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

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

“Can I return back to Penia's City today?” Philip asked.Anthony started to put the papers back inside the file. “No. You will have to wait for my lawyer to come so that you can leave together. So, you can book a flight for two back home. I will call him,” he assured.Philip smiled and bowed slightly. “I'm so happy for your help. Thank you so very much.Anthony nodded once and moved to Stephen, who stretched out his phone to him.“While you wait, you can find something else to do or something to eat. The house is your afterall,” Anthony muttered and stepped inside.Philip was filled with joy. He couldn't imagine that his problem would be gone within a twinkle of an eye.Stephen stood and patted him slightly before he stepped out of the house as well.After Anthony had called his lawyer, he told Philip to book a flight in the afternoon because the lawyer said he was going to be available in an hour. He did arrive in two hours. He and Philip went back to Penia City. Anthony and Stephen

Philip placed a call to Nathan as he and the lawyer got off the plane. Nathan didn't pick up though. So he called his wife instead.Betty picked it up immediately. “How did it go, Philip?”Philip was all smiles as he got inside the car, and the lawyer slipped inside beside him.“It went well. The Lille family agreed to help us. In fact, I'm on my way with a lawyer. I've been trying Nathan's number, but he's not picking up. I've just arrived at the airport, and I will be making my way home now. Prepare a place for the lawyer to stay.”“Yes! And the demolition project?”“He will handle it too. Mr. Anthony will speak with the mayor on our behalf, and we expect nothing but good results,” he explained.Betty released a sigh of relief. “That's so good to hear. I will prepare one of the rooms for him,” she assured.Philip nodded once as if Betty were near. “And get Nathan there as soon as possible. I will not condone any nonsense from him. Besides, he has a part to play in the mess he has re

Mrs. Perry opened the door and walked inside. There was concern and fear written all over her face.Mia got up when she entered.“What did you say happened?” Mrs. Perry asked. “Did Miss Alessia really decline our invitation?”Mia nodded once. “She did.”Mrs. Perry was worried. “Does that mean she's angry with us? What if she eventually terminates our contract?”Mia looked at her but didn't say anything. She also had no idea what was going on in Alessia's mind, but for no reason, she knew Alessia wouldn't terminate the contract. Unless Kevin wants it terminated. As much as she thought about it, she kept arriving at the conclusion that Kevin was the reason why Alessia hadn't terminated the contract, even though she was initially angry with them.So, as long as Kevin doesn't want it terminated, it wouldn't be.But because she wasn't really sure about this, she has refused to tell her grandmother. She wouldn't believe her anyway.“There must be a reason why she declined our invitation.““

When Kevin entered the room that evening,it was with this new type of confidence that Mia hadn't seen around him.He refused to talk to her concerning Watson's family. He wasn't even ready to initiate a conversation. So, Mia decided to let it go.Besides, her grandmother already passed judgment on them. There was no need to talk about it any more.But Mia still wanted to get to the root of the matter and confirm her suspicions, but Kevin was proving stubborn.That morning, he didn't say anything as well, aside from the regular “good morning." And for an unknown reason, he had decided not to eat with the family.As Mia stepped inside her office that morning, her phone beeped, and a new flash appeared on her screen. It was about the Watson family. Nathan was charged with attempted murder and assault. Mia's eyes widened with shock as she read the content. The news was currently trending as the number 2 on the Internet. The news about the return of the Lord Phoenix was the one still tre

Mia was still thinking about the Lille Group when a sudden knock sounded on the door.The door opened, and her secretary walked inside. There was a deep frown on her face. That was the second time in that day that she would be seeing such an expression. She looked worried and frightened. The first time was because the Lille Group cancelled their cooperation.But then, what could be the case now?“We have a huge problem,“ she announced.“What happened?”“We were supposed to deliver some goods to the Frederick Group.”Mia nodded once. “I signed it last week if I'm not mistaken.”"Yes, but unfortunately, when we got there and started offloading, Mr. Frederick said he wasn't interested in the goods again, and he wants us to return them.”What!“That doesn't make any sense. I mean, he paid for it already.Why would he want us to return it?”“Well, that's what I thought as well, but he forced the men to stop offloading. Our men had to put the goods back to our truck, and as we speak, they ar

Chapter “What?” Ellen asked.Mia was dumbfounded for another moment. Something was really happening. There was no doubt about it again.“Why aren't you talking?” Ellen asked anxiously. Mia released another sigh. “The Swiss company doesn't want to continue our cooperation.“Ellen couldn't believe it. “But they agreed to pay soon so we can deliver the goods. What happened?”Mia couldn't comprehend it herself. Something was definitely amiss. She looked at Ellen again. “When did the Lille Group decide to terminate the contract?”“Few hours ago.”Mia thought about it for another moment. If the other business partners were terminating after the Lille Group dud, then there could be a connection. “Try and find out if these companies have any connections.”Ellen nodded once and walked out of the office.Her phone rang almost immediately. She took it and stared down at the screen. It was one of their business partners. Mia hesitated, unsure whether to pick it up or not.It stopped ringing a
