The Midnight Heir THE MIDNIGHT HEIR
"You're the—" Franklin was cut short by Anthony "You're not seriously going to talk to me while you’re like that, groveling like a lost puppy, are you? It's overkill, so just stop!" he frowned. "Huh?" Franklin raised his head in surprise but seeing that Anthony was being serious, he nodded. He said, "As you wish, young master" standing up and so did Anthony. Franklin dusted his knees, carrying on "As I was saying, you Young Master are the long lost, thought to be deceased, real heir to the Midnight family fortune and I'm here to take you back home so that you can reclaim what rightfully belongs to you" Anthony tilted his head to the left, slowly "Midnight? Who and what's that supposed to be and how am I the rightful heir as you say?" He grimaced skeptically. "MIDNIGHT, that's the real name of your family lineage, young master. I know you’re confused but the truth is that you aren't a STAR— No, pardon my blunder because what I just said could have come off wrong and easily misund
The Midnight Heir A MASTER’S GIFT
("Franklin, I know this isn't much to make up for the heartaches I've caused, but if you'll accept it, let this gift grant you freedom") The unexpected question from Anthony forced a memory to pop into Franklin's head. This was a memory that from the looks on his face, he didn't understand the significance of it either. 'Why am I remembering this now?' He questioned himself before taking in a very deep breath with closed eyes and releasing it in a calm sigh. "Young Master, the truth is I have no idea why you can't read my thoughts either. The best I can do is remember a moment in my past, during my former master’s last moments, he bestowed on me a gift, with words hoping that I obtain freedom. Though I didn't understand what he meant by that at the time, my guess is that's the reason you can't access my mind. I've been freed from another's control" Anthony watched him, thinking to himself 'if what he says is true then does that mean I too can manipulate others’ minds beyond just r
The Midnight Heir APOLOGIZE
Instantly, Anthony's body wanted to start vibrating as the anger he was feeling from seeing Samuel hurt had skyrocketed out of control. But, just as quickly he contained it with a deep breath and a sigh 'I guess it was a result of how hard Franklin must have grabbed his wrist when he tried to save him from being hit. A sprained wrist is a much better alternative to what could have happened if he wasn't there. Looking back now I guess I was kinda being hard on him for no reason’ Anthony thought in both acceptance and guilt. Meanwhile, an angered Mr's Faller who wasn't there when the incident happened and so didn't know what Anthony does, dragged Samuel along to where Franklin was standing to confront him. Anthony followed behind her, wanting to smooth things over as he was the only person who knew both parties and was there when the accident happened, so he felt like he knew enough to try and defend Franklin. "You should try and get calm Mr's Faller, I don't think you should be angr
The Midnight Heir FRIGHTENING EYES
"Huh?!" Samuel exclaimed and so did his mother. She said "That's going too far Anthony! How can you tell him to do that in front of Samuel. This has to stop, right now!" her anger had switched targets. Anthony who was being reproached didn't look bothered by her contention with what he had said. He looked at her through the corner of his eyes and responded "This is what has to happen Mr's Faller so don't try to interrupt it" 'His eyes, why does he look so different from before? He's frightening me. Just who did Maxwell bring home into our family as a friend?' Mr's Faller thought, genuinely terrified by what was going on. Everything sounded absurd but what she never expected to happen in a million years was to see Franklin going down to the ground to grovel at Samuel’s feet. "Huh? What are you doing?" She turned to question Franklin with a look of disgust on her face. "As the friends of my Young Master, it is my greatest mistake to have hurt you and not immediately repent and apo
The Midnight Heir MOVIE TICKETS
"I want to buy two tickets please!" was the set of words that came flying the moment this person walked up to the ticket counter, right by the entrance of The Nostalgia cinema. "Okay, what movie will you be seeing and would you like to get a bag of popcorn and a drink with that?" Anthony asked, standing at the other side of the counter where movie tickets and snacks are sold. Meanwhile, the customer stood in front of him, waiting for the tickets he just asked for and having his wallet in hand, ready to pay for it. "Umm, I want to see the— Umm, the new movie that you guys have been advertising everywhere since the start of this week. You know the one based on that amazing light novel with the guy and the Umm— what's the name again?" The customer was lost for words, trying to recollect the title of the exact movie he came here to see but was having difficulty doing it. "If the light novel is that amazing then how come you don't remember the name?" Anthony asked with a skeptical gaze
The Midnight Heir GIMME YOUR NUMBER!
Where the assault was happening was someplace close to the entrance of one of the movie theaters, the same one with the poster for the same movie this customer had bought the tickets for. Because the ticket takers who were the only authority in the cinema were at the end of the short corridor leading to the theater itself, even though they were the closest ones to the assault and were supposed to do something about it, they ended up not being aware of its existence. "Come on girl, how many times do I gotta ask before you drop them digits, huh? Quit playing this game of hard-to-get and just do as you're told!" said a tall young guy with a grin and lustful stare. He was leaning uncomfortably close to a young female of similar age and she was in a defensive position, doing her best to move away from him. Unfortunately, she wasn't allowed to. "I said no! How many more times do I have to tell you that I have a boyfriend and I came here with him, so stop pestering me, all three of you!"
The Midnight Heir MAKE SOME NOISE!
Back at the ticket counter, the customer who had just turned to see all of this happening, exclaimed in shock "Hey, what do they think they're doing? That's my girlfriend!" He dropped everything he had just bought, minus the tickets which were in his wallet, on the floor. His sudden response made Anthony who was the only other person there that wasn't involved with any of them, slowly turn his head in that direction and see what was happening. However, even though he was seeing what was taking place, his expression didn't change a bit. He looked utterly bothered because it didn’t concern him. "I can't let them get away with this!" The customer whose anger had skyrocketed from seeing his girlfriend being treated like that clenched fist and it vibrating profusely. He prepared to start running towards them and attack. Meanwhile, Anthony who was assessing the guys over at that side flicked his eyes to the customer beside him, doing so without changing the direction his head was facin
The Midnight Heir I’VE GOT THIS
'The other moviegoers should already be inside the theaters which are sound proof so no matter how much he yells they won't be able to hear him. Many might not even be willing to step out and help, but, that's not the same for the ticket takers and other staff here' Anthony thought, watching the customer who was about to do exactly what he told him to. "Come on princess, stop moving too much so the camera can capture your face—" Jason said but was interrupted by the chime of the girl's phone getting unlocked. Instantly realizing his success in what he had been trying to achieve for the past minute and a half, Jason smirked and let go of her head to operate the phone with his dominant hand. He quickly went into the keypad to dial his number with a huge smirk on his face. She tried to get her phone back but the other two guys used their bigger bodies to obstruct her from getting through, and after trying too hard, she gave up and stepped back. She shrugged "You know what, it doesn
