I have waited for you Chapter 15 Mrs. Petrov.
_Meghan.The day I came back to work, I walked into the kitchen and found Dave already pouring himself a cup of coffee. "Can I also have some, I'm the one who's late this morning," I said standing at the door. When Dave swung around, I knew he had not expected to see me there from the look on his face but he quickly composed himself.When he walked up to me, he had a grin on and pulled me into a tight hug. I wrapped my hands around his waist and leaned on his chest. He smelled good, smelled like a man. Some days it was harder to stick to my convictions than most, especially when he was brushing my hair in slow strokes like he was now. Making me feel delicate, like a flower."What are you doing here?" He asked in a soft voice above my head. "I had to work, I was gonna go mad if I stayed another day in my flat." I tried pulling away, I was enjoying the attention a bit much and it was making me needy. But he tightened his grip."I was so worried about you. Tonight I'm taking you to my p

_Neon The day Adelita showed up at my office. I knew someone has been feeding her information. "I see you still where I left you." She said as soon as she stepped inside my office. "Adelita," I said as I got up to kiss her cheeks. "You are a hard woman to find.""I'm sure if you looked hard enough you would have found me." She shot back. "What brings you to London?" I kept my eyes on her face as I took my seat again opposite her. "I was in the neighborhood and thought I should drop in and say hi, seeing how you've been looking for me." She was amused by my failures to find her. "Neighborhood huh?" That was a load of bullshit. But I thought it was better to indulge her. "How are you finding our humble neighborhood?"Anyone listening to would never have guessed we were man and wife. We were just two total strangers. "It's okay, maybe too dull for my liking." No lie there. "What brings you here Adelita?" I asked seriously. "Can't a wife come and see her husband without a reason?

_Meghan"Dollface, someone is here to see you," Francois spoke from the door of the kitchen. His posture raised alarm bells in my system. "Me?" I asked, feeling a chill run down my whole body. With my recent luck, I wouldn't be surprised if it was the cops coming to arrest me for neglecting my baby."Yes." His voice was not very reassuring. In all the time I've been at the Eatery, no one knew who I was and no one from my past knew where I worked. I had cut all contact with my friends. Only if Ben hadn't stumbled upon me the other day, I would still be a ghost. "Are you sure Francois?" I asked again as I took off the apron I had put on not so long ago and smoothed my top. My eyes went to Dave, who hadn't moved his gaze from us, his jaw had gone tense and he was holding the spatula too tight. He had lost interest in what he was doing. "Are you not Meghan Adams?" Francois asked and I nodded stiffly. Surely Ben would not come back for another scene."Then come along." I put his hand on
I have waited for you Chapter 18 What a Man
_Meghan When I was finally able to make it to the kitchen, Dave was waiting for me. "Everything okay?" he asked as soon as I walked in. "Yes. Everything is just peachy." I hated lying to him but at the same time, I didn't want to involve him in my drama with Neon. And I didn't want to think about what Neon had said. I wanted to be with Ethan but not under Neon's thumb.I had to find a way of securing Ethan's future that did not require us to be under the same roof. The rest of the day went without any episodes, only with Dave's gaze burning a hole into my back. I knew he was looking at me but I tried to focus on my work. Stealing side glances at him when I cleared his workstation. If Chef felt the tension in the kitchen, he was too polite to say anything or the man was just too busy to notice. The atmosphere was choking. When the afternoon traffic eased. Francois walked into the kitchen and leaned back against the wall with his hands in his pockets. I stopped what I was doing an

_Meghan. After the initial shock, I began to calm down. Although I couldn't still explain what happened. The events didn't even make sense to me. I had been looking forward to seeing Ethan for months now and when I finally got the opportunity, I had a breakdown of some sort. "You scared me there." Neon who had been watching me like a hawk finally said. "How about you go upstairs and take a long bath and I'll ask Simon to bring your dinner." I cleared my throat and nodded. "Maybe we can talk then, are you going to be here tonight?"I didn't want to assume anything. He looked like a god in a suit, and with his wife in town, I'm sure he had places to be and a face to see. "I will be here, but I thought you might want to relax, besides we still have time.""We don't." I said stiffly."What changed, between this afternoon and now?" He had a puzzled look on his face"Nothing changed. I just want to go to work, that's all." I still needed my freedom, rich man had a way of offering false s
I have waited for you Chapter 20 Extra Security Measures
_Meghan Getting the massage done without falling into the trap was no easy feat. Afterward, I ran into the bathroom and took a shower, I needed to get back into the correct head space. How were we supposed to raise a child under the same roof if we could barely keep our hands off each other for twenty-four hours? I came back to a neat room, the bed had been made and curtains pulled back to let in the morning air. Now I believed Neon when he said, the penthouse was not too big, he could manage on his own. After getting dressed and making myself prettier, I left the room and found Neon in the kitchen. He had changed into a pair of jeans and a tight T-shirt. The outfit did nothing to conceal everything that was underneath. He was on the stove making breakfast when I walked in or more like sauntered in."You look so comfortable there, what are you making?" I walked over and peeked at what was sizzling in the pan, just to get closer and smell him. The man was eye candy and he didn't eve
I have waited for you Chapter 21 We Were Okay
_Neon When I arrived at the penthouse, it was quiet, and I feared my worst nightmare had come true. I walked over to the master bedroom, and to my surprise and delight, Meghan was in bed, From where I standing by the door, she looked like she was napping. I wanted to walk closer and see. But didn't want to risk her waking up to me and Ethan and then shrieking into herself again. Now the only thing was to put Ethan on his safety chair and cook lunch while Mommy slept, she might be more forgiving if there was food around. A knock on the door disturbed my train of thought. The team to set up Ethan's room was already here. It was amazing that Simon had been able to organize everything on such short notice. After showing them the way, they set up to work in the room, a moment later, small pieces of furniture started coming in. Things were moving quicker than I could have managed myself. I, on the other hand, was slaving away on the stove. Hoping that she loved everything I cooked. In

_Meghan I looked at my reflection in the mirror. I was a hypocrite. The past week had been nothing but wonderful at the penthouse, I was making progress with Ethan. It was not as fast as I had hoped it would be but It was still progress. My doctor said to take things slow, it will happen naturally. My son was growing while I waited for things to take their natural course. Neon was wonderful to me, only if he didn't have to be this good. Now I had nothing to fault, except he was someone's husband and possibly ran a harem. His wife probably cried herself to bed while I moaned my way to dawn. I sighed. If I didn't move from the mirror I was at the risk of running late again. Francois would blow a tantrum this time. Yesterday in my rush to make it on time, I had taken off my scarf and my neck was on display for everyone to see. I thought Dave was going to faint from the horror on his face. But luckily he didn't say a word, which made it worse somehow.I turned around to find Neon sta

Eight months later. Later as we watched the sun set above the white sand. I thanked Simon for walking me down the aisle, he beamed at me and walked away. Yes, the funny man was back at the Petrov residence. The wedding reception had been exquisite, but I expected nothing less with Vera planning the whole wedding on the beach, picnic style. Now that the main event was over. The different couples were scattered around the sand enjoying themselves. Vera was sitting with Marcelli. They had danced the day away and now they sat feeding each other what looked like strawberries. After the outburst at the dinner, Vera had filed for a divorce and she and Ivan had gone their separate ways. Something she said was long overdue. She now stayed in Italy with Marcelli, the man she said was the love of her life. Ivan was also in attendance. He was now a single father raising Boris. A difficult task, given that Boris was in his late teens and becoming a young adult. But he had the best team money
I have waited for you Chapter 61 The Morning After.
_Meghan The following morning I woke up to an empty bed. I walked into the ensuite and prepared for what I knew would be a long day. I made my way downstairs and found Vera in a bathrobe sitting on the kitchen table with tea between her hands. "Good morning, dear. Did Neon come home last night?" she asked the minute I walked in. It felt like someone had died. I'd never seen her in a bathrobe before and her face was not done. She had bags under her eyes."No, he still hasn't shown up." I poured myself a cup of coffee, I needed something stronger than tea. "Do you think that's a good idea, I also noticed that last night you were drinking wine. Im sorry I don't mean to pry." She nodded at my coffee cup and blushed scarlet. "Im not pregnant, if that's what you're worried about." I smiled at her in answer to her unasked question. "Oh. I assumed-""The will," I said, knowing full well what she thought. "I never understood why Neon put that clause in there. He had everyone worried for
I have waited for you Chapter 60 Welcome to the family
_Meghan The day had been a beautiful one. I finally had a dress to wear to Ludovic's wedding tomorrow. But I couldn't have done it without Vera's help. She truly had an eye for fashion. When the car drove up to the driveway, I noticed that there was an unusual bursting activity at the house. And there were more cars parked outside. "Are we having guests over tonight?" I pointed to the parked cars."Yes. But it is only family. Neon's Uncles and their better halves are joining us for dinner, it's the least we could do for Ludovic and Miriam." Vera said, picking up her clutch bag. "That is so kind of you and Ivan.""Ludovic insisted that Miriam didn't want any grand parties, so I thought this would just be us having dinner.""She has always been reserved. I can not imagine her in a party." I said, thinking what a pair they made with Ludovic. They fit perfectly together. *** "This is an interesting arrangement." Uncle Alek said as soon as I was seated and Uncle Lev surpassed a laug
I have waited for you Chapter 59 What Just Happened.
_Neon Three weeks flew past fast, and it was already time to go to Ludovic's wedding. We were leaving this evening and I was still at the office going through the last batch of work when the phone rang, reminding me that I needed to get a move on.I took the elevator down to the basement. I was busier than I'd ever been. To make matters worse, I had deadlines I wanted to meet before we started with our wedding preparations, which would start the minute we came back from Ludovic's wedding. But amid the chaos of work and everything, I was happy to report that Boris was doing well in his new environment and with his new nurse. He was joining the family in Russia for the wedding. Nothing was ever without a wrinkle, as Adelita would be in attendance as well. They both had left the previous night. Meghan suggested that we all share a plane. But the thought of enduring a flight to st. Petersburg with Adelita was unthinkable. I was still searching for answers about her wealth and her gener

_Meghan Going to the doctor with Neon would at least get me away from my mother, who was in the party spirit. The car stopped in front of the entrance. Neon got out and opened the passenger door for me."I love this car." I looked at him as I settled into my seat."Does that mean you didn't like the one before this?" he raised an eyebrow."I did. But I like this one more than I liked that one. You get what I mean." I shrugged."I get what you mean. So…how's that headache of yours?" he asked. "On and off." It depended on where I was. "We should still check it out. It may be nothing or it may be something." "So where are you taking me?""To see the doctor." He grinned "Why are you happy?""I have news." he pressed the ignition and the car came to life."OK. Don't keep a girl waiting." I folded my arms over my chest. "I spoke to my lawyer on my way here. I'm looking into buying a pharmaceutical company." he beamed."Oh? Are you interested in the pharmaceutical business?" that was

_Neon I was officially back at the office for the first time after a long time. I parked my car at the underground parking and took a lift to the last floor. When the doors opened, I felt like I'd come home. The layout of the place was still the same. Not much had changed in that regard. But most of the faces were new, including my assistant, who looked like she was ready to bolt the minute she saw me. god, bless his little creatures. "Good Morning," I called out when I passed her desk "Good morning, Mr. Petrov," she replied with a bold voice for someone of her small stature. I couldn't remember her name, it must have been between Maggie and Mandy, but I remember thinking it was close to Meghan. I had to look it up, I didn't like not knowing someone's name. Someone as important as my assistant. Before I could settle down my phone rang."Yes?" I said to the receiver. "A Miss Dowels is here to see, sir. She doesn't have an appointment and she says she not leaving until you see he

_Meghan "My darling baby, I'm so happy to see you." Mom came forward with her arms outstretched. I wanted to return her enthusiasm, even if it was only to make Neon happy but my feet were rooted to the spot. I couldn't move them. When mom hugged me. I felt cold for standing as still as a rod. "It's good to see you too Mom." I led her to the couch and Neon must have seen the tension between us. he left us to catch up or murder each other. As soon as he was out of hearing distance. I sat next to Mom on the couch."what are you doing here, Mom?""Your fiance reached out to me, and I have to say I'm glad he did. I didn't even know I was a grandmother, there is so much to talk about, it cannot be squeezed in just a few minutes. Why did you never come home?""You know why." how could Neon do this to me? "I am your mother, don't you miss your mother?""You hardly knew when I was there or not." "But I have to say, Meghan, you have done well for yourself." she looked around the living ar
I have waited for you Chapter 55 The Surprise
_NeonMy head Felt like I had gone under the knife. I couldn't remember the last time I drank so much, except when I was in college and with my uncle, who, not so long ago had sworn to stop drinking. But last night was understandably a happy occasion. I needed to buy Miriam the biggest wedding gift I could find. How she managed to tie down my uncle was a wonder that we would talk about for years to come. I could only imagine his brother's face when he got to st. Petersburg. What I would give to be a fly in the wall when he explained to everyone that he was settling down and starting a family of his own. I knew my father would be proud of him. As for my other Uncles, that is another story on its own. If they can get over the shock first. I knew for a fact that they were going to tease him about it for all that he was worth. "Still leaking your wounds?" Meghan kicked my leg when she passed me on the couch. "What do they say about kicking a dog when it's down?" I lifted my shades and

_Meghan Finally. Neon had fallen asleep. I hadn't been able to sleep after I woke to find Neon in bed. I decided there was no point in trying. I knew the day would be long. So I might as well prepare for it early. I made my way down the stairs. I was not very familiar with the house, I had only been there for dinner with Ludovic once and there hadn't been much time to do a proper tour of it. But I had a faint idea of where the kitchen might be.Once downstairs, I was about to walk past the dining area when I stopped in my tracks. Adelita was up already. She was feeding Boris. She must have heard me because she turned her neck and looked at me. "Come and watch the freak show closely. You might need something to later report to your street mates." she snarled. Before turning back and focusing her attention on her son. I went back upstairs. I had lost interest in making coffee. What kind of a woman was she? To make jokes like that about her son. When I opened the door. Neon raised
