He wore a black leather jacket, polo shirt, and slacks. Accompanied with black Cheaney Richmond R Derby Boot in Mahogany Grain Leather that Lucinda gave him, claiming, “your mom said I should give it to you when you reach of age.”

As much as he wanted to ask more of that, he wouldn’t. How could he when in the corner of his eyes, he could see Brianna staring at him with doe eyes?

Noticing his attention was elsewhere, Lucinda made eye contact with Marielle, and together, they narrowed their eyes at Brianna. Instead of shrinking, Brianna’s facade remained neutral, her stance stoic.

Everybody wore black and they were ready to leave. Roger and Bryson joined them and they left for the memorial home.

On the road, Milton listened as Marielle and Lucinda spoke highly of Crystal Jackson. Crystal helped Marielle big time by saving her from loan sharks who killed her husband.

Even as she spoke of Crystal, you could see the shame in her eyes. They haven’t spoken much after Zelda accused Milton

    Tiwari came an hour later with Bryson. Milton shook his head at Tiwari when he pointed at Natalie. If he mentioned Natalie’s name, he would have to spend another hour listening to Natalie just yapping and yapping. “Hey, Bryson.” Natalie greeted, pulling away from Dickson, without forgetting to look at him with disgust. Milton moved out of the way, something told him Natalie wouldn’t miss a chance to push him. Natalie purred as she ran her arm on Bryson’s biceps. Tiwari crossed his hands over his chest and stared at the couple. Then at Milton who was tapping his chin. Humming, Milton said, “work it is.” Bryson cussed lowly under his breath. Today wasn’t the day to deal with the likes of Natalie. “Bryson, why is he like this? Is he even your cousin?” Natalie spat, staring at Milton with looks that could kill. “Bryson, we need to talk. Call me as soon as you can.” Milton said and nodded at Tiwari. He would love to speak to him right now, but he thought against it, after all, it wa

    “Milton, when you said I should work, I didn’t expect you to think I did be at your beck and call. It is disrespectful of you. Furthermore, you know how much I cared for your mother. Unlike you who didn’t take yesterday seriously, some of us do. We needed yesterday to mourn Crystal.” Roger yelled. Giving Milton no chance to respond, he continued, “you should have denied the invitation. “You are drenching the Jacksons’ name in the mud. Making a low life like Mr. Stone to treat us the way he wants. I am sure he has been going around telling everywhere he invited you at the last minute like a pauper. Only for you to show up, not by yourself, but accompanied by us. What have you been doing?“While we are at it, if you want to be disrespected by everyone, do it alone and not pull us all along. And if you have gotten stupider, you should remember I may not be Master Jackson but I am still your uncle.” Roger Jackson slapped his fist on the table, and the cutleries shook. Milton had stoppe

    “Just as Brianna helped Ronae set herself at the Purple City, Crystal helped Mrs. Glen with her business. Fiona Glen is what she is now because of Crystal’s connection.” Tiwari explained. Milton hummed. “But before her death, things were not cool. Again, just like the relationship between Ronae and Brianna.” Bryson chirped in, staring at his cousin with adoration. Milton couldn’t help but look back. His cousin was giving him the creeps. “Dear cousin, you are getting wiser,” Bryson answered Milton’s unvoiced question. Milton chuckled. Milton was glad Bryson knew about the Glens. Although Bryson didn’t like to work most of the time, he was up to date with everything happening around the scions. He knew where a powerful daughter of a politician would dine and other useful information to use to his advantage. Gabe Glen tended to lose his parents’ money but it hasn’t been as bad as this time. His gambling habit has gotten out of hand. Well, Milton didn’t care but it was good to kno

    “Ask for ownership.”Milton almost choked on his drink. Tiwari rubbed his back and continued, “get something to use as collateral. You must be vicious.” “Am I mixing my issues with business?” Milton cocked his eyebrow while inquiring about this.“That is not what I am saying. Sir, I met his employees yesterday and it is not good. Now, if you don’t want everything to go down to waste and be the same as Green Glen, take a different approach. He is desperate and he would agree to anything.” Tiwari explained, his voice calm.Milton scratched his head. He wished there was another way. Never as he thought he would someone’s weakness to his advantage. But what would he do? Things were bad for Mr. Glen. From a business point of view, Milton knew Tiwari’s idea was best.“Okay.” “Great. We have the money ready, sir. I succeeded in completing the sale of the Abrams.” Milton hummed. He had questions as to how his uncle agreed for Tiwari to sell the company but didn’t ask. Something told him

    Milton was tired of how Nala treated him whenever they saw each other. And now, since he was practically saving their family from damnation due to their stupidity, he wanted to slap her. He held on to the rails and shook his head, “Miss Nala, this is inappropriate. If you want me to leave, just ask instead of pushing me around.” “Oh, you wish. You are nothing, okay? Nothing. I don’t care about you. So, leave. Or else you want the repeat of what Gabe did to you?” Milton chuckled, this was a better time to pull out from the help, after all, he hasn’t signed any contract with Mr. Glen. He saw Nala and Gabe on their knees begging him to help again. What was word of mouth anyway? Before he could drag her back to her father’s office and inform her father he was tired of working with them and should find help somewhere, he heard Glen speaking loudly on the phone. “My son, you have been doing well with the Jacksons, haven’t you? Master Jackson has decided to help us.” Milton wondered if

    “Twenty isn’t what you agreed but it is fair,” Tiwari commented as he snatched the agreement paper of shares between Milton and Mr. Glen.“Things must be bad for him, uh?” Milton said and left to grab his meal. Tiwari followed him and before he pushed him behind and told him he was the boss, Milton told him he needed to do this for him, at least once. “That was unfair. Sir, I brought you here because it was your mother’s favorite place. Not because I wanted you to act as my servant.” Tiwari said while biting on his hotdog. Milton hummed and took a bite of his, he couldn’t help but moan. “This is good.” He said. They finished eating and Tiwari asked him a burning question, “it has been a week and Gabe hasn’t disturbed you. I am sure it has something to do with the shares. But sir, the last time you asked me to check on what is happening at the Green Glen, it was bad news. Don’t tell me you want to pay his employees.” “I can do that?” Milton asked and Tiwari almost choked on his col

    “Young man, who are you to tell me you can’t buy it? I am the ‘city mom’. Hey. Look at me when I am talking.” Miss Ramona screamed at the top of her lungs. Milton was very tempted to cover his ears. Making eye contact with the woman, he moved away, her saliva splattered on his face. Seriously, how close did she want to get to him? He was regretting agreeing to meet this woman. Earlier, Milton was in a meeting with the marketing team alongside Simone. She was here about marketing the Warren Agency. Milton called the marketing team to help. Thirty minutes into the meeting, Aida called that a woman wanted to meet Milton. If Milton knew the nuisance was Miss Ramona, he wouldn’t have agreed to this.And now, here she was, without a prior arrangement, and instead of being respectful for barging into his office, he was practically forcing Milton to buy her company. From what he read yesterday after he left the casino with Meehan, he couldn’t risk buying a company like The Ramona Enterpr

    This day was getting worse. Earlier, he was fighting the urge to cover his ears, and now, he was fighting to keep his eyes open. Mr. Glen was talking and talking. Not giving him a chance to tell him that he wasn’t buying what he was selling. When Milton agreed to offer him money in return for getting shares in his company, he didn’t think it would be a door for Mr. Glen to propose plans for their future projects. Seriously, the supply to East National Prison was ongoing, and if it weren’t for him, it would have failed. Hell, Gabe has been a no-show, and Tiwari was helping with the exportation, and what? Another project? Either Mr. Glen was stupid or he thought Milton was stupid. Milton regretted not going out with Aida to take lunch. His intestines were eating each other. Thankfully, his stomach hasn’t embarrassed him. “Sir, isn’t that amazing?” Mr. Glen asked. Milton almost facepalmed. Of course not! Not in a million years! He wasn’t going to accept it. Milton would have give

    Milton was furious. Tiwari had been by his side since his arrival. And now he wasn’t.He had to do everything possible to make Gabe pay. Hell, his whole family to pay for the damage he has done.

Tiwari was in a coma.Gabe has been in their basement for weeks now and Milton didn’t care what Brianna and Bryson planned on doing to him.He has been a nuisance and no matter how many times he asked him to stop, he didn’t. As Milton left the hospital, he promised himself to bring the Glens to their foot and hopefully, this would make Gabe learn his lesson. Brianna didn’t have any problem doing it. After all, Milton was counting on her. “We have the buyer ready,” Brianna reported when they got into the car.“Good. Buy it.” Milton said.Brianna agreed. Milton wanted Brianna to buy all of the Glens’ shares from them and then sell them. In the evening, Brianna informed Milton it was over and she took some shares too

    “Sir, thank you so much for this splendid opportunity. We won’t take it for granted.” One of the farmers thanked Milton.Milton nodded enthusiastically. Indeed, it was the best investment he has done since he entered into business. Seeing the smile on the farmers' faces was something he wouldn’t miss even if he was asked to travel abroad to meet someone important. Milton was accompanied by Natalie, Genevieve, and Red Jones. Over the past few weeks, Natalie managed to make the employees understand that sometimes, the past was in the past. Thus, she has been selected to present them here. The training had been for four weeks straight, and Milton promised them to continue if there was anyone who didn’t understand well. As they were approaching Red’s parents, Milton thought. “I should donate for free the next time.” No one knew how grateful he was. And the great lengths he would go to see everyone succeed. Things have been better. Since he told Bryson he was open to being included,

    Milton entrusted Tiwari to handle the whole situation and put it to complete rest, forever. He didn’t think too deeply of the possibility it was someone in his inner circle, after all, he had planned on Rickie Colton. He was absent-minded most of the morning and luckily, he only had a meeting with Red Jones who called earlier on and said he would drop by.He was thankful Aida didn’t take any meetings because he wouldn’t concentrate on any of them.At the end of the day, Milton Jackson finally decided what to do. He would risk everything and hopefully, it wouldn’t return to bite him in the ass.With Tiwari busy in the office, Milton called Brianna and asked her to drive him to where Rickie was. Brianna hesitated at first, “I don’t think this is a good idea, sir.”“I don’t remember asking for your opinion. Brianna. Just drive.” “Okay. Let me inform Tiwari then.” “And here I thought you work for me.” Brianna chuckled dryly and nodded at Milton to follow her. They went to the parking

    Ahem.This caught the employees’ attention. Natalie couldn’t miss this opportunity to rush out of there. Before Milton would think of following her, Tiwari grabbed his arm and held it tightly.“What is the meaning of this?” Asked Genevieve. One of the employees gave her his phone while looking down, shaken. But, if anyone asked, they were not embarrassed at all. Or shaken that the boss has caught them idling around.Genevieve moved closer to Milton so he could also watch the video. By the time it ended, even if Tiwari searched for chains and put Milton down, he would still find a way to go for Natalie.It was a clip of the time Natalie had invited Milton to the party in college. And there it was, Natalie, shaming the living life out of Milton. Milton looked devastated. As if he didn’t belong.Dickson’s hand was around Natalie’s waist and he was smiling triumphantly, enjoying Milton’s predicament. Some of the employees have seen Dickson before and they knew this wasn’t one of the fake

    They didn’t need a body language expert to see that something was amiss between Milton and his bodyguards. Unfortunately, this wasn’t useful.As much as anyone could see that Milton was fighting with his lead man, AKA, Tiwari, the pictures showed Tiwari was ready for anything if anyone came at Milton. He would fight to the death if he had to.His previous trials have failed miserably and it was high time he let go and perhaps, through miracles, he would get into Milton’s life. Rickie didn’t try to get anywhere closer to Milton unless it was vital like on events and all that.The pictures changed to Milton speaking to Bryson and they seemed to be arguing and when it showed Brianna and Tiwari staring at the two of them speaking, Rickie groaned painfully.Something was going on and if only he knew what it was, he would find a way into their lives.“Dad, what now? Please don’t tell me you want me to be a sucker like you because I won’t. Remember, you brought me into this and I am not lea

    Sooner or later, she had to accept it was her fault and no one was to blame. Hell, shouldn’t she be grateful that Milton was kind enough to open his door for her? Looking back, from the moment Milton began opening up to her, he wasn’t unclear at all. He didn’t let his hands wander. His eyes didn’t linger in inappropriate places. Milton carried himself with utter respect.Those signs had been clear. For Milton, he needed a crying shoulder. And she was the perfect person for that because once upon a time, they spoke of their dreams and vision. Things changed, big time. Her dream came through. What about his? Theirs? As a bright young lady, she knew for Milton, it wasn’t working out. If only she had been patient, she would have learned deeply about it. But no, she went ahead and asked him, again!She wanted more. More which Milton wouldn’t offer. Although she was his supporter, it didn’t mean he would tell her everything. Natalie knew sooner or later she had to wake up from the dream

    “I will go on this ridiculous vacation on one condition,” Roger said, leaning backward.“Dad, I don’t think you have an option here,” Bryson stated, walking towards his father with calculated moves.Two hours later, Bryson, Tiwari, and Brianna realized Roger wasn’t going to change his mind. This was bad.“It is not like you can drag me there, is it?” Roger asked, smiling triumphantly.“Oh. Hush you.” Bryson said and walked out of the room, Tiwari narrowed his eyes at Roger while Brianna’s face was unreadable.“You must inform Milton,” Brianna said on their way out of the mansion.“Tell Milton what?” Natalie asked.“Oh. Gracious.” Brianna muttered. She hadn’t seen her in a while, she has forgotten she was still there.They arrived outside and Brianna asked Tiwari what they should do about Natalie. Tiwari shook his head and said, “we will let Milton decide.” “This means we should let him know about the plan, right?” Bryson asked from behind.“Stop sneaking from behind,” Brianna whispe

    Since Milton and Meehan’s lunch didn’t happen last time, they figured it would be better to do it today and Aida was more than welcome. Natalie had been sitting outside for the past one hour while waiting for Aida and after realizing Aida was inside the office, laughing, she realized it was lunchtime and it wouldn’t be fair disrupting them. However, the countless laughter from inside frustrated her. Natalie knocked whilst they were laughing at a reel Meehan has showed them.Wiping his hands with the paper towel, Meehan asked, “Miss Natalie, have you taken lunch? There is enough here for all of us.” Aida and Milton stared at each other and cracked up. Emotions passed through Natalie’s face faster and then disappeared. If Milton and Aida hadn’t been still laughing, they would have noticed. Freely, Meehan pulled Natalie to the couch, grabbed the files she had, and handed her some fries. “Come on, eat.” Natalie ate, sparing a glance at Aida and Milton who hadn’t looked at her even
