Dominance Commander Son-in-law 89
Kevin walked into Euphoric Company for his second day on the job. Luckily, he was here early so he wouldn't get into trouble with Garrett. He blended into the morning rush of employees as they settled into their tasks. Though he was here undercover, there was something exciting about it all. It was funny, really. The fact that nobody knew who he really was made him almost laugh. He liked the anonymity. It allowed him to observe and understand this company from a new angle. He looked at his updated work schedule, quickly noting the shifts he'd been assigned. To his relief, tomorrow was an off day—an opportunity he’d gladly take. That way, he could spent more time overseeing the launch of his new company and making sure things ran smoothly.Just as he was about to settle into his shift, his phone buzzed. Glancing at the screen, he saw Alessia’s name flashing, and a small smile formed on his lips as he picked up.“Alessia,” he greeted“Hey, Kevin! I’ve got great news,” she replied in e

Alessia stepped into the spacious house. The place was beautiful and sun lit. She was immediately captivated by how beautiful the space was. Large windows filled each room with natural light, and every corner seemed designed to feel welcoming. She took her time moving through each room. She pictured Howard and Irene here, living comfortably. They deserved it. They deserved to be happy. They'd faced a lot of hardships recently. She smiled as she thought of how excited they would be.Without another second of hesitation, Alessia took out her phone and dialed Kevin.“Hello, boss,” she greeted when he picked up "I found it—the perfect house for Howard and Irene."“That’s great to hear. Do you think it’ll suit their needs?”“Absolutely. It’s in a safe area, plenty of room, good schools nearby… They’re going to love it. It’s exactly what they need to rebuild.”“Then go ahead and make the payment. And make sure they’re moved in as soon as possible. Is it in the OK Harbour Residential area?”

Mia blinked, looking at Morris in disbelief. She was half-expecting him to crack a smile and say he was joking. When he didn’t, she felt her disbelief turn into anger. “Excuse me?” Mia shrieked "What did you just say?"Morris smirked. He was calm as if he just asked Mia to change her fashion brands, not walk away from her life's work. “You heard me. Let’s be real, Mia. This company would be better off with someone who isn’t… so emotionally attached.”Emotionally attached? Mia’s jaw tightened. The words almost felt like a slap. She took a slow deep breath. “So that’s your big solution, then? Just push me aside? I shouldn’t be surprised. This is what you’ve wanted all along, isn’t it, Morris?”Morris shrugged “I’m just being practical. Emotions have no place here. You could take some time, focus on yourself, maybe let someone else take the reins for a change.”“Focus on myself,” she laughed bitterly. “How considerate. And here I thought I could count on my own team to stand behind me.

Kevin yawned again before he looked back at the monitor. Something caught his eyes on the monitor by his right. Two people were standing, facing each other, and it looked like they were in trouble.Kevin couldn't really hear what they were saying, but he kept watching them, looking for signs. Just then, the man hit the lady in the face.That was the cue.Kevin dialled the number he was given to dial in case something like this happened. “Hello,” a voice picked up quickly. “What's the issue?”“There seems to be an issue in Unit 09, more like assault. So, you should go there to check it out.”“On it,” the voice responded, and the line went off.Kevin waited, his eyes still on the monitors, as if to prevent the man from escaping. It didn't take long though when a security guard walked up to them.Kevin relaxed in his chair. All done!He glanced at his watch slightly; he has a few minutes left before closing hour. And maybe Mia would take him home that day as well.Though they were yet t

Alessia released a sigh, trying her best to calm down. Mia would definitely regret it for the rest of her life if she decided to come through.“Mia doesn't know who she is messing with. I will keep quiet for your sake, but she shouldn't try to cross my path.”Kevin smiled softly. “It's ok, actually.Besides, I won't be with her forever.”Alessia released a sigh. “Better. She doesn't even deserve to be called the Phoenix Heart.”She doesn't, Kevin agreed. Besides, Lord Phoenix can handle himself. But that wouldn't change the fact that he was the boss, and as one of his underlying concerns, his health and safety were a priority. “Besides, it's a great cover now. No one will ever guess I'm Lord Phoenix with such a cover."That was right too.“Well, I have something else to tell you. Anthony showed up in the company today. He must be shocked not to be able to find Ian, but then someone else is taking over the company already.”Alessia thought about it for a moment.“You should teach him so

The moment Kevin opened his eyes, they rested on the digital alarm clock. His eyes widened momentarily.“8:00AM?" He murmured, his brows slightly furrowed as he massaged his right temple. Then he sluggishly pulled himself out of bed. He stopped by the alarm clock, picked it up and turned it over a few times. “This thing must be faulty,” he commented as he dropped it and made his way straight to the bathroom, making a mental note to replace it.The previous night, he had set the alarm to wake him earlier than that. Though, he normally never needs an alarm. But he had a stressful day the previous day and he slept late. So the alarm hadn't done its required job. Although, he suspected that it tried to get its job done but he probably turned it off when his system was still drugged by sleep. He didn't feel like his usual agile self this morning. His body yearned to return to the inviting softness of the bed, but he knew better than to give into that urge.He needed to be at his newly lau

Kevin's brows slightly furrowed as he munched slowly. “O'Brien? Doesn't ring a bell. What is the family like?”Lionel shrugged, "I have no idea. I'm yet to look into them but I'm sure they're not bad. Since the Mayor specifically chose them, I'm certain that they wouldn't be like the Watson family.”“They better not be," Kevin said firmly.“They won't," Lionel said, certain that the Mayor has made a good choice but he added anyway, “I will look them up in my free time.”"That will be good. It never hurts to take preventive measures."Almost immediately, Alessia piped up. "That reminds me, Kevin. What about the Howards?” Kevin looked up at her, his brows raised."What do you intend to do concerning his frozen account?” She elaborated. She was glad she remembered to talk about this before he left again. "Yeah, about that," Kevin muttered as he massaged his forehead. “I was thinking… we'd need to invite the manager of his bank for that, yes?”"That would be the best option,” Lionel supp

As Amy made her way out of the interview room, headed for her office, she turned back to see the secretary running after her. So she stopped walking.“Goodness, you walk so fast for a lady,” the secretary panted. "And in those heels?" She added as her gaze dropped on the manager's feet when she bowed down to catch her breath.Amy shrugged, a small smile on her lips. “When you wear them everyday, you'd get used to it."The secretary shook her head. “Anyway, the boss will like to see you.""Okay, thanks,” Amy nodded, her intended location switching to the boss’ office. When she turned around to leave, the secretary stopped her.“Also there's an instruction he gave and I suspect that he might have made a mistake."Amy's brows pulled together. "What type of mistake is that?”"I think he mixed up a name,” she said with a worried shake of her head.Before Amy could make further inquiry, the secretary's phone rang.The secretary put her palm up. “Please, let me take this call, I'll be right

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
