The Chilled Revenge Of A Son-in-law

The Ten Million Offer.

Ryu left the house and roamed around town, he made multiple phone calls and asked around for part-time jobs he could do to get paid quickly but nothing worked.

Evening soon approached and Ryu's efforts to somehow raise money proved futile, he couldn't even get a single penny.

Raising money had always been difficult for him his whole life however, he never complained about it and thought it was normal but today, not being able to get money made him anxious and angry at himself for being such an incapable loser. Especially since his mother's life was at stake.

The thought of losing his mother because of his incapability scared him, it angered him the most and the urge to beat himself was strong. However, he knew doing that wouldn't make money magically fall from the sky.

It was evening and Ryu was a whole mess, apart from the fact that he was hungry which he didn't really care about, he looked worn out, his head was messed up and he was tired.

By evening, before heading home, Ryu decided to visit his mother at the hospital, he stayed there with her for almost an hour before heading home. But Ryu wouldn't expect what awaits him at home.

He stood outside the gate and tried opening it to step in but soon realized it was locked and he wasn't with the keys. A tired sigh escaped his mouth as he slowly fished out his phone to give Belle a call so she could come open the gate for him.

He was so tired that he could feel his legs shaking from all the stress and drama he went through that day.

Belle finally picked up the call after three tries, "Hey, I'm outside and the gate has been locked," he said to Belle through the phone. He honestly didn't understand why the gate was closed especially by this time when it was still early and they very much knew he had no key for the gate.

"What gate are you talking about?" Belle asked with a soft chuckle, feigning ignorance.

Hearing her words, Ryu exhaled loudly as she was beginning to get on his nerves already, "You know what I'm talking about, come open the gate for me, quit playing around," he said.

"Playing around? I'm sorry but you are no longer allowed in this house again. My father and mother made that decision and I completely support them on it," Replied Belle.

This information was like a resounding slap to his face, he felt humiliated and most of all, he felt used. They had stolen his money to pay off their debts and still had the balls to keep mistreating him.

"Don't you all have no shame?" Ryu said through gritted teeth.

"What?" Belle laughed, "Actually, it's you who has no shame. Don't even think about calling me or showing yourself to my face, you dirty rat," she cursed and ended the call right after, not giving Ryu a chance to reply.

BEEP!

The call was ended, this left Ryu so agitated that he fought the urge to smash his phone on something to vent his anger, but he dared not and instead tried to control his rage by breathing loudly with clenched jaws.

Belle and her family were demons, how could they be so wicked? Now what? Ryu was now homeless, moneyless, and hopeless.

The thought of it made him recall Richard's offer. Ryu was beginning to wonder if being married to Belle was even worth it, as long as they were in his life, they would continue to cause him nothing but pain and if he was done with it, he wouldn't be able to take any more of their disgusting behavior.

With these final thoughts, Ryu soon came to a conclusion to go ahead with Richard's offer. Divorce Belle and in return, he would get a huge sum of money that would be just enough to save his mother's life, that was fair. What man needs a woman like Belle when they could get something better?

The evening was getting cold and windy and Ryu was not only tired, he was getting shivery as well but he ignored all of that and quickly unlocked his phone to search for Richard's phone number.

Since they were friends, well, ex-friends, Ryu still had his phone number saved in his phone. He quickly dialed it and the call went through almost immediately.

"Yeah!! I knew you wouldn't let go of this offer of mine, just as you shouldn't. Changed your mind already?" Richard's voice from the phone immediately reached Ryu's ears.

The sound of his smug voice was already angering Ryu but he had to let go of his emotions and get things done with.

"I'll take it, I'll go on with the divorce tomorrow, I need ten million," Ryu whispered into the phone to hear Richard's response.

"Whoa whoa, that's hard man, ten million?" Richard exclaimed, taken by surprise. He never imagined Ryu would want so much money in return. He thought Ryu would be foolish enough to agree for just a million, it seems Richard had underestimated Ryu.

"Ten million and that's it, if you're not interested then forget about the offer," Ryu replied. He had been friends with Richard for a while and understood how he thinks, Richard really thought Ryu was an idiot.

"Fine then, just go ahead with the divorce and once everything is done, give me a call," Richard ordered and the call ended.

Ryu stood still, only staring at his phone as he thought deeply about the decision he was about to make. Sacrificing a useless marriage to save his mother's life didn't sound like a bad idea.

His decision was final and Ryu made it known to himself that he wouldn't rethink or try to reconsider this decision.

He looked away from his phone and stared at the dark closed gate, letting a low sigh out, he finally left the place, he was going to find a place to lay his head for the night.
