All Chapters of My Rival's Desire: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

"Ok, I'm all ears. What kind of investment are we talking about?" Linda asked attentively."Casino." "What? Casino?" Linda asked in utter bamboozlement. "Hold up, which among the two of them sort to buy or build a casino or invest in a casino.... Whatever?" Linda leaned forward."Uncle Melo. He wanted to buy a particular piece of land and erect a Casino?" Linda shook her head. "I don't get how this connects us to anything, or how it might be related to his death. I see why the cops slashed it out. But what I want to know is; why would a man like Uncle Melo want a Casino. He could build anything he wished, a hospital…even a church. But why a casino?" Linda asked."Those are questions nobody thought of asking.""Let me guess, your Father was not d'accord with the idea?" "Yes, that is what Mr McGraw said in his statement. My father argued that a Casino was not a bad idea to generate money, but it did not just suit their reputation." Brant explained."But what was more interesting was t

Linda took a sip from her glass."Painite is formed by the combination of two elements that would naturally not occur together in nature, Boron and Zirconium. That's what makes it rare. But having it being discovered in this part of the world, is almost an impossibility because we barely have rocks here, especially in Limesville."Linda listened attentively."So I think that chemical depositions from the laboratory years back, could have provoked the strange occurrence of the two unrelatable elements." "I can not believe that all that chemistry in school is really coming in handy right now, I do not even remember which group of the periodic table Boron falls under." Linda complained.Brant chuckled, "do not beat yourself up about it, I am here to remember for you. All these details are just for us to get into uncle Melo's mind. I think he might have figured all this out too." "How was he planning to extract it?" Linda asked."It can be mined using seismic charge launchers or mining l

"Son of a bitch! So it was you?" Mila cursed.She hurried home immediately after having dinner with Pops and Carlson. There wasn't anything suspicious about either of them but she just could not eat with a short spoon¹ around Carl.She was eager to get home and listen to what Linda, Randolph and Brantley were talking about at length, in Brantley's office.She picked the shock of her life time with all the revelations and the information she got from the three."Why are both of you looking into my family's affairs?" She asked no one in particular, with a light frown on her face.She decided to spend the night in her apartment, afterall, Brantley was the one who reconstructed her house. She just could not trust him to be stupid enough not to plant eyes and ears in the bungalow. She had to take extra precautions.She walked to the kitchen when the toaster beeped. She placed the ready toast on a plate and walked back to her lone couch to continue watching the video.That night, she could

"You categorically refused me from visiting these angels, how do you feel about that?" Brant verbally attacked Mila as they drove back to the office."What the hell are you talking about? Aren't we just from the orphanage?" Mila furrowed her brows in confusion."On Sunday, remember? If I did not show up this morning and if Carol did not fall ill, then…" "What is the big deal in it by the way?" Mila just could not comprehend his level of pettiness."The big deal is that I want to know more about you." "I told you, the more you know about me, that is the closer you get to your grave." She said coldly."I am capable of taking good care of myself, and I can protect you too." "You cannot protect me!" "Ev…" he started."Just, cut it already, ok? It's pointless going back and forth with you about the same damn topic." She cut in."Jeez! you are always gloomy!" He murmured, but she caught it.She lightly punched his tummy. "I'm not gloomy!""Ouch!" He held his stomach with one hand while

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
