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
“You must really hate Paxton to mock him this way! Who do you intend to get to give him a bigger contract? Hahaha!” “Son of a bitch! You don't even have a job, how can you get someone to give him a bigger contract? When you need it worse than he does?” The Grants turned their attention to Miller, taking turns in embarrassing him in the midst of guests next to their table.Paxton scoffed, “Coming from you? Hahaha! You can get that person to help you get a decent pair of shoes. I'm x10 better than you'd ever be… at least I made an effort, other than you who can't give her yourself a job!”After pounding on those words, Paxton continued, “After all, since he got back from the army, he hasn't gotten a job! Don't worry, I'd look for a janitor job for him.”Megan immediately said, “He's only having a slight difficulty in getting a job after he came back! My suggestion is that… could he continue his old job? Being the family's driver?” Megan suggested, causing the whole table to burst out
Sebastian had a smirk on his face as Miller emptied his glass like it was nothing. And lucky for him, two bottles of wine were next to where they were.Of course it wasn't a coincidence, Paxton had made sure nothing stops his plan of humiliating this bastards tonight.“Oh, buddy… I see your alcohol tolerance isn't as bad as a normal soldier.. haha!” “Well, not at all..” Miller replied as he watched Seb pour in more wine into his glass. “I don't wanna have much. You know my daughter is here…” Miller shook his head.But Seb didn't seem like his ears were functioning. For a second, he acted dumb to what Miller was saying.“Cheers! Common…. Drink with me… let's just call it catching some fun… a little bit of alcohol won't be that bad, would it?” The man laughed.Miller shrugs. He indeed wanted to enjoy tonight anyway. A lot has been going on in his life, he had no idea when last he went to interesting event like this. He's always trapped in a press conference filled with powerful people
Miller smiled brightly as he turned to look his lovely wife in the face. This woman has not just stood up for him this evening, she chose to learn how to use a gun without complaining or asking too many questions on why she should be doing that. And now she's sounding so concerned about his well being and doesn't want him to get drunk. He suspects she knows her cousin's are trying to get him drunk.Fuck! What more could he ask for? He won in life getting married to a sweet soul such as Megan.He moves his lips close to her ears and whispers back, “Trust my alcohol tolerance isn't as bad as you think. I'm perfectly fine and red wine can't get me falling easily. Your cousins are actually fun. It would be bad if I just refuse when they come to me to get a drink, right?” Megan took a deep breath. From afar Miller looked drunk but hearing him speak, she could tell he was fine. Or was he putting up an act?She sighed, “Okay just take it slowly and drink responsibly.” She said and sat down
“His alcohol tolerance must be high, especially since he's an ex soldier.” Ava muttered. All efforts to get the mother fucker drunk has been useless.Paxton on the other hand was trying to keep his eyes open. He was mad with anger… Miller must have done this delicately! His plan must have backfired! He was tongue tied… Miller had outsmarted him!“Good evening, Ms. Banks.”“Oh, it's so nice to see you again, Ms. Banks.”“What a coincidence. You're welcome, Ms. Banks.”Miller and Paxton raised their heads and caught sight of Tasha Banks at their table.She was at the lounge with her cousins when she heard the karaoke song and just had to come down here.“How are you, Ms. Christina?” Tasha greeted them back in a polite manner. Her cousins whispered into her ears before taking the stairs. It was obvious they didn't wanna mingle with the poor.Since Paxton was close to the table, he gritted his teeth upon setting his eyes on the bitch who caused him his precious contract, he said, “I’m su
“Is that so? Well, Mr. Scofield, it will interest you to know that the Banks family is in need of a bodyguard and since you're a retired soldier and isn't fully booked with jobs. What do you think about getting employed at the Banks family's residence?” She was simply doing what her father wanted of her.Upon hearing the offer, Eleanor's eyes widened. Working in the Banks residence meant extra millions! “My son-in-law is interested! Yes! Yes! Yes! He'd take the job! I know the pay is mind-blowing! He'd take it! I heard employees there get paid the minimum of 70 thousand.” Tasha chuckled slightly, “With Mr. Scofield it's going to be different because he'd be the one to tell us the amount he wants to be paid. It's really up to him to decide if he's willing to do the job.” Tasha had no idea who Miller was but with her observation and how much her father wants him close? She was sure he deserves every penny. He had this aura that could tell he was surely close to the supreme god of war.
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!
