MARRYING My FATHER-IN-LAW Spinning
“Mmm, I’m gonna have to break your heart there, lover boy,” I said, giving him a playful smile.“Oh, please don’t do that. What is it?” he asked, his face falling. “Don’t tell me you’re that busy. You just got back to the company today, and you haven’t gotten up to speed. Don’t tell me you’ve already started working.”“Not yet, it’s just that I kind of already had lunch,” I replied.“Oh, you’re coming from lunch?” he asked, his voice teasing.“Yes,” I confirmed.“You’re such a bad girl,” he said with a grin. “Why didn’t you just tell me or ask me to lunch? I would have loved to have lunch with you. I missed you so much and was looking forward to seeing you. And knowing that you were just downstairs was killing me. I was really looking forward to having lunch with you.”“I know,” I said, my voice apologetic. “ And I wanted that too, but I thought you might be busy, and I didn’t want to disturb you.”“But you could have called Jason and asked,” he suggested.“But then Jason is always so

"Nothing," Eric answered, looking too casual. "This is about the Blackwind. My father paid me a visit just now and reminded me that this is about the company and our legacy. Whatever feelings I have towards you, I should put them aside. I'm going to own this company one day After all, so yes, I'm not going to let us lose a big client just because you're... well, a whore."The words hit me like a slap in the face, but I just couldn’t stop the laugh that followed. “Well, that took longer than I thought for you to start throwing names at me," I said, still chuckling. "But it’s the truth now, isn’t it? Why should we hide it?” he sneered. “Just remember that I’m your Sister-in-law.”“Sister-in-law? Oh, come on. The way Rita puts it, she doesn’t have a sister anymore. How you’ve embarrassed her and ruined her entire social life. She’s got a gold digger for a sister now. Some people even think that because the two of you are related, she might be like you.” He paused, a smug look on his f

"I love Emerson. He is in love with me. And we’re going to get married," I said, my voice steady and firm. "Since Emerson already has a son, I no longer have to think about starting a family or building one anymore. Because he already has it. So, I’m already a member of his family, which, in turn, makes me your family." I smirked, watching his expression darken. "You didn’t want to have a family with me, but guess what? I’m still your family. So there you have it. You get to have Rita as your wife, and you get to have me as your… mother.""Don’t you ever call yourself my mother," he snapped, his anger finally bubbling over. The confidence he’d worn earlier started to crack. He knew my buttons, but I knew his too and I wasn't scared to use them.Anger began to seep into his words. Ever since we’d started this discussion, he’d seemed to have the upper hand, hurling jab after jab at me. But now that we were back to the root of the issue, he couldn’t take it."You are not my mother, Mina

Eric shrugged nonchalantly, leaning back in his chair. “We already went to the conference room. We waited for hours and hours, but you didn’t show, so we left.”I stared at him, birlwarded. “You told me thirty minutes.”“Thirty minutes?” he repeated mockingly. “What do you think I have to prepare for in thirty minutes? I told you we should meet later—fifteen minutes later, to be exact. We went there, waited for fifteen minutes, and you didn’t show. So we left. I have other things to do now.”I clenched my fists, forcing myself to remain calm. “Eric, when you came into my office and said you were serious about this project—that this was about the future—I actually believed you. I thought we were going to work on this together. But now you’re playing games again. So, what is it? Do you not want to inherit anything? Or do you want to inherit a failing company?”His smirk faded slightly, but he remained silent.“You know that you need me,” I continued, my voice steady but firm. “You kno

Thank God Eric finally started taking things seriously. Though I could see he didn’t appreciate my comments and the way I had handled things, he eventually stopped trying to undermine me with clever remarks and got down to business.As he presented the project, he introduced me to the team, outlining who did what and their roles. Each member pitched in, sharing their reports of what had been done. I asked them where they thought things had gone wrong, and whether they had conducted any assessment after the project had failed, and they offered their views on the issues.I instructed them to prepare a detailed report because I would need to go through it myself later, cross-checking their findings to see where improvements could be made. I also reminded them that Emmerson had prepared an alternative presentation, and I asked the members who had worked with Emerson to create a new version tailored to the Flager project.As we delved into the discussion, a knock on the door interrupted u

I bit back a retort, refusing to give him what he wanted, proof that he had any importance to me. He adjusted his jacket and tie, walking toward the door with triumph.Outside, I could hear him addressing the team. "All right, guys, we’re wrapping this up tomorrow morning. I’ve got to head to a dinner with the client tonight.""All right, boss.““ All right, boss," came the chorus of responses.The team entered the room to collect their things—laptops, files, and whatever else they had brought. They didn’t say a word to me, acting as if I didn’t exist. It was like Eric had trained them to ignore me entirely and act like I didn't exist.I knew it was something I’d have to deal with eventually. These people were supposed to be my team too, and I had to lead them. It was not going to be easy since I knew who they listened to and that person happened to be my nemesis. But right now, it was the last thing I wanted to think about.For now, I was just happy that the day was over. I could loo

“Yes,” I said, though the answer felt all wrong. I didn’t know Jason well, apart from his impeccable work ethic and his loyalty to the company. Telling him anything about Eric would risk putting him in an awkward position between Emerson, Eric and me, and that wasn’t fair.“It was fine, Jason, really,” I said, brushing off his concern.He didn’t press me further, and we rode the elevator down in silence. When we reached the lobby, we walked out together, the sound of our footsteps echoing in the vast space. Just as we spotted Emerson’s car, Jason stopped, gently tapping my shoulder.I turned back toward him, confused. “What is it?” I asked himJason’s face had turned serious again. “I know today was tough, and I mean it—I’m serious about my offer. Emerson doesn’t have to know. If you need my help with anything, anything at all, please don’t hesitate to tell me. I’ve worked here much longer than you have, and I know how things work around here. If you ever need someone, just know I’

When I finally came to, I felt disoriented. For a moment, I didn’t recognize where I was, and panic began to rise in my chest. I nearly screamed, but then I felt the warmth of Emerson’s hand stroking my hair, his voice calm and steady.“Relax, Mina. It’s fine. I’m here. I am here with you. Relax,” he said softly.That was when I realized I was lying in his lap in the car. My head rested on his thighs, and his hand continued its gentle smooth pat from my hair to my shoulder. The tension in my body eased almost instantly, and I looked up at him, blinking away the remainder of my confusion.As I started to sit up, he helped me, steadying me as I adjusted to being upright. My Eyes shifted outside, and I noticed it was already dark.“What time is it?” I asked, my voice still a little groggy. “Why did you let me sleep for so long? Aren’t we going to be late?”“It’s fine,” he reassured me, clearly unbothered. “You’re not going to make us late. It’s just seven. You only slept for—” he glanced

MARRYING My FATHER-IN-LAW Her Victim
After the nurse disappeared, the silence in the waiting room thickened. Every pair of eyes turned to me again.Tina’s gaze was sharp and accusing, her lips pressed into a tight, angry line. Eric didn’t bother hiding his disgust. He looked over me with disdain. Rita threw glances at me now and then and I couldn't tell what she was thinking, but I knew which side she was.I sat there, wondering.Why does Trey want to see me?The question circled in my mind over and over like a broken record. It made no sense. Why would he want me, of all people, by his bedside? This wasn’t just strange—it was absurd. Whether he realized it or not, he was putting me in a position I didn’t want to be in, a position I didn’t ask for.The minutes dragged on in agonizing silence.Finally, Tina broke it with a snarl. “Oh no. No one is stopping me. I’m going to see my son.”Without waiting for anyone’s response, she marched off furiously as she barreled down the hallway in search of Trey’s ward.Emerson exhal
MARRYING My FATHER-IN-LAW I Am His Mother
I couldn’t believe it. Trayson was awake. Talking. Alive. Relief and dread worked together inside me. I was glad he was conscious—no one here wanted a murder charge hanging over their head. But he was awake.Do you understand what I mean?He was going to talk. And what would he say?Would he say that Emerson attacked him? Would he twist the truth in his favour? Every eye in this room had already judged me. Even the officer, who was supposed to remain neutral, seemed to believe I was guilty.The worst part? Tina.This was the same woman who had spent the entire dinner praising me, gushing about how much she liked me. Her son had said so himself too. Now, here she was, transformed into a raging lioness, accusing me of being a monster who had hurt her son. And no matter what Trayson said—no matter what those security tapes from the restaurant revealed—Tina wasn’t going to believe that her precious son was an arrogant asshole.BUT, No alcohol in his system? Seriously?I remembered the fla
MARRYING My FATHER-IN-LAW Not your Wife
Everyone's eyes turned toward me, their expressions thick with anger, surprise, hatred, and disappointment. I could feel their judgment like sharp knives against my skin.Emerson's hand moved to his face, shielding his eyes as though trying to block out the truth or perhaps the sight of me standing there. He was the one person I wanted to look at, the one person whose reaction I needed to see. But he didn’t meet my gaze. I stood frozen, letting their stares cut into me, letting their judgment pour over me.Tina’s hand trembled as she raised it, pointing at me. Her voice was sharp, almost unrecognizable.“You tell me—what did you do to my son?”She pushed herself up, her entire body shaking with rage. I couldn’t move. I stood there, rooted in place, my breath caught in my throat, my mind blank. Tina was coming for me, and I didn’t know what to do.Eric grabbed her arms just in time, pulling her back as she lunged toward me. “Tina, stop!”The police officer stepped between us. His cal

“He is not dead, Tina!” Emerson snapped, his voice filled with frustration. “Stop acting as if he’s dead. He is alive and doing well. He is going to wake up, he’s going to regain consciousness, and he’s going to say what happened. Why are you causing all this ruckus? Why don’t you wait until he wakes up and speaks about what happened?”Tina’s expression hardened, her face replaced with suspicion and anger. “Because I’m afraid that one of you will get to him before I do,” she retorted. “Maybe you’ll get rid of him before I can find out the truth. And I’m going to protect my son.”Emerson’s face twisted in disbelief. “ Are you serious right now? I can't believe this, now you think we want to do what?“ Emerson released a sad laugh before he continued. “It’s okay if you don’t want me or Mina to go close to him. You’re his mother. You’re the first person he’s going to see. He’s going to tell you everything.““ And when he does tell me something, I don’t want any of you to flee. You’re g
MARRYING My FATHER-IN-LAW A Great Way To End The Night
I sat there on the chair, just sitting, staring at the walls, watching nurses and doctors pass by, their steps brisk, their faces a blur of calm and urgency. They came in and out, speaking softly, holding clipboards in hushed tones. My mind was blank. My body felt distant, as though I was a spectator of my own life.Then, out of nowhere, I heard the hurried click of heels—a determined, sharp sound cutting through the quiet of the hospital. Voices followed voices trying hard to be composed but strained.Tina and Emerson appeared first. They weren’t walking together; they were locked in a tug-of-war of anger. Emerson’s face was tight, his jaw clenched. Tina, her eyes wild, was a storm barely held in place.And behind them, a police officer.The sight of the uniform turned my stomach to ice. Panic surged through me so violently that I thought I might be sick. It’s done. We’re done. Everybody knows. I didn’t know how far this would go, but my mind raced to the worst. Was I an accomplice?
MARRYING My FATHER-IN-LAW Nothing Happened
They were all staring at me, waiting. The room felt smaller, and my heart raced. I was nervous. Too nervous. So I blurted the first word that came to my head."Nothing."Tina’s eyes darkened, her voice rising. "What do you mean nothing? Treyson is lying in there. He is hurt. His life is on the line, and you’re telling me that nothing?""I mean… nothing really happened," I stammered, my voice weak. "I don’t know what you expect me to say. I just… I don’t know what happened."Her anger rose as she stepped closer. "What do you mean you don’t know what happened, Mina?""Okay, let’s just calm down," Emerson interjected, his tone soothing as he placed himself between us. "I get that our emotions are running high, and we all want answers, but let’s take a breath."Tina was having none of it. Her glare burned right through me. "No. I want to know what happened to my son. You and Mina were the ones with Trey when it happened, and I want to know exactly what went down. Are you going to tell me?
MARRYING My FATHER-IN-LAW What Happened
I know some people are going to call me a hypocrite, but Eric always treated Tina with respect—almost like she was his mother. He had just called her his godmother at dinner for Christ's sake.This was so inappropriate.I didn’t know if he was taking advantage of the situation, taking advantage of her, or if he didn’t even realize what he was doing. I didn’t know.But seeing the look on Rita’s face?Now that was good.That was priceless.The way she got mad. How her face turned red with fury. My heart released some heartache.As we reached them, Rita shifted her body, positioning herself firmly beside Eric. Emerson and I stood directly in front of Eric and Rita.Emerson didn’t waste time.“How is he? What did the doctor say? Is he going to be alright”Tina, trying her best not to cry, answered, “They haven’t told us anything. Ever since we got here, nobody has told us anything. I don’t know how my son is doing. I’m so worried. I just hope he gets out of all of this alive.”Eric reach
MARRYING My FATHER-IN-LAW Seeing What I am Seeing
The car grew silent again, but of course, Rita couldn't just let the moment be. She decided to shift her attention from me to Emerson.“Mr. Blackwind—oh, I’m sorry,” she started awkwardly.Emerson didn’t miss a beat. “It’s fine, Rita. We’re family. You can call me Emerson.”I couldn’t help myself. “Or, Dad. You can call him father.” I gave a low laugh, the kind that dripped with sarcasm. If she was going to call him Dad, how exactly was she supposed to refer to me?Classic!The thought amused me more than it should have. I started laughing again. Rita shot me a glare, but then she straightened her posture, composed herself, and chose to ignore me. Smart choice.“What do you think happened to Trey?” she asked, her voice suddenly filled with curiosity and concern. “I mean, he was fine one minute, and then he just fell, and there was blood everywhere. Do you think it could be… a disease? Maybe he fainted from something else? Maybe he had a heart Attack Or an allergy to the food?”She li
MARRYING My FATHER-IN-LAW The Sister's Argument
The car was silent as we made our way to the hospital. The hum of the tyres on the road was a dull soundtrack to my chaotic thoughts. 'Oh God, please let Trey survive. Please don’t let anything bad happen. Please, just this once, let everything be okay.'The prayer looped in my head, unspoken but desperate, until a voice broke through to the present.“Mina? Mina?”I didn’t respond. I was too lost in my thoughts.“Mina!” Rita’s voice sharpened, as she shouted.I turned my head sharply toward her.“What do you want, Rita?”“Have you seen Mom? Have you talked to her lately?”I scoffed, a bitter laugh escaping before I could stop it.“Of course, you know I haven’t. You’re the one who talks to her all the time. You’re her bestie, aren’t you? You’d know if I had because she tells you everything.”Rita continued. “I think you should call Mom. At least check in on her. Whatever happened between the two of you—she’s still your mother.”Another scoff, sharper this time.“After what she said at
