The mayor was clearly annoyed. He didn't know the relationship between Kevin and the people he met with him, but he was sure they were trying to override him.“I'm still yet to understand what's happening here,” the mayor muttered thickly. He looked at the minister. “Perhaps the minister can explain it better to me. As far as I know, I and Kevin already booked this place. I don't know why you expect him to leave this place for you. Who can you be?”The minister shivered. “I'm so sorry for the misunderstanding.”Mia and Morris couldn't talk. They saw that the minister was in fact shuddering. They knew better than talking. What if they angered the mayor the more?“That's not an excuse, actually! But that aside, I'm not the one you should be apologising to. You embarrassed my guest!”The minister stepped forward with apologetic expression. “I'm so sorry, Mr. Kevin.”Mia looked at him, shocked for a moment. Mr Kevin?“I'm so sorry for the misunderstanding,” he repeated.The mayor looked

Kevin took the steering because Morris refused to drive Kevin home. To him, it was a sign of disrespect. So, he sat in the back seat while Mia sat at the passenger side.“What were you discussing with the mayor anyway?" Morris asked suddenly as Kevin took a turn.Kevin regarded him for a moment through the front mirror. “You can't force the words out of my mouth. You had better mind your business,” he said harshly.Morris felt a stab of annoyance. “Mia, did you hear what he just said?”Mia grunted. “I have no time for this, Morris. If you can't stay quiet, you can as well get out of my car!” Mia said in a harsh, cold voice.Morris groaned and looked away.Mia was in fact annoyed that Morris disturbed her. She was thinking about who Kevin was. But no matter how much she thought about it, she couldn't arrive at a conclusion about who Kevin was.Then she realised that being angry and harsh won't even make Kevin talk. He seemed to have changed recently. Maybe she could try to be calm so t
Dominance Commander Son-in-law 48: Suspension
Everyone started to chant Kevin's name again. They were so happy at the turn of things. They thought it was trouble when Nathan showed up with Jack again.Kevin stood up and smirked. “You better leave before I change my mind.”Nathan regarded him for a moment, stood, and rushed out of the vicinity. Jack hurried after him.“Mr. Kevin,” an old man of sixties called suddenly, a smile on his face. “Thank you so much for coming to help us. We all appreciate it,” he said sincerely.Kevin reciprocated his smile. “You shouldn't be bothered about them again. The Watson's family will no longer participate in the demolition. So, you have nothing to worry about,” he assured.Everyone whooped in delight.“And because of this, we will like to entertain you to express our gratitude.”“Oh, that won't be necessary,“ Kevin started to say.More men walked out. “Please. It's to show how grateful we are. Please, don't say no.”Kevin smiled and widened. “It's ok. I will tag then.”Nathan didn't stop until

Alessia nodded once. “It's done, immediately,“ she assured, pulling out her phone and dialling her secretary number. “Suspend all cooperation with the Watson's family immediately,” she muttered and hung up. She looked at Kevin again. “It's all dome, Boss.”Kevin nodded once. “When a new person takes up the demolition project, I will let you know so you can make some investigation for me. It has to be someone who can do the work because we wouldn't want history to repeat itself,” he explained.Alessia nodded once. “Yes. There's something I need to discuss with you. Are you going to see Oliver now?”Kevin thought about it quickly. He had nothing to do at that moment anyway, so why not?He nodded once. “Yes.”“Then I can drive us in my car. Jake can take the other car,” she suggested.In the next few minutes, they were in the car. Alessia drove while Kevin sat in the passenger's seat.“Is everything alright?” Kevin initiated the conversation. Alessia nodded once. “I just saw the news re
Dominance Commander Son-in-law 50: Disgraceful
Nathan drove himself to the hospital. He felt pain on his cheeks where Kevin had slapped him and needed to get treated.He was still in a daze how it happened so fast. It was no news that Kevin was close to the mayor or he merely held such power.But then he was yet to figure out why Perry's family doesn't see this.The doctor had administered some drugs to him and even gave him some injections to help relieve the pain.As he drove home, he placed a call to Morris. It rang twice, but Morris didn't pick it up.He groaned inwardly and pulled into his garage. His phone rang almost immediately, and he thought it was Morris.He glanced at the screen and realised it was his mother. He released a sigh and picked it up.“Where the heck are you? Why aren't you at home?” His mother yelled at him. She sounded very angry, and Nathan was shocked.What could have made her so angry?“I just pulled into the garage,” Nathan responded softly.“Get inside now! Your father and I are waiting,” she finishe
Dominance Commander Son-in-law Chapter 51: The truth
“Hello?” Mia said over the phone, jerking him out of his thoughts. Truly, something was amiss somewhere.“Can you give me a moment, please, Miss Mia? I will call you back instantly.”“Alright, no problem.”Nathan hung up and placed a call to Watson's family secretary. It rang several times, and just when Nathan was about to give up, he picked it up.“Hello, Young Master,” his phone sounded so dejected.“Is it true? That Miss Alessia has cancelled our collaboration?”There was a long sigh. “It is true. In fact, your father isn't taking this slightly. What have you done? What did you do? I hope you didn't meet with Miss Alessia and pestered her too much.” He bombarded him.Nathan was confused. “I don't understand. Why will I pester her? What was I supposed to pester her about? The only thing I needed her for then was to convince her to work with Perry's family. And since you did that, I didn't even need to meet with her again,” he explained himself.Another sigh. “You must believe I did
Dominance Commander Son-in-law 52: A call to back
Mia was shocked for what felt like a few hours. She couldn't believe what Kevin had said. It looked as though it was in fact the one that determined who Miss Alessia would sign with.“Is that all?” Kevin asked suddenly,pulling Mia out of her thoughts.“Yes, for now,” Mia assured and hung up. She stared at the phone for so long. Now, Kevin sounded very strange.Was she right when she thought Kevin was Alessia's lover? There was no going back in that thought. Now, Mia was not only worried but scared.She placed a call back to Nathan. She promised to give him feedback anyway. Nathan picked it up immediately, as if he had been waiting for her to call back.“Yes, have you arranged a meeting already?”Mia sighed. She didn't know what to say exactly. Was she supposed to tell him that Kevin had refused to help or just lie and tell him she couldn't help?“I'm sorry, Nathan, but I can't help you,“ Mia said instead and hoped Nathan would understand her.There were a few minutes of silence, accom
Dominance Commander Son-in-law 53: A call for help
Alessia looked at Jake, who was talking to one of her maids.“So, you have finally decided to let Jake stay?”Kevin nodded once. “It's not like he can protect me actually, but I've realised it's good having him around,” he explained with a shrug. “He can help me do some errands.”Alessia nodded once and moved to sit. “We've served the Watson's family the papers. We will meet in court by next week,” she informed.Kevin smiled. “Well done. Just make sure Oliver is doing fine. He's our only witness after all. With him, we will win the case.”Alessia regarded him for a moment. “You've changed,” she noted.Kevin looked up at her but didn't say anything.“I mean, this wasn't always the Lord Phoenix that I knew. This past year has changed you. You are more lenient.”Kevin laughed. “Really?”“Maybe just a slight change, actually. You are a man of great wisdom, but you don't always have the luxury of patience to tolerate someone's behaviour.”“You mean the Watson's family?”Alessia shook her h

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
