Little did the couple know that a storm was coming. Charles’ past was going to come haunting and it was going to be scandalous.It turned out that not everyone was happy about them finding their happiness, especially Charles’ so called best friend, Steve.“I’m pregnant, Steve,” May said, crossing her legs.Steve scoffed, wiping his nose of white powder. “So what? I am not the father.”“But your friend Charles is, “May said, rubbing her stomach.It was as if it was the funniest joke Steve had ever heard. He busted into a fit of laughter. “Come on, May. You and I know you didn’t sleep with Charles, it was all a plan of ours to humiliate him."May smiled wickedly. “And you said I should get pregnant so we could pin it on him right?”Steve smirked wickedly then he kissed May’s knuckles. “And you delivered as expected.”That particular day, Steve’s hatred for Charles hit its peak when Megan called him to check on Charles regardless of the beef between them. Megan didn’t care, she just want
Charle’s POV“I’m here to give you a warning, Charles,” Steve said, his voice low and menacing. “You think you’re untouchable, don’t you? Living your happy little life with your perfect wife, blissfully unaware of what’s coming for you.”I felt a knot form in my stomach, a sense of dread creeping over me. “What are you talking about, Steve? Get to the point.”Steve smirked, a twisted gleam in his eyes. “I know your little secret, Charles. And let me tell you, it’s going to blow up in your face. You thought you could leave me behind, but you’re not getting away that easily.”My heart pounded in my chest as I tried to process his words. What secret was he talking about? What did he know? And why was he trying to threaten me?“Listen, Steve, I don’t know what game you’re playing, but if you have something to say, say it. Otherwise, I’m leaving,” I said, trying to keep my voice steady despite the fear rising within me.Steve’s smirk widened, a cruel glint in his eyes. “Oh, you’ll find out
MeganI was nervous as the doctor prepared to read the results. The room was tense, filled not only with those directly affected but also Charles' family members. His father had been by my side since learning of the test, and Bianca silently supported me, waiting to confront the woman who would soon become a distant memory.The doctor cleared his throat. "The test results have confirmed that you are the biological father. I understand this news may bring about a mix of emotions. I'm here to provide support and guidance as you navigate this next step. It's important to take the time you need to process this information, and if you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to ask."Whatever else the doctor said was drowned out by the chilling silence. My palms grew cold, and my breaths quickened.I stood up, almost collapsing back into my chair as my knees shook. I couldn't believe what I already knew. As silly as it sounded, that was my truth. I couldn't bear to stay, so I
~ Charles"Please, I need to talk to Megan urgently," I pleaded with Celene, but she wasn't ready to listen."Leave, Charles. I don't want to call the cops on you," she threatened, arms crossed.I had been coming over all week long with the hopes of seeing Megan, but her family was uncooperative. At first, I thought she wasn't home, but after checking all her usual locations, I could only debunk that she was home.I knew she didn't want to see me, but I didn't want to give up just yet. I needed her to know that I was sorry for all the hurt my past actions were causing her.Today, like the previous days before it, I came to plead with her family members to allow me to visit her, but I froze when she opened the door."Megan…" I tried to grab her, but she turned on her heels inside the house. Without a second thought, I followed her. "Megan, please wait.""Leave me alone," she cried, running up the stairs."Mr. McCall, you should leave. My daughter doesn't want to speak with you," Mr. Co
~ CharlesI don't know if it would be wrong to say I hate the mother of my unborn child, but I really do. She is a literal pain in the ass who cares little about how her actions affect others. I glanced at Megan, who came along with me to the hospital. She was oddly quiet, but I could see genuine concern etched in her brows for a woman who attempted to ruin her marital life.I don't believe people like Megan should exist in this flawed world with people like May and me; she was literally a saint amidst wolves. She didn't even get upset that our day was ruined by the news; she was rather scared that something might have happened to May.The doctor came out shortly after and spoke to us, telling us the situation of that crazy lady. “She is battling with severe depression; she can't be left alone, otherwise, it might not end well next time,” the doctor said.I immediately flared up. “So we have to hire a caregiver for her now? We might as well just put her in an asylum.”Megan shot up to
~ MeganHearing that May tried to seduce Charles infuriated me, and I couldn't help but confront the insolent girl. I had been excusing her attitude all this time because I could understand that she was going through depression, but trying to seduce Charles was going too far.I found May sitting in the living room, flipping through a magazine as if nothing had happened. My anger reached boiling point as I approached her.“What the hell do you think you were doing last night?” I snapped, unable to contain my frustration.May looked up, her expression shifting from indifference to mild surprise. “Oh Megan, what a surprise. Did you come to keep me company? Don't bother, I am fine all by myself.”I scoffed at her stupid attempt at feigning ignorance. “Cut the crap, May. I know what you tried to do to Charles yesterday. Seducing him? Seriously? Are you that dumb?”May's facade faltered, and a flicker of guilt flashed across her face before it was replaced by defiance. "What are you talking
~ MeganI spoke earnestly, my voice tinged with frustration and desperation, hoping to convey my innocence to my father-in-law amidst the gravity of the situation."She deliberately manipulated the situation to make it appear as though I pushed her down the stairs. But I swear, Father, I would never do such a sinister thing, no matter how upset I may be. You know me, you know that I love Charles a lot and care about this family. I couldn't harm anyone, let alone a pregnant woman for that matter."My father-in-law regarded me with a mixture of concern and contemplation, absorbing my words carefully. "Megan, I've known you for years. I know the kind of person you are, and I find it hard to believe that you would intentionally harm anyone, let alone May."I felt a wave of relief wash over me at his words. Perhaps he was beginning to see through May's deceitful facade."But," he continued, his expression serious, "we can't ignore the evidence before us. May's injuries, her condition... Th
~ CharlesIt was a big shock to meet Megan at my father’s house. I could only hide my surprise by pretending to be unsurprised to see her. As she stepped aside for us to chat, her presence seemed to fill the space, and I couldn't help but feel a rush of conflicting emotions.“Charles?” she narrowed her eyes. “You didn't tell me that you would be coming here,” her voice a mixture of apprehension and determination.“Honey!” I replied, mustering a smile despite the turmoil brewing within me. “Why are you here? I mean, you didn't tell me that you would be seeing Father today…”She hesitated for a moment before speaking, her gaze steady. “I needed to talk to your father, Charles. It's about May and her crazy claims.”My heart sank at the mention of May’s name. The mere thought of her sent heavy waves of frustration through me. But I pushed aside the emotions, focusing on Megan, or better still, trying not to break character so she wouldn't know I came here for a reason.I laughed awkwardly
