A MARRIAGE OF CONVENIENCE: MARRIED TO MY ENEMY Chapter 101
~ CharlesJapan had been oddly cold today, but I still couldn’t escape my duties. I had to meet my business partner. I was invited to the man’s main house for lunch, a traditional house that maintained the heritage of ancient Japanese houses, which I considered very beautiful.The one person I knew would appreciate it more was Megan, but I didn’t dare bring her here, not with the tension between us. Moreover, she would refuse my invitation even if I asked.Since I traveled, we have spoken only once, and that was the day I arrived in Italy. I remembered vividly how that conversation went, and to this date, I still regretted letting it end that way…That day, I was feeling jetlagged, but I took Megan’s video call.“Hey, handsome, how was your trip?” She asked with a smile.I wished her excitement was contagious, but it wasn’t. I wasn’t moved by it; I only felt my heart stir up a bit, which made me uncomfortable. “Tiring,” I answered her nonchalantly.“That’s normal; you should rest,” sh

~ CharlesSurprisingly, Megan was the one who welcomed me at the airport. There were a lot of reporters, and she shamelessly hugged and kissed my lips, much to my surprise, but I responded quickly by twirling her during the kiss.The sound of increased camera clicking made me know we would make the headlines today, and since it was for good, I didn’t mind.In the car, however, the Megan I met out there became a totally different person. She brought out a wet wipe and wiped her face of whatever DNA got on it from our kiss, then she brought out her ear pods and blocked out whatever sounds I was going to make in the future.I watched her in awe, noticing the changes she made while I was away. Her hair was still blonde but with darker roots, as if she was letting it return to its original color naturally.Her skin was radiating like milk, and she looked healthy, but I could feel that something about her had changed. Something I couldn’t place my fingers on.The only time she spoke to me w

~ Charles“I don’t mean to brag, but my daughter-in-law and son promised me a grandchild before the end of the year,” my father announced.I immediately shot my head to Megan, who had an equally shocked expression on her face. She clearly had nothing to do with this.I groaned internally, feeling frustrated by my father’s pressure. Suddenly Megan and I became the center of attention; some family members even dared to congratulate us, while the rest looked at us with eyes filled with envy.After the dinner, I confronted my father. “What was that about, Dad?”“I was securing your position permanently,” he replied.“Maybe you don’t know this, but Megan and I are not a real couple!” I said, running my hands through my hair. “Why do you have to drive me mad the same day I returned? Can’t I have a moment of rest with you?”“You must think I am a fool for assuming I don’t know that your relationship with Megan is flagged by default.” My father sipped his favorite Arabian tea. “I already had t

~ Megan“I want you to invite home your lover, Max, or whatever he is called,” Charles said, his expression serious.“Why?” I asked the burning question on my mind.“Because I don’t trust easily,” he replied, not explaining further.“I trust Massimo; that should be enough,” I argued.“Don’t be stubborn, Megan; I just want to be sure that you have settled with the right person,” Charles drawled.“Hold on, Charles, are you jealous or something?” I asked, grinning at him for the first time in a while.Charles returned the grin, crossing his legs. “I was just wondering the kind of man that made you forget me so quickly.”My smile quaked. Charles was truly a narcissist, as Massimo had speculated. I was almost one hundred percent sure that he didn’t love me, but he became concerned when I began to show signs of moving on from him, but continuing this façade was important, and I was advised not to let him know right away.There was nothing between Massimo and me. The whole idea was actually

~ MeganMy excitement bubbled over into the next day, but when I saw Charles in the morning, everything crumbled.“Megan…” His lips trembled. “Janette is dead.”My eyes widened. “How did it happen? What happened?”Charles shook his head, sobs racking his body. “The doctor said she had a complication from an infection she contracted while she was in a coma. It killed her, Megan. I feel responsible.”The news hit me like a sledgehammer, and I struggled to find the right words to comfort him.I pulled him in for a hug. “Don’t say that, Charles. It’s not your fault.”“But I was the one who caused her to commit suicide,” Charles cried. “How many deaths do I have to be responsible for? How many people do I have to hurt before I learn?”I didn’t understand what he meant, but I knew he was in pain. With the whole Janette incident, it took a miracle for him to regain a sense of normalcy in his life, and now it was gone.“I never got the chance to make things right with her. I pushed her away,

~ CharlesTexas felt different. The air was heavier, as if burdened by the weight of my past. The funeral had come and gone, leaving behind a void that seemed impossible to fill.Janette’s family welcomed me, though they never supported what Janette did to me. But I couldn’t bring myself to tell them what I did to her in revenge.As I stood by her grave, guilt and regret gnawed at me. Megan tried to comfort me over calls, but I couldn’t bring myself to respond. The pain of losing Janette, the woman who was my first love, was consuming me.Days turned into nights, and the grief only grew, becoming my constant companion.Janette’s death reopened old wounds, wounds from what I had done to Jenny. I found solace in solitude, distancing myself from the world. The echoes of her laughter haunted my dreams, a harsh reminder of what I had permanently lost.One evening, I received a call from Megan. I hesitated before answering, unsure if her attempts to reach out were driven by concern. The con

~ MeganMy phone fell out of my hand when I heard the news. I abandoned my bags and ran outside where the car was parked.I entered the back seat, screaming, “Take me to Valley Hills Hospital, now!”The driver was quick to respond. He fired up the engine, driving out of the estate with speed, understanding the urgency of the matter at hand.I was just informed that Charles was involved in a car accident. It was the last thing I expected to hear. Only a couple of minutes ago, we had the biggest fights of our relationship, but now, he was struggling for life.The drive to the hospital felt somewhat long and suffocating; I couldn’t stop my hands from trembling. I tried to think positively, but it was almost impossible; the only thing I could do right now was to hope and pray.As the car pulled over in front of the hospital, I hopped out and dashed inside, disoriented, and asked the nurses at the reception for directions.Charles was in surgery; that was what I learned. I ran to the waiti

~ MeganI allowed Bianca to cry her eyes out without interrupting her until she was calm. I assisted her to a seat, and then I sat with her, wordlessly comforting her.At long last, she stopped and looked at me through her swollen eyes. “Thank you, Megan,” she said, her voice heavy with emotions.I nodded with a smile then intertwined my fingers with hers. “Charles is going to be alright, Bianca, so don’t think too much about it,” I assured her.Bianca’s eyes became moist again, but she tried her hardest to fight the tears. “He will be fine,” she affirmed.I caught my father-in-law stealing glances at us, and I knew he wanted to console his wife, but he was still mad at her for what she did to Charles.Even though what happened to Charles was a tragedy, I was able to learn that he was suffering from depression because he blamed himself for Janette’s death.That explained all the walls he was putting up. He didn’t want me to suffer the same fate as Janette. Unbeknownst to him, his reje
