The picture of Natalie hugging Milton was displayed on the big screen inside the Coltons’ Home.“Dad, we are not the only one tailing Milton Jackson. Our IT guy ran a car’s number plate that has been following him for days and we learned it was one of the Genos.” Rickie reported.“What exactly are you trying to say?” Colton asked.“I think you are being paranoid. 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. Perhaps it was his fault that the Jacksons’ knew of their safe house.They didn’t have the time to start doubting each other. Not when the Jacksons’ plans were succeeding while theirs was failing.“Natalie is
“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. And he didn’t mind since Milton needed him. He didn’t care if he had to be his assistant or his business planner, what mattered was, Milton Jackson was flourishing.“It was not your fault that the woman ran away with the husband’s money. They had their issues prior, sir. Furthermore, why do you care? Aren’t you the
“We need to talk,” Milton said to Samantha.“I am tired,” Samantha answered, her nose scrunching up.Milton waited for Samantha for three days and now here she was claiming she was tired. How? He has given her whatever space although she didn’t ask. He hadn’t called her brother even after he called saying Samantha was coming and she didn’t show up.Knowing Meehan after reading his credential, he tasked him to handle the interns.Now, at the Warren Agency inside Simone’s office, he didn’t think about what Samantha was ponderingThey might have been married out of the blue, but were things not heavenly?After pushing and pushing, Samantha finally broke, “I don’t want you to dot me. To know where I am. To follow me. I want you to pull the details. Even my dead father didn’t send this many people.”Milton blinked rapidly, out of everything, he didn’t think this was the reason his wife would behave this way. He took her hands to his, and said, “I am sorry, my love. I have the guards too.
Milton looked back to the first day he met Brianna until now. His uncle had promised she would guide him but he hasn’t seen her too much. And really, he understood. Brianna was busy. Right?And there was his security. He knew a little bit about their lives. They were single. The only people he knew had family were the house managers, the butler, Roger’s driver, Lucinda, and Marielle had her lunatic daughter, Zelda.He had been busy and didn’t get a chance to ask the likes of Lucinda what they wanted to be when they were young and other things he would have found useful now.Milton was in a catch-22 situation, he would ask his cousin but the chances of him speaking were low. Neither could he ask Brianna nor Troy. What now?He tossed and turned that night. His wife felt his uneasiness but since he had replied to her badly earlier, she thought he needed time.In the middle of the night, Milton rose and called Easton. He was surprised to hear he wanted someone to spar with. He hasn’t be
Natalie had listened to Gabe and Milton’s conversation that day when Michelle left her office for the restroom. When she visited Dickson at the medical care, she informed him. Gabe realizing he has found someone who loved daunting Milton as himself, ruffled Milton’s hair and claimed, “boy, get a life. Don’t be dreaming here. Aim lower. Okay?”Natalie giggled.Milton walked away. But this time not embarrassed, but because he was fed up with their humiliation. Dickson couldn’t help but cuss himself, “Shit. I should have taken ‘em dollars. What is he up to anyways?”“Baby Milton can’t catch a break. Can he?” Findley spoke to the comms.“Someone tell me again, why am I not smacking the living life out of Natalie?” Erica said with venom in her tone. She, Michelle, and Samantha would love nothing but to cut Natalie’s cords and stepped on them.As the party continued, Milton stood alone. Watching people make friends. He was stuck where he was. What else would he do anyway? Whichever direc
The death of the warden was felt among the inmates. No. Not like they wailed. They were exhilarated. But not for Tiwari.Tiwari had purposedly forgotten to tell the warden that if he kept playing both teams, he would end up losing his life. But then again, the end game would have been the same if he had informed the warden that the Jacksons were not someone to play with.The disloyal warden was dead and the new one allowed the wrong scion and his father’s protégé to enter the prison with no issue.One way or another, Tiwari knew he had to move the files. But how could he do so when he didn’t have any friends in prison and had no family in the outside world who would help?For days, he felt like he was being watched and indeed he was. Brianna, Gianna, and Fae had the prison security system in their palms. They were watching his every move.Tiwari was a little disappointed about Brianna though. He didn’t think it would take them this long to get into the prison.Once in a while, he tho
Upon hearing Roger’s nephew had handled the contract negotiation with two of his companies, Mr. Glen took a liking to Milton Jackson. He couldn’t meet Milton at the party at his house and later on, had requested Roger to drop by with Milton.Milton pushed back his doubts on his uncle and Brianna, and let the happiness he felt be seen.They were to have breakfast since Roger was going to be busy later, Mr. Glen was to fly out of the country and Milton meeting the inspectors who had visited the flower farms prior plantation. Gabe had sent him an email in the middle of the night. And alas, he cared less about the fact that Milton owned a company and might have had something to on the meeting time.Luckily, Milton was glad it didn’t collide with anything crucial.Roger’s driver kept stealing glances at Milton. Making Milton squirm. After a third squirm, Roger stopped reading on the reports about investing in prison and asked, “are you okay, son?”“Yes. Yes. May I ask, did the employees
During dinner, Milton Jackson pretended everything was okay. But deep down, he wanted to slam the table and ask his family what they have been up to.Samantha’s left hand on top of his thigh would have been the trigger, but he pulled himself together. Bryson was chatting too much while Roger Jackson was sucking on the meat flesh as if it would give him life.Lucinda was watching them like a hawk.The other employees were just staring, thinking, “such a sweet happy unique family.” How lovely.After dessert was served, Roger asked Milton, “is the flower industry better than what we are doing?”Milton waved at him, hoping he didn’t look like an animated cartoon trying to save himself. “You know me, uncle. I am testing the waters.”Bryson leaned back, scooped his lemon ice cream, swallowed, and mentioned sarcastically, “don’t be a show-off.”Milton could swear he saw Samantha glaring at Bryson, but perhaps it was just his mind playing games at him.Samantha had been playing him all alon
