Daughter-in-law Strikes Harder

‘He is deceptive. He is manipulative,’ her mind clamored loudly to her, as she felt his lips take in hers. It was so sudden that she had not enough time to catch her breath, but was so distasteful at the same time that her lips just held stiff.

‘What in the world was he thinking, when he just spontaneously decided to kiss her?

Aria felt his grasp on her waste tighten so hard, as she tried to push him away from holding her the way he was.

She could barely breathe, and almost choked with the intensity of the kiss. The manner at which he held her was so vigorous, that she imagined herself collapsing from faint as her head spun.

Her knee made its way to his crotch, as she hit with strength and jerked free from him almost immediately. His pain sank deep into him, and he wondered how her kick could weigh that much.

“What are you doing?!” She yelled, staring at him with so much anger. Her eyes looked so fiery and glaring, that it could burn directly through him if they were beam lasers.

He watched her rant so angrily before him, and was amazed at how disgusted she looked because he had just kissed her. He could not imagine that she would be that unresponsive to his kiss, that many women would beg to share with him.

‘Was kissing him that repulsive? No woman would ever treat him with such disdain. She’s got some dangerous nerves.’

“We are doing exactly what you told everyone,” he smoothly said, with a mischievous glint dancing through his eyes.

The exact words she had mentioned to everyone about them kissing, and the manner at which she said it played vividly in his head at that point.

“You are so despicable and manipulative, Dalton,” she uttered almost immediately without much thinking. She couldn’t believe how pompous he looked, especially in the way at which he grinned at her.

“Do that again, and have me crush them finally,” she sneered at him, and trailed her eyes to his crotch area to tell him what she was talking about. He didn’t even seem to be bothered by her threat.

As if that was not enough to make her anger subside, she impulsively darted towards and immediately took him unaware, and pushed him with a great force towards the direction of the pool. It was a back and forward reflex action just to scare him, that required so much energy from her to prevent him from really falling to the back.

Dalton experienced an intense fear for the first time in a long while, for a push prank that no one could dare play on him. His eyes looked so calm like they did not care what was going to happen next, but his heart telepathically feared that she should hold on to his shirt so tightly and not let go of him into the pool.

“I would let you fall into the water next time, if you touch your lips with mine!” She warned fearlessly, “And also if you keep being lenient with me without divorcing me, then I would just have to kill you and myself too,” she said, and dragged his body forward and back to steadiness.

‘This woman has finally gone crazy. She has finally lost her mind!’

Aria had gotten dressed a few minutes later and walked to the parking lot to leave in her car, when Alex politely stopped her and informed her of Dalton’s message, “Mr. Miller told us to escort you home.”

The bright look she had on her face vanished completely, as she pretended not to hear what he had just told her. She just ignored what he had said to her, and entered her car immediately.

‘Pretending to care after the prank that she had just pulled on him? Huff! It’s like a ram being led to slaughter!’RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

The sturdy guards that were black suits matched in an organized manner, and quickly arranged themselves in front and at the back of her car in a horizontal line.

They had stood as a barricade against her driving the car, that meant no resort to move anymore unless they shifted away from the driving lane. She knew it was useless trying to start the car, because they would not allow her to move no matter how hard she tried.

Dalton strutted to the scene so proudly with his head high, as his left hand was tucked neatly into his pants pocket as usual. The look he had on his face did not please Aria at all, he looked like someone who was going to decapitate her any minute.

She had really crossed the line gap between them so many times, for if he decided anything be done to her it was possible. Still, she didn’t care. Her heart was so hardened that it would do whatever it pleased, even if it meant Dalton harming her so badly.

She knew what he was capable of doing, and yet he was doing nothing to her. It really got her wondering.

Not wanting to succumb to his annoying orders of following his stupid men, she picked her bag and slipper and came down from the car. If she really had a way to do however she liked, she would have had Alex flogged for his inflexibility to do whatever Dalton wanted. Especially to frustrate her.

“Bring my car home by whatever means,” she instructed Alex sternly and walked past Dalton, pretending not to see him standing at all.

She would rather walk all the way home or get a cab, than take the car that had Dalton’s men riding in with her. He had really put her so low than even their stupid servants.

Unexpectedly, another thought just crossed Aria’s mind as she grinned maliciously, and turned back to walk to where she packed the car. She opened the door and hopped into the car, with guards and Alex watched in uncertainty of what she was planning to do.

She ignited the car and pressed on the brakes, as she reversed the car and headed straight and fast, towards the direction where the guards that stood at the front of her car were. They looked somewhat calm and professional like they didn’t mind, if she planned to break their legs at the manner at which she drove crazily, and had halted the car right before their knees.

“Hmnnn, nice job. What loyal men you guys are,” she grinned, and made the same move towards the back again, and drove faster this time and back to the front.

It continued in the same backward and forward motion for about a minute, in a really rough and crazy manner. The guards were already kind of getting insecure in their minds that Dalton’s wife, could rob them of their limbs anytime soon. She was driving insanely.

Suddenly, the car made a 180⁰ swerve and sped out of the square barricade the guards made, knocking off the last man that was standing at the back, and headed straight and fast towards Dalton’s direction.

Anxiety and fear swept Alex as he watched the car wheels, that he totally believed in his head that Dalton’s wife had really lost her mind. She pulled the car gear to stop about three inches away from Dalton’s legs, and smirked at him when he seemed not to really flinch. The guards had already ran after the car so fast, when they saw the fast move that Aria’s car had made towards their boss.

“I love your courage, boy. See yah home, Dalton,” she screamed from the car and drove the car backward with a fast motion, and away from the nightclub building immediately.

It was just twenty three minutes past one in the morning, and the city looked so lively and bubbly like it was day time. The thought of what might happen after the stunt that she had just pulled out there crossed her mind, but it didn’t matter because she was just starting the game.

Aria had gotten to the mansion minutes later after she had to horn so much at the mansion gate, before the control room controlled the opening of the gate from inside. Immediately she went up to her room to change the clothes she was wearing, and headed straight to the extremely large kitchen.

She opened the large industrial refrigerator and brought out a frozen whole-chicken from it, as she planned to make grilled chicken out of it by herself. After opening so many drawers and cabinets in confusion of what was in them, she finally found the right equipment she needed to make the chicken.

Just as she could recall from the cooking classes she had once taken, Aria followed the procedures she remembered in her head for an even seasoning, and lastly placed the chicken into the oven to grill.

She sat on one of the luxurious kitchen chairs that was tucked under the beautiful table, where her hand could easily touch one of the many huge chandeliers that hung and shone brightly above the table.

The reflected brightly on the white

porcelain that she had put on the table, as she slowly munched on the fruit palate she had made minutes ago. Her eyes grazed slowly round the beautiful interior designs of the ultra-luxurious kitchen, when she suddenly remembered something and instantly made her way out of the kitchen to her room.

“It is not too late to call now, right?” Aria said to the speaker on the other side of the phone, and slowly made her way into the dressing room as she talked.

Dalton entered into the mansion at a much later hour, which was almost the first of its kind in a very long time. It was because of someone again. He was about to make his way up the stairs, when he sensed something nauseating which made him pause on his steps.

Alex, who could perceive the smell, ran as fast as he could to the kitchen direction, to locate what had caused unpleasantry into the atmosphere of the mansion. The large space was covered in a thick and cloudy smoke that was suffocating, and too opaque to see through. Someone had left a chicken unattended to.

“Who amongst you wanted to kill everyone in the house?!” Ellen’s raging voice demanded, as she had gathered the maids in charge of the kitchen by dawn, almost an hour after Alex had put off the oven.

They all stared at the chicken which was burnt beyond recognition, on the pan that laid on the kitchen slab. The maids all looked anxious and confused because they could never predict what Ellen could do next, especially for the fact that no one was admitting the allegation that had been put against them. Her anger was so capricious and spontaneous, that they knew they were definitely going to suffer for it.

Aria, who was oblivious of the havoc she had caused, woke up later in the morning and went straight to the glass balcony to sit, while holding in her hand a cup of hot coffee. Her heart felt heavier than ever, as she thought of the call that she had made the previous night.
