These thoughts left her in a downward spiral and thus she found herself in a bar.After a few shots, and getting drunk enough, she hailed a cab and returned home.Upon reaching the house, she was so intoxicated that she did not notice her mother's Bentley was not parked on the front porch. However, as she stepped into the house, she saw Margaret's shoes and knew she had returned and was probably on the living room couch, watching television. As soon as she walked into the house, she saw her mother checking her phone expectantly, her face painted with shock
The Mysterious Son-In-Law Not Your Call
Sasha was taken aback in shock by her mother's statement. She remained fixated in place with a blank look on her face, unable to find the words to say anythingMargaret assumed her daughter would be over the moon when she heard the news, but the look on Sasha's face made her drop her arms on her hips, staring at her quizzically"Mom, what do you mean I'm getting married in three weeks?" Sasha asked astonishedMargaret who was in an ecstatic mode earlier, suddenly frowned at her daughter's attitude towards the news"What? I thought you'd be happy. You finally get to marry a man of high profile, a man that suits you" Margaret said, looking at her shocked daughter.Sasha snorted indifferently and said, "So you thought making wedding plans without me to a man I haven't spoken to in years was a wise idea?" "Yes!" Margaret retorted"I don't get what the big deal is. You know one would think you would be thanking me, but you're just so ungrateful!" Margaret yelled. She had hoped that this t
The Mysterious Son-In-Law Old Friends or Enemies?
Graham was a little surprised when he heard that Dennis had assumed the position of head of affairs of the Duncan Empire.He found his return to New York almost coincidental with the recent developments. This was the perfect chance to exact his long-aged rivalry against Dennis."Hello? What are you suggesting?" Margaret's voice dragged him out of his reverie"What are you talking about?" She continued with curiosity. "How are you supposed to help me?" Margaret asked. At this point, she was frustrated at all her efforts against Dennis not working and was skeptical that a strange man whom she had never heard of could help her.Graham laughed triumphantly, he could hear the doubt laced in Margaret's voice and said "Obviously you do not know who I am Mrs Luther, but I am very familiar with Mr Apollo" he said with a hint of disdain"You could even say he owes me one. I assure you, if there is anyone that can make sure Dennis Apollo gets what he deserves, it is me" Graham stated with confi
The Mysterious Son-In-Law Chess Not Checkers
Meanwhile, a thought was quickly brewing in Margaret's mind. She didn't expect that suddenly she'd have to terminate her arrangements with Ivan. She didn't think that her ex-son-in-law would be worth so much trouble. She used to think that the man had no power, no money and was practically useless. Little did she know he was such a person of importance.At that moment, Margaret began to wonder just how much she didn't know about her ex-son-in-law. However, a frown appeared across her face when the thought occurred to her, that she'd have to call Ivan and terminate their arrangement. The Russian man seemed like the dangerous and sinister type. The thought of calling him to end their arrangement was mortifying.

"What are we going to do about her Dennis?" Ruelle asked with concern, leaning by the kitchen doorDennis turned around slowly and faced her, his face contorted into a confused expression. He already knew what Ruelle intended to do, and he was still against it.The world he knew and existed in was completely different from the one everyone else was familiar with. As a Gifted, Dennis felt that no one should have to bear such responsibilities, to have their fate decided upon. Despite how powerful he seemed to be, he felt weak for having a controlled destiny. With a dejected sigh, he turned to Ruelle and said "She won't be able to handle it", pushing himself off the desk, he walked to the kitchen sink and turned on the tap to drown out their voices."She deserves to know who she is Dennis" Ruelle persisted "You remember how it was, your first time finding out. All the questions you had about who and what you were...","And then I found out and wished I had never asked those questions"
The Mysterious Son-In-Law The Man in The Dark
Knowing that Ivan had been captured, Dennis felt more relieved as he walked through the front door inside his house.He didn't expect that Rico would send an entire gang after him. If his perceptions were right, Ivan was sent to find out what Dennis was capable of, and now that he wouldn't be returning, Dennis contemplated that Rico's next dispatch would not be one man.Dennis marched forward with a gloomy face, still aggrieved over Kuza's involvement and all the people he had put in danger by making that press statement.As he reached the living room, he turned on the light switch and leaned on the wall pressing his head against it exhaustively. A man in a black Armani suit sat quietly in the corner of the room with his legs crossed over the other, sitting quietly like a predator observing its target.He wore a ring that had a black jade symbol encrusted on it, with a biometric briefcase placed beside him. The middle-aged man gazed directly at Dennis, his face bold and fearless as
The Mysterious Son-In-Law Exposed
The next morning Mark hurriedly jumped out of bed, still infuriated over the press release. He did not expect that his uncle would hand over the deals of the Duncan Empire to a total stranger and was finding it difficult to accept it.He had called his old friend Graham Finley in case he could not manage to change his Grandfather's mind. There was no way he was going to allow Dennis to upstage his position and what he had worked so hard for.However, Mark knew he had to make his objection subtle, not to raise suspicions about why he was so particular about the position, which might lead to his involvement with Rico. He quickly retrieved and checked his phone for a response from Graham, and after seeing none, he tossed it aside, prepared and in a few minutes was off to Lord Duncan's estate.****Meanwhile, at the Lord's Estate, Lord Duncan had phoned his lawyer earlier that morning to go over matters concerning the transfer of legal rights and authority to Dennis. They had spent the
The Mysterious Son-In-Law A cryptic message
Dennis woke up that morning feeling an irritating surge of wrath slowly building in his heart, replacing the calming relief he felt earlier. However, he couldn't tell where his anger was directed at. Apiu had revealed things he was probably better off not knowing. Dennis sighed dejectedly, kicked off the blanket and got out of bed. When he checked his clock, he saw that he had about an hour to meet up with Apiu.Slowly, he strode to his drawer and brought out the ancient book Elder Akio had given him. He was under the impression that the people that were involved in his mother's death were all aborgonals, but from what Apiu revealed to him the previous night, it only made his search even broader and more difficult.As he scanned through the pages for the list of names Akio had written down, he suddenly tossed it aside in anger"Damn you Akio!" He screamed out of frustration and collapsed on his knees, trying to maintain his composure.A strong rush of wind suddenly appeared around

Kuza got up and paced frantically and as Dennis tried to stand up, he staggered on his feet and collapsed on the ground.At this point, the negative imbalance was eating at the core of his chiSeeing his drop to the floor, Kuza hurried towards him and supported him towards the bench. Before coming here, Dennis had drafted a sentimental apology speech, but at this moment, it was a lot harder to say anything.Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of Akio from the corner of her eyes and hurriedly approached him"Tell me there's a way to undo this" she spoke frantically Elder Akio remained quiet for some time, caressing his soft white beard, and then said, "There might be a way to, but...","But what?" Kuza interjected impatiently"I can't do it. It'll require someone with a very powerful Gift, someone like you", Akio replied"Me?" Kuza asked in shock. She had barely learned the basic techniques of Chi manipulation, how then was she expected to heal someone with a level 10 Chi energy?Her face

The moment Akio uttered those words, Dennis stood still for a moment, bit his lips, and then smiled weakly He had foreseen his death in his heart when he realized there was an imbalance in his Chi levels. He now understood why most gurus did not attempt to reach the yin-yang ChiAt a moment like this, it was only a matter of time. No one or anything could save him, and a part of him knew that"How did this happen, Dennis?" Elder Akio's voice echoed again in his earsDennis did not answer. Instead, he remained standing for some moments, using Diune to listen to the familiar heartbeats hiding and eavesdropping from behind the door, and a weak smile curled from the corners of his lip"Dennis! How did this happen?!" Apiu shouted angrily Dennis broke out of his trance and heaved a deep sigh, staring at Apiu who looked back at him for an explanation, "I can't recall," he said vaguely Apiu raised his hand and smacked his forehead in frustration"What do you mean you can't recall?" He sne

Immediately after he read the message, Dennis quickly called Apiu. As soon as the call entered, Apiu picked it up "Are they safe?", Dennis asked impatiently"Yes, they are. Meet us at the cabin" Apiu respondedDennis sighed gladly, glanced at his wristwatch, and said "I'll be there within the hour" then ended the callDennis walked onto the street and hailed a taxi. He was sure that with ties to Jon's case, the cops would also be looking for him. Till this whole was sorted out, he had to keep a low-profileThe taxi halted in front of him, and after he entered, he gave the man the location of a private home just miles away from the cabinAfter driving for some minutes, he finally arrived at the building, and upon handing the driver the fare, Dennis turned and searched around, making sure no one was following or watching him Upon confirming that it was safe, he called Apiu again and then headed toward the cabinApiu felt a sudden chill surging in his heart when he saw Dennis.

"There's no mark on the body!" The young officer exclaimed in shock"What are you talking about?!", Mark asked "We did forensics on the body, to determine what weapon the killer used, but we found nothing. There's no trace" he exclaimed Deshaun chuckled lightly, raised his hand, and gently tapped Mark, "See I told you, Mark, it wasn't Dennis. Take this as a win", he said and turned to give, but before he walked out of the room, he suddenly stopped and pat his head as if he had forgotten something"Oh, Mark. I almost forgot","I did see someone else here. While I was arriving, I saw him just pulling out of the driveway. It was your boss, Victor, you should be investigating instead" Deshaun said, then leaned closer and added"Maybe Victor found out that his partner Jon was trying to pull one over him and decided to kill him",Mark was stunned, he did not want to believe what Deshaun was suggesting, but before he could even express his shock.

"How did this happen?" Deshaun repeated walking towards Dennis"I don't know what happened. He said some things about my mother, which was the last thing I could remember. I don't know if I killed him or not" Dennis answeredWhen Deshaun saw him, a dash of gloom hovered over his head. He felt sympathy for his friend but knew that sooner or later, the cops would find Jon's body and if they had any suspicions that Dennis killed him, he would be thrown into prisonDeshaun walked closer and examined the sharp piercing in Jon's head, sighed gladly, and said "You need to get out here, go somewhere far, but don't skip town. I'm going to radio this in, the cops can't find you here when they arrive",Dennis stood up and nodded without a word, then turned around and walked back towards the bed where his wallet had fallen, picked it up, and as he was about to walk out, he stopped beside Deshaun and whispered "I hated everything about him, and wanted nothing more than for him to die by my hands,

The last few minutes seemed like a blur with a vague recollection of what had happenedHesitantly, he moved closer to Jon's body and noticed a sharp piercing through his head. Dennis raised his hands and searched for any weapons he could have used to do thisAt this point, his heart strangely felt heavy. He knew he had killed Jon, but why was he suddenly feeling remorse for him?Just as he sighed, disheartened, his phone suddenly rang and Dennis retrieved the phone from his pocket to see that it was from DeshaunDennis didn't want to pick up the call as he stared at Deshaun's name on the screen. He had a good impression he knew what this was about. Afterall he was the one on the call with JonWhen Deshaun and the cops must have arrived at Mariner Bay tracing the signal, they would have realized that there were just tracing a fake signalIf that happened, knowing Deshaun, he would assume that Dennis must have known so

Immediately the receptionist gave Dennis the address, he shot her a warm smile, then turned and headed towards his uncle's roomUpon reaching the lobby, he took the elevator and went straight to his uncle's room on the fourth floorThe hotel's wide room spacing was due to the many restaurants, lounges, saunas, and gyms inside the buildingThis caused the rooms to be spaced unevenly in the building. This unique feature is what made Jon find this to be the perfect hideout spot for him, and made Dennis's arrival even less expectedAs he exited the elevator and walked towards the office, he was still pondering what could have been Diana's reasons for working with Jon in the first placeHowever, despite a long and considerable thought, nothing made sense. Still, he was grateful she had recognized Jon for who he truly was and had a change of mindSuddenly, a door behind him opened.It was Victor, he was about to head towards the elevator when he noticed a familiar figure as soon as he left

As soon as he heard those words, Dennis's face turned red with anger. This entire time he had been searching everywhere for who was responsible for his mother's death, when in truth it was his uncle all alongHe swallowed angrily trying to control his temper, then snorted coldly "You are going to wish you had stayed in jail, Jon"Jon chuckled before replying "Guess, it'll be pointless to ask you to turn over the company and house deeds and make this all simple, wouldn't it?","I'll be seeing you, Jon," Dennis said and then ended the call immediately.He turned towards Deshaun who had heard everything and had a sympathetic look towards him.Without saying anything, Dennis immediately ignited the car in a fit of rage and wanted to drive off when suddenly Deshaun grabbed his hand, removing it from the steering wheel"Dennis! Dennis! Listen to me!" He spoke hurriedly"This is what he wants, to throw you off your game. He knows we're on to him, so he's going to say anything to trigger you

There was no need to endanger her lifeWithout any arguments, Sandra did as she was instructed and got into a can heading back to her apartmentAs soon as Dennis parked the car, a call entered his phone immediately. Glancing at Deshaun, he hesitantly answered it"Hello nephew", Jon's deep voice sounded over the microphone"I heard you've been looking for me", he said teasinglyA deep wrinkled frown immediately formed on Dennis's forehead as he spoke "What do you want you old bastard?",Jon chuckled as he asked him in a mysterious manner "Isn't it obvious at this point, I'm not here to negotiate anything with you. I'm already taking everything I want",Dennis hesitated for a moment before replying "Come on Jon, we all know that is not what you really want, is it?""You know I've been thinking about it, trying to figure out why you've decided to show up now.
