The Son-in-law's Revenge

Chapter 5

Ethan followed her meekly, like a dog with its tail between its legs. He wondered what kind of punishment she had in mind for him.

The shiver that ran through him totally had nothing to do with the cold.

When they entered the apartment, Ethan stood at the entrance, watching his wife warily and waiting for her outburst.

"Should I run a warm bath for you?" He offered.

"No." Isabel snapped back, "I don't need your help."

"Weren't you supposed to be at work?" Ethan pressed, shifting on foot to another.

"I took a break from work to assist you with Grandma Logan. I bet you weren't expecting me to catch you with your girlfriend. "

"She is not my girlfriend ." Ethan mumbled, walking fully into the house when it seems like Isabel's outburst wasn't coming.

"Your girl toy then."

"No.... She is not anything to me." Ethan clarified.

"I'm surprised anyone wants to get acquainted with your sorry self."

"I'll avoid her."

"What did I tell you before about her?" Isabel swirled around to face her husband, her blue eyes burning into his soul. "You know me Ethan, yet you went ahead and defied me."

"I'm.." Ethan made to apologize.

Isabel raised her hand up to stop him, "Don't bother. I don't need your apology. "

With that, she disappeared into her room.

Ethan was tempted to go after her, just to know what was going through her mind, instead, he went to his own room and threw himself under a hot shower. He didn't even get the opportunity to confront her about the lout that visited earlier.

The night passed by in a blur and the morning came quickly. When Ethan woke up, Isabel had already left the house. She dropped a small note on his door.

It read, "Continue defying me till you see my wrath."

Ethan groaned and squeezed the note. No grown up man would want their life like this, being bossed around by their wives when they should be the head of the family.

The doorbell rang.

Ethan quickly changed out of his night wears, so as not to embarrass Isabel further, especially if it was his mother in-law at the door.

The doorbell rang continually.

When Ethan was satisfied that he looked presentable, he opened the door without peeping through the peephole, because only his mother in-law was crazy enough to knock at their door this early.

Now someone else has joined her on the list.

Ethan glared at Drogo, staring him down, "What lie has Isabel ordered you to spew again?"

Drogo frowned at his young master, "I don't really know who Isabel is, I am solely here on my accord to prove to you that you are Eth-"

"I searched online yesterday. " Ethan admitted with a huff.

"You saw that I was right?" Drogo asked, his voice laced with hope.

"Of course not! The search bar brought out 'no result found."

"That's impossible. What search bar did you use?"

"Doodle." Ethan replied, crossing his arms.

"How about I show you who you are master. I just confirmed you lost your memory, and it's taking too long for you to remember."

Ethan squinted his eyes at his intruder, "Why should I trust you?"

"Because I have answers." Drogo replied haughtily.

Ethan did a quick survey of his surroundings. Everywhere was silent. Nobody would see him, and maybe he might make it in time before Isabel comes back.

Ethan came out fully and locked the door, "Where are we going?"

"To where it all began." Drogo led Ethan an expensive SUV jeep.

Ethan gasped out involuntarily as he stared at the car hungrily.

Drogo chuckled in response, "You've always loved cars, boss. This is just one of your many cars."

Ethan swallowed and entered the car.

"Welcome back master." An automated voice addressed him, "Where would you like to go?"

Drogo enters the driver's seat and drove off.

Ethan scanned his surroundings through the tinted windows as they came to a stop. They were in a place that suspiciously looked like a hangar.

Drogo alighted the car and opened the door for Ethan.

Ethan walker forward, appreciating his surroundings, "Why are we here?"

"We are going back to Ohio. " Drogo revealed and led Ethan to a private jet.

The plane read Belinsky air.

Ethan raises an eyebrow at Drogo questioningly but entered the plane.

Once they've settled in and the took off, Drogo further revealed, "This was the jet that brought you to Idaho."

"Hmmm.." Ethan murmured.

"I know you don't believe, but see that safe there?" Drogo nodded to the third aisle on the plane.

"Yeah, I can see it."

"Only my young master fingerprint can open it. Go on, give it a try. "

Ethan stared at the safe doubtfully, but goes towards it and tries his fingerprint.

The safe opened instantly.

Ethan glanced back at Drogo in shock,

Drogo mouthed back, "I told you so."

Ethan returns his gaze to the safe, staring at the contents in awe. It was filled with money.

He closer the safe and went back to his seat.

"So tell me about Belinsky." Ethan attempts at a conversation, "Why didn't information come out when I searched?"

"Asides the fact that you and your family enjoy privacy, Doodle hates your family and doesn't have any information on your family. "

"What about my parents?"

"I'm taking you to them." Drogo leaned back against his chair, taking in Ethan's features. His boss looked too lean and barely had muscles. He looked like the nightmarish version of himself.

He also hated the way his boss looked lost and disoriented. He is the first Belinsky in history to look like a wimp.

"What's Belinsky business about?"

Drogo noted the way his boss asked. Instead of saying my family's business. Very soon, he'll help his master remember everything.

"Just here and there. Belinsky makes it's money from various enterprises, not to talk of investments." Drogo said with pride.

"How rich is the family?"

"The richest family in the country." Drogo shrugged like it was nothing.

"Ri..... richest?" Ethsn stuttered.

"Yes, richest."

Ethan blanched. The Logan family were the fifth richest family in the country. Now, his supposed family has even more money?

Ethan eyed the man in front of him, "Why did you just claim the money?"

The man seemed genuinely hurt at the question, he sat up and stared at Ethan dead in the eye, "because young master, Family and loyalty comes first."

Ethan pursed his lips and glanced outside the windows, a bit eager and excited to meet his parents. They will have answers.
