My mother's SON-IN-LAW

85  QUIN "You know I don't like beating around the bush, so just get straight to the point Liam." said Alicia with a stuffed face. She felt puffy from the forced grilled cheese sandwitch she had.

She had to hand it to the guy, even after such a long time he was still such a block-head. It amazes her.

Liam gazed at her meaningfuly and said, "Your brother has been ordered to bring you back to the Adams family. Do you want to know what makes your presence so important for that family right now?"

Alicia on the other hand was shocked, her brother was ordered? that did not make sense in any way, Chris had never been ordered to do anything EVER. What did he mean by 'your presence so important for THAT FAMILY' though? He made it sound like she was some sort of item that they had aquired.

As if sensing the girls thoughts Liam then said, "you seem to misunderstand something here Alicia, Chris is not your brother."

...

at the same time in the Adams residence.

Jennifer and Paul who were seated next to each other while watching something on the screen had a harmonius clamness in their eyes, as if something which had been troubling them for a long time was finally going to be put on the table and dealt with accordingly.

Paul who was supporting his wife's body with a firm grib on her shoulders then said, 'Do you think she'll understand us this time?"

Jennifer smiled widely, there was a cold glint which past through her before she smiled lightly and answered Paul with, " You need to let her go this time Paul, she won't come back to us."

Exactly after those words fell out of her mouth, the wide smile she had on her face dissapeared and a kind of gloominess was seen from her once again.

After a long period she suddenly smiled once again and asked, Do you think they've met each other yet?"

it was as if she was asking herself rather than asking Paul the question, a kind of conviction which she tried very hard to come to terms with but never could.

A smiple sigh left Paul's mouth and he then answered her with, "They probably have, ..."

A call suddenly rang from Paul's phone.

After a few moments Paul noticed the call and unilaterally answered it.

"I told you to choose differently in the past Adams, ..." said a voice which came from the other side of the line. It was a crisp voice of a woman, she sounded a little older but old enough to maintain a beautiful voice as well.

Paul sighed lightly when he heard the woman's words and slowly said, "She won't go to you. Don't do anything that would hurt her, you don't deserve her attention."

There was a simple scoff from the woman and the call ended upbruntly after that.

Paul did not say any words after that, he simply gazed at the TV once more.

The resturant that Alicia had met with everyone had CCTV, and right now Paul and Jennifer were watching it silently.

The moment that Alicia had with Liam into a private room, they both knew that things would get complicated the moment she was out of the room with him.

He was trouble incarnated himself.

With a simple sigh Paul then looked at his wife with gentle eyes and said, "Felix wants her back."

Jennifer on the other hand tensed up when she heard those words. Something inside of her turned to the worst and she was shivering in Paul's arms.

...

In an office somwhere secluded seated a woman who looked like she was in her early forties,. She had short blond hair with a long brown roab draped on her carelessly, and brown slippers as well.

She had a dark expression on her face, more like she was ready to terminate someone without any second glance.

The call she had a few moments ago left her completely aggrieved, why would Alicia not want to be near her, WHY?

What gave Paul the audacity to say those words to him so shamelessly?

Without sparring any more second she unilaterally got up from her chair and was about to walk out of there with confiction. Yet a few moments after she had opened the door she found herself in front of the man she had feared gravely for so many year, Felix, Felix Kimberly was in front of the door with an expressionless face.

She subconciously took a few steps back in order to put some distance between him and the man. Felix simply raised his right brow and said, "I do not appreciate stubornness Allison. The child will only set foot in thid residence from my permission only."

with that the man turned around and left the office without turning back to look at the woman who stood in one place without moving at all. She was numb from the gaze Felix would look at her with, the intense hate and disgust which was written all over his eyes was hard to hide and Felix would never take any care of concealing his disdain from her anyway.

Her eyelashes trembled lightly when she watched him walk out of the room with the emotionless eyes he would look at her with.

...

Outside of the office

Felix who had come out of the office froze the moment he closed the door behind him and the ferrocious expression which was on his face dissapeared slightly. He then took out his phone and made a simple call.

When the phone was answered from the other side, Felix only said, "Bring her to me."

when he finished his words Felix was ready to hang the phone but Frank who was on the other side of the line suddenly said, "Liam, .. Liam and her have met each other again." After a moment of total silence Frank continued with, 'What should I do with him?"
