RISE OF THE BILLIONAIRE SON-IN-LAW Chapter thirteen - Making history
Ana hesitated for a moment, her eyes taking in her surroundings, capturing the weight of the moment.This was it. The very moment that would forever change the course of Ashley group.She glanced at Mello and could sense the tension etched on his face and sent him an reassuring smile.She turned to the wall screen and Mello's picture was instantly displayed on it, then she turned back to the investors and the next thing she did shocked everyone." The final stage of this process requires each and every one of you to sign and consent Mello of his rights to become the new heir" Ana said, prompting murmurs to ripple among the investors." How is this fair? " A voice from the crowd interjected." Impossible! How can a nobody with little to no experience suddenly take over a multi- trillion-dollar corporation? This is pure suicide."" I'm never taking part in this, And how the hell was he able to gather that much shares? I suspect foul play here, just count me out.""What nonsense! I thoug
RISE OF THE BILLIONAIRE SON-IN-LAW Chapter Fourteen - meeting Sarah Barton
The other member seemed hesitant, unsure of which side to take.Mello sighed silently, taking his hands into his pockets, determined to do his all to stop Sir Ren.Just as he was about to speak, a lady stood up, commanding respect with he presence.He looked up to see it was Sarah Barton, one of the most influential individuals in the group and youngest.And from the way she looked, he could tell she would be around his age. He recalled reading about her once and knew how significant she was to the group.And right now, he knew whatever she said would go a long way in determining the outcome of the meeting.She turned to Sir Ren, wearing a steel gaze." Do you know the implications of what you are doing right now? " Her soft voice cutting through the silence, brimming with authority.Sir Ren chuckled.Implications? Spare me, Sarah. You're out of your depth here," He scoffed, his voice tinged with arrogance."Perhaps. Or perhaps I see things more clearly than you realize," Sarah replie

Mello turned to Ana, his face contorted with anger and betrayal." How could he do this to me, Ana? How could Father just decide my fate without even consulting me?"Ana sighed, her expression a mix of sympathy and apprehension." Mello, please calm down. I know this is difficult, but yelling won't change anything."Mello stopped and glared at Ana, his eyes burning with intensity.Few people turned to gaze at him but at that moment, he cared less." You knew about this, didn't you? You knew about this arrangement and you didn't bother to tell me?"Ana looked down, unable to meet Mello's accusatory gaze." I .. I only found out recently, Mello. Father made me promise not to say anything. He thought it would be easier if you heard it from him."Mello clenched his fists, his jaw tensing with suppressed anger." Easier? Easier for whom, Ana? Certainly not for me! I refuse to be entangled to someone I barely know, all for the sake of some stupid family alliance."Ana reached out quietly, p
RISE OF THE BILLIONAIRE SON-IN-LAW chapter sixteen - Challenging Sir Ren
All through the drive to the way home, Mello didn't utter a word, engulfing himself in sadness.He still couldn't believe the girl seated next to him was his sister.Her gaze met his, her own eyes filled with remorse and unspoken feelings.Mello opened his mouth to speak, but the words caught in his throat, choked by the weight of the truth that had been revealed. Discovering he had a fiancée he didn't know about and that Ana was his sister left Mello in disbelief.No matter how he thinks about it, their relationship would never be the same from now on.It was almost evening by the time the car got to the mansion, Mello was tired and went inside quietly ignoring Ana in the car.---Sir Ren sat quietly in his mansion quietly watching a video on his tablet, it was the video of how he was humiliated at the board meeting and indignity burned through his veins. His door opened and his right-hand man, Alex came in."Have you done it?" Sir Ren asked, his eyes glistening with anger."Yes sir.
RISE OF THE BILLIONAIRE SON-IN-LAW chapter seventeen - taking the Big brother role
Ana looked at him intently, her tears welling up and flowing down her cheeks." I'm sorry I can't be with you this time," she smiled, managing a smile amidst her sorrow." Just take the time you need to heal... I'll be back soon. Let big brother finish the job, " Mello assured her and she smiled.He then took her to rest on the couch before stepping out.Immediately Mello got out, he was greeted by the comforting warmth rays of the orange sun and had to shield his his eyes with his hands against it's brightness.He approached one of the guards who straightened on his feets immediately he saw Mello approaching." Who's Reece?" Mello inquired and a man not more than his age, stepped forward and saluted." Present, Sir!"Mello nodded." Good. Can I trust you to take care of my sister for me untill I return" Mello asked him with a serious tone." Yes, sir! I swear on my life sir!"" And if a single strand of her hair gets hurt, I would make sure to make your life miserable for all eterni
RISE OF THE BILLIONAIRE SON-IN-LAW Chapter eighteen - meeting Dad
Mello smiled. ''I will be done soon, I'm almost done,'' Mello said and opened like five files at once. He grabbed another file and opened it as well.Kelan could tell he was scared. He may look fearless on the outside, but he doesn't need to be told he's scared of disappointing Ana and his father. It's sad, but that is just the burden of this new life he found himself in.'I'll take my leave now,' Kelan said while Mello nodded without taking his eyes off the files.Mello dropped the files and sighed as Kelan exited the room. He was getting exhausted as he wasn't used to reading a lot, but he was ready to give Sir Ren an opportunity.He grabbed another file to read when his phone rang. He straightened and picked up the call.''Hey, baby girl,'' Mello smiled, and Ana's sweet chuckle aired over the phone."Are you home now? And do you feel a bit better?" he asked."Yes, I just took my drugs and I am better now. I'll be visiting the hospital tomorrow," her sweet voice came again.Mello la
RISE OF THE BILLIONAIRE SON-IN-LAW chapter nineteen - when it gets tough
Mello who was confused, looked into the system and his face twitched into that of surprise and shock as he read the screen." Dad..." Mello tried to say but was cut short." How is this possible? The hospital has finally been locked down by government due to numerous complaints and all the sick patients are stranded and our workers displaced. God, our powerful patients might sue us for this, it's all Sir Ren's doing," Ana exclaimed as Mello stared intently at the screen.Mello slowly paused, taking a moment to process what was happening.His fear was slowly becoming a reality." Dad, I'm sorry... I lost focus and made a mistake" Ana's voice quivered as she spoke, her gaze fixed on the ground.Mello instinctively placed a comforting hand on her shoulders, easing her discomfort before directing his attention back to his father. " But Dad, I'm working on something, something that'll hit him so hard he'll regret ever findling with Ashley Group," Mello interjected, wanting to take the bur

"what?!" Mello's voice cracked with disbelief when the news finally sank in, his heart thumping with fear.He could believe he was scared of losing the man he felt nothing towards some hours ago.He slowly returned the phone back to his ears." He's currently undergoing treatment and his life currently hang in the balance" the voice came again." Is he going to be fine?" Mello stood up from his seat, his thoughts racing faster than his pounding heart."I hope . Even Box has been shot too and is currently in a critical condition!" The word hit Mello like a punch to the gut."what?!" Mello almost shouted unconsciously, his mind struggling to comprehend the sudden turn of events." The spy, Evan is dead as well" " How? " This time, the words came out more of a whisper." And you also need to see Ana right now, I was informed she fainted just now, I'll meet you there," At this point, Mello was already at a loss of words.His expression shifted from that of surprise to pain."How?

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
