Dominance Commander Son-in-law 60
In the next few minutes, the Perry family was gathered in the office.“I thought Mia was the CEO. Why does this have to concern us?” Morris whined.“Then, you should let us talk about what you did with Nathan because that's why we are in this mess now!” Mia's father snapped.Morris adjusted in his seat but was unable to say a word.“Well, it wasn't like Morris was trying to cause any trouble!” Morris' father intervened. “He was only trying to help!”“We terminated our contract with the Watson's family. And in return, the Lille Group terminated their contract with us. Now, several other business partners have terminated their contract with us. Do you know what that means?” Mrs. Perry yelled, clearly annoyed at their outbursts.They all went quiet.“I'm sure you all don't even understand the consequences of all this. The Perry Group is in a dire situation. If we don't keep it wrapped now, we could go bankrupt!” she yelled.“And now, I've brought you all here so you can make up suggestio

“If he can help us, I believe we will be able to survive this crisis.” Mia finished and looked at the faces of her family members. They were staring at her with confused expressions. But she hoped they would believe her and let Kevin intercede.“Invite him to dinner tonight,” Mrs. Perry decided.“What! No way!” Morris protested immediately. “I don't know what Mia is trying to say, but to me, I don't think Kevin is someone you should give regard to.”“Well, we can always try unless you have a better idea,” Mia responded calmly.Morris chuckled. “You have to be kidding me. Inviting Kevin over for a talk is not even part of it. Kevin can't do anything. He was only trying to form for you.”Mia felt a bit annoyed at the fact that Morris was twisting her words and making everything complicated for her.“Then what will you say about the fact that Kevin met with the mayor, only for the Watson's family to lose their job in the demolition project? How?”Mrs. Perry's eyes widened with shock. “Wh

Mia released an exasperated sigh. She felt somehow instantly at the way her family members were talking. She already told them how she felt about Kevin. She didn't know why they didn't want to believe her.Even though she wasn't entirely clear about who Kevin really was, she had hints. She was just certain that Kevin could really help them if he wanted to.But then, maybe she shouldn't have invited him here. Seeing the remarks they are currently making was starting to make her feel regretful. What if they weren't able to change Kevin's mind and he ended up not agreeing to help them?The Perry family would be in real trouble. It's only a matter of time before the company collapses, and nothing will be left of them.“So, are you going to help or not?” “Kevin is not going to help, obviously. He can't help. He's just lying,” Morris remarked teasingly.“Yes! Or he seriously won't be on about this. He must have finally lost favour with Alessia,” Morris' father said.Kevin felt helpless beca

Kevin sighed and believed instantly that Mia’s motivation was not at all pure.Someone who had never allowed him to kiss her suddenly wanted him to sleep with her?It just wasn't even making any sense to him. “To apologise or to ask for help?” Kevin asked to be sure.There were a few minutes of silence, as if Mia was thinking about it. Then she took a step forward.“Like I said, we haven't even gotten divorced yet. So, just think of it as something we are doing as a couple that we are,” she muttered.Kevin scoffed. “Really?” He was shocked and sceptical.Mia nodded once. "Yes, or is there something else you want?”Mia was sure there would never be. Every man always dreamt of touching their wife, and Mia had refused Kevin for over a year now. There was nothing else he could want.Kevin inclined his head to one side as he pretended to be thinking about it. “Why do you think this is what I want?”Mia hesitated. “Our one-year anniversary was two weeks ago, and we have never kissed or even

Kevin was shocked at what he was looking at.Kevin regarded Mia for a moment. “Is this really what you want?” Mia shrugged briefly, “Does it matter?”Kevin scoffed. He wasn't only shocked; he was also disappointed.If Mia thought she could do this with him just because she wanted to safeguard the company, how was she so different from Hoes?And did she really think he was going to jump at the offer? “Are you not in the mood?” She said it seductively, swinging her hips towards him in a manner to entice her.Kevin scoffed. “I'm not doing this with you, Mia. And like I said earlier, your company won't go bankrupt.”My countenance changed immediately. She wasn't expecting the response that she got from Kevin.Mia was a curvy, beautiful woman. There was no way Kevin wouldn't even want to do this with her.“I'm not coming home tonight. So, you shouldn't wait for me,” he muttered, turning around and walking out without waiting for her to say something else.Mia watched him for a moment, unt
Dominance Commander Son-in-law 65: The attack
Meanwhile, in one of the biggest and most known clubs in the city, the Megaphone Club, Alessia and Kevin sat facing each other. There were a lot of drinks in front of them, with some steaks.“This is like the first time we will be having dinner together after so long.”Kevin smiled. “It has been too long. We sure should have done it sooner. I'm sorry for always cancelling my appointments.”Alessia laughed. “I know there will be plenty of time to do that anyway." Besides, aren't you going home tonight?”Kevin shook his head briefly and ate some of the steak. “I'm not going home tonight. So, be rest assured, I will be spending quality time with you.”Alessia nodded once. “I honestly think you should get a place in Penia City. You won't always need to go home. You can decide to stay in your new place,” she suggested.Kevin thought about it for a moment. “I will get back to you concerning it.”Alessia nodded again. “I will be expecting your response on it. By the way,” she hesitated slight
Dominance Commander Son-in-law 66: Ruined date
Again, his date with Alessia has been ruined.Alessia nodded quickly. “You should go quickly. I will find my way home,” she assured.Yet again, Kevin felt bad that his date with Alessia had to come to an end now, but then, Alessia was someone that had been with him for a while now. If anything, he shouldn't be worried about it.He could have as many dates as he wanted with Alessia. She was his safe haven.Kevin hadn't realised that Mia was around him. He didn't even notice. She looked at her table again, and there were four empty bottles of alcohol.Even with the way she was struggling with the men, one would be so sure she was drunk. What could have made her drink so much? Since he had known her for a year now, he knew she wasn't the type. Mia doesn't drink, let alone get drunk. She doesn't even like going to clubs. The men had successfully pulled Mia out of the club while he spoke with Alessia the other time, even despite her struggles. She was no match for the men's strength.He to

Kevin couldn't believe it. Why would the Lille family want to kidnap Mia?It just didn't make sense, and Kevin had questions but no answers.He opened the door and safely placed her on the passenger's side. He made sure she was safely locked before he moved to the driver's side.He got inside and hesitated briefly. He said he wasn't sleeping in the house that night, but it looked like that was what was going to happen. There was no way he would leave Mia in the middle of the road, drunk like she is, not even when there was a failed attempt to kidnap her.The whole issue still amused him. But then, there was now a way he would find out at that spot. He might need to ask Alessia for help.“Kevin?” A soft voice called.Kevin inclined his head towards Mia. She didn't open her eyes, and in fact, she didn't move from her position. It merely thought she was dreaming or just being drunk.Kevin didn't respond. There was no need to. Mia was drunk.“I'm sorry for what I've done to you. And for w

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
