A MARRIAGE OF CONVENIENCE: MARRIED TO MY ENEMY Chapter 42
~CharlesI was highly devastated, my heart slamming against my ribs. I looked at everyone in the room; there was no atom of pity in their eyes for me, not even my mother. Shame wouldn’t let her look me in the eyes because this was the height of all the betrayals she had done to me in the past. I would never forgive her for this.I looked at Megan, searching for support, but she wouldn’t look my way. My heart sank. Even Megan was abandoning me in my time of need.Reality dawned on me when the executives began to vote again, but this time, it was for my replacement. I couldn’t bring myself to participate because even breathing was becoming a task I was failing at.After all the efforts I had put into growing McCall Enterprises, all the years of hard work, endless travels, bargaining with top businessmen who were not easy to sway, countless sleepless nights—all for nothing.Yes, I had been flopping lately due to the pressure, and yes, we incurred losses in the past because I was still a

~ CharlesThe atmosphere in my office was a mixture of relief and anticipation. I sat across from Megan, still grappling with the shock of the recent events. She could see the turmoil in my eyes, the weight of my responsibilities, and the scars of past betrayals.“Thank you, Megan,” I finally spoke, my voice carrying a mix of gratitude and vulnerability.Megan reached across the table, taking my hand in hers. “Charles, we’re a team. Your father trusted me with this responsibility, and I won’t let him down. We’ll face this together.”I nodded, a hint of a smile playing on my lips. “I never expected this from you, Megan. I thought you were leaving me too.”She squeezed my hand reassuringly. “I promised to stand by you, for better or worse. And I meant it.”My eyes softened, and for a moment, the weight seemed to lift. But I knew challenges lay ahead, and we needed a strategy.Megan answered all of my undying questions which was all rounded up to a coincidental plan by my father to prote

~Charles(R18)A night that started off as something simple and perfect took an unexpected turn when we both got drunk.I stared at Megan, outlining the features of her body and I knew she grew uncomfortable under my gaze but I didn’t stop. With a small smile playing on my lips, I commented, “you are one of the prettiest women I know Megan and believe me when I say I know many women.”Megan laughed. “Stop your faltering, Charles. I think you had a little too much to drink.”I chuckled. My tolerance level for alcohol was pretty high since I was once a chronic alcoholic. It was a dark time in my life but I learned quite a lot from it. The truly drunk person between us was Megan. Her eyes could barely stay open, and she kept giggling at everything I said.My lustful eyes again wandered down her chest, to the molds of her breast, the perfect cups that I had only touched once…Fuck! I slapped myself, trying to pull my head out of the gutters it fell into. The jerk between my legs was alread

~Megan(R18)Why was I a quivering mess? Charles' lustful eyes on my body, watching my every move sent swift shivers down my spine. I didn’t know what it was about Charles that turned me on so much but I loved every bit of it.I swallowed thickly as his hand slid down my stomach, encroaching into my forbidden zone, a wide but seductive plaster on his face. “Do you want me to stop? Just say the word and I will stop,” he tainted.He was trying to bait me, but I knew the rules of our engagement, resistance means you want more. I wanted more. “Shh~stop,” I hissed weakly.The Inner muscles between my legs were beginning to clench, my orgasm was so close even though I just had one not too long ago.With a lip biting moan and clamming of my legs, my orgasm wracked through my body. For a few seconds, Charles continued stroking, ensuring I enjoyed every second of my orgasm.At long last, it was over. We stared at the ceiling above, breathing steadying after the vigorous exercise we had.“Megan.

~ MeganMy eyes slowly opened as the light pierced through, revealing a maid struggling with the automatic windows. The window had to be fully open before it could close again.“I am sorry, ma’am. I didn’t mean to wake you up,” the young maid apologized.I recognized her as the one who occasionally cleaned Charles’ room. I forced a smile, waving aside her apology.“Where is Charles—I mean your boss?” I quickly corrected myself.The maid hesitated, and in that split second, fear of the unknown overwhelmed me.“Mr. Charles is in the study, ma’am. He said he had some important matters to attend to,” the maid responded.“Thank you,” I replied, nodding appreciatively. As the maid scurried away, I swung my legs over the side of the bed and stretched, feeling the stiffness from the night of passion with Charles.It was a miracle that I didn’t wake up with a headache, but every part of my body was aching. Smiling sheepishly, my mind flashed back to the memories of the night, and I couldn’t he

~ MeganI bit my fingers as I waited patiently for Charles to come downstairs . Suddenly, it felt as if time was slower than ever today. Countless sighs left my lips as I stared at the door.When Charles finally came into the dinning room, his brows furrowed and lips were thinned, I could tell that something wasn’t right with him which makes two of us. He glanced at me , and concern crept into his eyes.“Is everything alright, Megan?” He asked, pulling out a chair.I took a deep breath, trying to calm my nerves. “Charles, we need to talk,” I said, my voice shaky.He nodded, then got up and came to seat closer to me , sensing my need for privacy. “So what’s up?” He asked immediately.I hesitated for a moment before blurting out the words that has been weighing on my mind. “I think I might be pregnant,” I confessed, watching his very expression keenly to see any sign of reaction.Charles’ eyes widened in surprise, and for a moment, he was rendered speechless. “Pregnant?” He repeated abs

~ MeganI nodded, my heart pounding. “I went to the doctor today, and the tests confirmed it.”Charles leaned back in his chair, running a hand through his hair. “This complicates things, Megan. I wasn’t prepared for this.”“I understand it’s unexpected,” I replied, trying to gauge his feelings.He sighed, his eyes meeting mine. “I need some time to think about this.”I smiled, my hopes shattering. “Sure. Take your time.”I got up and left the study, ignoring Charles calling out to me. He followed me immediately but didn’t get to catch up until I was at the door of my room.“Megan, please wait,” he said, almost breathless.I turned to him with a frown. “What do you want?” I asked him, my voice heavy with emotion. “Want to blame me for getting pregnant?”Charles was taken aback. “what? No!” His brows furrowed but he eased them with a sigh, crossing the distance between us. He tried to hold my hands but I wouldn’t let him. “Megan, please hear me out.”I looked away, crossing my arms. “S

~ MeganI stumbled out of bed, panic gripping me as I rushed to the bathroom. The sight of the blood filled me with dread and a million thoughts raced through my mind.Charles simultaneously knocked on the door and when I didn’t answer, he rushed in. I called out to him desperately and he answered.“Megan!” He cried, rushing to my side, his face etched with concern.“Charles…” I tried to speak but the words got caught in my throat.“Megan,” Charles called out again as I didn’t answer. His voice was filled with worry. “What is happening?” He asked.“I don’t know, Charles. I am bleeding!” I replied with a panicky voice, my hands shaking as I held onto the bathroom sink.Charles swept me off my feet, taking me to the bed, his eyes scanned my body for any signs of weakness. “We need to get you to a hospital, now,” he declared, the urgency in his voice was palpable.In a bur, Charles helped me out of my night wear into a dress, gathered some essentials and rushed me to the car. He had alre

~ Charles“Megan,” I began, my voice quivering with the burdensome weight of what I needed to say. Her eyes turned to me, full of curiosity and concern, as I confessed the truth that had eaten away at my peace and sanity for years.Megan lost her mind for a moment, kicking, punching, and calling me names. She refused to believe that I was capable of such an evil act. She said she saw the silhouette of the hit-and-run driver, and it wasn't mine. She accused me of taking the fall for someone, and I tried to explain that I was not, but she wouldn't believe me.“Megan, it is the truth, and I can't keep running from it,” I said, my voice steadier with resolve. “I need to own up to what I’ve done.”Megan remained in denial, but I felt ecstatic, more than I have felt in years. It was ironic, huh? I was feeling relieved just knowing that I was going to pay for my crimes. Megan refused to follow me, so after I said my last goodbye to my son, I drove myself to the police station, knowing that

~ MeganI ran out of the office panting. When I saw my sister, I told her everything and I took the flash drive that had the video with me.My sister had a brilliant idea. She smirked as she spoke. “Tomorrow is Charles’ wedding with that snake. Why don't we crash the wedding and expose the truth?”My eyes lit up. “You are so bloody smart and wicked, Lena,” I smirked.With determination burning in our hearts, Celena and I hatched a plan to crash Charles’s wedding, and Lucian was ready to help us in any way possible. We would expose May tomorrow for her deceit. Armed with the evidence that still had its primary source alive, I knew it would be a piece of cake to expose May.The next day, we arrived at the venue of the wedding, our hearts pounding with anticipation and nerves. We were determined to make our move before it was too late.As we stealthily made our way inside, I felt like I was in one of those dramatic telenovelas, and I was the female lead ready to rain hell on the villains
A MARRIAGE OF CONVENIENCE: MARRIED TO MY ENEMY Chapter 137
~ MeganThat was the last conversation I had with Charles before our divorce was made public. Without giving an explanation to the public, he began his wedding preparations, forcing people to speculate about the reason for our separation. Unsurprisingly, there were people who guessed it right and immediately began to cyber-attack Charles and May.I avoided the media and crowded locations because I wasn't ready to face them yet.Every day felt like an endless battle as I tried to survive the storm of emotions that raged within me. The pain of my separation from Charles made me feel vulnerable and broken because neither of us wanted it. But then I knew I had to stay strong, for myself and for the life that lay ahead of me with Charles.As the days crawled by, I found solace in quiet moments, mostly spent alone, where I could reflect on the memories we had shared and the love that had once bound us together. But even in the midst of my grief, a flicker of hope remained, a tiny flame tha

~ Megan"But my father... he has always been too focused on the business, even when he is supposed to be retired. He is hell-bent on protecting the family name at all costs. He can't see past that, even if it means our happiness."Tears welled up in my eyes as I shook my head in disbelief. It was as if things were about to head south, and there was nothing I could do to stop it. "I can't believe he is doing this to me... I thought we had his support.""So did I," Charles admitted, feeling a lump form in my throat. "But it seems like... like he is willing to throw everything away for the sake of that company."I wrapped my arms around Charles, seeking solace in his embrace. “We’ll get through this, Charles. We always do, no matter how tough the going gets. As long as we have each other, we are going to be fine.”I knew that no matter the challenges that lie ahead, we would overcome them, as long as we had each other, we would be fine.“I love you, Megan,” Charles whispered, pressing a

~ 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

~ 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

~ 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

~ 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

~ 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
