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.No one disturbed him for over three hours, he had given up about calling for help or even opening his eyes.How long has he been out? Where was his wife? How was
“The Jackson Co. and its subsidiaries have been there for a long time. We have been awarded so many times. The company has a perfect performance record. We have no issues with anyone. Be it the employees, the stakeholder, or, the partners.“We, the Jacksons aim at nothing but success. Be it partnership or investment, our company will benefit.” Milton finished and looked from one person to another.The men wore grey suits while the lady wore black pantsuits. They were looking at Milton with amazement and at the same time, they were surprised.The Glens normally have to ask the companies to invest in them, not the other way around. Although Milton’s company was the one going to give the Glens money, he acted as though they needed the Glens to survive.Yes, Milton does recall what his uncle told him, but something wasn’t adding up.He promised himself to ask after handing his uncle the signed contract. The Glens CEOs were assholes. And instead of thinking, “why are they going so low? Wh
“Troy, don’t forget that you are dispensable like everyone else. So, find a way of luring Reporter Jansen to that shelter not far from the Ever Café.” Brianna ordered, swerving her car around others as if it were some toys.“I apologize, ma’am, I…”“Let us not cross paths.”Hearing this, Troy was already running to the car with Findley beside him. They propelled into the City.Brianna’s threats were not empty. And Troy himself knew whatever she decided to do, he would approve it. After all, he was in charge of Milton’s guards and he had failed repeatedly.Not forgetting he kidnapped him and tortured Dickson in front of Young Master Milton.Troy and Gianna knew Brianna, or so they thought. Brianna had taught Gianna programming and trained Troy how to fight alongside Gianna.So, even if they were practically her proteges, sometimes someone’s favors run dry.As Brianna drove into the mansion’s compound, she was glad she didn’t bump into Troy.Samantha was inside her bedroom singing and d
“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. We will find who killed you, I promise.” These are the words she told herself every night before she fell asleep.To avoid the paparazzi, Brianna ordered Gianna to book the entire movie theatre. The questio
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.
The owner of the accessory shop was on his knees but didn’t look sorry at all. In fact, if it weren’t for Findley holding him, he would have jumped at Milton.Milton sat in the boss’ chair, glaring at the boss. His veins were bulging. He couldn’t believe that a few hours ago, he promised himself not to be cruel. The men like him were showing him the world was cruel and for survival, he wanted to be fierce too.How could they throw eggs at him even after he repeatedly asked them to stop so they could hear his side of the story? And where did they get the eggs from?He had beaten one of the guards who was at the corner whimpering like a baby.The other woman who pulled his nose was beside the boss, at least she looked sorry. Dominic and Erica were outside speaking to the employees so they would get to the bottom of it all.“I was mistreated the last time I was here, making me say I will buy this place. Did I return?” Milton finally spoke.“Aren’t you sitting right before me? Don’t be s
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. He was dropping by Milton’s company for the courtesy of telling him what he did while he was away. And really, did it matter? Did he care? He was surprised when he arrived and was informed there had been a fight. His heart leaped on his chest. Were the women going to be the undoing of Milton Jackson and not power? Or illness of jail because of corrupti
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
