The Miller Sisters grew up wanting nothing because their grandfather moved to the United States in the 70's and started Miller Spare Parts and Co, which grew to become one of the biggest spare parts companies in the world. He was the third largest company selling spare parts to almost every business sector. Even though the company was building parts for cars, they eventually grew to building parts for phones, doors, and even sunglasses. Soon, Miller's Spare Parts and Co became the biggest company, and Grandpa Miller became a billionaire. Even with all the wealth, Grandpa Miller was very generous and supported so many charities and organisations but still managed to remain a mystery. One thing about The Miller's is that no one really knows who they are. This decision came from a terrible kidnapping situation that happened when the oldest Miller son, Owen, was kidnapped for ransom when he was just 6 years old. Grandpa quickly paid, but the kidnappers became greedy and kept asking for more. He became furious and threatened them with police force. In a sick retaliation, Grandpa received his sons head in the mail as a warning. Distraught by his loss, he moved the family back to Canada, quickly launched his IPO for the company, and hired his trusted friend to handle the rest of the business while he quickly went on a very early retirement. (He was only 40) The rest of the Miller's grew up well cared for, but Grandpa made sure they all had an education, but his second oldest son, Don Miller, made the decision to reclaim the company for the family again. Grandpa was against this choice for fear that they family would be in the public eye again and that would put a target on their back once more. Don had already had a plan laid out where he would run the company from the sidelines, but he won't do any public appearances and would always have someone else represent the company. The only people who know will be the board of directors, the current Ceo and Steve, Don's best friend from college. Begrudgingly, Grandpa agreed, and at 22 years old, Don moved back to the United States to run his family's company. Don takes the company to new heights while also building himself as a generous philanthropist. He built schools, funded scholarships, and started arts programmes in several schools across Canada and the United States and still managed to remain anonymous. Steve, his best friend, was made the face of the company and presented himself as the representative for Don Miller, so everyone knew who ran the company, but they didn't know what he looked like. Several magazines and articles would run stories speculating who he could be, whether he was married or had children Meanwhile, Don, at 27, had been married for 2 years to his high-school sweetheart Sophie and had just welcomed their first daughter, Parker Leslie Miller. She was a beautiful baby with dark brown hair and big brown eyes, and as the years progressed, Sophie had three more daughters, namely Jessie Maddie Miller, born with light coloured hair and soft blue eyes. Then there came Tyler Jane Parker, with a head of orange red hair and light green eyes and finally baby Jamie Park Miller born with brown curly hair and hazel brown eyes. Being anonymous was actually Don's plan all along even though he want to run the company, rasing his family from prying eyes was always his endgame and now that his girls were born he would do anything to take care of them. He reaches out to a private lawyer, one that is not affiliated with the company and draws up a will that can not be contested and should be given to his eldest daughter when she turns eighteen. Over the years, Don got weary of the business and his competitors seeing how low some of his colleagues would stoop to rise ahead because of that he became worried that something bad would happen to him and he wanted to make sure nothing would ruin the future of his beautiful girls. Ever since they were born, he has doted on them. Parker, being the first, he marvelled at her uncanny likeness to his mother. Her big eyes always seemed like they were looking right through you. He loved how inquisitive she was but still outspoken. She also took up being a big sister so well after Jessie was born. she was so excited for a baby sister that she moved her things to the nursery to sleep next to her baby sister. She ended up doing the exact same thing with her other sisters till they were all old enough for big girl rooms, but even then, they all slept in Parker's room because they felt safe with her. Jessie was very shy and always kept to herself, but she was never shy around her sisters. She loved playing with them and always had scold her younger sisters if they were being too rough. Tyler was more spunky and quirky, matching weird clothes together, and never taking no for an answer. Her sweet tooth reminded Don of his wife and her love for all things candy and chocolate. The two of them would constantly sneak ice cream at night while we slept, and it always made Don laugh. Finally, Jamie was born. the last of the Miller sister. She was the tiniest baby anyone ever saw, with a head full of curly brown hair she was the sweetest kid ever. Her curiosity and innocence were so cute, and she was the precious little darling that everyone always looked after. Don's family was complete, and he was enjoying every minute of it as his best friend handled the main parts of the company, but little did he know Steve harboured a secret jealousy of his friend. Even though he was enjoying wealth and high status for his role as Don's stand-in, he hated every second of it. He wanted the company as well, and he was going to get it one way or another. * * * Steve "Is it ready?" Steve said into his phone as he stepped off the private jet. He was in Tokyo to deliver a speech on behalf of Don for his new charity organisation to teach students in high school who are interested in technical skills to prepare them for the world outside. Steve never liked all this charity Don kept doing, giving away money when he could be running the country and making more money by working with the government. Steve brought his ideas to Don, and he basically told him there was no way in hell he was going to use his wealth to support corruption and greed and if that was what Steve wanted he could walk away from the company but Steve stayed on because this gravy train was going to be his one way or another. "Yes, everything's ready to go. Just say the word." The voice on the other line responded. "Excellent." Steve said. " Wait for my orders, and then you will be good to go." *click* The phone line cuts off as his car heads towards the hotel. Steve smiled to himself. All his plans were finally coming to fruition, and by this time tomorrow, his "best friend and his family will be dead, and he can finally set his plans for the company in motion. He admired the lights in the city as he reminisced about his friend, if only Don had known that the only reason he even got close to him was because he knew of The Miller's wealth and power and wanted to use him to get a spot in the company. His plan worked so well that Don embraced him as a brother and friend, eventually making him the face for Miller Spare Parts and Co, which was the biggest mistake Don could make. Steve had already started planning his takeover, planting in the idea that he would be a perfect replacement for Don since he was already well known. Some of them agreed which was enough to get himself in the door once Don was no more and in 24 hours he will have succeeded in stealing a huge dynasty which will now belong to him and his family.
