The Rise of the Jackson's Heir Chapter Twenty-Six
He swallowed the painkiller for the second time in the day then slapped his phone down after reading a message from Dominic saying, “sir, you need to relax. Rest for a minute.”How could he rest when he was working the work of thirty people? To make it worse, he wasn’t familiar with the software he was using.The road down to freedom was long forgotten. He was slaving away in the name of proving to his uncle that he was more than a poor man who many knew as a cleaner and a thief.Unfortunately, the longer Milton worked, the longer he messed up. Making the manager to scream at him. Embarrass him. Now, Milton was drowing in self-doubts and pity.The group he was sharing the office with returned half an hour past one. They knew how to keep time and Milton wished they knew how to do their work as well.“Hello. Do you mind finishing this for me?” Milton asked Sarai, the lady seating on the desk beside him.“Close your damn mouth.” Sarai snapped.Milton shook his head with disappointment, h

Rickie had a triumphant smirk. He and his father were two steps closer to getting what they wanted from Milton, the true heir of the Jacksons.“Hey, Millie.” He greeted him sadistically.Dominic pushed Milton aside. Findley went to Rickie, their faces almost touching. He warned, “didn’t Troy warn you?”“Where is he by the way?”“Findley, let us go,” Milton ordered from the car.“Yes, young master,” Findley replied, his eyes sending daggers at Rickie who seemed unaffected by Findley and whatever warning Troy did the last time they met.“Sir, everyone is in position. We will bring him to you.” Rickie reported.“Good. Make sure his bodyguards don’t notice it is you.” The voice ordered.Rickie sent an alert to the men he was working with. They were as trained as the men with Milton. How hard would it be to fight three men anyways?“Darling, you were so sweet and warm.” Rickie held his breath. “Did you see his face?” A lady said. “Yes. He won’t dare come near you again. Never. You are m

Gianna was busy tracing his steps. She had to report on him before the end of the business hours. It wasn’t a walk in the park since he was a trained ex-soldier. He knew where to look. Where to hide. Where the dark spots were.Nevertheless, Gianna, Brianna’s protégé, loved every minute of it. It was a wonderful game of mouse vs mouse. Perfect.A knock startled her. Her eyes fell on Fae. A 22-year-old lady with exquisite taste in computers. “Who might it be?” She contemplated. Just like Brianna, Gianna didn’t receive visitors. Luckily, she and Fae were determined to keep it that way. “Do you need me to?” Fae asked. The sound of her keyboard was loud and fast. A beautiful melody to Gianna’s ears. “No. I will do it.” Gianna said and left the dark computer room. “Brianna,” Gianna mumbled as she stared at the video on the tablet. She stared at her watch, thinking she might have lost track of time and it was already late. It was still early. Light streamed into the office. It was breat

“Don’t disappoint me, Milton Jackson.” His uncle said. “I won't, uncle,” Milton replied, dabbing a towel on his lips. Ignoring Bryson who was throwing shades at him. He continued, “I will return with fruitful results, sir.” His uncle nodded encouragingly. “I apologize for not visiting as promised.” “I understand. You are a busy man.” Roger Jackson said nonchalantly. He was waiting for Milton to broach the subject of firing the manager of J & M Fitness Centre. Perhaps he hear pride as he said it. Perhaps he hoped he had left his haven and was expanding his horizon, becoming the man Brianna warned him about. “Dad, why don’t you ask about me?” Bryson asked. Milton scoffed. “Eat.” Roger Jackson shoved a piece of banana cake to Bryson. Milton laughed. Lucinda handed him another towel and pointed it at the side of his mouth. Milton and Roger Jackson discussed the assignment he was sending him to. Milton was excited that unlike everyone else who thought he knew nothing, his uncl

“Solana, help me out, will you?” Milton asked, the neediness in his tone clear.Solana huffed, and pushed Meehan with her shoulder, “you must be insane.” Meehan said and returned to drink his cold latte. He swallowed with disgust, “now it has become cold. Damn it. You do your work and leave us be in peace.”Milton’s nose flared in anger. “The task was meant for three…”He didn’t get to finish as Solana pushed the cooperate card to him and said, “bring us another latte. This is cold.”“It was supposed to be cold. That is why you said, iced latte. Didn’t you?” Milton fired.“Then the ice has melted,” Meehan said proudly, as if he has spoken a cure medicine’s name.Milton slapped the papers on the round table angrily and tapped Solana, “why don’t you go bring them yourself, I am…”Before he finished the sentence, Dominic barged through the boardroom. “Excuse me, you are needed by the manager.”“That was close.” Milton thought and followed Dominic outside.Outside, he inhaled the breeze.

They were back in the same room he left because he thought his ideas weren’t ‘great.’ Roger Jackson controlled his urge to ask him why he was hesitating. Perhaps it was because he was here for a reason at this specific time. Perhaps he wanted to see his potential. Or maybe, he wanted to see if he learned from the failure before.Milton cleared his throat again. “Take your time, Milton.” His uncle advised.“Thank you, sir,” Milton replied.This motivated him.The visit to Milton’s old place, The Easts, provided the necessary information regarding the redevelopment plans. Milton went further and told his uncle he wished he had been there to see everyone’s well-being was catered better. Some of the grievances he heard were that some residents hated where they relocated to. His uncle replied, “I see. You can return with Aida and let them tell you where they want. You can give them your penthouse, yeah?” Milton was taken aback. Roger chuckled, “I was joking. Of course, ask them what

“Young master. This was made only for you.” Zelda said, straightening Milton’s coat.“Thank you, Zelda.” Milton turned around and stared at his clean and sharp two-piece suit. He looked dapper.On their way to the investing dinner party, Aida informed him what to expect without forgetting to remind him of his sole purpose of attending the party today. “The project manager is close to the CEO. Make sure to get on his good side. He is a prick sometimes.” Aida finished, folded the files, and handed them to Milton.He skimmed through and once he finished, he asked necessary questions he thought would come in handy.As much as he wanted to address his confusion, Milton couldn’t. There was a reason Aida’s answers were vague.Milton with Aida approached the bodyguard, he asked their names. The bodyguard was rude because after finding Milton’s name, he dismissed Milton. He didn’t even want to listen to Aida. Brianna came to their rescue and at the sight of her, the bodyguard moved away while

For some reason, everyone was quiet today. Neither Meehan nor Sarai talked rudely to him. And since it was high time he had that quietness, Milton didn’t question them. As Milton was busy daydreaming about the gorgeous lady she met at the Ever Coffee Shop, Meehan waved in front of him. “Milton, can I have a minute?” “Sure.” “I hope he won’t grill me on why I was at the party.” Milton thought as he followed outside. They entered a lift and Meehan didn’t push any buttons. “Please,” Milton begged mentally. Meehan studied him for what felt like an eternity, he was fighting the urge to ask him a million questions. He came to a consensus and shrugged. He punched the button and looked away. The lift stopped. Dominic was waiting for him. “Thank you, Meehan.” “No problem, Dominic. See you, Milton.” “What was that?” Milton asked. Before Dominic answered, Aida came to view, “Young master, my apologies for calling you out of the blue.” “No problem. Is everything okay with my uncle?”“Yes

“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,

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.

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?

“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

Since Milton and Meehan’s lunch didn’t happen last time, they figured it would be better to do it today and Aida was more than welcome. 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
