Milton wanted to snore so bad. To pretend he didn’t hear what they were speaking. But how could he when Brianna was next to his head fanning him speaking to Roger, “he has been awake for the last few minutes.”What was she playing at? It was the same question Milton and Roger Jackson had in their minds.Brianna was playing a dangerous game and she knew it. Yes, she was Roger’s hand-woman but that didn’t give her the free pass of talking ill about his nephew.The nephew waited patiently for Roger to yell at Brianna to leave again. But the more he waited, the more he realized the man wasn’t going to repeat his words.He felt a hand in his short-trimmed hair. If he hadn’t been listening to his hammering heart, he would have fallen into another deep slumber.Roger Jackson was playing with Milton’s hair to avoid dragging Brianna out of there. He was outside while they were speaking about Milton and whatever reason Brianna had, he didn’t want to hear it.“Sir, you didn’t have to come. I was

“Young master is a snake and will shed his skin soon.” “Young master is a pretender.” “Young master isn’t young master.”Milton heard the staff speaking ill about him. The more they spoke the more Milton decided not to mind. Each morning, he would greet them. If they bumped into each other, he would smile and continue walking as if he didn’t hear about what they said.Milton was waiting for his uncle every night to speak to him but didn’t get the chance to. The master came in the middle of the night and the next morning before Milton rose, the master left.The young master listened to Troy when he informed him about not going back to college. At first, he was adamant because he couldn’t take the dead silence engulfing the mansion, but after reading the expulsion letter from the dean and the spiteful emails from some of the college students he knew it was for the better.And so, while his hands were recuperating, he was shown around the mansion by Zelda. It was so big and Milton knew h

Dickson was finally talking. He had to or else he would have been dragged out of the café screaming bloody murder by Troy.While he was training with Easton, Milton wasn’t okay. He had been thinking about his ex-lover and the fact that he didn’t have a closure made his night harder and harder. Was he crazy to meet Dickson about it instead of Natalie?“Women love men who are rich and have power…”Milton shook his head, it angered Dickson. Milton has been doing that, making Dickson start again. Which of course led to the same sentence. Women love money.“Not my Natalie. Natalie can’t be swayed by money.”“You think.” Dickson scoffed.Milton leaned in, his voice powerful and intimidating, “why her?”“I wanted to be happy as the way you were. I couldn’t watch you, poor filthy bastard being with a gorgeous woman like her. Now, happy?”“Now that is the answer I was looking for,” Milton said, and Dickson didn’t know if he was trying to tell himself or telling Dickson. Did it matter if it was

If it wasn’t for Brianna who barged into the room accompanied by Troy and dragged Bryson out, Milton would have heard some things he wasn’t supposed to hear, yet.“Milton, I apologize about your cousin, once he comes to his senses, he will apologize. That is not like him at all.” Roger Jackson assured a confused Milton.Brianna motioned for Troy to take Milton away. Milton smiled warily at his uncle and left. So many questions rang in his mind but he knew here and now wasn’t the right place to ask.Once Brianna was sure she couldn’t be heard, she spoke, “Sir, I apologize. I wasn’t alerted of his arrival…”Roger cut her off by bagging the table. Brianna didn’t flinch.“None of you are doing your jobs. You know what it means now that he is back, right? Or have you forgotten what he did the last time he was here?”Who would forget the drama Bryson had caused before he left for abroad? The man was a walking red flag and had anger issues even Roger himself sometimes wondered if someone exc

The tension in the house was unpalatable. Anyone in the mansion could feel it. Roger Jackson ate his pancakes while scrolling his phone as if he was absent from the present.Lucinda returned with honey in a ceramic honey jar. This caught everyone’s attention. The three men stared at her, their eyes asking, “has anyone asked for honey?”“Young masters, master.” Lucinda began. Roger placed the table down, knowing very well whatever would come out of Lucinda’s mouth would be nothing but a stupid idea. “You should talk as a family. Make Milton feel at home.”The staff crumbled at the door with their ears on the door waiting to hear what the Jacksons will reply.“I have lost my appetite.” Bryson slapped a pancake on the table.“Bryson, don’t you dare move from that chair,” Roger ordered; his expression unreadable. He then addressed Luciana, “You may leave.”Luciana shrugged, “I tried.”Milton stared at Luciana until he couldn’t see her anymore. Brianna was the only employee who talked any

The attendees were big names in the country. From ministers to CEOs. Even people who were close to the president. Here, one handshake, two sentences to the other and you will walk home with a promise of getting a job. But not for Milton. He caught no one’s attention.He approached Brianna who has been watching him from the corner of the room, “they dismiss me before I mention my name.”“It is because you are not assertive,” Brianna replied, checking on an alert notification on her phone.“When is Roger coming?”“He will be here in a few. Bare in mind, he will be disappointed.”“It won’t be something new, no?”“Now that is the voice you should be using on them and not on me,” Brianna said, humor lingering in her tone.Milton didn’t know what she meant but since it was the first time in the day, she had acted informally to him, he didn’t question what she meant.As they waited for Roger to come, Brianna showed him the pictures of the people in the room and their roles in various gover

“I had my reason, Milton.” Roger Jackson repeated.“Tell me what it is. Tell me why I had to be humiliated like that. Tell me why you thought it is okay for everyone to know the changes and I didn’t. Tell me why.” Milton screamed.This was the first time Milton was expressing his anger. And boy, how good it felt. Rarely did Milton get angry. “I did not sign up for this. I asked you for nothing. I never told you I wanted a company or a hotel. Oh, or the fucking name, ‘young master’.” Milton kicked the table. The veins in his forehead were popping. His lips were trembling.“Milton, you need to calm down,” Brianna spoke for the first time.“You. Get out!” Milton pointed at the door.Brianna rose to hold him.Brianna was skeptical when it came to Roger and his actions toward his family. He might be lenient, sitting here, letting Milton run his mouth, but that didn’t mean he would be quiet forever. Every man had their boiling point and Brianna didn’t want Milton to be on the receiving end
The Rise of the Jackson's Heir Chapter Twenty-Six
He swallowed the painkiller for the second time in the day then slapped his phone down after reading a message from Dominic saying, “sir, you need to relax. Rest for a minute.”How could he rest when he was working the work of thirty people? To make it worse, he wasn’t familiar with the software he was using.The road down to freedom was long forgotten. He was slaving away in the name of proving to his uncle that he was more than a poor man who many knew as a cleaner and a thief.Unfortunately, the longer Milton worked, the longer he messed up. Making the manager to scream at him. Embarrass him. Now, Milton was drowing in self-doubts and pity.The group he was sharing the office with returned half an hour past one. They knew how to keep time and Milton wished they knew how to do their work as well.“Hello. Do you mind finishing this for me?” Milton asked Sarai, the lady seating on the desk beside him.“Close your damn mouth.” Sarai snapped.Milton shook his head with disappointment, h
