The Rise of the Jackson's Heir Chapter Twenty-Two
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

“I had my reason, Milton.” Roger Jackson repeated.“Tell me what it is. Tell me why I had to be humiliated like that. Tell me why you thought it is okay for everyone to know the changes and I didn’t. Tell me why.” Milton screamed.This was the first time Milton was expressing his anger. And boy, how good it felt. Rarely did Milton get angry. “I did not sign up for this. I asked you for nothing. I never told you I wanted a company or a hotel. Oh, or the fucking name, ‘young master’.” Milton kicked the table. The veins in his forehead were popping. His lips were trembling.“Milton, you need to calm down,” Brianna spoke for the first time.“You. Get out!” Milton pointed at the door.Brianna rose to hold him.Brianna was skeptical when it came to Roger and his actions toward his family. He might be lenient, sitting here, letting Milton run his mouth, but that didn’t mean he would be quiet forever. Every man had their boiling point and Brianna didn’t want Milton to be on the receiving end

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

Lucinda had gotten better and with physical therapy, she would get better.

“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. And there it was, Natalie, shaming the living life out of Milton. Milton looked devastated. 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. Milton carried himself with utter respect.Those signs had been clear. For Milton, he needed a crying shoulder. And she was the perfect person for that because once upon a time, they spoke of their dreams and vision. Things changed, big time. Her dream came through. What about his? Theirs?

“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
