The Return Of Franklin Miles   CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY-FIVE
The moment Daisy got back to the hotel, she realized she had run out of her prescribed vitamins. Not wanting to bother anyone, she decided to go to the pharmacy herself. It was a quiet evening, and she hoped to get there and back without drawing attention.As she stepped out, pulling her jacket tighter against the cool breeze, a faint uneasiness settled in. She couldn’t shake the feeling that someone was following her. Glancing over her shoulder, she spotted a car moving slowly, its headlights dimmed but staying close enough to be suspicious.Her fingers trembled as she fumbled for her phone. She quickly texted Franklin:“Someone’s following me. I’m walking to the pharmacy near 7th Street. Can you come?”Franklin’s reply was immediate.“Stay where you are. Don’t move. I’ll be there.”Minutes felt like hours as Daisy stood near the pharmacy entrance, her heart pounding. When Franklin finally arrived, pulling up in his sleek black car, she let out a shaky breath. He got out quickly, his

The next day, Franklin was in his office. Across from him were, Mr. Hugh and Conor sitting attentively, waiting for him to speak.“I’ve been thinking about this for a while,” Franklin began, his tone steady but resolute. “The attack on the hotel and the attention Daisy’s been getting—it’s clear we’re not as secure as I’d like to think.”Conor leaned forward, resting his elbows on his knees. “You think someone’s targeting you specifically?”Franklin nodded. “It’s a strong possibility. I can’t afford to take any chances, especially with Daisy and the baby involved. I need to get her somewhere safe—a home where she doesn’t have to look over her shoulder.”Mr. Hugh adjusted his glasses, his expression thoughtful. “And what about the hotel? It’s been your primary focus for the past few months.”“That’s where you, Deborah and Vera come in,” Franklin replied, meeting his gaze. “I want you and Deborah to manage the hotel. You’ve both been incredible with the day-to-day operations, and I trus

Ashley had been Franklin’s go-to lawyer for the past few months and she came to oversee their new home.“I thought you’d already be unpacking by now,” she remarked, setting her leather briefcase on the table and glancing around the sparsely decorated room.Daisy, curled up on the couch, smiled faintly. “We’ve been… busy. It’s been a lot to process.”Ashley arched an eyebrow. “I can imagine. First, acquiring a new company, and now moving into this place—it’s a lot of change in a short time. But at least you’ve managed to get everything squared away legally.”Franklin joined them, a small grin tugging at his lips. “Thanks to you, Ashley. If it weren’t for your work on the acquisition, we’d still be stuck dealing with endless paperwork.”Ashley allowed a rare smile to creep across her face. “It’s what you pay me for. Besides, I wasn’t going to let you sign anything without knowing every detail. That’s why I came in person—to make sure you didn’t miss any hidden clauses.”Daisy tilted her

Franklin was in his new home office, surrounded by piles of documents. His new company was finally taking shape, but the process of setting it up had been exhausting.He spent long hours reviewing files, making calls, and meeting with potential clients and partners. It left little time for anything else, let alone paying attention to what Daisy was doing.Meanwhile, Daisy was curled up on the living room couch, her phone in hand. A smile lit up her face as she typed a message to Oliver Hayes. They had been chatting secretly for weeks, and their conversations were the only thing keeping her spirits up.Daisy: Hey, are we still on for tomorrow?The reply came almost immediately.Oliver: Of course. I can’t wait to see you. Same spot as last time?She bit her lip, trying to contain her excitement.Daisy: Yes. I’ll find an excuse to step out. You’re not backing out, are you?Oliver: Never. You’ve been on my mind all day.Daisy’s cheeks flushed as she quickly deleted the messages, making su

“Good,” Daisy replied with a smile. “Just the usual.”Franklin watched Daisy closely as she walked in. Something about her felt… off. She looked too happy, too carefree, like she had just come back from a fun trip, not from running errands.“Welcome back,” he said, trying to sound normal.“Thanks!” Daisy replied cheerfully, setting her bag down on the couch.Franklin didn’t say much else. He just stood there, watching her. His gut told him something wasn’t right, but he had no proof. Daisy wasn’t careless. Whatever she was doing, she was covering her tracks well.“You okay?” Daisy asked, tilting her head as she noticed his expression.“Yeah,” Franklin said quickly, forcing a smile. “Just tired.”“You’ve been working too much. You need to rest,” she said sweetly, walking over and giving him a quick hug.Franklin stiffened for a second but then hugged her back. “Yeah, maybe.”The house was quiet, but his mind wasn’t. He couldn’t stop thinking about everything that had happened recently.

The next morning, Franklin decided to break the news to his dad. He’d been staring at his phone for over an hour, debating whether to make the call. He knew what his father’s reaction would be, but he couldn’t keep this a secret forever.Taking a deep breath, he dialed the number.“Franklin,” his father answered after the second ring. “It’s been a while. You’ve finally decided to stop hiding?”Franklin ignored the jab. “I need to tell you something.”There was a long pause on the other end. “Go on.”Franklin rubbed his temple, the words heavy in his throat. “Daisy’s pregnant.”Silence.“Dad?”“Are you telling me,” his father’s voice came low and sharp, “that the girl I explicitly told you to stay away from is now carrying your child?”Franklin felt his chest tighten. “Yes.”“You knew she was trouble, Franklin! I warned you about this girl from the start. And yet, here you are, proving me right again.”Franklin clenched his fist. “Dad, I’m handling it.”“Handling it?” his father barked
The Return Of Franklin Miles   CHAPTER ONE
"Suite 200.’’ Franklin Miles gritted his teeth and muttered under his breath.He was dressed in his gray pants and white shirt, delivery uniform as he walked into Golden Gate Hotel, looking for the suite where he had to deliver the food.He checked his pocket for the suite's number, he felt the ring in his left pocket and took it out. He looked at the ring with a mix of feelings, gently touching it as it sparkled in the light.He smiled, thinking about the romantic moment he planned with his girlfriend, Daisy Bernard. This ring was his engagement ring, and he was going to propose to Daisy after work today.He carefully put the ring back in his pocket and took out the card with the suite number written on it.Franklin knocked on the door, which opened to reveal a man in his early thirties."Hello, Sir," Franklin said, with a polite smile. "Your delivery is here.""Oh, excellent!" the man replied, his eyes twinkling. "But why don't you come inside? I have something I'd like to show you.
The Return Of Franklin Miles   CHAPTER TWO
Daisy chuckled, "Regret? What's there to regret? I've got nothing to lose. Don't act like you're something special, Franklin. I know who you are, just a poor delivery guy! Now get out of here!" She taunted."This is why I said it'd be fun," Richmond laughed, "A naive poor guy thinks a pretty girl would stick with him for life." He jeered, "But he'd never know the good time I had with his girl while he was off delivering food, thinking she'd marry him. Your food's good, but your girl tastes better."Daisy playfully slapped Richmond's shoulder, "You're terrible!" Her voice sounded timid, but her actions spoke otherwise as she hugged him from behind.Richmond remarked, "I heard you've never slept with Daisy. Too bad bro, you'll never know how good she is in bed."Franklin felt his fists clench again and his teeth grit as irritation flooded him."Thinking of fighting him, delivery boy? Just leave. You'd be in trouble if you touched him. He's rich, you're poor, that's the difference!" Dais
