The Unstoppable Son In Law

Chapter 2: Stabbed

The TV that was placed right under the ceiling was and music was also playing while a bunch of men kept drinking.

Alex was just sitting and eating a plate of apple pie to remember his mother, who made him apple pie when he was a little boy.

Right beside him, was a young man crying and drinking a strong vodka. "I can't believe my girlfriend would leave me... What on earth did I do??? And why would she chose my brother over me.".

Alex almost spit out his apple pie as he heard what the drunken young man said and forced himself to control himself.

The drunken teen looked at Arthur with his face getting visibly red, "You think this is funny? Have you experienced what I experienced?" As he looked at Alex's clothes his mood didn't get better, "Ah, so you're rich. Rich people like you will never understand what I go through. You guys get whatever you want."

Alex stood up and shook his head before leaving the bar, realizing that it wasn't the place for him. He had to go back home and get his daughters out, and it was certainly not a time for self pity.

As he exited out of the bar he could see two men waiting beside his car as the word of his now ex wife rang in his ear, "If you die, the shares will be given to me.".

'She definitely send those men to get rid of me! I've got to get away now!' He said before reentering the bar.

He then walked into the kitchen as the chefs shouted at him to get out but he continued pushing forward through the wet floors until he reach the door which was another exit out of the bar.

As he got out of the building again he looked around and sighed in relief as he saw that the men that he saw wasn't here and quietly walked to the roadside and pulled out his phone.

He quickly opened a cab application and tried ordering a cab immediately but as he tried to pay for it his payment option had been declined. "This isn't supposed to be happening..." He said as he opened his bank application to see how much money he has left.

As he looked at his bank account information it showed only one digit, $0. His hands shook as he took a step back, "This is... impossible. Even for the McDaniels, this should be impossible, how did they manage to take out my money without my permission!"

His 50 thousand dollars was now gone. But what was worse was that he could hear sound behind him, as he turned to see what was making the sound, he could see the two men that was standing beside his car walking towards him.

Alex subconsciously ran and fell down by twisting his legs, but got to his feet and ran as fast as he could, only to reach the nearest gas station that he could see.

But as he turned to his back, he could see the men still following him with no problem.

"I can't outrun this men..." He mumbled as he took out a pen from pocket.

As the men looked at Alex's pathetic attempt at self defense they took out their military grade pocket knife, and as Arthur saw that he dropped his pen. 'This guys, they are for real!'

One of them ran up to him and stabbed him from below only for the knife to be blocked by Alex's hands. "Ah!" Arthur screamed as he felt the sharp pain in his bones.

As he looked at the blood on his hands he felt dizzy. He raised his hands and covered his torso using the only fighting technique that he had learned.

The man holding the knife looked at his accomplice and smiled, "It seems that he has learned a bit of boxing."

"Don't waste your time, stab him and throw him by the river. That's how they want him dead, drowning in the river with blood flowing from his stomach." The man in the back said with unchanging face.

A look of hopelessness dawned upon Arthur, "There really is no escape..." He whispered to himself before he took out his wallet where he kept a picture of his two daughters. "Kugh! You girls won't be seeing daddy today..." He said before tears started dropping on the picture.

"Enough!" The man with the knife said as he stabbed Alex in the stomach.

All the strength that was in Arthur's body suddenly left with that stab, and he immediately fell to the ground, almost screaming before the man at the back closed his mouth with cloth.

The both of them carried Alex and walked to the bridge where a river could be seen.

With all the strength he has he kept his eyes opened as he saw that they were about to throw him into the river he tried moving and screaming, but they didn't listen nor did they care and threw him into the river.

As his body fell, the cloth that covered his mouth came out and allowed him to talk, but before he could make any noise his body entered the river causing whatever he tried to say to be nothing more than mumbles.

The only creatures hearing his cries for help, were fishes and algaes.

The river continued pushing his body away, from area after area hitting his body against boulder that was in the water.

No matter how much he tried, the strength that was in his body was no enough to fight against the stream of the river.

And the onmy thing he could do was catch his breath once in a while while blood continued puring from his hands and stomach.

His vision continued getting weaker and Alex started bursting our in tears. "Why is my life so painful?? And why is it the same for my death!" But then he felt his back laying on a hard surface.

As he slowly got up with the pain in his stomach, he realized that he wasn't in the river anymore but on the river shore.

There was no energy in his body and he felt hungry from the blood lost. "I'm gonna die..."He whispered with the strength that he have left and took out his phone.

He was going to call his daughter, but before he could a notification popped up, "You have completed a mission! Please click here to receive your gift!".
