DAMON POV
When Cynthia walked upstairs, Damon’s eyes trailed her until he saw her enter her room then he smiled softly before turning to his son in-law.
“He is rich and asking for help from him won’t be a bad idea now that I have used up almost all my savings. I need more money to make sure Fredrick and his family die and I know Unite won’t refuse me but if Cynthia was here, she will definitely talk him out of it that why I sent her away” Damon thought inwardly until Unite’s voice jolted him back to reality
“What is it you wanted to say?” Unite asked paying rapt attention to his father in-law
“You see Unite your father-in-law is in need of money”
“Money? don’t you have your own money?” Unite asked Damon astonished
“My evil nephew made us go bankrupt and he planned to kill me and my son so I need to make him pay but I have no money” Damon said pretending to be sad but Unite laughed
“You’ve got to be kidding me now”
“Do I look like someone who is joking?” Damon asked getting upset already
“Were you not the one who attempted to kill your nephew’s fiancée?” Unite asked unexpectedly and Damon chuckled
“Charity told you that right? that bitch is just as bitchy as her mother”
“Yes” My wife told me everything Unite said to Damon
“Don’t mind that daughter of mine. She has always been obsessed with her cousin and she always turned a blind eye to his evil doing. I love my nephew but he hates me and he wants to kill me, so I have no choice rather than kill him before he does” Damon said hoping he sounded convincing enough
“I’m sorry but I can’t fund you in doing evil and I’m with my wife on this one. I’ve met your nephew once before I married your daughter and he doesn’t look like someone who would do evil unless you push him to do so. In my opinion, I think you are the one after him and not the other way round especially after what you did to his fiancée. I heard he doesn’t joke with that lady so it’s expected that he will surely come after you. I would do same if anyone does that to my wife” United said to Damon who had a shocked expression
“Like you are not evil, I heard you beat up my daughter” Damon said hoping to blackmail Unite
“That was in the past at least but I don’t hit her anymore because I love her” Unite yelled obviously getting angry already
“You should be thankful to me for giving my daughter out to you. Remember the two women you married previously ran away but you should be thankful enough that my daughter decided to stay with a man like you because no woman will” Damon yelled but he saw his fist tighten then he became a bit afraid
“You should be lucky your daughter already told me to control my anger or else I would have dug your grave right here”
“You think if your mother hadn’t pleaded with me to let you marry my daughter I would have allowed you? Now watch me take my daughter back” Damon threatened by he was rudely interrupted
“You do no such thing dad” Unite heard his wife said as she walked down the stairs.
“Why not baby? can’t you see you married a psychopath who seriously is in needs to be put in an asylum”
“That’s it, you’ve said too much already old man” Unite said and before Charity would say Jack Robinson her husband rushed to her father and reigned several blows on his face while he groaned in pain trying to fight back but it was effortless and
Austin already ran to his room,
“I have a coward as a son. He couldn’t even join me in beating his brother in-law” Damon muttered inwardly amidst pain
“Darling it’s okay. He’s still my father” Charity said as she separated the both of them but Damon took the chance to punch his face but it felt like he did nothing because he didn’t react at all.
“Is this guy a wrestler or something? You will pay for this Unite” Damon said as he touched his already swollen face
“Stop it all of you. Dad I wouldn’t have you insult my husband that way and darling it’s wrong to hit my father” Charity cautioned them
“But he called me a psychopath” Unite defended
“And you showed him you’re one by hitting him. You promised me you would control your anger but I’m so mad at you right now” Charity said and Damon thought he was going to hit her but instead he apologized.
“Baby, I’m sorry” Unite said as he wrapped his hands around her waist and kissed her neck.
“I’m not forgiving you” Charity frowned but he tickled her and she laughed.
“Traitors” Damon cursed inwardly
“Fine, promise me you won’t do it again” Charity
“I promise” he pouted and she giggled.
“Dad you should refrain from calling my husband names because I won’t take it from you” Cynthia warned her father
“I brought you to this world Cynthia and you choose him over me just look at what he did to me” Damon said hoping to gain her sympathy
“And he’s the one I’m spending the rest of my life with and not you so I will always choose him over you dad” Charity said to the amazement of her father
“Someone who can’t even get you pregnant, for God’s sake you’ve been married for three years now but yet nothing to show for it. Your husband is impotent” Damon said and Unite’s fist tightened in anger again but Charity was trying to pacify his anger.
“Who told you that my husband is impotent? and for your information dad, I’m pregnant” Charity dropped the bombshell
“You are?” Unite asked surprised.
“I am baby remember how I felt unwell some days ago, I did the test just now in my room and it came out positive. It was supposed to be a surprise but you spoiled it already” Charity said as she brought out the pregnancy test kit from her bag which read two red lines.
“But you saw your period last month” Unite asked in surprise
“Yeah but not this month. My period is supposed to start today but I guess I missed it” Charity said to him and he exclaimed in happiness
“You are pregnant, oh my God finally” Unite said and they hugged each other but Damon groaned at his aching face.
“Come on, we need to go to the hospital to do a proper pregnancy test” Unite suggested to Charity and she acceptedCopyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
“OK, let’s go” Charity said to her husband
“Who knows if he’s the owner of the child?” Damon said angrily
“Ignore him and let’s go baby”
“Yeah, sure” they both walked out of the sitting room.
“Dad, have they gone?” Austin asked coming out of his hiding place
“You coward, you abandoned me when I needed you the most” Damon yelled at him but he hissed
“Dad I was busy giving you signs but you didn’t see any of them. No one asked you to talk recklessly and I really cannot receive another person’s beating”..
“Dad, should I get you hot water to you know, to massage your face” Austin asked his father
“Are you mocking me? get out of my sight you coward” Damon barked angrily
“Sorry I’m leaving now”
“Bastard” You just added yourself to the list Unite and I’ll ensure you pay for this humiliation. Killing you won’t be a bad idea” Damon muttered as he put a call across to one of his assassins.
“Unite must die today” Damon said angrily
“Hello Boss”
“Rambo, I have a job for you”
“Okay, who do you want me to kill this time?”
“Unite Handel and I will send you his picture right now” Damon said and he sent the picture to him immediately.
“This guy is a handsome man but why dou want to just waste him like that” Rambo asked Damon
“How those that concern me, just name your price”
“One million naira”
“Done, I’ll transfer half of the money to your account now then ensure you carry out a smooth job”
“Sure boss give us his location”
“He is likely to be at St David’s Hospital but don’t touch the woman beside him because she is my daughter” Damon warned sternly
“Consider it done” Rambo said and with a smile in Damon’s face, he ended the call and quickly transferred half of the money to his account.
“Dad, who was that?” Austin asked his father after the phone conversation
“None of your business. Go get me a first aid box with cold compress and be fast about it”
“Of course, it’s my business. Who was that?” he crossed his arms and stared at me.
“Austin get me a cold compress now you coward of a son”
“I didn’t want what happened before to repeat itself because I did have an encounter with that guy before and I got seriously beaten. Remember the day I came back home with a swollen face when I was nineteen, that motherfucker did that to me” Austin said to Damon and he freezed.
“He did that to you?”
“Yeah, I hit his car when I was over speeding. I was supposed to apologize but I didn’t, instead I was busy ranting and insulting him so I got beaten”
“Too bad, he won’t be alive to beat people anymore” Damon muttered.
“What? Dad are planning on killing him and was that the hitman you just contacted?” Austin asked his father
“Yes, you should be lucky, I’m taking revenge for the both of us”
“No, no, no, Dad. Cynthia is pregnant and killing him will mean making her a widow at a young age and making her unborn child fatherless”
“Like, I care. She’s better off without him anyways. Who beats up their father-in-law?”
“No dad. You can’t do this, think about how Cynthia will feel?”
“Since when did you care about Cynthia I thought you hated her”
“I don’t really like her though and her husband but for the sake of her unborn child, please don’t kill her husband. The child is innocent”
“You are getting soft Austin and I hate it. I need to toughen you up a little so don’t think of betraying me because of your useless sister or else I will forget that you are my son and kill you so be warned” Damon threatened
“Dad, how can you say such a thing?”
“I have two useless children from two useless mothers”
“Dad, leave my mom out of this” Austin warned his father angrily
“To hell with you and your useless bitchy mother. Now go get me what I asked you to” Damon said but Austin stared at him with disdain and walked into the kitchen.
“Don’t try to doublecross me Austin, I was serious about killing you”
