Chapter 1: The Servant Son-in-law

Blake Walker

The bright light hit my eyes. I was awake already but I was used to his rusty hinge voice yelling which came seconds after the powerful rays from his torch. So I waited for it. Counting in my head with my eyes shut from five...four...three...two...one.

"Get up you moron who will milk the cows?"

There it was. My annoying alarm clock. I sprung out of bed hoping he was not carrying a bucket full of freezing cold water again. The last time I kept him waiting, believe me it was a couple seconds after the bright light, he poured ice cold water on me. I had to pick ice cubes from my squeaky metallic bed with a mattress thin as rail and mop the entire potholed floor of my crib the size of a pig pen.

"Good morning sir" I said bowing in respect, my arms behind my back.

"There is nothing good about this morning, get out!" He shouted showing me the way.

I grabbed my cowboy hut and coat. The milking bucket and a spotlight were hanging on the Wall at the entrance where I also slid into my torn smelly gumboots and led the way outside. So, who was this man? Let me introduce you to my father-in-law Gerald Wallace. Calm down, I will soon explain why I was milking my in-law's cows. Anyway, the corral was a few meters away from my crib in the servant’s quarter. While I opened the makeshift gate to the cows he used the tarmacked access road with a gate that separated the main compound from the SQ to walk back to his magnificent manor but before he left he gave further instructions. A Warning to be exact which also coupled as an ultimatum and a threat.

"When I come back I want the cows milked and out of the cowshed, you have thirty minutes, if you're not done you better have somewhere else you will live" he said before walking away.

I did not hesitate to start off. For company, I switched on my small music player. Kenny Rodgers hits back to back would bring that mood and also...this was a secret...the cows would be willing to give me more than enough although Gerald wouldn't notice it, he never noticed my achievements easily.

The cows were always aligned in the order which I was supposed to milk them. I washed my hands and started with Genesis. I named her Genesis because she was the first cow I ever milked and I always enjoyed milking her for no apparent reason but maybe because whenever I started with another, my day would be full of being yelled at and being despised more than the daily average. Trust me am so skeptical and less superstitious but this was among the few things I also couldn't explain.

"Come on girl, you can do better than this" I said going back to the udder for the second round.

By the time l was done with genesis there was roughly twenty minutes on the clock before Gerald came back, I had to divide the twenty minutes among the three remaining cows. My job was fun as much as Gerald and his family tried to make my life miserable and my wife Tessa could only do little to help. I didn't want her to help me really, I just wished she would tell her parents that I was once someone very special to her so that they would treat me with some dignity equivalent to what they offered their dogs.

I used to be the beloved son-in-law until I lost the little I had, courtesy of the street gang wars that ended in random fires in all my business ventures and having nowhere to go I found myself living with my in-laws. The first few months were great. I had my own room in the main house, shared a table with them, maids and servants respected me and till today I believe it was because I was still showing some signs of ever getting back on my feet and having a sense of direction again. The last bit of appreciation and importance left went straight to the gutter when the state attorney handed me a series of law suits from my former business associates and employees that nibbled my meagre savings like a denomination of ants. By the time I was halfway through the court visits I had nothing that's when the Wallace's started showing their true colours. They suddenly developed an allergy to poverty. From being served I was asked to help with a few things in the house and before I knew it I was asked to live in the servant’s quarter.

Enough of the flashback. I checked my watch and gladly I had five minutes tops. I switched off the music player and carried the milking bucket to the kitchen where the cooks would take it up from there. Since I couldn't go back to sleep again I decided to stay updated on the recent gang wars that had ran me out of business. I would live to regret that choice.

Tessa Wallace

A loud knock on my door brought me from slumber land. I groaned softly and slid out of my bed. Stretched my arms yawning loudly and rubbing sleep from my heavy eyes.

"Coming mum!" I said after the second knock.

Every morning my mum and I went jogging in the Wallace family twenty four acre piece of land. It was our tradition among the few things we did together if we were not at each other's throats making dad chose who was right.

"Come on Tessa we will be late" she shouted going for the third knock but I opened the door.

"You scream a lot" I said leading the way through the well-lit alley.

We were both wearing black vest tops and matching black tights. There was a slight difference between us, I was like her younger version but we both looked in shape. From the staircase I could see Blake was shyly seated on the edge of the couch, looking comfortable in the living room his eyes glued on the TV.

"What are you doing here this early?" I asked.

I could already feel my mum seething with rage behind me and this time I wasn't sure if my intervention could save him from what was going to happen next.

"Am just watching news sorry if my presence did cause any inconvenience" he said quickly getting on his feet when he saw mum.

"You know what your problem is Blake?" She asked pushing me aside.

There she went, I was really hoping he was ready for an early morning verbal diarrhea that mum had in store for him. After all, he brought it on himself.

"No mum, sorry...Mrs. Wallace"

"Your problem is you act so humble and innocent when indeed you are so rude and inconsiderate, what are you doing in the living room? Have you ever seen the employees watching TV from here?"

Blake shook his head.

"Then what are you doing here?"

"Mum..."

"Shh! Stay out of this Tessa!" She bellowed turning around angrily, wearing pure rage for make up on her face, "The biggest mistake of your life was marrying this loser here and it pains me seeing you stand up for him"

"Am sorry Mrs. Wallace it won't happen again" Blake said leaving.

It was a lot to take in and I bet my mum was just getting started

"Don't you dare walk out on me!" Mum shouted on top of her lungs.

Any minute from then dad was going to come downstairs and I didn't want that for him. A Blend of dad and mum was worse than death as the two could strip a person naked of any confidence and self-worth they had left by word of mouth!

"Enough mum let him go" I tried to intervene but she went ahead and grabbed his hand, slapped him so hard I think he lost a tooth that day.

He stood still, his shoulders drooped and his head hanging in shame he did not look like he was slapped in fact it was mum who was massaging her hand. I did not pity him. He was my husband but he was also exceptionally lazy and contented with his pauper status.

"If you walk out on me again I will throw you out of this house you hear me?"

Blake nodded avoiding eye contact.

"Talk!"

"I hear you Mrs. Wallace" He mumbled

"Good now get your dirty self out of my sight!"

As Blake walked out back to the SQ mum and I started jogging towards the gate, behind us was her personal guard and driver, Tom with another guard. We ran side by side our pony’s swinging to the movement of our bodies.

"The slap was unnecessary" I said as we crossed the main gate.

Mum ignored me. She knew how much I hated being ignored and yet she gladly gave me the cold shoulder wherever I really needed her to admit that she was wrong.

"Am talking to you mum" I insisted.

"And I have nothing to say to you if you think he will ever man up and get back on his feet"

"He is still my husband"

She scoffed.

"On paper, why are you both under my roof?”

There was no confidence to answer that one. All of it was happening because I did not listen to her in the first place. She warned me against marrying anyone with no solid background of effluence yet I wanted to do something different. Unlike her who found dad when he had everything I decided to build something with Blake. Everything happened so fast. His electronics retail business was doing great and I might have bragged to my mum on how wrong she was about him. We got married and we were actually planning to have kids then the unexpected happened. A street gang war erupted, others were blaming the mafia and the political class. A number of shops were targeted including ours. They were mercilessly razed down to ashes, others were looted and stock worth millions destroyed.

"Where is the chatty Tessa?" Mum mocked, "divorce him and marry someone else, Gideon is good for you"

The foresaid was my childhood boyfriend. Mum brought him up because he was rich as Croesus with no wife. He was also a tech nerd and his family was among the richest in fort canon city.

"I don't like the way he snorts like a pig" I gave a lame excuse.

"You’re better off with a pig with money than Blake with nothing"

"You don't understand mum" I said slagging behind. I stopped supporting my hands on my knees. The guards also reduced their pace and Tom offered me a bottle of cold water.

Mum walked back for a bottle too.

"There is nothing to understand here dear, you don't love him anymore. You were just using him to prove a point to me and you failed terribly there is nothing wrong with that"

"Nothing wrong with what?" I asked picking up the pace, mum was on my shoulder.

"Losing to your mother, you should be proud you tried just say the word and I will get Gideon to take you, a colorful wedding, bright kids and they lived happily ever after will cease to be a mere dream to you"

"No" I said confidently.

"You need to get out of your father's house Tessa your ovaries are not going to be prolific for life you know"

"Mum am twenty five menopause is roughly a couple of decades away"

"That's my point twenty five and living in your father's house with a broke husband, I got married when I was eighteen"

"Times have changed, that was a long time ago at the dawn of civilization" I argued as we approached the second gate.

It was our finishing point where we did some yoga, had the girl talk and sometimes danced then ran or walked all the way back home. My family owned the entire piece of land, most of which was forest with hills and streams. With a good for nothing brother and a husband who had no idea about what he wanted in life I might as well have stayed at home waiting to inherit all that.

"Okay am just saying when you need my help just say it, if you can't because of Blake then I must have to convince Gerald to send him away. Haven't we done enough charity?"

"Don't do that mum he is doing just fine here, besides he has nowhere to go and no one to go to"

"It all comes down to a lazy contented pauper. He isn't doing fine dear, he can do better but anyway am just your antiquated mother, let's go back!" She said to the guards.

That came out as a joke until they started running back. The sun was starting to come out from behind the cloud it was hiding, its yellowish glints were giving the green surrounding a golden tinge. Beautiful to watch and bask in it.

"No yoga and dancing today?" I asked sauntering away after them.

Mum was mad at me. She was mad since I met Blake. He ruined my life and that morning I started to believe that my biggest flaw was getting married to him. Maybe it was time I changed that.

Chapter 2: Delusional Love Triangle
BlakeApart from Gerald’s yelling and reminder who was boss, I was also used to physical abuse. Mrs. Wallace's slaps but that morning it was the hardest she had ever slapped me. If I was keeping count correctly, it was her tenth slap on my right cheek since we met. I can't count how many times she sent a shoe flying at me or sometimes anything she was holding in her hands. She once threw a knife at me because I was staring at her lustfully. Well, she was right but it was not intentional, I thought she was Tessa whenever they decided to dress like teenagers it was hard to tell them apart without looking them in the face. But I blame the make-up.From the Manor I went back to my crib. There were only two things I could be doing at any time, if not working it was reading. That morning while trying to wash off the emotional damage caused by the feminine slap I grabbed a copy of my favorite novel. As much as I thought I was used to her slaps every time she did slap me and all the Wallace's

Chapter 3: Fired Guardian Angel
BlakeUntil the butler came to fetch me to help around in the compound I had no idea that Anita got fired moments after suffering a physical assault from Tessa. It was so sad that I was the reason she lost her job and there was nothing I could do to help her. Now every female worker was avoiding me like a plague. The weakness combined with anger that I felt in the matter was threatening to freeze my brain. There was no Wallace I could give my version of the story to. Even if I did there was a snowballs chance in hell it would have helped to overturn their decision. During the precious lunch break I decided to find Tessa, with her I stood a chance."You don't want rage from any of them right now" the butler said walking around the kitchen."Just tell her I want to talk she will understand, Tessa"He stopped to look at me. The butler was among the few nice people in the entire compound. I didn't know his name, we all referred to him as the butler and he always responded."They all are s

Chapter 4: Collateral damage
The butlerWhile going to Blake's crib I stumbled into the Boss angrily marching from the same direction. As the family butler I enjoyed some freedom around him thanks to our relationship that was almost brotherly that meant I was allowed to ask him questions, give my opinion and unsolicited advice sometimes. All of it because I was his eyes when he was not watching, his brain when he was not thinking and his ears when he was not listening. Running the family business and his estate was too much for him to handle alone. It wouldn't have been if Gabriel was not a crackpot and if he gave Blake a chance."Boss...""Piss off Clive am not in the mood" he said going past me.And yeah, he was the only one who called me by name. Occasionally when he was angry and we were alone. Blake met me halfway."You have the address?" He asked looking and sounding relaxed."Yes, what was that? Why was the boss...?”"It was nothing, please can I have her address?""I

Chapter 5: An oasis in a Desert
BlakeAs I ran back to the car I adjusted my collar and put on a smile hoping it was going to cover up the make-up of slaps that Mrs. Baker had just applied on my face. The butler was leaning on the car scrolling on his phone like a teenager. He raised his gaze when he saw me coming."That was fast" He said going round the car to the driver's side."You blared the horn I had to cut short the entire apology""That was me checking on you but anyway we need to get going, we have one final stop to make before we go to the agrovet" "Okay" I mumbled strapping in my seatbelt.The entire drive to the local shopping center was silent. The butler was busy on road overtaking and clicking his tongue whenever a random driver made a silly mistake. He would also use his hand to direct traffic. The fresh air brushing past my face and that overwhelming feeling of a heavy Burden on my heart being lifted, the country music from the car all of it were making it fun. At heart I

Chapter 6: Found A Gem
BlakeThe time I spend with the butler was worth the reprimand and a hurl of abuses that were waiting for us both. Surprisingly they came from Tessa. She reminded both of us who was paying our salaries, whose food we were eating and whose car we were enjoying. If we paid for oxygen she would have switched it off just to prove her point. Thank God it was and still is free. After a boring supper with the employees in the common room, which I took all alone since none of them wanted to share a table with me, I bade them good night-a few mumbled back the rest just glared at me as I walked out. On my way to my crib my phone beeped. Took one look at it and I smiled. A: Thank you for the money, I really pray that you get where you want to be. After in depth thinking I have identified a market gap and decided to open a grocery store. Thank you and good nightRegards, AnitaI found myself smiling. That was before I hit hard on the access gate coulomb, ev

Chapter 7: Master of illusion
BlakeAfter three climaxes for both of us as a result of sweaty untamed sex I sneaked out of Tessa's room. She was sound asleep when I left and from that moment I couldn't catch any sleep. I just lay on my bed feeling relaxed using my hands like a pillow as I waited for my alarm clock which was an hour away. There was a chance I was stunned from what had just happened, it had taken three months of dry spell and passing by a strip club to get me laid. Maybe I shouldn't have done that. I kept thinking, how I was going to satisfy my renewed libido. My life of celibacy had been boring but at least I was not horny all the time. Knowing Tessa so well, perhaps more than most of his family members, she was going to be very adamant to catch up with my demands. Tessa did most of the things on her own accord.When I checked on my clock again it was half an hour to my usual wake up time. There was a chance Gerald was not going to ruin my happiness that chilly morning only if I was

Chapter 8: Wrong About Everything
Tessa You remember when I said sex might have rekindled something that I thought was buried in the core of the earth? Maybe it hadn't he had just put his filthy hands on my father. That was unforgivable. That one I could tell he was guilty even before dad gave us the story. He was violent even though he had never laid his hands on me, Blake was a former street kid, synonymous with all kinds of violence and drug abuse. Something’s didn't just change and go away no matter how much we try to believe people, if they did it once they can do it again. That morning it occurred to me that I was wrong about everything.Wrong about buying a blender from his shop, about using it recklessly and going back in there again. I was totally wrong agreeing to go on that stupid date with him in his office and letting my heart decide for me. "What happened dad?" Mum was helping me take him upstairs. After that punch he needed rest and some first aid."It's nothing""What do you mea

Chapter 9: Beautiful Pain
TessaDespite The butler and my mum's warning I had set my mind on sneaking into Blake's crib to see him and make my disappointment clear. Before I went to the shower I checked on my dad in their room where he was seated with a newspaper at hand."How are you feeling dad?""Am doing great doctor" he teased, gave a hasty look at me and went back to reading, "Am fine kiddo if that's what you're here to ask""I can see that, am actually here to apologize" I said shyly playing with my fingers, the tone was also the right one. Apologetic.Dad realized I was setting the mood for opening up. He kept his newspaper away and gave me his full attention. "About what kiddo?" "I brought Blake in this house, what happened today and every awful things he has done are all my fault. But I want you to know dad, it's not easy to let him go" I paused and exhaled sharply.He was keen and attentive no interruption. His eyes were just fixed on me."My love for him is s

Chapter 10: Burying the hatchet
Bailey WallaceMy daughter Tessa. She never ceased to amaze me. Sometimes she made me wonder if she was really mine or I was drugged and forced to carry a surrogate for some other couple and they bailed on me. Gabriel was better off. Yes he drunk himself to confusion but my son would never let anything harm his family. I missed him."Where is she?" I asked."She was just here a few minutes ago" the butler said looking around as though she was probably hiding in the flowers."Find her, search Blake's room she must be there!" The butler"Okay mum""Don't okay me find her butler what do we pay you for if you can't keep an eye on my daughter?'That was rhetorical. I ran towards Blake's crib hoping Tessa was not there or else it would have been catastrophic for me. She wouldn't have hesitated to tell Blake about my earlier support of Bailey’s offence although I was compelled to say it. Upon getting there, said a little prayer and opened the door. She
