No one noticed the change in my facial expression as my eyes grew cold. Even my aunt made eye contact with me briefly before quickly retreating. I couldn't help but think about how she had betrayed our family by helping my mom run away with her lover. Despite the fact that my dad never mistreated her and fulfilled her every demand, yet my mom repaid him with betrayal. I couldn't hide my astonishment. To top it off, he died six months later from depression leading to excessive alcohol consumption. And my mom, didn't even bother to look for him during his last breaths. 'Wow! Mom, proved that she truly loved my dad by cheating behind his back. Hmm, such irony. 

Not only did she neglect to show any concern or make any effort to contact me, but she also failed to consider my well-being after my father's demise. It's clear that she was solely interested in our family's wealth and not genuinely loving my father. While he may have forgiven both of them, I couldn't find it in my heart to do the same.' I swear to myself. 

As I clenched my fists and my veins bulged on my hands, she couldn't help but feel hurt for a moment. However, she quickly composed herself and looked at me with a bitter smile, her eyes slightly moist. But I maintained my cold expression and didn't show any sympathy towards her. I simply stood there, unmoved.

Looking at the changes on my face, Shanaya grabbed my arms and looked perplexed. She inquired, "What's wrong? You seem troubled."

"Oh, it's nothing. I'm fine," I replied, masking my annoyance.

"Okay, come with me."

She then introduced me to the two ladies sitting on the couch, saying, "This is my mom, Kayla Jonas, and her friend Lancy Cannon. And Mom and Aunt, this is my husband, Ryan Ley."

Lancy cast me a curious and enthusiastic gaze, but I pretended not to notice her. The woman on the right, rose and approached, grasping my hands and saying, "Welcome, my dear son-in-law. Come and sit next to your mother." She affectionately tapped the couch beside her.

I was taken aback by the sight of my wife's mother. 'Wow! How unexpected! I always heard that mothers-in-law were difficult, but she seems to be the complete opposite.’

Her figure is curvaceous and alluring, accentuated by a small cobra tattoo on her right neck. She wore a white top and blue skirt that showcased her assets perfectly. Her hips were broad, and she had F-cup breasts with a slight waistline, but it didn't detract from her appeal. As she walked, her hips swayed invitingly, as if she were giving me an opportunity. Despite being in her mid forties, she appeared to be in the prime of her thirties. I couldn't help but be captivated by her presence.

"Hello," I greeted with a brief response. 

Noticing my concise reply, Kayla appeared slightly let down, but before she could say anything, Shanaya interjected with a giggle, "Oh mom, please excuse him for being introverted. He doesn't talk much." 

Kayla brushed it off and smiled, saying, "It's okay. I'm not bothered." 

"By the way, son-in-law, what are your plans for the future?" Kayla probed further. 

"Well, I'll probably aim to work in a corporate office," I laughed. 

"Oh no, you'll be managing our business," she replied firmly. 

"Huh? Um, ma'am, I don't think I have the qualifications yet," I stammered, waving my hands in disbelief.

Kayla snapped angrily, "What did you just say, ma'am or mom?"

"I said mom," I quickly responded, feeling the need to use that term even though I didn't want to anymore. She was my mother-in-law after all, and I had to adhere to certain obligations.

"Hmm, that's fine. Just so you know, you'll both be staying overnight here and can leave in the morning. Understood?”

I nodded while Lancy stared at me longingly, appearing to have lost something valuable. She discreetly took a picture of me, and sent it with a message, “My nephew has really transformed sis. He is no longer the playful child I used to know. He doesn't even acknowledge me anymore, as though I am his greatest enemy, holding a strong hatred between us.” 

This caused her to tear up and her eyes to turn red. Despite this, she wiped away her tears and forced a smile, blaming herself for the change in her nephew.

"Shanaya, you both should freshen up. And then we will have our dinner here.” Kayla suggested to us. 

My wife agreed and brought me to her bedroom. Once we arrived, she tossed me a towel and instructed me to get changed.

Meanwhile, Kayla inquired, "Lancy what do you think about Ryan?"

"Hmm, I think he is a man of great potential. And I think he's different from the men outside," Lancy replied hurriedly.

“ Hmm, I think so too. He's a well mannered, brought up man. His parents must have taught him great lessons.” She pondered. 

Hearing this, Lancy was once again desolated as a surge of turmoil burst in her heart. ‘Yes, he inherited his genes from his father. I know him very well. I don't know if he will ever forgive his mom or turn a blind eye until her demise.’

“Well Kayla, I'm going to my room for a short nap, until they arrive for dinner.”

“ Yeah sure.” Kayla nodded. 

Lancy went to her room and closed the door. She stood in front of the mirror and whispered to herself, ‘Am I so bad to you, Ley? Is that why you are giving me a cold shoulder? If so, I will silently accept the consequences you bring upon me.’ she grieved silently.

Ring ring 

Shortly, her mobile rang. Glancing at the screen, she answered the call with tears streaming down her face. "Sis, I've truly lost his respect. I can't bear to see him so distant.You know how much it hurts me when he disregards me," she cried softly.

"I'm aware of his emotions towards you, and I am prepared to endure them. Now, could you provide an update on his well-being?" inquired a woman in her thirties.The woman's voice possessed a soothing quality that would astonish anyone who heard it.

"He is leading a serene life, so there is no need for concern," she replied, her voice quivering slightly.

“Hmm. It would be preferable if he detested me, as I am unable to confront him in this life. He harbors an intense animosity towards us. And I am well aware of his obstinacy, which mirrors that of his father. Like father, like son." she muttered, her lips quivering. With a bitter smile, she acknowledged her own dissatisfaction.

“Sis, I'll try to talk to him, maybe he will listen to me on account of me being his aunt.” Lancy suggested. 

“Do you think he will consider you his aunt after I abandoned him? Anyways, just tell him that I miss him very much, even though he hates me to the depth, my heart aches for him. Despite having a daughter now. I still love him and will keep loving until my last breath.” With tears in her eyes, the woman sighed while gazing at the nighttime sky adorned with stars.

“Mom, why are you crying?” A woman in her twenties approached her. 

"No Willow, some dust particles accidentally got into my eyes. By the way, what are you doing here?” she queried. 

"Dad was looking for you, so I came to let you know," she said with a shrug. 

"Alright, inform him that I'll be there shortly, in a matter of minutes," she replied, dismissing the person.

Observing her daughter walking away, the woman remarked, "Alright, I'm ending the call now.That pig, Joseph, is waiting for me." After disconnecting, she proceeded to her spouse's quarters. Spotting him reclined on the king-sized bed, captivated by an explicit content, the woman advanced closer. "Darling, it's our 23rd wedding anniversary today. Shall we relive our honeymoon?" Joseph chuckled, his desire evident.

“Can't we do it tomorrow. I'm not feeling well today.” She spoke harshly. The man trembled, but his desire was overwhelming. "Please, my love, today is beyond my control. It's a mark of our togetherness. Please, baby," he pleaded while on his knees. Glancing at his submissive behavior, she smirked and reluctantly agreed.

"Alright, hurry up, you only have forty minutes," she insisted, and then laid on the bed stroking her feet against his face. "Do you enjoy this, sweetheart?" she queried. He obediently nodded, resembling a dog eagerly licking its master's hand.

With a devilish smirk, she then suggested, "Why don't you go ahead and give my feet a lick, baby?”

He started licking passionately, satisfying the woman who relished being treated with such reverence. As he moved higher to plant a kiss on her lips, a hand stopped him and directed him elsewhere. With a gentle pull on his hair, she urged him to attend to her intimate area. He then removed her skirt and was confronted with a tantalizing sight – a forbidden fruit oozing with desire. He proceeded to suckle softly, eliciting slow moans from the woman. Encouraged by her response, he continued his actions with even greater fervor.

“Ah, please continue," she moaned. 

“ Yeah, like that. Ah.”

After satisfying his thirst, he unzipped his pants and carefully removed his erect member. He proceeded to enter slowly and started moving rhythmically. While they expressed pleasure through their moans, a woman passing by the hallway was stunned by the peculiar sounds emerging from the room. This woman happened to be their daughter, Willow. She covered her mouth in shock and whispered, "They really have no self-control. Why did I walk by at this moment, God knows!”

 "Harder, yess.” The woman quivered with pleasure. 

Thrust

“Come on harder. Can't you do it, huh?” She smirked devilishly. 

Thrust

“ Yes yes.” Hurt by his pride, he pounded forcefully. 

Thrust

“I'm about to climax, babe," he said eagerly. 

“No, don't. Not there, cum on my boobs.” She warned. 

“But why baby?” Annoyed he ask

“ I'm happy with my daughter and I don't need one more.” Sternly she said.  

“As you wish.” ‘Though I'm being rejected, but still I can enjoy it. Haha’. He thought to himself. 

Following their intimate sessions, Joseph rested next to the woman and inquired, "How was it?" The woman responded, "Hmm, you were absolutely incredible, but unfortunately, you will not be able to reach me for the next fortnight. I will be on vacation with Willow.”

"Darling, how can I possibly stay for two weeks? You know that I only engage in intimate moments with you and no one else. So, what do you think? Shall we continue with our plans?" he asked confidently, suggesting that her response had energized him.

“Really, you still have the nerve and energy to say that. The room beside ours belongs to our daughter. What would she think? I allowed you because it was our anniversary, understand? Now fuck off.” She reprimanded him.

‘Figuring out a woman's mood is an impossible task for any man in this world.' the man pondered to himself, and he later drifted off into a peaceful slumber.
