"I don't need him to believe anything, I want him to know. I don't care what he thinks…it will not stop me." She whispered menacingly. A sinister smile spread out on her face.

It sent chills down everyone's spine.

Mila leaned back in her seat quietly. Her eyes hovered on everyone in the room, one after the other.

Mr White who sat beside her constantly turned his body slightly to steal a look at her, but he did not say anything. Nobody did.

Emille might have been through hell too, but unlike Mila, he'd known the truth for years…technically he'd known all along. But Mila had been lied to, deceived and manipulated all along. She needed time to process everything.

They sat there in silence for about 10 minutes, even troublesome Brantley knew better than to interrupt the moment. It was all about Mila tonight.

Exactly 25 mins later, Carlson pulled up. Freya led him in.

"You look damn badass tonight."

"Thank you." Freya smiled.

Carlson complimented Freya just before she closed the main door.

Today was not a day to write about.Carl did not fight back, neither did he say anything."Just tell me why!" She calmed herself down.

    There was a tug of war in her mind."Mila?" Carlson stooped down beside her. He placed his hands and rubbed her back tenderly as he whispered her name.Mils heard her name…the name she'd longed to hear, it was distant, but still loud enough to silence her thoughts.She slowly raised her head and stared at Carlson. His face was just inches away from hers."You called me Mila?" She asked in a soft whisper. Her heartbeat accelerated. It felt surreal. A faint smile spread out across her face."It is your name right? I have been longing to call you that." Carlson traced his fingers on her jaws as he confessed. He smiled warmly.She chuckled lightly. She chuckled some more. It felt like a dream. If it were a dream, then she definitely wants it to keep dreaming on till infinity and never wake up."I…you…yes, it was my name….it is no name! It is my name! ….Mila." She stuttered before finally settling on a response."Then own it! And silence those voices in your head. You are not alone again, o

    "Did you know who she was?" Mr White asked Brantley.Brantley knew that this question was gonna pop up one way or the other.He took a deep breath. "I did not find out in the best way either." Brantley confessed."What are you talking about?" Mr White furrowed his brows."She introduced herself by threatening to kill me…" Brantley confessed."I guess it's her signature way of introducing, then. She had a gun to my head…crazy huh?"Mr White chuckled dryly. "She had a knife to my throat…and balls…" Brantley rolled his eyes. It was an awkward encounter, how was he supposed to explain that to his father? "She got me beaten too." Brantley added, holding his head down.It was disgraceful that a woman whooped his assHe raised his head to see a mischievous grin on his father's face."What are you grinning for?" He asked his father."You let a girl beat you up?" Mr White chuckled provocatively. "Yes, the same girl that had a gun to your head and almost made you pee in your pants!" Brantley f

    "Hey, you are alive?" Frost said as soon as his brother opened the door."Oh hey, Freya, you are here too?" He looked behind Emille to see Freya."Com'on in." He ushered them in."How did it go? Both of you look horrible!" Frost added.He pulled Freya in a hug. There was never too much chemistry between both of them. One minute he'd be with her, the next, he's flirting with a random hot chick at the bar."You good?" Frost asked Freya. She nodded.Emille made himself comfortable on the couch."Get me an ice pack and something strong to drink." Emille requested."How about you, should I get you something strong too?" Frost turned to Freya. "No, just water. I need to pick phelix up." Freya said. Phelix was their son's name. She'd usually leave him at her friend's place whenever she had to be somewhere. She could not trust Gerald with the boy."Ok," Gerald went to the kitchen. Freya and Emille sat down quietly without saying anything to each other. They rarely spoke by the way.Frost ret

Brantley said.Mila jumped down from the bed in search of her phone.Brantley understood what she was looking for without her having to ask. He got down from bed, took the phone from the night stand___that she'd missed, and handed it to her.He sat back and watched her dial Carl's number nervously, tugging her hair behind her head repeatedly even when there were no loose strands."Hello! How is he?" Mila asked anxiously as soon as Carl picked up."He just got out." Carlson's voice echoed over the phone's speaker. His words sounded reserved. Mila immediately knew that it was not all that good news. The excitement that was about to shoot forward quickly died back down. "But…." She weaved her fingers through her hair as she paced from one end of the room to another. She could only pray that it was

    "I love you." He added. She opened her eyes and held his gaze."Then show me." She whispered back. Immediately the words escaped her mouth, she regretted saying it, causing her to blush. But the tingles in the pit of her tummy and the heat in-between her legs betrayed her.Brantley chuckled at her boldness. He loved it. It was the invitation he was waiting for…he had been longing for. He leaned in and captured her warm tender lips. She opened her mouth and welcomed him.He was in no rush___clearly ignoring the loud call of his hardness down there. He took his time and sucked her lips passionately, preying her mouth more open with his tongue as he led it to explore her mouth.Her hand that was resting on his back found its way around his neck.Mila melted in his arms. She wanted to get closer to him. She pressed her body against his, pulling him closer by his neck. It was the closest they could get, but she wanted more, they both wanted to get closer than this…they wanted their bodie

    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
