The Rise of Thomas Miller;the unwanted son-in- law Chapter 48
A REUNION Thomas was busy with the laundry when his phone began to ring. It was on a Saturday, and all he could do to help at the time was do the laundry since he was going to have a very long week ahead. He knows that Lady Victoria would rather go on a nail date than have a meal made in the house. He carefully placed each cloth in the machine and did exactly as Maven had taught him some months ago. He whistled and went on with his job happily. He had nothing to worry about except that he needed to finish on time. The moment he was done rinsing the clothes, he took them to the laundry room and spread them on the line with a cloth peck, holding each of them from dropping to the ground.While he was busy, his phone began to buzz. Meanwhile, the night before he had gone to Grandma Clara’s house with Maven and he didn’t like the house, she left angry all because of Sabastian. He has always known Sabastian to be a mischievous fellow, and so seeing him act and speak the way he does with

YOU ARE FIREDMaven decided to go meet her grandma about the situation. Her uncles have been on her neck asking her to resign her position. She had tried to speak with grandma over the phone and nothing reasonable was given to her in response. At 9am she was already at grandma’s house to know her fate and to confirm if her uncles were just lying or telling the truth because she knows that grandma would not hesitate to throw her out of the seat if she wasn’t actually doing well. “Good morning grandma”. Maven greeted the moment grandma appeared in the living room.“What are you doing here Maven?” Grandma asked with heaviness in her tone. She didn’t even bother to look at Maven twice. She took her seat and focused on the magazine she was holding.“Why are you staring like you’ve seen a ghost? If you have nothing to say you can leave. I was quite busy before your arrival” grandma said to Maven without remorse. Maven has always known that grandma doesn’t like her but the words that came o

I AM DONEMaven couldn't even believe that her Grandma would do a thing like that to her. As she laid in bed and Thomas tried all he could to make her feel better before leaving the room. She had told her mom that she'd be needing a whole lot of space which means her mom could no longer speak to her at least for the moment until she is able to clear her head and understand what Grandma was trying to do with her boys. There was no time to regret any of her actions as they were the best she could come up with so the so-called Sabastian Garcia and his rude family can leave her the hell alone.“Well I am not going to let you be Maven. You have made a grave mistake and we are falling now see, grandma has now used this cursed marriage against us. How are we even going to survive these tumultuous times?” This time Victoria isn't really concerned about Maven but fears she would not be able to foot her luxurious life since all of the incentives and paycheck won't be coming in again.“I told

GIVE US THE CARThomas was in the kitchen the night he heard the loud bang on the door. Who could that be at this time of the night?” He questioned as he rinsed the leather off his hands and picked up the red napkin clothed in the dishwasher. Lady Victoria was seated in the living room, but as usual, she would never get up to see who was at the door except she was the only one at home. She even had a pack of juice by her side and the potato chips Thomas had made for her about thirty minutes ago. She had declined dinner and says she only wants to take the snack to bed.“Get the door fast, moron." She muttered as she chewed. Thomas ignores her saucy attitude because he knows that on a good day she will come begging and pleading at his feet. If not for the fact that Grandpa had instructed him to pipe low, all of this would not be happening. He swayed his shoulders from side to side and wiped his hands with the towel before gripping the door knob.“Who is it?” He asked, and just as the

A NEW CARThomas crabbed a hoodie Maven had gotten for him a few weeks ago before her retrenchment at the company. He fit himself into it and joggled down the stairs. When he bumps into Lady Victoria downstairs he pauses for a while to see her.“Where are you going?” she asked him without concern.“Just a few blocks away”. He said clutching his black family card in his hoodie pocket. She sighed in disgust at him and he walked away not minding all her sauciness. She has always been this rude to him since the first day he got into the house and so he is already used to all her bad attitude yet for the sake of the contract and for the mission he is set to accomplish he has decided in his heart never to let any of her actions and words get to him. He bounced out of the house regardless of her opinion about him. Maven on the other hand was upstairs trying to adapt to the ill news she had received the entire week. All Thomas could do was give her consoling words and at some point began to

A SECRET ADMIRER “Sir please have a seat” Tony told Thomas.“Oh, thank you for being nice unlike your other colleague who just wrote me off the moment he saw me.“Tyler is always impatient but trust me when I say he is a very sweet fellow if you get to know him. He loves perfection to the brim”. Tony commended.“Well he would do well somewhere else”. “Yes. Sir. Are you paying by transfer, Card or by check?”“I've got my card and I think we can start from there’. Thomas said with a smile on his face. He reached out for his card in his pocket. “Here you go”. He answered by handing the card over to the sales rep. When Tony saw the logo on the card his eyes widened.“You are an Al Thani?" he asked with shock.“Shhh! Do not the walls hear, they have ears”? Thomas cupped his hand in the corner of his mouth and spoke.“Oh I see”, the young man quickly slid the card into the POS machine and made the transfer. He was happy and Thomas had no option but tip him an extra $5000. ‘Thank you so m

STILL IN AWEMaven and her mother sat in the living room wondering who could be responsible for sending the gift. She smiled and grabbed the keys and headed upstairs. She would wait just maybe the secret admirer would call or try to reach out in some way. Maven laid on her bed and held the note out again to read when her phone began to ring.“Thomas? This isn't the call she was expecting at this point. She sighed and let the phone ring to a stop. She listened to the phone ring again before reluctantly picking up the phone from the bed. “Hello Thomas”. She answered. “Hello Maven I called to tell you I would be quite late today. I would be stopping at my grandma's house. I haven't seen them in a long while”. Thomas told her.“It's fine you can take the whole day if you want”. She waved him off and ended the call, led back on the bed and began to wiggle her legs. Now she can go look for a job somewhere else. She thought in her heart. She had never really worked for any company besides

SENT OUTThe next day David is prepared for his meeting with the Al Thani's; a bright look illuminates his features as he stands in front of the mirror in his room. He held the button to his well tailor azure suit and ran a quick finger in his short but lush hair. “I shall make grandma and everyone else proud.” He whispered to himself and grinned. Just then his door creaked open and his father came into the room.“Hey son, are you ready?” Patrick asked.Looking over at his father he smiled and nodded at the same time. “Yes dad. I am more than ready”.“Breakfast is served. We must get something in our stomach to withstand the pressure that might come with the meeting”. Patrick said like he was already having a feeling that something bad might happen along the line. He shook the thought out of his mind and placed a weak hand on his son's shoulder. “You will get through it successfully and we shall prove to grandma that we made it without anyone's help unlike that foolish girl Maven

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
