Even most guests took several steps back, not wanting to get involved."Miller? Are you sick? Why would you do that to him!" Megan frowned."Call my dad!" Raymond shouted.His father was at the VIP table outside in the cool garden, so the people there had no clue what was happening at this part of the party.Grandma Christina walks up to Miller, her eyes bloodshot red, "Get out this instant! Get your stupid self out of my party!" "Yes!""You heard her! Get lost! I wonder who even invited such a moron here.""It's best if he leaves! The party was going smoothly before his presence!""You heard the people! Take your daughter, and leave! It's already worse that you lost your marriage by not doing what you were supposed to do!"All the while the people murmured about him, and his in-laws added theirs, Megan didn't say a word.She stood among the crowd as her family were berating Miller, but she was helpless, plus, Miller was partially at fault for hitting Raymond and causing all this cha
Miller arrived home at 9: 30 pm. Megan didn't come with him, so he was left with Aliyah."I wanna sleep in Billy's room." Aliyah protested as her father was taking her to their apartment."Okay." Miller turned and entered his in-laws house. He took her to her cousin's room where she wanted, placed her on the bed as she was fast asleep.He walked down from the stairs and as he was about to leave, he heard a newscaster's voice on the TV in the living room.".... The man identified as Mr. Jonathan Scott was found dead an hour ago by the unpopular Pinix road.... reports reaching us that he was alleged to be at Everred days ago, and our source confirmed that his death was from an enemy.... "Hearing this, Miller stood and watched the clip of them carrying Jonathan's body, and his car was still there. Miller took the remote control, turned the TV off. Since he didn't hear Levi and Master Franco talking about it, he thought they were trying to keep it a secret, only now he realized that he
‘No matter how you try, you’d never find the body of your twin brother. Even if you were to be a ghost! You’ll never find him. He has been buried in a place too deep, even the devils of the earth can’t reach him.’ Miller sighed as he stood in front of the crowd; lost in his own thoughts…. An incident that happened six years ago. The men in front of him were soldiers and as he walked around, they all saluted him. As Miller expected, convoys of black cars filled the place, causing him to smirk. As he walked over to the car, he heard a voice behind him. “I thought you changed your mind after last night's discussion. And, are you still keeping your position as the Almighty General a secret or….?” One of the supreme rulers asked Miller who opened his car door. The middle-aged man didn't dare look up at Miller, his tone filled with respect. Miller had ruled greatly in the past years and it was more reason why he and the other rulers behind him wanted him to remain in the east prov
He didn't realize there was someone also in the kitchen with the kid. “It tastes heavenly, Aliyah … you're beginning to cook like a pro. Even better than me.” Miller heard the maid who was at the other corner say after tasting the food. It was then that it dawned on him that this malnourished looking kid was the one who prepared the food she was dishing into the bowl; and Paxton was upstairs, telling her not to serve herself after all her efforts?! This got Miller frowning. Especially since he had a hunch that the girl was related to the Grant family. “No, what if sir Paxton checks my mouth?” Aliyah shook her head, rejecting the small portion of food the maid handed over to her. “Eat it fast, he won't find out.” The maid had this sorry look in her eyes as she said to Aliyah. “There's no bread to give you tonight as sir Paxton had hid the keys to the locker.” “Where is my mummy? I wanna go to her.” Aliyah said almost in tears as she wiped the sweat off her face. It was obvi
He had a fearless gaze as he angrily yelled at Miller. Six years was sure a long time and considering how skinny and poorly looking Miller used to be, he didn't recognize him…. The man in front of him had a different hair color and abs.“Put my niece down, and get the fuck out of my house!” Paxton thundered.Miller smiled, “Oh, so she's suddenly your niece, huh? You're a lunatic!” He thundered, his voice echoing throughout the building. His intimidating aura got everyone ready to flee from the kitchen.Even Paxton didn't bother going any closer.“You're so dead!” Paxton smirks as he sees four of their guards standing at the door entrance. He had this relief and confident smile.“Make sure he's not breathing.” Paxton commanded them.“He has a death wish… we'd make that come true!” One of the men yells before attacking Miller.Smack! Smack! Bang!Before Paxton could process what he just witnessed, all the guards were groaning on the floor.“Not my eyes! Fuck!”“I can't see… shit…”“My b
Megan paused and stared at her husband in horror. The man rolled his eyes, “Hey! Stop dreaming… you don't even look like someone who can afford to breathe here…. And you want me to chase my customers for you? Even the richest man here cannot afford to pay that…” “How much?” Miller cut him short. “2 million dollars! Do you have that? Well I thought as much…. Wake up from your slumber and get your ass out of here or I'd make you regret your existence….” The man barked. “Don't just sit there! Or you think men dressed in rags are who we offer our service to?” “Don't say that to my daddy… you're mean...” Aliyah said but Megan was quick to cover her mouth. “Good… put a leech on your daughter. Her daddy can only blab! You beggars have got some guts!” The man shouted. Miller's palm formed a fist and the atmosphere became intense as he stood from his seat. “Did you just say that to my daughter?” Miller checked his name tag at his left chest; it was Dustin Brown. “Fucker…” be
“Your time is almost up, buddy…. This place isn't cleared yet!” Miller said coldly to Dustin. Though the place was filled with wealthy men, of the same caliber as the mafia lord, none of them dared look Miller in the eyes. At least not after what they all just witnessed. “Get out… get out…. All of you! Leave this minute!” Dustin yelled out coldly at the customers who were still sitting and watching. Most of them left, and the ones who were brave to stay started packing their bags immediately. They were terrified at what they saw, but most of them had ordered wines worth a million, even if they wanted to stay behind and have them, then had to run for their dear lives. “I think he was hit by lightning.” “It was beyond human imagination….” Miller heard the customers whimpering as they ran out. In less than 51 seconds, the place was clear and quiet. One of the hefty men snapped his fingers and a tall fair lady walked up to Miller's table, her head facing the ground. “Welcome…to t
“Your replacement! - now that you've said that, James… I agree…. He can take his ‘Mistake’ of a daughter along with him after doing the needful!” Levi thundered.Miller's hand formed a fist upon hearing those words. It seems, ‘Mistake' was the title given to his little daughter by the Grant family. The urge to make them regret their actions filled him but he hid those feelings and tried to be civil with his in-laws. They were still Aliyah’s grandparents. “Hahaha! I trust you, uncle. I wouldn't be needing a ‘Mistake' in my house.” James mocked.Miller frowned and turned to James with a stern look, “If you value your tongue, you better tie it! The respect I have for my inlaws are the reason you're still breathing. Keep my daughter out of that trash hole in your face!”“Haha! It seems the army has given you the audacity to talk back! Do you know who is sitting before you?” James scoffed, “You’re a nobody compared to my status. Did you see the Maybach outside? Even if you were to be sold

"It's business related.... I had to talk to my boss, why?" Miller said on the other end.Though he lied, he didn't want her to get worried. Plus, he was hoping that Tasha had not said a word of his nose bleeding to her."Do you have a single idea that your name has been called for you to present your gift to Granny?" Megan was harsh."Oh, just give me a second." Miller ended the call, took one look at the mirror, hoping his bleeding nose had stopped completely before walking out of the restroom.He had heard the whole thing that happened, plus Nora was present in the hall, so he knows of everything that happened while he was away.He so badly wanted to come out and punch that bastard's face in, but he couldn't risk Megan and her family seeing him in this state.They didn't know what was wrong with him, he himself had no idea, and he seriously doesn't care. He wasn't going to any fucking hospital.Hopefully, after a few days, he wouldn't have this feeling, but for now, he has made sure
The entire Grant family nodded in agreement after what he just said.Megan on the other hand just stood there without saying a word. Raymond sighed deeply, "I'll love to get your blessings in marrying the absolute love of my life." Woah!A heated discussion, whisper, and murmur filled the air. "You have my blessings, though." Paxton muttered. He never saw that bastard called Miller as his brother-in-law in the first place. But the murmurings in the crowd never stopped. Didn't Raymond know that Megan had a husband? He was literally hitting on another man's wife! Because the man wasn't present?Everyone knew even if Miller was present, Raymond would go ahead with his speech. He wasn't afraid of no shit!"Since It's your birthday," Raymond continued, ".... It's only right to present this to you." He hands the box to her and she slowly unwraps it.At the instant, the crowd stood up, gasping with a stunned expression."Is that what I think it is...?" Megan stared at it in disbelief.Ev
It was natural for the hall to be filled with sophisticated men and women. Though the Grant family were a third class family, old Master Franco's and old lady Christina's influence had gotten the birthday the talk of the town.Different brands of cars were parked outside, and the media was also present, flashing their camera lights, taking several pictures.As soon as Megan heard the speaker saying those words! She knew it was time, and Miller should be seated at the family's table but he was nowhere to be found.She scanned the place, looking at every man in red, but Miller wasn't in sight!Sounds of claps filled the air as the elegant Christina Grant sat, and her gifts were being gifted to her one by one. Eleanor, her mother presented her, then the next person was called out. Kelly, Sebastian, Paxton, Ava, Betty, her father, and she knew she was going to be called out soon.Right now, Master Franco was giving his speech, and presenting his gift, and Megan was not having it anymore!
He would never go to the hospital! He has always hated that place with this life right from the day he lost his mother there because the doctors couldn't work effectively to keep her alive.That's why he's always in a hurry to leave whenever he wakes up there!"Okay...? So.... Do you have the 30 million dollars? With the kind of people here, it will be a disgrace if you can't... our marriage is....""Leave it to me." Miller shut her up with a kiss."Do you have it? Yes or no?" She kissed him back."What if I told you I got a loan?" Miller answered."I wouldn't allow that." She frowned."Then don't worry about it, after tonight, we are still going to stay married." He reassured her."Happy Birthday, Mrs Christina Grant!" Both Miller and Megan heard the host speaking into the mic. Different waiters were walking around, with a tray of wine glasses, and Megan stopped and took two glasses. She handed one to Miller, and took one."Let's go say hi to the celebrant! She's going to be so mad
"You mean, even the day I ease-dropped on your conversation with Elvira? Was it all a plan? You deliberately wanted me to hear all of that and be suspicious?" "Absolutely." All they said at the poolside was to trigger him, and mentioning his name would do the trick. At the moment he walked away with the waiter, Miller followed the back door, opened his car, got in and waited patiently for him.So, who's the dumbest person here? Hahaha! Lord Jonathan placed his hands over his mouth, covering it in shame and shock.He glared at Miller in disbelief, as he recalled hearing their conversation, thinking they had no clue of his presence!So, Mason was paid to lie to him, Miller set him up, and Elvira played along. He even disguised himself with a hart, mask and glasses, no knowing that he was the target! They freaking lured him to Everred like! They did it so perfectly that he was clueless all through!He thought Elvira and Miller were clueless, but it turns out it was the other way round
Lord Jonathan placed his seat belt on, grabbed his keys and was about to start his car when he suddenly felt something around his neck.He creases his eyebrows, raising his head, he looks up at the rearview mirror, only to see a masculine figure, placing a sharp knife on his neck."M... Mil... Miller?" His voice trembled at the moment he recognized that it was him."In flesh and blood." Miller said, his grip on the knife firm.Lord Jonathan swallowed, his heart racing like it was going to burst out of his chest.He breathed heavily, his mouth wide open and his sweat rolling down to the knife. He couldn't move, as fear of the knife cutting into his skin washed over him. He didn't forget that he was part of the people Miller promised to eliminate tonight."W.. wh.. what ar.. are you doing... here? Get the knife away from my neck!" He tried to get Miller to back off.He was going to tell the Grand Lord everything, and not even this knife is going to stop him."Drive." Miller ordered. He
He got in contact with Mason, Elvira's head security, and Mason told him her boss was out almost immediately when she arrived.Since Mason had to idea where she went, Lord Jonathan thought it was best to come to Lord Franco's house, since he knows that Miller is married to his daughter.He wasn't sure, but he knew Miller and Elvira were hiding something from the members! How could they pretend not to know each other? And the slap she gave him two days ago? Hahaha! Elvira is supposed to be an award winning actress! She must think he was a fool to believe that acting!Lord Jonathan wasn't certain, but he was dead ass sure that Miller and Elvira knew who the masked man was! Yesterday, she said something about the masked man resurfacing, and suddenly, he and their other lords were surprised with several horrifying blood packages, indicating death!Suddenly the car stopped, Lord Jonathan immediately stopped his car from a distance, very far from where the car Miller entered was parked.H
