Chapter 1
"To Crawford Enterprises' newest golden boy!"The champagne glasses clinked as Michael Crawford's team surrounded him, their smiles gleaming in the dimly lit VIP lounge. The Meridian contract had finally been secured, a deal worth eight figures that would transform their division from a struggling department to the company's crown jewel."Speech! Speech!" Jason called out, his slick hair reflecting the ambient lighting as he raised his glass higher.Michael rose, adjusting his tie. At thirty-two, he had the earnest look of someone still surprised by his own success—someone who couldn't quite believe his good fortune."I couldn't have done this without all of you," Michael said, his voice carrying across the private bar. "Jason, your financial projections were what sealed the deal." He nodded toward his CFO, who raised his glass with a wink. "Vanessa, that presentation you put together? Absolute perfection." The marketing director smiled, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. "And E

The blue text hovered in the air, visible only to Michael.[ULTIMATE SON-IN-LAW SYSTEM ACTIVATED] [Welcome, Host. Initializing...] [System benefits unlocked: Enhanced Perception, Physical Optimization] [First task: Survive the day without revealing your knowledge of the future. Reward: A blueprint for a smartphone company.]Michael stared at the floating interface, his mind racing. Was he hallucinating? Had the murder been just a nightmare?"Mr. Crawford?" His assistant's voice crackled through the phone he still held against his ear. "Are you there? Your morning meeting starts soon."Michael cleared his throat. "Yes, Lisa. I'll... I'll be right there." He hung up, hands trembling.The office around him was exactly as it had been five years ago—before his promotion, before his rise, before his death. The small desk with the family photo he'd later replace. The view of the neighboring building rather than the city skyline. The cheap desk chair that always leaned slightly to the left."

"You're bringing Jason onto your team?" Eric's voice carried across the restaurant patio where they sat for lunch the next day. "I was certain you'd want your own people."Michael took a sip of water, watching his brother's poorly disguised relief. "Why wouldn't I? He's one of our top financial analysts.""I just thought—" Eric's fork hovered midair. "You two have never been particularly close.""Business isn't about friendship," Michael leaned forward, maintaining eye contact. "It's about utilizing the best talents available."Eric set down his fork, his shoulders relaxing visibly. "Well, I'm glad you see his value. He's been loyal to Crawford Enterprises for years.""Loyal to Crawford Enterprises," Michael smiled, "or loyal to specific Crawfords?"Eric's eyebrows rose. "What's that supposed to mean?"Michael waved his hand dismissively. "Just thinking out loud. Loyalty goes both ways. I intend to reward mine generously." He reached for the wine bottle. "Speaking of loyalty, I've ask

Michael paced the length of his home office, glancing occasionally at the wall clock. 11:48 PM. The house was quiet, Katherine having retired to bed hours ago."Twelve minutes," he thought, fingers drumming against his thigh. "Twelve minutes until I've officially survived my first day back in this timeline without arousing suspicion."The day had been exhausting—performing the role of naive Michael while monitoring every reaction from those who would eventually betray him. Every conversation with Eric felt like walking through a minefield. Every touch from Katherine made his skin crawl. Yet he'd maintained the facade flawlessly.His notebook lay open on the desk, filled with careful notes and diagrams—ideas that hadn't existed in this timeline until he'd brought them back from the future. Technological concepts that wouldn't emerge for years, market predictions based on trends that hadn't yet begun."Knowledge truly is power," he thought, running his fingers over a particularly detail

The Crawford Enterprises executive boardroom gleamed with polished mahogany and brass fixtures. Floor-to-ceiling windows offered a panoramic view of the city skyline—a constant reminder of the company's dominance in shaping the urban landscape. Michael sat at the middle of the long table, watching as his assembled team filed in for the morning meeting."The same faces that gathered for my funeral," he thought, nodding greetings as they took their seats. "Smiling just as sincerely then as they are now."Jason arrived last, sliding into a seat directly across from Michael. "Traffic was murder," he explained, straightening his tie. "Everyone's headed to the Baxter property opening.""One of our biggest developments this year," added Vanessa, tapping her tablet to life. "Twenty-six floors of prime commercial real estate, already 80% leased."Michael leaned forward, elbows on the table. "Let's get started. I've asked each of you to prepare initial proposals for our division's focus. Who wa

The dinner with Olivia and Megan had gone better than Michael could have hoped. Three hours of intense discussion had laid the groundwork for their partnership, with Olivia finally agreeing to review a comprehensive proposal within the week."What a day," Michael thought as he slid into the driver's seat of his Audi. "The team is taking shape."Instead of turning toward the mansion he shared with Katherine, Michael headed in the opposite direction. The digital clock on his dashboard read 2:37 PM.Twenty minutes later, Michael pulled into an unremarkable apartment complex in a distinctly middle-class neighborhood. Six-story brick buildings arranged around a central courtyard, decent but not luxurious. The kind of place successful young professionals lived before upgrading to something more impressive.He parked in space 42B and retrieved a small duffel bag from his trunk. The familiar weight of the bag brought a smile to his face. In his previous life, this place had been his sanctuary

Michael cracked his knuckles, staring intently at the four company profiles displayed on his monitor. The blue light illuminated his face in the dimly lit apartment as midnight approached."These four," he thought, tapping the screen. "These are the golden tickets that no one else can see yet."He'd chosen his targets carefully from his future knowledge:NeuraTech: A small medical device company that would announce a breakthrough stimulation device in the next two hours, sending their stock soaring.QuantumShield: A cybersecurity firm about to land a massive government contract.ThenGreenHorizon and "In my previous life, I watched these four companies explode while sitting on the sidelines," Michael mused. "Not this time."He opened his trading platform and began dividing his capital. His fingers paused over the keyboard as he prepared to place the first order."This feels almost like cheating," he thought with a smile. "But then again, I've earned this advantage the hard way."The

Michael adjusted his tie as the Crawford Enterprises boardroom filled with executives. The familiar faces that had once seemed friendly now appeared as masks hiding unknown agendas. He watched Jason whispering something to Vanessa, their heads bent close together before they separated to take their seats."Showtime," Michael muttered under his breath, straightening his presentation materials.Richard Crawford entered the room with characteristic authority, commanding attention without speaking a word. Behind him trailed Eric, who flashed Michael a smile that didn't reach his eyes."Let's get started," Richard announced, taking his seat at the head of the table. "Michael, I understand you have a proposal for the board?"Michael rose, buttoning his jacket with practiced ease. "Thank you, Father. Today I'm presenting the Crawford Smart Buildings Initiative."He clicked the remote, and the projection screen illuminated with his carefully crafted presentation."Our family built its legacy
Chapter 9
Michael arrived at his father's mansion as dusk settled across the manicured grounds. Eric's Aston Martin was already parked near the entrance."So he's already here," Michael muttered, checking his watch. The emergency call had come less than thirty minutes ago.Henderson opened the door before Michael could knock. "Good evening, Mr. Michael. Your father and brother are waiting in the study.""Thank you. How long has Eric been here?""Approximately forty-five minutes, sir," Henderson replied, his expression neutral.Michael approached the study, hearing raised voices through the partially open door."—cannot believe you would be so careless with company funds!" Richard's voice carried, unusually sharp."Father, I've explained—" Eric began."Save it," Richard cut him off. "Michael's here."Michael entered to find his father standing behind his desk, Eric seated opposite with visible tension in his posture."You wanted to see me, Father?"Richard nodded grimly. "Sit down. We have a ser

"How long has it been encrypted?" Michael asked, examining Rebecca's corrupted research files on the larger screen in his apartment. They'd moved from the hallway to his living room, cups of strong coffee between them as they worked through the night."I don't know exactly," Rebecca admitted, rubbing her tired eyes. "I was working on the peripheral nerve regeneration simulations yesterday. Everything was fine. Today I opened the primary neural pathway models and found... this." She gestured at the garbled code filling the screen.Michael's fingers flew across the keyboard, diving deeper into the encryption pattern. With his enhanced perception, he could see structures that would be invisible to others—telltale signatures of the malware's origin."This is NeuraCrypt," he murmured, recognizing the code architecture from a cybersecurity briefing he'd attended in his previous life. "Military-grade encryption with a backdoor master key held only by the deploying party."Rebecca looked at h
