Revenge of the son-in-law

The sun was beautifully setting across the horizon. It was summer time. A young man walked across the beautiful shores of the city. The roar of waves echoing the the background. It created a majestic scenery as the rays of the sun cut across the sky. In contrast to the beautiful scenery and atmosphere, he looked lost in thought. He sat on a bench and gaze at the sea, his gaze deep like an abyss. It was filled with emotion. This caused a lot of people to distance themselves from him. A scene was playing in his head. It has been on looped since it happened today. ….. “Babe, please be gentle. You hurt me the last time, I’m still recovering.” Inside the hallway of one of the prestigious hotels in the city, a familiar voice sounded in the ears of the young man as he stood before the door. He knew this voice like the back of his palm, the voice belonged to his wife! Taking a a deep breath, the young man calmed down. He has always been in control of his emotions. Anger and rage were burning deep in his heart but after taking deep breaths, he stabilized himself. Knock, Knock…. He gently knocked on the door. “Hold on babe, there’s someone at the door” his wife, Selina Takyi, sounded again as footsteps could be heard heading towards the door. Crank! A beautiful woman with towel wrapped around her waist opened the door. “You!” She yelled in fright as she did not expect the young man to see her like this. She run inside making the man com out to see what happened. “Sir, your package.” The young man stated calmly as he handed the package to the half-dressed gentleman before him. “Oh. Thank you.” The gentleman responded, paid him and closed the door. Inside the room, the gentle man asked, “Babe, what’s the matter? Why did you scream?” Composing herself, Selina replied, “He is my husband. Young master Zenith, I… I … have to leave.” “No, you are not going anywhere. Since you decided to come here, it means you are now mine” Young master Zenith stated as he locked the door. Hearing all this, sighed heavily, the young man walked out of the hotel. As the young man arrived before then main entrance, he stumbled upon his mother-in-law, Georgina Takyi,who was just got out of her Mercedes Benz. Noticing the young man in front of the hotel, Georgina got hold of the story. “Mother…” the young man greeted in a grievance. Waving her hands in vexation, she uttered, “Now that you know about it, then you know what should do! To tell you the truth, all of us agreed to kick you out of the family!” Hearing that only deepened the anger in his heart but he kept a calm appearance. “Did grandpa agree to it too?” He asked. Georgina Takyi retorted, “ His opinion is irrelevant! Do you who this man is? He is the young master of the Zenith family, Mathew Zenith! To be frank, the Zenith family has signed deals with our Takyi family. If we can ride on the waves of the Zenith family, we’ll be elevated from our nouveau riche status and soon join third-rate family status. Heck we might even join the elites of the city.” “This involves the development of our family business on a macro level. What makes you think that an old geezer like him could have a say in this?” Georgina Takyi said. Speaking of the old man, he was the only man that was kind to him in the three years of marriage to the Takyi family. He was very grateful towards the old man as he helped him in his time of need. Three years ago, he was the president of Angel Corp, a big enterprise in the whole Platinum region of Mali Empire. It was back by the the Musa Family, his maternal family. He was hailed as a genius of the younger generation. But all good things have an end. Soon after his mother died, the family became a battlefield for him, Kelvin Johnson. He worked hard to prove that he was worthy of the being in the family, since he did not have the Musa surname and no one knew his father, he was being criticized always. The family wanted to take away his inheritance. Finally three years ago, he used 20 million dollars to invest in several companies. During that time, tens of members of the Musa family scolded Kelvin. Some called him mad; some even accused him of harboring bad intentions, wanting to siphon the family fortune for himself and the 20 million Angel Corp was just the start. Ultimately the family head, his uncle, agreed with the others to disown him from the family, and his name erased from the family records! He soon learnt of the harsh reality of this world, the volatility of relationships. Old and dear friends found ways to avoid him, some even told him the truth of him no longer being useful to them. He wandered about before meeting Old man Takyi, an old subordinate of the Musa family, he took him in and arranged a marriage between Kelvin and his eldest grand daughter, Selina. This marriage contract was to last for three years. No one knew of this matter except Old man Takyi and him. Georgina’s words snapped him from his thoughts. Unaware of this, Georgina continued: “You should learn a thing or two from young master Zenith! His family amassed a fortune of nearly 100 million. As the eldest young master, he is in control of most of the family business and is signing deals with powerful families in the region: Miller family, Anchor family and many others. Can you comprehend what that means? Do you know how powerful those families are?” Kelvin had a bitter smile on his face. Indeed, they could change a family’s fate. It was true every where, it was indeed human nature to fear the strong and bully the weak.
