The slap Dickson received from the pretty lady in red heels changed everything. Now, the students parted way from the sight of Milton Jackson. Once in a while, he could swear Dickson was staring at him with fear in his eyes. Milton Jackson wasn’t used to this, to make it worse, ever since Brianna told him he should lay low, he has not seen her. At least one thing remained the same, new rumours kept circulating about him. Milton Jackson sauntered to another hall, he had just finished a common course and was heading to one of his main courses. He majored in Sociology and took minor courses in Business Administration. Milton tucked his phone into his pocket and increased his pace. From the screen, he saw Troy not far from him. Milton regretted asking him to ditch the suit, now, Troy wore tight black skinny jeans, a black tight tee shirt that showed his abs and black ankle boots, attracting the attention of men and women. In class, students spoke lowly, his insecurity got the better o

It was also the first time Roger Jackson was taking slow steps, giving the other party time to think and decide. So, why was he going to greater lengths for Milton? Was he lenient because Milton was his brother’s son or did he have other plans? Milton felt Brianna’s eyes on him, he smiled timidly, “something on my face?” “Move in tomorrow,” Brianna said lowly. Milton ignored her and gazed at the beautiful sight of the city under the moonlight. The car stopped, and Milton realized he wasn’t at the hotel’s parking lot, “where are we? Why are we here?” Replying, “shopping.” She rushed to open Milton’s door. “I have clothes, Brianna,” Milton looking ahead. “You will need them soon, sir.” Brianna undid Milton’s seat belt and then patted his shoulder awkwardly. Studying her face, he knew Brianna would drag him to the boutique if she had to. Customers were still inside shopping. Milton has never been to any kind of a boutique. He was used to buying his clothes on the street and a

The government released a tender a few months ago for the supply of goods to East National Prison and Roger’s company had been one of the many companies that had applied to get it. He had his reason that he couldn’t share.The letters of the awards were sent today to different companies’ Emails and The Jacksons Inc wasn’t one of them.So, while Brianna was driving Milton to see Roger Jackson, Roger Jackson was in a Zoom meeting with the minister of foreign affairs.When she left Milton in the sitting room, she didn’t think it would take a while to inform Rogers, Milton was here. So, when she arrived at the office, she found him in a heated conversation with the minister of foreign affairs.Roger Jackson wasn’t having any of his explanation. His company should have been on the list.Knowing the minister, Caleb, a family associated with Glen Inc, the company that got the tender instead of Jackson Inc, she had to step in and solve the matters before the squabble turned into something mor

A video was playing in front. It was Milton. In the same outfit. Today. Scrolling on his phone as he wrote in the CAT sheet. He looked at his phone and then at the screen. How did that happen?Milton was confused. He didn’t recall using his phone during the exam. Hell, he hasn’t used it in days. With no friends and a lover, the phone has been the last thing on his mind. So, how did this happen? Why was he there? The video humiliating him as if he hadn’t been humiliated enough?From Rickie in the morning and now this, Milton knew whoever had his cards of life was drunk and half asleep while playing.The students streamed in and began throwing their pens at him, claiming it was time he paid for his sins. He looked back and for the first time, he wanted Troy and Gio to rush in and take him away.Too bad, they were nowhere to be found, and so were Dominic and Findley.Milton yelled, “I did not cheat. I don’t cheat.”“You are lying.” It was Natalie. She dabbed her finger on his forehead, a

Milton wanted to snore so bad. To pretend he didn’t hear what they were speaking. But how could he when Brianna was next to his head fanning him speaking to Roger, “he has been awake for the last few minutes.”What was she playing at? It was the same question Milton and Roger Jackson had in their minds.Brianna was playing a dangerous game and she knew it. Yes, she was Roger’s hand-woman but that didn’t give her the free pass of talking ill about his nephew.The nephew waited patiently for Roger to yell at Brianna to leave again. But the more he waited, the more he realized the man wasn’t going to repeat his words.He felt a hand in his short-trimmed hair. If he hadn’t been listening to his hammering heart, he would have fallen into another deep slumber.Roger Jackson was playing with Milton’s hair to avoid dragging Brianna out of there. He was outside while they were speaking about Milton and whatever reason Brianna had, he didn’t want to hear it.“Sir, you didn’t have to come. I was
