After 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 wasRelated chapters
THE DESPISED SON-IN-LAW; Mafia Boss Heir 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

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

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

Blake"Am sorry...”"Stay still and stop apologizing" she said applying a cream on bruised face, "I don't take any of them serious, tell me though. Did you beat up Gerald?""No I didn't. He tried to invoke me into a fight and when I avoided it he found a way to make me the bad guy""That sounds like it, and this bruises?""His guards" "Am sorry, can you seat up?" She asked trying to help.I nodded as she supported my back with a pillow and folded blankets and sheets. She then went back to her bag of supplies and brought back a tin of rice and yellow beans with a spoon and a bottle of water. She also had a mango. Seated on the edge of my creaky bed she fed me. Once in a while giving me water and wiping my mouth with a towel. "How long will this go on?" She asked.She might have read my mind. The same question was making me go nuts. I would have stayed motivated if I knew how long Tessa and her family were going to treat me like trash. But I didn'

BlakeBy midafternoon I was feeling a little better. Got out to bask in the sun and stretch a bit. My body was still aching but still lying on my back was not going to help. For the first time since moving in the Wallace manor it was the opportune time to take the big trip, just walk around the forest and the lake free my mind that was bottled in a constant battle of superiority between Anita and Tessa. Freedom and love constantly outweighing each other on a scale.Love, or just the feeling of it, was a funny thing to me. It usually got me in the most awkward of situations. First with Tessa yelling at me for selling her a broken blender then Anita was coming in when I had just possibly ruined her life and got her fired.She was everything a man would ask for. Am talking about Anita. She was the first non-wallace I interacted with and she did not treat me like the other employees did. With fear and a lot of feigned respect. She would speak whatever that was on her mi

TessaHome was boring as expected or maybe my mood swings were at it again. The weather was radiant, the air was fresh and my life was on track. I had every reason to be happy. I led the way inside the house without talking to anyone. Behind me was mum with her favorite kid, my brother Gabriel.This had nothing to do with jealousy, my entire life I never craved to be closer to mum more than we already were. But it was not a secret she had a soft spot for him."My favorite person come on Tessa give daddy a hug" There he was, my favorite person too, a spot that used to be Blake's but I was not feeling it anymore."Good evening dad" "You look gloomy, you want those wrinkles on your pretty face kiddo?""No daddy" I said forcing a smile.He always used the wrinkles thing to scare me into being happy. That was a long time ago when I was a kid it still worked though."There you go and look who we have here" "Dad, am so sorry...""Shut up

BlakeLying on my bed, my hands behind my back, staring blankly in the ceiling. Not a ceiling really, the ridges of the rusty iron sheets. My mind was roaming far away from my body that had not moved since laying there thirty minutes back. My own mind had turned against me and my heart was throbbing, out of anger and confusion, fear and regrets. The most dominant person on my mind being Gerald Wallace. He had crossed a line making me feel like a looser. Even if we got things back to where they were with Tessa there was a snowballs chance in hell I was going to forgive him. Not without giving him a taste of his own medicine.Never before had my soul been overwhelmed by vengeance. I was thinking of every possible way to get my Revenge on him. And my weapon of choice was success. Not a gun or asking guards to beat him up no. He was the father of my lovely wife, family in that case but I wanted him to know that betting against Blake was a wrong move. From a distan

TessaHis lifeless body in my arms was one of the things I never wished to see. Yes I didn't like him not working hard dot improve his miserable life but he was human and Gabriel was wrong. Shooting him was totally unacceptable, something I wouldn’t have wished even for my worst enemy."Quick get the car and take him to hospital!" Shouted dad.The butler rushed to the parking lot while Gabriel was smiling with mockery looking at us his guns still at hand. He looked unhinged as though he had just not shot an already wounded man in cold blood."What have you done?" Mum asked angrily, it was good to see that despite her soft spot for Gabriel he also saw fault in what his favorite son did."What needed to be done" He said rudely. "You don't shoot people in this compound again you hear me?" Screamed mum.His head was now hang in Shame. Whenever he raised is head he kept looking at dad for mercy but he had none in his eyes.

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

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
