THE DESPERATE DAUGHTER-INLAW A DEFIANT SON
The mild breeze blew across her face from where she sat on the field with Toyosi sitting opposite her. It was dark and the whole place was calm. “Lisa, what are you thinking? You’ve been moody all day since we left your father’s house,” Toyosi said.She sighed heavily and tucked her hair behind her ears.“I..I don’t know why I’m beginning to develop a feeling of doubt about this whole thing,” she said as she looked at her face.“Feeling of doubt? I don’t get it,” she said abstrusely.“You know, my father’s last words really hitted me hard. I..I don’t know why I’m beginning to feel like he might somehow be right,” she said.“No..no..I’m not taking that!” Toyosi cut in.She swallowed hard and her gaze lowered from her face.“Lisa, how could you believe such a thing! That Daren is working with his family against you?” She asked in disbelief and she didn’t reply.“Your father is only trying to create distrust between you two. Since he can’t break you two physically, he would do so mental

In the small dim chambers, she sipped her wine slowly with her face looking downcasted. Mrs Selina could also be seen sitting on the couch opposite her with her legs crossed stylishly.“Elsa, what do you think about my decision concerning Daren? Do you think it’s harsh?” She asked with her eyes looking deep in her face.She heaved a sigh and took a deep breath.“No, mother. Daren needs to be taught a lesson,” she voiced out sternly.“Great. When he finally learns his lesson, I believe he will come back crawling before our feet,” she said with a chuckle.There was a moment of silence and she took a sip from her glass and raised her head to her mother.“So, what are your plans for the company?” She asked.“Well, from what we’ve witnessed so far, Dotun has done so well in handling the company. Right, daughter?” She asked with a smile.She nodded and heaved a sigh.“He really did so well as a CEO,” she acknowledged.“So, I was thinking, now that he is the only one left, why don’t we hand

There was loud laughter inside the moderately furnished three bedroom apartment. It was a sunny afternoon and a few activities could be seen going on in the house.“I’m so elated to know that Daren and I would finally be living freely on our own,” Melisa’s voice could be heard as she arranged the cushion on the couch.“Yes, you know, it’s better than living in that mansion that erodes your peace,” Toyosi put in.“I’m really so happy. Though it might not be as luxurious as the ones we’ve been used to, what really matters is that we find our peace of mind,” Daren said from the TV shelf and Evan nodded with a smile.“It’s good to have you guys together. I know you’re both never going to regret this,” he said and they nodded with smiles on their faces.“Guys, let’s hurry up before those big headed kids come back from school,” Toyosi said.“Oh, yes, I also need to fix lunch,” Melisa added.In the evening, they all sat in the living room watching Tv together while the kids played around the

Inside the mini-mall, a few people could be seen walking to and fro. Before the cashier's desk, he stood waiting patiently for his items to be wrapped up. “Oh, thank you,” he said as he was handed the items now wrapped up in a shopping bag.He was about to turn when he felt a presence beside him. He could see the average heighted brown skin man talking to the cashier on the counter. His brows raised and a smile appeared on his face.“Mr Bronze,” he called.The man turned with his brows raised and they both stared at each other in surprise.“Charles,” he called in surprise as he stared at Charles Boseman who was staring at him with a smile on his handsome face.“It’s good to see you again,” he said with a smile and they both shook hands warmly.“I heard what happened, how you left the mansion. Now you are finally becoming a man,” Mr Bronze remarked with a chuckle and Charles managed a small smile on his lips.“Come, we need to talk. My car is parked outside,” he urged and Charles nodd

Sitting dejectedly on the couch, her eyes stared into space with her palms clenched together on her chest. She looked sideways as she heard footsteps coming from the foyer. She sighed and looked away from her mother who had just stepped into the living room, splendidly dressed in a purple short dress, glittering all over with silver stones and beads. “Oh, Elsa, when will you stop wearing yourself out because of that ungrateful man you call husband,” she said sternly as she walked closer to the couch and dropped her purse on the couch. She didn’t reply and she kept on staring at space. “Elsa,” she called again. “Mother, I’m not wearing myself out because of him. I just need a moment to myself,” she said in a rather high tone. Mrs Selina made a sigh of relief and a wry smile appeared on her lips. “That’s my daughter. Come on, when he is done fooling himself out there, he will return to you. And we will make him suffer before we accept him back into this family,” she said sternly.

“This is unbelievable!” Toyosi could be heard screaming as she ran into the house with excitement.“We just couldn’t keep the news to ourselves, babe! I’m so over the moon!” She cried out and they both hugged tightly.“Mommy,” May called while running to meet her mother.“Oh, May, you need to leave your mommy to rest for now. Go and play with the boys,” Toyosi urged while trying to turn her away.“Oh, let my baby girl come to me,” she insisted and lifted May from the floor.Toyosi smiled as she saw the little girl giggle with excitement.“I know Daren is the happiest man on earth right now,” she whispered to Melisa who was playing with her daughter.She smiled and turned to Daren who was drinking and laughing with Evan and their fathers who were both present in the room.“Come over here, daughter,” Mr Bronze urged with his hands as he caught her staring at them.She walked over to him and she handed May over to him. She took her seat beside him and he heaved a sigh and turned to look

It was a beautiful atmosphere at the Charles B’s kitchen which was set for its grand opening. The spacious restaurant which was neatly arranged with chairs and tables covered in white linen cloth was splendidly designed and people could be seen walking to and fro as loud music played in the background.“Oh, I can’t help with this sweet aroma of delicious delicacies making my stomach rumble!” Evan could be heard saying from where he sat with Daren and Mr Bronze around a table.“Oh, yes. My dad is a master chef. I learned several foreign delicacies from him,” Daren remarked.“I believe in him. He would do great with the restaurant business,” Mr. Bronze added and they all nodded.They were still speaking when Toyosi hurried towards them, holding May and her boys who were trying to break free from her. She was looking so disorganized with strands of her hair dangling all over her face.“Please, watch over these kids. They’re slowing down our work at the kitchen,” she said as she pushed th

She hurried into the room and shut the door behind her. For a moment, she stopped and leaned her back on the door, sobbing silently. She had tried to hold back the tears all through their ride home but right now, she needed to let it out, she thought as she wept heavily.She walked away from the door and looked around the spacious, serene bedroom which had grown so cold without the presence of her once beloved husband. Charles had given his all for this marriage; how could she have thought he would be nothing without her. She gulped and walked to the bed where she sat down slowly and reminisced about her encounter with him at the restaurant. The tears flowed down freely and she had no second thought of holding them back.Just then, she heard a voice outside the room and she wiped off her tears immediately. The door opened and her mother walked into the room wearing a long face. She stopped before the bed and gave her a long stare.“What’s with the tears, Elsa?” She asked angrily.“Mo

THE DESPERATE DAUGHTER-INLAW THE END
ONE WEEK LATERInside the spacious banquet hall, beautifully decorated to the core, people could be seen sitting around the tables covered with white linen cloths and flowers. A lot of delicious delicacies, drinks and desserts could also be seen on each table. Slow music played in the background and the beautiful colorful lights could be seen, illuminating the whole place.“May I?” Daren asked with his hand stretched towards Melisa who was walking towards him, dressed in a long beautiful black fishtail dress that was designed all over with beads and glittering silver stones. Her beautiful chubby face was heavily made up and her earrings and necklace sparkled like diamond as she sampled them with pride. Her red full lips broke into a smile as she gazed at Daren who was standing before her, dressed stunningly in black tuxedo and silver bowtie.She smacked her lips seductively as she looked at his charming dark round eyes which were looking into hers. He leaned towards her and his lips l

Within a second, men heavily armed and dressed in police uniforms surrounded the room.“Your hands in the air!” The men in front ordered with their guns pointing towards him.He turned to look at his mother who was still sitting on her seat, wearing a stone cold face and at Melisa who was weeping heavily as Diana’s body was covered on the floor.“Mother, you shouldn’t let them take him. We can work things out,” Daren cried and rushed towards his mom who didn't utter a word nor make any move.“Mother!” Daren cried as he watched Dotun being handcuffed by the police men.“Daren, put yourself together!” Evan consoled while holding him together.“I can’t let them take him, I can’t!” He cried as he stood up immediately and surged towards the men who were trying to walk Dotun out of the room.They pushed him away and his father and Melisa pulled him back as he tried to go after the men again.Watching Daren cry brought tears to his eyes and he stopped in the middle of the men with his body t

He brought the ringing phone out of his suit pocket as the car drove speedily along the road. He looked at the caller ID and his brows gathered as he saw the strange number which popped up on the phone.“Hello,” he answered grumpily.“Hey, buddy,” A cheerful male voice sounded from the phone.“Who are you? Be straight,” he ordered impatiently.“You don’t need to know me. I’m your savior. Turn around quickly and head back to the mansion. Your beloved wife is having a good time with her lover. Hurry up if you want to catch them red handed,” the voice continued.There was a moment of silence and his face hardened. He felt perspiration all over his neck and brows and he couldn’t catch his breath for a moment. He adjusted the red tie over his neck and he began to pant heavily.“Who are you?” He managed to ask.“Like I’ve said before, I’m your savior,” he replied again and his heart skipped.“You can believe me if you want to, you can also choose not to believe me. It’s all in your decision
THE DESPERATE DAUGHTER-INLAW A WAY OUT
“Hold on, I’m coming,” she voiced out tiredly as she walked over to the door. On opening the door, she froze on her spot as her eyes fell on Elsa Boseman who was simply dressed in a red long maxi dress and black beaded scarf wrapped around her head. She swallowed hard and looked away from the smiling Elsa to Charles Boseman who was standing behind her, wearing a calm smile on his face.Her brows gathered deeply and she heaved a sigh and walked away from the door immediately.“Li..Lisa, I’m.” Elsa tried to speak as she walked into the house with her husband following behind her.She stopped for a moment as she saw Daren in the living room, playing with May on the floor. Her eyes never left the beautiful girl who was laughing with excitement as she played with her father.She gulped as her eyes fell on Daren who was now looking in her direction. He stood up immediately and walked towards them with his eyes looking at his father sternly.“What..what is going on here?” He asked angrily w
THE DESPERATE DAUGHTER-INLAW SHE ESCAPED
The gate opened and they both stepped into the dark room which was void of light. He switched on the torchlight he was holding and flashed the light against the room. He cringed for a moment as he saw the old woman lying still on the floor. He flashed his light all over the room again and he shook his head and let out a chuckle in dismay. “What is going on? Where is your mother?” Diana asked, walking ahead of him with her eyes looking all over the room. He flashed his light up to the ceiling and the window and then he stopped with the light pointing at the bloodstain on the wall close to the window. “No..this..this is not happening,” he cried in disbelief as he walked to the wall hastily. “She escaped!” Diana cried, looking alarmed. He began to pant heavily and he turned to the old woman who was still lying on the floor. “Wake up!” He yelled as he walked over to her. “Wake up, you witch!” Diana yelled while hitting her with her boots. “Stop,” he ordered and she stopped while pa
THE DESPERATE DAUGHTER-INLAW AWAITING JUSTICE
“Father, are you saying we shouldn’t go ahead to arrest that devil?!” Evan yelled from the couch where he sat, staring at Charles with his eyes burning with fury.“Evan, Daren, keep calm and do as I say,” Charles urged as he looked at the young enraged men who were sitting opposite him.Melisa could be seen sobbing silently with Toyosi sitting beside her, patting her shoulders.“That evil woman made me suffer for years. She caused me enough pain that could have made me lose my sanity. What if Daren had not come back for me? What if he had let his rage get the better part of him and he does something stupid to me and my daughter? If God had not been faithful to us, where would we have been by now?” She asked amidst tears streaming down her face.“Lisa, it’s enough. We are glad that you are alive to witness this day. Justice will finally be granted to you, Daren and May,” Toyosi consoled.“Love, put yourself together and be calm. You know your condition,” Daren said from where he sat.S
THE DESPERATE DAUGHTER-INLAW THE REVELATION
Marching into the private ward he was kept in, they could see two policemen standing beside the hospital bed where he was lying with fluid running through his veins. They both heaved a sigh of relief as they caught sight of him and his head turned in their direction, hearing their footsteps.Daren walked slowly towards the bed and the policemen offered him a seat.He declined and Charles took his seat diligently with his eyes fixed on the young man lying on the bed, looking debilitated.“You asked to see me. What happened to you?” Daren asked grumpily.“She tried to kill me,” Jerry said with a chuckle.“Who?” He asked with his eyes wide open.“The one behind all of your mysteries,” he replied with a smile.“Be straight,” Charles commanded from his seat.“Your brother’s wife, Diana,” he spilled and their eyes bulged.He turned slowly to look at his father whose eyes were wide open in dismay.“Tell me more,” Daren urged immediately.“I don’t know how she found out everything that was ha
THE DESPERATE DAUGHTER-INLAW MAKE IT MORE SERIOUS
Walking into the room, he heaved a sigh and took off his jacket.“They took the threat seriously, babe. Did you see the frightened look on their faces?” He asked with laughter while turning to face her.She smiled and sat on the bed gracefully.“Yes, they took it seriously. But don’t be surprised if your hard hearted mother fails to comply,” she said and he frowned.“She won’t. She wouldn’t want to trade the life of her family for anything else,” he said and she scoffed.“And What if she proves stubborn in the end?” She asked, walking up to meet him.He kept silent and exhaled deeply.“I don’t know what my next step would be,” he said.“We need to make it more serious,” she said and he pulled a surprised face.“How?” He asked sharply and she didn’t reply.“Like, you want me to kill someone?” He asked.“No, I’m not asking you to kill anybody. But we could at least hurt someone,” she said.“Who?” He asked.“Any one of them,” she said seriously and he didn’t reply.*The chirps of birds
THE DESPERATE DAUGHTER-INLAW THE THREAT
The small gate pushed open and she walked into the room, holding a small tray of food. She could see the women lying on the floor wearily and laughter emitted from her lips.At her sight, they both sat up slowly and they could see the evil smile she was wearing as the light from the window reflected all over her face.“You..you decided to bring us food today?” Mrs. Selina asked with a shaky voice.“Oh, I thought you’ve died, old witch,” she said with a chuckle as she dropped the food on the floor and pushed it with her feet towards them.“You don’t disrespect my mother in that manner!” Elsa yelled and she laughed.“Look at you, the bossy Elsa,” she mocked and walked towards her.She leaned closer to her face and chuckled.“Your days of being a boss are finally over. One more word from you and I will see that you go hungry for three good days,” she threatened and Mrs. Selina shook her head in fear.“Now, eat,” she ordered and the women looked at each other before looking down at the sm
