Michael Scofield Has Returned! Chapter 28: Lord Eric's Epistle--- Part 1
Lord Eric's tongue was loose with words, although his voice was engrossed in mumbling to keep the conversation as concealed as possible “I haven't used the Diamond-Grealish card, hence my fingerprint hasn't been embedded in it yet.”“The great family discord that erupted in the aftermath of my father's will had turned me and my brother into blood foes.”“He felt deeply cheated and believed the winery company and all therein should be his.”Lord Eric breathed out heavily while unleashing those words, followed by a snorty sigh.He clearly didn't like how everything turned sour in the family but wouldn't blame his father for choosing him as the ultimate heir.[Probably there was an underlying reason behind his decision]“It’s all yours now and yours alone.”“My guts never lie to me, and what it says is; “Give Michael Scofield the Diamond-Grealish card and embed his fingerprint in it.”A surge of emotions engulfed Lord Eric, in response, he swiftly embraced Michael while their heartbeats
Michael Scofield Has Returned! Chapter 29: Lord Eric's Epistle--- Part 2
***“My boy, please guide me on the stairs,” the somewhat tipsy Lord Eric uttered while staggering.Michael held his waist tight and did as he requested.From the Great Lord's disposition, it seemed like he hadn't had more than four shots of scotch in a long while.Michael managed to sip just two shots; his mind was engrossed in what the Great Lord would soon disclose to him.“Goodnight Great Lord! Goodnight Young Lord!” The elated household voiced out in almost unison.Miss Sheraton left the mini party about thirty minutes ago; she observed Michael seemed not to be in much of a mood for petty conversations, and asking him how he knew Stephanie would be wrong timing.“And here we go, please hold your feet strong while we head inside,” he whispered to the Great Lord, his breath gasping in anticipation.Eric managed to ambled towards the window and intentionally stared through it, his feet firm just like he was advised.Michael in the slightest moments, wondered why he chose to stand be
Michael Scofield Has Returned! Chapter 30: Augustine's House Of Commotion--- Part 1
“Miss?”“You had chromosomal abnormalities which led to the abrupt loss of the infant,” the same concerned voice mouthed, but his words were met with unresponsiveness.“For starters, I would prescribe misoprostol; 800 mcg vaginally, with a repeat dose in 48 hours if there are no further bleedings. One of the nurses would bring it along in twenty minutes during further checkups.”“The drug is a good regimen that would help you with your miscarriage against hormonal complications,” the doctor chipped in again before stepping out of the ward.The saddened subject flashed the doctor a dead stare when the word; ‘Miscarriage’ was mentioned.She couldn't believe the pregnancy she had pampered for weeks had been labeled; ‘A painful exit!’The ward was stormed in silence as two women folded their arms in shocked misfortune, trying to make sense of their brewing hard luck.The hospital door was forcefully pushed open which unveiled a sweaty masculine figure, with eyes profusely darting across t
Michael Scofield Has Returned! Chapter 31: Augustine's House Of Commotion--- Part 2
“Because I kept mute and allowed the media to paint me as the brand architect?”“Spare me those sanctimonious bull crap and shut the hell up!” She heightened, her left foot slammed against the floor; her rage had been let loose and might not have a remote button.“Are you innocent yourself? Silly girl! Coming from an idiot that committed adultery or have you suddenly forgotten what brought us here?!”[Hell was completely broken loose and the aftermath was at its worst.]Michelle, for a moment, withdrew her eyes in shame and, after a few moments, returned her gaze to her mother after a glimmer of ideas came alive.“Yes! I was also guilty of adultery. Luckily for me, my adult videotape wasn't the one that was leaked but yours!”BINGO!!!“I’m certain that half of the netizens in Manchester must have seen all of you!!!” She disdainfully mocked.Her words hit Catherine like a thunderbolt, and for a few moments, she swam back in sadness, her knees buckled in misery.“I consented to have an
Michael Scofield Has Returned! Chapter 32: The Invisible Wrath!!!
Michelle quickly arose and sat on the hospital's mattress, the subject’s facial expression reeked of epic downfall.She wiggled her brows on Barr. Frederick, who, in a swift response, shook his head, which showed how confused he was too.The brawl, which had lasted for almost thirty minutes had abruptly halted with all three faces flashing perplexed eye contact across the personnel behind the utterances.“Speak already. The suspense is killing us!!!”“Since the humiliation was dirtied on us, all we've known is bad news. What happened again?” Madam Catherine couldn't hold her chills, her tongue flexed with urgency.“You all assured me Mr. Magnus Phillips was trustworthy. What the hell just happened?” Marshall barked back in a menacing tone.Reflectively, Michelle arose with a thudding heartbeat as her waist couldn't afford to rest anymore.Madam Catherine held Barr. Frederick’s hands in gasping fear, she could perceive an ordeal from Marshall's words, as his countenance exuded bad news
Michael Scofield Has Returned! Chapter 33: Cole Meets Michael
“It’s fifteen minutes past eight. Sharon, you're late? Resuming work late on Monday morning? That's a bad start though.” “What happened? From the timekeeping record you always make it to work before 7:50 AM,” Michael calmly inquired, his face etched with ease. Her heart thumped in restlessness as she tried to hide her somewhat teary eyes. “I’m deeply sorry, supervisor. I promise it wasn't intentional.” He nodded for her to step into the production room as her words resonated with his thought, he believed something wrong could have happened to precipitate her lateness. He understood part of his job, which was ensuring the production staff were punctual to work and would report to Miss Sheraton if anyone chose to be defiant. He meticulously went through all the staff employment files during the weekend and decoded their names and faces— little wonder, he quickly grasped that her name was Sharon who happened to be one of the assistant production wine mixers. “Such a kind-hea
Michael Scofield Has Returned! Chapter 34: Oprah Meets Michael
“You gotta be joking right?” Stephanie mouthed with no iota of smile trapped on her face.On the other hand, Michael maintained his cool and smiled inwardly— he was beginning to love the adventure even more.Last week, on his first day in the office, he suspected Oprah Gracy but could not wrap his head around what she was, and suddenly, the narrative had swiftly changed. [Huh?]“Why didn't you tell me about another party involved?” she continually questioned with her words striking like an alarm without warnings.Michael patted her shoulder to chill out a little bit and have the young man explain himself.“Steph, I'm really sorry that I had to protect her identity at first. I needed to open up with someone in the company, and you were the better option, but at first, I couldn't completely trust you.”“I was afraid of the plan failing, if by any chance, you’d betrayed me, then Oprah Gracy’s identity would have still been hidden from the strategic moles with all eyes focused on me inste
Michael Scofield Has Returned! Chapter 35: “Do You Believe In Miracles?”
Oprah's cheeks wrapped with a smile; she observed the new freelance writer had really had his ears to the ground.Stephanie nodded intermittently at Michael's outstanding question; she also learned of Oprah's decision and wondered why she didn't sack the receptionists.Cole breathed out with ease, his face charmed in a beam, from his disposition— Michael suspected he already knew about his aunt’s partial decision.“Finally, It's time I gave a full response behind my decision.”“For over a month, Raymond and Cleopatra have been our key suspects as part of the disguised moles in the company. A couple of times Cole has caught them on surveillance trying to dodge the CCTV to make sneaky phone calls. People that do such have skeletons in their cupboards.”“Michael, you're a smart young man, one thing you have over us all— if you were in my shoes, would you sack or suspend them?” Oprah intelligently chipped in; her countenance oozed with cleverness.Michael, within moments, thought through

At midnight, Michael stood in the dark, his hands in his front pockets while waiting.In less than thirty seconds, footsteps echoed across as Jacob approached his direction, a thick manila folder wrapped in his hand.Jacob, his lawyer, didn't waste time at the midnight meeting.“It’s worse than we thought,” he got into words, handing over the file.“We carefully traced the leaks back to former employees; people who were loyal to Marshall. But this isn’t just about you.”Michael reactively flipped through the pages of the file. The deeper he read, the more intrigued he was to know what it was all about.“They’re surely coming after Lord Eric next,” he continued. “From all understanding Marshall and Gerald aren’t satisfied with just tarnishing your name. They want to dismantle everything Eric built.”Michael's lips laced with a scoff. “These guys never seem to amaze me”Jacob sighed before continuing. “Eric’s company is still a major player in the industry due to your significant input.

Her words rang a chord in his head. He knew those words had once been said by someone in the past.DONG!Yes! It was from his biological father; Oliver King.A hint of his words replayed in Michael's head on how they trained him to have whatever he requested and demanded.Marshall would always frown if he had been said no to because he thought and believed no one could.Michael escaped from his thoughts and focused back on her.“Where did you get from?” He asked, trying to play the pretense card.Christine swallowed in some saliva about to divulge some information she hadn't spoken about in years.“When the Boss gave Marshall the impression he'd become the heir of the company given the fact we believed he was the only offspring of the family.”“He used to come by to supervise the daily activities of the staff and how businesses were being operated. But…”Michael knitted his forehead, willing to know what the but was for.“Speak on. I'm all ears.”He urged her to unleash the cat from t
Chapter 205: Christine's Fears
Michael jotted from his thoughts with his eyes squinted while staring at the lady a few distance from him.Her countenance soured with visible concerns about the challenging moments.Tarnishing content broadcasted by the media with false transactions that never really occurred.A tool of deception so carefully crafted that, if left unchecked, it would be enough to destroy him and all he had built.The price of hard work, creativity, and success was all a smooth road path. It has been a rollercoaster for Michael since he officially became the COO/CEO of three booming industries The female staff all along was Christine who walked closer after he nodded his head to entertain what she had in mind.Her glances laced with frustration— she had wished for the newly appointed CEO to have an interrupted administration but the reality was a stark contrast.“Do sit down,” he calmly asked her while heading to his designated high table at the conference office.“Sir, I would prefer standing.”She

Michael softly smirked and tutted his lips. “A puppet CEO who supposedly embezzled millions?”He had heard the opinions of some media industries about him, and as expected, it didn't come out nicely.He didn't expect the media houses who were quick to run such headlines to have integrity and would easily be swayed to promote content that would incite controversies.The more they broadcast such notions, the more their chances of earning from public opinion expand.He remembered vividly during his trial for embezzling funds from Eric Cottage Winery Enterprise accounts. The same media expertise took it a life duty to broadcast the fabricated evidence.“Seemed so,” Claire chipped in. “It’s ridiculous that some media industries are pushing the narrative rapidly. Gosh!”Michael wasn't surprised about the rapid spread of those indicting news. Marshall wouldn't embark on such a war without having some media enterprises in his control.Hence, those designated media industries might have been i
Chapter 203: A Breach In The Walls
While Michael battled public unrest on the latest development--- a more harmful attack was looming within the company.That evening, Christine, the head of cybersecurity in Kingstown Golden Telecommunications, stepped into his office, her face wrapped with concern while she breathed urgently.Behind her was Malik, the financial advisor who had worked in the company for over six years, his demeanor etched with unease.“We have a problem, Sir,” she began first, placing a file on his desk. “Hmm… A big one.”Michael calmly flipped it open. Inside were detailed financial records; his own financial records, except they were manipulated with false transactions.The numbers painted an untrustworthy picture, making it appear as if he had been funneling company funds into personal offshore accounts.When he had just got out of the fabricated transactions in Eric Cottage Winery Enterprise. His foes swiftly attacked through his father's company.“They’ve been tampered with,” She continued, her vo

Each stare from Scarlett reeked of utmost confidence. He didn't have any doubt about her trust in him.Regardless of what the headlines would say about him— Scarlett, who hadn't known him for more than four months, seemed to be a staunch believer in his belief system.Little wonder, she visited the interrogation cell during his temporary detention.“The storm will definitely arise but it won't swallow you up. They're fighting you badly because you're better in every way.”“Brace yourself! You have done a lot for humanity, you have been a good example for the present and younger generations. Your integrity and value system have set a precedent for us to adhere to.”“You're our hero! The multi-talented Herbal Fortress! The business genius! There's nothing they'd pull off that we can't withstand!”Scarlett's words were concise and filled with life.She knew exactly what to say and didn't stutter in the process.Her eyes never left Michael's while spilling those thick, famous words that w
Chapter 201: The Storm Breaks
Two weeks after Marshall’s threatening text message, the looming threat that had been foreseen was finally showcased.It began subtly with whispers in the media about internal conflicts at Kingstown Golden Telecommunications.The bitter truth was Michael hadn't gotten a full grasp of the flow of activities in Kingstown Golden Telecommunications.He was still unlearning and relearning how the company functioned with the aid of his father, Scarlett, but it was a different ball game with Eric Cottage Winery Enterprise because he had always been a fan of great wine.Also while working as the inventory officer at Charleston Park Shopping--- still married to Michelle. He used to request Eric Cottage Wines for sales.It was more like a walk in the park for him. Also, the undercover job he did to expose the bad eggs in the winery company helped him to understand its structure. With the assistance of Stephanie, Sheraton, Oprah Gracy, Sharon, and Cole, the sky was just a starting point.However
Chapter 200: The Looming Strike
Michelle drew a slow breath, glancing nervously around. “He's planning something big. I overheard him talking to some of his allied, powerful, wealthy figures before he was arrested. He's looking for leverage; a way to bring you down.”Michael’s forehead knitted in thoughts. “Why are you telling me this?”Her voice remained steady “Because I have hurt you enough," she admitted quietly. “I made mistakes, but I don't want to see you destroyed. Despite everything, I… still care in some way.”For a moment, there was silence. Michael studied her emotions, facial expression, demeanor, and attitude— searching for deception, but found none.“Thank you for the warning,” he cautiously replied. “I hope you find the path you’re looking for.”Michelle chimed in a shaky smile and turned heading out until his voice halted her tracks.“Who are these unknown allied figures? I know they have been sponsoring this battle. What do they have to gain? Who are they?”Michael's words oozed with curiosity— in
