MARRYING My FATHER-IN-LAW Rumours and Assumptions
Emerson chuckled as he pulled me back towards him on the bed. "We are not at war. There is no war going on," he said, his voice teasing.I frowned. "It feels like there is."" There is no war, okay? This is all in your head," he said gently, tapping his finger slowly on my forehead. "You see? No one is at war with you...""They are! Have you seen the news?""I’ve seen it," he replied with a shrug. "But you're the only one on this path for revenge. Whoever wrote this nonsense probably knows nothing about what's actually going on. I don't think they did this to start a war with you, it just happens to be a juicy headline."I shook my head. "But the rumours, the speculations… Saying that you're sharing women with Eric? It’s ridiculous!""Nonsense," he agreed, a smile on his lips."I know, right? I mean, there’s no way they could think that, right? And then all the stuff about us going behind Eric's back, it's… it's absurd!""It is absurd," Emerson said, still smiling. "People will say wh

Emerson sighed, looking at me, and there was some flicker of vulnerability in his eyes. I hated doing this, turning his idea down, he probably planned a whole day, but I was being practical. I didn’t even know where this sudden idea of a date came from.“Fine,” he said after a moment, his tone defeated. “You know what? Focus. On your revenge, focus on what you have to do. I... I just thought maybe you needed to relax, and have some fun. I thought maybe we could spend some time together. But it seems like you're not in the mood for that right now, so... whenever you change your mind, I'm here."I smiled, feeling a bit sad inside, I did want to spend time with him…. but I had to put on a brave face. “I understand, a lot. I just know that when I go back to work, with everything that’s been said... and knowing Eric, I have to be ready for it. We'll do it another time, maybe next weekend? After we get through this first week back at work.”He nodded, though there was still a hint of disap

Emerson's tongue moves with mine, our breaths mingling, and the kiss deepening. I open up to him, letting him lead, giving back just as much as I get. He pulls me closer with his hands on my waist as they wander towards my neck, pulling my hair to the side gently so he's able to take my mouth harder in his. Fingers threading through my hair like he’s gripping onto something fragile, pulling me closer to him so our bodies are touching. The pressure of his lips and the heat of him is magical. His hand is on my waist, massaging me, touching me, exploring me, sending a heat wave towards my core centre and I feel hot all over. My body reacts instinctively, one hand moving to his neck, holding him closer, the other sliding along his arm. I can feel my body shift, my desire cheering me on to climb onto him when suddenly….Crash!The sound is sharp, cutting all the sexual tension between us. We both freeze, our heads snapping towards the source. Madeline stands there, eyes wide and filled w

I got to the office early, as I usually did, though not as early as I had planned. A few people were already there. I smiled and waved, bringing back the old Mina, the one they all remembered. They greeted me back, but behind their tight, sarcastic smiles, I could see the judgment. They thought they knew everything, just because they had read a few articles about me in some magazines online. I took it in stride and walked into my office, shutting the door behind me.I started working on a document I had been working on before my leave. At exactly 8 o'clock, Eric walked in. His presence was unmistakable, and I could feel the air get charged immediately. I smiled brightly, expecting him to throw his first punch. He walked in with an air of confidence, his smile too big, too wide, too smug. There was a look in his eyes, one of triumph, that immediately put me on alert. He had something up his sleeve."Good morning, Eric. How may I help you?" I asked, keeping my voice professional, supp

The smugness on Eric's face faltered, and before he could find or gather something to say, I continued, "If you want to keep your job, I suggest you get out of my office and start working on the project I placed on your desk…..the one I’m sure you haven’t even touched yet. I am not doing your work for you anymore."I gave him a mocking smile, my voice filled with fake happiness and pleasantries. "I know you just got back from your honeymoon. Congrats on your wedding, by the way. But now it’s time to get back to work."I snapped my fingers twice. "Cha-cha, Eric. Please. Go. To. Work."His eyes widened in fury, his voice dripping with contempt as he spat, "Are you crazy or just stupid?"Unbothered, I calmly reached for the letter, handing it to him. "You might want to read this," I said, my tone as casual, calm and collected as ever. As Eric scanned the document, I could see the colour drain from his face. Whatever confidence he had walked in with was now evaporating, leaving him

I watched him Eric leave, a smirk playing on my lips as I leaned back in my chair, already knowing how this was going to end.I took my time, instructing my secretary and Wendy, the nosiest woman in the office, to start clearing out Eric’s belongings. Wendy, who had a talent for poking her head into everything, was all too eager to get involved. The two worked silently, putting Eric's things into boxes while moving my belongings into the corner office that had once been his. I sat in his chair, turning it around, letting my eyes watch over the view and admiring the space. As much as I knew this position came partly due to my relationship with Emerson, I also knew I had worked damn hard for it. I deserved this and I didn't care how I got it. I would have done the morally right thing by waiting for Eric to clear out his own office, but considering how he had treated me this morning, he didn't deserve it. Plus I knew he was going to make a fuss. As they continued setting up, I couldn't

Eric’s eyes shifted towards me, his eyes sharp, accusing and hostile. "You," he hissed, "humiliating me, using him against me!""Eric, you need to calm down," I said, trying to maintain composure as he began walking toward me. His movements were tense, deliberate. There was something dangerous in the way he carried himself, something that told me he wasn't thinking clearly and he might do something he would later regret."Eric, stop going after her," Emerson's voice interrupted, still controlled, but I could see a slight irritation or maybe fear in his eyesBut Eric wasn't listening. He was in too deep. "You're telling me you can't see through her? You can't see through what she's doing to you?" His voice rose with desperation. "She doesn't love you. She married you to hurt me!"Eric's voice cracked. Betrayal and disbelief in his words. "You are my father. I can't believe you're standing with this woman to get revenge on your own son, to hurt your own son." He pointed to himself, h
Last Updated : 2024-10-16MARRYING My FATHER-IN-LAW I Quit
I glanced between Emerson and Eric, at them both. Emerson looked at his son, and then back at me. I could see the struggle in his eyes, the battle inside him. When I asked Emerson to marry me that night, after he proposed to me, I never expected it to reach this far, to be standing at this crossroads. To destroy Emerson's relationship with his son, his only child.I know Emerson didn’t grow up with any siblings, and Eric is the only family he has left in this world. Eric knows this too, and that’s why he’s using it as a weapon, trying to force his father’s hand.Eric and Emerson are not very close, But They’ve always had a good relationship, at least as much as one could expect given everything they’d been through. When Eric was younger, he used to be his father’s shadow, always by his side. The two were like peas in a pod, Eric looked up to his father. But after Emerson's marriage fell apart and he caught his wife with another man, it created a rift between him and his son. Eric h

MARRYING My FATHER-IN-LAW Right In My Face
I can't believe this, but I know that it is true. It had all been right there, right in front of my face. Madeline's love for Emerson was so obvious. And her hatred for me. There were so many times she showed me how she hated me. But I chose to ignore that. I chose to ignore the things that I hated about her. The things that irritated me about her. I chose to solve it to feel good. I chose to try and find a relationship with her. Because my relationship with my mother was dead. So I tried finding it in this woman. This person I thought I knew. She had shown her disdain for me from the start, And when she wanted to hush things down with me, I was so happy. I felt like I had gotten my mom back.But when I was thinking that, this woman was planning my death. She was planning my downfall. Mine. And she didn't even care about this baby. This poor baby hadn't done anything towards her. She is dangerous. Who does that? Who hates you so much and smiles on your f
MARRYING My FATHER-IN-LAW True Feelings
She lets out a long sigh. "So I went back into the kitchen to find the pudding. I met the waitress who needed help at the back of the house. I showed her where everything was, and when I came back inside… the pudding was gone...I thought maybe someone else had taken it."I nod slowly, the realization settling deeper within me. “That must have been when Treyson arrived and had taken it,” I tell her, my voice steady but shaking inside.“Yes, it must have been,” Rose agrees, her eyes wide. “But I didn’t know that at the time. So, I started rushing outside, thinking that you had already eaten it. And then I find you, you know, eating the pudding. I don’t even think about it. I just flash towards you and throw the ball away..."" And then you tell me not to eat it.”“Did I say that?” she asks, surprised.I nod, her face pained as she continues. “Yeah, maybe I did. But I don’t remember saying that either. I was just so focused on
MARRYING My FATHER-IN-LAW The Competition
"I tried to talk to her," Rose continues, her voice filled with regret. "I tried to tell her to forget about it. You were pregnant now. The two of you were planning to get married. After the pregnancy, Emerson was clearly taken by you. He was in love with you, and it was so obvious. He doted on you. You were so happy, and there was no question about the two of you being in love, about being a family."She pauses, looking down at her hands as if replaying the events in her mind."I tried to tell Madeline to see that. I tried to tell her to give up on this competition with you. I tried to tell her to forget about Emerson. He obviously didn’t love her. I mean, if they had been dating all those years, and he’d never shown her how he felt about her, then he probably didn’t feel for her that way."I try to process her words, but a knot tightens in my stomach."She wouldn’t understand," Rose murmurs. "And that’s one of the reasons she started shutting me off. I kept telling her that she shou
MARRYING My FATHER-IN-LAW It Can't Be
I shake my head. "Excuse me? You're wrong. Madeline and Emerson? No.... They can’t—he would have told me."Rose gives me a knowing look. "Would he, really?" She raises an eyebrow. "Do you realize how weird that would be? ‘Oh hey, honey, by the way, I was sleeping with the woman who works in my house before I decided to propose to you.’ Yeah, that would go over well."I shake my head again, more forcefully this time. "No. It can't be."She exhales sharply. "It is what happened. Why don’t you ask Madeline? Or better yet, ask Emerson. I’m sure one of them will fess up and tell you the truth."I feel my world tilting, my mind racing. This is too much. It doesn’t make sense. I keep thinking about Emerson. I keep thinking about Madeline. There were no signs. I would have seen something...I swallow hard. "It can’t be right."But a nagging voice in my head whispers—Would Emerson lie to me about something this big?Because if it is true, then I already know why Madeline would want me dead.R
MARRYING My FATHER-IN-LAW I Don't Believe You
"Yes, Mina. Yes, yes, yes," Rose hisses, leaning forward. "You know that Madeline hates you. She hates you more than anybody else in the world. Her hatred for you burns—it’s an inferno. Nothing can ever tame it. She hates you like I have never seen before. That’s how much she hates you."I clench my fists. "Now you’re trying to destroy my home, my family. After trying to kill me, now you’re going to try to destroy my home?" My voice trembles, my mind racing. "Madeline has been there for years. She has never done this. You just want to get in my head and alienate me from people who care. Why? Just because I’m not with Eric anymore? Because I’m dating Emerson now? That’s why she suddenly wants to kill me?" I shake my head. "I’m pregnant. I’m carrying Emerson’s baby. If she wanted to kill me, she had all the chances to. Why would she want to kill me now?"Rose scoffs. "Oh, I see. I must be lying to you, right? That’s what you think? After all, I want nothing good for you. All I want is
MARRYING My FATHER-IN-LAW You Know Why
Rose starts laughing again, the sound hollow and sharp."Even if I tell you, you're not going to believe me.""Why wouldn’t I believe you?""Because I already told the police. I already told Tom. I told everybody. But nobody listens to me.""Tell me. I'll listen." I say calmly."Really?" She tilts her head, her eyes narrowing. "So I just tell you and then what? You don’t have any evidence against them. All the evidence points to me, doesn’t it? I’m going down for this.""Just tell me. Okay? Stop going around in circles. If you didn't do it and you know who did it, just tell me who did it."Rose’s eyes meet mine, dark and unreadable."You know what I can't believe, Mina?" Rose’s voice is sharp, her eyes burning. "It’s the fact that I actually saved your fucking life. And instead of being grateful, instead of thanking me for saving your life, I ended up in jail...."I swallow, my throat dry."I think the only reason I’m here is actually because I fucking saved you. If I had let you fini
MARRYING My FATHER-IN-LAW Then Who
Emerson sighs. I can see that he doesn't want to take me to see Rose, but he relents as he tells the driver to take us to the police station.We reach there, and Emerson goes through all the procedures, talking to the police and everything until we are given a chance to talk to her. I sit there waiting for them to take her to a room so I can see her, but after a while, the police officer—the detective working on the case—comes in and says that Rose doesn’t want to see me."Well, I want to see her," I tell him. "I want this."The detective exhales. "We’re already going out of our way. You aren’t even allowed to see her. We’re breaking protocol letting you see her, so if she doesn’t want to see you, we can’t force her."I look towards Emerson, who is standing beside me. "I want to talk to Rose," I tell him again, my voice firm.He sighs, then turns to the detective. "Detective, can we talk for a minute outside, please?"The detective looks at me, then at Emerson, before nodding and step
MARRYING My FATHER-IN-LAW Emmerson - Why
Mina rested her hand gently on her stomach, the other reaching for mine. Her fingers were warm and comforting, but the pain in her eyes still lingered."Please, Emerson, don’t blame yourself for this, okay?" she said softly, her voice barely above a whisper. "I didn’t know it could have happened, and you didn’t know it either."I shook my head, frustrated with myself. "I know, but I was just so surprised... I knew she didn’t like you, then all of a sudden, you came back, and she was all over you, pretending to care, acting like she was so happy about the baby. It should have been a red flag, but I didn’t know that. I didn’t know at the time, but I should’ve looked into it. I could have lost you if that idiot Trey hadn’t eaten your pudding."Mina’s expression softened as she reached up, cupping my cheek gently. "It’s okay," she said, her voice steady but filled with warmth. "I’m here, we’re here, the baby’s here. I just hope that we can be fine."
MARRYING My FATHER-IN-LAW Emmerson - The Poison
EmmersonMina was in and out of it, but by the next morning, luckily, she woke up. She was totally disoriented, her face scrunched up in pain, but the moment I saw her eyes open, relief crashed over me I immediately ran to the doctor, who came in and explained everything to her slowly. I watched her carefully, knowing exactly when her mind caught up with what they were saying. The moment they mentioned the baby, her entire body tensed in fear.She freaked out. Her eyes welled up, panic overtaking her pain.But the doctors reassured her. They told her that she and the baby were fine, but she would have to stay at the hospital for further monitoring. They needed to make sure the poison hadn’t caused any long-term effects on her or our unborn child.Mina broke down, tears streaming down her face.I hated seeing her cry. I leaned in, took her trembling hand in mine, and whispered, “You have to be strong, baby. You’re body
