Married To My Sister's Husband

'I knew it', Judy thought, someone in the Verc was giving out informations that only she should have knowledge of.

She admits that Markian was a clever young man, and for him to expose the fact that he knows of the Hongkong contract means he wants to make a deal, which also means he's still aware of the length of her authority over the Local and International Market in this region, but he's too proud to make a bargain.

"Are you certain about that? Well, I don't know how you managed to get your hands on one of Verc's top secret contracts but, the Hongkong contract will go to the company with a more liquidize assets" Jude spoke with a poker face, not breaking eye contact with him for once.

Markian

She was intimidating, that fact is not over exaggerated. No wonder she is called Minnesota's business queen. But I'm not one to be easily intimidated by anyone, especially not in business.

She knew that if i decide to push through and run this contract all by myself, i had a high chance of bagging it, but she would not let that happen.

For the sake of her pride and ego she needs to tame me somehow. Castlehill was slowly escaping her clutches, and having a rogue powerful group of companies like mine is not going to help her position at all.

"But I can make exceptions. You are my son-in-law after all, and I care a lot about Castlehill. So I'm willing to compromise for your sake, because believe me or not Castlehill can't do much without my help. So, take my offer. Leave the Winfrey mansion and move into your new home, take my daughter on the honeymoon and let her have a good time. Relax and be rest assured that when you get back the Hongkong contract will be sitting on your desk." Judy said proudly.

I starred straight at her surprised. Minnesota's business queen, Judy Luthel I knew never mixed business with pleasure. So, she's either very desperate right now or she's planning to trap me in-between, somewhere.

She's asking me to relax? It has to be a plot she and her daughter have drafted to try and get me closer to that devious wench.

"Is this some kind of game to you. You trapped me with your daughter, you desecrated my late wife's memories by forcing me to marry your other daughter, and now you want to force me to love her? I thought Livy was the worse but I was wrong, you are. Maybe you haven't noticed but, I don't mix business with pleasure. I'll treat my new wife however way I seem fit. I don't often repeat myself, but I'm saying this for the second time. You would regret your decision of making a mockery out of my emotions. Olivia is dead to me, and the moment she married me was the moment she signed the end of her happiness..." I ranted but was rudely cut off.

"So, you would let your family murder her the same way they did your beloved Sophia? I see... I thought you could redeem yourself if I gave you another chance for repentance... My Sophia was murdered by your parents! Or... I'm I being too farfetched. Maybe you would believe it if I said you killed her instead, Hmm...?" Judy accused vehemently.

I was utterly dumbfounded by her accusation. I wasn't shocked at the fact that what she accused my family may be true or false, I was shocked at the fact that her accusation was the most preposterous thing I've ever heard. Why would my parents want to kill Sophia? And if it's true, wouldn't keeping Olivia away from me and my family be the right action to take? Could the rumors be true that the shock of losing Sophia must have tampered with Judy's mental health?

"And why would my parents kill Sophia? What could they possibly gain from her death?" I asked sarcastically.

"Complete control of Castlehill? The ungratefulness of your folks, their greed and lack of integrity caused the death of my daughter somehow. I choose to keep things on the low because I hoped that you didn't have a hand in her death, but it seems I might need to start doubting you as well and do the needful." She threatened calmly while looking away from me for the first time today.

"Your threats don't scare me Judy. Sophia's death was an accident and my family had no hand in her death, they are not who you think they are..." I tried to defend but what's the point?

If I continued to defend my family of such outrageous accusation, it mean I'm thinking of the possibility that they mighy have done such a thing, so I kept quiet.

I picked up the gift box and the envelope. "OK. I'll give in for the last time. But from here on out, you would disregard all of your preposterous claims that my family murdered their daughter-in-law. You would not interfere nor would you intervene in my relationship with Livy ever again. You may be the mother of both my wives, but today I cut off all ties with you as regarding being my mother-in-law. We will only meet at the office for official purposes alone, you are not invited to our home and I would like it if you would honor these conditions" I spoke not amiss.

"And in return you would make sure no harm comes to my daughter?" Judy asked barely concerned about the fact that I just told her she's to cut off all ties with her daughter and i.

"Yes!" I replied sturdily.

"Good, very good. Well, do take good care of her then. I still think you deserve to know the truth though, so ask your parents what really happened to your late wife. I'm sure your mother would have an idea. It was really nice seeing you once again Markian" Judy spoke rather relieved. Does she really think my family is responsible for Sophy's death?

Well, at least now she wouldn't spread such rumors and she'd stay far away from me and my family. So if looking after Livy was the price I had to pay for that, then I don't mind.

"I wish I could say the same. I'll take my leave now." I said rudely and left.

My relationship with Judy Luthel have never really being that of a typical mother and son-in-law kind. I disliked her from the very first time I heard she agreed to my parents absurd idea of an arranged marriage between me and Sophy.

But as time went on we both met at a levelled ground. I admired her brutality when it came to business, but the woman had a heart of stone and a fetish of wanting to control everything and everyone around her, so we were never really close. And now, all I feel is anger and detest towards her, and it keeps growing by the day.

I went back to Castlehill and worked myself to fatigue. I didn't want to go back home, because I knew 'my wife' would be there. Since i'd rather eat poison than look at her for even a second, I decided to spend the rest of the evening at Blackout - one of Minnesota's finest bar and club, with Daniel and my driver, Michael.
