A strong glimpse of tears burned in Oliver King's eyes.Those words from Michael came with absolutely mixed emotions!He couldn't believe what he just heard. “Did he just say he loved me?” he mused in a low breath.He slowly turned facing Michael in slow motion to take a proper look at his face.Michael unleashed a faint calm smile with a slight nod.The sergeant zipped his lips. He understood the moment and didn't want to interrupt given the fact they were done with their conversation.He understood the love between father and son and what it meant for Michael to admit he loved Oliver King.He didn't want to ruin the moment!Oliver's expression was plunged in gripping shock not knowing how best to respond.Marshall, who was raised by him, had never acknowledged he loved him.From how Michael spilled those words.

Michael's astonished questions were met with deliberate silence.Oliver King hadn't really opened up to people about the inception of Marshall in the King's family.Hence it was expected for people to presume he was biologically his son.Isn't it ironic that Oliver's adopted son didn't blink twice to plot his elimination through the kitchen assistant?A boy, he gave everything like a father would to his son. What did Oliver get in return? A deadly plot for his permanent exit.If not for the special intervention by Michael in saving him. None would have known what really killed him unless an autopsy was conducted.“How did that all happen?” Michael's curiosity grew more.Oliver exhaled sharply, his face oozed with weary as particles of past events flashed before his eyes.“It was my late wife's sole decision. She desperately wanted an offspring. A male child who will become an heir to the family business.”“At first, I was reluctant to consent with the hope of finding you and your moth

Michael Scofield chose to have an open mind and give his father a listening ear.Burning in fury and keeping malice with Oliver King wouldn't solve anything but rather would make things worse.It was time he heard from the horse's mouth on what really transpired that made him absent in his life for so long.After Oliver's revelation, Lord Eric had tried a couple of times to host both of them for a meeting, but somehow, his efforts had been futile.Lord Eric decided to keep everything in the arms of fate to take charge of the situation.Ordinarily, Michael would have disapproved of Oliver's request of making him the CEO of Kingstown Golden Telecommunications, but on second thought, he knew if he declined the offer, the company would somehow suffer given the fact Marshall wasn't in the option of being an heir.Aside from Mr Snow's and Lord Eric's advice to accept the CEO position. He has always been a great fan of what Oliver has achieved in Kingstown.He might not have a cordial relati

“The past?”“He'll tell you all you need to know.”Michael kept whispering those words after the call with Scarlett disconnected.For a couple of minutes, he had thought less about his temporary detention in the police station and settled his mind on his biological father.He grew up knowing nothing about his father— he was as good as dead, but for strange reasons, Oliver King's revelation changed the course of events.Yes, he didn't have the best father/son relationship with Oliver but one thing certain was he nursed no resentment against him despite being absent in his life for over three decades.The thudding question was what Oliver had been keeping from Michael and when he intended to let the cat out of the bag.“You have a visitor.”“Fifteen minutes is the best I can give.”The sergeant who engaged him about twenty minutes ago informed him.Michael halted from his thoughts and raised his head to dart his eyes to know who had come to see him.Ordinarily, he would have expected Sh

One of the sergeants in the police department Michael had been for days made his way into the interrogation room.The sergeant’s face was free from spite, he calmly stepped inside and politely greeted him.One thing Michael would never deny was how considerate the police officers had been in handling the sensitive case.Their utterances hadn't been extremely condescending. They were simply doing their jobs to uncover if Michael was truly guilty or not.Regardless, they had been respectful of all detention procedures.“Sincerely, I don't think you did all those published about you. But the evidence is everywhere in our faces that we can't just turn a blind eye.”The sergeant calmly engaged him with a tinge of worry etched on his demeanor.Michael leaned further from his seat, his facial expression welcoming as the words of the concerned sergeant resonated with him.“This is not the first time I have been framed but this time around. They did it so well and that I must admit.”“They hav
