It was eight in the night when Jake pulled in front of Perry's villa.“Should I pick you up tomorrow, sir?”Kevin nodded once, even though he wasn't yet sure how tomorrow would be. But then he was sure that he would definitely be leaving home tomorrow.Besides, he still needed to meet and talk to Louis concerning his plans.He walked inside. It was late in the night. So, no one was in the living room.Kevin thought perhaps Mia was even asleep now. Well, if she was. Then, he might have to wait to talk to her the next day.The reason he was intentionally coming late was because of her family anyway.“I thought you were coming early,” a soft voice said suddenly as Kevin started towards one of the maid rooms.Kevin stopped in his tracks and turned towards where the voice came from. Mia was standing by the fridge. She opened it and pulled out a bottle of water.She took a sip and turned to look at Kevin. “I've been waiting for you.”“I had a lot to do.”Mia gathered her brows amazingly.“A

Kevin couldn't believe it. “A bath, with you?”Or did he heat wrong?Mia hesitated briefly, as if thinking about it. “I said what I said. I don't like to be indebted to anyone, just like you.”Kevin was surprised. Indeed, she was definitely up to something. How could such a matter be something they would be dragging?”“I thought all these things were supposed to happen between two couples that are in love with each other. Why must it happen over a deal between you?”Mia frowned, bothered. “So, you won't have it with me?”Kevin released a ragged sigh. “I will resume tomorrow then if thats what you truly want.”Mia squeezed his head in concentration.She wouldn't lie, but the response hurt her.“Are you saying you will rather work than do stuff with me?”Kevin didn't know where the allegations were coming from. He merely thought that Mia was doing all she could to make sure Kevin started working at Euphoric Bio. She knew he would eventually succumb if she pressed further.Or was there mo

Mia woke up that morning feeling indifferent. She slept late because she was busy thinking about Kevin.But she knew she had to eat with the family that morning, especially since Morris already said he was going to tell the home family what Kevin had been up to.She was already dressed before breakfast. She thought she might also drive Kevin to work. With that, she would be able to monitor Kevin's every movement.Mia looked at Morris as everyone settled down for breakfast.Morris also looked at her, as if silently reminding her what he had promised to do.“Grandmother! Mia has offered Kevin a position in the company.”Everyone turned to look at Mia, as if they couldn't believe what she had done.She expected it, though. She knew the day would come and her family would question her. She made the decision alone anyway.“What?” It was Morris' father that spoke. Even her father looked disappointed, but she wasn't even expecting much to begin with.“What will that useless husband of yours

Kevin was impressed. He has always been impressed with Howard, but he was sure not expecting what he did.“How did you survive though? I thought you were dead.”Howard shook his head briefly. “I wasn't dead, but I thought I was as well.”Kevin laughed.Howard unbuttoned his shirt by the collar and pulled one of the arms aside to reveal a wound by his chest, just close to his heart.“Actually, I was in coma for five months. The doctor said I escaped death briefly. The bullet almost hit my heart. It was a near-death experience,” he explained.“If the gun had moved a bit, it would have penetrated his heart. And he would have died instantly,“ Irene explained.“But then I was forced to retire because of my injury.”Kevin felt sad for him. Howard had to pass through such an ordeal because of him.He stepped forward and pulled Howard into a hug.Howard was shocked for a moment. He hadn't expected it. Kevin used to be a big boss, someone he didn't dare stand in front of, talking more of huggi
Dominance Commander Son-in-law 77: The plan
Mia was half upset and worried. Maybe she should have confronted Kevin about it and made sure he told her the truth before she let her family know.But then, she couldn't control that in some way since it was Morris that actually told her family. And she and Kevin already had a disagreement the night before.Maybe, just maybe they could discuss it at work that day.Also, she wanted to talk to Morris. She wondered why he didn't tell the whole family that he was cheating, or maybe he doesn't even have any evidence to back up his claim.She pulled into the garage, got out of the car, and went inside the company.Her secretary met her in the elevator. “Get Kevin to see me now.”Her secretary bowed and walked out of the elevator before it would close.When Mia got inside her office, she dropped her bag and awaited Kevin. She believed they would need to settle the issue before any work that morning.Though she knew that if she wanted Kevin to continue to work in Euphoric Bio, she wouldn't h

“What?”“Does that mean there will be a party? I'm from Landary Province." Alessia asked.Kevin nodded once. “There will be. That's why I said I would move people's expectations to Landary Province. We will need these people to strike again to get them.”Louis nodded once. “That's right. Everyone that has requested to see Lord Phoenix will attend. Something will definitely happen.”Alessia nodded several times. “You are right. The Lord Phoenix is very right. We need to drive them out.”Kevin nodded once. “Exactly how it will be, but we will discuss more when I settle down in Landary Province,“ he assures them.“I have someone in Landary Province; I will let you know when I get an office space for you,” Louis assured.Kevin nodded once.“And if I see anything around in Penia City, I will let you know,” Alessia said as well.“Boss, I've prepared some dishes for you,” Cindy said suddenly.Kevin smiled. “Thank you for that. I think I have to eat now. I still have to get somewhere,” he mut

He walked to the secretary desk. “Hi,” he called softly to gain her attention.The secretary ignored him and continued to rummage through her desk for something he had no idea of.“Excuse me?” Kevin called again.The secretary finally looked up, but the dirty stare she sent Kevin was enough to last him for a decade.“Can't you see that I'm busy? I'm looking for something!” She snapped.Kevin was taken aback. How could she be so rude? It was as if she had something against him already.“I don't mean to. I mean, I am here because your boss.“I know! Aren't you Kevin, the boss husband?”Kevin hesitated. “Then you should know why I am here.”"Yes, but you will give me some minutes to get myself sorted out. I didn't come here for you.”Kevin scoffed. He was shocked and disappointed. How could Mia's secretary be talking like this to him?Well, he wasn't really shocked anyway. Mia secretary must have seen the family abusing him. Now, it's not even a big deal to her again.“Are you going to w
Dominance Commander Son-in-law 80: Negotiation gone wrong
Jake was outside, waiting for Kevin. Kevin got out of the company and entered the car.“Start the car. We need to be there as soon as possible. I've shared with you the address of where we are going.”"Yes, boss, I've seen it.”The place of the venue was the company, and it was a bit far from Euphoric Bio. Kevin arrived at the location ten minutes before the allocated time expired.Mane Publishing Company was a big one. On the way, Kevin had done some research. Mane Publishing Company used to be one of the top twenty publishing companies in Penia City, but that was before the CEO fell sick a year ago. Apparently, they have been managing his health so well that no one had time to follow up on the company.So, it started dwindling in sales. And when he died, there was a lot to do in the company. Though Kevin didn't understand why they could take up the job of publishing the article that they did about Anthony. Because even at that time, the name of the company has slowly moved from th

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
