My Father In-Law Belongs To Me 001 - Betrayed
MAEVEI hurried back home from work after grabbing my test results from the hospital. I was excited to break the news about my pregnancy to my husband. I’d heard countless times from Thayer, my husband, about how he wanted to have kids, and I was so proud and excited to be finally fulfilling that desire of his.I’ve never had it easy with love. I was born chubby and was forced to endure relentless mockery from peers and even my family while growing up. I was called all sorts of names: overweight, fat, chubby, shark, and other painful names that forced me into hiding. No one wanted to associate with me, let alone fall in love with me.I tried various methods to lose weight; I went on diets, practiced yoga, and even engaged in morning exercise routines, but instead, it felt like I was gaining more weight.For the twenty-two years I’ve lived, I desperately wanted to experience romantic love, as I was also a human with feelings. Then Thayer came. He confessed his love for me despite my si

MAEVEI woke up feeling a bit groggy and weak. Slowly, my eyes adjusted to the dim light in the room, enough for me to see where I was.I was in a neatly furnished room with a luxurious setting. Confused, I wondered how I ended up here.Memories of almost getting hit by a car while running far away from Thayer flooded into my mind. Instantly, the tears came flooding back again, clenching my heart as I remembered his harsh words. I thought he married me for love, but it turned out he did it out of pity.What pain and hurt are worse than that?My mind went back to finding out where I was and what I was doing here. I hoped Thayer was not involved in this. At this point, I never wanted to have anything to do with him ever again. He hurt me beyond words. He killed the rest of my self-esteem, and I wondered if I would ever be accepted again. Not only did he call me chubby, but he also called me the worst thing that has ever happened to him—a mistake!I got up from the bed and glanced out fr

MAEVEI woke up again with a dull ache in my head. I noticed that I was lying perfectly on the bed and that the dress I was wearing was not the same one from the other night. I didn’t remember laying on the bed last night, nor did I change my clothes from the night before.I was a bit concerned, as I was sure whoever had changed my dress while I was sleeping must have seen my naked form.Could it be my father-in-law? My heart skipped a beat at the thought. He wouldn’t do that.But that was the least of my worries, because as I tried to sit up, I noticed someone standing far away from me, very close to the door, with arms crossed.I took a deep breath and slowly looked up to find the unsmiling face of Thayer staring down at me, with so much disgust evident in his facial features that I became self-conscious again.He was dressed in a light blue polo over dark jeans—the pair I bought for him just a few weeks ago. It hurt seeing him in that outfit, and I instantly regretted getting those

XANDERI had blurted out those words before I even processed them. The idea had been to think this through with Maeve and know if it would sit right with her, but seeing Thayer talk down on her, and hurt her like that, I couldn’t think straight anymore.She was incredibly beautiful. Her red hair perfectly matched her sea-green eyes, and her skin was glossy. Every part of her facial features were perfectly placed to enhance her full cheeks. From the few months I’d known her as my daughter-in-law, I’d gotten to know how kind and soft-hearted she was in contrast to my son, Thayer.The night I picked her, she looked a bit unkempt, with her hair in a mess, old clothes, and shoes. It was obvious Thayer was not taking proper care of her. All she needed was a little support to take care of herself, something Thayer was capable of providing yet didn’t.Watching her cry on my chest last night broke my heart and made my throat dry. She must have gone through a lot, and I just couldn’t believe m

MAEVEI was not expecting Xander’s reaction to Thayer’s insults just now, but his apology afterward was something I didn’t want to hear. I know he did it to make me feel better, but now I feel worse.Just a few minutes ago, I actually thought he had a thing for me, but he was really doing it for his son. I didn’t want to think about it too much, so I demanded to be left alone. I needed to think things through. Hot tears raced down my cheeks as I considered what would be best to do in this situation.I wanted to disappear and never see Thayer again, but I had nowhere to go. My parents were both dead, I didn’t want to face the insults of my step-sister and stepmother, and I didn’t want to get anywhere near crowded places. I just wanted to be locked up somewhere in this house, away from the eyes of the whole world.It was painful to come to this decision, but I decided to play along with Xander’s plan. I needed to teach Thayer a lesson, and to do that, I was going to become his stepmothe

THAYERI couldn’t believe my father would want to settle with my ex-wife! I had always thought of him as great, looking up to him. But after he chose to marry my ex-wife, I realized he was nothing after all. Even after my mother left us fifteen years ago, he made no attempt to look for her. I was sure that if he had, my mother would have been here with us. Instead, to save face, he told me they were divorced when I actually knew he sent her packing!Why would my father marry a chubby, smelly piece of shit like Maeve? The thought infuriated me beyond words. Not only that, he succeeded in giving Maeve the right to talk back to me and even slap me! The nerve! She’s in for trouble—real trouble. I wanted to choke her to death, but father had to burst in before I could!Have you even seen her? She’s disgusting! She pales in comparison to my mother, which is the main reason I don’t understand what my father sees in her.I heard my friends, Jake and Leon, chuckle behind me as I watched my fat

MAEVE “Look, Maeve, I don’t want it to seem like I’m forcing you to do my bidding,” Xander explained as he steered the car down the road. “Are you sure about this?”Sure about what? I turned to him. “Yes, I’m sure. No one is forcing me to do anything. Besides, I’m not doing it for Thayer; I’m doing it for myself. Someone has to teach him a lesson and it has to be me,” I answered, starting to bite my fingernails. It was something I usually did whenever I was tense. This time, I was especially tense about being my father-in-law’s fiancée.For someone like him, a public figure in Chicago, what would people see me as? A gold digger? A thief? This might bring more humiliation and hatred from people all over the world.“What’s wrong? Are you okay?” Xander suddenly asked; he must have noticed my anxiety.“No, I’m fine. It’s nothing.” I looked out the window, hoping this wouldn’t bring in more trouble.The car pulled up in front of Xander’s mansion. I would never have dreamed that I would ge

THAYERI can’t believe I imagined having my own mother in bed! I was too shocked to even react to what I’d thought earlier. But seeing her right now, in my house after fifteen years, was the most unbelievable event.“May I?” she asked, signaling that she wanted to come in. I stepped aside and let her in. She entered and stood face to face with Loretta, who was still in her underwear, not even willing to leave!Mum turned to me, disbelief clearly etched on her face. “You know, I never would have thought that you would think of playing around now that you are about to lose everything.”Losing everything? I knew she was referring to Loretta. However, I was both angry and excited to see her now. She turned back to Loretta, and I could feel her expression must have changed, given the way Loretta shook.“Who the hell is she? She’s the one you want to replace me with?” Loretta blurted. Hadn’t she heard me call her 'Mum,' or was she intentionally poking at me now? “Thayer, I told you I wasn’t

MAEVEXander pulled out a velvet box from his pocket and flashed it in my face, a radiant smile lighting up his features. I laughed as I realized what would be inside that box. “Don’t tell me you carry the ring around?”“Yes, I take it with me everywhere I go… since the first day I proposed. I’ve been waiting for the perfect moment to place it on your finger,” he replied, gently taking my left hand and brushing a tender kiss against it. “I should do this properly,” he said with a soft laugh, getting down on one knee beside me at the foot of the bed while I sat up, my heart racing.“Will you marry me?” he asked again, his voice filled with hope.“Yes!” I beamed, watching as he slipped the exquisite ring from the velvet box onto my finger.“Thank you,” he looked grateful like I’d done him a favor. His soothing voice warmed my heart, accompanied by a gentle hug from him that enveloped me in comfort.When we broke the embrace, I finally gazed at the ring. It featured a platinum band adorn
My Father In-Law Belongs To Me 019 - Will you marry me?
MAEVEI had been angry and jealous, watching the way Xander’s wife touched him back at the gallery. Insecurity and overwhelm had begun to creep in, overshadowing the heavy ache that seized my lower abdomen.I wanted to run away, to disappear as the curator tarnished my image. I wanted to hide and cry after I concluded I was about to lose Xander. But the moment I tried to move, my head spun, and a sharp pain gripped my body, causing my legs to give way as I collapsed to the floor.What happened next felt alien until I woke up in a hospital with Xander by my side. Seeing him immediately brought back memories of his encounter with his wife. He had never told me he was still married. Why did he put me in the limelight through this fake relationship? To ridicule me? Was that all men liked to do to women who weren’t attractive enough—ridicule them by pretending to have something going for them?I was so mad at him that I didn’t speak, even when he showed me kindness. He made me look like a
My Father In-Law Belongs To Me 018 - I love her
XANDER “Respect?” Nora echoed, her lips curled in disgust. “She lost all respect in my eyes the day she agreed to marry Thayer. I wanted my son to marry the daughter of a rich realtor who would build your business more across America. I never expected he would end up with an orphan whose late mother was nothing but a whore, my sworn enemy!” I never knew Nora had this much venom in her voice.Yes, she always hated Lilian, Maeve’s mother, because she dated her college crush instead of her. When Edgar, her crush, died in an accident, she blamed it all on Lilian for breaking his heart.“I’ve worked with her at the gallery, and I know she’s the gold-digging type. She can make you sign off all your investments to her. She almost made us lose all our customers at the gallery; that’s why I had to get the director to fire her…”“Fire her?!” I repeated, shocked. “She was fired today?” I was so annoyed I almost jumped on Nora. “Who the fuck fired her?” My fists clenched at my sides as I struggl
My Father In-Law Belongs To Me 017 - Miscarriage
XANDER“I’m sorry; she had a miscarriage. The embryo’s development was disrupted due to dehydration, a reduction in blood volume, and the mother’s stress. But thankfully, the mother’s health is okay. She just needs to rest and get IV transfusions; she will be back on her feet,” the doctor had said, patting my shoulder.I looked down at my hands—it was covered in blood from Maeve’s body from when I helped load her onto the stretcher that brought her to the hospital—and felt my chest tighten at the fact that I had touched my grandson, but only in blood. I left the tap running, too consumed in thought to place my hands under the water and wash off the blood.Now that the baby is gone and Maeve wants nothing to do with Thayer anymore, I should just let her go, right? But at the thought of that, I felt a hollow ache in my chest. It felt like I was trying to break off a certain part of me. I tried to convince myself to keep her close to comfort her over her loss, but deep down, I knew that
My Father In-Law Belongs To Me 016 - Ex-wife is back!
XANDERTwo tablets of aspirin couldn’t dull the splitting headache that had haunted me since the night before. Kissing Maeve… holding her… picturing the curve of her lips… and now I can’t think of anything but to see her again. The more I thought about it, the more my responsibility got in the way.As I sat in my office, waiting for a partner to finalize an investment deal, my thoughts drifted back to her and the complicated situation we found ourselves in. I had offered to help her reconcile with Thayer, but she had moved on from him completely. She had told me she was doing it for revenge, and not to get back with Thayer.I knew I needed to confront her about how long we would continue pretending to be in a relationship before things get out of hand. As I reflected on it, I realized I hadn’t even properly proposed, thanks to Thayer’s interference.The time for our meeting came and went, yet there was still no sign of my investor. I took a deep breath, trying to expel the heaviness i
My Father In-Law Belongs To Me 015 - Thayer's mother is dead...
MAEVE“Have you no shame?” the curator continued pouring the cold water over my head until the glass was empty, then she dropped it with a crash at my feet. I opened my eyes slowly; seeing her face through my wet lashes was difficult, but I blinked rapidly until I was able to see her properly.Although she was an older woman, she was extremely beautiful. Her dark eyes bore into me like sharp daggers as she continued. “You seduce and steal your father-in-law…”“Ex’s father-in-law,” I corrected. Thayer is my ex, for Christ’s sake!“The man you ruined! Are you really this selfish and greedy?!” the curator shouted, and the little crowd gathered around us fell into stunned silence. I could feel their eyes on me as more people moved closer. How I hate spectacles! I stood there with a sinking heart, watching my self-image being crushed.“You are the most shameless creature I’ve ever seen in this world! Running from son to father, and as if that wasn’t enough, you had the right to publicly pi
My Father In-Law Belongs To Me 014 - Accused
MAEVEKath stood there with a smile plastered on her face as if she saw nothing. She brought the lunch box in front of me, and I took it, wondering what was wrong with her this morning. “Thank you,” I managed to say as I turned to Xander, who looked like nothing had happened, too. Was I the only one affected?“It’s your day off, right, Kath?” he asked.“Yes, boss,” Kath bowed.“Then why are you here so early in the morning?” I could detect the irritation in his voice.“I wanted to help the new madam with her meals, that’s all. I’ll get going right away, sir,” she responded and quickly turned to leave.“Wait!” Xander called, and Kath turned. He sighed and turned to me. “Don’t worry about it. It’s your day off; I shouldn't make you work today.” He turned his gaze back to Kath. “Just be here early tomorrow morning and maybe get two more workers to help out around the house.”“But I can do it alone, sir. I’ve been happily working here alone,” Kath protested.“I know, and I appreciate your
My Father In-Law Belongs To Me 013 - Peeping into his room
MAEVEA knock jolted me awake from my sleep. I had fallen asleep in my dinner dress from last night while thinking of the possibility of another deeper, longer kiss from Xander. Slowly, I got out of bed, the sheets making ruffling sounds below me. I went to get the door.“Kath,” I said in a weak exhale. She was standing outside the door with a large smile on her face. “What are you doing here so early?” I asked.“Good morning, ma’am. Trust you had a wonderful night,” she beamed, and I wondered what was with the sudden excitement and the squeal that followed.“You look so excited this morning,” I pried.“Yes! It’s my day off.” She quickly grabbed some neatly wrapped clothes from the carrier she came with and handed them to me. “This is yours from that first night. Sorry, I didn’t tell you earlier. I changed your dress while you were asleep,” she explained, holding the packaged dress before me.I actually thought it was Xander who changed my dress—creepy of me to think he did. I almost
My Father In-Law Belongs To Me 012 - A kiss...
MAEVEI actually thought Xander had a thing for me, and I was looking forward to the day he would finally say it out loud; confess his feelings to me. Little did I know that I disgusted him too? What was I even thinking—that my father-in-law would turn against his own son and fall in love with me?Not only did he fail to prove to everyone back there that I didn’t disgust him like Thayer challenged, but he also openly told everyone I was pregnant with his grandson. The reason he kept me was because of his unborn grandson! Why does he think it’s a boy? Was he actually looking for a son to replace his irresponsible son? He was using me! He just wanted to secure his grandson and then get rid of me!I sobbed painfully into a pillow, ignoring the way my stomach growled at me in hunger. My throat tightened and my heart felt heavy as hot tears continued to rush down my cheeks. I was lying on one side on my bed in my room, still in my dinner dress. When we got home earlier, I had rushed inside
