Though the party ended on a happy note, after Edgar and Elena left, Franco still had some questions to answer at home.

“Where do you think you are going, huh?” Granny's voice echoed in the lounge after they had all returned from the banquet, stopping Franco from walking to his room.

“I'm going up, to my room…”

“To your room?” Granny asked, hitting her walk-stick on the ground. “Even after what happened today, you still have the Effrontery to sleep? What type of a fool are you?”

Franco remained quiet. He wouldn't want to get into a fight with the old lady.

“You always make it difficult for us in this family. You go about humiliating us everywhere you go. You just want to stain the hell out of the name of this family!” Granny's voice kept echoing in rage as she clutched to her walk-stick tightly, refusing to even look at Muna who was standing beside her.

“After everything which happened today, Franco, I came to a decision!” Granny said, releasing the gravity at which she held the walk-s

    “Yes, Edgar and I are getting married this Saturday and you are invited!” Elena's voice stunned from nowhere. Franco looked up, seeing her, his agitation increased.He remembered instantly how Dave would call him and ask him which company he would like Elena to be partnering with.Franco remembered how many millions of dollars he spent on Elena; how he had endured all the pain of easily revealing his Identity to her and how he also made her company in the world chart as number three most loyal.As his brain accelerated all these taunting memories, Elena passed a glass of juice to Franco, jolting him out of his thoughts.“Have it!” She said, pushing the glass closer to him. “ I doubt you don't need it at this moment. I mean,who wouldn't it be so thirsty after hearing that his previous cute ex-wife is finally getting married again…”“Did you both invite me here to tell me about your marriage?” Franco asked, cutting Elena off.“Yes, Franco!” Edgar responded to Franco's query. “As Elena'

    Franco left straight to the Scott Mansion. He prayed nobody saw the task which he had left uncompleted before going to meet Edgar.But his hope didn't go as it seemed. When he arrived home, he was welcomed with the bucket of water flung across his face.Looking up, it was none other person but Granny. She stood there, glaring at him with a pissed expression, clutching her walk-stick tightly.“Where are you coming from, Franco?” Granny yelled.“I had some important tasks to complete….’“What is more important than doing the chores, huh? I gave you this task to complete as a punishment for your nonchalant behavior the other day but you neglected it and went out to do what pleases you. How disrespectful!” Granny didn't mind her age, she was still active in terms of scolding people she didn't like, especially someone like Franco.Franco, on the other hand, couldn't say a word. He could only keep his face bowed before the old Lady.“I am sorry, Granny…”“Sorry for yourself!” Granny cut hi

    With the images right before his face, Franco was astounded. He could only smile, finding it very hard to believe them.The image had Edgar and Mara having lunch in a VIP lounge. If he is not wrong, Mara doesn't have any connection with Edgar. The only relationship they share is Edgar's closeness to Elena so how on earth were they in that type of s setting seeming to have a cool conversation? But the images are clear.Another one had the both of them smiling at each other. That doesn't seem like normal pictures. There is no way they could be having a casual meal together.They seemed so attached but Franco was still baffled until he saw the image where Mara was feeding Edgar.“This is unbelievable!” Franco muttered to himself. “Has Edgar been cheating on Elena? But how long has this been going on?” He collected his phone and dialed Dave's number “Hello…” Dave answered the call.“When were the pictures taken? And every information you supplied here, are they legit?” Franco asked,

    Franco remained silent. He didn't react nor did he say anything to them in response.Mara was surprised. So, she is right? Franco's sudden silence proved it all– he is a spy indeed.Understanding this properly, Mara whispered to Edgar.“We were right when we said that this man here is a spy! Look at him, he is so timid and it's obvious that he is scared of that mask pulling off his nose!”Edgar turned to Franco, keeping his voice as low as possible. “I will advise you to open that mask of yours and let us see what you have got behind that mask!”“Refusal to do that will result in another problem and I promise, you won't like what I am bringing to the table….”“I am not a spy! I am only a worker here. I don't know you both and nobody sent me here” Franco made his voice so innocent but that didn't convince Edgar and Mara.It seemed like his time was up. Edgar dragged Franco's collar, raising the attention of other customers.“Since you don't want to pull off that mask, I will make you p

    Franco thought he had heard it all until Edgar responded to Mara's words.“I know that I am the father of your baby but I still know what my parental responsibility is! I have so many things on my shoulders and I wouldn't want your sister to be aware of our relationship. At least, not now that I am about to take over Froston Empire!”Franco scoffed. Everything was unbelievable but sadly, they are all true. Edgar wants nothing but Elena's property. He was once a rich man but even pretending to be rich again hasn't made his plan a successful one, so marrying Elena and making her transfer all of her properties to his name would definitely make a do.“So, what are you planning to do? I hope you are aware that Froston Empire is into a big loan and we need so much amount to pay off such a loan!” Mara said to Edgar, recollecting Franco's brain. “I know that this marriage is nothing to you. I believe that you are only marrying my sister because of her money. After taking over all of her prope

    “Work as a servant? At his ex-wife's wedding?” Franco couldn't hide his astonishment. What is Granny trying to force him to do? Of course, that is a very good way to bring him down to nothing– Serving as a SERVANT in Elena's wedding?“My husband won't be doing that!” Muna spoke up for Franco. “I won't sit and watch Franco serve his ex-wife….”“You better stay out of this, Muna!” Granny ranted, pinching Muna. “This man here doesn't deserve to be your husband! Just because I allowed him to stay here to complete the task doesn't mean he is cherished. He is not valued and you of all the people should be aware of that!”She turned to Franco immediately. “Now, you! You will do as I have told you. Make sure you are in those attire and leave before any of us tomorrow. Nothing must go wrong….”“But I'm not interested in doing this, Granny!” Franco objected to the offer, refusing to look at Rita who has those smiles of Victory surrounded on her face. “I have also been invited to the reception.

    By 6:43 AM,Granny already woke Franco from sleep. She reminded him that family duties come first before that of another. Meaning that Franco ought to take care of the household chores before leaving for the banquet designed for Elena and Edgar's marriage.While Franco was arranging the big Scott Mansion, his phone beeped. It was a text message from Dave.“Sir, how are we planning to expose Edgar's secret affair?” The text read. Franco made sure nobody was glaring at him. He texted back.“Get all the men who will work at the banquet ready. They will all be our men so that by the snap of my fingers, they'd know what to do next!”“Okay, Sir!” Dave responded and Franco shut his phone before continuing his duty.By the time he finished the chores in the Scott's Mansion, it was almost 9 AMHe had to also prepare breakfast for all of them and make sure it was ready before Granny, especially Muna, woke up.“Is breakfast ready?” Granny asked as she walked to the dining room. “Yes, Granny!

With the guests sitting in two rows parted by the aisle, and the stage/altar in the front.“Today is a very big day for you, Elena! You will finally get married to the man of your heart, I am pretty sure that he will be super excited to have you as his wife!” Rita whispered to Elena as she led her to the stage.“You are right, mother” Elena responded in her slightest tone. “Edgar and I will officially be settling down as husband and wife. First of all, I have my silly Ex-husband work as a janitor on this special day of mine. Secondly, I will be able to use Edgar's company to my advantage…”“Don't tell me you still believe that Edgar owns Narvis Corp?” Rita's face changed immediately but she immediately gave up her cute, smiling face to convince the guests that she was happy. “Franco brought all the evide

    Adam's homecoming party was held at Skye Bar, a glamorous venue owned by GLC under the Ruffian Group, generally headed by Franco Milton. The entire banquet hall had been decorated beautifully, tailored perfectly to Adam Khan’s taste. He had made sure to invite Franco personally to this grand occasion—so the man who once watched him fall could now watch him rise again, even after being framed. But when Adam looked around and didn't see Franco, he was astounded. The entire Scott family was present, but Franco was nowhere in sight. Adam was about to be called to the stage to receive his honorary welcome, and he couldn’t shake the feeling of irritation—Franco had to see him walk that stage. As Muna and Granny mingled with other guests, Adam and Elena approached them. Noticing their presence, Muna politely excused herself from the guests and turned sharply—her eyes narrowing at the sight of Elena holding Adam’s hand like a rightful wife. “And what brought you both here? Especially yo

    When Franco regained consciousness, he found himself on the hotel bed.He put his hands on his head because they hurt badly.“God! What happened?” Franco groaned, checking his wrist watch for the time.He tried to remember what happened before he slept off and why he was sleeping. But he couldn't remember a thing.The last thing he remembered was the steward serving him a glass of juice whole he was waiting for Muna's entrance.“It is already two hours and Muna is not here!” Franco thought to himself. “What could be keeping her from coming?”He inquired from himself before his phone started vibrating. He searched for his phone and later found it on the seat.He answered the call.“Hello!” “Where are you, Franco?” It was Muna on the call. Franco immediately remembered that Muna had asked him to come to the hotel. He glanced at the phone in confusion.“It's been two Hours already, Muna but you are not here. You asked me to come over to the hotel, didn't you?”“What hotel are you talki

    Sarah continued walking closer to Franco with her exposed breasts. As she did this, Franco found it difficult to hold onto her.He was unsure if it was truly Muna coming to him or another person.But he wasn't sure what to believe. The drink he had was manipulative. He wouldn't only see Muna in Sarah, he would also be tipsy so he wouldn't be able to realise his right from his left.“Is that you, Muna?” Franco asked, holding his head. His head hurt but he ignored it.Sarah finally got close to him. She started glaring at him, almost lost in love at first sight.“Honestly, I have never seen a man as handsome as he is. He is so handsome….” She muttered to herself. “I am not doing this for the money. I am doing this to satisfy myself because he is so handsome. Let me get into business!”She added and grabbed Franco's hands. She placed his hands on her boobs and made him squeeze them.The camera captured this immediately. “Do you like them?” Sarah asked Franco, adjusting her sitting posit

This he did and was in the Kitchen when Caleb walked out.He has a motive. He wanted to get hold of Muna's phone so he could easily text Franco the address to meet up with her.So, he waited until Muna ate.“I'm out…” Muna said out loud, walking out of the mansion. The moment she wanted to leave the house, she bumped into Caleb who hit her so hard on her shoulder, making her items fall off.Caleb quickly got down, packing her bag which had dropped. “I am sorry, Muna!” He Uttered as he continued packing her bag “No, it's okay. It was my fault as well, I wasn't paying attention to where I was going” Muna responded.Caleb handed her her bag. “Take, I packed them for you!” “Thank you” Muna greeted, smiling happily at Caleb. “I will be on my way already!” She walked forward, leaving the mansion.

    Following Franco's words, Muna glowed in satisfaction. She just like the Scotts were surprised to see Franco disrespect Mr Jones.They expected him to lick Mr Jones' shoes. But he failed to do so.Mr Jones on the other hand was speechless. He couldn't say anything to Franco. He just watched him walk out along with Muna. Granny was left in awe. She never expected Franco to stand on his right.His action just left them speechless. When Franco left the dinning to her room, Mr Jones kicked the chairs angrily.“How dare Franco disrespect me in that manner? He didn't just disobey me, he also humiliated me. I can't stand this!” Mr Jones barked, his tone full of poison. Caleb could only stare at him.Watching Mr Jones express his hatred towards Franco made him so happy. He didn't say anything, he only enjoyed Mr Jones squeezing his hands in anger.“I will get back at him for this!” Mr Jones continued ranting. “ He made me feel like a fool before Muna and Granny. I will get back at him for t

    Franco found Mr Jones' utterance amusing. He couldn't hold his laughter, instead he chuckled lightly.“Lick your feet?” He asked, his tone lacing with Sarcasm. “Yes!” Mr Jones responded, grinning happily. “You should do what I asked you to do without even complaining. Besides, it is not a big deal for someone as low as you are. So, just go on and lick my feet!” Franco ceased the smile on his face, taking a careful sight at all of them. Starting from Granny to Caleb to Muna and lastly to Mr Jones.All of them, except Muna, had the same facial expression. You could tell from their faces that they didn't give a damn about how Franco would react, they just believed that no matter what happens, Franco would eventually do as Mr Jones had commanded him.As they all anticipated what would occur next, Muna stepped out to defend her husband. She grabbed Franco's hand softly and looked up to Mr Jones.“Franco here is my husband. I will not allow you to disgrace him before everyone…’“I am not

    When Franco arrived home, he was ordered to serve food for the Scotts.He served the meals to Muna and her family. They preferred having him cook for them to employing a professional cook. In that way, they thought they were doing him but Franco just forced himself to put up and endure that kind of treatment from them. At least, for now.As he served Muna her portion of the Chinese Rice, she greeted him “Thank You” with a smile on her face.Franco mirrored the smile, making an attempt to leave when Caleb brought up a conversation.He dropped the glass of wine in his hand amd turned to Granny.“We seemee to be forgetting something here, Granny” He uttered, giving Granny some weird look. Granny tried to remember but was unable to.She asked Caleb to remind of what she had forgotten. Caleb smiled.“The Welcome Party of the biggest Entertainment Industry in Otlanto, Khan Media CEO's welcome party! He had invited all of us and would really appreciate it if he come!’Granny nodded immediate

They couldn't stand the face of the news so they had to call Mr Jones to hear from him.When Mr Jones arrived, he told them everything that happened in the office, hiding the fact that he wanted Shie Xie to sign a contract with Khan Media. But even with that, Mrs Nathan and Caleb still found fault in it and pointed all the mistakes on Franco!Caleb kicked a stool beside him angrily, throwing off the glasses on it.“Stupid! Stupid Franco! That Franco annoys me to the core!” He remarked walking from and to the lounge.
