Lahat ng Kabanata ng THE DESPERATE DAUGHTER-INLAW: Kabanata 31 - Kabanata 40

Torrential rain lashed against her body as she stepped out of the car with her daughter firmly in her arms. Her luggage was thrown on the floor beside her and she watched in tears as the car zoomed away. It was dark and cold as she found her way through the empty neighborhood with May in her arms and her luggage beside her. She found a spot under the big trees which serves as a relaxing spot in the estate. She sat on the steel bench under the tree and she could feel only small amounts of raindrops on her skin. She brought out a thick cloth from her box which she used in wrapping May who would be terribly cold by now. She began to pant heavily as she looked into the dark rainy night with her body shivering from the cold. The rumbling of thunder could be heard as the rain continued to pour down mercilessly. Her lips continued to quiver and her body trembled as she wrapped her one year old daughter in her bosom. She thought of everything happening in her life at the moment. She had

She was still deep in thought when she heard the phone beep beside her on the bed. She looked at the screen and saw a text popped up in it. She quickly reached for the phone and her brows gathered as she saw a text from Rita. "Melisa, I need you right now at my place. There is something I have to tell you," the text read. She sat up immediately with the phone stuck in her hand. "What does this bitch have to say?" She said to herself. She doesn't want anything to do with Rita and right now, all she felt was nothing but disgust for her. But could she really have something important she needs to know? She thought as she let out a sigh. Going over to her place to teach her a little more lesson won't be a bad idea, she thought again as she stood up from the bed and walked over to the wardrobe. She dressed up in a white short maxi dress and a black beaded scarf tied around her head. She wore her sunglasses and stepped out of the room with her sling purse hung over her shoulder.

He stepped into the car and shut the door behind him. He could see Daren sitting close to the window, dressed in a casual white T-shirt and black pants with his hand cupped around his chin. He seemed to be deeply engrossed in thought and his eyes didn't raise for a moment as he heard him stepping into the car."Daren," he called in a rather high tone.He jolted out of his thoughts and turned to look at him."Um..sorry. I was just..lost," he stammered in a calm tone.Evan sighed and leaned his back on the car seat."How..how did it go?" He asked as he looked at his face with all seriousness."She's appearing in court a few days from now," he replied.He kept silent and looked out of the window. "So, what are your plans?" Evan asked."My mother and grandmother want me to divorce Lisa and marry as soon as possible," he revealed."What?! That's ridiculous," Evan said with a scoff.He kept silent and didn't reply."And what are you going to do about it?" He asked."I don't know. I can't r

“Stefany, meet Daren, your husband to be.” he heard his mother say to the girl who was standing before him with her red thin lips wearing a broad smile.She tried to touch his arms but he beckoned with his hands for her to stop. He saw the smile disappear from her face and he turned to his mother who was smiling as she watched them.“Is this supposed to be a joke?” He asked with a deep frown.Elsa’s brows gathered deeply and she shot him a stern look.“Joke? When I talked about getting you a wife, you thought it was a joke?” She asked with a scoff.“Mother..” he tried to speak but the words became stuck in his throat. He turned slowly to the girl standing beside him and he shook his head in disbelief. Without a word, he walked away.“Daren!” He could hear her calling behind him but he paid no attention to her as he walked to the stairs.She turned to look at Stefany whose facing was looking downcasted.“Oh, baby girl, smile.” she urged as she placed her palms on both sides of her chee

They both watched as she was brought into the visitors room with her face looking so pale. A wry smile broke on her dry lips as she saw their faces. “Lisa,” Toyosi cried in excitement as she was brought to the table. “Toyo,” she called wearily as she sat on the chair. “How are you?” Evan asked from where he sat. “Hmm, same as you guys left me,” she muttered plainly with her gaze on the table. “Lisa, you will be fine. Everything will work out in your favor,” Toyo assured. She smiled and looked up at her face. “I don’t know how long I can hold on,” she said wearily. “You will be out soon, trust me,” Evan assured. “How is my daughter?” She asked. “She is doing okay,” Toyo said with a smile. “I don’t know how to thank you both for all you’ve been doing for me and my daughter. I can’t thank you enough,” she said emotionally as she wiped the tears that trickled down her cheek. “Lisa, you don’t need to thank us. We are only doing what we ought to be doing,” she said with a smile
