The pungent smell of the hospital irritated his nose. Doctors and nurses minded their business. A man dressed in a hospital guard uniform was staring at him with looks that could kill.For half an hour, he cried helplessly for help. Eventually realizing they were serious about not treating him, he embraced the pain and was waiting patiently for the authority to arrive, hopefully in prison, they would give him some painkillers.Groaning in pain, he whispered, “where are you, Brianna?”*Brianna was speaking to the dean. He was on his knees, trembling, his eyes avoiding Brianna’s. Brianna threatened to sue him and the college if he didn’t unravel what happened.The dean implored, “yes, ma’am. We will.”“We?” She fired.“So..rry, Ma’am. I.” He stuttered. Brianna clutched her phone tighter and touched her ear when she heard Troy speaking, “I am outside.”They were a few meters from the college’s gate. Brianna noticed Milton wasn’t with them and panicked. She didn’t show them and asked ca

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.

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

“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.

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.

Milton entrusted Tiwari to handle the whole situation and put it to complete rest, forever.

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.

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.

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?

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?

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.

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.

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
