My Rival's Desire The Crash
Mila's POVI have a weakness for science…weakness I'll say, because I just could never ignore anything that science had to offer. Knowledge is power, but not when you are dead.Maybe I concluded too soon, but honestly, I know that I saw my life flash before my eyes just before everything went blank…completely blank!My head spun as though I were in an active tornado. I did not see this coming, but I knew what was coming…dead__more pain!'The driver!' A voice yelled in my head. I struggled to force my eyes open. They blinked, but the muscles around there were just too weak to function.'You have to stay awake Mila, get up!' I heard my mother's distant voice echo in the back of my head as though she were around, whispering.I pulled my body a little, even if my eyes could not open, adrenaline made me move my legs, they moved. I forced my eyes open, they finally did. I noticed that my head was downwards and my body….my body was held in place, thanks to the seat belt.My hold body was n

I was pulled like a rag and shoved behind a deserted car to take cover. I was about yelling at Flynn but I held my words when I saw the face in front of me."It is risky, Monsieur." The young office said to me."There's a lady in the car, I need to get her out of there before it explodes!" I yelled at him. I was not ready for all their safety protocol rubbish!"Just stay here, I'll go find her." The officer offered.I obeyed.He held his gun at trigger point, looked around him before rushing right in-between the crossfire. I tilted my body a little, so that I could spy what was going on, but without putting myself in harm's way…I'll gladly do it for Mila though.When Randy noticed the cop rushing towards the toppled Uber, he slowly closed up on the young man, covering for him."She is not here, Sir!" The cop yelled from the crash site. I could hear him clearly from where I stood."Damn it, Mila!" Where could you have gone?" I looked around, trying to access the vicinity, allowing myse

Two weeks passed."Anything?" Brant asked as soon as Randy walked in."Nothing Sir." Brantley drew in a deep breath."So what news do you bring?" "The hospital called, they have found a donor for Carol and it is a match. If you want the surgery to push through, your presence is needed for signing the necessary documents." Randy reported.Brant nodded. "Anything else?" "That's all. I'll be around if you need me." And with that, Randy took his leave.Brant twirled the pen in his hand, rotating it in-between his fingers.His strong jaw muscles were gradually disappearing behind his overgrown beard, making him look ten years older than his actual age.He looked up when the office door opened. It was his father."You still haven't opened the windows? It is dark and eerie here." Mr White complained."Hmm." "Your secretary hasn't come back from vacation?" Mr White asked.Brant's heart twisted in his chest, almost squeezing the life out of him. He kept his cool, "Yeah." He replied coldl

"Mr White? You came!" Carol called out joyfully in a weak voice when she saw Brant walk in."I told you that it is ok to call me Brantley right?" With a white rabbit stuffed toy in his hand, he leaned down and kissed the little girl on her forehead before handing her the rabbit."Thank you Brantley!" She hugged it."You hold that and know that you've always got a friend with you, ok?" He spoke softly to the fragile girl.Carol nodded."Hello Stacy." Brant greeted Stacy who had planted herself quietly at one corner in the room."Hello Mr White, Miss Rogers still isn't back from her trip?" "Not yet." He hesitated for a moment before replying.He could see the sadness on Carol's face. He'd told everyone who knew Phoebe Rogers that she'd gone on an impromptu business meeting out of the country.He'd told those who knew Fabiola that she'd gone for a family expedition…his father and the others in the company bought it.But this child….Carol. He knew just how much Phoebe meant to her and h

"How are we going to war if we don't know where our enemy lounges?" Carl asked after a few seconds of silence."Hmm, I know just where to find him. He is still a kid in business and probably still needs to take ghost lessons from me." Grandmaster stated in a deep voice.Carl's eyes bulged open."You..you.. know him?" Carlson stuttered.His father looked at him. "Come with me." He deliberately ignored Carl's question.They walked to the court yard where Dom had both men on their knees, brutally beaten and chained up like animals.Any ordinary person would puke at such an inhuman sight. The courtyard was filled with gunmen randomly stationed."We would send a message to the Glacier Cartel!" Grandmaster announced audibly.The whole yard was dead silent."At twilight, I want his head in a box!" Grandmaster stated, pointing at one of the hostages."Package it and send it as an express mail package!" He passed the final offer.Dominique nodded. He was the executionist. It was his job to ma

"Master, it is done!" At exactly twilight, an unfortunate lifeless head rolled on the floor, completely detached from the body."Good ! Have the express mail package delivered before midnight today."Dom bowed down and left.Grandmaster was standing in his study with his back to the door and his eyes focused on the huge portrait in front of him."I missed you, my flower." A dry smile spread out on his face."You'd probably object to what I am about to do right now, but I have to do it….for you and our baby." His voice cracked.With his fingers, he traced the outline of her smiling face gently. He'd paid a good fortune to have this portrait made, it looked so real and was an exact replica of Rose Vert, Grandmaster's wife. She had died bringing forth their second child to the world. Unfortunately, neither the mother nor the child survived.Grandmaster had raised both Mila and Carlson all by himself. Rose loved Mila as if she were her own daughter, she had been the one to name Mila

"Where are we heading to?" Mila asked when Brant took an odd turn."What do you think?" He shot a glance at her before returning his concentration to the road."We were supposed to head to the hospital." "Do you think Carol would love to wake up and see you in this state?" "What is wrong with me?" She took a moment to scrutinize herself from head to toe before looking at Brant, expecting him to expatiate more on his statement."You've still got a bandage around your arm like Lazarus, you literally look pale like a mummy…"Her eyes bulged open. His attention was on the road as he drove."... I lied to everyone that you were on vacation." He turned to gauge the petrified woman beside him."Who comes back from vacation looking like a by-chance survivor soldier from Afghanistan?" 'Did he just insult me….three times in a roll?' she asked herself mentally.'Nah! He is probably talking to someone else, perhaps on the phone or maybe there is a third person in this car but I just can't se

"Sir, he is not in the hospital." Carl was seated in his own study rounding off some office stuff. Work had been piling up lately since Mila disappeared. He'll spend most of his time during the day trying to dig into Mila's life.At night, he had to try as much as possible to catch up. It was tedious, but he had to do it all."What do you mean by he is not at the hospital?" Carlson roared over the phone."Sir, we did not see him when we went in.""How could you be so reckless! Find him goddamnit!" Carlson yelled and hung up.He scratched his head in frustration. ``Where could he have gone to?' Carlson thought. 'Perhaps he went to meet her!' "Find who?" Grandmaster's voice pulled him out of his deep thoughts."I'm still trying to locate Fabiola Pops." Carl said."I know, how is it going?" His father took a seat."Even though that boyfriend of hers looks haggard…""Did you just say boyfriend?" Pops cut in."... he's hell-bent on finding…." Carl paused when his father's question reso

THE END."What order, Mr Walborn?" The attorney went ahead to ask Mr Walborn."That Mr Rivers should be eliminated." Silence.Emille clenched his fist beside him.Even though Mr White only walked in, he was sitting on needles. He had his secrets, he knew what was going on. "We have the videos." One of the Court's IT workers announced.It was there, everything….from the squabble in the office to the phone call in the garage.Everyone gasped and turned to look at Mr White.Mrs White passed out.Brantley rushed to his mother.The twins held each other's hand tightly.Brenda leaned back in her chair.Mila's mind was teleported Somewhere else. Carl was bamboozled, he stayed motionless in his chair.Mama Rivers and Papa Rivers….well, there were no words to describe everything.……..All along, Mr White had been pulling the shots. He'd hired Mason based on Mason's greed.Mason had been working for him the entire time….he was the real Grandmaster.He found out about Mr Walborn being alive o

COURT TALES OF TRUTHFourteen minutes.It was almost time……"It is already time, your Honour, we should proceed." Grandmaster stood up and said.That was the advantage of representing yourself."We still have some more seconds, your Honour." The prosecution quickly added.The judge nodded. Grandmaster stood up to say something again, but his words were interrupted by the loud opening of the door.Everyone's attention was directed towards the door.One after another, all those who were against Grandmaster released breaths they never knew they were holding…surprisingly, even the judge.Disappointment was evident on Grandmaster's face.Dr Edgar accompanied Mr Walborn in the courtroom. Mila and Freya waited outside.When Brantley did not see Mila in the two-man procession, he immediately stood up on his feet and went outside."Which of these men is the supposed witness?" The judge asked even before Dr Edgar and Mr Walborn could reach the front of the courtroom.Dr Edgar indicated that i

THE CLOCK IS TICKING"Can the prosecution explain to the court why your said witness is not yet available?" The judge asked. She was getting impatient, it was evident."Technical transportation issues." The state lawyer responded.He leaned towards Emille and asked, "what is keeping your witness?" He asked in a whisper."What is holding him back is the only reason why they would not want him to testify, but don't bother, he's being escorted by one of the best bodyguards." Emille replied."Excuse me." Emille stepped out of the court to call for Mila.Brantley had arrived in the court too. He was worried, not that Mila could not take care of herself, but because he loved her, so it was natural for him to worry."What the hell is going on?" Emille asked in a concerned tone as soon as Mila answered."We got company." Mila replied."Do you need more refreshments?" Emille asked."I got it, I guess water would be enough to entertain them." Mila said over the phone."Good then, tell me where

THE AMBUSH.Randy rode in another car, tailing closely behind Mila.When she got to her condominium, she did not step out, rather she called Dr Edgar to bring Mr Walborn outside.Dr Edgar had personally selected a suit for Mr Walborn. The different clothes made him look 10 years younger."You look handsome, Mr Walborn." Mila smiled as she held the door open for him."Thank you, child. At least this doctor here has fine taste in quality clothes, only if he could put those skills to what I put in my stomach." Mr Walborn glared at Dr Edgar. Mila could not help but laugh."You look handsome too." She mouthed to Dr Edgar when Mr Walborn got into the car. Dr Edgar was dressed in a simple shirt and trousers, he had a clean shave. That alone made him look really different."Thank you. You look stunning yourself." Dr Edgar complimented back. Compliments were being poured at randa."Thank you for coming with us." Mila smiled at Dr Edgar."I have to do my job as a babysitter." Dr Edgar gave a sh

NAKED SLEEPOVERThe newly bonded family decided to spend the night together.Carl and Phelix were pals, they warmed everyone's heart, especially Mila because she never known that he was good with kids. She had no idea whether or not he loved kids, she did not even know what he loved.Pops had ruled their lives in such a way that all their likes were buried within them and only what he approved, that was what they did…to his face though.She allowed the cold water to run down her body. Everyone together, the smiles, the crying, the hugs, the laughter…this is what she'd ever wanted, not tension, the type of atmosphere she grew up being used to under Pop's roof.It was less than twenty four hours, and everything changed. For once in her life, she did not have to worry about tomorrow. Only if everyone she loved could be here…Only if Dom had lived to experience this different breeze…even just for a day."Fuck this life!" She cursed, turned off the shower, threw a bathrobe on her wet body.

BRENDA IS SCARYBrantley laid down on his bed, staring at the ceiling while he pondered about what Brenda told him earlier.Brenda was nosy, everyone knew that, but she wasn't a liar. She could be blunt sometimes, but the kid sure knew when to keep her mouth shut.She was smart too, probably more than all of them…well, except him, he had a photographic memory after all.He knew that she would not tell him all those things except something more was going on in that house. He had plans on saying hi to his mom before leaving, but he left without saying a word. He felt guilty, but he could not do otherwise.With the revelation, he wasn't sure to face anyone, especially his father.He needed time to think. He could not just jump into conclusions, he had to get more details about everything before concluding."She said that she was pushed, by who? Who would want to hurt you?" He pondered out loud.'Then why did she keep quiet only to say it now?' He thought."Who are you going to see in th

WHAT BRENDA KNOWS'Why do good men die and the selfish monsters live?' Brantley pondered as he walked down the corridors of his father's house empty mindedly."Do you want to bulldoze me before you notice that something is in front of you?" Brenda was starting in front of him, with her short self and crutches.He halted abruptly, for real, he had not taken note of the girl."Oh, I see you've upgraded to crutches. They're cute." Brantley rubbed her head like a kitten.She supported her weight on one crutch, freed her other hand and used it to slap his hand off."Why are you always fighting with father?" The youngest White asked.Bran was stunned, he did not expect that question from here. He was speechless for a few seconds, trying to think of an appropriate response to that."We were talking, maybe a little of a disagreement, but we were not fighting." Brantley looked down and said."You were loud!" She raised one side of her lip, confident about her statement and presumption."Wha

SWEET REUNION"Nice meeting you." Carl forced a smile.The expression on his grandparents' faces changed immediately.He sunkened his shoulders, 'Just as I had expected, outcast!' The words reverberated in his mind.He wished he could turn back the hand of time to just a 5 minutes ago, he'd make sure to get away from here and prevent none of this from happening."Mason had a son?" Papa Rivers looked at his wife. "Isn't he handsome? He looks like an angel." Mama Rivers praised.Carl raised his brows. 'Did they mean the opposite of what they said, or…he had judged the situation wrongly.He looked at Mila, she smiled at him."How old are you, boy?" Mama Rivers asked."I'm 28 years old, ma'am." Carl held his hands together in front of him as though he was for a religious procession.Mila raised her brows and hung her mouth open at his lie."Nonsense, don't call me ma'am. I am your grandmother. Come here!" Mama Rivers rebuked him and hugged him."Just for the record, he is still 27 years o

OUTCAST"Why do you want to see Fabiola?" Brantley decided to ask at one point. He just refilled their tea cups.Mama Rivers who was about raising her cup to take a sip, paused mid way. She stared at her husband who also had the same look on his face."Oh, we knew her when she was a kid. Since we were in town, we decided to drop by." Papa Rivers replied."Oh, ok. I see." Brantley nodded. There was an awkward silence among them."We'll see your father and enjoy the view a little before going back." Papa Rivers added."I will be glad to show you around town. I bet they'll be so much to entertain both of you." Brantley smiled."Yeah." And there goes the silence again. ________"I got a text from Brant, he said that the package was at my doorstep." Mila looked at her brothers. They were just touching down back in Limesville."Just as we thought." The ever nonchalantly Emille said.Carl was silent."I bet they got my address because of the media." Obviously."So…we are going to your hou
