2024-10-29 19:42:56“Kneel down and apologize to Sunny, now!”
Several servants were surrounding Kevin. Opposite him was a fierce dog, which was Morris's Sunny.
Morris thundered. His voice attracted some of the maids and they sneaked into the large lobby of the Perry family's villa.
Morris saw them but didn't say anything. His mission was to embarrass Kelvin like he used to anyway. With the maids around, it would make everything sweeter for him.
“Do you even know how high and important this dog is?” Morris began with a flex of his muscle. “This dog is more expensive than the whole of your family combined. I will not stand still and watch you disregard it!”
Kevin felt so humiliated, and he struggled hard, and said angrily, "It was your dog that bit me first! I’m just trying to protect myself!”
Morris scoffed. “Does it look like I'm concerned a bit about you? Aren't you the useless house husband of the Perry family?”
He said mockingly.
The maids laughed lowly and exchanged words quietly.
Something built inside Kevin. He felt a mixture of anger and sadness. For how long was he supposed to continue bearing the ill-treatment of the Perry family? As much as he was supposed to have gotten used to it by now, he was still a man.
When was he going to start acting like the man of the house?
“I will not apologize, Morris. The dog was being rude and I taught it a lesson. It wanted to bite me and I stopped it. If anyone should apologize, it should be you, on behalf of your dog.”
Morris went still for a moment and suddenly burst into laughter. He sobered up almost immediately and gave that wicked grin.
“Force him down!”
He ordered in a thick voice.
Three men advanced forward immediately. They caught Kelvin by his hands, pushed him towards the dog, and tried to force him to the floor. They could not do so until one of them eventually kicked Kelvin by his legs.
He was forced to kneel in front of Morris’ dog. Kelvin tried to stand up but the men pressed him firmly on the ground. So, he gave up.
The maids burst into laughter again.
“He's such a useless man, that's why he would apologize to Sir Morris' dog.”
“Well, the dog is worth more than him. So, technically speaking, he needs to worship his master, the dog for being rude.”
The maids exchanged words between themselves with scoffs and mocks.
Seeing Kelvin on the floor and hearing what the maids were saying about him gave Morris a great feeling of joy. He walked to stand in front of him with his arms spread wide.
“You know what, Kevin?”
Kevin looked up at him but didn't say anything.
“I will let you go if you agree to sign the divorce agreement with your wife. It shouldn't be so hard. Just sign the divorce agreement, wretched and I will be off your neck.”
What!
Kevin was baffled. “What do you mean? If Mia wanted a divorce, she would propose it herself...” he said stubbornly.
“Because I know the best for her. Besides, she will agree with me that you aren't the best one for her. So, I'm only interpreting what she wants.”
Kevin scoffed.
“Are you her mouthpiece? Do you have so little work to do that you now talk for her?”
Kevin didn't believe Morris. There was no way Mia would want a divorce now. Besides, Mia would lose her inheritance if she was divorced without a child. This was the family rule.
Morris felt a stab of annoyance at his words. He rushed at Kevin quickly and punched him hard in the face, forcing his head against the table.
The maids gasped as the table gave way and the glasses shattered on the floor.
Kevin felt a stab of pain and a strong headache set in.
“How dare you!” Morris yelled angrily. He rushed to grab Kevin by his collar.
He pulled Kevin up violently.
“Blood!” Some of the maids yelled and Kevin felt the blood streamed down his face.
He looked at the shattered table and realized he was bleeding.
A sharp pain penetrated him suddenly, and his head banged harder.
Some disordered memories suddenly flooded into Kevin's mind. For the past few years, he had been in a state of amnesia. All he knew was that Mia, the eldest daughter of the Perry family, had saved him and married him, making him a son-in-law of the Perry family.
However, no one in the Perry family treated him as a son-in-law; he was even worse than a servant in this family.
Nevertheless, after receiving a severe blow to his head, he unexpectedly found that he seemed to remember something.
He clutched his head and groaned in pain as those memories gradually began to resurface, but they brought him even greater pain than the injury on his head.
“No matter what! You will sign these divorce papers!” Morris clenched his teeth in anger, oblivious to the state that Kevin was currently in.
“I will not allow a lowlife like you to continue being the son-in-law of a prestige family like Perry! I will not allow that! Karim Mendy will marry my sister very soon!” He announced in a low deep voice, meaning to make Kevin jealous.
But Kevin wasn't replying to him. To Morris, Kevin was just playing one of his dumb games on him.
Kevin didn't hear him actually. His mind was going through a frenzy of thoughts. Flashes of images flickered across his eyes. He felt dizzy as strange memories filled his head. He closed his eyes in an attempt to shut it off but it couldn't be stopped. It felt like he was going crazy.
Sensing that Kevin was ignoring him, Morris’ anger turned to rage.
“How dare you!” He sneered, let go of him, and punched him hard on the nose.
Kelvin’s nose burst and Morris smiled at this. He punched him again, in the face and forced Kevin back to the floor.
Morris huffed. “He's so weak. Yet, he rebels against me? I am going to teach you a lesson you will never forget!” he swore, and tried to kick Kevin.
Kevin opened his eyes suddenly and caught Morris' leg in time. He held it for a moment, making it impossible for Morris to move despite how hard he struggled.
Then he pulled it, thereby throwing Morris on the ground.
Everyone around them stared in shock.

Morris groaned in pain and held onto his waist. He didn't expect Kevin to make such a move.He had never made such an intelligent move. How was he able to do it? Kevin has always been the dumb husband of Mia and he has enjoyed treating him badly for a year now.The men rushed closer to him and assisted him up. But he pushed them away angrily and turned to look at the maids who had been watching the whole drama unfold. He felt embarrassed."What are you still doing there!" He thundered. "Get lost!"The maids scampered away.Morris yelled several times before he turned to Kevin again. He was very upset. How could Kevin have made such a move and the men couldn't even stop it?"You are making a big mistake!" he yelled. "I'm telling you! You are!"Kevin didn't respond. A dark frown was on his face as he stood up slowly. More images flashed across his eyes. The dizziness increased but the headache was gone now. The images became clearer now but it seemed like his heart was racing as he wen

Mia frowned. She didn't expect that from Kevin at all. Within a year that she had known him, he was always timid but she didn't know where the courage suddenly came from.When Mia first met him, Kevin was not only timid but dense. This was even one of the reasons why she decided that he was fit to be her husband.But it was strictly a deal, Kevin wasn't supposed to act like a real husband. This was why they never slept together. They have never even shared a kiss since they have been married.But then how dared he demand to get involved in a business negotiation? Who has he started seeing himself as?Morris was shocked at Kevin's utterance too. Kevin has been acting really strange since a few minutes ago. Firstly, it was the skill he displayed. Now, he was being too bold.But before he could say something, Mendy cut in quickly."Well, you shouldn't be worried, Kevin. It's not like it's a new thing to us. Just last night, we were together in the same room in the hotel for a whole night
Dominance Commander Son-in-law Chapter 4: Regained memories
Kevin's words stunned everyone, but only Kevin himself knew the truth.Yes, he was the legendary "Lord Phoenix."Years ago, Kevin was ambushed by his enemies and met with an accident.He suffered head injuries and lost his memory. Fortunately, he was rescued by Mia, who happened to pass by.The Perry family was in turmoil at that time, and Mia, as the heir of the family, was on the verge of being stripped of her inheritance rights because she was unmarried.According to the Perry family's rules, only married individuals could take the helm of the family!Thus, Mia set her sights on Kevin, who had lost his memory and was somewhat timid. To her, Kevin was merely a tool to enable her to smoothly take over the family.Over the past few years, she had shown no concern for Kevin. Who would care about the feelings of a mere tool?But obviously, no one would believe his words.Mendy regarded Kevin for a few minutes and suddenly burst into laughter. "This your husband is a really humorous guy,
Dominance Commander Son-in-law Chapter 5: Phoenix's Underlying
Kevin has really missed her. He had known Alessia for a very long time now. So, it was normal for him to miss her.“It's ok, little cat. I'm here now,” Kevin comforted.Alessia dragged her breath. “Where have you been? I've searched everywhere for you. I just had to hope you would return to me unscathed. I'm so happy to hear your voice today,” she said excitedly.Kevin could easily note the happiness in her voice. He was so caught up with what Alessa was saying that he didn't notice Morris creeping inside.Morris walked back inside to look for a way to make Kevin do something wrong again by the time Mia came out so that Kevin would eventually leave the house. He couldn't wait for that to happen. Mia must marry Mendy at all costs.He watched him for a moment, with curiosity. He wondered who he was talking to. Kevin looked happy which was strange. This means that the person he was talking to was somewhat special to him.“It's ok, little cat. I'm back now,” he said softly, with a wide sm

Kevin nodded once and took the card from Mia.Mia moved towards the front door. She actually thought Kevin was going to refuse her order.But then he could be dumb but not that dumb. He was supposed to know that she was very busy which was why she had to ask him to do it.Besides, Kevin doesn't do anything else in the house. And she pays his bills, provides shelter and even feeds him. This was the least he could do for her.Kevin pocketed the card and walked out of the villa as well without any word.He flagged down a taxi. “Phoenix Plaza!”The driver nodded once and Kevin got inside the car. He couldn't wait to see Alessia again. A smile was on his face as the car pulled off in front of the plaza. He got down and handed over some wads of notes to the driver.He hesitated briefly before he walked inside. He stopped almost immediately, in the lobby when he saw Alessia standing with some men and women in expensive suits.He didn't expect to see Alessia amidst many people. He thought he

Kevin moved closer to her slowly.“I deserve to die, boss!” Alessia muttered, with her head bowed.Kevin ignored her words and gently pulled her up. “If I kill you, where do I get a new general Tiger, Little cat?” He teased.Alessia smiled softly and Kevin could remember the last time he had seen her smile. That was a year ago, just before the accident happened.He was on his way to Penia City in his private ship when he was ambushed. Kevin was asleep when he heard noises. When he walked out of his room, corpses were lying on the floor. Kevin was caught off guard. He rushed inside to grab his gun but even with that, he was suddenly feeling dizzy and his head hurt so much.Before he could say more, some men in black rushed out with guns in their hands.One of them fired a shot almost immediately but the ship moved to a side suddenly, making them miss their target.Kevin used the opportunity to shoot one of them and rush over to the ship’s Bridge. The helmsman was dead!He doesn't even
Dominance Commander Son-in-law Chapter 8: Finding a present for Mrs Perry
Alessia thought for a moment and a smile evaded her face. “I think I might have a good gift.”“Really?”Alessia nodded slightly and moved away. She moved to her bar and retrieved a bottle of wine.“This is the best gift,” she announced with a wide smile.Kevin moved closer and took the bottle of wine from her.“This is Domaine de la Romanée-Conti La Tache. It's one of the most expensive wines in the world. It costs over 200k dollars. If you give this as a gift to anyone, they will surely be happy and grateful about it.”Kevin nodded several times “This is the best gift. Thank you so much, Alessia.”Alessia reciprocated his smile. “Anytime, boss. Though, I think we still have a lot to catch up to.”Kevin nodded in agreement. “Sure, and there is plenty of time to do that. But I better leave now.”“Alright.”Alessia watched him until he was out of the office. She was more than happy and she would like if not anything, to show Lionel that he was wrong and Phoenix was alive but they were g

That was the last thing she wanted.She got up and hurried to stand in front of Mrs Perry. “Grandmother, please. Don't be offended!” She apologized with a trembling voice.It looked like everyone was against her already. If her grandmother get disappointed at her, it would be disastrous. Mendy laughed. At first, he thought it was true. He recognized Domaine de la Romanée-Conti La Tache immediately. His eyes went wide with shock when Kevin revealed it. It was the most expensive wine in the world but there was no way someone like Kevin would have it. It's just not possible unless it's truly fake like Mrs Perry has said.No, he was certain. Kevin was poor! Mrs Perry has a dark frown on her face. She was still fuming. “How dare you! How could you think so low of me!” She growled.

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.

“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

Kevin's gaze was on the principal as he eyed the phone in Kevin's hand while they both waited for the mayor to pick up.Eventually, the mayor picked up. Kevin put the call on loudspeaker. “Hello, Mr. Kevin.”The principal thought his heart would burst out of his chest when he heard the mayor's deep voice fill the room. He gently rubbed his temple. He had hoped to hear a ‘Hello, who is this?’ so he could call off his bluff. But the Mayor had recognised the number, which only means that his line was saved in the Mayor's phone.How is that possible? The man doesn't even look like anyone important enough to have the audience of the mayor, talk less of being the Lord Phoenix.“Mr. Kevin, are you there?” The mayor called out.Kevin cleared his throat. "Yes, I'm here. I just wanted to ask if you have done the necessary things concerning what we discussed and what feedback I should give.They heard the mayor mutter something under his breath before he said earnestly, “I'm so sorry for not r

The principal regarded the young man for a while, waiting to see the hint of a smile, waiting to see him wave his hand in the air and declare that it was a joke. But he didn't.The principal laughed anyway. “That was a good one, sir,” he said when he sobered up. The most amusing part for the principal was the straight face with which he said it. Most people would burst into laughter merely five seconds after uttering their jokes. When the principal saw the serious look that was still on the man's face, he chuckled again. “Goodness! Are you a comedian? Or you were once one? I'll pay to watch you perform live.”Kevin didn't laugh or smile. He just deadpanned, "It wasn't a joke, Mr. Principal; I'm not here to crack jokes. Neither am I a comedian nor was I once. I meant my words. I am the Phoenix Lord, Lisa's—Kevin's words were cut short as the principal, once again, lost his rein on his laughter and laughed boisterously.He covered his mouth when he was done. In between broken chuckles
