The Rise of the Jackson's Heir Chapter Seventeen
A video was playing in front. It was Milton. In the same outfit. Today. Scrolling on his phone as he wrote in the CAT sheet. He looked at his phone and then at the screen. How did that happen?Milton was confused. He didn’t recall using his phone during the exam. Hell, he hasn’t used it in days. With no friends and a lover, the phone has been the last thing on his mind. So, how did this happen? Why was he there? The video humiliating him as if he hadn’t been humiliated enough?From Rickie in the morning and now this, Milton knew whoever had his cards of life was drunk and half asleep while playing.The students streamed in and began throwing their pens at him, claiming it was time he paid for his sins. He looked back and for the first time, he wanted Troy and Gio to rush in and take him away.Too bad, they were nowhere to be found, and so were Dominic and Findley.Milton yelled, “I did not cheat. I don’t cheat.”“You are lying.” It was Natalie. She dabbed her finger on his forehead, a

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. At first, he was adamant because he couldn’t take the dead silence engulfing the mansion, but after reading the expulsion letter from the dean and the spiteful emails from some of the college students he knew it was for the better.And so, while his hands were recuperating, he was shown around the mansion by Zelda. It was so big and Milton knew h

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

The tension in the house was unpalatable. Anyone in the mansion could feel it. Roger Jackson ate his pancakes while scrolling his phone as if he was absent from the present.Lucinda returned with honey in a ceramic honey jar. This caught everyone’s attention. The three men stared at her, their eyes asking, “has anyone asked for honey?”“Young masters, master.” Lucinda began. Roger placed the table down, knowing very well whatever would come out of Lucinda’s mouth would be nothing but a stupid idea. “You should talk as a family. Make Milton feel at home.”The staff crumbled at the door with their ears on the door waiting to hear what the Jacksons will reply.“I have lost my appetite.” Bryson slapped a pancake on the table.“Bryson, don’t you dare move from that chair,” Roger ordered; his expression unreadable. He then addressed Luciana, “You may leave.”Luciana shrugged, “I tried.”Milton stared at Luciana until he couldn’t see her anymore. Brianna was the only employee who talked any

The attendees were big names in the country. From ministers to CEOs. Even people who were close to the president. Here, one handshake, two sentences to the other and you will walk home with a promise of getting a job. But not for Milton. He caught no one’s attention.He approached Brianna who has been watching him from the corner of the room, “they dismiss me before I mention my name.”“It is because you are not assertive,” Brianna replied, checking on an alert notification on her phone.“When is Roger coming?”“He will be here in a few. Bare in mind, he will be disappointed.”“It won’t be something new, no?”“Now that is the voice you should be using on them and not on me,” Brianna said, humor lingering in her tone.Milton didn’t know what she meant but since it was the first time in the day, she had acted informally to him, he didn’t question what she meant.As they waited for Roger to come, Brianna showed him the pictures of the people in the room and their roles in various gover

“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. The training had been for four weeks straight, and Milton promised them to continue if there was anyone who didn’t understand well. As they were approaching Red’s parents, Milton thought. “I should donate for free the next time.” No one knew how grateful he was. And the great lengths he would go to see everyone succeed. Things have been better. Since he told Bryson he was open to being included,

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

He was absent-minded most of the morning and luckily, he only had a meeting with Red Jones who called earlier on and said he would drop by.He was thankful Aida didn’t take any meetings because he wouldn’t concentrate on any of them.At the end of the day, Milton Jackson finally decided what to do. 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. Brianna hesitated at first, “I don’t think this is a good idea, sir.”“I don’t remember asking for your opinion. Brianna. Just drive.” “Okay. 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.

As if he didn’t belong.Dickson’s hand was around Natalie’s waist and he was smiling triumphantly, enjoying Milton’s predicament.

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? Please don’t tell me you want me to be a sucker like you because I won’t. Remember, you brought me into this and I am not lea

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.

“I will go on this ridiculous vacation on one condition,” Roger said, leaning backward.“Dad, I don’t think you have an option here,” Bryson stated, walking towards his father with calculated moves.Two hours later, Bryson, Tiwari, and Brianna realized Roger wasn’t going to change his mind. 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. Tiwari shook his head and said, “we will let Milton decide.” “This means we should let him know about the plan, right?” Bryson asked from behind.“Stop sneaking from behind,” Brianna whispe

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
