SECRETLY THE TRILLIONAIRE BOSS!

It's been three years since Byron was locked up in place of Liam, his brother-in-law. “Byron… please, my brother isn't fit for prison life. Liam doesn't deserve to be there, he didn't do it…. If you love me as you claim, then go in place of him. I promise to get you an attorney…”Those were the words Maggi, his wife had said to him and ever since then, she had only visited once. The first time she came with their little daughter, Ava. And ever since then he never heard from her, nor the attorney she promised, knowing he had taken her brother's place in this hell hole after he was arrested for the possession of hard drugs.He was rest assured by the promise she made but look at him now. He felt drained and heartbroken. Four years ago, Byron had saved Lucas Armstrong, the Grandfather of the Armstrong family by lending him the money to start up his construction company. Grandpa Lucas was so overwhelmed as the business started bringing good results that he decided to repay Byron by ma

Byron's heart sank even further, he felt his heart imploding. He had longed to see and be with this woman throughout his stay in prison. Why was she doing this? “I thought… We were in love. I thought you loved me?” “Well wake up to reality! She never did! She's tired of inhaling that stench called poverty from you! Read the room bro! Sign the damn papers and get lost!” Liam barked, throwing a pen at Byron's chest. Byron smiled bitterly as he glanced at the divorce papers in his hands. Then he raised his head at them, “I will sign this but I want custody of Ava.” Ava is his life. He loved her way too much to leave her in the hands of these people. The room fell silent. “Let me rephrase that. You mean, my daughter?” Liam scoffed. What? Byron's head buzzed. Is this some kind of a sick joke? Maggi tilted her head as if prepared for his reaction. She didn't waste time in showing him the DNA test that proved what Liam just said. Byron's face turned pale. He clenched his fist

“This riffraff came to apply for the janitor position here but he stole my friend’s clothes and insulted us, so I wanted to teach him a lesson but he ended up slashing water all…”“Really?” Byron cut him short with a questioning brow before making a face at Carol who got his message.“Shut up or I might just slap you real good this time!” Leo hushed Byron instantly.“You tried to slap him?! Do you even know who…” Carol had to pause herself, remembering that Byron did not want his identity revealed.“Guards!” She yelled, her face turning red with anger.Six giant men immediately appeared before her, all going down on one knee and bowing to her.“What hand did you try to slap him with?”“Huh?” Leo asked in confusion. Was his boss mad that he slapped a common man like Byron, an ordinary live-in son-in-law, to his friend’s family? SMACK! SMACK!Leo received two simultaneous slaps from Carol as her expression hardened even further. Her eyes narrowed at him and her nose flared.Ah! He real

Byron was about to go to bed that night in the rented condo he was living in when his phone suddenly rang. He glanced at the caller ID and it was none other than Maggi. He frowned but he picked up the call, wondering why she would be calling him at this time of the night.“What do you want?” Byron said coldly from his end of the phone.“Byron…” Maggi let his name roll off her tongue in a seductive and coquettish tone.It was a trick she had honed over the years to manipulate him. She knew he couldn’t resist her whenever she spoke in that manner and she was right. Even though Byron was mad at her and wanted nothing to do with her, hearing her speak in that matter softened his tone, after all, she was a woman he had been in love with for years.“I asked you a question Maggi, what do you want?” “I know what I did is very despicable to say the least, and you have every right to be mad at me and never want to talk to me again but this is not about me, it’s about Ava, she misses you. She

Shell-shocked, everyone stared at Byron, their mouths wide open with a complicated expression. Liam's eyes darkened. An apology conference? He must be out of his goddamn mind to give them such conditions. How can a poor loser who once lived by the Armstrong family's grace say such a thing? Old lady Jane bit her lower lip, staring bitterly at Byron who simply ignored the look on her face. While Liam was trying to control the urge of slapping sense into the fool's head. He stood from his seat and pointed his index finger at Byron, “Are you mad?! Or you're just out of your mind? How dare you give us such conditions? Do we look like beggars to you?” Liam roared, his voice sharp. “There’s no way in hell, I and my family are going to kneel before a disgusting lowlife dog like you!” Byron ignored him, adjusting his tie with a calm expression, “My rules; invite all the press and different reporters to the event. Lastly, it has to be tomorrow.” Byron said, rubbing his palms. He e
