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
“You're welcome, General…This way, please.” Daniel and about 20 other men bowed before Miller as he arrived in his Black Ferrari.“Everything has been set and awaiting your presence, General. Plus, the god of war in the 6th province called.” Daniel explains as Miller walks close to his private jet that has been waiting for him.“And?” Miller asked for more as he approached the jet with about 18 to 20 bodyguards behind him.A lot of individuals stopped to take pictures, and admired him as he walked like a Greek god.“God, I could kill to be on his bed!”“He's smoking hot. Who is he?”“No idea, but with such convoys of cars? And that jet? One could tell that he's no ordinary man. He oozes of power and extraordinary greatness.” A few passerbys whispered as they watched Miller walk with his bodyguards behind him.“....General Scott also said to give you this. Plus your ride to take you to your house is already in France airport.” Daniel explained but Miller simply nodded.“Good. Megan a
During dinner, Megan's head was lowered down to her plate as Old lady Christina and some other family members talked and laughed with their guest.Aliyah was sound asleep and she just wanted to finish eating, so she could head back to their apartment.“Raymond, this is my granddaughter, Megan… Megan… this is Mr. Hanson.” Christina introduced the both of them.“Nice to meet you, Ms. Megan.” “The pleasure is mine,” Megan shook hands with him as they were sitting next to each other.“I have heard so much about you, but what I can attest to is how breathtaking you look. You're really beautiful.” He compliments her as his eyes never left her face.“Thank you, Mr. Hanson.”He glared at her fingers and realized there had no ring.“I see you're as single as I am?” He smiled warmly.Megan raised her head and glared at the people on the table before shaking her head, “Uh… I'm…”“Megan… Mr. Hanson here has a surprise for you.” Eleanor interrupted Megan immediately, not giving her the chance to
Megan threw her phone to the bed after giving Miller several calls and his phone didn't seem to be available.She badly wants to tell him about the gift Mr. Ray got her, plus he had been calling her as well but she wasn't available to pick up. Since he left, they haven't gotten the opportunity to talk to each other and she was starting to get worried.Just then, she hears a knock on the door.“Could Miller be back?” She hurries to the door and opens it.“Good day, Ms. Scofield.”“Ms… Rebecca? Good day… uh, you're my husband's boss? I thought he went on a business trip with you?” Megan recalled Miller had introduced this lady as his boss a few months ago.“Uh… yeah..” Nora thought of what to say.“I'm back… being his boss I had just two days to be there.”Megan nodded, “Oh, I understand. Come in?” She offered and Nora walked inside.“Mr. Miller said to give you this.. Plus, to make sure you didn't lack anything.” Megan thought that was weird but didn't ask, “Thank you, but you didn't
“Anything for the woman after my heart…. Unbox them… go on.” Raymond gestured.“Oh! Chanel? Louis Vuitton? Oh, my… Thank you so much.” Megan unboxed her gifts.“That's for a job well done. Let's have fun!” Raymond popped the wine and poured it into two wine glasses. He turns to her and offers her the one on his right hand but Megan objects.“I can't afford to drink tonight, the party started a while ago and I can't afford to get drunk.”“There's no harm in having a few glasses to celebrate right?” Raymond winked.“No… why drink here when we could at the party?”“Don't be such a killjoy… I just wanna spend a little time here with you before you go back.” Megan sighed, “In case you aren't aware, I'm married. And I have a daughter.” She reveals to him. She didn't wanna give him the wrong impression.“I know, okay? One of your family members told me… plus, who doesn't know you're married to Miller Scofield?” Raymond didn't seem affected.“Oh, you know?” Megan smiled.“I do… Now, will yo
In less than 10 minutes after they left, Miller opened the door and rushed over to Megan's bed.“Miller… you're back?” She hugs him back after he wraps his hands around her, hugging her tight like he couldn't get enough of hugging her.“When did you arrive?”“Just now, I told the driver would take me here directly.” Miller explained to her, “What happened? Why? How come…”“Oh! I see the wife is back home to her husband!” Miller and Megan turned to see Eleanor, Levi and old lady Christina walk into the ward.“It took you almost the whole week. Why are you back into our lives, you bastard? Why didn't you remain there?!” Levi shouted.“Dad? You can see he just arrived. Give him a break.”“Shut up, Megan! Where was he when you were brought in here last night? Isn't it his duty to protect his wife? He failed as a provider in the marriage, he failed at a man now he just failed as a protective husband!” Eleanor shouted, causing Miller to frown.She was right. It was his duty to protect her
Miller couldn't hide his anger upon setting eyes on Raymond. The man must have a lot of gut showing his face here after all all he had done to his wife?First he gave her a car, trying to charm his way into her heart, tried to have his way with her, and he was here, ruining the good moment he was about to have with his wife….This bastard should give him one reason why he shouldn't be beaten up!Raymond stretched his hands out for a shake, “I assume you don't know who I am… I am Mr. Hanson, a pilot and multi billionaire tycoon.”Miller looked down at his hand, then back to his face, “I don't give a shit about who you are.” Not willing to take that dirty hand from him. Ray should count himself lucky that he made Megan a promise not to do anything to him. If not, he'd be buried six feet under the ground by now.“Oh, it's you…. Mr. Hanson…” Megan immediately shook his hands since Miller had left it hanging.Megan smiled and greeted him, “Good day, what brings you here?” Miller frowned a
Miller scoffed. “I'd be out late, don't wait out for me.” He kissed Megan's forehead before heading out of the house.“Where are you going?” Before Megan could ask, Miller had shut the door and was already out.‘Good riddance.’ Mr. Hanson thought to himself before turning to face Megan with a bright smile, “So… Ms. Megan… I was waiting to finally have an alone time with you…” He said to Megan who didn't seem interested.Her eyes were glued at the door, wondering why Miller left just all of a sudden. ~Later that night, Raymond drives into his apartment and heads straight into his room. It's a good time he didn't object to the dinner the Grants served, plus that bastard wasn't present, so he had a great time having all Megan's attention without her husband's interference.He checked his watch and noticed it was 1; 10. Shit, it was past his bedtime. His maid brought him a glass of milk, then he shut his door, gulped the drink, took his bathe and crashed into his bed.A few minutes into
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!
