him angry and thirsty for nothing but revenge.

To hurt back those who have hurt him. Doing them ten times harder than what they had done to him.

But was Ryu supposed to trust the father he had just met?
