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
Paxton's eyes widened in belief. At first he couldn't believe his eyes. What the heck happened?“Young master Rowland… What's going on? Why did you do that? We had an agreement, didn't we?” Paxton was stunned at the turn of events. He had a sudden migraine and his heart ached as he looked down at the torn pieces of documents on the floor. His family was literally down at the pool side waiting for him to come back and celebrate with them!This can't be!“You must think I'm a fool to sign that shit!” James yelled in anger. “Not only was my restaurant almost damaged, Megan sent me a text that she'd never meet up with me in the penthouse tonight as Ms. Banks had cleared the bills and not me!” Ms. Banks bodyguard's ruined almost everything in the restaurant. It was completely damaged beyond recognition!“No…. That's impossible… her bodyguard's only had the security officers beaten up…. It must be Miller… I'm sure it was that son of a bitch! But your men were capable of teaching him a les
