My Rival's Desire CHAPTER 167
I'LL BE BACKThe next morning, reality sunk in. Mrs White insisted on meeting Mila…Fabiola.Brantley, who had decided to spend the night with his parents, had to convince his mother that Mila was not ready for that. "She still needs time to get ready to face everyone. She's been living in the shadows for years, it'll be tough just coming out to the light abruptly. Please, just continue treating her as Fabiola until she is ready to tell everyone who she really is." Brantley had explained.After some moments of deep contemplation, his mother had finally agreed to lay low and suppress her anxiety.Meanwhile, the revelation last night saved the twins' asses from being ejected and pulled back home because they failed to tug their sister in bed last night.Speaking of the twins…they were grounded when they returned._______At Carl's condoMila was an early riser. She woke up pretty early and left the condo for the couple. Charlotte spent the night with Carl. It was only fair to give them t

CASE AGAINST GRANDMASTERJust as she stepped foot in her bungalow, her phone rang. It was Emille."Hey." She answered shallowly. It was still surreal having a grown ass brother. She still had no idea on how to behave around him, given the fact that she beat his face. It took more than a couple of days for most of the swellings to subside."How was your night?" He asked in a deep masculine voice. Somehow, she could hear her father's voice in the way Emille spoke…or maybe it was just her psychology messing with her."It was great, it was great." She went ahead to draw the curtains and let in some fresh air. It's been weeks since she stepped foot here."Did I wake you up?" Emille asked. It was clear that he too did not know how to act or talk to her. He was always careful with his words…only to her though."Come Emille, it is 11 am, I have been up since 4 am. Who sleeps at this time?" She went to her bedroom."Well, I know a lot of people. I just wanted to make sure that you are not o

MONTY MEETS EMILLEThe door bell rang.Emille answered the door in his bathrobe. He was fumbling, trying to tie the robe's ribbon rope around his waist."Jeez, you called barely fifteen minutes ago." He had to rush out of the shower. His hair was still dripping, leaving a trial of droplets of water behind him."Yep, we were around the corner." Mila replied, she was sucking a red lollipop."We?" Emille looked behind her searching for the other person, but there was no one."Yes we, nevermind, won't you let me in? First time coming to my brother's house and I get blocked at the door!" Mila squinted her eyes at him. Her words were taunting, aiming to guilt trip him….it worked.Emille quickly stepped away from the door to let her in.He was still trying to find the person that ought to represent 'we'."I can not believe that with all the money and power that you will, you would decide to settle here…here of all places." Mila scanned the house. It was a small two bedroom house in a nei

HE KILLED HER!It was over five weeks since the Grandmaster's trial was set, hence the hearing had been going on for three weeks now.It was the case of the century. Every News outlet wanted to cover it. From the first day of the hearing, it was quite a hurdle for the Court's security to keep the multitude away. A lot of people opted to testify against him. Emille did not bother about searching for witnesses, or convincing people to tell their story. They willingly presented themselves to the police and pledged to testify.None of the Rivers had testified as of yet, nor had Mr Walborn.Today, Carl was to take the stand. But as agreed, only the jury were to be present in the courtroom.Emille, Mila, and Brantley were present at today's hearing. Linda came to support her friends, Brantley and Mila.Mila was not yet aware that Mrs White knew that she was Mila. As per Brantley's request, she still addressed Mila as Fabiola.Everyone was seated in the courtroom. There was a swan of reporte

********TRIGGER WARNING******The Events that follow might be disturbing. You can choose not to read it, it would not change the sense of the story.Read at your own Discretion!!!*********Pops sat upright on his narrow bunk bed in his tiny cell, for the first time in years, he actually regretted doing something.It had been easier carrying the guilt of killing Rose all these years because he knew that no one knew about his secret…. probably his darkest secret.Never in a million years would he have thought that the one person on the planet who knew was his son.He remembered the day so well. Everything was still fresh in his memory.Rose went into labour in the early hours of the morning. She wanted a hospital birth, but he had insisted that the baby be born at home, why? Because there was price on his head. A security camera had spotted him in a gun exchange battle. Even though his face could not be identified, it was clearly seen on camera how he took a bullet to his right leg. H

MILA RIVER LIVESShe did not wait for Emille and Carl, she made her own calls. The news needed to dissolve as soon as possible. Her face was everywhere, this was not good. She called the Mise brothers and dispatched them to immediately make the news disappear."Brant, good morning, sorry to wake you up." She called for Brantley next. "I'm a morning person, remember?" He said warmly. "How are you too?" She did not stop pacing. There was no time for pleasantries, "Check the news, put on your TV!" He could hear the anxiousness in her voice. He did as he was told without."Oh my God! How did this happen?" "I don't know, and I don't care. I want the news dead immediately. Do everything you can please!" Mila, for the first time, was actually desperate."I'm on it." They hung up. He immediately called Randy.Mila continued to make calls, mostly as Phoebe Rogers. "Only if Dom were alive? Why did you have to go?" She sat down and wept.He could handle the situation in the blink of an eye

Senator Sauvebeaux"He is suing the government." Brantley added."What? I was just saying it, I only meant for him to threaten them and not actually do it!" Mila looked in horror. She already had been receiving more attention than she craved. She did not want it to aggravate."Let's talk with him. They are waiting for you." "They who?" Mila was confused. "Come, you will see." He went to her room and got an oversize overall and threw it over her head to cover her visage.Emille hovered directly in front of her house. He lowered a little stand for one person, held together by two ropes on either side like a swing.Brantley helped her get on it. The rope was drawn up.The reporters did not stop trying to click pictures.She was still in her PJs.Brantley drove away in his car._______"Carl, what is going on?" She ran into Carl's arms when she saw him.Emille had dropped her and flown off.She knew this place, it was the Senate."We are going to fix things, it's gonna be ok? I'm s

THE OLD COUPLEThe chief of police issued the statement.Carl filed a case against the state. He was promised that the matter would be investigated thoroughly.The trial was put on hold because of Pop's hospitalization.Despite the police's pledge in finding out how that type of information got out there, the Rivers cousins were still looking into the matter individually.Two weeks passed, Mila was yet to show up at the company….rather Phoebe Rogers. She was the biggest shareholder and she presented herself and later disappeared.A few days ago, Brantley brought up the idea again. The board members were requesting her presence. "I'll talk to my brothers, we should have dinner with your family first, then my grandparents have to know too." "Are you ready?" Brantley asked. She traced her fingers on his bare chest, drawing an imaginary horse__for reasons unknown, "I'll never be read, Brant. But the longer I wait, the more difficult it becomes and the more anxious I get." She raised he
