Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO

- Jennifer’s Hatred

*****

“Huh?” Xavier went into a daze and couldn’t react after hearing how he was addressed.

‘Let’s assume Jennifer’s love somehow disappeared after years of him being away, what about them?’ He thought blankly.

Although Xavier was from a poor background before starting his company, Jennifer’s background had been worse than his.

They were homeless when Xavier met Jennifer, and Xavier, in his little, had gotten an apartment for the family, furnishing it. He also enrolled Michael, who had dropped out of high school into college, paying all his tuition in advance.

That did not still end there. Xavier even placed the entire family on a payroll, giving them the exact amount he was giving his parents every month, yet they still addressed him as a prisoner despite knowing the reason behind his time.

This was what Xavier was busy thinking when;

“Who release this prisoner?” Michael suddenly laughed, breaking Xavier’s dumbstruck state. “Weren’t you supposed to rot in jail?”

“And what if he was released from prison?” Ava inquired angrily, glaring fiercely at Xavier who became even more stunned, and then continued without giving him a chance to react.

"Don’t you realize this house belongs to me now, the in-law of the powerful Amodu family? How dare you, a worthless ex-prisoner, come here? Are you trying to stain the Amodu name?" she shouted, and Xavier trembled

Amodu was Victor’s surname, and now…

“You—you…” Xavier pointed, his mouth dropping with stupefaction.

“You what?” Michael rudely interrupted him, but then recalled something and a look of fear appeared on his face.

He quickly looked back at his mother and asked. “Did we not leave my brother-in-law with my sister before we left for the market?”

“This-“ Ava was stunned as soon as she heard this, then glared even more at Xavier.

“You bastard! Hope you hadn’t disrupted the relaxation of the two?”

“That’s not even the problem, mother!” Michael cried before continuing when he saw his mother’s confusion. “Have you forgotten that brother-in-law promised me a new car and you a new change of wardrobe? Would he still fulfill them if he misunderstands things and thinks my sister still cares for this prisoner?!” He yelled, dumbfounding Ava.

“This!” A look of fear appeared on her face as she panicked, and then without hesitation, she rushed away, anxiously yelping. “I need to go beg my son-in-law and convince him that my daughter has nothing to do with this low-life prisoner anymore!”

Michael instantly glared hatefully at Xavier once Ava was gone before growling. "I swear I'll take your life if you make my brother-in-law break his promise," he threatened and pointed at the door.

"Now, get your filthy prison-ridden self out of my house before I have you dragged back to where you belong," he growled ferociously.

Xavier feeling that everything was a nightmare shook slightly, but still; “Your house?” He inquired emotionlessly.

“Yes,” my house, Michael responded affirmatively, smirking arrogantly. “My brother-in-law bought it for my family,” he added spitefully, making sure Xavier understood after which he continued coldly. “Now, get going before I throw you out!”

Xavier unable to react for a moment chuckled, the massive pain in his eyes returning.

He eventually released a heavy sigh before deciding to leave when without any warning, Michael lounged at him.

“Bastard! I told you to get your useless prison-ridden body out of my house!” He yelled, throwing a heavy punch at Xavier’s face with all the strength he could muster.

Looking at Michael's well-built physique, it was obvious he was a gym enthusiast, making Xavier seem like a dwarf beside a giant, and for this reason, anyone's first impression would be that if Michael ever hit Xavier with his full force as he intended, Xavier’s face would immediately shatter and he would pass out, a reason why Michael decided to attack.

Contrary, however, just as the fist was on the verge of hitting Xavier, a sort of invisible force radiated from his body, sending Michael hurling back until he crashed into the wall.

He shot out blood from his mouth the next second and his face paled significantly.

He was dumbstruck for a moment, then his heart began to pound hysterically in his chest, staring at Xavier in horror as he couldn't understand what just happened.

Xavier, who hadn’t even moved a single finger from the beginning looked down at Michael, then not saying a word, he sighed heavily and walked out, no longer looking back.

No sooner had he disappeared, however than Michael, who had been scared out of his wit returned to his senses.

“Argh!!! The prisoner is trying to murder me!!!" he howled, his voice so loud it seemed to echo throughout the entire villa.

”This…” Ava, who had been excitedly peeping into her daughter’s bedroom through the keyhole was dumbstruck, but before she could react, the door was opened and a scared couple rushed out.

They were instantly dumbstruck upon seeing Ava but hearing the terrified voice screaming nonstop, they had no time for her, so they rushed away and Ava also ran after them.

”What happened? What happened!!”

They asked with fear, rushing toward Michael, who was seated in front of the puddle of blood before him.

Michael immediately sobbed as soon as he saw his family. He had thought he was going to die earlier after he felt the aura released from Xavier.

“Boohoo! Th-that prisoner suddenly attacked me out of nowhere! He tried to murder me in revenge!"

“This—” The trio were dumbstruck for a moment before their eyes became filled with rage.

Ava began to curse at Xavier and all his generations, wishing them all the evil in this world while Jennifer looked toward Victor, breathing heavily.

“You must avenge my brother,” she said with eyes filled with hatred.

Apart from her mother, Michael was the next person Jennifer loved most in her life, and now… she felt like tearing Xavier apart for daring to touch him.

She instantly regretted her slight hesitation back then when Michael and her mother pressured her to go to Michael after Xavier’s sentence.

‘I should have dumped him even before he was sent to the place he deserved!’ she thought hatefully.

As for Victor, he immediately smirked upon hearing Jennifer’s request. “That’s a little thing,” he responded, but when he saw that Jennifer didn’t seem convinced, he continued.

"I had him imprisoned five years ago with just a single call, and that was before my family became this powerful. Do you think getting him a death sentence now will be difficult?” He inquired and it was only then that Jennifer became relieved.

Unbeknownst to Jennifer, she harbored deep guilt for betraying Xavier, and unable to accept this guilt, she unconsciously transformed it into hatred, wishing every possible misfortune to befall him.

“Thank you,” she responded before urging her mother to take Michael to the hospital for treatment, then although she was no longer in the mood after the duo was gone, she had no choice but to follow Victor back to the room, seeing how excited he still was.
