“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
“Oh, you don't have to do that… I can handle it.” Miller stopped Tasha from giving her card to the waitress who was about to collect it.“It's fine. I just want to help. It's no big deal. Just let me do it.” Tasha said to Miller.Miller shook his head, “No. By the time my wife is back, it's going to be settled. I'd pay.”“Shut the hell up, Miller!” Eleanor shouted.“Leave him, mum… haha!” Paxton laughed, “Let him disgrace us for the second time. He enjoys it. Bro thinks he's 3 million dollars rich.” “It's enough, Paxton. I'll clear the bills.” Miller said to him.“And where are you going to get it from? You intend to steal it?” Christina asked.“I'd find a way, Grandma.” Miller said but Tasha simply chuckled before handing her card to the waitress.“I guess it's all against you, Mr. Miller…” Tasha smiled seductively as she got her card back then the waitress returned back to her post. Tasha turned before instructing her bodyguards to take Grey and the security officers out which they
Megan swallowed hard. “Uh, I thought… I thought…” She paused and turned to Tasha.“It was you? Oh, thank you so much…” “It's no big deal.” Tasha waved it off.Megan bit her lower lips, putting a smile on, trying to act like everything was cool. She had a lot of questions in her mind. Like where was Grey? She thought James had him clear the bills?While Megan and Tasha discussed, Miller smiled. James being here wasn't coincidental. He didn't know if he wanted to help or he had helped but Megan's rushing to leave earlier was suddenly gone. She wasn't leaving anymore and she was now laughing with the daughter of Mr. Banks.“....I know right… haha.” Megan laughed at Paxton's joke as they walked out of the building.“Here is my card.” Tasha stretched her hands out, “You can call me anytime.” Megan reached for it with a smile, “Thank you, Ms. Banks. And I appreciate your generosity.” Natasha nodded, got into her car while the Grants did the same. Though the situation lasted for 4 hours,
The Grant family was sitting by the pool side when Miller and his wife drove into the compound. Miller had Megan registered somewhere he wanted just both of them to be aware of.By the time they both got out of Miller's obviously bad looking car, Ava, Megan's cousin's, Paxton and two others started murmuring, their faces etched with irritation at the sight of Miller.“I'm sure the car stopped a billion times before they got here. Hahaha!”“Is that a car? Or an ancient wheelbarrow? Hahaha!”“Hahaha!” Ava and the rest mocked while Levi read his newspapers with a displeased look. And old lady Christina drank her cocktail.Miller greeted, “Good day, Granny… Mother…. Dad…”“Good afternoon y'all.” Megan did the same and they were about to go pick what they came back home for when Old lady Christina's words caused them to stop.“Aren't you two going to join us?”Megan looked at Miller then turned to her, “Not at all, Grandma… Uh… we have to be somewhere…”“Where?” Eleanor, Old lady Christin
Fuck! How was he going to explain this whole thing to his boss?He was in big shit!"I... I had her... but.. but... she was taken away from me... shit! I'm dead! Who are these people and how do I tell my boss all this!" Sucre cried out.But he never stopped. He was driving all round the highway. He divided the group and instructed them what to do so they could find the bastards who took her.This continued until the dead of night, and there was still no trace of her.And he had already informed his boss the plan was successful! "Boss, I think it's best we let the General know. We've been in search of her for five hours now, and she's nowhere to be found." A teammate advised. Plus, it was getting pretty late. "The General is going to take our lives! He doesn't joke with his wife! We have to look for her! We can't stop!" Sucre instructed, even though it was now 10 pm in the night. ~The Grant family were all gathered in the living room, trying all they could to reach Megan but her ph
"Who are you people and what do you want from my boss' daughter?" Fernando tried to go over to the car where Megan was placed."One more step and I promise you, I will blow your brains out! I'm not playing with you!" Sucre thundered. "Count yourself lucky I didn't choose to kill you! If you as much as try to follow us, or even do anything contradicting, I swear on my mother's grave, Fernando Acosta! I'll painfully and dangerously take that breath that's keeping you alive." Sucre warned. Fernando was caught off guard. He took several steps back, not daring to look the man in the eye. He freaking knows who it was! He addressed him by his full government name! He swallowed hard as he glared at the multiple guns being pointed at him. Though they were all masked, their aura did something to his insides. Swiftly, the car doors were being shut one after the other. All of them got into their cars without saying a word to him.Within seconds, all cars zoomed off right before Fernando and th
"Megan? Argh! What does she want? Doesn't she know you're working?!" Master Franco hissed, "Give it to me!" He demanded and Miller handed the phone to him."Megan? Your husband is busy! His job is not a child's play, you can't be calling him in the middle of a work day!" He tone was cold."I'm sorry, Grandpa.... You see, I have a flat tire, so there's no way I can drive my car out of here...." She explained everything to him."Book a cab! Don't call Miller like you're the one who pays him." "But he's my husband.""And he's my employee." Master Franco wasn't having it. Miller had a lot to do here, and he isn't going to allow him to leave!"Understand me, Grandpa. There's no Internet connection to order a ride." Megan pleaded. The cost of booking a cab caused a fortune, plus they usually don't come to places like this, and there was always a high risk of getting into the wrong hands."You don't want me to get into the wrong hands, would you?" Master Franco hesitated a bit.And sensing
Miller leaned into his seat, his head resting on the couch as Elvira spoke.She was in his lounge, so he was comfortable in relaxing his body. Plus, he was glad that his usual symptoms were no longer disturbing him for days now."They still treat you the same way?" Miller nodded, "I don't think my in-laws would ever see me differently even if they found out that I am the supreme General.""What? 30 million is a lot of money! Are the Grants that selfish?" Elvira scoffed. Well, Master Franco is a greedy old man, he shouldn't expect less from the rest of the family."Uh... I heard the mighty men are on the hunt for the masked man." Miller changed the topic on why he asked for this meeting."They know it's the masked man, plus they have been asking me suspicious questions, especially Lord Hunter. Do you think he knows something?" Elvira asked.Miller fell in deep thoughts for a few seconds before nodding his head, "Before Lord Jonathan died, he said something about the whole members know
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
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
"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!
