Dominance Commander Son-in-law 28: Acquaintance
Mia turned to Kevin, ignoring Nathan. “You should get back to your post and remember the missing for today,” she finished and walked away.Nathan stylishly withdrew his hand. He had never been so embarrassed in his entire life, but it didn't bother him that much. He loved women who were unwilling. It was always like a challenge to him.“Well,” Morris cleared his throat meaningfully. “That was my sister, Mia.”Nathan stared back at Morris with shock and gratitude. “Seriously?”Morris nodded once. “I'm so glad you were invited to this party. Come, let's get you settled,” he offered and led him to some arranged seats.The party started almost immediately. Everyone was present, including some family members who couldn't meet up with Mrs. Perry's birthday. So, it was crowded.Morris’ father arrived late, with his brother, Anthony, Alessia’s father.Suddenly, Alessia walked inside with two men in black suits.Mrs. Perry was overjoyed seeing her, as well as the others present at the party.

“What!”Murmur ensued among Mia’s cousins.Mia looked up, shocked. Was that true? Did Alessia really give the wine to Kevin? It only meant one thing: that Kevin had been embarrassed for nothing. With the truth, she would be able to save face in the family. Her cousins that have insulted her would take it back. After all, his husband knew the popular Alessia from Phoenix Group.Silence ensued as everyone was too embarrassed to even say anything to Alessia. Who would have thought that Kevin didn't really steal the wine?“Well, he helped me once, and I gave him the wine. But you started treating him like a thief without knowing his worth. For this case, I will be cancelling the cooperation with the Perry family.” She announced.What!Everyone was gobbled.Alessia didn't wait for anyone to talk before she walked out of the hall. She was very angry. In fact, she would like to do more for them, but she needed Kevin's permission before anything would happen.How could they treat the mighty L

Kevin watched Mia walk in and released a sigh. Mia was not remorseful at all. She wasn't even apologising for all she had allowed and all her family had made her go through. The only thing she was concerned about was satisfying her family. Well, it was why she got married to him in the first place. Kevin just thought she would change.But it seemed like he was expecting too much.He brought out his phone and placed a call to Alessia. She picked it up immediately. “Lord Phoenix!”“Alessia.”“What is happening, boss? Why is the Perry family behaving like that? They should be taught a lesson,” Alessia muttered angrily. “They should know that they are not supposed to mess with the Lord Phoenix.”“It's ok, Alessia. It's not something you should be angry for. Like I said, the Perry family is a group of clowns. They have no idea who they are messing with.”“Well, I can teach such clowns lessons they will never forget.”“Yes, thats right. The Perry's family is only enjoying this benefit be

“That was Alessia, wasn't it?” Morris asked suddenly, a wide smile on his face as he waited.Alessia nodded slowly.Everyone jubilated.“Nathan did it!” Morris announced.“Wow, he's really close with Miss Alessia.”“Seeing that he got the contract back for us in a few minutes shows how qualified he is.”“He's in fact the one we should be grateful for and not a useless husband.”“Morris was right. Kevin might know Miss Alessia, but he can't do this. If Mr. Nathan hasn't come in, we might not be able to retrieve the contract.“And it was Kevin's fault that we lost the contract in the first place.”Everyone started to shower Nathan with comments of praise while mocking Kevin and blaming him for their earlier misfortune. Mrs Perry was overjoyed. She looked at Nathan with a look of approval. “Thank you so much, Mr. Nathan. We are really grateful for what you have done.”Nathan smiled with pride. “It's nothing, Mrs. Perry. In fact, I have to call our manager back and praise his efficiency.

“Ma'am! Ma'am!” He called, but the woman didn't respond.Kevin was afraid. He checked her pulse and was relieved that she was still breathing, but he knew that he had to get help for her.Who knew what the woman had gone through? Besides, why was she hellbent on meeting Alessia? Something that involves Alessia involves him too.A man rushed closer suddenly. “Please, get an ambulance or anything!”“I've called the ambulance! They would be here soon,” the man responded.The voice sounded so familiar that Kevin looked up. He was surprised to see Jake.“What! Jake? What are you doing here?”Jake bowed. “I am here to serve you, and I will serve you till my last breath.”Kevin stared, shocked. What!Just as he opened his mouth to talk, the ambulance pulled up.Jake looked at Kevin as the woman was being helped into the bus. “I will go with her and make sure she's fine. I will text you where she is as well.”Kevin nodded once and watched the bus for a moment until it was out of sight before
Dominance Commander Son-in-law 33: Mistake
Kevin couldn't believe it. “You will really be in trouble if I call someone,” he repeated in a not-so-funny voice to show he was really serious.The security men who had seen Kevin as a joker laughed again, enjoying his jokes.“Let's see who he has to call, though.He huffed and pulled out his phone. He dialled Alessia's number.Alessia picked it up immediately, as if she had been waiting for his call. “Hello Boss.”“I've been outside Phoenix Plaza for a while now, but the security men didn't let me in.”“I'm sorry about that, boss. I will be there now,” she assured, and the line went off.The men watched him until he was done and waited for a few minutes before they burst into laughter again.“One would think he really called the CEO,” one of them joked.“Well, I did call the CEO,” he confirmed.“ One of the men huffed. “There's no way someone like you will have the CEO’s number. There's no way you would have called her.”“Yes! Did he think we were fools? How could a doorman have the

The woman from earlier hurried to grab Violet suddenly.“Please let me see Miss Alessia. I beg of you.”Kevin had almost forgotten about her because of the barbarian attitude that the security men were displaying at the entrance.Violet looked up, shocked. “What?”The woman let her go and grabbed Kevin's clothes. “Please, sir. Please, help me. I need to see Miss Alessia. It's really important for me,” she started to cry. “Please, my daughter is about to die. Please save her.”Kevin felt moved. “You will, ok? And your daughter will be fine,” he assured.The woman nodded quickly, but she sobbed even more.“Is there anything going on here?” Alessia asked as she stepped out. She saw as Kevin was helping the woman up, and she hurried closer to support him.The woman looked up, and her eyes widened with shock. “M_miss Alessia?” She stammered.“This woman has been wanting to meet you. I met here here as the security men didn't allow her in, including me anyway.”Alessia turned to look at the

Irene couldn't stop sobbing for what seemed like some minutes. Alessia had to console her.“It's ok. You can talk now, and everything will be attended to,” Alessia assured her.Irene nodded once, finally wiping off the tears from her face.“Thank you so much. Last month, the government started an eminent domain plan. The Watson family was in charge of the relocation and resettlement work in their area. However, they underpaid the compensation to the community residents and resorted to violence to coerce them into signing agreements.”What!Kevin knew the Watson family so well. Though he was surprised that they could do such a thing. The Watson family were nothing some years ago. They gradually rose to the position, and not without his help. They have assured him countless times that they were going to make sure they fulfilled the people's desire.Kevin made sure they rose to the promotion. But he couldn't have imagined how they could have changed. Now, they were not only greedy; they

Lisa lingered at the door to her classroom. She turned back the way she had come,gazing down the shirt hallway.Maybe I should go back to uncle Kevin and plead with him to follow me in, she thought.She knew that Kevin had done something to them, their apology was a testament of that, but… there was this fear that they've instilled in her. She barely ever showed it, but their presence fill her with dread. When they had walked out of the basketball court, she had grown rigid with fear until she remembered that the principal was by her side and Kevin wasn't far away.“Don't worry, Lisa,” she closed her eyes and took a deep breath. “You’ve got this. You can do this. Uncle Kevin has warned them off, there's nothing to be scared about anymore.”After the quick pep talk, she lifted her chin and squared her shoulders like her mom always teaches her to, and walked into the class.She passed a quick greeting to the teacher and walked to her seat, avoiding to look in her ex-bullies’ direction.

“Wow,” Kevin exclaimed. "That's great!” Vivian beamed."Which company is that?" Kevin asked.“Glikkle enterprise."The name Amy mentioned immediately rang a bell. Though not as big as the Mekin company, Glikkle enterprise was one of the big businesses right now."What a great way to begin the day.” Kevin smiled. “See that we're not doomed like Mr Ross, the manager of the Mekin company equivalent to the CEO of any other company, thought we'd be."Amy and Vivian laughed lightly. “We're not, boss.” Amy said, a smile plastered on her lips. “No one can stop the Print Odd from growing."“Now, that's the zeal. Let no one intimidate you just because the company is a start up.”“Yes, boss,” they chorused, insanely glad that they had a man like Kevin as their boss."So boss, when will you be free so I can book the appointment?”Kevin ruminated on her question for a while. “Tomorrow, by 12, will be fine."“Alright, boss. I'll go get started now."Kevin nodded as Amy walked out. He handed over

Kevin ended the call with Gideon. He was about to pull back on the road when his phone rang again.With his hands still on the steering wheel, he glanced back at the phone. The moment he saw the caller's ID, one of his hands fell from the wheel as he picked up his phone and answered the call.“Hello, boss, good morning.”"Lionel, good morning.”"I called to ask if you've heard from the guy, boss.”"Gideon? The one you suggested to handle the company in my absence, right?”"Yes, boss. We've talked, and I have actually given him a go-ahead. In fact, he has arrived in Landary province. He's in the country right now.”"Yes, I know that. I've heard from him. I actually just finished talking to him.”“Okay, then.”“Yeah, everything's alright. We've discussed a bit. He seems like a good guy. And I can see he's very interested in the role he'll be handling. That's a good start.”"Yes, boss. Once I told him, he accepted in a heartbeat.”Kevin chuckled lightly. "I'm not surprised.”“By the way,

“People need to learn to drive properly,” Kevin muttered under his breath, shaking his head as he slowed down and allowed a motorcycle to speed past the front of his car. If he had been driving as recklessly as the boy and kept up with his speed without being cautious, he'd have hit the ignorant boy. As he marched on the accelerator and returned to his initial average speed, his gaze followed the young boy on the motorcycle who had sped ahead. Kevin began to contemplate if he should go after the boy and reprimand him for his speed. He was on a packed highway; he should move with some sense and not just speed ahead because he feels adrenaline pumping through his body because he's on a power bike. Before Kevin could make up his mind, his attention was drawn from the motorcycle that was rapidly disappearing in the distance ahead; his phone rang out.With his gaze now on the road, he reached for his phone on the dashboard. He switched his attention between the road and his phone. Ashe c

“So that's all about the premises,” Jake said as they stepped out of the storeroom behind the Print Odd building. “As time goes on, you'll get used to the ins and outs of the building.""Thank you,” Howard said to Jake, grateful for the detailed tour. The Print Odd building was quite bigger than it looked. If Jake hadn't shown him around, he was sure to get lost someday.“So now, let's head up so I can introduce you to the two second most important people after the boss.”“Okay,” Howard said, then he added, guessing. "That would be the manager and…" He trailed off, and Jake didn't hesitate to fill in.“And his secretary. They basically run this place since the boss is always busy."Howard nodded as they made their way inside the main building. Jake first walked them toward Vivian's cubicle. And as luck would have it, as they approached, he saw that Amy was right there with her, hunched over Vivian's desk, both of their gazes glued to the system as she pointed at the desktop's screen,

Just as Kevin took a step in the direction of the parking lot, he came to an abrupt halt as a thought hit him. He turned around and walked back into the school building.He was headed for the principal's office, but then made a detour when he saw the principal in the hallway. He appeared to be in a serious conversation with someone as they walked farther down the hallway.“Principal,” he called to stop him since he was walking as he spoke with the man.The principal instantly stood straighter, immediately recognising the voice he had just come to know about half an hour ago. It was forever etched in his memory. He turned around and saw him walking toward him. “Mr. Kevin,” he smiled as he began to walk toward him, determined to reach him before he took more than three strides. He reached him just after Kevin took his second stride.“You came back," he said when he stopped before him. Did he return to accept the invitation to the end-of-the-year party? He wondered before Kevin could

“The right thing to do is to apologise to the person that you all offended. Who do you think is madder at you than I am right now?"Their eyes widened the same instant that one of them gasped, “Lisa!”At that moment, they all scrambled to their feet and raced one another outside the court, each wanting to be the first to apologise to Lisa.Kevin smiled as he watched them troop out of the door. He began to walk to the door so he could join them outside, turning the lights off on his way out.Outside, the kids were already in front of Lisa, apologising to her.Lisa and the principal gaped at them, wondering what Kevin had done to them.They even had smiles on their faces! Lisa squinted her eyes at them to see if their smiles were the evil ones they always gave her in class or the forced ones they flashed at her whenever there was a teacher around. But it wasn't! She couldn't believe her eyes; her bullies were genuinely smiling at her.The principal also looked at them, shocked but glad.

“Lord Phoenix," Lionel's voice filled the space. “Is there anything you need me to do for you?" Kevin smirked as he pointed his left index finger to his phone that he held in his right hand, "Do you hear that?"“What? Sorry, Lord Phoenix. I didn't get that.”Kevin took in the kids' reactions, their bugged eyes and open mouths. The girl who had her arms stubbornly crossed across her chest as she proved to be a badass just a few minutes ago now had her hands by her side, clutching her gown as she shivered with fear. She was the one that looked the most scared. It was true that the loudest was usually always the dumbest.Kevin scoffed, shaking his head.“Lionel,” Kevin finally acknowledged him. “Yes, boss?""I'd call you later,” Kevin told him, then he hung up.All of the kids shook with fear as they gaped at Kevin. They couldn't believe they were in the presence of the lord Phoenix.The lead girl and the tall boy who had both seemed the boldest and most fearless were the ones who trem

The principal, greatly angered that the little riffraff were about to cost him his career, walked closer to the bullies, a group of two girls and four boys. He recognised one of the boys; the mother had been to his office multiple times to complain about his bad grades, and each time, they'd enrol him in an extra class. “So this is what you do instead of attending classes and reading your books, right?”They shook their heads vigorously. "No, principal. We were just helping Lisa. We didn't know class had started,” one of the girls spoke up.“Helping Lisa?” He quipped, then asked heatedly, "What were you possibly helping Lisa to do?”The girl that had spoken looked to the other girl whose eyes widened before she was pushed towards the principal.“Her hair!” The girl squeaked. “Lisa wants long hair, so we're helping her. Milk helps hair grow longer,” she rushed out in one breath.“Yes, ask her!" The boys chorused and pointed at Lisa, who still had her face buried in Kevin's shirt.It w
