Ryan Johnson, a contract son in law for the Williams family, being maltreated like a maid. He leaves the Williams mansion to find out that he is the son of a multi millionaire woman who abandoned him at birth

The Turning Point Chapter 1 RYAN JOHNSON

Ryan was busy cleaning the centre table in the living room when Alicia emerged from her bedroom. He was in an apron and could be seen sweating profusely despite the full blast of the air conditioner.

Alicia frowned her face when she saw him in the living room

"Where is my sister?'' She asked angrily

''Oh you mean my wife, she has...''

''Don't you ever ever regard her as your wife'' Alicia cut him short even before he could complete his response

''I'm sorry ma'am, your sister has gone out with her friends." Ryan hung his head low and mumbled.

Now, are you done cooking lunch?" Alicia asked, still angry.

"It will be ready in a few minutes, I will serve it as soon as it's ready," Ryan replied in a shaky voice, wiping a drip of sweat off his forehead with his thumb.

"Better hurry up," Alicia said arrogantly as she climbed the stairs back to her bedroom.

Ryan stared at her back view and wondered when he was going to get out of this mess. He doesn't even know his origin.

.......

Ryan was a contract son in law for the Williams. He didn't know much about himself. He grew up in the house of Williams. All he knew about himself as he was told is that he was from an orphanage after they saw him near the beach when he was a few months old. He had been living all his life in the mansion of the Williams

As a contracted son in law for the family, he was married to Adriana, the last born of the family and the apple of her father's eye.

Nobody knew why Mr Edward Williams, the father of Adriana, did that.

Nobody knew the answer, and Mr Edward had passed on, so Ryan remained in the house.

The mother of the siblings had little or no say in the affairs in the house as she was old and was always in her room.

.....

He snapped out of his thoughts and left the living room to the kitchen to check the food he was cooking.

Just when he was about to enter the kitchen, he heard a car honk. He immediately recognized the car to be that of

Geraldine, Adriana's sister.

He hurriedly took the remote for the gate and headed out.

He pressed the remote on reaching the compound, and the gate opened automatically. The black land cruiser drove in and parked in the garage.

Ryan hurried to go help her with her bag. She signalled him rudely, not to dare.

He went back inside to continue with his chores.

After he was done cooking, he served the food in the dining room and went back to the kitchen to eat his own food.

Although he was legally a member of the family, the William sisters banned him from using the dining room. According to them, he was a cheap orphaned son in law who was not even worthy to step foot in the family garden and less of their dining room.

A few hours later, he was in his room contemplating on his life when Adriana came into his room with a piece of paper in her hand, she threw it to Ryan with the words "Read it and do what it says".

Ryan was surprised, not with the paper or her words but with her attitude.

He stared at the piece of paper in his hands, Adriana always expressed her words to him on note whenever he wanted to talk to him, but she always did it very calmly.

For the reason she just threw this paper at him in a mean way, he could not tell.

He opened the paper and read aloud

"Go and wash the clothes in the laundry, clean the house and prepare, I will be having a visitor in the next three days, make sure the whole place is clean and don't make any mistakes".

"Visitor," he murmured

"Adriana is having a visitor? Who could it be? Why was she so rude to me? I know the Williams sisters don't like me, but Adriana is not like that, or did I do anything wrong?"

As he sat down thinking of what just transpired and the words on the paper, he heard his name being screamed from the living room.

As he neared the living room, he strained his ears to listen to what was going on, but he only heard a group of ladies laughing. He peeped to catch a glimpse, but his name was immediately screamed again from the living room, this time louder than the first.

He quickly descended the stairs and went to the living room.

There were about nine ladies there.

He politely greeted them, but the greeting was ignored.

He quickly screened the ladies, the three Williams sisters and six of their friends, two of whom were more like family friends.

Ryan recognized them immediately but still didn't understand what was going on. As he stood there in thoughts, Alicia barked his name, bringing him back to life.

"Johnson Ryan, what are you staring at, or are you now deaf and dumb?" She thundered, Geraldine giggled, and the rest of them burst into a hilarious laughter, Ryan came to his senses.

"I'm sorry ma'am ", he quickly apologized

"Sorry for yourself " She fired

Now I hope Adriana has told you what to do,she asked.

Ryan nodded in affirmative.

"Now get us wine from the fridge and bring nine glasses for us" Ryan nodded and left the living room to the kitchen.

He heard a comment from one, a giggle from another and laughter in the living room. He ignored the comments and remarks. After all, he heard bad comments and stupid remarks every day from the Williams sisters.

He removed the drink from the fridge, got the wine glasses, placed them on a serving tray and headed to the living room. While he was headed to the living room he heard the voices of the ladies once again.

I sat in the gray, airless room of the New York State Department of Corrections, my knuckles white as the Warden delivered the news. "Parole denied." My father, Howard Sterling, had forged new evidence of financial crimes to keep me behind bars. He walked into the room, smelling of expensive cologne, and tossed a black folder onto the steel table. It was a marriage contract for Lucas Kensington, a billionaire currently lying in a vegetative state in the ICU. "Sign it. You walk out today." I laughed at the idea of being sold to a "corpse" until Howard slid a grainy photo toward me. It showed a toddler with a crescent-moon birthmark—the son Howard told me had died in an incubator five years ago. He smiled and told me the boy's safety depended entirely on my cooperation. I was thrust into the Kensington estate, where the family treated me like a "drowned rat." They dressed me in mothball-scented rags and mocked my status, unaware that I was monitoring their every move. I watched the cousin, Julian, openly waiting for Lucas to die to inherit the empire, while the doctors prepared to sign the death certificate. I didn't understand why my father would lie about my son’s death for years, or what kind of monsters would use a child as a bargaining chip. The injustice of it burned in my chest as I realized I was just a pawn in a game of old money and blood. As the monitors began to flatline and the family started to celebrate their inheritance, I locked the door and reached into the hem of my dress. I pulled out the sharpened silver wires I’d fashioned in the prison workshop. They thought they bought a submissive convict, but they actually invited "The Saint"—the world’s most dangerous underground surgeon—into their home. "Wake up, Lucas. You owe me a life." I wasn't there to be a bride; I was there to wake the dead and burn their empire to the ground.

I was once the heiress to the Solomon empire, but after it crumbled, I became the "charity case" ward of the wealthy Hyde family. For years, I lived in their shadows, clinging to the promise that Anson Hyde would always be my protector. That promise shattered when Anson walked into the ballroom with Claudine Chapman on his arm. Claudine was the girl who had spent years making my life a living hell, and now Anson was announcing their engagement to the world. The humiliation was instant. Guests sneered at my cheap dress, and a waiter intentionally sloshed champagne over me, knowing I was a nobody. Anson didn't even look my way; he was too busy whispering possessively to his new fiancée. I was a ghost in my own home, watching my protector celebrate with my tormentor. The betrayal burned. I realized I wasn't a ward; I was a pawn Anson had kept on a shelf until he found a better trade. I had no money, no allies, and a legal trust fund that Anson controlled with a flick of his wrist. Fleeing to the library, I stumbled into Dallas Koch—a titan of industry and my best friend’s father. He was a wall of cold, absolute power that even the Hydes feared. "Marry me," I blurted out, desperate to find a shield Anson couldn't climb. Dallas didn't laugh. He pulled out a marriage agreement and a heavy fountain pen. "Sign," he commanded, his voice a low rumble. "But if you walk out that door with me, you never go back." I signed my name, trading my life for the only man dangerous enough to keep me safe.
