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
Miller's jaw dropped at that instant. “Honey?” He robbed her shoulders. This was the first time she has done something this brave in front of him. He never expected her to do that..... He could give her the heavens if she asks for it.Before Miller could process it, a resounding slap landed on Megan's cheek.“Ouch!” Megan, who was fragile, moved back, her hand to her cheeks as she realized who just hit her. It was her grandmother, her mother or even her father…. It was Paxton!“Why did you slap her, Paxton?!” Eleanor scolded and so did Levi and old lady Christina.“Bitch! Do you know what it took for me to get that done for you to tore it to threads like it was your money?” He shouted.“But I gave you the money to do it! Why did you hit her!” Miller roared, much to everyone's surprise.“Huh?” “What?”“Wait.. you did what?” They all exclaimed. Megan, whose cheek was burning up, turned to look Miller in the eye, “You gave him the money to print out divorce papers?” “Omg, Megan…. You'
After hearing her family's announcement, Megan knew she was powerless against this. She was going to lose her marriage once Miller isn't able to afford the said amount before November 19 which is in a few weeks from now.Miller kissed his wife's forehead, “You don't have to worry about anything.” “Words of encouragement isn't the solution in this situation. Your last option is to sign the papers, punk! Because we all know even if you sell your body parts, it wouldn't raise the money. Hahaha!” Paxton mocked before walking past Miller like he was an ant.“I will never divorce my wife!” Miller said, his voice cold.Hahaha!“We'll see about that.” Levi said and they all walked away, while Miller and Megan walked into their apartment, which was a smaller building at the back of the compound.-Miller stood behind Megan, and held her two palms as he taught her how to aim the target not too far from her. “Look straight…. You have to focus. Place your index finger on the trigger.”“Like this
“I just thought of having a conversation with my daughter, that's all.” Eleanor added, “You and Miller have been going out for the past two days? Is there something you're not telling from your mother?”“Is there something my mother wants to know?” Megan glared suspiciously at her. Miller had warned never to tell anyone that he wanted her to master how to use a gun. Though he wasn't specific about his reasons, she believes it will come in handy in the future.“Oh, not at all… Does he have a job or something?” Megan sighed, “No.”“You see? Megan, this marriage has no direction, no hope and future. Years ago I warned you to get rid of that child, but you refused!” Eleanor shook her head in self-pity, “Are you that blind to see things from my own point of view? Or…” Eleanor paused at the sudden realization.“What?” Megan stopped to look at her mum.“Are you dickmatized? Tell me it is because of…”“Oh, common mum.” Megan stopped her mum from proceeding, “I believe Miller and I can work t
Miller has been out the whole day, and when he arrived home, Aliyah was first to run over to him. “Daddy!” Her tiny voice called out his name. “Oh, my…” Miller carried her in his arms and handed her the candy he promised her.As he raised his head up, he realized the place was filled with different cars. He couldn't help but notice that the environment looked crowded. More like there was something going on inside his in-laws apartment.With a confused expression, he turned to approach his apartment when he heard Megan's voice.“That door is locked. Come here instead.” She said to him.“What's going on?” Miller asked her.Why did she lock their apartment door and stay in her family's place? Were they celebrating something? He had a lot of questions to ask her but he simply turned and walked into his in-laws house.At the moment Miller entered the living room, he caught sight of Master Franco, Levi and several elderly people. Megan's grandfather, Old master Franco gulped a glass of wi
“Andy? Do you know my daddy?” Aliyah asks.Andy's silence was noticeable. He refused to speak or even open his mouth. His eyes were fixed on Miller like a leech on Human's skin. “Miller, do you know him?” Megan asked. Plus his sudden unresponsiveness was starting to seem weird.Miller shook his head honestly. He didn't know the kid but as crazy as it seems, from the looks on the boy's face, he could tell the boy recognizes or knows who he was. His silence to Aliyah's questions says it all. Because he was just responding to Megan earlier. And all of a sudden, the ‘Do you know Aliyah's dad’ questions made him lose his tongue?Something was getting out of hand and Miller was sure this was going to end extremely badly. “Your ride is here, Andy.” Levi said and took the boy's hand.“Where are you taking him to, Dad?” Megan asked.“Why do you care? To get his eyes fixed of course…. The sketch is incomplete. We need to know what this bastard's hair looks like.” Levi said and turned to leave
The van arrived at the popular Dulux resort and the Grant family walked out of it.“Paxton, what is it that you can't just tell us right away? I'm getting really anxious.” Eleanor giggled as they walked into the place and settled in.“Yes, just tell us already. We really wanna hear about the big announcement.” Levi added.“Common people… let's go outside. Our table has been set. I will make the announcement there. Let's go…. The table is filled with different Continental dishes.” Paxton announced.No member of the family was left out. Not even Master Franco. They were all present and they all changed and walked out to see the long table by the poolside. It was indeed filled with hot and juicy looking food.“That's a lot, Grandson.”“Yes! This is huge! I can't wait to dive in.”“Whatever your announcement is, I already know it's huge! Look at that food.” Ava and the rest laugh.“True.” Megan adds and they all took their seats before grabbing their cutleries.When Paxton revealed to the
After the family took turns in congratulating Paxton, Master Franco had a proud expression, “This indeed is worth more than celebrating here! Signing such a huge business deal with such an amount is incredible!” He smiled proudly.“Of course. Our Paxton has made us proud. He's taking the family's name to the next level!” Levi nodded like a proud Father that he is.“Oh, my goodness! I still can't control my happiness!!! Son, you've made me so proud…. Unlike someone we all know.” Eleanor giggled, her tone filled with mockery as she stole a glance from Megan's side of the table.Miller noticed and decided to ignore her condescending remarks but Megan wasn't like him. Though she had forcefully hugged, smiled and congratulated her brother just like everyone else, she was starting to get fed up with her mother's insults.“Well, we are not sure which brand or family he made the deal with yet.” Megan said with a slight fake smile. She felt that this was quite unexpected, especially since in h
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!
