A MARRIAGE OF CONVENIENCE: MARRIED TO MY ENEMY Chapter 71
~ MeganCharles and I ran out of the house in a hurry after we heard the news. It was still quite early in the morning, I was just getting out of the bathroom when Charles came knocking at my door.He gave me barely five minutes to get ready so we could go to the hospital . I quickly threw on some clothes and joined him outside. The air was crisp, and a sense of urgency filled the atmosphere.The drive to the hospital was filled with anticipation and nervous energy. Neither of us spoke much, lost in our thoughts about what and what the future might hold for their family.As we entered the hospital, the receptionist informed us that Charles’ father had been moved to a private room. We made our way through the corridors, reaching the room where Charles’ father was now conscious.The sight of him awake was a relief to us. It had been such a long since we’d seen him that way. Mr. McCall, looked weak but managed to put forth a faint smile as we entered the VIP room. Charles rushed to his s

~ MeganMy mother-in-law was here uninvited, and her presence cast a sudden shadow over the joyful atmosphere that was buzzing a few seconds ago. The tension in the room escalated, and everyone exchanged uncomfortable glances.“What are you doing here, Mom?” Charles asked, clearly displeased by her unexpected appearance. “This is a private dinner, and before you begin hurling accusations, I want you to know that it was my decision not to invite you.”I looked at him, surprised by his lie. He had no idea that I had all this planned, so there was no way he had access to the guest list. He was just defending me as always. My heart thumped in my chest as Charles had again stirred something in me.Mrs. Bianca was a woman known for her sharp tongue, and it was no longer a secret that she didn’t approve of my marriage with Charles and many aspects of his life in general.As usual, she was dressed as if she were attending an award show. Her expression was elegant but cold and seemed to be jud

~ Megan R18“Charles—” Bianca tried to argue but Charles made the move to leave, forcing her to leave.“I will leave the gift in the living room, Charles,” Bianca said with a downbeat tone then she gave me one last glance one with an encrypted meaning that I could decode: it wasn’t over yet.She left the house shortly after and Charles couldn’t help but remain moody afterward. All attempts to lighten his spirit failed until eventually, everyone had to leave.When they were gone, Charles retired to his room forgetting the cake he was yet to cut. I was obligated to ensure he did that, so I took the palm-sized cake and went to his door.“I don’t want to be disturbed,” he grumbled from inside the room in response to my knocking.“I promise I won’t be disturbing you, “ I said trying to cajole him.As if Charles was waiting for me, he quickly opened the door. “Megan…” His eyes trailed down to the lit cake in my hold and they instantly became warmer. “You didn’t have to.”“But I did,” I said

~ CharlesIn the morning, I turned to my side with a yawn and found Megan peacefully cuddled up in the corner , snoring softly. It was then I recalled the activities of the past night and I found myself smiling.I climbed out of bed to go to bathroom and after I returned, I decided to go downstairs discreetly, not wanting to wake the sleeping beauty in my bed.It was a beautiful morning , and the sun was casting a warm hue over everything. I made my way to the kitchen to pour myself a cup of coffee when I randomly met the chef. We exchanged greetings but before he could escape my grasp, I got a bright idea.“Make me a simple British breakfast, I would like to serve my wife in bed,” I told him.The chef smiled, “of course, sir. Right away.”I thanked him then proceeded to the living room to wait for the breakfast to be ready. While I waited, I decided to check my phone for any urgent messages. As usual, there was. My assistant had already sent me a message as early as 5 o’clock in the

~ CharlesI hurriedly left Megan and headed to the bathroom without giving her an explanation. I left the house shortly after because I didn’t want to be in the same space as Megan, it was messing with my mind.The last time I felt something similar to this I ended up with a broken heart, one that could not be fixed. I had no love in my heart anymore neither did I believe in it but I also didn’t want Megan to get her hopes high. We could be nothing more than bed friends.For the rest of the day, I avoided her, ensuring to have all my meeting outside the office.I knew something was terribly wrong with me and I needed to fix it. Towards evening when all my meetings had been concluded, I sent out a call to someone that could help me regain myself. “Hey, Jasmine. I want to see you. Same room, Pride Oriental hotel.”Maybe I needed to blow off some steam with one of my lovers to regain my sanity the Megan was slowly taking.Pride Oriental hotel was owned by Lucian’s family and it had been

~ CharlesMy father cleared his throat before he began, his voice carrying an air of authority that demanded attention. We were allowed to return inside due to the weather.“Thank you all for gathering here on such short notice. As you all know, I have been away for a while now, and while I was gone, a lot happened.” He paused, using the moment to scrutinize some specific members of the family, Megan and me included. “I heard it all, believe it or not. I didn’t need to be around to hear of the challenges our family faced, and I am grateful for the strength and resilience of some members.”Again, my father channeled his gaze towards Megan and me, and I couldn’t help but feel the intensity of his stare. “In the midst of our challenges, we’ve also witnessed moments of love and support, especially from Megan, my daughter-in-law. When Charles was enduring through the tough times, she became a pillar of strength and support when truly needed.”“It disappoints me to know that my family becam

~ Megan“What is the catch, dad?” Charles asked anxiously.“I want a grandchild from both of you,” Mr. McCall declared.The room fell into a stunned silence at my father-in-law’s unexpected demand. The weight of his words pressed heavily against Charles and me. But the old man was not joking; I could feel the insensitivity of his gaze on both Charles and me.“A grandchild?” Charles repeated, breaking the silence. The astonishment in his voice mirrored mine. “Dad, can you hear yourself?”“Yes, Charles, I can. I want a grandchild from both of you,” my father-in-law repeated, his tone unyielding.I exchanged a quick glance with Charles, and I could see the future rejection and uncertainty in his eyes. “Dad, having a child is not a walk in the park. It is easier said than done!”The Idea of being tasked with such an important responsibility as producing heirs for the family was beyond my imagination. If only Mr. McCall knew of the complexities within my relationship with Charles.“Charles

~ Megan“What are you talking about?” I asked Celene, confusion etched so deep it reached my skull.“You haven’t seen it?” Celene asked, increasing my anxiety and confusion.“Just tell me what is going on, Celene?” I said impatiently, my tone rising.“Check your phone; I sent it to you,” Celene said.Dread filled my insides as I read through the article Celene sent. It contained details like the date, time, and location of where Celene’s abortion took place, but instead of Celene’s name, mine was written in bold prints.The writer went further to call me condescending names and revealed some details of Charles and my marriage, calling it a sham and labeling me a social climber who is leaching off the McCall family’s wealth.It didn't only paint me badly but also stated that my family was in debt, and that was why I seduced Charles and manipulated him into marrying me. The article went further to accuse me of seducing my former boss to get promoted.What was worst, they accused me of c
