CHAPTER 01
Kevin put a blue suit on and combed his hair. He seemed a bit sad that he was alone in the mirror.He wished that his wife was standing right next to him.Exhaling audibly, Kevin came out of his room and saw that all of his wife’s family members were sitting at the dining table, gobbling up the breakfast menu.He was about to take the seat next to his beautiful blonde wife, Cecilia, but a sudden loud noise nearly cracked his eardrums.“KEVIN! Why is there a damn cockroach in my bathroom?” Brielle, his mother-in-law, who had the biggest mouth in the world, yelled ever so casually.“How would I know, Aunt?” he replied, sitting down and showering a smile at his wife. Her ocean-blue eyes made him want to keep looking at her.“Don’t call me Aunt, and don’t smile at my daughter!” Brielle growled. “Don’t forget the deal we made. Until you fulfill your end of the deal by bringing profits to that company you’re entrusted with, you can’t have Cecilia. Now, if I find the cockroach later in my bat
CHAPTER 02
Kevin’s mind and heart went blank when the mobile screen went blank and white.“No, no, no…” He slapped the mobile with the other hand a few times and then wiped it with the towel.If Brielle were to find out he damaged this mobile, she would use that against him for months, saying something like: He couldn’t even keep his mobile safe, so how could he keep her daughter safe?The mobile did not respond at all.Kevin put it in his pocket and pressed the light switch on the wall. He looked around for the cockroach, spotted it and waged war on it. In the end, he killed it and then flushed it down the toilet.Kevin returned to the dining table.“One cockroach in the house can ruin the whole atmosphere,” Brielle said.Kevin glanced at her, very much understanding that she was referring not to the cockroach literally but to him.“Did you kill it?” Orlando asked. He was Brielle’s husband. He was the second-in-command in the mansion, after Brielle.Kevin nodded. “Yes, Uncle.”Just then, Brielle
CHAPTER 03
A few minutes later.Kevin followed Cecilia out and hesitantly asked. “A-Are you going to divorce me?” His heart raced as he waited for her response.Cecilia stopped, turned back, and looked around to make sure nobody was nearby. She then stepped closer to him and said, “I want you to get me out of my mother’s hands… that is if you consider me as a prize worth keeping around for a lifetime.”Kevin was very much relieved and excited to hear that. “I-I will make Aunt Brielle to hand you over to me,” he quickly said.Cecilia smiled. “Don’t make me wait too long,” she said and then rode away in her Mercedes Maybach.Kevin then went over to his Chevrolet, a car worth less than 20K when he had bought it after earning some profit in the Serenity company last year.He was driving to Serenity company, which only had one plot to its name in the entire city.The products were manufactured in the rear half of the land, while the front half of the area was where the products were sold.Kevin looke
CHAPTER 04
Filthy target?Touch her belly or her bottom?Thoughts whirled through Kevin’s brain. He remembered the lightning he saw around his hand and the mobile in the bathroom an hour or so ago.What if… something happened to him like it did with the lead actor in a superhero movie?He wanted to give it a try, but the problem was that the voice in his mind was giving him a troublesome task.Assuming Emma was the filthy target, how was he supposed to touch her belly, let alone her butt?It would be too inappropriate.“Your demotion is not far, Kevin,” Emma was slurping on the ice cream in between sentences.A melted piece of the ice cream just happened to fall on her tummy.Kevin’s expression suddenly turned into that of a predator waiting for an opportunity.“Ah, dammit,” Emma looked around for a paper napkin.She grabbed one of the paper napkins on the table, but she felt something touching her tummy.As she turned her head, she saw Kevin’s finger sliding on her dress and picking off the ice
CHAPTER 05
“Don’t worry. I’ve got a plan,” Kevin assured his wife.“What plan?” Cecilia asked. “Don’t you see how Jordan is staring at her fake breasts and butt? It won’t be easy to retain his attention.”“Just trust me with this, Cecilia,” Kevin told her.Cecilia still seemed annoyed. It wasn’t easy for her to convince Jordan and bring him here. Moreover, she was taking a risk by openly showing her support to Kevin. Brielle could oppose Cecilia’s decision, but Cecila still did it anyway.“This is the new toilet seat we’ve prepared,” Emma was showing Jordan by using a stuffed doll for a demo.Just then, Emma’s stomach grumbled so loudly that Jordan and everyone there heard it.“I-I’m sorry,” Emma forced out a smile, but that smile didn’t last long as it felt like her intestines were revolting against her. “E-Excuse me,” she dropped the doll and ran away like her life was on the line.Kevin quietly smiled, while looking a bit surprised as well.Cecilia saw that and wondered if he did something to
CHAPTER 06
Later that afternoon.Cecilia’s elder sister-in-law, Naomi, came to the Serenity company.She began to hear people whispering about Emma.“You weren’t here, but we could hear the farts from all the way down here.”“She hasn’t left the bathroom for hours.”“We brought her energy drinks. She drank them and then went into the bathroom again.”“Kevin called for an ambulance, but you know what? Emma entered the ambulance, but then came running to the bathroom like she forgot something important there.”“Pfft…puhahaha.”As the employees chuckled and laughed hysterically while talking shit about Emma, Naomi was quite upset and angered.“Emma’s image isn’t as solid in this company as I thought,” Noami muttered under her breath. “And they’re referring to Kevin by his name and not referring to him as Boss. These people don’t know how to run a company, do they?”Naomi then entered Kevin’s room.Kevin was reading a business magazine, checking all the ads that were posted.Seeing Naomi, he got up a
CHAPTER 07
Later that evening.Kevin arrived at FlavorNest, the food processing company run by Brielle.Seeing his boring chevloret car, Rory snickered. “You look good in that car. It suits you.”Rory was the second son of Brielle. He looked smart, but he was just a muscular playboy who hid behind his wife Sadia so that he wouldn’t get scolded by his mom.“It’s rare to see you at a board meeting,” Kevin retorted. “What wind brought you here? Or should I ask ‘what skirt brought you here?’”“Watch your tongue, you trash,” Sadia stepped out of the white Porsche. “Rory is going to inherit FlavorNest one day. He’s going to be the official heir of the O’Brian family.”“Good luck with that, little sis,” Kevin replied. “You will need it because Big Sister always sucks up to our Aunt, and there’s no one in this world who doesn’t give in to and reward a persistent subordinate’s hard work.” Sadia glared at him. She had a nose ring and long earrings. She was short but spicy with the tongue and quite devious
CHAPTER 08
A few minutes later.Kevin walked out of the bathroom.Brielle went and personally checked. The words on the glass mirror were gone. The bathroom looked clean.“Don’t mix too much spray,” Brielle said. “Ask the janitor so you can do a better job next time.”Kevin looked at her with a neutral expression.“You will be cleaning the toilet in every board meeting from now on,” Brielle added.With these words, she was indirectly declaring to every board member that she was not in favor of Kevin.And this would only make it all the more difficult for Kevin to survive much less thrive in O’Brian Group.This was like removing the nails of a person and then expecting them to peel garlic cloves.Kevin’s face turned serious. “I want to buy the majority shares of Serenity.”Brielle raised her eyebrows. “That company is worth over a million dollars now. For majority shares, you need half a million. You don’t have that much money.”“If I bring the money, will you sell your shares?” Kevin asked.Brie
CHAPTER 09
Later that night.Kevin returned to the O’Brian mansion, but there were cars parked everywhere, so he had to stop the car outside the mansion.The whole building was lit up with LED decorations.[You have 12 hours left to finish your first mission.]He received an alert from the system.Kevin entered through the front door with a bouquet in his hand.“Grandma, this Chanel bag customised with your initials is yours,” Dabby gave a gift to Orlando’s mom. “Open it.”The woman sitting on the big couch was Venessa O’Brian, a 87-year-old woman, who loved receiving gifts.“Hoho,” Venessa saw the items in the bag. There were high-end spa tickets, custom perfume with a signature scent, travel tickets and more. “You put a lot of thought into this.” She gave Dobby a hug.“Look at my gift, Grandma,” Rory gave her a card.Seeing it, her eyes widened. It was the VIP card of a prestigious gourmet club. “How did you get this?”“You talked about their luxury tea before,” Rory laughed. “So I thought you
CHAPTER 10
Jack Shamus was a forty-year-old man who was yet to marry anyone.On the other hand, Cecilia was only 24 years old, the same age as Kevin.So, no one expected Jack to say those words to a girl sixteen years younger.“Hey, hey, hey… what are you saying?” Cecilia quickly spoke. “I’m already married.”“I’ve heard about it,” Jack looked at Kevin. “Kevin Kingsley is his name, and his dad Roger Kingsley owed to the bank I recently bought. Kevin, your dad’s car that got repossessed is still in my bank’s auction yard. If you want, I can give you that car back. No, you can take any car you want in the yard. As many cars as you want. There’s over a thousand of them.”Everyone was shocked by his words.A thousand cars?Did he just say that out loud?Even if they were all repossessed cars, some of them should be worth over a million just like the Lundaulet he had offered to Venessa O’Brian.Kevin could easily be making hundreds of millions from this deal.All he had to do was give away his wife.K
