“Dad, I'm so sorry but you have to relax.” Megan had a worried look as her father kept walking back and forth in the living room while they all stared at him.One could tell he desperately wants to squeeze life out of the mastermind of this case.“Let me be, Megan…. I need to think. These people were killed behind our backs! I won't stop until that motherfucker is dead.” Levi replied, rubbing his chin with a frown on his face. He should have taken this seriously. He should have listened when Lord Theodore explained everything last night about that masked man.He didn't realize this masked guy story was real until he saw the news and members of the club confirmed it. It was true… his good friend who they had dinner with last night was really gone.He was killed by a motherfucker! Argh! He just wanted to set eyes on that bastard and take his life this instant!“Only a monster will do this to an entire family. Wtf! This is so brutal.”“You read my mind, Paxton. To think he was alive and
They were six leaders, and the Grand Lord made it sum up to seven. Since he was almost never around, they were six for now, at least not until the death of Lord Theodore. Right now, there are just five. “Situations like this aren't to be kept away from the Grand lord. He needs to be aware that we've lost a leader.” Lord Levi said to the rest of the members. “We could handle this ourselves. Remember, the Grand Lord says until the situation is critical, don't disturb his operation.” Lord Hunter shrugs. “And you all think ‘Death’ isn't that critical to inform the master?” Levi spat. “Why? Don't tell us you're scared.” Lord Jonathan tilted his head at Levi who had a worried expression. “I don't care what you think! The night before he died, he was at my place! He told me about this man wearing a mask and storming into the club to take his left ear!” Levi explained to them. “Oh, please…. We all know how much of a pussy that old fool was. He only seems brave on the outside. He's
Miller was on his laptop when he heard his phone ringing. He was busy with a research on his laptop and he might have just found a clue about something.He stood from his chair, picked up the phone and walked out to pick the call as Megan was in the kitchen.“Good evening, boss.” Daniel, his male assistant, had a tone filled with respect.“Daniel? What do you have for me?” Miller asked, placing his hands in his pocket.“It's about the location I sent to your email. Listen boss, I know you…”“Exactly… I won't listen to you. Mind your business, okay?” Miller was quick to say as he knew where his employee was driving.“I apologize boss, but this is extremely critical and Lopez White isn't an ordinary man.” Daniel explains.“So am i.” Miller shrugs.“My men are prepared to carry out the job. Just leave it to us. Or at least, let's go there with you, to at least protect you from his dangerous and bloodthirsty looking bodyguards.” Daniel said truthfully. He knows Lopez to be one of the mos
“It went from smelling like vanilla to smelling like a dead animal…. Please take that out of here!” Pamela cried as the bodyguard was halfway through with opening the box.“No, bring whatever is in that box out, I wanna see it.” Lopez said, his voice filled with command.The bodyguard who lowered himself to bring it out could barely breathe. And as he turned to show his box what was in it, Pamela turned around, fighting the urge to throw up at the spot.“What the fuck is this?” Lopez's jaw dropped.“Who sent that? God! That's gross…” Pamela cried as she tried not to stare at it.“The blood is still fresh. It seems like…”“The person's ear was cut, stored and placed in the box.” Another bodyguard chimes in.Lopez looked closer at the diamond earrings on the ear that was dripping blood on his gold floor. Then he slowly recalls the person's ears he had seen similar earrings before.It was then and there that Lopez realized what was going on. ‘The masked bastard who took one of his ears,
Lopez's face fell instantly. He shifted his gaze from Miller and glared at his surroundings. He noticed how calm, quiet and empty it was looking. He had expected his guards to have trooped in since the time he pressed his emergency button on his wrist watch as it was used to locate him and trap intruders but none of them seems to be in sight. It was at this moment he realized that the man before him had truly taken down 48 guards who were meant to protect him. But what baffles him is how he managed to kill them in the space of 9 to 10 minutes. His lips trembled as he glared at the sword in the masked man's hand. Who was he and how come he possessed such great strength to take his men down? “Who are you?” Lopez asked. “Believe me you don't wanna know….” Miller replied. “Actually…. If you let things slide, I'd give you whatever you want…. You can't possibly kill me and leave the rest. We were all in it together…” Lopez explained. Of course the young man wouldn't possibly take d
“That's not enough, add the beef sauce, grilled turkey and kindly bring more wine.” Eleanor said to the waitress even though their table was already filled with different Chinese and Filipino foods. The only person who wasn't present in the family was Levi and Franco, the Grandfather of the family. But every member was present.Aliyah ate to her satisfaction and so did the rest. Miller moved his head as he was enjoying the melody from the music in the background while eating his food.Two waitresses came back after a few minutes with what Eleanor had ordered as one person couldn't bring that much food. “What's your most expensive wine here?” Eleanor asked the waitresses who were about to leave.“La Tropicana, ma.” One of them answered. “How much?” “Mum…” Megan shook her head, “We are yet to finish the ones on the table…. don't you think you're going overboard?” Eleanor acted oblivious to her presence as she continued her question.“10k bucks, ma'am.” She replied.“Kindly help wit
“I'm sorry… I didn't hear you clearly… can you… can you repeat yourself? A little louder?” Grey mocked, causing the rest of the Grant family to turn to Miller.“I said! I'm not going to clear that bill. You can do it yourself since you brought it here.” Miller said to him, much to Eleanor's surprise.“You bastard! Is this some kind of a sick prank?!”“Fucker! You've got to be kidding. Who's going to do it then?! Or are you trying to humiliate us?!”“You weren't sleeping when we were ordering different plates, plus you had as much as the rest of us, what the heck do you mean you aren't going to pay?!” Old lady Christina and the rest of the Grant family shouted at Miller, who had a calm expression.“I still won't clear the amount on that bill.” Miller said to them.“What do you mean?” Megan frowned, “Why did you bring us here then? To embarrass us?” “I'm sure that's his aim.”Miller was causing a scene and the manager wasn't having it.“It's not too late, folks. Consider yourselves ne
“And what does that mean?” Paxton asked.“It simply means you can't return them!” One of the security guards shouted.Megan shook her head, “I don't think you understand me…. I'm saying, we haven't opened the wines yet….Look..” She showed it to him, “We only opened one of them. You can still take back the remaining nine since we can't afford to pay that amount.” Megan explained to the manager and the securities. That way, the amount on their bill will reduce and they would be able to clear them and be on their way home.“Sealed or not…. You were warned, weren't you?” The manager asked them.“He's right, Megan… the waitress said we couldn't return them no matter what and we still ordered it with that knowledge.” Eleanor cried out, worry etched on her face.They were in deep shit. They were now employees in this place! Fuck! Miller is such a bastard! He brought this disgrace upon them all!“Did you say ‘we’? Mum? We? Seriously? This is all your fault!” Megan was pissed.“How is it my fa
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!
He would never go to the hospital! He has always hated that place with this life right from the day he lost his mother there because the doctors couldn't work effectively to keep her alive.That's why he's always in a hurry to leave whenever he wakes up there!"Okay...? So.... Do you have the 30 million dollars? With the kind of people here, it will be a disgrace if you can't... our marriage is....""Leave it to me." Miller shut her up with a kiss."Do you have it? Yes or no?" She kissed him back."What if I told you I got a loan?" Miller answered."I wouldn't allow that." She frowned."Then don't worry about it, after tonight, we are still going to stay married." He reassured her."Happy Birthday, Mrs Christina Grant!" Both Miller and Megan heard the host speaking into the mic. Different waiters were walking around, with a tray of wine glasses, and Megan stopped and took two glasses. She handed one to Miller, and took one."Let's go say hi to the celebrant! She's going to be so mad
"You mean, even the day I ease-dropped on your conversation with Elvira? Was it all a plan? You deliberately wanted me to hear all of that and be suspicious?" "Absolutely." All they said at the poolside was to trigger him, and mentioning his name would do the trick. At the moment he walked away with the waiter, Miller followed the back door, opened his car, got in and waited patiently for him.So, who's the dumbest person here? Hahaha! Lord Jonathan placed his hands over his mouth, covering it in shame and shock.He glared at Miller in disbelief, as he recalled hearing their conversation, thinking they had no clue of his presence!So, Mason was paid to lie to him, Miller set him up, and Elvira played along. He even disguised himself with a hart, mask and glasses, no knowing that he was the target! They freaking lured him to Everred like! They did it so perfectly that he was clueless all through!He thought Elvira and Miller were clueless, but it turns out it was the other way round
Lord Jonathan placed his seat belt on, grabbed his keys and was about to start his car when he suddenly felt something around his neck.He creases his eyebrows, raising his head, he looks up at the rearview mirror, only to see a masculine figure, placing a sharp knife on his neck."M... Mil... Miller?" His voice trembled at the moment he recognized that it was him."In flesh and blood." Miller said, his grip on the knife firm.Lord Jonathan swallowed, his heart racing like it was going to burst out of his chest.He breathed heavily, his mouth wide open and his sweat rolling down to the knife. He couldn't move, as fear of the knife cutting into his skin washed over him. He didn't forget that he was part of the people Miller promised to eliminate tonight."W.. wh.. what ar.. are you doing... here? Get the knife away from my neck!" He tried to get Miller to back off.He was going to tell the Grand Lord everything, and not even this knife is going to stop him."Drive." Miller ordered. He
He got in contact with Mason, Elvira's head security, and Mason told him her boss was out almost immediately when she arrived.Since Mason had to idea where she went, Lord Jonathan thought it was best to come to Lord Franco's house, since he knows that Miller is married to his daughter.He wasn't sure, but he knew Miller and Elvira were hiding something from the members! How could they pretend not to know each other? And the slap she gave him two days ago? Hahaha! Elvira is supposed to be an award winning actress! She must think he was a fool to believe that acting!Lord Jonathan wasn't certain, but he was dead ass sure that Miller and Elvira knew who the masked man was! Yesterday, she said something about the masked man resurfacing, and suddenly, he and their other lords were surprised with several horrifying blood packages, indicating death!Suddenly the car stopped, Lord Jonathan immediately stopped his car from a distance, very far from where the car Miller entered was parked.H
