“It went from smelling like vanilla to smelling like a dead animal…. Please take that out of here!” Pamela cried as the bodyguard was halfway through with opening the box.“No, bring whatever is in that box out, I wanna see it.” Lopez said, his voice filled with command.The bodyguard who lowered himself to bring it out could barely breathe. And as he turned to show his box what was in it, Pamela turned around, fighting the urge to throw up at the spot.“What the fuck is this?” Lopez's jaw dropped.“Who sent that? God! That's gross…” Pamela cried as she tried not to stare at it.“The blood is still fresh. It seems like…”“The person's ear was cut, stored and placed in the box.” Another bodyguard chimes in.Lopez looked closer at the diamond earrings on the ear that was dripping blood on his gold floor. Then he slowly recalls the person's ears he had seen similar earrings before.It was then and there that Lopez realized what was going on. ‘The masked bastard who took one of his ears,
Lopez's face fell instantly. He shifted his gaze from Miller and glared at his surroundings. He noticed how calm, quiet and empty it was looking. He had expected his guards to have trooped in since the time he pressed his emergency button on his wrist watch as it was used to locate him and trap intruders but none of them seems to be in sight. It was at this moment he realized that the man before him had truly taken down 48 guards who were meant to protect him. But what baffles him is how he managed to kill them in the space of 9 to 10 minutes. His lips trembled as he glared at the sword in the masked man's hand. Who was he and how come he possessed such great strength to take his men down? “Who are you?” Lopez asked. “Believe me you don't wanna know….” Miller replied. “Actually…. If you let things slide, I'd give you whatever you want…. You can't possibly kill me and leave the rest. We were all in it together…” Lopez explained. Of course the young man wouldn't possibly take d
“That's not enough, add the beef sauce, grilled turkey and kindly bring more wine.” Eleanor said to the waitress even though their table was already filled with different Chinese and Filipino foods. The only person who wasn't present in the family was Levi and Franco, the Grandfather of the family. But every member was present.Aliyah ate to her satisfaction and so did the rest. Miller moved his head as he was enjoying the melody from the music in the background while eating his food.Two waitresses came back after a few minutes with what Eleanor had ordered as one person couldn't bring that much food. “What's your most expensive wine here?” Eleanor asked the waitresses who were about to leave.“La Tropicana, ma.” One of them answered. “How much?” “Mum…” Megan shook her head, “We are yet to finish the ones on the table…. don't you think you're going overboard?” Eleanor acted oblivious to her presence as she continued her question.“10k bucks, ma'am.” She replied.“Kindly help wit
“I'm sorry… I didn't hear you clearly… can you… can you repeat yourself? A little louder?” Grey mocked, causing the rest of the Grant family to turn to Miller.“I said! I'm not going to clear that bill. You can do it yourself since you brought it here.” Miller said to him, much to Eleanor's surprise.“You bastard! Is this some kind of a sick prank?!”“Fucker! You've got to be kidding. Who's going to do it then?! Or are you trying to humiliate us?!”“You weren't sleeping when we were ordering different plates, plus you had as much as the rest of us, what the heck do you mean you aren't going to pay?!” Old lady Christina and the rest of the Grant family shouted at Miller, who had a calm expression.“I still won't clear the amount on that bill.” Miller said to them.“What do you mean?” Megan frowned, “Why did you bring us here then? To embarrass us?” “I'm sure that's his aim.”Miller was causing a scene and the manager wasn't having it.“It's not too late, folks. Consider yourselves ne
“And what does that mean?” Paxton asked.“It simply means you can't return them!” One of the security guards shouted.Megan shook her head, “I don't think you understand me…. I'm saying, we haven't opened the wines yet….Look..” She showed it to him, “We only opened one of them. You can still take back the remaining nine since we can't afford to pay that amount.” Megan explained to the manager and the securities. That way, the amount on their bill will reduce and they would be able to clear them and be on their way home.“Sealed or not…. You were warned, weren't you?” The manager asked them.“He's right, Megan… the waitress said we couldn't return them no matter what and we still ordered it with that knowledge.” Eleanor cried out, worry etched on her face.They were in deep shit. They were now employees in this place! Fuck! Miller is such a bastard! He brought this disgrace upon them all!“Did you say ‘we’? Mum? We? Seriously? This is all your fault!” Megan was pissed.“How is it my fa
Miller watched as she disappeared into the elevator. This sudden arrangement didn't sit well with him.The rest of the family members took their seats, while he was the only one standing. At this point, he could no longer bear to sit. Megan was starting to take too long up there and he just wanted to go bring her back.“You should be ashamed. She's the man while you're the woman in your marriage.” Old lady Christina said to Miller.“I agree. Shameless asshole!” Paxton glared at Miller in disgust.Meanwhile, Megan had waited for Grey's boss to be down with his business meeting. She was sitting outside his office when she saw different individuals walking out of the office.“You may go in, ma'am.” “It's about time.” Megan muttered as she stood and walked into the office. She had waited for about 20 minutes for what she thought wouldn't be up to 5 minutes.“We meet again, Ms. Megan Grant.” James turned his seat to face her. He stood from his seat, walked up to her and gave her a kiss on
“Let me through, it's been almost an hour and my wife is still not out! I want to see her!” Miller demanded, his voice echoing the entire building, causing everyone to stop and watch the commotion.“Listen, mister, you can't go in there! My boss might just chop your head off if he sees you!” Grey yelled back at Miller while the other securities stood in Miller's way, stopping him from going into the elevator.“Get out of my way or you won't like what I'll do to you!” Miller was calm. He didn't want to create a scene but he was left with no choice.Megan should have been out of there centuries ago. But up till now, she was still up there with a man he had no idea of.What if something has happened to her and they were all just here without a knowledge of whether she was okay or not?What could she be doing there? Plus, what could she and Grey's boss be discussing for hours? He thought she promised not to take long? He had this worried look on his face and he sure as hell wanted to see
Megan stretched her palm close to James face, “You see the ring, Mr. Rowland?” She asked, “I'm married. I could do something else. But being your mistress is out of the picture. I would never hurt my husband like that.” Megan explained as she walked over to the door and opened it.Though her family doesn't consider Miller her husband, he was still Aliyah's father. She wouldn't wanna destroy her child's life by getting in with someone else. Though Miller wasn't capable, she believes they could work something out later in the future.Sensing that Megan had rejected all his offer and was about to leave, James rushed over to her. He places both his palms on her arms, “You’d rather disgrace your family members when you know deep down in you, you could have helped with the situation?” Megan was speechless for a second. He was right. Could she really watch them get employed here rather than helping?“Think about it. You walk out of this place and change into our employees uniform and so ar
