The slight creaking sound of the door woke Milton up. Patiently, he waited for the person to come to his bed. Too bad the person was leaving and not entering.

He grunted as he tried to wake up. The events of that night flooded back. He recalled the voices but two specific people were too strong in his memory; Dickson’s and Bryson’s.

If he wasn’t angry at his cousin for leaving him, he would have cared about how broken Dickson sounded on what he said about his family carrying him as a child.

He tried to open his eyes but couldn’t. Ever since he came here, he has been involved in two accidents now, and two recorded incidents that he didn’t have anything to do with it.

Milton was flabbergasted by everything, and if it were not for the fact that he took his uncle as his savior, he would have started being skeptical of everything.

How long has he been out? Where was his wife? How was

    “It is a comedy, honey,” Milton said, rubbing his wife adoringly.Samantha pouted, lifted her eyes, and sighed dramatically, “you are enjoying this.”Milton shrugged, “so much.” He then winked.This was more of their honeymoon than one weekend alone. Samantha was relieved to have him this close. She was regretting what she had said about him, nevertheless, she was trying to push it back since Milton asked her to.She could see genuine care for Milton. He liked her.And to make it better, he kept assuring her that they were working hard in finding out who killed Genos. And since she was beginning to trust him and she believed in her brother, for the first time in her life, Samantha Genos was letting it go.“I am sorry Dad, I am not turning the town upside down while painting it red.

    Tiwari and Brianna were recruited by Crystal Jackson when they were teenagers. They were both geniuses and determined.But there was a catch; when everyone knew Brianna since she was seen with Crystal sometimes, no one knew of Tiwari’s existence. Even Brianna was unaware of someone trained the same way as her. Brianna learned of Tiwari’s existence after Milton’s parents’ death. And so did Roger. After, people thought of Tiwari as Crystal’s freelance. They didn’t know how deep his and Crystal’s relationship went.Brianna closed her eyes tightly while Roger brushed his hair back. Bryson had a question, again.If they knew this was how he was going to behave, they would have just prepared a spreadsheet for him, asked him to learn, and later on, he would send questions in a pdf form so Brianna would respond.He was testing their patience.“What now?” Asked Brianna.“What do you mean their relationship runs deeper? Did they?” Bryson leaned forward, his eyes twinkling mischievously.“Ew.

    Glen Inc. has two CEOs. The CEOs at Glen Inc. were Nala Glen and her father, Mr. Glen. And it was family-owned just like the Jackson Co. and Jackson Inc. Since Milton was already handling Gabe Glen of the Green Glen and, Roger, Bryson, and Brianna wouldn’t care less, so, it was Bryson’s task to use all of his power to be at the good end with both CEOs. Brianna and Roger didn’t tell him which methods he was to use, giving Bryson the power to be creative. He had to succeed so his father would give him tasks without second thoughts just like he has been doing to Milton Jackson. “Perhaps jealousy wasn’t an evil trait.” Thought Bryson.

No one was here that day other than Samantha Genos. Or perhaps there is something you are not telling me which makes you think there is someone amongst us working for Brianna and Roger? Which one is it, Dad?”“No.” Colton was acting suspiciously and it wasn’t helping his case. Rickie wanted evidence that truly, there was a traitor amongst them.Furthermore, his father was adamant about telling him why Samantha was there.

    “Sir, you can’t save every company you find. Some are meant to fall.” Nikolai stated, rubbing his itchy nose with his thumb.“I know, Michelle,” Milton replied, trying not to throw everyone in the car outside.“Sir, perhaps you should let someone handle your wife,” Nikolai said slowly. The fact that Milton had mistaken their name showed that he was disturbed by what he saw regarding his wife.He was out here making money and she was busy making out with other men? Seriously. She hadn’t given him the chance to explain to her about Natalie and now this?“Nikolai, I am grateful. But let us keep things professional.”“Okay.” As of now, Nikolai didn’t have one title to himself.

    “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.

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.

    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.

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?

    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.

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.

    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
