Lincoln raised his hands and placed it on his right ear. He brought his hands down to see that indeed, the bullet scratched him.“You son of a bitch!” Lincoln cursed under his breath. His heart was pounding and for a second, he thought today was his last.He didn't expect this man to be so smooth in shooting, what was he? A god? The man shot at him but he aimed to scare him and Lincoln had to admit, he was terrified. One would have thought the bullet was going into his skin with how fast the man pulled his trigger. But the bullet was aimed at the wall, so it passed his ear and landed on the wall.He was good, Lincoln had to admit.“Hey! Hey! Hey! I'm going to blow your skulls out if you leave me out here!” Lincoln turned to Harry who was slowly trying to escape through the window.“Hahaha! Don't stop him!” The masked man said to Lincoln… more like he had seen Harry trying to leave but just allowed him.“I wasn't talking to you! Get the hell out of my office, this minute! I Don't like
Then his face came into view.“My name is Miller Dubios Scofield. You don't have to introduce yourself, I know who you are, Mr. Wilson.” Miller stretched his hands out for a shake.Lincoln was breathing heavily and he wasn't sure if he was safe shaking hands with such a person but he dares not shake him back if he loves his life. He wouldn't wanna end up like old Harry, would he?“Sure, Mr. Scofield…” Lincoln shook his hands back.“Have your seat, I wanna have a conversation with you!” Miller gestured for him to sit while he sat on the Lincoln chair, facing him.Lincoln swallowed hard. Miller was sitting on his seat, while he was left to sit in front of him like he was a client.But he didn't dare object.“Like I said earlier, I know who you are and I know of the position you hold here in Fox River and the whole world. And since you've gotten Harry to sign 50 percent of his fortune to you, you're even more mighty than the average man…. Plus, you're now the famous Mafia Lord in the cit
The entire family seems to be in mourning attire and Megan was in tears as well as her mother.Miller didn't dress like them but he walked over to Megan to console and ask what was going on.“Miller, I'm so scared, I can't hide it anymore.” Megan cried as she announced the death of the third member of her father's club.“Shit, that's crazy…” Miller sympathizes with the family.But trust Eleanor to be overly dramatic. She kept on crying non-stop and her voice was the loudest in the living room.“This is getting outrageously dangerous. Is Old Master Franco safe out there?” Eleanor asked Levi.“He has to be there when the body arrives. Plus he's with other members so they are all safe.”“But Uncle, don't you think this masked man is going from house to house to kill these men?” Ava asked, her voice trembling in fear.“We are still on the lookout for that monster.” Levi said, turning to look at little Andy before taking a deep breath.Miller noticed the little kid was there with them as w
At the moment Miller opened the door, his eyes and the man in front of him glued at each other in shock.As Miller couldn't believe his eyes, so as the man couldn't believe his eyes. Miller's hands formed a fist… what the hell was he doing at his door?“Good afternoon, General… I… uh…”“It's Miller…. I told you earlier, or you suddenly have amnesia?” Miller tilted his head with a frown.Lincoln swallowed hard, bowing his head. He didn't realize that the Lord General would be visiting the new CEO of Grant imports as well.Actually, he was here to see her and when he arrived, a man named Sebastian told him he would find her at his small apartment… which was why he was standing at the place.“Honey? Who's it? Is it mum?” Miller heard Megan's voice from the kitchen. It seems she was trying to see who it was but Miller was obstructing her view. “I simply came to do my job, Boss.” Lincoln bowed to him as Miller glared at him and he could sense something. The General didn't seem pleased b
It was 8 in the morning, and Megan was all dressed and ready to leave for work when she heard her mother's voice.“All hail the breadwinner of her home! Haha!” Eleanor hissed and shifted her gaze to Miller who was slowly walking out the gate with Aliyah.It's past the time her school bus arrives, and sensing they wouldn't be coming today, Miller decided to take her to school, while Megan lives for the factory.“The wife is now the husband! While the husband is now the wife! What a comic disaster!” She mocked until Miller wasn't in sight as he had gone but Megan was still glaring at her mother.“My husband is not the wife in my marriage, mum. Stop this.” Megan said to her.“Shut the hell up! Where are you off to? That dead business your grandpa left you? At least you're waking up and going to work everyday… Can you say the same for that bastard you said I shouldn't address as your wife?” Eleanor shouted, “Wake up! Megan! I didn't give birth to you for you to suffer this much!”“And who
Within a few seconds, Lincoln heard a knock on his door, “Sir, there's a man here to see you.”“Let him in.” He replied then the doors went open and a middle-aged man walked into his office with a frown.“Well, well, well… if it's not the notorious criminal…” Levi barked upon setting eyes on Lincoln.Lincoln scoffed, “You better watch your tongue, old man… Or I might as well get people to do that for you.” He frowned.“You mother fucker! I know you have something to do with Harry's death! You're working with the masked man, right?” “And who the hell are you? Get the fuck out of my office or you will regret!” Lincoln pointed at him with a raging voice.“What business do you have with my daughter? Just so you know, my daughter is married! She's not interested in your fantasy! If that's the reason you chose to invest in her business!” Lincoln furrowed his brows. Oh, this happens to be Megan's father? “Oh, don't flatter yourself! I'm not interested in married women…”“But you're intere
Woah!The people outside heard it and they couldn't be more shocked.“No way!! His mother was a hoe?”“Shit! That's not nice, aunty, do it again, hahaha!”“Having a hoe mother isn't surprising! Look at how miserable he looks! Hahaha!”“Hahaha…. Hahaha!” They all laughed.“With all due respect… Please, I beg you, don't get my mother involved in this. She's late, allow her spirit to rest.” Miller was trying to control his temper.He chose to keep quiet because she was Megan's mother. If it was someone else, such a person would be buried six feet by now.“Pauper!” Before Miller could process what was happening, a heavy slap landed on his face. “Get the hell out of my daughter's life, you hear me! At least give Mr. Wilson the pleasure of courting her and being her suitor! Your presence could be the thing restricting him!” Eleanor roared out in anger before turning to leave, leaving the door wide open.Miller stared at Eleanor, dumbfounded, his cheeks red from the slap.He didn't know whic
Eleanor lets out a mocking laugh after hearing that her good-for-nothing son-in-law was going on a trip that would last for a few days.“What kind of job is that, if I may ask? Why now all of a sudden. You know I just got that investment and I would be needing you around.” Megan frowns, looking up at Miller.She didn't like this idea of him leaving for five weeks. Plus, it's barely four months since he got back from the army.“Oh, please Megan…. Are you trying to stop him?” Ava hissed. If the bastard wanted to go, let him be on his way already! Seeing him everyday was becoming a burden!“I'd advise you go and never come back, Miller! Remain there! Since you're of no use to this family!” Paxton had a disgusted look at Miller.“Oh, if he's going on a business trip, isn't it a good thing? Grandma's birthday is around the corner, he would be needing the money to buy your marriage… Why don't you allow him?” Levi added as it seems his daughter wasn't in support of Miller's trip.“I'd be bac
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!
