Mysterious Billionaire: The Son-in-Law They Never Wanted Chapter 132
Helen sat in the sterile, bright waiting area of the hospital, her mind a jumble of worry and fear. The fluorescent lights above buzzed softly, casting an unnatural pallor over everything. Her hands gripped a small, worn-out clutch she had managed to keep with her, though it now felt like a lifeline to a world that seemed distant and unrecognizable.Time dragged on, each tick of the clock on the wall amplifying her anxiety. Nurses and doctors moved in and out, their faces a mix of professional detachment and concealed empathy. Helen's gaze darted to every new arrival, hoping for any sign, any news about Davin. The seconds felt like minutes, and minutes like hours.Her thoughts drifted back to the harrowing moments before the ambulance arrived. Davin’s condition had been dire, his breathing ragged and his face pale against the darkened backdrop of the street. The young woman who had helped her, though a stranger, had been a beacon of hope. Helen had caught her name Laura as she answere

Helen stretched as best she could in the stiff, uncomfortable waiting room chair, feeling the morning light warm her face. Her thoughts were a blend of fatigue and apprehension; the previous night's vigil had drained her both physically and emotionally. Laura stirred beside her, blinking groggily in the daylight."Good morning," Laura said softly, stretching as well."Good morning," Helen replied, managing a tired smile. "I hope you slept a little better than I did."Laura nodded. "I did get a few hours. It was hard, though. How are you holding up?"Helen sighed. "I’m trying to stay positive, but it’s difficult. I’m just so anxious about Davin. I keep replaying the events of last night in my mind."Laura nodded sympathetically. "It’s completely understandable. It must be incredibly hard to wait like this. Do you need anything? Maybe some coffee or something to eat?"Helen shook her head. "No, thank you. I’m not sure I could keep anything down right now. But I appreciate the offer."La

All through that evening, Helen's eyes were fixed on the clock, the hands crawling forward with torturous slowness. Laura, sensing Helen’s increasing tension, kept up a steady stream of conversation, but her own anxiety was palpable.Suddenly, the door to the waiting area swung open, and Dr. Reynolds walked in with an unusual expression, a mixture of disbelief and urgency. Helen’s heart leapt at the sight of him.“Mrs. Davin?” Dr. Reynolds called out, approaching them. “I need to speak with you immediately. It’s about Davin.”Helen’s breath caught. “What’s happened? Is he all right?”Dr. Reynolds motioned for her to follow him to a quieter corner of the waiting room. Laura, noticing Helen’s distress, stayed close behind. As they reached an area in the hospital's lobby, Dr. Reynolds looked both anxious and relieved. “There’s been a development. We’ve been reviewing Davin’s condition closely, and something rather unexpected has come to light.”Helen’s eyes widened with a mix of fear an

Helen and Davin left the hospital room, the sterile scent of the corridor. Laura, trailing behind them, kept a close eye on Helen, who was a whirl of conflicting emotions: relief, worry, and an unyielding determination.As they reached the hospital’s lobby, Davin turned to Helen. “Babe, I'm sorry if I'll have to go to the extent of finding and revenging these men.”Helen nodded, her eyes scanning the area. "I can't judge you for it, dear…but there's one thing I desire." Davin's eyes widened, "... And, what's that?""I'll want to be a part of it… Let’s start with the route we took.”Davin led the way, his steps quick and purposeful. Helen and Laura followed, their footsteps echoing softly in the quiet hospital. The three exited the building and made their way to Helen’s car, a sleek Mercedes parked just outside.Once inside, Helen took the wheel, and Davin directed her, guiding her through the city streets toward the route they had taken earlier that day. ***********The city was al

Davin’s phone buzzed on the passenger seat as Helen drove through the quiet streets on their way back to the hospital. He lowered his eyes into the screen, and it displayed an unknown number. With a slow swipe, he answered the call."Hello?"A smooth, authoritative voice greeted him. “Davin, I presume?”“Who’s calling?” Davin’s tone was steady, revealing nothing of his inner thoughts.“My name is Nicholas,” the caller said, his voice calm and deep.“I would like to invite you for a formal deal." He said. " Why not meet me at the Sterling Hotel tonight?"Davin pondered for a moment, his mind racing, "What meeting exactly?" He asked. "I thought you're a man, a business man shouldn't be asking what meeting it is, as far as it is promising!" Nicholas yelled.Davin chuckled, his voice echoing from the other side of the phone, "That's interesting… you'll see me, then." He said. Nicholas clapped, "Now you're talking …Come alone.” he snarled and ended the call. Before Davin could respond, t

Davin’s decision to surrender was a calculated move. He knew his strength and skill would allow him to overpower the men if necessary, but for now, he needed to gather crucial information. With a steely resolve, he allowed himself to be subdued, keeping his thoughts focused on the task at hand.The four masked men dragged him down a narrow corridor. Davin’s mind raced, assessing every detail of their surroundings. He needed to stay up to extract as much information as possible and plan his next move. His composure remained intact despite the rough handling.They arrived at a small, stark room where Nicholas awaited, his smirk betraying his self-satisfaction. Nicholas stood with a glass of wine in hand, his eyes gleaming with mockery.“Davin,” Nicholas greeted, his voice laced with contempt. “I see you’ve chosen to join us. I didn’t think you’d give in so easily.”Davin met Nicholas’s gaze with an unflinching stare. “What is this all about?”Nicholas’s smile widened as he poured wine

Dust and smoke choked the air as the tremors from the explosion subsided. Davin sprinted through the narrow corridor, his heart pounding in sync with the chaotic noises echoing from every direction. He glanced back only once to see Nicholas struggling against his grip. The panicked fear on Nicholas’s face was almost satisfying, but Davin knew better than to let his guard down.The emergency exit door loomed ahead. Davin reached it, yanking it open to reveal a dark, spiraling staircase leading down. He bolted down the stairs, the sound of his footsteps reverberating off the metal walls. Each step was a race against time and chaos, his thoughts racing faster than his legs could carry him. He could hear the muffled sounds of gunfire and shouting from above, the battle still raging fiercely.At the bottom of the stairs, Davin burst into a dimly lit basement. The room was cluttered with old crates, barrels, and discarded machinery. He took a moment to catch his breath, scanning the space f

The morning sun cast a dim light over the wreckage of the building. Davin and Helen’s team moved tactically, clearing debris and ensuring the area was secure. Despite their success, an undercurrent of tension lingered in the air. Nicholas’s capture was a victory, but it felt incomplete a temporary respite in a larger, unresolved conflict.As they prepared to transport Nicholas, Helen pulled Davin aside. Her face was set in a determined expression, her eyes reflecting both fatigue and resolve.“We need to debrief and plan our next steps,” Helen said, her voice low but firm. “Nicholas might be in custody, but we still don’t know the full extent of his operation or his network.”Davin nodded, his thoughts already racing through the implications. “I agree. We need to gather intelligence and assess the threat. If Nicholas has allies or resources, they could pose a significant danger.”Helen’s gaze softened slightly. “You’ve been through a lot. Let’s get Nicholas secured and then we’ll foc

While Helen was at the cafeteria, she ordered for a bottle of water for Davin, then for herself she got coffee and sandwich which she had to eat there. She already felt tired and a little bit shaken by the travel they had taken to get all the way to the hospital, nevertheless she didn’t like hospital that much because it brought back memories of her past. While eating, Davin phone began to ring in her bag, he had given it to Helen to keep it safe in her bag. She had thought at first that it was one of Davin’s associates calling because of business but her thoughts were wrong when she brought out the phone from her bay to see that it was an unknown caller with no caller ID at all. It wasn’t her phone neither was it her call so she saw no reasons to pick up the call, her plans was to quickly finish up the sandwich and then head to the waiting room to give Davin his call, she resumed eating her sandwich will the phone kept ringing until it stopped ringing. There was no way of her kn

Helen and Davin both had unsaid words that lingered but they were most especially weighed down by Davin’s mother current situation. They sat at the waiting room quietly while Maya had excused herself to the cafeteria. The sedative were still kicking in Margrets’s blood stream as she slowly recovered from it, the sudden news of her sickness and then the transfer from one to hospital to another even made them question the severity of her sickness, was she deteriorating in health yet the doctors kept it a secret? Many thoughts ran through Davin’s mind, what did the nurse mean by she was only stable for a while? “Davin-I guess we should go eat something” “I am not hungry” Davin replied absentmindedly and then returning to his thought “You won’t seat there and tell me that-I won’t watch you keep thinking about thing you can’t change” Helen objected in a calm and soft way “I could changed all of this, by not allowing it to happen in the first place” Davin replied looking H

“Davin! Helen!” she called out, her voice loud enough to attract the attention of other visitors. “I heard about Mom. Is she okay?”“Maya,” Davin said, keeping his voice steady. “What are you doing here?”“I came to support my family,” she said, tilting her head slightly. “Isn’t that what family does?”Helen shot Davin a look, and he felt the tension rise between them. “Support?” he echoed, doubt lacing his tone. “Or to make sure everyone knows you’re here?”Maya laughed, a sound that felt more like a challenge. “Oh, come on. I know you’re not happy about my wedding plans, but can we not turn this into a competition? This is about Mom.”“Right. Let’s just focus on her,” Davin said, frustration boiling beneath the surface. “But don’t pretend that you aren’t looking for attention.”“Seriously, Davin?” Maya shot back, her voice sharp. “You think I’m here for a show? I’m worried about her too, you know.”“You have a funny way of showing it,” he replied, crossing his arms.“Enough,” Helen

Davin sat at the dinning table, a half-finished cup of coffee in front of him, flipping through a stack of paperwork from work. The morning sun streamed through the window, casting a warm glow, but a sense of unease gnawed at him. Just then, Helen burst into the room, her face a mix of urgency and concern.“Davin! We need to talk,” she said, her voice tight with anxiety.He looked up, instantly alert. “What’s wrong?”“It’s your mother. I just got a call from the hospital. She’s seriously ill,” Helen said, her words tumbling out in a rush. “They’re flying her out of Arctic City for specialized medication.”Davin’s heart sank. “What do you mean, ‘seriously ill’? What’s going on?”“They didn’t give me all the details, just that she needs immediate treatment,” Helen replied, her eyes brimming with concern. “They’re arranging a private jet to get her to the mainland for the best care.”“Why didn’t they call me?” he asked, rising from the table, the papers scattering as he stood.“I think t

As they finished their ice cream, Mia let out a satisfied sigh, her face smeared with chocolate and mint. Davin couldn’t help but chuckle at her delight. “You’ve got a bit of ice cream on your nose, kiddo,” he teased, reaching over with a napkin.Mia giggled, swiping at her nose with the back of her hand. “It’s part of the experience!” she declared with the seriousness of a gourmet critic. “Then I suppose I’m not allowed to clean you up,” Davin replied, exchanging a knowing glance with Helen. The sun shone brightly overhead, and the market was a riot of colors and sounds. Families milled about, vendors called out their wares, and the laughter of children filled the air. The moment felt suspended in time, a perfect snapshot of happiness that Davin wished could last forever.“Let’s take a stroll down by the river after this,” Helen suggested, finishing her ice cream. “I heard they have a small arts and crafts fair set up along the walkway.”“Great idea! Mia, what do you think?” Davin

The next morning, Davin stirred awake, his thoughts drifting back to the previous night’s adventures. He felt a warmth in his chest, a comforting reminder of the laughter and connection he had shared with Helen. As he stretched and yawned, he could hear the faint sounds of Mia playing in the backyard.After quickly showering and dressing, Davin made his way to the kitchen. The rich aroma of fresh coffee greeted him, and he poured himself a cup, savouring the first sip. Just then, Helen appeared, her hair tousled and eyes still sleepy.“Good morning, sleepyhead,” he said, a smile breaking across his face.“Good morning,” she replied, stifling a yawn. “Last night was amazing. I can’t believe how much fun we had.”“I know! We need to do that more often,” he said, taking another sip of coffee. “It was nice to reconnect.”Helen smiled, the warmth of his words wrapping around her like a cozy blanket. “So, what’s on the agenda for today? More adventures?”“Definitely! I thought we could take

It was weekend already and the sun dawned bright and sunny, reflecting its warm glow through the window as Davin awoke, feeling refreshed. After the previous evening’s eventful drive and the satisfying dinner with his family, he was eager to embrace the day and make it more eventful. He glanced over at Helen, still peacefully asleep, and smiled at how lucky she was.Once dressed, Davin tiptoed into the kitchen to make coffee. As the rich aroma filled the air, he thought about how to surprise Helen later. It had been a while since they had a proper date night, and he wanted to change that. He’d plan something special, just for them.After breakfast and a lively chat with Mia about her upcoming school project, Davin turned to Helen, who had just finished her coffee. “How about we have a date night tonight?” he suggested, a playful grin spreading across his face. “Just you and me.”Helen raised an eyebrow, intrigued. “Really? That sounds wonderful! But you know we can’t just leave Mia a

The evening air was cool as Davin drove home, the satisfaction of the day’s meeting still buzzing in his mind. He replayed the conversation with the senior management team, feeling a cautious optimism about the potential for change. But just as he was beginning to relax, a sudden jolt from behind interrupted his thoughts.He slammed on the brakes, heart racing. The sound of crunching metal filled the air. Davin glanced in the rearview mirror, realizing he had been rear-ended. He exited the car, already feeling the adrenaline coursing through him.As he stepped out, his heart sank when he recognized the sleek red Ferrari that had collided with his SUV. Emerging from the driver’s side was Derek, Mia’s boyfriend, his face twisted with anger.“What the hell!?” Derek shouted, his voice cutting through the evening calm. “Why would you let your driver bump into my car?”Davin’s driver, a calm and seasoned man named Richard, was already trying to de-escalate the situation. “I’m sorry, sir.

The next day came with a feeling of its own. After the successful town hall meeting, he felt invigorated, ready to tackle the challenges ahead. Sunlight streamed through the window, illuminating the room and hinting at a promising day.As he made his way to the kitchen, the sounds of breakfast filled the air. Helen was already bustling about, preparing pancakes while Mia sat at the table, her homework spread out in front of her.“Good morning, family!” Davin announced, pouring himself a cup of coffee.“Good morning, Dad!” Mia replied, her head buried in her math workbook. “Can you help me with this problem? I’m really confused.”“Of course,” he said, moving to her side. “What’s stumping you?”“It’s this one about fractions,” she said, pointing at the page with a furrowed brow. “I don’t get how to add them.”Davin knelt beside her, explaining the process step-by-step. He loved these moments of connection, the way teaching Mia helped him solidify his own understanding of concepts. After
