Mysterious Billionaire: The Son-in-Law They Never Wanted CHAPTER 92
Michael drove home with mixed feelings. He didn't know whether to be happy or not because he wasn't actually what they thought he was. He drove his usual black Camry,he didn't involve his driver because he didn't feel the need to. He swerved into the compound and alighted from the car.“Michael, you missed dinner, where did you go?” James asked him concernedly.He brought out the diamond necklace and handed it to James. “I had to get it, I wasn't feeling too good. I feel better now.”“You're a changed man and this is really good. Your mom will be really happy even Lord Davin will be really happy.” James said, stretching his hand to congratulate him.He collected his hand with a smile, “I don't want to live that kind of life again. My family is everything and without them I'm nothing.”“I'm really excited to hear that this is coming from you but you know who will be more excited, mom. She'll be proud of you.” Davin said as he arrived at the scene.“How long have you been behind that c

Unfolding TensionsMichael’s night was fitful. He lay awake, mulling over the unexpected turn his life had taken. He had planned to visit the estate, confront the familiar faces and places of his past, and perhaps try to redeem himself. Yet, the diamond necklace in his possession and the assurances from James and Davin had left him feeling conflicted. The promise of change and the pressure to return to old allegiances weighed heavily on him. With dawn creeping in, he decided to get up and clear his head.By the time Michael entered the kitchen, the sun had fully risen. He made himself a strong coffee and sat by the window, contemplating the day ahead. His solitude was interrupted by a knock at the door. It was James, looking more serious than usual.“Good morning,” James greeted, settling into a chair opposite Michael. “Davin and I are planning to meet this morning. We’d like your input on our situation with the Masters.”Michael nodded, taking a slow sip from his coffee. “Sure, I’ll

Shattered Alliances The early morning light filtered through the curtains of Michael’s office, casting a warm glow over the stacks of files and maps spread across his desk. He was deep in thought, analyzing the data he’d gathered on the Masters. The operation was still in its early stages, but he could feel the weight of the decisions he had to make. A knock on the door broke his concentration. It was James, looking slightly uneasy. “Morning,” James greeted, stepping inside. “I hope I’m not interrupting.” “Not at all,” Michael replied, gesturing for James to sit. “What’s on your mind?” James sat down, a look of concern etched on his face. “I’ve been thinking about our approach. What if we’re underestimating the Masters? Their reach and resources are vast. We might need more than just covert operations and psychological tactics.” Michael nodded. “I’ve been considering that as well. But the risk of a direct confrontation is high. We could end up escalating things further.”

The tension in the room was as thick as fog, the atmosphere charged with unresolved conflict. Michael, Davin, and James were huddled around the conference table, their faces etched with frustration and determination. Weeks of debate had yielded no resolution, leaving their mission hanging precariously in the balance."I don’t understand why you’re being so stubborn, Davin," James snapped, his patience fraying. His frustration was palpable, his eyes darting between Davin and Michael. "We can’t just rush in without a plan."Davin’s expression hardened, his jaw set tight as he leaned forward. "I’m not being stubborn, James," he countered, his voice sharp. "I’m being realistic. The Masters are growing stronger by the day, and we’re sitting here dithering. We can’t afford to wait any longer."Michael, who had remained quiet until now, intervened with a measured tone. "We can’t afford to act impulsively either," he said, his voice steady. "We need a strategy tha

Davin hurried past the Oasis where he had his brother wait. His strides urgent and hasty. "You'll have to wait here till I return." He said in a deep voice that made Michael stutter. "I… I ain't sure if I would be able to hold on for that long on this lonely facade." Micheal replied, his heart heaving hard.Davin paused, turning to him. His eyes locked onto his, "Would you then go in search of her with me?... Would that make you comfortable?" With a firm nod, Michael's words tumbled uncontrollably. He has been wanting to join the fight all along, but Davin has continually turned him down. Davin shook his head gently, "Michael, this isn't something you can just play around… I mean, this is war and… " his voice trailed off as he spoke. His heart pondering on how and why his brother would always insist on following him around. He knew the masters were dangerous, though he was a god of war, they had the most trained assassins ever known in Betnoth city. He inspected the time and it

Davin's heart pounded like a war drum as he squared off against Brandon, the Noble's fierce guard. The once daunting shadows of the pinnacle now seemed to merge into one vast, oppressive darkness, broken only by the wavering torchlight. The darkened walls of the pinnacle towered around him, like silent witnesses to the impending clash."Hold it, Davin!" Brandon's voice cut through the night with the sharpness of a blade. He stood in front of Davin, his dark armor glinting in the faint light. His eyes, sharp and cold, fixed on Davin with the intensity of a predator.Davin’s muscles tensed as he prepared for the fight. "Let me through… it's my simple way of sending you this warning if you want to survive!" Brandon’s lips curled into a grim smile. "I’m afraid you’re in no position to make demands. The master has his orders."Davin's gaze shifted to the shadows around them, knowing that more enemies lurked unseen. He had no illusions about the danger he was facing. This was no ordinary g

Master Shawn’s lips curved into a cold smile. "I knew the best way to get to you… and it was him, what were you expecting? To survive it when he sold you out?" The assassins moved into position, their eyes locked onto Davin. There was no way out except through them. Davin’s mind raced, calculating his chances. He had to fight with everything he had—now not for his brother, but for his own survival.The fight began with brutal intensity. Davin launched himself at the nearest assassin, their blades clashing in a storm of steel. He fought with a primal fury, each strike fueled by his fear and determination. The assassins were skilled, but Davin’s training and desperation gave him an edge. He was a whirlwind of motion, his sword a blur as he cut through."Die bastard!! He yelled as blood gushed through the first opponent's neck. It spilled on his face and he licked it. He was used to the taste of blood, it ran salty through his throat, his hands stretching to the next as he tightene

The blaring sounds of gunshots announced their home-coming, it was no ordinary moment as the sparks of fire crept around the Shawn's pinnacle like a whirlwind, blowing and burning anything it gets in contact with. "Surge in!... Surge in, spare no man, spare not a soul!" Abacus yelled, his voice echoing in the darkness. Davin hurried back into the pinnacle, this time not to fight but to take over what belonged to him, the crown as the war lord in Shawntown. His name shall be written on the stones and sands of time if he prevails over the evil forces that held down Arctic city."Wait here, tonight we fight… tomorrow we nurse our wounds!" He said in a commanding tone and Micheal bowed. His eyes glaring in fear, his heart heaving hard, I wish I can kill him and present myself to the world as the leader of the third forces. He muttered to himself, but he also knew that Davin wasn't a man to be trifled with. He watched Davin move into the pinnacle, burning brimstone and fire, but as h

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.

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.

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
