“Sir...” Diana muttered, glancing at Alex who lay unconscious on the bed.Worry lines formed on her forehead when Alex didn't move and Barbara mumbled. “Sir, are you awake?”With that mumble, Alex stirred from his sleep.His eyelids opened, and the first thing he saw was Diana standing next to the bed. He realized that he was on the bed, and there was a soft pillow under his head.“Are you alright?” Diana questioned slowly.“Yes, but why are you here?” Alex inquired, touching his forehead since he felt a throbbing ache there. He didn't understand how he got on the bed when he was in the bathroom earlier. Did he faint?“Well, I forgot to tell you that I needed an advance payment. So I walked in to tell you, then I saw you on the floor, lying unconscious,” Diana explained, gazing at his head.“Do you feel dizzy or maybe nauseous?” Diana asked, and Alex shook his head.“No, it's just a headache,” Alex responded, and Diana took note of what he said in a notebook.Alex analyzed his surroun

From a distance, Barbara watched Diana and Alex with her eyes shot open. She was shocked to see them hug like they knew each other. Just then, Alex’s gaze fell on her, then he realized that he pecked Diana whose cheeks had turned red like a tomato. Hastily, he turned away from her. Diverting his gaze to Rex to change the atmosphere, he swiftly instructed Barbara. “Call Doctor Ben right now!” He uttered, his voice tinged with excitement.Barbara bowed her head slightly and reached for her phone. While Diana left the room, to excuse herself and let Rex and Alex discuss.Clasping Rex’s hand in his, Alex gazed at Rex as tears streamed down his cheeks.“I was terrified, Dad,” He sobbed, and Rex slapped his hand.“Terrified about what? Oh come on, men don't cry,” Rex uttered sarcastically, causing Alex to chuckle.“Oh well... now you are conscious, you have a lot to eat!” Alex exclaimed, wiping the tears from his face.Just then, Barbara walked in with a tray. The tray had a glass of wat
The Son-in-law’s Supremacy 58 | A date
Confused by the sudden outburst of Alex’s absurd question, Diana furrowed her brows. If she wanted to be honest with that question, she would shake her head and say ‘No’. She would also say that she loved him, and she wished he loved her too. But when she recalled how Alex told her to stay away from him and only do her job, indirectly saying he didn't want to have any relationship with her, she changed her response. “Why are you asking that sort of question? Am I supposed to like you?” Diana replied.“I don't and I will never want you to like me! But can I get an explanation or a good reason for deliberately pouring hot coffee on me?” Alex asked, with his arms still crossed beneath his chest.“Well, I didn't do it deliberately, and I will never hurt anyone deliberately,” Diana admitted before she gazed at the soaked shirt in the sink.“But you are alright, right?” She questioned, her voice tinged with concern. And that made Alex annoyed! What if Bella was present, and Diana said t
The Son-in-law’s Supremacy 59 | I don’t love him
Alex’s statement made Diana speechless.‘Is he jealous?’ She muttered to herself, before giving him a response, “Oh, I didn't know you two were related,” “That was not the question I asked,”“That is a personal question, sir,” she replied, bowing slightly before she turned around to leave.“Neil does not like you. He is only fooling around,” Alex muttered, causing Diana to turn back.She gazed at him, replying politely. “You can't judge him that way. He is very caring, and he apologized for what he did already.” Alex stood, moving away from the plush sofa, before tucking his hands into his pockets.“Well, what if I told you that he has a girlfriend already?” Alex spoke, gazing at Diana sternly.“I don't believe that,” She replied, crossing her arms. “You can say whatever you want, but that won't change my feelings.”Alex’s phone rang loudly in the room, averting his gaze from Diana. Meanwhile, Diana walked out of the room, not wanting to discuss with him about Neil.Alex watched her

“Neil, are you alright?” Diana questioned, cautiously touching Neil. Meanwhile, Neil dipped his two fingers into his nostril to block the blood from dripping. “My nose is bleeding!” Neil exclaimed. Just then, the door barged open. Stella, Ronald, and Victoria walked in while Diana assisted Neil to sit upright to stop the quick bleeding.Alex, on the other hand, watched how Diana cared for Neil as he felt his blood boil in anger. Yes, he was the same person who told her to stop caring for him, but at that moment, he couldn't help but control his emotions by clenching his fists tightly.“What happened? We heard Diana scream, and we came to check up on you. Are you alright?” Stella questioned, rushing towards Neil since she noticed that blood stained his hands.“That f*cking imposter threw a punch at me,” Neil managed to utter as his fingers were still in his nostrils to control the fast bleeding.Hastily, Diana rushed out. She walked into the room with an ice pack, and she placed it
The Son-in-law’s Supremacy 61 | In bed with Diana
“Alex, we are married! You shouldn’t be going after sl*ts like that!” Bella sneered, her voice croaking at every she uttered.“I know we are married,” Alex replied tartly, before turning to face her.“But that does not give you the audacity to hit Diana that way. She can get you sued for that, you know,” Alex explained, causing Bella's jaw to drop.Was this still her Alex?No, he is not the same Alex she knew.She grabbed his arm, then downturned her lips.“What is wrong, Alex? We were not like this. We were happily married, and you used to be cheerful and supportive, even though I was wrong. Have I done anything wrong to deserve this new change?” Bella questioned, pouting her lips.Alex, on the other hand, pulled his hand away from hers, replying swiftly, “I changed. I suddenly hate my former self, and my past disgusts me. At times, I start to wonder... was Dad right about you?”Bella blinked repeatedly, “Right about me? What did father-in-law say about me?” She asked, with curiosity

“Umm, you do. You did! I-I'm not lying,” Bella stammered, causing Alex to gaze at her warily.He looked down at her and muttered to himself, “Damn it, she is only going to fill my head with lies.”“Forget about the question. I need to rest now.” He replied, striding away from her, before he left the kitchen.With that, Bella heaved a sigh of relief, before touching her chest that rose and fell quickly.Just then, something struck Alex's mind. Alex turned back with a grin and muttered, “That reminds me!”“From now on, never call Diana a sl*t. And you must always treat her with the utmost respect. Since I'm the King of the world, treat her the same way you would treat a King's wife.” He uttered, causing Bella to be dumbfounded.“Huh?” “Do you want me to repeat that?” Alex questioned, giving Bella a cold, murderous look.“No, no. I understand what you meant!” Bella exclaimed, bowing her head slightly.Afterward, Alex left the kitchen area and Bella watched how he walked up the stairs.H
The Son-in-law’s Supremacy 63 | Neil’s true identity
“Psychiatric? Come on...” Alex muttered, averting his gaze away from Bella.“Alright then,” Bella replied, sprouting to her feet.“Are you going somewhere?” He questioned, observing her hasty steps toward the closet.“Yes, I need to go see a friend,” Bella replied.“Male or female?” Alex questioned, causing Bella to scoff.“Female, Lisa to be exact,”“But Lisa should be at the hotel, doing her job as a receptionist.”“Well, she resigned from the hotel yesterday.”“Umm... okay,” Alex replied, walking out of the room since he was now calm and was not interested in discussing with Bella about her whereabouts.Meanwhile, Bella glanced over her wristwatch, before mumbling, “Gosh, it’s almost time!”Hastily, she changed her clothes, and walked out of the room, before bumping into Neil.“Umm, sorry...” She muttered, composing herself.“You must be Bella, Alexander’s wife, right?”“Yes? How do you know my name?”“I’m Neil, Ronald’s friend.”“Ohh.. we met at the hotel’s ballroom!” Bella exclai

At Evelyn’s villa, the maid escorted Fiona to the living room, and Fiona reached there, waiting for Evelyn patiently. As soon as Evelyn reached her side, Fiona approached her and muttered, “I need to talk to you.” “Alright, have your seat,” Evelyn responded, gesturing toward a nearby couch. Hastily, Fiona sat on the couch, and she spoke, “Ma. Evelyn, you need to listen to this recording. It is a conversation I recorded between Mrs. Bella and I.” As soon as she completed her statement, she played an audio she recorded which revealed how Bella intended to kill Daisy and have the entire empire to herself. Fortunately, Fiona didn’t follow Bella’s orders because she understood how it would feel if she was in the victim’s shoe. Also, the other time she injected a fluid into the IV fluid bag that was connected to Alex, it was the normal fluid she was supposed to inject. But, she pretended like it was a bad fluid, just in case Bella had a spy that was watching her. “Gosh, I knew she wa

“His entire empire?” Fiona mouthed, dumbfounded with Bella’s plan.“Yes. Now, get back to work,” Bella rasped before ending the call. She took a peek at the maid approaching her with a glass of juice then she gazed at her warily, recalling that the maid was always around her whenever she received a call. As soon as the maid placed the glass of juice on the table, Bella smiled, and she picked it up. She pretended to take a sip from the juice, and she got engaged with her phone.Meanwhile, the maid walked to a corner that had no CCTV camera, and she pulled out her phone to dial a phone number.The phone number was nicknamed, ‘Boss, Thomas.’As soon as Thomas answered the call from the other end, she narrated everything she heard quickly, while Thomas chuckled at Bella’s plan.After the maid completed the narration, Thomas instructed her to continue her work and he ended the call swiftly.Pushing her phone into her pocket, the maid turned around to leave, but what stood before her fri

“You have been diagnosed with liver cancer,” Diana explained, approaching his bed with steady steps.She pulled out a chair, pushed it towards Alex’s hospital bed and she sat on it.“Yes, Grandma Evelyn told me today,” Alex replied softly, his voice sounding weak and slow.“As your primary nurse, I will advise you to have more rest.”“Alright.”“Also, be careful. Something fishy is going on with Bella, but thank goodness, Fiona is the doctor taking care of you. She is more trustworthy than Doctor Ben-” Diana uttered, then she paused upon realizing that Alex’s eyes got shut.“I will leave you to rest then,” she uttered. She understood that he had fainted, and with his present condition, he needed more rest. So, she moved away from the chair, intending to leave the ward.Just as she was about to leave, Fiona walked in with a fake smile on her face, and her hands were dipped in her lab coat’s large pockets.“You must be working very hard to make him better,” Fiona muttered, gazing at Ale

Diana’s stomach clenched with worry as she absorbed Bella’s statement. Slowly, she released her hands from Bella’s collar with a web of worry lines forming on her face.“You let Daisy be in that condition because of your greed. Don’t you have any soul?” Diana asked, causing Bella to huff and straighten her blouse.“No, you are the one who allowed her to be in that condition. Stay away from Alex and I will stay away from your family. Also, you should visit your daughter at the hospital. She needs her mama,” Bella spoke sarcastically and she walked away with her head held high.Just then, Diana’s anger turned into concern, and she rushed out of the villa, intending to meet Daisy who had been admitted to the hospital.***“Ma. Evelyn, the CT scan reveals that Alex has liver cancer, and thank goodness we found out earlier; otherwise, it could have been too late,” Fiona uttered, causing Evelyn to gasp in shock.“But he will be treated as soon as possible, right?”“Yes,” Fiona replied with

Evelyn’s statement rang in Bella’s head and she stammered, “What?” with her body trembling at the statement, ‘Get rid of her.’“Guards, you should do your job or you will be fired. Meanwhile, Diana and Fiona should follow me,” Evelyn instructed and without a second thought, Bella moved away, being aware that the guards would definitely obey her.Immediately she moved away from them, she shot a glare at Diana, then, Evelyn, Diana, and Fiona walked away. Meanwhile, Bella was stunned by Evelyn’s actions.She didn’t expect Evelyn to visit the villa, or instruct the guards to get rid of her, especially when she is Alex’s wife, and his soon-to-be mother of his children.Just then, the same maid who repeatedly poured a liquid into the glass of water she offered to Alex passed by, with a tray and a glass of water.However, Bella spotted her and her eyes widened in shock.“Gosh, not now!” She muttered to herself, then she stopped the maid immediately. Dismissing the guards, she turned to the

“Though, you are very lucky. It will be easy to get rid of your allergy since it’s only been a few months,” Bella uttered, and she leaned forward with a smirk playing on her lips, “I know you love Daisy, Iris, and Melissa so much, so do this for them.”Afterward, the smirk on her face was replaced with a fake smile, and she leaned back, “You will do it, right?”With that, Diana’s eyes turned red as tears threatened to stream down. Earlier, she had decided to keep the baby and convince Jeffrey, but now, Bella is threatening her with her family.“Yes, I will do it,” Diana replied.“Alright, I will send a car to pick you up tomorrow. Then, we will get rid of your allergy,” Bella replied tartly, and afterward, she walked out of the restaurant.As soon as Diana watched her leave and her car sped off, Diana reached for her phone and she dialed Alex’s phone number quickly. But unfortunately, Alex could not answer it. He was in a wheelchair, sitting motionless as he stared into space in the

Knock!Knock!“Sir, I brought the painkillers,” the maid uttered in a soft tone. Afterward, Alex instructed the guards to allow her inside, and they obeyed. The maid walked in quickly, then she offered a glass of water and the painkillers to Alex.As soon as Alex took the painkillers, and the glass of water, a smirk played on the maid’s lips and she excused herself.***“Mr. Alex, you are alright,” Doctor Ben uttered swiftly, causing Alex to approach him.“Really?” Alex inquired.“Yes, we ran a CT scan and everything is fine,” Doctor Ben replied with a smile on his face, then he paused before muttering, “Sir, did you notice any negative symptoms?”“No, no. Since you said that I’m alright, then, I am,” Alex responded, causing Doctor Ben to bow his head.“I should take my leave then,” Doctor Ben spoke politely, and Alex waved his hand quickly as a sign of dismissal.Afterward, Doctor Ben left the room, while Bella walked in majestically.“So what did he say? You are fine, right?” Bella

Jeffrey’s voice rang throughout the room, causing Melissa to mutter softly, “Please, Daisy is here.”“Yes, mother-in-law,” Jeffrey replied calmly, while Alex walked out of the house, with Bella trailing behind him hastily.“Get into the car, we are leaving,” Alex uttered tartly.“What?!” Bella exclaimed, “We are here, now... You want us to leave?”“Yes,” Alex replied firmly.Meanwhile, in the dining room, Diana returned and she was a bit surprised to notice Alex and Bella’s absence.“They left,” Jeffrey uttered after he sensed her surprise.“Oh,” Diana replied, before her gaze fell on Melissa who had a worried expression on her face.“Are you alright?“ Melissa inquired with concern tinged in her voice and Diana responded with a nod, “I’m fine.”“Maybe you should consider seeing a doctor... You know, it might be a kind of disease or so,” Iris suggested quickly, causing Melissa to nudge her elbow and stop her from talking.“Sure, I will,” Diana replied, then she turned to her plate.Inw

“I’m worse? Oh, come on, what can be worse than a mother abandoning her biological daughter?” Bella scoffed, then, when she noticed that Alex tried to stand again, she rushed towards him and she placed his arm around her shoulder.She helped him to his room, and afterward, she returned to the dining room to confront Diana who watched how Bella assisted Alex to his room.“What are you doing here?” Bella inquired, folding her arms quickly.“I came to meet Alex,” Diana responded, then, she moved to the other side to walk away, but Bella blocked her path.“You can’t. He is fast asleep,” Bella hissed.“Then I will wake him... It’s something urgent I need to talk about,” Diana mattered, before walking past Bella hastily.“You have no shame at all...” Bella hissed, making Diana pause in her tracks.“First, you abandoned your daughter at an orphanage home, then you deprived her of the parental love she deserves-”Before she could continue her statement, Diana replied, “Yes, I did! But now, I
