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
RISE OF THE BILLIONAIRE SON-IN-LAW Chapter One - Ma Clarissa
" you stupid fool!"" Good-for-nothing!"" Worthless thing! Do you hate me that much to think you can kill me by serving me this rubbish! Gosh! Unbelievable!"Those were the words Ma Clarissa and her daughter Michelle hurled at Mello who just stood in shock while trying to comprehend the whole situation.He couldn't comprehend why his in-laws accused him of plotting against them but chose to keep his thoughts to himself." You are so worthless and poverty-stricken that it affected your sense of reasoning, huh?" " We feed you, clothe you and yet you want to repay us by bringing us this bland dish! Ridiculous!" Ma Clarissa's voice echoed through the room as she banged on the table.Mello lowered his head and his gaze fell upon the lavish spread laid out dishes before them—a futile attempt to please his unappeasable in-laws. The aroma of the carefully prepared dishes mingled with the dominating tension, creating an atmosphere thick with anticipation and failed expectations.This wasn't

" Is he going to be fine? " Lisa said as she walked out with her mom.She thought she was going to feel better but instead, she was worried about him.It was probably because she had never seen him this angry.Ma Clarissa noticed and smiled." Stop thinking about him, he doesn't deserve to have you, Andrew is there to help you through, Okay?" she said and Lisa nodded, forcing a smile.**Mello sat on the bed, memories of Lisa flooding his mind. He remembered how she laughs to his bad jokes, her little smiles whenever she eats his food, how she loved to be pampered by him whenever she finished long photo sessions and wondered where it all went wrong.He got up and went out of the room, his guilt trailing after him.The house was all quiet now so he figured, Lisa's mother and her daughter must have left.He walked out and stared at the mess over the dining table and sighed before starting to clean up the mess.By the time he was done,he was exhausted and decided to wait for Lisa on the
RISE OF THE BILLIONAIRE SON-IN-LAW Chapter Three - The Revelation
Mello scoffed, thinking it was all some bad joke orchestrated by Lisa." Stop it. I don't know what Lisa put you guys up to, but it's enough, please. Just stop before it drives me insane, " he said, stretching his palm to Ana who stood smiling." And where am I? " He asked, his eyes still savoring the beauty around him." Your new home, your father wanted you to have it, " she answered coldly.Mello's body shivered from the shock with his heart racing rapidly.He could tell from her face that she was serious.His father?He had been an orphan all this life, how come he suddenly have a Father?His grandma never told him anything about his father, so he assumed he never had one and yet, it seemed like he was from a rich family.Ana walked closer and smiled, handing him his phone." President Buster would like you to have this token till he returns to speak with you. He is currently in a meeting in Africa and would join you soon. " she said as Mello collected the phone.Mello saw a notif
RISE OF THE BILLIONAIRE SON-IN-LAW Chapter Four- The stranger
Mello got to his mansion and helped the girl into his room.He noticed the absence of the maids as they ascended up the spiral stairs.Once in his bedroom, he gently laid her down on the bed, her delicate hands clinging to him, unwilling to let go." Please stay" she whispered, with eyes half closed after he managed to remove her hands.Mello smiled and took his time to examine her face.She was clearly beautiful with a curvy body too hard for any man to resist.Her skin was clear with no sign of blemish.Her neck and wrist were adorned with diamond necklace and bangles.Mello wondered who she was.Anna walked in after. She wanted to ask who the lady was but thought it would be wise not to say a word." Help me take care of her, please." Mello said, turning to Anna." Ok ... but you have blood on your shirt. Are you hurt in any way? Should I arrange guards for you? Is anyone trying to harm you? Your father clearly emphasized that your safety should be top priority." Ana's concern wa

" Mr Buster, Mr Buster "Ana called, gently tapping him and he opened his eyes." We are here " she said and walked out of the car.Mello rubbed his eyes and got down.He must have slept off in the car.About 50 guards instantly gathered around him.He looked at the exquisite building standing in front of him and must admit he was overwhelmed for a minute.Daily X was boldly stamped in front of the huge building.The surrounding was large and there was few exotic cars parked but none spoke of dignity such as his.Few people stopped to look at him as they were surprised to see the fleet of cars that just drove in.There were some reporters around but they didn't bother rushing over as they were wondering who he was and it made him smile." What's wrong?" Anna asked." Nothing, let's go, " He said and they both walked into the building and the guards stood behind.About 20 men sat around the conference table all talking at the same time when Mello walked in with hands in his pockets, exa
RISE OF THE BILLIONAIRE SON-IN-LAW Chapter Six - The Chase
Mello got outside to get the shock of his life.There was so much crowd that it looked like the whole city decided to reside at one location.There was camera flashes and shouts everywhere.People were trying to get close to him but the military held them back, keeping his face well hidden.They made way for him till he got to his car which swiftly drove out.As soon as the car got out of the building, Mello heaved a sigh.The thought of the dangerous man at the Conference still bothered him and he decided to ask Ana."The huge man at the meeting, who was he?" He asked, facing her direction."It will be fine if you don't know, Mello. I'll have it settled," Ana answered and continued working on her tablet."Oh ok," Mello said and tried peering through the tinted window but his view was obscured.He decided to rest his head back, letting time pass.After driving for minutes, soon they came to a stop and securities approached them.They instantly bowed on seeing her.She showed them a bl
RISE OF THE BILLIONAIRE SON-IN-LAW Chapter seven- Mr Barnes
Mr Barnes sat in his mansion thinking about what happened at the meeting.It was already dark but the lights in the room provided shelter for his thoughts.He may have acquired it all.Wealth, Status, power, influence, name it all.But one thing he had not been in control of was his feud with Sir Ren.Sir Ren was a dangerous man and so was he.He still recalled how it all started.Some years back, when he managed to lay claim on some properties that Sir Ren was also vying for.Although sir Ren warned him to back down but he resisted.He didn't relent not even when sir Ren once massacred his entire security at one of his hotels at one point as a warning.He knew how tough Sir Ren was which made him spend extra bucks on making his security more grand.He had tried multiple times to pull out dirt on him and despite doing it numerous times with no fruitful results, it dawned on him that Sir Ren happened to be above the law.Everyone knew Sir Ren was never scared of war and was shocked for

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
