The Landlord's Sister Novels & Stories

I could barely catch a few words from the balcony, something about a landlord and somewhere called Farlon Tower. I shook it off and focused on Bernice again. "That's your own sister! You're really just gonna sell her off like that?" "Cut the crap! This is what she wanted, so how is that me 'selling' her? Are you trying to drive a wedge between us?" I let out a harsh, disbelieving laugh. "You sure Val actually wants this? Did you even bother asking her? I haven't even called you out for trying to blow up my marriage, and you're already making me the bad guy!

Elma's POV It's been days since my brother told me about the landlord coming for his rent and I haven't been able to raise the money. Am sure that anytime from now, he will be knocking on our door demanding for his money. I know how annoying that man can be and he is ruthless. He won't consider my mum's condition and spare us rather he will kick us out to the streets.

Ezekiel's eyes widened in shock, and Rebecca quickly stepped between us. With an aggrieved tone, she said, "Maisie, if you don't want to, that's fine. Don't make things harder for Ezekiel. I'll go to the hospital right now and end the pregnancy!" Her tone was so determined that Ezekiel immediately wrapped his arms around her waist. However, the look he gave me was cold enough to send chills down my spine. "Maisie Shaffer, Rebecca is your sister. Do you really have to push her this far?!"

I yell as i slowly made my way to the door "You couldn't ju-" i stopped as i opened the door "As you were saying?" the rude old man looked at me "I'm-I'm sorry sir i thought it was my sister" i stuttered "I told you guys to pay up didn't i?" The landlord started "About that sir,my mother will pay yo...." "I'm sick of hearing that,your mother better pays or...." "Or what sir?" My mother spoke from behind me "The mother has arrived to defend her cub.Listen I'm here for my money" He Demanded

The landlord said to Wang Rubing, "I told you that the apartment could only be used by you, and you shall invite no other people in. How dare you bring back a strange man back." "Bul*shit, how is he a strange man? He's my brother!" Wang Rubing was completely provoked by the landlord that she even spoke out a few rough words. She said, "When did you say that it could only be used by me? I wouldn't rent it if I knew that!" Qin Haodong came to Wang Rubing and said, "Sister, you don't have to be reasonable with trash like him." He turned to the landlord and said coldly, "I'll give you one more chance. Apologize to my sister now and get the hell out of here."

The underlings who once bowed to me now looked at me with open scorn. "Look, there's the great Horton who kicked out his loyal wife for a stripper." "I heard he even lost the Brooklyn docks. What a waste." My territory was being carved up, my finances were in ruins. That woman, Millie, had cleaned out my safe and vanished without a trace. Even the servants, their salaries unpaid, had all left. The car door opened, and a bodyguard shoved a crying Luca inside. "Papa..." Luca was still clutching that book, his eyes swollen like walnuts, his voice hoarse. "Christine said... she's not my mother."

I take a deep breath and try again. “My sister got kicked out of my parent’s house, she’s pregnant and she needs a place to stay. So she moved in with me. Every time she’s around I get a little crazy, I’m stressed out of my mind. And for that reason I am not in the right mind to spend time with anyone.” I say and he looks at me thoughtful.

“You don’t like my sister, do you?” “She’s a liar,” he said evenly. “A con artist. What do I have to like about her?" “Not anymore!” I cried, stung. "She has changed. We have left that life behind." “Ten years ago, she told my brother your land was legally hers to sell. She made him believe that the legalities of the land was hers to deal with just for his money. Then she tried to distract him from doing his due diligence with her big weepy eyes and a low-cut blouse.”

" She and Mom both loved using their looks to get what they wanted, so they assumed everyone else did the same. As she spoke, she pulled out a small knife and waved it back and forth near my face. Seeing her pull out an actual blade, the thugs around us got uncomfortable and moved to stop her. One said, "Brett, we agreed we'd just rough her up and let her go! Now you've even taken her blindfold off, and you're bringing out a knife?" Brett Hudson was Jessica's delinquent boyfriend. Those thugs followed him for the street cred, but none of them wanted to mess with real weapons. Brett stepped forward to intervene. "Jessica, enough. Scaring her is one thing, but she's still your sister."

"Just a few more days sir, I'm begging you!" Elena cried. She was out of options, she did not know where to go and what to do now. "I have given you enough time, Elena! Pack your things in two days or else!" Her landlord yelled. "Please sir, a week at least, my sister is sick and I'm trying to raise some money for her surgery." She pleaded, tears in her eyes.
