The Rise of Thomas Miller;the unwanted son-in- law CHAPTER 16
SHE IS MY WIFE NOWJust as Maven took a seat on the bed, her phone began to beep from the corner where she had kept it. She turned to face it, slowly wondering who it was that was calling her. She walked over and picked up the phone.“It's grandma”. She announced. After a while, she puts the phone down, her voice changing totally into a frown and sadness. “What did she want?” Thomas asked casually. At least he has met with Grandma Clara before, and the way she acted that day made him realize that Maven must have been going through a lot to please the old lady, who was a direct autocrat.“She has fixed a dinner date with Sabastian and wants me to be present since we have a deal to sign with their company.” Maven announced.“Do you have to be there? Do you have to sign a contract with Garcia Pharmaceuticals? There are other ways to be influential than marrying off a daughter to a man she doesn't love." Thomas said it with pain in his tone, but there was nothing he could do about it.

THE FOOL IS HEREWhen grandma said this, Maven nudged Thomas with her elbow and quickly pulled out the seat for him to join the family at the dinner. Just then, Victoria showed up. She had been skeptical about what Grandma would do to her if she rejected a family dinner with the most wanted Sabastian Garcia."Oh, thank goodness you are here, Victoria. I do not know where you got this daughter of yours from. If I had not known any better the history between you and her late father, I would have concluded that you birthed her with another man. Maven definitely doesn’t have the Taylor blood flowing through her veins."Grandma complained the moment Maven’s mom got into the room.“I am sorry for her unruly behavior, Ma Clara. I shall talk some sense into her later." Victoria said just to make Grandma feel better, but her tricks didn’t work this time.“You should know better that a weak woman like you cannot make any sense to a grown woman. Now, look at the embarrassment she has brought upo

A LITTLE FIST FIGHTThe moment they finished eating. Maven helped the chef, Abigail, clear the table so everyone else was seated and having fun. Thomas saw that his wife had cleared the table, and he quickly ran up to her with the glasses in his hand.“That was a good meal, Abigail." He complimented the chef. A shy smile escaped her face.“Thank you, Mr. Thomas. They never see my effort in this house; I hope they one day see it." She said that, and then a smile suddenly disappeared from her face. They washed the plates while grandma and her sons sat with Sabastian talking about business. Sabastian, on the other hand, could not for a second stop bragging about how wealthy his family was. His voice and words made Maven angry even more. She couldn’t hide the pang of hatred that built up in her heart.At this point, Thomas’ phone began to ring. He wiped the leather from his hands, pulled the phone out of his back pocket, and cupped the top of the phone with his hand to get the caller ID

A BITTER MORNING The moment they got to the house, Victoria was already standing by the door, waiting for them to arrive. When Maven saw her facial expression, she knew there was trouble, but there was absolutely nothing she could do about it.“My mom doesn't look happy, but trust me, she cannot chase you out of here." Maven said with clenched teeth as she held Thomas's hand firmly.“Hey mom, what is the matter?” Maven asked her when they had walked a little bit closer to her. “What was all that about? What did you think you were doing with him at Grandma Clara's house when you knew Sabastian would be there?” She queried. Well, I wasn't there for Sabastian. I went there because Grandma asked me to show up at her house." Maven corrected. Did you find it fit to go there with this moron? Look how he embarrassed the family before Sabastian." Victoria spoke with anger, not minding how hurtful her words were or how far they could go in hurting Thomas."Mom, he is now my husband. You all

A MISSING FILEOutside the Al Thani Group Tower, Maven had just pulled up in her SUV, the same car she has been using for about two years. The car had no respect for anyone and could decide to stop even at the center of the road, causing frustration for Maven, especially on days she has to be present at a very important event. Today she prayed that it wouldn’t disturb her, at least until her meeting was over. She pulled up in front of the magnificent building.She sighed the moment she saw the large sign light on the pinnacle of the tower. Her family could never be this organized and wealthy. They had so much strive, and they were only good at trolling all her efforts to make things better than they are. Maven is tired and exhausted by the way Grandma Clara treats her. For the past four years, she has handled one of the major branches of the company. The same one, Uncle Patrick, ran to its lowest point, and now that it has been revived, grandma is speaking of handing it to David if

A MISSING FILEMaven hurried out of the hall and got into her car. She drove off to her office like a lion chasing a prey beads of sweat filled her body as she pulled over and jumped out of her car. She scurried into the elevator and headed for her office. Her secretary Grace was on seat when she got in.“You are back so early Ma'am”. Grace observed “Grace am in deep trouble as we speak,” Maven said, scratching her head.“What do you mean, ma'am? Grace asked with a puzzled look on her face.‘Remember the Tender file I was working on for bidding with the Al Thani's?“Yes. I do”. Grace answered.“well! I can’t find it. I was at the tower this morning and I just realized the file isn't with me. I have a wrong envelope". Maven spoke, her voice thick with mucus as she sniffed. She grabbed her handkerchief, which she had earlier placed on the table, and placed it across her nose. She then blew the heavy mucus into it to relieve herself a bit. “ I am so sorry Ma'am. Let me help you sear

AN INTRUDER"Thomas, thank you for coming through for me, “Maven said with gratitude. Her tone was filled with heartfelt happiness.Thomas looked at her and shook his head. I already told you, I got your back, my wifey," he smiled and rubbed her softly on the chin. ‘Perhaps you should get going now so you won’t be late for your meeting." Thomas raised his brows as he spoke to her.“That’s right! Thank you so much." She responded.Thomas hurriedly made his way out of the enormous tower. He covered his head with the faded hoodie and began to stretch his legs out. Thomas stole a few glances as he watched his back from the corner of his eyes. No one knew who he was yet, but he still had to cover himself. No one must recognise him. The moment he was out, he hopped into a taxi and headed home.He sat in the taxi for a while, and then he brought out his phone and dialed a number.“Listen here! Everything must go as planned. Do not mess things up!” he spoke into the phone. The conversation

WHAT DO THEY REALLY WANT? Maven took the spoon and got a first taste of the pasta Thomas had spent almost half a century preparing in the kitchen. “Come on, mom. It isn’t That bad… She was not done with her speech when she spit out the food. “What is anything wrong with it?’ Thomas asked ignorantly. “Shut up, fool. Where is the seasoning you added to it?” Victoria always spoke to him with venom and hatred because she thought that Thomas had bewitched her daughter into marrying him. “Let me go get the seasoning. I am sorry." He said it sharply and got to the kitchen. In less than a minute, he appeared with the seasoning so they could add it to their food. They all took part in and added to the meal. The minute they were done eating, Thomas packed all the dirty plates and headed to the kitchen to do the dishes, while Maven retreated to her room to finish some jobs she had at hand. Victoria was still sitting in the living room with a half-filled glass of fresh juice standing

HOME AT LAST The moment they finished the duo got up and began to walk from the VIP lounge section to the main restaurant. Suddenly Thomas paused as a sense of danger hit him. His eyes shot a glowing green light and when Maven saw it she became very terrified. “What is wrong with you Thomas?Why are your eyes glowing?”she began to panic.From all she could see, Thomas looked like a demigod. “Is everything alright? The moment she shook him violently he came back to his original self. The green glow in his eyes died down immediately. “I think someone needs my help around here”. He said unbuttoning his suit as he began to walk faster. He increased his pace so much that Maven had to run along with him. “What do you mean someone needs your help?” she asked him but he gave her deaf ears and continued without stopping to say a single word. She called his name and ran after him till they got to the hall. “Call the ambulance”. Maven heard loud voices screaming while others tried to gi

A DATE The moment Maven got home her mom had done the decorations and a cake was placed on the table with candles. ‘What’s going on here? Maven asked as she walked into the living room. Lady Victoria had a smile on her face. “Happy birthday my child”. Lady Victoria said, handing the glass of wine to Maven. ‘Mom. You did all of this for me? Awn! Thank you so much”. Maven said smiling, she took the glass from her mom and sipped from the wine. “This is good.” She then cleared her throat and clasped her hands together. “Look what we have here”.She exclaimed and rushed off to sit close to the cake. I have a wish and I want to make it. She closed her eyes and took in a deep breath for a second before blowing off the candle sticks. Lady Victoria and Abigail clapped their hands happily. “Happy birthday Ms.” Abigail said to her and handed her a small box. “You got me a gift too?’ Maven asked with her eyes watering. “Come here” she grabbed the lady and hugged her tightly.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAVEN "What agreement are you talking about mom?"Maven asked her mother. “You know about it already and Grandma here knows too. It’s long overdue and I need to get my life together. A life outside of the Taylor’s roof”. Lady Victoria was determined to get her life back at least for the rest of her days. Having a companion and someone to share her burden with. “Grandma, what do you have to say to this proposal?’ Maven asked, looking at her grandma with knowing eyes. “Mom, what exactly are they talking about? What deal do you have with Victoria? Do you have any idea Derrick?’ Patrick turned to his brother and asked him. Derrick shook his head. “I have no damn idea anything like this ever took place. “Whoa! Mom, that's pure wickedness. I thought all these while she stayed back with us because she so loved her husband and wanted to keep the legacy going. I never knew you had some contract running right under our noses” Patrick said the words without filtrating an

WE ARE SORRY Since the incident Maven has just been minding her business until Grandma’ request for dinner came through. She had always known who grandma was when it came to having dinner or lunch or even breakfast at her place. With all that has gone on she just doesn’t want to get entangled with grandma and her boys, just focusing on her job and if need be quit if another chaos comes. All that mattered to her right now was her peace of mind and sanity. Maven walked down to meet her mother in the living room. “Mom, did Grandma Clara call you?’ She asked her mother if she had her eyes glued on the TV for her favorite show. The lady shook her head repeatedly without taking her eyes off the screen. “Well, I guess we would be having dinner at grandmas’ I suggest you go get dressed.” She informed her mother. Lady Victoria looked up at Maven with a frown on her face. “I am not going to Clara’s house for no dinner” she said rudely, grabbing the remote control on the table. “Why?Sh

SENTENCED It’s been three months since Sebastian has been in and out of court. His Lawyer Bryan knows well that Sebastian would never win the case against the government and the Al Thani’s. The biggest name in the society. He had his head bowed in the cubicle when his lawyer made the last statement. The presiding judge Albert Wilmore sat on his seat with the wig hanging stylishly on his head. An old man from the North. He is presumed to be the best and sincere judge in the entire city. “Get me out of here” he whispered to his lawyer in a very soft tone. “I am trying my best. The judge is a strict one but I will see what I can do. “What do you even mean by that? I don’t need you to try, I need you to get me out. What’s there to lie and convince the court that I didn’t do it? You can’t even lie. Shame on you”. He said and just then the judge hit the gavel to maintain order. The break was over. The judge cleared his throat. “After hearing from both parties, this honorable court

LET THEM GO The moment she saw the news she knew she had to do something to save her son. She had gone to the station to plead and try to bride David but the officers wouldn’t let her do that despite the fact that they know her too well. “I need my son out of here. No one is saying anything”, she began to cry. Just then Thomas drove in. She threw her bag on the floor and rushed to meet him. “I asked you to get your lawyers ready. David is appearing in court in a few days and there is nothing anyone will do about it. I will not let him treat my wife like that all because of envy”. Thomas was still pissed at what David did. But before he could say one more word, the old woman fell on her knees and began to plead. Everyone came out and began to look in surprise that the all mighty Lady Clara Taylor could go on her knees begging a small boy like Thomas all because she wants her son to come out of prison. At this point Thomas remembered his grandma and how she had gone to her k

CROWNED The morning after the whole incident Thomas’s assistant called in. Thomas was still in bed when his phone began to ring. “It’s too early for all the calls to start coming in”. He murmured as she reached out for the phone. Seeing Greg’s name made his heart churn a little bit. “Greg, what do we have this morning?’ he asked in a greasy voice. “Sir, you have a meeting with the Lesotho group at 9am”. His phone was calm and patient. “I will try not to be late. Put everything in other”. “Yes boss! Greg answered. They spoke on the phone for a while listing Thomas’ meetings and activities for the day after which they ended the call. Thomas got out of bed grudgingly. After the whole drama for the week he doesn’t see himself getting into any meeting or sit but he had to do it for the sake of the company. The company has to go one way or the other. Just as he got the tip of his bed a knock came on his door. He turned his head to look over. He knows his grandpa or Lucas, his co

MAVEN IS DISCHARGED Lady Victoria has never been this rude to grandma but since Grandma has decided to bite the finger that feeds her then she would have to face the dance and the music she had set for herself. Thomas left the prison that instance and he headed straight to the hospital to meet Maven. On his way he had asked Grace Maven’s assistant to watch over her while they await her discharge time. He hurried and drove the car to the hospital and when he arrived at the front gate the men he kept to safeguard the yard nodded at him. They were dressed in black suits and black face Masks different from the security men who work for the hospital. He raised up using the elevator to the fourth floor where Maven was. He waved at the nurse rashly and wafted past her like spoke ready to consume a whole bush. This was the moment he wished he could kill his enemies with his powers but that would not be very necessary at this point. He is not big enough to face David and Sebastian. Rath
