A Billionaire in Disguise; Worthless to Worthy son-in-law. CHAPTER 268
Life felt like a constant tug-of-war between business and vengeance. Kendrick had never been one to let emotions cloud his judgement, but the betrayal by Maverick had ignited a fire that wasn’t easily extinguished. Each time he thought about the mansion, the signatures, the cold calculation in Maverick’s eyes, his anger simmered just beneath the surface. But Kendrick had learned long ago that raw emotion wasn’t the weapon of choice in a fight like this. Cold, calculated precision was.That precision, however, required information, and Kendrick was relentless in his pursuit of it.The Peterson Tower had become his command center. The conference rooms and offices had been transformed into war rooms, and every corner buzzed with activity. Olivia and her team of legal experts were in full damage-control mode, gathering evidence, contacting witnesses, and preparing a strategy for the inevitable court battle. But Kendrick wasn’t focused on the courtroom, at least not entirely. He knew tha

Kendrick stood outside the Peterson mansion, his mind racing with the weight of the battle ahead. The air was cool, a breeze cutting through the Texas night as he surveyed the grand estate. He could almost hear the whispers of his ancestors, the long-dead founders of the Peterson legacy, who had built their fortune from the ground up. The mansion wasn’t just a building—it was a symbol of everything they had fought for: family, power, control. Maverick might have thought he could steal it from him, but Kendrick wasn’t about to let that happen.With a deep breath, Kendrick turned and walked toward the black SUV parked at the curb, his phone vibrating in his pocket. It was Olivia.“Anything?” he answered, his voice curt.“I’ve got something,” Olivia replied, her voice low and tense. “Marcos pulled a few strings, and we’ve got confirmation. Vali Sadiq is not just backing Maverick financially—he’s moving into Houston. We’ve been monitoring Uranus Investments, and it’s clear they’re setting

Kendrick’s mind raced as he left the Houston Convention Center that evening. The buzz of the crowd, the endless murmurs of whispered deals and corporate talk, barely registered anymore. All that lingered was Vali Sadiq’s words“Power is meant to be seized, not inherited.” Kendrick’s grip tightened on the steering wheel of the SUV as he thought of his father’s empire, the legacy that was supposed to stay in the family. No one, especially not a foreign tycoon like Sadiq, was going to take it from him!As the lights of Houston faded into the distance and the sprawling Texas countryside stretched out before him, Kendrick’s thoughts turned to his family. His mind flickered to Bridget, his wife, who had been a steady force since the day they had married. They had only been together for a few months, but in that time, she had shown him a side of life he often pushed aside: the importance of family, of balance, of something beyond just the fight for power.By the time he pulled into the esta

The days that followed Kendrick’s decision to redirect his focus were a blur of meetings, phone calls, and relentless strategy sessions. Olivia worked tirelessly, putting together a detailed list of underfunded schools in East Texas, while Kendrick found himself increasingly consumed by the idea of building something that mattered. He spent long hours at his office, but always made sure to check in with Bridget, whose unwavering support seemed to ground him.Though the empire was expanding rapidly, with acquisitions in oil, tech, and aerospace, the scholarship initiative began to take root in a way Kendrick had not anticipated. What started as an idea to safeguard the future of Texas was slowly evolving into a movement, one that had the potential to reshape the way people thought about his family’s legacy.Bridget’s influence on him was undeniable. She had always been the one to bring him back to center when his ambition threatened to drown him in the pursuit of power. He had been so

Two days had just passed and the morning sun stretched across the Texas horizon, reflecting over the sprawling estate as Kendrick paced the length of the study. He had spent the better part of the morning reviewing proposals for new acquisitions, but his thoughts kept drifting back to his father’s legacy and the growing threat that loomed over it. Sadiq’s rise wasn’t just a business challenge; it was a personal one. Kendrick wasn’t just protecting an empire, he was defending the very essence of his family’s place in Texas, a state that had been his father’s kingdom.He glanced out of the window and saw Bridget moving across the garden, her silhouette framed by the golden light. She was always there, her presence steady and grounding. Kendrick felt a pang of guilt, he had become so consumed with the fight for control that he had barely spent any time with her recently. The scholarship fund was important, yes, but he knew that there was still so much left unsaid between them, so much l

The sterile smell of antiseptic filled the room as Katherine Rogers lay propped up in her bed, her frail form almost swallowed by the heavy blankets. She had never imagined that her life would come to this confined to a bed in a hospital room, surrounded by machines that beeped and hummed in rhythm with her failing body. Katherine had always been a woman of iron will, someone who demanded control over every aspect of her life. But now, she was faced with the bitter reality of aging, illness, and the ever-looming shadow of her mortality. The doctors, Shawn and Tigers had been circling her for days, offering suggestions and alternatives, but none of it seemed to matter. The diagnosis had been clear for weeks: her condition was terminal, her days numbered. But Katherine wasn’t one to simply accept her fate. She had survived far worse. She had outlived her enemies, overcome the business pitfalls that had brought so many others down, and built an empire of her own. Her late husband, Roge

The gleaming walls of the Evelyn Peterson Medical Center seemed to close in around Katherine Rogers as she was wheeled through the hallways. Every step felt like it was leading her deeper into a world she had once scorned, a world she had fought so hard to keep out of her life. The quiet hum of machines, the soft shuffle of footsteps, and the occasional murmur of nurses and doctors only served to highlight the oppressive silence that hung over her. Katherine had been through many battles in her life. She had faced enemies, both personal and professional, and had always emerged victorious. She had built an empire, and she had maintained control over every aspect of her life. But now, she was at the mercy of a place she had always despised — Evelyn Peterson's hospital. As they passed through the corridors, Katherine’s mind was a whirlwind of conflicting emotions. She was furious at herself for having to rely on her greatest enemy, and at the same time, she couldn’t help but feel a

The sterile smell crowded the hospital rooms even more overpowering here, the bright lights above showing an almost clinical coldness over everything. Katherine Rogers lay motionless, her frail body tucked under white sheets, staring at the unfamiliar ceiling of the hospital. She could hear the soft click of heels on the polished floors as nurses moved past her room, each absorbed in their own duties. The silence was oppressive, broken only by the occasional beep of machines and the distant murmur of voices from down the hall. She was no longer in control. She had made her decision, albeit reluctantly, and now she was here at the mercy of the Peterson’s empire. The cold realization settled in her chest like a stone. The very people she had spent her life trying to outmaneuver were now the ones holding her fate in their hands. It was a bitter pill to swallow. Katherine had been transported to a private suite, the kind of room that could only be afforded by the rich and influential
