Her Brother-In-Law’s Revenge

Her Brother-In-Law’s Revenge by rutger5 ( An original story-Copyright 2011 )



“I’m telling you sis I don’t know why you put up with his shit. You have the gold ring and you’re the mother of his kids so you don’t have to take it.”


“It’s not that easy Kim. What you’ve said is true but I do love him and to just cut him off like that with no proof or warning…” Kathy said before her younger sister interrupted.


“Honey he goes to strip clubs and gets lap dances and proudly admits it. Every bimbo who works in his office probably sucked his dick to get their job and most of them look as if they’re not smart enough to read English let alone do any work. I may not have proof but I’m sure he’s cheating on you Kathy.”


“I don’t know about that last part. Yes the women who work in the office are young and attractive and he is familiar with them but it’s just his way. It doesn’t prove anything.”


Kim rolled her eyes at her sister’s response and wondered if Kathy was really so blind or just pretended to be in order to keep the peace and not let any cracks show in her façade of a perfect, happy family. The two women sat in Kathy’s luxuriously decorated kitchen sipping margaritas as Maria, Kathy’s housekeeper, bustled about setting thing in their proper order. Putting her glass down on the granite countertop Kim thought to herself about how she could force her sister to accept the truth.


It took another margarita before inspiration struck Kim. She smiled to herself as a plan took shape in her mind. No sense saying anything to Kathy yet, at best she would be against the idea and at worst she could blow it up, unwittingly or not. For her part Kathy was just glad that Kim had stopped harping on Frank. She loved having her beloved younger sister living with them but she desired serenity and peace in her life.


She couldn’t understand why Kim didn’t comprehend that especially since they’d grown up in a home filled with such turmoil and dissension. Kathy just desired to live a placid existence and for her children to grow up in a home free from fighting all the time.


“Are you having dinner with us tonight Kim? Its family pizza night.”


“No sorry sis not tonight. I’m meeting Gabrielle for drinks and we’ll probably grab a bite to eat. That reminds me Kathy, any way that you can lend me a little money?”


Kathy sighed to herself as she opened her Coach bag and removed her wallet. She slid a number of bills from it and handed the money to her sister before returning the wallet.


“Thanks big sister” Kim mumbled as she slipped the money in her jean pocket. In the background Maria shook her head sadly before making the sign of the cross furtively.


“Now Kim, promise me you won’t drink too much especially if you’re on your medication.”


“You worry too much sis. If I’m drinking a lot I will just skip my pills tonight. They are only for anxiety and if I’m drunk what do I have to be anxious about? Thanks again Kathy.”

An hour later Kim and Gabrielle were on their third drink and deep in conversation. They were ensconced at their favorite booth at TGIF’s, located right near the bar and a stone’s throw from the ladies room.


“I’m sure my sister would do it but why do you even care Kim? It isn’t hurting you any so why bother, that’s my motto. If there was something in it for you I could understand.”


“No you’re missing the point Gaby; if it hurts my sister then it hurts me. I’m not gonna let the bastard get away with pulling a fast one on her.”


“Your sister doesn’t seem to care about what he’s up to.”


“Kathy looked out for me when I was young and now’s my chance to return the favor. She’s just in denial, once she is confronted with the truth things will change. Then if she’s smart and files for divorce with all his money she’ll be set for life.”


“Doesn’t he make his money owning and running a private carting/waste removal business? I doubt that’s the kind of guy you can take to the cleaners, more likely she’ll be wearing cement shoes if she tries.”


“No he’s not like that Gaby, he wouldn’t hurt my sister. If you crossed him in business that is one thing, but not family. She’s the mother of his kids, fuhgedaboudit.”


“Okay I’ll call Chloe and have her meet us here. Now let’s order some food to soak up some of the booze. Do you know what you want to order? That cheeseburger is calling my name.”


“I’m not sure yet but nothing too fattening for me. I don’t want to say anything Gaby, but maybe you should skip the burger and order cottage cheese instead. You’ve been looking a little bloated lately.”


Gabrielle shot daggers at her companion before ruefully inspecting her soft and expanding waist and hips. Maybe tomorrow she would go for a nice walk after work to burn off some calories she thought.

“Really Kim what is your hurry today. We have plenty of time before I have to get the kids” Kathy told her sister as the younger woman practically dragged her by the arm off the elevator in her haste.


Kim didn’t even answer her she as was so intent on getting there quickly. Once she’d received the text from Chloe she knew the clock was ticking. They had to arrive while Frank was compromised but before Chloe would be forced to do more than she wanted or even worse before he became suspicious. Especially since she wasn’t sure how much loyalty the hundred dollars she paid Chloe would buy. The two sisters walked down the carpeted hallway of the apartment complex toward Gabrielle’s unit. Once they reached the door Kim turned to her sister.


“Listen Kathy, you’re going to see something here that you won’t like but don’t kill the messenger, okay?” Kim said right before she opened the door.


Kathy glared at her sister before pushing past her and entering the apartment. She was certainly not prepared for the scene that awaited her. There on the couch not ten feet away was her husband Frank with no shirt on but he did have a scantily clad young twenty something woman perched on his lap and his hands were all over her.


“Frank!” Kathy wailed, the pain evident in her voice.


Without another word she turned and fled past her sister from the direction she came. Frank had leapt to his feet on seeing and hearing his wife sending Chloe tumbling to the floor. He grabbed his shirt and started after his fleeing spouse slowing only long enough to give a smirking Kim a venomous look before continuing the pursuit of his wife.

Since the incident that afternoon Kim had been keeping a low profile. She shared a couple of drinks with Chloe, using them to wash down two Xanax pills as she was feeling quite anxious. When she got back to the house in the early evening the mood was unsettled to say the least. Though it appeared calm it was the kind right before the storm broke. The only people she saw were Maria and her brother Manuel, who served as the gardener and handyman for the household. He was always a quiet man who said little but it was obvious that they knew something was wrong which made them even more reticent then usual.


Kim had tried calling Kathy numerous times but only got her voice mail. She had left a couple of messages but as of yet had gotten no replies. She saw that both Kathy and Frank’s vehicles were parked in the garage so she assumed they were home by now. Kim really wanted to know what the results of her scheme were but she figured she would find out tomorrow. After liberating a bottle of vodka from the well stocked home bar in the basement and some OJ from the kitchen Kim decided to chill out that night.


It was a couple of hours later and Kim was feeling no pain. Slowly she took another toke on the joint, filling her lungs with the mood altering smoke. When she exhaled it looked to be in the shape of a dragon which made her giggle with delight. After a final hit Kim dropped the partially smoked joint into the ashtray on her nearby bedside table before lighting her Parliament cigarette.


Suddenly the door to her room flew open and her brother-in-law’s bulky figure filled the doorway. He paused only a few seconds while he surveyed the room, taking in the sight of Kim sprawled across the bed in her tiny girly tee and silk boy shorts smoking her cigarette. He strode into the room on a mission and nothing would stand in his way. The first thing he did was yank the cigarette from her hand and crush it out in the ashtray.


“What the hell Frank…” she managed to get out before he cut her off.


“Shut your mouth Kim, I’ve had enough of your bullshit to last a lifetime and today was the final straw.”


Kim had never seen Frank in this mood before and if she hadn’t been so wasted she probably would be scared or nervous at the least. It was obvious that he was angry but it was a cold anger. He was in total control over both his emotions and actions.


“You want to come between your sister and me and think that I’ll stand for that under my roof then you’re crazier than I thought.”


“It’s your cheating that is the problem, not me” Kim fired back as she staggered to her feet.


Frank towered over her and she took a step back, stumbling in the process although she managed to stay on her feet.


“You stupid bitch” he snarled “ no doubt you’ll be happy to learn that Kathy is refusing to fulfill her wifely duties due to your setup.”


Kim couldn’t help but smiling on hearing that news.
