RISE OF THE BILLIONAIRE SON-IN-LAW 157
Back In Russia ****Sir Kemp sat comfortably in a large leather chair, the dark color of the seat contrasting with the light blue walls of the room. He held a delicate porcelain cup in his hand, calmly sipping his coffee. Even in this quiet moment, there was an undeniable sense of power about him. His dark suit fit him perfectly, giving off an air of authority that didn’t need any flashy display. One look was enough to know: this man was in charge.Suddenly, the door flew open, and a young delegate rushed in, his eyes wide with panic. "Sir Kemp!" he shouted, his voice shaky with fear and urgency.Sir Kemp didn’t react immediately. He slowly set his cup down on the small table beside him, moving with a calmness that suggested nothing could disturb him. Then he looked up, his eyes sharp and focused. "Yes?" he said in a deep, steady voice. He leaned back in his chair, showing just a hint of curiosity, though his face remained calm and unreadable. He was not a man easily interrupted, and

As the car pulled up in front of a sprawling mansion, Lisa’s eyes widened in awe. The massive estate stretched out before her, with lush gardens, fountains, and towering walls of stone that seemed to protect a hidden paradise. It was like something out of a dream, completely different.Mello got out of the car first and walked around to help Lisa. As she stepped out, still taking in her surroundings, she couldn’t help but ask, “What is this place? What are we doing here?”Mello looked at her gently, his hand still holding hers as he gazed around at the estate. “This is where you’re going to stay for the time being,” he said, his voice calm but firm. “I need to make sure you're safe, and this is the only place I trust.”Lisa looked at him, surprised. “But... But .”Mello smiled softly, brushing a strand of hair behind her ear. “It’s not just about luxury. It’s about security. No one can touch you here.” His eyes, full of love and concern, lingered on hers. “I won’t let anything happen

As Sir Ren stared at the screen, the footage played on, showing a younger Mello, dressed in tattered clothes, dropping off delivery packages in a run-down neighborhood. The sight of Mello, who now carried an air of authority and power, working in such humble conditions caught Sir Ren completely off guard.His eyes narrowed in disbelief. "Are these real or generated?" he asked, his voice low but tense.Alex, standing confidently beside the screen, replied, "100% authentic, sir. No fabrication. I dug deep into old security cameras and public records. It’s real."Sir Ren folded his arms, leaning in closer to the screen, still processing what he was seeing. "So, Mello was once nothing more than a delivery boy," he mused, a wicked smile forming on his face. "This could be useful.""Have you run authentication tests on this?" Sir Ren asked, his voice sharp with curiosity.Alex nodded confidently. "All tests came back clean."With a smirk, Alex pressed another button, and a new video began p

Mello pressed a hidden button on the wall, and to Kelan’s astonishment, a secret door slid open, revealing a stark contrast to the dilapidated exterior. Inside was a sleek, high-tech room, illuminated with soft white lights. The place was filled with the hum of computers, and a team of people sat at monitors, typing furiously, fully engrossed in their tasks.Kelan’s jaw dropped as he took in the scene. “I can't believe this... how is this even possible?" he whispered in disbelief.Mello smirked. "This is the real heart of the operation, hidden in plain sight." Kelan just shook his head, still stunned. The outside of the building had been a perfect cover, but inside, it was a cutting-edge facility. This was where Mello’s plan was really taking shape."This is where it all begins," Mello said, his voice steady but filled with determination. "The team has been working tirelessly, day in and day out, to uncover every piece of dirt on Sir Ren. It's only a matter of time before we find som

One of the team members suddenly stood up."Sir, I found something."Mello and Kelan both turned and walked over to his computer.On the screen was a map with a large red dot marking a location."What does this mean?" Mello asked."I think I've found Sir Ren's drug warehouse. This is likely where he runs his main operations."Mello's eyes sharpened as he looked at the red dot flashing on the screen. He leaned closer to the technician. "Are you certain this is the location?"The technician nodded. "Based on the patterns of movement, encrypted communication logs, and the unusual activity we’ve tracked, I’m about 90% sure this is it. Sir Ren is running his main drug operation out of this warehouse."Kelan whistled softly. "That’s deep in the industrial district. It’s the perfect spot for something like this—hidden, untraceable."Mello straightened up, the gears in his mind turning rapidly. "We need to act fast before he realizes we’ve found him. How many men do we have on standby?"Kelan

"If that's all, then let’s move," Kelan said, his voice calm but firm. The men nodded and began to prepare, adjusting their gear and checking their weapons. Each man knew their role, and there was no room for mistakes.The group moved with precision, splitting into smaller teams as they made their way to the vehicles waiting outside. The air was tense, but they were professionals—focused and ready.As they climbed into the vans, Kelan gave a final nod to the driver. "Stick to the plan. No detours. We need to be in and out fast."The driver nodded back, and the vans pulled out, heading toward their target. The streets passed by in a blur of lights and shadows, the city quiet at this late hour. Inside the van, the men sat in silence, the only sounds being the occasional click of gear being checked and the low hum of the engine.Kelan sat at the front, his mind running through every detail of the plan. He glanced back at the men, making sure they were ready. They had done this before, bu

The man with the scar narrowed his eyes at them, clearly not satisfied. "Before we talk prices, I need to know—who’s your boss? I don’t deal with just anybody."One of the decoys smirked, leaning forward slightly. "I can’t give you that information just yet. But what I can tell you is that our boss is a high-ranking government official, someone with a lot of influence."The scarred man raised an eyebrow, his skepticism fading slightly. "A government official, huh? That’s interesting." He tapped his fingers on the desk, considering the words carefully. "If that’s true, you should have no trouble paying the price I’m about to offer."The men nodded confidently. "We wouldn’t be here if we couldn’t handle the cost."The scarred man leaned back in his chair, seemingly satisfied for now. "Alright. Let’s talk business then.""And one more thing," one of the decoys said, pausing as the conversation turned serious.The scarred man raised an eyebrow. "What?""My boss would like to meet Sir Ren

Kelan’s car pulled up to the hidden base, its headlights cutting through the dark. He stepped out quickly, waving for the rest of the team to follow him inside. They hurried through the doors, eager to report back to Mello.In the control room, Mello was standing in front of a bank of monitors, his eyes scanning over various data points and maps. The soft hum of the computers filled the air as his crew worked quietly around him.Mello looked up as Kelan and the decoy squad entered. "How did it go?" he asked, his voice calm but edged with curiosity.Kelan grinned. "It went exactly as planned. The decoys pulled it off without a hitch. We dangled the bait, and Sir Ren’s men are interested. They’ll be reaching out soon through the anonymous link."Mello nodded, his eyes narrowing as he processed the information. "Good. That’s what we need. They’ll make the next move, and we’ll be ready for them."One of the decoy members stepped forward, still buzzing with adrenaline. "We mentioned the $2

Just then, the warehouse doors swung open with a bang, and Mello rushed in, his steps quick and full of purpose. His eyes locked onto Sir Ren's, unflinching."Malcolm, what is so important?" Mello said, his voice dripping with sarcasm. His sudden appearance left Sir Ren stunned, unable to mask his shock. How did Mello manage to bypass his guards so easily?"What... what are you doing here?" Sir Ren snarled, anger twisting his features as he tried to regain his composure.Mello simply smiled, that infuriating calm spreading across his face, as if he knew something Sir Ren didn't. That smile was enough to make Sir Ren hiss with frustration, realizing he was surrounded by evidence that could incriminate him.Panic flickered across Sir Ren's face, his eyes darting to the drugs and documents scattered around. "Shit! Everybody clear out! Move! Gun him down, now!" Sir Ren screamed, his voice cracking with desperation as he reached for his men.But before he could finish his order, the room s

As Mello drove away, the lights from his father's mansion grew smaller in the rearview mirror until they disappeared entirely. His jaw was clenched tight, muscles tense, as his mind raced with the weight of everything he’d just faced. The meeting had been more painful than he’d imagined, more personal than he had wanted it to be. But there was no room for regret now.He took a deep breath, his fingers drumming impatiently against the steering wheel. This was the last step of the plan, the final confrontation that would bring everything together. Yet, in the back of his mind, a whisper of doubt gnawed at him—would his father really let him go through with this? Or was there another twist waiting in the shadows?As he drove through the dimly lit streets, his phone buzzed on the passenger seat. He hesitated, glancing at the screen. It was a message from Zach.**"All set on my end. Sir Ren’s warehouse is under close watch. Your move now. Make it count."**Mello’s eyes narrowed, the resolv

Mello smiled politely as he rose from the plush leather chair. “Thank you, President,” he said, his tone measured, careful not to let the adrenaline that still pulsed through his veins leak into his voice.He turned to leave, but before he could take more than a step, Sir Asher’s voice stopped him. “It’s late, Mello. Why don’t you stay here tonight? Get some rest.”Mello paused, his back to the man, and allowed a moment of consideration to pass. The offer was laced with something more—an unspoken test. Was this an olive branch, or was it bait? Either way, he couldn’t stay.He smiled, glancing over his shoulder. “I’m a man of time, and unfortunately, I don’t have much to spare at the moment. I appreciate the offer, though.”Sir Asher studied him for a second, then gave a curt nod. “Very well,” he replied, his face expressionless, though the calculating gleam in his eyes hadn’t faded.Mello turned and headed for the door, walking with an air of calm composure, though every nerve in his

As Mello left Sir Nerio’s residence, he couldn't shake the feeling of betrayal hanging over him like a storm cloud. His father’s silence over the years suddenly made sense, and he felt a mix of anger and disappointment rising in his chest. But he pushed those emotions aside; he had a mission to complete.The ride to Sir Asher’s estate was long, giving Mello time to strategize. He needed to gather more evidence, and he couldn’t let his father’s involvement cloud his judgment. When he finally arrived, the sight before him was nothing short of overwhelming.The estate loomed like a fortress, sprawling over vast acres with manicured lawns, fountains, and elaborate sculptures. It looked more like a city than a home. Mello stepped out of his car, taking a moment to adjust his suit, ensuring he looked every bit the part of a powerful player in this high-stakes game.As he approached the entrance, two guards stood at attention, their eyes scanning him with a mix of suspicion and curiosity. He

Mello settled into the plush booth, his heart pounding as he faced Sir Nerio. The Prime Minister looked polished and composed, as expected, but Mello knew beneath that facade lay a man tangled in a web of corruption. “Let’s skip the pleasantries,” Mello began, his tone firm and unwavering. “I’m not here to exchange small talk. I know about your dealings with Sir Ren.”Sir Nerio feigned confusion, raising an eyebrow. “What dealings? I’m not sure what you’re talking about, Mello. You must be mistaken.”Mello couldn’t help but smirk at the Prime Minister’s naivety. “Mistaken? Really? I have video evidence of you in a room full of drugs, discussing shipments with Sir Ren.” He pulled out his phone, swiping through the screens until he found the video. He pressed play, and the room filled with the sound of laughter echoing from the screen.The footage showed Sir Ren and Sir Nerio, surrounded by piles of drugs, their faces illuminated by the dim lights of the room. The two men leaned in clo

Mello felt a surge of realization wash over him. No wonder his father had never interfered with Sir Ren's dealings all these years. The weight of his father’s choices settled heavily in his gut. Even though Mr. Buster had the power to quench Sir Ren's operations, he never did. The truth was painfully clear: Sir Ren had something on him, some past dealings and evidence that kept him silent.Mello clenched his jaw, anger bubbling beneath the surface. His father, a man he had respected, was ensnared in a web of deceit, trapped by his own mistakes. It was infuriating to think that the very person who should have been a protector had chosen to align with a monster out of fear.The room was still, the atmosphere thick with tension. Mello looked at his team, their faces a mix of concern and determination. He couldn’t let this betrayal distract him. He had a mission to accomplish.“Alright, let’s focus,” he said, forcing his voice to remain steady. “So, any update on Sir Vane?” Mello asked,

As the evening shadows stretched across the sky, Mello felt a surge of impatience. He couldn’t wait any longer. Something inside him gnawed at his sense of urgency.He turned to Lisa, who was resting beside him. “I’ve got to go,” he said softly, brushing a kiss against her forehead. Before she could protest or ask him to stay, Mello was already on his feet, leaving her with just a glance.In the living room, he pulled out his phone and dialed Kelan. His voice was steady, but there was a quiet intensity beneath it. “Kelan, gather the team. We’re meeting at the hideout. It’s time.”There was a brief pause on the other end before Kelan answered, “We’ll be ready.”Mello ended the call, his mind racing. Tonight would set everything in motion.Mello slipped into his car, the engine purring to life as he pulled out of the driveway. The city lights flickered in the distance, but his mind was elsewhere, focused on the task ahead. The weight of the evidence he’d seen gnawed at him—the video of

Mello lay in bed, his thoughts racing. The room was quiet now; Kelan and Lisa had gone to the doctor to finalize his discharge. He rubbed his temples, trying to make sense of everything. The previous night still haunted him, but it also fueled his determination.Suddenly, the phone beside him rang. It wasn’t his. He glanced at the unknown number flashing on the screen, instinct telling him to answer. Hesitating for a moment, he placed the call on speaker."Hope it didn’t hurt much," a familiar voice chuckled through the speaker. It was Zach, his tone mocking yet amused.Mello couldn’t help but laugh. "You’re crazy, but I’ve got to hand it to you, it was a brilliant plan."Zach’s laughter followed. "That means you owe me, you know, for boosting your fame and making you the talk of the town overnight."Mello smiled, recalling how close he came to losing everything. "When I nearly died last night? Yeah, thanks for that.""It was just a light knockout. You’re still here, right?" Zach’s gr

the next morning When Mello opened his eyes, he found himself in a room full of people, all watching him with worried expressions. Their whispers filled the air. "He's awake," someone said softly.Disoriented, Mello rubbed his eyes and saw Kelan and Lisa standing nearby, their faces pale with fear. He slowly sat up in bed, feeling a dull ache in his head. "What's going on?" he asked, his voice groggy.Kelan motioned for the others to leave, and soon it was just the three of them in the room. Lisa, sitting by his side, took his hand and spoke " thank God" Mello stared at her, trying to process what had happened. Mello blinked slowly, trying to piece together what had happened. His body felt heavy, his mind foggy. He looked down at Lisa, who was resting her head on his legs, her silent tears soaking into the blanket. The weight of her words sank in, but they felt distant, like an echo from a dream."Attacked?" he muttered, still rubbing his temple. His eyes flickered over to Kelan
