Dominance Commander Son-in-law Chapter 10: Surprise gifts
The response got Mrs Perry super furious. She couldn't quite contain the anger building up inside her. She looked at Kevin with hatred emanating from her eyes. “You are so shameless! How dare you make the whole Perry family awkward! How dare you as the son-in-law of this family!”Mia was so awkward. She couldn't confidently look at her cousins. She felt embarrassed. Yet, she turned to Kevin, brimming fire.“What do you think you are doing, Kevin?” She yelled at him instead. “When will you stop making trouble here? What is wrong with you!” She scolded him.Mendy laughed, feeling pleased with himself. He was so happy that Kevin was helping him with his plan.He decided to further make use of the opportunity.“In fact,” Mendy said suddenly, turning attention back to him. “I know the senior manager of Phoenix Group and well, he can also help the Perry family to cooperate with them. But then, that wouldn't work if they knew the son-in-law of the Perry family had offended the owner of the P
Dominance Commander Son-in-law Chapter 11: Divorce the Useless son-in-law
How did Phoenix Group hear of Mrs Perry's birthday party?Everyone was shocked.The man cleared his throat meaningfully when no one replied to him. “Sorry, may I know who Mrs Perry is?” He asked again as everyone was too shocked to say a word.Phoenix Group is one of the most important and influential groups in Falcone state. Sending gifts to someone like Perry's family was considered a high honour.“She's our grandmother!” Morris said quickly.Mrs Perry moved forward, with a wide smile on her face. “I am. Did you say you are from Miss Alessia Anderson?”The man nodded once. “Yes ma’am. And here is what she has for you_”Just as he said this, four men walked inside carrying one or two things. They walked to Mrs Perry and started presenting the gifts to her.Mrs Perry took the first gift with a sudden gasp. “Is this Chinese Famille-Rose Baluster Vase?”The man nodded with a smile. “Very well, ma’am.”Mrs Perry couldn't believe it. She ran her fingers around the vase. She had seen a pic
Dominance Commander Son-in-law Chapter 12: Group of Clowns
Henry moved closer to be able to see the wine very well.He made a nod of his head. “There's no way I will be mistaken.”“Are you sure?” Mrs Perry probed further.Henry nodded again. “I mean this wine is definitely from the CEO. There's no way it will be a fake. She got it at the auction,” He explained further.Mrs Perry was confused for a moment. She looked at Kevin. Could that be right? If the wine was really real, then Kevin got such an expensive wine for her birthday. And that's all that matters!“How hard did you work to have been able to afford this wine?” She asked because she didn't believe that Kevin was truly Alessia's friend. The thought of it made her laugh.Mia looked at Kevin, shocked. “Is that true? The wine is real and you are really a friend of the CEO?”Even though she found it hard to believe, little facts were staring right at them.Kevin felt it was ridiculous and couldn't answer. Mia chose to believe everything she heard from people and not him. There was no poin
Dominance Commander Son-in-law Chapter 13: A pissed wife
Amidst the jubilation, Morris and Mendy couldn't discuss. But Morris was constantly looking at him.Morris could see that Mendy was angry and he knew what that would be for him. He needed to pacify him.“Grandmother! Don't you think Mr Mendy should be invited to the party as well?” Morris said suddenly.“That's right!” One of Mia's cousins, Rosaline added quickly. “Mr Mendy should really be invited,” she said teasingly.“Yes, he's not like some useless son-in-law!” Another supported.“Yes, mother. I also think he should be invited,” Morris' father, Philip said eventually. He had been quiet since the party started.Mia groaned inwardly. She could not talk. She felt even more embarrassed. Mrs Perry nodded once. “That's right. Mr Mendy Karim is invited to the business party that will come up in two days,” she announced.Morris nodded happily and looked at Mendy.“Thank you so much, Mrs Perry,” Mendy responded, with a sly smile. He couldn't stop thinking of how Kevin could have gotten
Dominance Commander Son-in-law Chapter 14: Don't keep Phoenix waiting
Kevin woke up earlier and walked back to the room. He knocked several times and when Mia didn't respond, he pushed the door open.“What do you think you are doing here?” Mia's cold voice boomed suddenly.She was at the dressing table, applying makeup on her face.“Good morning, i_”“You didn't answer my question,” she cut in harshly. Her voice was not only cold but brutal. Kevin could hear the hatred emanating from it.Kevin released a sigh. “I want to use the bathroom. You didn't let me sleep here last night. Should I not wash this morning?”Mia scoffed. “Why should I be concerned if you wash or not? You don't even have a job you resume every morning,” she turned to look at Kevin. “Your only job was to be the best husband.”Kevin released a sigh of frustration. Not again! He had no strength to pursue it.“You should be ready to apologize to my grandmother.”“And why should I do that? Mr Henry confirmed that the wine was indeed authentic. What should I be apologizing for?”Mia scoffed
Dominance Commander Son-in-law Chapter 15: The invitation
Alessia walked to her desk and pulled out the drawer. She took a card and walked back to Kevin.“I've had this prepared for you the moment I established this plaza,” she explained and stretched out a black card with edges of gold.Kevin took it and regarded it for a moment. It had “Kevin Di Lorenzo” boldly inscribed on it.“It's a black card specially made for you. I knew you didn't die. So, I had a certain amount deposited in it every time. I don't know how much you have it in now but it's big enough for a black card,” she explained.Kevin felt impressed. A smile tugged at the corner of his lips. “Impressive,” he remarked.Alessia smiled, feeling proud of herself. It looked like Lord Phoenix was proud of her. “I knew you were going to show up. I just didn't know when. I didn't for once lose hope on you.”Kevin looked at her and patted her on the head. “That's why you are my little cat.”Alessia blushed slightly.“Since you are leaving for the Falcone state, I will book you a flight i
Dominance Commander Son-in-law Chapter 16: Ruckus at the Airline
Kevin arrived at the airport. Alessia booked him a first-class seat. He didn't know about it until it was time to leave.If Kevin had known, he wouldn't have allowed her. But then, it wasn't everything he would be stopping Alessia from doing.She was his person after all.Kevin entered the plane and walked to the first-class seat. He found his number after searching for a while.A woman was already sitting by the windowside. His seat was beside her.The woman screamed suddenly as Kevin sat beside her. Kevin was so startled that he stood up, thinking there was something on the seat. “Is something wrong?” He asked, concerned when he didn't see what was wrong with the seat.“No way!” she screamed again, ignoring his question.Kevin was confused. She wrinkled her nose as if there was a disgusting smell coming from somewhere around her. “Someone needs to get here this moment!” She yelled the more.Her shriek attracted people around. Everyone started to gather around to see what was reall
Dominance Commander Son-in-law Chapter 17: Unexpected turn
The stewardess felt a stab of annoyance. Kevin was not only poor but also stubborn. She thought she could let things go away quietly and save his face. That was her being kind but she wouldn't do that anymore.“Leave now and you won't be arrested. If you get arrested, you will never be allowed on Phoenix Airlines again,” The stewardess warned. “Not that you will be able to afford it anyway,” she mocked.People around them laughed.“Exactly!” The woman from earlier supported her. “I just don't know how he was able to sneak past the guards. Phoenix Airway is way better than this. I don't expect this kind of thing here!”The stewardess turned to the woman with an apologetic expression. “I'm so sorry ma’am. We will take care of the whole situation,” she apologized.Everyone who has ever used Phoenix Airways is always rich, and the stewardess knew how much that would help her. Most of the time, he could get tips. So, she didn't want to offend anyone.“Don't worry, everything is going to be

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

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
