"Babe, why did you get pregnant for that man?
Natasha asked Megan.It almost sounded, as though, she have not heard it before."Why are you asking me such a question?She asked her too. Can't you see that the man is stinkingly wealthy, and he doesn't know what to do with the money?She asked again, acting like she doesn't really care about the man, other than his money.Besides, who cares, about him and his family, all I want is the money, that will come to me.Truth be told, you know, with my kind of lifestyle I know, no one will want to marry me, and since I am also not planning to give myself to some man, I better make good use of my youthful age, get all the money I can make, and move".Her friend laughed to her heart content.She kept clapping her hands, as if the tale is a crazy one.What is so funny?Megan asked.She is already getting angry, that her friend, is laughing at her."It sounds so doable in you mouth, but I guess you have not heard, that they are falling apart, and the press have different things to say about what is happening.His wife is in coma, and his sons, will soon start looking for you".She explains further.This time it was Megan's turn to laugh.She is not seeing anything serious in the case, for she never took Charles serious.She never goes out to any public function with him.She have always been his underground girlfriend, and she loves it that way.She just wants to keep the child, else, she would have opted for an abortion."Why will they be looking for me, when the world doesn't even know me.Am I the one that asked Mrs Charles, to run into an incoming vehicle?She asked, while she continued laughing."I guess you really don't get the point, but maybe if you see what the papers are saying, you will understand better".She tells her, as she threw her, the day's news.Though her face is not there, but the world is saying crazy things about her.She opened her mouth in shock, she just cannot believe her eyes."But they don't know me".She expressed herself, as she opened her hands, showing off her palms in innocence."They don't have to know you, what you don't understand now is that, he has told his wife about you, and also the fact that you are pregnant for him, must have raised dust at their house".She is once again shocked, as she could not explain what is really happening, and how things went from secret relationship to public knowledge."I just told him about the pregnancy, because I want him to take responsibility"."Now things are going to get crazier, as his last son, has planned to go to the press, and tell them everything".Megan still looks confused."What do you mean, by tell them everything?"Don't worry, when you watch his press conference tomorrow, then you will understand better.He wants to ruin his father's reputation"."I was going to say just that.The reason I have kept my relationship a secret with him, was because I didn't want to ruin his life, but why will his own son, try to destroy him?"That is a question for later, for now, I will advise, that you pipe low, don't call Charles, now is not a good time, just remain calm, and act like you have been acting".Megan is not even worried, for herself, she is worried, for Charles.As she watch her friend Natasha, leave her room, she could think of only one thing.Charles, and how the publicity would affect him.She didn't take her friend's advise, she called his number.When it started ringing, she wanted to end the call immediately, but changed her mind later.Each ring was scary to her, for she doesn't know what to expect.Maybe she is the only prostitute with a conscience.She feels bad for what she is reading in the paper.The ringing came to a stop, without him taking it, and that is another alert, that things are not normal.He never sees her call, and ignores her.She didn't bother calling him again, she turned on the TV, and she is shocked, that Natasha was right.The world is talking about her.Though they don't know her name yet, but it won't be long, before they will give her a name, and put a face, to the name.It will make her popular, but it will destroy the one man, that have changed her life for good."I need to leave town".She said to herself.She touched her Stomach, before walking into her room, and started packing a few things.She is going to leave Capricorn, and move to another city, where she will start her life all over again, she doesn't have to be seen, for she will feel bad, if Charles have to go through a rough patch, because of what she told him.If she had known, she wouldn't have told him about her pregnancy.She remembered how he reacted when she told him.She thought he would be angry, but somehow, he had been very happy, and had told her, that he is going to show her to the world.She thought it was a joke, until now, that everything has gone crazy.She looked at her phone for the last time, and then, deleted his number from her phone.If she is sure, she cannot reach him, then she will just have to move on with her life.Since she shares the house with her friend, she left her a note.Just deleting Charles number, may not be enough, so what she did, was to remove her card, and left.With that, she is sure, that her friend, and Charles, won't be able to reach out to her.She knows that she is going to miss him, but the money in her account, is enough, to help her through with life.Taking care of her baby, won't be an issue.Edward is worried as he kept getting messages about his brother's violence towards their father.He might have to come back home without finishing his program.Maybe he is going to join the next batch.He too, packed his things, and is about to leave, when he decided to pause, and think about it again.Just one woman have been able to destroy his family so much, within the space of some hours.He has tried reaching his brother many times, but he doesn't seem to be Interested in taking his call.He decided to call his father before taking the move to leave the United kingdom, for the United States.Mr Charles, picked his call, on the first ring."How is mother?He tried to sound calm, even though he could see what is happening, in his family, just with the news."She is responding to treatment, soon she should be better".He said.Though he knows why he is calling, for there is no way, he can claim, that he is unaware of the things that are happening."How is Stan?He asked.Maybe he d
Megan is just getting comfortable in the hotel room, when she noticed that she isn't alone in the room.She didn't know she had company, until she switched on the light.She retreated a bit, until she was stopped by a hand, and that was when she realised, someone else, is standing behind her.When she thought that it is just two men, she is feeling a third hand, which means that they are three."Who are you?She managed to ask.As she moved forward, making her way to the door."Don't bother, we are not here to hurt you.Senator Charles sent us.You have to leave town now, so that you can be safe".Megan looked worriedly at them.She knows that she cannot escape from them.Even if they are not from Charles, she doesn't have a choice than to believe them."Why should I run away?She asked."We don't have time for questions, you will understand better later".One of them answered her, and then they led her by the hand, out of the hotel room.By the time she got to the car, she didn't kno
Megan kept watching Edward.he seem to remind her of someone, funny enough, she could not place his face.She seem drawn to him, it almost felt like they have known each other before now, but she is on the run, she shouldn't even be talking to strangers.It has been made clear to her, that she cannot mention him, else she might just end up killing herself.He has done the one he will do for her, all she need to do, is try and get her life back.The money he gave her, should be enough for her, to start her life all over again.She closed her eyes, thinking and wondering at the same time, as to how she ended up in such a mess, but then she opened her eyes and try to dismiss the thought, by staring at the stranger on her bed."He looks familiar".She whispered to herself.Maybe she is thinking too much.Who does she know in the strange country, that she is already feeling he looks familiar, but then, it doesn't have to be in the same area, she have known so many men in her life.Why wou
Megan watch him leave.She was speechless.After all she did for him, how could he just look at her, and walk way, as if she stole something from him?She shook her head and whispered."What a strange guy!She didn't want to touch her stomach again, for fear, that she might just begin to get too emotional.She has been doing that since she woke up from her unconscious state.She wanted to do something different, so she went online, and could see the comment online.Netizens always have a way of giving opinions that no one asked for.They would always act as the high and low judge in cases like this, and there will always be someone to blame.They were calling her all sort of names.Her affair had gone viral.When she was living her life, as lowly prostitute, no one saw her, no one thought she was suffering too much, but just when she hit the jackpot by dating a really wealthy man, who ended up falling for her in a way, they thought she has done something wrong."Messed up society!Sh
Charles held his wife's hand, as she haven't opened her eyes again.Doctors are saying she is in coma, but she seem to be hearing everything that they say.She sometimes let out tears, even with her eyes closed.She also react, whenever their son is expressing his anger.It's as though she wants to stop him, though that she what she would have done if only she would just open her mouth and say something."She is going to be fine".Charles turned to the familiar voice, only to see his friend George.He got up and hugged him.Charles is indeed happy to see his friend.It felt like he finally has someone to explain his reasons for misbehaving.George would never fail to understand.Though he is expecting some real scolding, from him.He is that one friend that would not judge him, but will tell him what he has done wrong."I know what you are going to say.you have told me many times, but I never used to listen to you.Now I feel terrible, I should have listened to you, I feel so bad".G
Stanley was getting angrier, as he went back to his hotel room.He was angry with vertualy everyone he came across.He thought of his father's friend George and the way he defended his father."He must be doing the same thing his father does, he too deserves to be punished".He said to himself, acting like a psycho, but his phone distracted him.He smiled at the phone as the caller is someone, he has been expecting to hear from."Tell me Jones".He spoke into the phone, as soon as he picked up the phone."I know where she lives.funny enough, she is not too far from where your hotel is"."Hahahahahaha".Stan was very happy with what he just heard from Jones.Since he came home, he has been looking for the prostitute, that is responsible for what is happening in his family, simply because,he knows that his father would be hurt, he wants to hurt her.Jones gave him all the information he needs to get and he plans on getting his plans to work before night falls."Now I can sleep, because
It was a light knock on the door.Natasha thought he had changed his mind and come back to her.The pills given to him, won't just cool off like that.She wasn't as happy to get the door, as she had been earlier about getting the door." This man wants to kill me!. She said to herself.She opened the door with fear, but she is shocked to find his son standing by the door.She could have shut the door against him immediately, but he already has one leg inside.There was no need for her to ask him questions, she knows him and she knows why he was at her house." I am not the one you are looking for".She tried to explain herself, but Stan only pushed her off the road." I am glad I finally met the bitch who won't let my father be".Natasha was so scared.She knew she should try and escape.Stanley is very dangerous.She could very well tell, from what he was doing to his father.She made to reach out to the bathroom, but Stanley was quick to grab her by the hair."Not so fast bitch!He
By the time Charles got home, he was too angry with himself.The fact that he had been in the bathroom for over an hour, he was still not as calm as supposed." How did my life get so messed up?He asked out loud.He started jerking himself once again.If his wife was not in the hospital and in a coma, he would have taken the opportunity to be Intimate with her.She would have loved it so much.Sex was one of the reasons for their fights.He would always refuse her, while he goes off to have fun with Megan.After releasing in the bathroom for the fourth time, since he came back home, he finally felt okay.He went into his room to relax, but he just couldn't.He didn't want to call anyone, so he went into the kitchen himself to get what he needed.He was feeling too hungry and very weak, who wouldn't feel weak and hungry?He was still chewing the bread he had in hand, when he heard a knock on the door."Who could that be at such an ungodly hour?He asked out loud. He just walked in fr
Realizing she wasn't dreaming, and Edward is actually hugging her right at the moment, she cried. "I am so happy to see you, and I am glad, you are okay, but you cannot be here". Edward didn't want to hear such negativity, so he told her. "I am here now, and I am not going back. There is a boat just few miles from here, it will take us to the country side, we could start our lives from there, no one will find us there, I promise". He sounds very convincing, but Megan is scared, not for herself, but for him. She knows what Charles would have done to Mathew and Marcus, if they hadn't complied. And saying no one would find them, was not true, because, Charles would find her anywhere. it almost feels like he has a chip in her skin, monitoring her every move."We need to leave now". He showed her a dress, she will change into, and a golden wig, that will make her look different, so she could pass the guards. Looking at all she needed to do, to get her freedom back, she felt happy, but bef
Stanley got back home and was told how every went. He was happy that his mother has made the right decision for the first time in years. He also heard that his brother had to leave immediately, and was also told, he had a fight with their father before he left."I miss your brother already, and I feel I have lost him, to all this drama happening". She cries, especially the way they parted ways. "I will be here for you, don't worry". he tells her. Already he plans to hurt his father, and since he came back without any of his guards around, he sent some of his men, to hurt him.He just needs to see his father grunt and cry in pain, even if it's for once. After he was sure his mother was sleeping, and his father had started leaving the house, he called his men, and they doubled cross him, and beat him mercilessly. He thought they were thieves, and are after money, but they didn't steal anything from him, they were just there to hurt him. After they were done, he was soaked in his own
Edward got to the hospital, and decided to watch every move from afar. He found only a guard outside the hospital, and could already tell that they are watching over Megan. If he is able to get Megan out, he wouldn't need his name anymore, he wouldn't want his name being dragged, more than it is currently being dragged.although, no one really knows him, as a member of the Charles family. It was getting late, so he decided to get in and act like he was there to visit someone. But who? He didn't have a name, he noticed that It is big hospital, if he goes there, without a name, it would have an effect on his plans, because he will be kicked out, or the securities will be called on him. Suddenly, he sees two ladies come out, they were crying, he watched for a while, trying to hear what they were saying, if they will say something he could use, but they were just using pronoun to refer to the person they were talking about. They were his only link, so, he summons all the courage he coul
Edward got to Canaboo. The journey down there was longer than usual that he wish he could turn to a wizard,where he could just find himself in the village within a twinkle of an eye. When he got to Canaboo, He realized that his first line of action, will be to go and went to see Marcus and Mathew, he wanted to hear what they think of the call they had with Megan. He remembers that Megan mentioned she called them already. He was lucky to find the both of them together. "I think the call was staged, and though she was acting as though she was happy, I could tell that she isn't happy". Marcus tells him."We decided not to call you because she warned us to tell you to stay away, and we know telling you to stay away would be harder over the phone, but we know you would come around soon, especially when you don't see the news anymore". Mathew added.Edward nodded, understanding just how crazy the situation will get soon, and the only thing that could ease the pain in his heart, was to sa
Edward went back into the house, the faces of the people inside didn't look happy, so he could already guess that they didn't arrive at a compromise. He knew they could never arrive at a compromise, everyone had come together, just because George pleaded, that they should give it a trial."I need to go back, something has come up, that needs my urgent attention". Charles wanted to have a moment with his son. He haven't seen his son for years, and now that he was seeing him, they are not speaking to each other."Edward, can we see briefly outside? He asked politely. Edward wanted to refuse, to him, he feels like going back to Canaboo immediately, but he could spear a moment, he followed him outside, while George stayed back with his mother."I know all this is weighing you down, and your mother is more worried about you, because you are not talking, and reacting like your brother". Edward cut him short."I have problems of my own, I cannot live my life, thinking about you both. You hav
Edward was shocked to hear the voice of the one woman he had been looking for, and to think that she was the one calling all the while, and he refused to take the call, but it wasn't her line. He thought, but then again, she was not with her phone, she had dropped her phone, and Marcus had taken it, but at the moment, he was too happy to speak, he rushed outside, to have a more quiet environment to speak to her, and understand what really happened. "Where the hell have you been? Was all he could say, but she swallowed hard, allowing a tear to drop. Hearing his voice seem like a dream, but it was a dream come through for her."I wish I can see you, so I could tell you everything, but a lot has happened, and I messaged Marcus and Mathew, but I guess you aren't around. The father of my child showed up after that day I left the hotel, he was too furious, that he seized my phone, and have me locked up. He wouldn't let me go out. He made me tell Marcus and Mathew to stop the search, neve
Edward saw the call, but the chaos in the house, between his brother and father was too much that he decided that since he didn't know the number, and it isn't save in his phone, there is no need taking the call."Saying sorry is not enough old man, and even if every other person in this house forgives you, I will never forgive you. To me, you are not my father, and I don't know anything about you. I don't know whom you are, all I know is that you are a promiscuous man, who loves bringing shame to this family". His voice was harsh, but Charles didn't respond to him, he was more interested in knowing what his wife wanted, and what she was going to say."Rosaline, I am so sorry, and I know I could never do right by you, I am not worthy of you and I am not asking you not to divorce me, all I am asking is that you find it in your heart to forgive me, for all the things i have done to you, all these years. You don't deserve such. You are such a good person, and you have given me nothing b
Megan was already up before her next medication, she seem to have known when they will come to check on her, and she was seated. She wanted them to know that she is strong, and she is ready to leave. If she is going to be without communication, it would be best, she stays at the hotel, where she could at least see people, and eat good food, not food that looks like she is taking drugs.She was lucky to find a new nurse, she looked petite, and she seem to have been crying. Most petite girls look sad, but this particular nurse, doesn't just look sad, she is definitely angry about something.Megan decided to speak with her, maybe she will be her helper, that one help she have been seeking for so long. All she needs is a minute to call Edward. Why was she even calling Edward. She had told Marcus and Mathew to let him know that she was fine and he shouldn't bother trying to reach her, but here she is, eager to reach him. She knows that if Charles find out that she have been trying to rea
George was at the port, waiting for Charles to land. He was somehow, happy to see his friend, even though he feared that, he might have only come home, to tell everyone to their faces that the marriage was not going to work. If he said that, will that favor him in anyway? They are both his friend, and he wants them to be happy. As Charles approach him, he let a smile cut across his face."Welcome home friend". He says and they shook hands. The Camera flash on their faces spoke volume as to how unsafe they are as public figures. It is even more unsafe, if there is no guard around him, some will get so comfortable as to want him to grant interviews on the road. "This is one of the reasons, I hate coming home". Charles says, with a chuckle, and they both had a hard laugh, before getting into the waiting car."They world wants to know what is going on with you all the time, which is why, you cannot keep giving them something to say about you. If it is possible, you keep a clean slate". G
