The Rise of Thomas Miller;the unwanted son-in- law Chapter 24
THE REVELATION Thomas was seated outside the building on the front porch when his phone began to beep. He had intentionally put it in the vibration mood so Maven wouldn’t suspect anything going on in his life. He looked at the phone quickly and grabbed it before it buzzed one more time. "Hello, sir." He spoke into the phone with all seriousness, then a light smile embellished his lips. He filched the bottom and placed the phone in his ear.“Do you still remember we have a deal?” The voice came booming from the other end. Thomas had almost totally forgotten he had scheduled a training section with Sir Larry for later today. There were a lot of things to settle in his life in general. However, going for this training was just one of those things that was as important as the air he breathes; keeping his late father’s legacy and avenging those who killed his parents was not a major task he had to accomplish so he could fully gain access to his wealth. Even though Grandpa Rufus Al Thani

AN URGENT CALL Thomas’s mind is already made for what he might face in the course of going for the contest. He is strongly surprised by his father’s father's willpower to be the best at what he does. He shut his eyes and mouths a few words of encouragement to himself. At least his grandpa knows of his commitments, and in no time he will fully take over all the wealth that has been kept for him. With an affixed gaze on Sir Lary he imagined what would happen if he lost the game. But that isn't his plan. Just then his phone rang, taking him a little off guard. “Who is calling?” Sir Larry asked with curiosity. “I think it's Maven, " he replied without taking his eyes off the phone screen. “She wants to come to her office immediately.” “Oh, I see. And its food you are married to. Family bonding, remember? Sir Larry grinned Then again you must be careful with her uncles. They can be very creepy. “I’ve had a little experience with them; however, I will take your advice."

A FALSE ACCUSATION She took him upstairs through the elevator. The company was calm and quiet, and her uncles have scheduled a meeting, and she is fully aware that all they plan to do is humiliate her yet again, just as they have always done. She held him by the hand, even though he was looking tattered.Her staff watched her as she led the shabbily dressed man into her office. Of course, she knows that they have bad things to say about her. She braced herself, tilted her head up, and walked in with poise and grace. She pushed the door open and led him into her office. “You have a really nice space." He told her as he scanned the room with his large eyes. “Oh! Really?. Thank you so much, Thomas. I didn't quite realize that I had a really nice office until you said it." She teased him with a smile. “I see”.“”So you will have to wait here. I need to confirm if they have started, and then you can join me." She said this and placed her finger on the tip of her lip, like she was thi

YOUR HUSBAND IS GONEThomas was pissed by the time they got out of the conference room.“Why does your family treat you like an outcast? Like you were adopted by your father?” He asked her with a hint of pity in his tone. He had done absolutely nothing but watched them treat and talk to her like trash, but all of that was going to end any time soon.“Thank you, Thomas. I needed you to be with me in that conference room because I cannot deal with all of them by myself.” She said it in a sad tone.“Everything is going to be alright." He assured her and hugged her.“I will be home early so we can play games together." She told him with a reassuring smile on her face. Thomas nodded in response and began to walk away. He swayed his shoulders until he got to the security post. He grinned at them and then balled his fist at them for almost making those dogs bite him up.If Maven had not intervened, he would have been at the hospital treating dogs, or maybe he would have been dead. He made mo

THE SUMMONMaven cried and rolled on the floor when the nurse broke the news for her. She just couldn't believe that her husband was dead. How could he die? He had just been with her a few minutes ago at the office. She wailed and rolled.Then he got up with the help of the nurse."Ma'am, we are about to take him to the morgue. Would you like to see him one more time before we take him out?” The nurse asked with pity in her eyes.With a repeated nod, Maven answered. “Yes please. I would love to see him." She sniffed the snot off her nose and prepared herself for the worst feeling she had ever had. “Get a grip of yourself, ma'am." The nurse said it again and opened the white cloth to reveal his face. Maven held her mouth from screaming as she saw the man lie lifeless on the bed."Wait, this is not my husband." She announced this and wiped her swollen eyes.“Huh?” The nose responded with a shock. “Yes. That's not my husband.” she said and moved closer for a better view. “Yes! He is no

ANSWERING THE SUMMONMaven walked into her room with her shoulders drooping and tired. She knows her mom doesn't like her fake husband, but that doesn't mean she will treat him like he doesn't deserve to live. She climbed up to her room and sat on the bed. She hadn't slept well last night, and it was showing all over her face. She got up and stood in front of the mirror to check her eye bags, which were sitting pretty in their position.She brushed her hair and went into the bathroom for a quick bath. By the time she got out, she realized her phone had charged a bit. She quickly turned it on, only to see several summons messages from her grandma and her uncles and the recent pop-up from David in her chatbox.She hurriedly got dressed and went downstairs. She took a cup of coffee and two slices of bread before leaving the house. As she approached her car, a beautiful butterfly stood on the windscreen, flapping its wings at the rising morning sun. Maven smiled and squinted her eyes at

AVOIDING TROUBLEMaven squirmed from side to side, watching Grandma Clara retire to her room. She was devastated and confused about what to do. Her husband is in the hospital, lying in a very crucial state. All Grandma Clara cares about are contracts and deals. Deals that she knows nothing about. Maven sighed and snickered at once.She had to go back to the hospital to look after Thomas, but then again, grandma is a woman of her words, and if she is unable to meet the demands, she might as well lose everything. She held her jaw in her hand and began to think. She grabbed her phone and walked out of the house. She got into her car and drove off to work. She could only play her favorite music as she drove to work. She wiped the tears that now rolled down her cheek as she recalled every bad treatment and mean word Grandma Clara had ever said to her. This was it, and she has tried so hard not to hate Grandma for anything. She smacked her lips together and focused on driving; she didn’

TROUBLES NEVER END“Uncle Patrick?” I called him out the moment I saw him. I knew I was going to lose my peace for the day until I left the office.“Good morning, Uncle Patrick." She managed to greet him first.“What is good about the morning, Maven?” He asked me, staring daggers at her.“Well. I don’t know. I am alive; I do not know about you." Maven answered.Patrick snickered a little, and with shrouding square shoulders, he walked into the office like he owned her life.“I can see that you have decided to prove how strong you are and how foolishly you want to end your life, just like your father. You are late today, and that is one of the things I have planned to tell Ma Clara today.” Patrick informed her with a with look in his eyes.“Ma Clara knows I will be late; besides, she asked me to stop by her house before coming to work this morning. You can call her and confirm." Maven spoke with so much confidence.“We shall see about that,” Patrick said, bringing out his phone from h

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
