The next breath I took didn't seem to leave my body. Instead I felt the same air, hot, being forced down my mouth and nostrils. My brains were pounding in my head and my heart thudding in my rib cage, I could feel it in my back. Bright light from the window hit me in the eyes and when they opened, a white ceiling was above me I couldn't turn my head and the bleeping noise was making my ears ache. My surroundings were strange and unfamiliar."Blake?" A familiar feminine voice called out. With a heavy tongue almost choking me out it was hard to speak, "can you hear me? You're in hospital. Let me get the doctor""Wait" there came a mumble, or it sounded loud in my head because she left her seat but I was lucky to grab her arm. She turned around and I could see her well. Anita. In the flesh, not dead, weird."Let me fetch the doctor, stay here" she said in a smooth velvety private school voice. I coughed and cleared my throat, my tongue felt lighter and came the reRelated chapters
THE DESPISED SON-IN-LAW; Mafia Boss Heir Chapter 21: Divided Wallace's
The mood in the Wallace manor was officially forlorn. The employees who saw the three members of the Wallace family alight from the SUV could tell from their faces. Others thought that maybe Blake was dead. But if that was the case then they were expected to be celebrating. Though married to their daughter they seemed to bask in the glow of his suffering. Enjoying every moment of it. Their bad mood could only be related to one thing. The visit to the police station."Someone get me a glass of water!" Gerald roared getting in the living room, he was mumbling inaudibly spitting and cursing.Gabriel went upstairs and Bailey took the seat opposite to where Gerald was seated with his arms spread on the arm rest, his head tilted back and his eyes shut. He was not having the best of days."What are we going to do about this Gerald, talk to me? Your silence is killing me" Bailey said."I don't know. Your idiot of a son is the reason were in this mess I don't know why you had

AnitaLike a mad bull, I angrily walked out of the hunt memorial hospital. Angry not because of Tessa's disrespect but because of Blake's blindness. However said love is blind had experienced it. Why couldn't he see past his nose and dick? Tessa was nothing like Blake. He was sweet and kind, gentle and friendly, smart, caring, humorous with a vibe like no other but she was just pure arrogant, disrespectful and annoying. Only physics could explain why they were together. Unlike poles attract.Enough of that. Before almost stumbling into the butler that busy evening, for the first time since we met with Blake, I asked myself that question that was a landmine waiting to explode, the one I had been avoiding. Why? Why was I doing all that?"Slow down there, you don't look well" The butler said slowing me down."Sorry, I have to go. My plan was to sleep over and watch him. I even asked the guy who brought me in the morning to leave now he has the love of his life and

TessaDad was enjoying keeping mum and I curious. Since he pointed out he had a plan, ten minutes later he had not told us anything and we were almost emptying out glasses of the delicious Mango juice. None of us however seemed to be in a hurry to ask what the plan was. As long as he was punishing Gabriel I was happy and content."So, mum what happened to you?" I asked to end the long awkward silence. I could see a bandage on her forehead, similar to the one dad had a couple of days back and since Blake was not around who could have done that to my living hypocritical mother?"It's not like you care" she said and looked away twitching her mouth muscles. Something she did to show disdain. Now that was the version of my mother I was familiar with. Funny how the peace we made lasted for hours and it was not hard to tell who between us was pretending."I wouldn't ask if I didnt care""Let's just say your mother is ashamed to tell you Tessa" Dad joined in the conversa

BlakeThe powerful rays of the morning sun penetrated through the white curtains covering the large hunt memorial hospital window. A cold breeze of fresh air filled the room, with my eyes shut I inhaled a lungful of fresh air and exhaled lazily spreading my arms and yawning loudly. My body was still aching but I felt great like I could make a step or two. That was good progress. "Good morning handsome, how are you feeling today" Anita said standing by the door.She really startled me to the brink of jumping out of my own skin. She looked beautiful in a white flowery Bodycon dress slightly above her knee caps. Her hair was tied into two pigtails, a warm smile on her face and a spark in her almond shaped eyes. Her well shaved legs were protected in two black doll shoes. She looked beautiful walking towards me and my mind put it all in slow motion. In her hands a tray."Good morning, you didn't go home? Where did you sleep?""Don't worry about me" she said and plac

BlakeThe butler was driving Mr. and Mrs. Wallace in their Royce, for the first time in a long time Tessa and I were seated behind an SUV holding hands on our journey home. It felt really good to be open close to her again. Sadly it took me being beaten like a thief and shot in frail gut by her lunatic brother for that to happen. I was seated quietly looking through the window. Everything was not back to normal yet so there was not much to talk about.My body was safe around her. Thanks to the hormones but my mind was not. It was still stuck to the employer- employee relationship. Her barking orders and me executing them and also...her watching me get mistreated by her family. Being fed lies and taking their word for it instead of trusting me her lover. Too much for love is built on trust."You're so quiet what are you looking at?""Nothing much, just Nature. You know I spend a lot of time in the manor, rarely walk out here...""You're making me feel guilty now b

The Wallace dining room was a piece of art. The floor was decorated with beautiful tiles. It had a sink and a mirror behind Gerald's chair at the head of the table. A set of lantern wall lamps hanging on the wall all round it and a huge beautiful minka lavery chandelier above the white ceiling emanating a faint yellow light that gave the entire place a golden touch. A long vanished table was surrounded with a dozen vanished dining chairs of great quality with rubber stoppers under them such that they made very little noise when pulled back. It really brought that appetite also.You could tell it was a feast with the kind of food that was being served. Two bottles of red dinner wine with a tray of glasses, a bowl of autumn royal grapes, sliced mixed fruits, sushi and roasted ribs, Chicken, plain rice, salad...all those foods were giving out a mixture of aromas that would confuse ones appetite. After everything was set to the required standards, the butler did the honors.But

AnitaDays after that magical kiss, I was still having mixed feelings about Blake. Wallowing in the mud of confusion caused by one simple kiss. An exchange of saliva. And it got me wondering how sex with him would feel like and what it was going to lead to. Blake had taken my mind hostage even without wanting to I found myself involuntarily thinking of him.One thing however was for sure. Blake was never going to be mine. He was so deep in Tessa's shackles and perhaps that kiss was just a mistake, he felt nothing for me. To him I was just a friend and he was forever going to treat me like one. Not bad, sometimes we need friends in our lives.But then again there was the audacity to dare hope for a future with him. When he woke up I was the first person he saw and he kept asking for Jordan. A son he claimed was ours. It was just a dream, and he was waking up from a coma but I took it as a consolation during that period of confusion that perhaps the impossible dream was on

In one of the few operating high end hospitals in the western side of the fort canon city suburbs. A dozen SUVs were parked. Huge men in black suits wearing wireless communication devices in their ears were standing all the way from the gate to the reception and the door of a VIP ward. It was obvious someone so rich was sick.Don Leon, the head of the Red Crescent Mafia group, the largest, dangerous and richest of all mafia groups in the entire country was lying in an adjustable patients bed breathing heavily with his eyes shut. A quick glance at their job description; causing war and havoc was on top of that list, kidnapping for ransom, murder for hire and they were good at making it look like an accident, if you wanted your competitors shop to blow up, espionage, if you wanted someone to disappear and never be seen again that was their expertise among others. It was even rumored that they were responsible for the war after election that was going on. Just a rumor that no one w

THE DESPISED SON-IN-LAW; Mafia Boss Heir Chapter 95: Tables Turn
BlakeIt was another beautiful morning at the Red crescent manor. In my silk robes with a cup of coffee I was standing at the balcony, watching over my family estates, employees moving from one direction to another going on with their duties, their children happily playing in the field waiting for school time. Mum and Lilian had dedicated much of their time to doing that, teaching and donating foodstuffs, rescuing colts from dangerous gangs. It was the good I could do.After messing up the first time when God showered me with blessings I wasn't going to repeat the same mistake. This time I was going to use my influence to make sure that nature wasn't going to raise another Blake. No kid was going to be a pauper and mistreated under my watch and what better way to start doing that than in my own home? Anita and her sister Beatrice helped with the teaching, her younger brother James was there too among the students. My family had become big when her sister and brother moved in. Her moth
THE DESPISED SON-IN-LAW; Mafia Boss Heir Chapter 94: At his mercy
Within two weeks, Gerald Wallace had lost the trust of his family, his friends and all his lands he acquired illegally. Beginning with the one in the outskirts of the war tone city, that used to be a children's home that he mercilessly grabbed and sent the kids to the streets. Fate was back to bite him in the ass because one of the kids he threw on the streets was Blake. He reclaimed the land using the manpower he had, a new building was being erected as the war continued. No one dared stand in his way days after he left a trail of bodies when he visited a rival mafia gang that for long had perfected the unholy act of human trafficking. As a result, all the other gangs that were doing illegal businesses were keeping their heads down and others were now even reaching out to be friends. And once again, the red crescent Mafia family was on everyone's radar and the name Blake send shivers down the spines of those who didn't not stand for what he believed. In a matter of days, he had acquir

BlakeTheir eyes almost popped out of their sockets when I got up with the gun at hand. Their guards rushed to the scene but they were just a handful of them. Forming a barrier between me and their bosses. It felt good to taunt them, but I had no intention of killing any of them I just wanted to see the family suffer and not feel safe, feel like everything they had could be taken from them anytime, feel afraid like I used to every time Bailey called out my name or when she slapped the taste out of my mouth."Let's see, you're ten and I have fourteen armed another three dozen just waiting for my call, plus myself and Carlos and Johnson we're seventeen bad asses here right now""What about me?" Anita asked feigning disappointment. She knew how to taunt people, our common goal, to make Gerald pay. She wanted him dead more than I did."You'll sit back and watch me slaughter all these bastards, then I'll bring you the head of the man who had your father killed"Now that was one way to send
THE DESPISED SON-IN-LAW; Mafia Boss Heir Chapter 92: Prodigal son?
A couple of days after Anita's controversial visit peace and cohesion had not been a regular visitor at the Wallace manor. It all started with Gideon and Tessa, that same day over dinner Gideon seemed to be in a foul mood, he avoided conversations and when Tessa became too inquisitive he blew up in anger. Asked for some air, got in his car and drove out of the compound. That was new, but there was something he wasn't telling them and they were yet to find out, too late though and the one carrying that news was a not so welcoming person.Anyway, Gideon left Tessa under a cloud of sadness that no one seemed to have a solution to and perhaps that was because each of them had problems of their own. Bailey had to divide her attention and look out for her family or watch them perish. Gerald had lost his smile and control of the home. He spent most of his time drinking in his office and conversing with the butler, Tessa was in her room doing whatever it was she was doing and Gabriel. He was

Anita was seated in the most hostile of environments she had ever been. All the Wallace's including the new one who was glued to Gabriel like a monkey on a tree were glaring through her and ironically it was only Gerald who seemed to want her there, he was the calm and relaxed, patient as Anita took her time to taunt them with her silence and tension. The problem is she didn't care much about Gerald's show of concern and mercy. I was all fake, had she known why he was too nice to offer her a job in the first place she wouldn't have taken it. He was a murderer and thank God he had no idea what was coming.Those couple of minutes she sat there, dozens of ways she could have strangled him to death had crossed her mind. It was surely taking every ounce of self-control for her not to jump on him and try it."Are you going to keep us waiting forever. Unlike you we have some things to do" Tessa was not a fan of waiting."Okay, I'll go straight to the point. Blake sends his rega

At eight in the evening, everyone in the Red crescent manor was gathered at the ceremonial grounds. Circular in shape with seats made of mortar almost like an ancient Roman arena, there was a podium decorate with high end seats where the elders and the family priest sat. No one from the family had arrived yet and there was confusion everywhere with rumors circulating among the employees."I think we're being sent packing, I don't even know where to start from my whole life is in this beautiful place" one said sounding disturbed."Who said we're being send packing?" Asked another."It's just a rumor. We don't have proof" argued someone from behind, they were all whispering as though it was a crime to talk. But generally, it was all quiet and the whole place was lit up with traditional lamps."Something else we don't have is a leader and we're going to be scattered all over"The banter would have continued were it not for the sight of the r

One Week laterIt's said that, you never know when your time will come, we all hope he'll delay. So, what are you doing with the little time you have left on this vast ticking time bomb called earth? Have you Imagined how you want your Eulogy to look like? Most of us haven't. The brutal angel of death paid the Red crescent Mafia family a visit again. It was Saturday afternoon, a gloomy day for real even the weather could attest, the sun was too afraid to come out, hidden behind the dark clouds and the rain was now ruling, beating the ground into a wet submission, all the family members were dressed in black with the servants holding umbrellas for them leaning on each other's shoulders their eyes bloodshot from prolonged crying. After an all-inclusive funeral service with the few invited guests and the world at large it was the turn of close family Members to say goodbye to one of their own, one last walk to the grave for a fabric that had woven them together, a pillar that had

The whole family swarmed in on Blake as they carefully forced him out of the venue without causing much alarm, the crowd was already alarmed but those who knew Wallace and his family so we were both surprised. What was a Wallace party without some drama?"I just want to talk to Tessa then we can see if this joke of a party goes on""You don't get to insult me" Growled Gideon, he even wanted to punch him lights out but Gabriel held his hand. No one was really in the mood for violence that day for Christ sake they were dressed to party and have fun, dance, drink and those who could even have sex!"Calm down Gideon" Bailey said rather politely, "what do you want?""To talk to Tessa nothing else""Okay go ahead, but not here and we're not leaving her sight for as much as I care you might have goons out there planning to take her" that was the condition and it was good for him to have an audience so that they could all hear him convince her to be his again.Funny

BlakeAfter a sleepless night of tossing on my bed, wishing morning would come and the doctor would do the checkup, allow me to go home and see the love of my life...it finally came and the energy in the air was stupendous, the birds singing and the whistling of the wind, my own heartbeat and some beeping of machines all connected to make a perfect rhythm. I lay in my bed my arms tucked, staring blankly in the white ceiling, a smile cracked on my face, mother nature had been kind to me and the supreme being had given us another chance to suffer, love, regret and make our stay on this borrowed planet worthwhile.That morning like all days I closed my eyes."Father lord, thank for another day in my life. A few days back I was in a comma beaten to a pulp but you turned my enemies into my friends and now the protect me. Father, today I don't want to stress you with much, please see me through the day and give me back the love of my life, you know her more than I do and you h
