Finally, a successful interview, stepping out of the cab looking at the main entrance at G.L.O.S.H, I sighed. I've been searching 1 year now for a job, after moving from my hometown to the city of Florida, I need to help my parents back home; mom is in debt because of dad's capability of not staying out of jail, but never did I want to work here, I don't want to work at the place my ex-best friend fiancée owns, ever since last Christmas, she hasn't spoken to me and last I heard, she did call off the engagement, but it isn't my fault he kissed me, right?
Flashback
“Girl he fucking proposed!” Stevie yelled in my face flashing her diamond ring, causing nearby shoppers to turn heads,
“OMG! Stevie this is great, I can't fucking believe it! I'm going to be a bridesmaid.” We were there yelling screaming with excitement,
“Girl and guess what the engagement party is tomorrow! I can't wait to see the look on Brad's face when news breaks out am engaged to a millionaire,” she smirked.
I chuckled back; “Yeah but why the rush plus you know Stevie you should be genuine to Anthony he seems like a good man, I haven't met him... yet and though you showed me like one picture I can barely see, I like him so don't use him to hurt Brad because Brad hurt y...”
“Oh c'mon Megan lightened up, you know I'm kidding,” faking her laugh, “C'mon let's go get dresses and accessories, don't worry I'm using Anthony's credit card to purchase all our accessories,” I gave her a disapproving look, while she waved the card around, she rolled her eyes and grab me by the hand, causing me to tug behind her,
“Alright, Stevie whatever you say.”
I arrived at the engagement party, and wow... crystal chandeliers, marble floors, and counters, a minibar, pieces of furniture I've never seen before, like damn how rich was this guy. I've never met him face to face, but I've seen a picture, I can hardly make out his face but because he makes my friend happy, I approve of him. I walked around, grabbed glasses of champagne from the trays, glancing at each guest here, they sure looked rich still haven't seen anyone I know, lost in my thoughts of how sad I was in reality, always remembering my parents back home changes my mood for the worse every time, since coming to Florida, all I did was use up my savings to survive daily, Stevie always suggests I come live with her and her boyfriend but I always declined, I know me; am a procrastinator, once I'm too comfortable I'll just give up, two months searching for a job and still had no luck, but I was happy for my best friend, she deserved it, we are best friends ever since diaper days, yeah we go way back, drinking my fourth glass of champagne I was looking at my friendship bracelet and began to smile to my self, I have one and Stevie has the other, speaking of her; where is she, as I was about to leave the bar, a man approached me.
This man had bright chocolate eyes, facial features of a model, his hair was as dark as the devil's soul, he had rose lips, leaving his face my eyes traveled to his torso, his pure white suit cling to his body, wow he was beautiful as the sunset.
“Well hello beautiful, trusting you're having a wonderful night,” his voice so deep, enriched with calmness, it steadies my waves of troubles, having me forget my problems.
“Indeed, and though I still haven't seen my friend, I would say this evening is getting interesting,” giving him the broadest smile while attempting to be sexy. He chuckled.
“Well then beautiful if you don't mind me telling you, you got lipstick on your teeth,” He leaned forward and whispered in my ears, hiding my embarrassment with a laugh, I took my mini mirror out and wiped it off with my tongue,
“Aye much better, a girl can't be showing off her pearly whites without fear that her lipstick might ruin her smile” drinking my last sip of champagne, I watched him carefully, he watches me right back. He said nothing, he just stood there, he moved closer and closer, I gulped down the anxiousness that kept rising to my throat, keeping my eyes fit on the tempting man lips, oh I want to know what they taste like, he made the first move and our lips met, we were kissing. No, this isn't who I am, it must be the champagne. But I found myself kissing back, filled with passion, I hungrily kiss back this stranger, and he kissed me, craving me like I was his drug.
“Well... Well... Well” we stopped kissing and noticing everybody looking at us at the bar, and Stevie was holding a mic,
“Goodnight everybody but sorry to say there isn't going to be an engagement party since my slut of a best friend decided to kiss my douchebag of a fiancée, enjoy your evening though,” she finished off with a devilish smirk, I was shocked, so shocked I didn't even realize, the man already dashed off after Stevie, that was Anthony, that was him! I kissed Anthony, my best friend's fiancée.
Grabbing my purse from the counter, I parted through the crowd as they gave me ugly glances, damn I was embarrassed, but it wasn't my fault, he kissed me. Finding the couple outside in a heated argument, I made several attempts to turn around and go back inside but I also want to explain myself, but Stevie glanced at me before I could gather my thoughts and decide on my actions,
"YOU! You're such a fucking slut” I felt my cheeks warmed up, realizing she slapped me.
“Take this back! I want no bitch as my best friend,” she took her friendship bracelet off and threw it at me, and she stormed off, Anthony running after her not even noticing me, stood there shocked, with tears running down my face, I ran to my crap of a car, wow this was supposed to be a lovely evening .
It's been three years since the death of my husband, Anthony Rhone. I found out that married me without my knowledge, to enjoy that I was ok, and probably if he was alive today I— I would have... Kissed him more, hug him longer, what if he did live? Why did he have to die? I miss him, I miss him every single day, it's been so long but to me, it's like yesterday, the wound was still fresh, no matter how many times I peel the band aid back just to check because I will never accept it, my husband lives forever, I carried him around in my heart. Jace on the other survived, lucky bastard, I thought, he did get away without a serious injury but at least he is alive, I can tell every day that he is grateful. I sat in my backyard while lily and her grandparents played, yes grandparents. After Anthony's funeral I discovered, I was pregnant. And even though everyone looked at me with scorn for keeping the baby, I'm glad I did.
Anthony PovI sat next to Megan with my hands cuffed to hers and hers cuffed to the bedpost, there was no escaping and I knew it, but I was glad she was just an amateur trying to walk in the foot steps of her father, she had no idea, what that fake stone consisted,I watched Stevie carefully as she paced back and forth in the room, with her hands behind her, "Why did you kill her...why did you kill Higgins?" I questioned her trying to buy us enough time"Well, that day at the grocery store...""I told you it was her! I told you," Megan shouted in a whisper to my face."That day I sort of trail you guys because at first I just wanted money and an easy life, but unfortunately your girl Higgins was too friendly with strangers, we met in a bar back in Paris and I realize she was an opportunity, so I killed her and threatened you using her phone, and came to Florida in a disguise looking like her,
Megan POVHas I regained consciousness, groaning in pain, I was experiencing a terrible headache, I tried to move, but my body felt weak, and lacked energy. I felt cold, cold to be exact because I still naked from Natalie and I... wait a minute. While I processing everything, I noticed how my hands felt as if they were tied above my head, and I was in slightly a sitting position, the objects around my hands, rumbled like metal chains, and then it hit me, I was cuffed to the bedpost, but why? I slowly began to open my eyes, but I instantly regret it, the bright light from the room stung my eyes, so force them shut, cursing lowly under my breath, my cheeks felt sticky and stiff, it must be from stained lipstick, I opened my eyes again, and I saw her, staring at me."What the fuck is going on Natalie? You drugged me, you sick psychopath,”Chuckling lowly, she glared at me, with a luminous grin “Couples of hours ago you were
Anthony POV"Listen, Jace! I'm telling you... I saw Darb this morning, he is here in Florida so assign someone else to attend to Megan's parents, but I need you here, right now". I angrily end the call.I was overworked and pissed, It was a couple of days until my wedding, and I haven't fucked my fiancée in days, we barely even spoke, these last couple of days have been terrible, I just want to get through them with Megan. I palmed my face, I was stressed, horny and my part-time PA got on my fucking nerves, she was clumsy, hopelessly jabbed me flirty talk and she questioned my authority, "Mr. Rhone is everything ok?" She asked."Yes,” I retorted stiffly."You know Anthony—” she got up from her assigned desk, walked towards me, massaging my shoulders"I can make you feel good— real good...if you'll give me the chance, ” she stood behind me, leanin
Megan PovMom was right, it's time to put things between Stevie and me behind me, but It was impossible to get in touch with her, her social media accounts haven't been updated in months, our friends back home haven't heard from her, I even tried to reach out to her parents, but they only insulted me, calling me names. It's like she vanished off earth's surface.This past week has been busy, Anthony are I still aren't talking terms and we are supposed to get married in a few days, and my life has been a rollercoaster filled with surprises, betrayals, deaths, and secrets.

Anthony POVAfter explaining over and over to Megan what happened in the bathroom that night, she searched my story for loopholes that didn't exist, Natalie kept sending me random messages from various numbers, and even though I blocked and ignored her, she will only message me via another phone, I had to beg Megan to not go by Natalie's house to whoop her ass, everyone knew who we were, and no doubts that we would make every possible gossip site there is, and I honestly couldn't deal with another Best friend Scandal"Meg, come on are you seriously going to ignore me? Your parents are on their way and this is how we will greet them," ever since last night, she hasn’t spoken to me, or even looked at me, she went as far as to sleep in another bedroom.I took the day off work to help her prepare her parent's favorite meal, clean the house, and welcome them, I could have hired someone to do all of that bu
Megan POVMy hand scanned the bed to find a beside me, I open my eyes slowly searching for any signs of Anthony, but what I saw was only a tray on the bedside table with heart-shaped fried eggs, pancakes, coffee, a bowl of sliced strawberries, and a note tucked away to the side, I reached for the note and read it,My love,I didn't want to wake you so I made you breakfast, I hope you enjoy it, however, I had to leave for work, you not being at the office makes things more difficult, I need temporary my P.A, love you. Call me...we need to talk.I smiled at his efforts to make me happy, he was trying his best to be the best fiancée and I appreciate that. The breakfast was cold but the coffee was a bit warm still, it wasn't bad, I freshened up and search my apartment for Natalie, today was the day she was supposed to go back home, and I wanted to enjoy a few hours with her,"
Anthony POVlistened to Megan heavy breathing as she slept, she was completely drained after five rounds of sex, I lay beside her in bed, cuddling her, so many things coming at me once, Stacey Jones, My father's spirit roaming around, my wedding is next week, being the mafia of Paris, the CEO of G.L.O.S.H, I just wanted to live a normal life, to be a husband and possibly even a dad, thinking about family made me realize, I never once pulled out, and we didn't even use condoms, but she was going to be my wife and one day the mother of my kids, whether now or later it's bound to happen anyway.I found it rather strange how Stacey Jones has minimum information about her and it no older than a year old, her life before that seem nonexistent. I need to find this bitch and show her who run these mother fucking streets, of course, I am not going to kill her, but I might rough her up a bit. I still don't understand what is the use of the power s
Megan POVMy mouth got dry, anxiety snaked through my body, "Was he going to hurt me?" I swallowed hard, "No, he is a little crazy in the head, but he won't harm a fly, he just doesn't understand that he is retired now," he explained “I don’t know why I bother to have bodyguards, they can’t even do their jobs,”"Oh,” was the only thing I could squeal out, I honestly wasn't afraid of him, but I didn't know how to feel about it, "Anthony I love you with all my heart but I just want you to be completely honest with me, if I am going to be your wife, that's the least I ask of you, ok?" "Ok,” he bobbed his head.I took a deep sigh, leaning back in the couch, inspecting the ceiling as thoughts of the wedding invaded my mind, "What are you thinking about my love?" Anthony kissed my face, licking my ear loops.I felt my core moistened, my nipples getting hard and heat
