Hours have passed since the announcement and he was the talk across the country, more especially in the city. At various Jacksons' companies too.Those who spoke ill about him, in his presence. Those who treated him poorly just because he looked like nobody wanted the world to crumble so they would disappear. Most of them wanted to go back to the previous evening, sleep, and wake up to something else in the news, articles, and the paparazzi outside. How gullible were they when a stranger like him carried himself well? Why didn’t they ever wonder why he was seen only once in a while? Why didn’t they worry about Mr. Roger and his son? Why didn’t they wonder how came he used the executive lift instead of the common one most of the time? The signs were there and they had been silly not to see them. One thing for sure was, if Milton hadn’t passed by in the morning and asked them to continue with their work as always, they would have been at the door begging him to forgive them. Finally
Milton smiled broadly at Rickie Colton. Anyone might think they were not immortal enemies but rather best friends who knew the favorite color of another.The paparazzi yelling his name wouldn’t stop him from showing that he and Rickie were on good terms. Of course, Milton knew what it did to Rickie. He was unraveling him in ways Rickie would love to jump at him and strangle the living hell out of him. Rickie and Colton had underestimated Milton and his capabilities, as such, they were regretting their decision at the moment. They wished they had taken another route to making Milton’s life hard. But how could they have known that Milton wouldn’t bulge? How could they have known pushing Milton’s buttons was like telling him to unclip his wings and fly freely? It has been a week since the attack since they took Bryson and Troy, and still, Milton hadn’t gone to them and begged for their mercy. And now, Rickie and his father were sure Milton didn’t care at all.Dickson wasn’t helpful e
“Thank you, Milton.” Said Natalie. Her voice came out a little bit sexier and cuter than she intended. Tiwari just shook his head. Milton smiled at her, “don’t mention it.” “You are so kind, Milton. I can’t start to appreciate how much you have been of help. My father is safe and so is me.” Natalie continued her gratitude. Tiwari looked at the door where Bryson had disappeared promising to return in a few. If Tiwari had stayed with them for more than ten minutes, he was going to crack or scream bloody murder. Tiwari was getting better at letting Milton take the wheel, and so far, he thought things were okay. He wasn’t mad Milton and Bryson sent someone to look after Natalie’s father. No. It was high time he let Milton fly and soar to the sky so he would reach his potential. He started wrongly, but he didn’t regret it. At least if asked, he would say he hasn’t sold him off. One thing remained constant, Tiwari wasn’t going to let Milton go anywhere alone. No. He was the only one
Now that they knew who he was, they retreated whenever they saw him. If it were Bryson Jackson, he would have laughed out loud, not caring how they acted toward him. But since it was Milton, he felt different. He didn’t want his employees to shudder at the sight of him. He wanted them to be free whenever they saw him. To bring up complaints whenever they had one. To ask anything since what Milton wanted the most was the company to know, here, they were a big family. And so, after explaining this to Bryson, Bryson couldn’t help but say, “you have a big heart.” Although it was only hours after the big revelation they were brothers, someone might think they knew this long ago. Perhaps it was a charade from Bryson, perhaps he indeed has let mother virtue show him a good way, either way, he didn’t plan on soiling Milton’s good wishes. And so, Bryson informed him he would help in whatever way Milton wanted. Throughout the day, Milton was busy in busy, but Aida didn’t disturb him even
“Thank you for your hard work.” Milton addressed the team and they bowed respectfully. When they rose to leave, some didn’t meet his eyes. Natalie stayed back and when all of them cleared the boardroom, she turned at Milton excitedly and congratulated him, “that was great. Oh, you are so wonderful.” His welcoming smile sent shivers down her spine, so she jumped at him and hugged him tightly. Milton of course didn’t reciprocate, he just sat there like a statue.When Natalie realized, she pulled away and cleared her throat, stood straight, and informed Milton she would call Mr. Genya straight away and inform him of what happened. “Don’t fret. Follow me to the office.” Milton said. He ignored Natalie’s eyes on him as they headed to his office. Inside the office, they found Aida and Brianna chatting. They left when Milton said, “I and Miss Natalie need a few.” They called Mr. Genya immediately and Natalie briefed him on what they have discussed. Since the construction at Kipindi Rura
“Why didn’t you take him to the doctor?” Milton asked, swiftly jumping over the sofa and into where Tiwari was holding a bleeding Troy. “Because the hospital is a no for us in this situation. Have we never spoken about this?” Tiwari snapped. “Okay. Easy there, I understand.” Milton said and looked around. When he didn’t see Bryson, he panicked. “Where are Bryson and Brianna?”“Shit!” Tiwari cussed and motioned for Lucinda to come and help Troy. “Tiwari, where is my cousin?” Milton asked, his mind already coming up with bad imaginations.“You mean brother?” Tiwari asked while removing his phone from his pocket. “This is not the time for games,” Milton answered, his eyes scanning the room as if Bryson might have entered and was hiding behind the seats. “He will be here. He went to pick the doctor.” Tiwari said and finished speaking with Bryson on the phone. “And Brianna?” Milton shouted. “Calm down, Brianna is…” “Brianna is here,” Brianna said from the door before Troy would repl
Seeing the pictures of Dickson, Milton Jackson didn’t know who to call a fool. Natalie who cheated on him with Dickson or Rickie who hit his brother and took a picture of his broken nose?The ambush, leading to some of his men killed and injured left Rickie Colton desperate.Unluckily, he didn’t think this through throughout. First of all, after he abducted Bryson, Milton didn’t run up and down and rescue him, it was Dickson who helped. And secondly, Milton wasn’t the one who attacked him and saved Troy.If this was a way of Rickie getting something out of Milton Jackson, he had it all wrong and if it were someone else thinking straight, they would have worked with their brother instead of using their brother hoping Milton would take bait. Aida cleared her throat, and Milton thanked her, “you did well, Aida. Thanks.” Miss Aida walked away but not before glancing between Milton and Natalie. She was interested in knowing what Natalie showed him, nonetheless, it wasn’t in her place t
*EARLIER*Tired of waiting for Milton and Natalie’s call about Dickson’s predicament, Rickie drove to Jackson Co. Hours later, he saw Milton leaving with Red Jones. He became angrier and contemplated leaving.But before he drove away, he received a call from his father telling him Milton has been declared as the second richest man in the city. Furious, he followed Milton and Red Jones to Shiny Bun Hotel. Whilst Milton and Red were eating, Rickie pondered ways to humiliate Milton Jackson. Rickie Colton couldn’t believe how lucky Milton was. News about Milton being the second richest man was the talk of every news channel. He just brought companies that were worth million dollars. Rickie fisted his hands angrily. How could he buy the companies and be on the news while he was at a middle-level hotel like Shiny Bun Hotel eating lunch as if the world meant little to him? What made everything worse for Rickie was when he heard what company Milton brought. The Genos Corporation. Oh.
