A MARRIAGE OF CONVENIENCE: MARRIED TO MY ENEMY Chapter 90
~ MeganAs Charles made the offer to Bianca to stay with us, I couldn’t help but feel a mix of frustration and apprehension. Despite her illness, Bianca’s manipulative nature seemed to persist.I exchanged a subtle glance with Charles, but he didn’t seem to understand the meaning I was trying to convey to him. I was unsure of how to navigate this unexpected turn of events.Bianca, feigning gratitude, responded, “Thank you, Charles. I appreciate your kindness. I just want to be around family during this time.”Charles nodded, his concern for his mother evident. “Of course, Mom. Megan and I will make sure you are comfortable.”I bit my lips, holding back any objections. It was clear as day that Charles wanted to support his mother in any way he could, but I couldn’t shake the feeling that Bianca’s motives were more complicated than I was assuming.In the following days, Bianca’s presence in our home became a reality. My father-in-law had no objections to Bianca staying with us, but he a

~ Charles“If that is the case, then I should take you back home, right?” I sighed, my brows furrowed. “Mom, I don’t know why you wanted to live with us, but if your plan was to cause a rift between Megan and me, I’d suggest you leave. I decided to play along with your charade even though I want nothing to do with you. Regardless of all the things you put me through, I still think that you are my mother.”“I don’t appreciate the unnecessary drama you are trying to cause in my relationship. If you can’t coexist with Megan, one of you must leave, and that person will be you,” I said with a tone of finality.My mother wiped away a fake tear, looking at me with pleading eyes. “I just want to be close to you, Charles. I don’t want her to drive a wedge between us.”“That is enough, Mom,” I yelled, my frustration evident. “There has been a wedge between us long before Megan came into the picture, so stop with all these pretenses already.”My mom, not getting the reaction she desired, changed

~ CharlesI tossed around in bed, finding the weight on me unbearable. It caused me to open my eyes and they instantly widened.“What the fuck?” I yelled, pushing off the nude woman from my body. “Who are you and what are you doing in my bed?”The woman still half-asleep and disoriented, blinked at me. “Huh? What is the matter, babe?”I felt a mix of shock and anger. “Babe? I don’t know you. How did you get into my room?”She sat up, pulling up the sheet to cover her nakedness. “Wait, don’t tell me you forgot?”My frustration grew. “Forgot what? Why are you here and who the hell are you?”The girl shook her head in disappointment. “You are as evil as they say, Charles McCall. How could you forget the night of passion we shared? You even asked me to be your lover.”“Liar,” I refused to accept something I had no memory of, but then I was hit by a sudden migraine probably caused by a hangover.Hangover… Could it be that this girl was saying the truth? I immediately looked around, and not

~ CharlesThe golf club seemed like the perfect place to clear my head, but for some reason, I couldn’t shake off the heavy feeling of guilt pressing down on my shoulders.To make matters worse, Megan was by my side; her presence was like a constant reminder of what I did that night.There was nothing to come clean about, but why was I feeling guilty? What I did with my life was nobody’s business.The game with the mayor's son was just a mere distraction that failed to divert me. Megan cheered from the side, and I tried to ignore her. She canceled her plans to go to the race track all of a sudden to follow me to the club. I was already getting annoyed by her presence, although I refrained from telling her.After the games, we sat at the clubhouse, the silence between us deafening.Megan’s narrowed, piercing gaze demanded an explanation, and I knew I couldn’t avoid the conversation any longer.“Charles, we need to talk,” Megan said, her eyes searching mine.I hesitated, a lump forming

~ Megan“Cousin?” Charles repeated, skeptical.“Mmhmm.” I nodded. “He was my childhood best friend and partner in crime before he traveled to Australia.”Charles looked genuinely confused. “He is from Australia?”“No, silly, he is American.” I chuckled. “Shocked? Well, it is normal; no one ever believes he lives in Australia because he hides his Ocker accent well.”“And Barcode is just his nickname,” I added. Then I turned to Barcode. “This is my husband, Charles McCall.”“Nice to meet you, mate,” Barcode offered his outstretched hand to Charles, using his Australian accent.Charles absentmindedly accepted the handshake, still looking at Barcode like some criminal.In all honesty, I asked Barcode to come to our house looking that way; sleeveless t-shirt, crazy ripped jeans, and a lot of fake tattoos on his hands.At first, Barcode refused to help me, but he eventually agreed after I told him the reason. I wanted Charles to come along because I wanted Charles to relax and finally talk

~ Megan“Charles?” I looked over Jenny’s father’s shoulder at Charles. “What are you doing here?”“Surprised, right?” Jenny’s father, Mr. Johnson, chuckled. “So were we when we first learned that Charles became a last-minute friend of Jenny. They met a day before her death.”My heart sank at the revelation. Charles and Jenny, friends? It was like discovering a hidden chapter in Jenny’s life I never knew existed. We told each other everything, so why didn’t she tell me about meeting a billionaire the day before?Charles shifted uncomfortably, avoiding eye contact. “I, uh, just wanted to pay my respects. I heard today is Jenny’s birthday, and I thought that was the least I could do.”“Oh, Megan, you have no idea how much of a support system Charles has been to us during this period of our mourning,” Mr. Johnson continued. “Both financially and psychologically, Charles has been more than helpful. You know, he even paid for therapy for my wife and me?”I eyed Charles, feeling a mix of emo

~ CharlesThe rest of the ride was silent and suffocating. I had to make the driver stop by Steve’s condo where I got off.“Steve needs some help with something,” I told Megan.“Yeah, yeah, whatever.” She waved dismissively. She hated Steve, so nothing about this meeting concerned her.I watched the car disappear, but the guilt didn’t leave me. With a sigh, I entered the complex. I knocked on Steve’s door, but it was a woman that answered.“Charles the playboy is here,” the girl announced, giggling as she did.Her face didn’t ring a bell, but I guess she knew me personally. I looked at her from head to toe and wanted to retreat. She had a strange white powder leaking out of her nose, and her eyes could barely stay open.“Charles! Good thing you are here; you can join us,” Steve hailed from inside the room.The girl stepped aside, granting me entrance, but I instantly halted when I saw what was happening. There were three other women in the room, all sniffing a white powdery substance

~ CharlesHe vowed to keep my secret, and he has been doing so for months now. We never spoke about it; it was almost as if it never happened. But the countless nights I woke up from my sleep panting because of the repeated nightmare I had didn’t let me forget.I thought that he should have learned something from that experience, but it turned out that he was not in the least affected by everything that was happening. I couldn’t blame him, though. He wasn’t the one that hit Jenny, so I guess he had nothing to be guilty of.After what felt like forever, Steve stepped out of the showers, eyes still as red as a bull’s.“Feeling better now?” I asked him with a cocked brow.He nodded, sluggishly towel-drying his hair. “You are going to rehab, Steve,” I declared.“I am not an addict,” Steve said begrudgingly, mumbling under his breath.“I didn’t ask if you were an addict, you junkie,” I retorted. “I know you are an addict, and the only place you can get the help you need is in a rehabilitat
