"But we are brothers"Daniel argues only annoying Milan further."You may leave now. I'll contact you after I confirm all that you've said"Milan said pointing at the door for Daniel to leaveDaniel, still on his knees frowns a bit before getting off his knees."Again. I'm sorry for everything"Milan could hear the insincerity in Daniel's voice but he decided to ignore it.Daniel gets up his feet slowly and dusts his knees before leaving. He takes one last look at Milan before he shuts the door.Milan lets out a long sigh he didn't know he had been holding once Daniel had left. Milan picked up his phone and dialed his P.I's number.The line rang twice before Mark responded. "Hello Boss. What can I do for ya?"Milan taped his fingers on his table before speaking."We need to meet tommorow"…"It's confirmed. You guys are actually stepbrothers"Milan felt the throw the glass of cocktail in his hand on the wall. "What did you say?!"Milan asked in disbelief gripping the bottom of his
Daniel lets out a chuckle."Well, isn't it obvious? I came to see my brother. "Milan glared at Daniel."I've told you to stop calling me that. I'm not even your blood brother. "Milan scolds through gritted teeth."Why did you come all the way to my house? You know I can throw you out. "Milan says strictly, causing a nervous chuckle from Daniel.Daniel puts up his hands in surrender."Whoa. I promise I didn't come to look for any trouble. I mean it when I said I just came to see you. I mean besides…"Daniel gets up from the sofa and looks around the house."...This house is freaking huge. Maybe I was just curious to see where my stepbrother lived. "Daniel said, adding a harmless shrug. "How did you know I lived here?"Milan wasn't going to give up his questions. It was his day off, and he just wanted to rest and have peace of mind, but Daniel was already ruining it with his presence."It wasn't that difficult. I mean, it's not like you live in a jungle. "Daniel said, adding a bri
Milan couldn't understand why he didn't feel any fear as he drove with Daniel to their unknown destination. Milan couldn't remember the last time he was ever afraid. If he could remember, then it would be when he was still being treated like a slave under Ella. He would fear Ella getting back home, and the dinner he prepared wasn't fully ready yet, or he hadn't completed all the horrendous chores she had dumped on him before she left for work.Or the teacup he broke that belonged to Ella's mother.Milan wasn't afraid anymore. Especially not of Daniel anymore."Okay. We're finally here!"Daniel exclaimed as the car came to a halt before he stepped down from the back seat without waiting for the driver to open the door for him.Milan, still seated at the back of the car, looked at the small house in front of them. Milan wondered who the house belonged to and why Daniel had brought him there. The door was opened for him by Daniel himself, who beat his bodyguard to it. Daniel stood ho
Aunt Pamela was rushed to the hospital. Daniel sits by her bedside appearing sorrowful while Milan just stands next to him staring at his Aunt laying on the bed helplessly.Milan didn't expect that was the way he would meet his aunt and for some reason he felt was concerned if she was going to die. Milan had watched his father die right in his face the first day he had met and the first day he met his Aunt, she had passed out.Milan only hoped that she wouldn't die just on the day he met her. Milan hadn't said a word to Daniel ever since they had rushed his Aunt to the hospital. Daniel kept a pained expression as he looked at his Aunt. For some reason, he also looked angry. Daniel stood up with a dull look on his face."I'm going to talk to the Doctor"Daniel stated before he proceeded to walk towards the door. Milan still standing with his two hands in his pocket didn't turn around to look at Daniel when he asked."Did you know she was unwell?"Daniel nods not looking at Milan be
Milan was not looking forward to the meeting with the board of directors when he walked into Royals Modelling company that morningMilan didn't know what they wanted from him, but he was going to find out. Milan knocked on the large door twice before a 'come in' is said by one of the directors. Milan adjusts his tie before twisting the knob of the door handle and walking into the office. The board of directors all gathered on a round table talking amongst themselves. When they see Milan, they all keep silent. They were all a bunch of men looking like they were in their 30s and 40', and they eyed Milan like he was a piece of meat. " Milan Reyes. Welcome. Take a sea. t"One of the directors sai, and Milan took a seat at the head of the table while the rest of them looked at him, some murmuring to themselves. Milan cleared his throat, grabbing their attention."I suppose you have a reason for summoning me?"One of the directors cleared his throat and leaned forward, sending Milan
Ella looked like she had just seen a ghost as she stared at Milan. Milan, who was already in a bad mood due to the directors, ended up sending her a cold look.Ella sent him a small smile as the models passed by."Goodmorning sir"Ella said, and Milan was a bit surprised by her decent tone. If anything, Ella looked happy that morning that it made Milan curious. Even though her phone has fallen on the ground and might have cracked, Ella didn't look displeased with Milan at all. "What is so good about the morning?"Milan asks in a cold tone before walking past her like she is invisible. For a minute, a lot of thoughts ran through Milans head as he wondered back on Ella's expression. Milan wanted to know what was making hee do joyful. After all, from what he had heard from Daniel the other day, they had broken up. Milan didn't like seeing that smile on Ella's face at all, and he was determined to wipe it off. Milan walked into Daniel's previous office and crossed his legs on the tab
"Look how beautiful you look, Ella."One of the models who was Ella's friend, exclaims as she stares at her in the mirror. Ella sent her a proud smile as she examines hee makeup which was done for hee by the makeup artist. Ella was always filled with joy when it was like this event because she felt like a start to be chosen to represent the company amongst the other models. Ella would get stared at with jealousy by other models everytime she was chosen for the event and the look on their faces always filled her heart with joy because she loved how they envied her since most of them hated her anyways."Of course I do. I am beautiful after all, "Ella said, admiring herself in the mirror. "It's showtime, ladies! Get to your seats. "The announcer on the speaker said, and all the girls rushed out of the dressing room. Watch the show. Ella walked out of the dressing room, majestically making her way to join the models who were to walk the runway. On her way there, a lot of models wh
Ella's mouth was slightly opened as she stared at Milan in horror. She couldn't believe Milan was capable of taking away her happiness within seconds.It scared her.Milan could almost smile as he saw the shocked look on Ella's face. Milan had been watching heeme as she strutted down the halls with pride on hee shoulders and he watched her smile get wipes off in an instant.Now the look of sorrow on Ella's face was what Milan always wanted to see. As he felt someone like her didn't deserve to he happy when she bright others pain. "Y-You did this to me? Why?"Ella asks in utter disbelief as a tear dropped from her eye. Milan makes eye contact with the security guards and signal then to drag Ella along. Ella trashed in their hands but it looked like she was making no effort at all ash's eh looked like a tiny ant in the hands of the muscular guards."That's okay"Milan said when they had reached their destination. Milan gestured for the security guards to set Ella down on the ground wh
