CHAPTER 9. SUDDEN TWIST OF FATE

Antonio's POV

5 months later

It has been 5 months since I got back from Italy and I can say it has been quite hard for me. I tried to work things out with Hannah but we ended up breaking up. It wasn't worth it at all. I couldn't get over Megan. One time I called her Megan when we were having sex. The whole relationship was a wrong ordeal altogether.

I went to look for Megan after I broke things off with Hannah but I couldn't find her at her place. I even went to look for her sister at her school but I couldn't find her and the school also said they don't give information about their students to strangers or none family members. I have even sent my goons out to look for her but they haven't come out with anything yet. I just miss her and I want to be with her. I used to think Hannah was the one for me but she wasn't, I even wanted to propose her when I got back but I chose against it. She wasn't the one for me but the maid I had lived with for a couple or years, the one I wanted to use to put up a front and the one who rejected me and went away from me is the one I want. She is the one for me and I am not going to rest till I find her.

She is the only missing part that my life needs to be complete. After my 35th birthday 2 months ago I told my dad that he can give whoever he wants his inheritance because the one I love left me and I can't get married to anyone else. It was quite a surprise to him since he knew I would never let him give away his empire. It was hard for me to make that decision but how could I not. I couldn't even keep Megan here with me, I let her go so easy without fighting for her even when I knew she was the one my heart had chosen.

I heard my phone ring a text message notification and it was Mancho one of my goons I had sent on a search spree for Megan. I saw it was a picture message and when I was about to open the message he sent he called,

M📲: Boss did you see the pictures I sent you?

A📱: I was about to when you called, what's it about.

M📲: Boss I found her. She's here in Venice.

A📱: What? I am getting on the jet with immediate effect I will see you there?

M📲: But boss she looks different. You might not like this?

A📱:Okay, you'll explain to me when I get there. I'll be there in a couple of hours.

I cut the phone and called the pilot to prepare the jet before I left my office. I didn't even think of going home. I just went straight the airport. I later viewed the picture which Mancho sent me and it was Megan but she looked a bit different. She had cut her hair short and dyed it black. She was driving but I could tell she had gained a little weight. The other pictures she was sitting at a coffee shop with another guy in front of her. She looked like she was enjoying his company a lot. I clenched my fist and gnashed my teeth, I swear if I was anywhere near that guy I would have punched the teeth out of his mouth. I couldn't even view the rest of them. I was already fuming.

When we got off the jet Mancho was already waiting for me. We greeted each other. "Do you have her address?" That's all I could ask when we where getting in the car as we drove off from the airport. "Yes boss, I will take you there whenever you are ready." He said as he kept his eyes glued on the road. "I want to go there now. I want to see her as soon as possible." I said and he could tell I was trying really hard to control my temper and he swallowed a bit hard. He knew talking to me about anything at this point would be useless since I was angry. "Okay, in 10 minutes time we will be there. Just relax a bit." he said and I just looked at him without saying anything.

The whole 10 minutes to wherever we where going I was deep in thoughts because I was thinking if Mancho meant she has a boyfriend when he said might I not like this. I didn't want to ask him because already I was going to face whatever he meant in a few minutes. It started raining and by the time we reached her place it was raining cats and dogs. It was also a bit cold and I knew very well there was not a fucking umbrella in the car. I saw Mancho look at me when a thunder roared after he had told me we had arrived.

"Okay, just stay in here, I don't want to freak her out even more by just seeing me here on her doorstep." I said to him and he laughed. "Boss, I wasn't even thinking of following you. I don't want to get myself wet." he said and continued laughing. "You are crazy you know that right?!" I said and stepped out of the car. I knocked once, then twice and now when I was about to knock for a third time the door opened and guess what, it was the fucking guy from the picture who opened the stupid door. I really wanted to punch him but I kept my cool.

" Hello. Is Megan here?" I asked and I couldn't even fake a smile. I had a dead serious look. "Yes she is here. She didn't say she is expecting anyone though." he said with a huge grin on his face. Then he shouted from the door for Megan and I heard her answer that she was coming. Then I saw this freak looking really close to my face as if he noticed something and it was really making me uncomfortable. He took out his phone, and placed it on face, I think to match the image on the phone. "Wait a minute, are you not Antonio Rodriguez?" he said and before I could answer this dummy I heard a voice speak behind him, the melodic voice that I have missed so much. "Antonio? What are you doing here and how did you find me?" Megan asked and this idiot moved away from the door.

"I came to see you Megan." I answered and as I scanned her to her stomach where I saw a baby bump. Nothing had prepared me for what I was just witnessing that very moment. How could she be pregnant? I just left her literally 5 months ago. I wished I had asked Mancho what I was going to see before I got here. "I am sorry Antonio, please come in. You are soaked." she said and ran to get a towel to give me. As I stood there I heard the other guy whispering to her and he couldn't even hide his joy which made me wonder. "I can't believe "The Antonio Rodriguez" is in our house. One of the sexiest man in all of Italy and Spain." he said to Megan who was really trying hard to get him to calm down and ignore his joy of seeing me.

"You know for someone who is trying to whisper for me not to hear, you are really bad at it. You are not doing good job." I said and handed Megan the towel back. "Martin let me take Antonio to the guest bedroom to remove his clothes and then dry his clothes. Bring him some of your clothes cause I know he didn't bring any." she told the guy and took me upstairs. To be frank I wasn't going to wear her boyfriend's clothes. "Is he the reason why you left Rome?" I asked in a low voice but enough to make her hear that I was pissed off. "Excuse me, what?" She turned her head a bit to look at me. "Why did you leave Rome? Huh. I just let you go and you just started to fuck around, is that it. You wanted me fuck you and break your virginity to give you the pleasure to and fuck the next guy, is that so?" I was getting more and more frustrated.

"Is he the father?" I continued barking as I removed my wet clothes. "You must be joking with me Antonio." she said going to answer the door which had been knocked. She was handed the clothes and closed the door. "Here, wear this?" she said it as she threw the clothes on my naked body as lie on the couch. "I am not wearing your boyfriend's clothes." I said not looking at her." It's hard to take you serious when you are naked. Call me when you wear the clothes. I am not going to do this. I am not in the mood to fight with you. It's either you wear the clothes or you wear your wet clothes and get the fuck out of my house." she said going to the door about to go out. I ran to grab her hand." It's fine, I will wear the clothes. Just please go and sit down. " She went to sit down and I quickly wore the clothes.

I stood at the window and she just looked at me." Why are you here Antonio?" she asked giving me a death stare. I had to keep my cool. I don't know why I just tolerated her." Why did you look for me?" I didn't say anything except look at her and sigh. "You are going to have to answer me at some point Antonio. I know very well that you didn't come all the way from Rome just to look at me." she said and relaxed her facial features a bit. I took a deep sigh, "Is Martin the father of your baby Megan? " I asked but I could hear myself that I sounded deafeted.

"He's not the father of my baby Antonio. Please answer my questions." she said with a serious face. "If he's not, why is he here? What is he doing in your house?" I had to know I was kind of confused. "He's Mitch's best friend he came to visit for some days and No before you ask they are not a couple. Martin is gay. He's a good kid and I like him. He's not bad influence. So now can you answer me? " she asked with one eyebrow up and her mouth pouted. I swear, it took everything in me not to kiss her.

"I came because I want you. I want to take you home. To our home. I want to do right by you. They say if you love someone let them go and if they come back to you they were meant for you to begin with but you, you never came back Megan. You didn't come back Megan and I wanted you to come back so bad. So I decided to come to you instead. You let me go at first and now I am back to you. I know it's a little too late to come but I am here now. I know you might just need a little more time to deal with the fact that I should have treated you right and you are more than justified. I love you Megan. Please give me a chance to prove that. " I looked at her and she just looked sad.

"I can't love you. I can't keep up with you. Your lifestyle is not one that I keep up with or one that I want to be part of. I can't deal with you sleeping around all the time. Seeing you with a new girl every week, I don't want to be your one week romance. I am different from the girls you hook up with. I am sorry about that. I won't allow you to take away dignity, strip another piece of me and then afterwards never show me sympathy. " I was hurt by what she said. She doesn't know how much she means to me.

"Don't say that please my love. How many fires must I go through before it finally rains because when you left me it burnt. I don't like the silence living in between us. I didn't like feeling when I saw you with this baby bump, it made me jealous to think you have been with someone long enough to get pregnant and carry the baby. I don't like the way you are closing down when I am telling you my feelings. Every time I want to talk to you, you make it so impossible. Even when I am innocent you are holding me responsible. Give me a chance to prove what I can do. This baby will be my baby. I will take care of him and give him everything he needs. Where is the father, does he want to be part of his life? " I could feel myself getting emotional as I saw her eyes tearing up when I started to ask about the father of the baby.

Why does she get all emotional when I ask about the baby daddy. I don't understand. I pushed myself to her side and put her in my arms. "it's fine my love, don't cry. Weep no more my Baby. I won't leave till I understand. I am here now and I am not going anywhere. I know the clouds have been grey but I am here now. No one will ever hurt you again." I said and I kissed her forehead over and over again. I could hear her cry quietly.

"Promise me you won't be mad if I tell you who the father is. Please?" she said lifting her head to look me in the eyes. "I won't be mad my love. Even if I know him, I won't be made. Does he still want to be part of his life?" I said because at this point I don't care I just want my woman. "He doesn't know that I am carrying his baby. I didn't tell him. When I wanted to go tell him I found out that he was dating another woman, he had gone back to his EX, so I chose not to tell him. There was no point in telling him if he had moved on, or shall I say moved back. It wasn't going to change anything after all." she said it looking at me deep in my eyes. Then she stood from the bed and went to look at the window and looked outside. I could feel that loss in arms, that I was hugging someone that completed me, my better half.

"Maybe it would have changed him if you had gone to tell him. So where is he now and how far are you?" I asked her and followed her to where she was standing and hugged from behind. "I am 5 months pregnant Antonio." She said and the look she gave me I didn't understand. "5 months? Okay? Where is he now?" I asked because if she is 5 months pregnant that means I have a possibility of being the father of the child she is carrying because I left her exactly 5 months ago.

"I am looking at the him. I am looking at the father of my unborn child. It's you Antonio, it is your child that I am carrying." She said bursting into tears and crying. Then she stormed out of the room crying. I ran after her and I couldn't find her. It was like she disappeared into thin air.

I started calling her name then I heard Martin answering me,"In here Antonio, she's in here lover boy." I followed the voice and I saw her crying while Martin calmed her down. "I think she needs to take a breath. Can we talk Antonio, outside please." He asked as he stood up from the couch. "I am coming dear." he said patting Megan on the shoulder and we exited the room.
