"The day you show your face in the Milburn house is the day you stop to draw breath!" That was the first text message Mc woke up to and instead of being scared, he smiled at his phone "Oh boy, this little John boy thinks he can pull threats on me." He tossed his phone to Michael who slept in the same bed with him but his reaction was different. "This ain't funny to me Mc." He sat up and shifted closer."Why are you smiling Mc? This guy is crazy!""Nah he ain't crazy, he's just stupid. And he ain't stopping me, I'm going to meet my dad today.""Wow man, are you serious right now? I can't believe you're finally gonna do this." Michael's joy was unhidden and it was pure, he had waited for so long to see that day come and it finally came. He wasn't the one who'll be the son to Ethan Milburn, he wasn't the one who'll be rich and he wasn't the one to be living in mansions with servants, but he was happy from the bottom of his heart that his best friend in the world was going to embrace his
"Listen to me and listen carefully, you're not going to wire any money to me, you're going to the bank to get cash and put it in a bag and then I'll tell you where to drop it off." The voice of Michael came over the phone as he spoke to Melissa, trying so hard to make speak with a deep voice and sound like Alberto. He knew the game he was playing was risky, if Melissa reports to the police and they track that call, it could lead straight to him, and who would want to hear him say he didn't really initiate the process? No one would consider the fact that the initial blackmail started from Alberto."But I honestly can't leave my house please, can I just wire the money to you? It'll be a lot easier.""Wire the money to me and make it easy to trace me? Nice try girl. You're in no position to propose anything. You either follow my instructions or I send your videos all over the Internet!" He threatened her and noticed the change in her voice, she was so scared and it rather made Michael fe
"This is the happiest day of my entire life and I am so proud to be here with every single one of you." Ethan Milburn spoke to everyone seated at the big dining table. The table was surrounded by members of the Milburn family and close business associates. Just beside Ethan Sat was his younger brother Alvaro Milburn who was born from a different mother, a Spaniard who their father fell in love with while on a business trip in Spain. It was a happy day, a lovely day and a day he had waited to see for a very long time. His son, Mc Ethan finally accepted to meet with him. Two days back, they had done a DNA test which proved that Mc was indeed his offspring and this day, they gathered to celebrate the arrival of Mr Ethan's one and only true son Mc Ethan."I lived my entire life knowing that this young man seated here was living a very normal life somewhere. I longed to see how he looked and to see the man he's become, but I never got any of that. Just when I was just about to lose hope, w
John couldn't believe where his selfishness and recklessness had brought him. Tears rolled down his eyes as the prison gates clanged shut behind him and it echoed a finality that sent shivers down his spine. This was a whole new environment, this wasn't the Milburn mansion anymore and there were no servants nor cooks. And definitely, no one was going to call him "young master." He stood in the harsh, fluorescent-lit intake area as he thought about every wrong thing he'd done, "I really shouldn't have done all of this." He whispered to himself. His heart beat faster as the cold steel of handcuffs bit right into his soft wrists as the prison guards processed him. "God, what have I gotten myself into? If only I was calm and appreciated how lucky I was to be a member of that family, I wouldn't be here now." The thoughts kept coming and that made him regret more and more. He was about to say a silent prayer before he heard Officer Thomas barking "John Milburn, from this very minute, you're
The new young master, Mc took a walk around the Milburn mansion which had become his home since the celebrations, though John's jealousy ruined most of the day, the rest of the family found a way of getting together and welcoming him just as they should, "I know I've been absent all your life my son, but I want you to know that you've always been in my heart and I've always loved you." The voice of his father played again in his head as he admired the beautiful flowers perfectly placed on the long passage to the kitchen. He had no specific place in mind as he walked around, he just wanted to explore the house and get to know things better."Hey my friend, you are looking happy this morning." Arjun Khan said to the sight of Mc sniffing the flowers in the verse. "Oh Khan, of course I'm happy, I have no worries. I've spent most of my life being worried but since I moved in here, everything's changed.""Good one my friend, I hope you have a good time, cos you'll be here forever, it is your
Early in the morning and Mc was in the expensive gym lifting some weights after a good number of pushups, it was awesome to have such facilities right in his home and it'd become a daily routine for him to walk right into the gym after waking up. "Yeah I see you getting bigger," He spoke to his muscles as he raised the dumbbell up and down while heavy music played through his headphones, he was so taken away with workout and didn't know Emily had taken a pause from heading to the kitchen to look at him for a while, she she got lost looking as his sculpted physique glistened with sweat, accentuating the well-defined muscles that rippled with every movement. The result of dedicated gym sessions was evident in the chiseled contours and toned strength, showcasing a body that exuded both fitness and confidence. She liked what she saw, but a thought crossed her mind "Easy there Emily, he's on a higher class, rich guy with lamborghinis can't go for a cook like you."She knew she'd admired for
It was a bad night, a sad night in the Milburn mansion as Mc and Mr. Khan rushed to his father's room after hearing him cough severally, his condition had gotten worse and they were shocked to see blood coming from his mouth, "my world, Khan that's blood!" Mc exclaimed to his first sight of the red liquid which had already stained the white bed sheets. The city sprawled beneath a star-studded sky as the young master, Mc manoeuvred through the maze of urban arteries leading to the hospital, he had never felt his heart pound so fast and never imagined he'd drive a car with so much speed in the night "Hey Mc, I know this is urgent but I think you gotta be more careful," Khan advised in a friendly way"I know Khan but I can't stand the feeling of losing my father, I've only known him for a short while and there's still a lot I'd what to catch up on." His hands were firmly on the steer as he made a right turn. The sirens wailing from a distance added an ominous backdrop to the urgency tha
Nothing was the same anymore, the normal life of waking up and heading to the gym to lift some weights had changed and now all Mc could do was wake but wrap himself up in the thick bed sheets avoiding conversations with everyone. "You need to eat my friend, your father wouldn't be happy if he was here to watch you live like this, you still need to be healthy." Khan would alway say whenever he saw him like that.Someone knocked at the door but Mc said nothing, he didn't care if they decided to enter or leave, the young master just wanted to be left alone.The door opened silently and someone seemed to have walked closer, they said nothing and the room was quiet for sometime, it was quite unusual because Mc had become used to people walking in and starting to talk right away "I'm sorry but everything will be fine." they would always say.This time, Mc opened the sheets he covered all over his head and he saw Emily standing in front of him with a tray of food."I brought you some food.
