Chapter 29: More Cracks
Tessa
It was not until eight in the evening that the black SUV Blake was using glided in the compound. Watching from my bedroom window I kept tabs on him as he drove to the parking lot and then alighted carrying something like a notebook. He then walked to the Butlers quarters. Perfect time to confront him and remind him who was in charge. Since that promotion he had somehow lost a grip on reality."Is everything okay?" Dad asked when he spotted me walking downstairs. Perhaps my face was doing little to hide my frustrations and he could read my mood from it.He was seated on the couch with mum watching TV. They were cold, could sense some bad blood between them."Am fine dad""You look so pissed off" pointed out the woman he married.There was still some unresolved issues between us and this time the crack was huge that I didn't even imagine us Seeing Eye to eye again. At least not genuine from either of us."Sit""I have to go dad" I insisted and waRelated chapters
THE DESPISED SON-IN-LAW; Mafia Boss Heir Chapter 30: Surviving on borrowed love
AnitaWhen she hung up I took a deep breath. Honestly my eyes were getting all itchy and I was a poke away from my tear gates breaking. It was hard to tell if she picked the Phone in his absence or if he gave it to her to get rid of me. Unlike the first time we kissed, the second time was off. The feeling for me was spine shattering but to him it looked as though the kiss was just normal with no impact on his emotions. The drama with the call just confirmed my biggest fear.That back there was a kiss of goodbye. There was a chance I had gotten myself hyped up on borrowed love and got myself lost under the impression that maybe he could be mine. My castle of sand built on the ocean shore of love got swept away days after being erected. I felt weak, used and stupid and since I was alone it was okay to cry. Let the tears of sadness and disappointment flow. But no, I couldn't even cry. A rough knock on the door forced me to wipe away my tears and clear my throat. The door opened
THE DESPISED SON-IN-LAW; Mafia Boss Heir Chapter 31: Revelations
In the living room of the Red Crescent Mafia group headquarters, a lady was seated on the couch behind her two armed guards. She looked uneasy as though she wanted to run but she couldn't, it was a death wish and she was not that stupid to try and outrun hundreds of guards spread out there. Her name was Maria and she was the most important woman to Don. He walked downstairs in a silk robe with a glass of whiskey and a cigarette."It's really you" he said his gaze fixed on her."Why am I here Leo?" She asked angrily swinging back on her feet.The Don just smiled and took his time to get to where she was. Checked her out blowing the smoke in her face."You haven't aged that much" he said and signaled the guards to leave, "Anyway, sit please, you're a life saver am sorry about the last time we met things went out of control a little bit " he said and collapsed on his chair."Let's call a spade a spade Leo, why am I still alive?""Like I said you're a life s

BlakeTessa left me seething with rage at the parking lot. She was surely up to something, I didn't know what it was but there was a snowball's chance in hell it was favorable to me. Clearly there was a lot of unresolved tension between us that sooner or later we were going to have to face it head on. As they say, to avoid a storm you either sail through it or around it, but never wait for its arrival. I was going to use that drive to wherever she wanted to go, to fix our problems before they got out of hand."Are you guys fighting again?" Gabriel asked coming from behind, the smoke of a cigarette preceded him. It was his unique signature, every time the stench of a cigar hit my nose I'd know he is around or he was around."That's what couples do, you wouldn't know that because I am sure you've never been in love""Not anymore" he said putting the cigarette off, he went ahead to chew his usual breath mint. So stupid, he was under the impression that the mint would so
THE DESPISED SON-IN-LAW; Mafia Boss Heir Chapter 33: Last Warning
In a small Room, roughly six by four meters in size, potholes on the floor with a leaking roof top, paint was plucking itself from the old walls and it had a single small window that let in a small flicker of light bright enough to light it up. Seated in a corner was Maria, she had her head tucked between her feet and from how she was shaking, her teeth rattling you could tell it was very cold in there.The rusty metallic door swung open and in walked Carlos, wearing a sick smile on his face and at hand he had a plate of food she had rejected earlier and a bottle of water tucked under his armpit. Maria raised her gaze and dropped it."Rise and shine I've got some food and water for you" Carlos said parading them at her feet.He then walked back to the door and locked it to Maria's surprise, there was a lot going through in her head, what was he up to? More fear set in when he started unbuckling his belt."We're going to do this the hard way as a last warning, Boss c
THE DESPISED SON-IN-LAW; Mafia Boss Heir Chapter 34: Root Cause
The meeting between Bailey and Gerald Wallace ended in a no contest. None of them was willing to calm down and listen to the other and this of course could be blamed on a lot of their unresolved issues. The two were in a deadlock situation such that they knew what they were supposed to do but they couldn't because of the blame game.Bailey had both forgotten Gerald's disrespect in giving Blake new roles without involving her in decision making. While Gerald was feeling threatened, his authority was in jeopardy if he had to consult with Bailey to do anything. For long they had lived with each of them knowing their roles, he was the decision maker and she was there to support his decisions not disagree or add anything just support.So where did things go wrong with this arrangement?Well, you remember the incident with Gabriel. The loopholes in the parenting that left them pointing fingers at each other? There are things the two of them both said in anger, things they had
THE DESPISED SON-IN-LAW; Mafia Boss Heir Chapter 35: One last Good Memory
BlakeAfter probably ruining Anita's day, she did not look shocked like I expected, Tessa asked me to take us to town. She had an errand to run and as though things wouldn't get weird enough, she walked into a law firm. When she came out she asked me to pack the car and gave me some money to buy food, the meeting was going to take a long time. So I took a seat at a restaurant opposite the law firm, from there I could see vehicles and people, just drinking my juice and reading the paper, seconds turned into minutes and minutes into hours at around a half past six she emerged with the lawyer by her side. Was my wife really disowning her mother?"I'm sorry that it took so long I am hoping you didn't get bored" she said when I got the door for her. In a black suit, white shirt black tie one wouldn't argue I was her bodyguard."Not really, I had the paper and TV to keep me company. Also lots of mango juice" I said and shut the door then quickly slid into the driver’s seat.
THE DESPISED SON-IN-LAW; Mafia Boss Heir Chapter 36: I need your help
BlakeThe cock crowing, the birds chirping, metal clacking outside, cows mooing from a distance, fresh morning breeze feeling my room and the curtains dancing to the rhythm of the wind. It was quiet an unusual day because for the first time in a long time I woke up with Tessa in my arm. Watched sleep, beautiful as ever, her short breaths and the movement of her thoracic region as she took lungful of air and expelled some. It was a beautiful scenario. And I just sat looked at her as though she was not mine.But was she? Was she really mine when we could t be together in peace without he mother trying to separate us not to mention her father and brother, the past could not be forgotten no matter how hard we try, we pick lessons and pretend to move on but most don't. Despite everything, I still felt like the same pauper Son-in-law who was more of burden and a very quick and seemingly stupid thought crossed my mind.Trust me, stupid because I had lived it before, am talking

A good driver, Bailey couldn't even tell if they hit a pothole on the poorly maintained roads, among a plethora effects of war on people and infrastructure."Am very excited about this" Said Gabriel hoping to spark a conversation with her moody mother."Hmm" Mumbled Bailey her gaze still fixed on the paper. She was giving him all the signs of not wanting to talk but like a relentless kid Gabriel was begging more of his mother's attention.Not just a hunt for attention, Little Gabriel was finally confident enough to involve his mother in a choice of a wife. A maid. Yeah, according to Blake, that was a bad idea. And he knew how much allergic to poverty she was."Mum am t
