Milton 3rd Novels & Stories

His fingers curled around it…and lifted. The metal shifted against my hair, cool and solid, for a brief second, it caught in the strands, then it came free. The weight leaving felt heavier than it had ever felt resting there….s if something invisible had been torn away along with it. The night air touched the bare skin of my head, cool and unfamiliar. A murmur rippled through the crowd, not loud but enough to mark the moment. The triplets arrived together. Cyril at the center. Caleb on his right.

CAROLINE Maverick Thompson and I have been best friends since the day he kicked his soccer ball right into my face in third grade. I remember everything about that day. The way the ball hit me so hard my glasses flew off and shattered on the concrete. The blood pouring from my nose and how Maverick cried harder than I did, even though I was the one bleeding. We sat together in the nurse's office while she cleaned my face and called our parents. That's when we made the three rules.

"I have an event to attend aside from meeting with the king." "With whom?" "The third prince. What's his name again? Yes, Prince Nox." "No, you are not going anywhere. What did I tell you about speaking to strangers? Do you really want to get into trouble so bad?" Killian half-yelled. "You don't own me, neither does your master. Besides what kind of trouble can I into for having a picnic with the master's brother? They're siblings for goodness sake." She couldn't understand why they were being overprotective.

Chapter 13 Milton As the voice fell, Milton stepped forward imposingly. His stern look made Bessie's and Nora's skin crawl. They didn't dare move a bit. Seeing Milton up close, Harriet felt a tingling sensation in her nose. Except for Delbert, Milton treated her the best. Although he hadn't liked her at first because she had the intelligence of a six-year-old, after she married into the Carlson family, he had treated her like his granddaughter. But she had been blinded by Nora and Vernon, helping them steal Delbert's business document. It had caused the collapse of the Carlson Group that Milton had built, and Delbert had nearly ended up in jail.

Milton, on the other hand, was furious that she had visited the place she had wanted him to go with her but with someone else instead. It was as if she had told him that if he didn’t go with her, someone else would. “It’s our turn now,” Olivia said. “We should get our order.” Milton glanced at her, and they proceeded to get what they wanted. The place looked too shabby for Milton, but he held back because of Olivia, wanting to be sure that Charlotte and the man were a real couple. His lips curled into a grin. Luther probably didn’t know that he was being cuckolded. He had promised to be by Charlotte’s side until his hair turned gray.

"Y-Yeah... why?" "Maybe there are clues in the notes. Is it still with you?" "I threw it away," she said, then switched the T.V. channel. She doesn't like late night shows anymore. More dramas and nonsense shows. "Oh," her friend said regretfully. "Keep the notes next time. You know... maybe one of these days he might introduce himself in a note." "His name is Third. That's always on the note, eh." "So, do you know anyone who has the same name?"

Amory nods in my lap, but still hasn’t looked away from her shoe! I’m shocked when she doesn’t attempt to move out of my lap either, and even dances along to Gabe and Mikey performing to some metal rock song I’ve never heard but clearly, she has since she knows all the lyrics. When the club has been shut down for the night and just the three of us are present Spin barks out, “you two start talking”! “What do you want us to say, Spin?” I ask him. I’m still not telling you what goes on behind closed doors, what the fuck do you want us to tell you?!

Nora had sent me a sixty-second voice message. I tried the transcript feature. It produced almost nothing except a few breathy sounds, then one final sentence: "Elara, hang in there a little longer. Grant is almost finished." I replied, "No rush." Then I said to Madison, "I got married." She went silent. "What?" "He is a good man," I said. "When you are back, I will introduce you." Grant's friends laughed nervously. "Elara, come on." "Everyone knows about you and Grant. He does care about you."

Ariadne’s eyes were glazed over until a familiar name caught her attention. "Milton Group..." Her heart skipped a beat as she straightened in her seat, gripping the remote tighter. The screen cut to footage of the Milton Group's towering headquarters, followed by an image of Gideon Milton, standing confidently behind a podium. The anchor’s voice continued, clear and unyielding:

I appreciated their likenesses, and their differences, each one of them part of three, yet also an incredible person their own right. Thane, broody and authoritative, always saying far more with his actions than his words. Cole, fiercely protective, yet easily the most mischievous of the three. And Finn, playful and sensitive, and always the first to sense something I needed. They perfectly balanced each other, and me, in their own unique ways. My perfect three mates.
