I have waited for you Chapter 46 The Club
_Neon I paced the penthouse floor, too hyped up to sit still. I just received a call from my uncle that Meghan was discharged from the hospital. There was nothing to hold her for the night. Except being mentally exhausted and confused. She needed to continue seeing someone about her grieving process. She was not In any danger health wise that was alarming. I took off my tie and got rid of the jacket, it had been a long day from the beginning right through the end. My uncle walked into the front door, bone tired. As soon as he saw me, his face lit up into a grin."I can't say I remember the last time you were this happy to see me." I teased."I bought us Chinese takeouts. Switch on the television. I went past the Pablo mansion, The place is a nightmare, it's crawling with journalists." "What were you doing there, I thought we agreed we wait to see it on the news.""I was afraid they didn't make it to the news. I couldn't help myself." He spread his hands in front of him. He was a s

_MeghanMy head bounded in my ears and the music was too loud. I needed a moment to gather my thoughts, everything was moving too fast. The last coherent thought I had was dancing with the sexy guy on the dance floor, then we sat for some drinks and now I was feeling woozy. He was dragging me into the dim light corner and I needed to think. "Stop. I need a minute." my head."We don't have a minute, keep walking," he said and I tried focusing on his face but his face kept moving out of his other face. The dimness wasn't helping much. Suddenly I felt tired. "I'm gonna sit.""You want me to carry you? Get the fuck up, we need to get out of here." shivers ran down my spine. "The lady said she's tired. She's not going anywhere with you." Another voice said. Only if my ears could stop ringing, maybe I could concentrate on what was happening."Shut the fuck up, man. I'm not talking to you, why don't you mind your own business." I didn't hear what the second guy said, but I heard the fir

_Neon The cat was out of the bag. I pinned my gaze on Meghan. She was still in that purple cloth. Now that she was sitting down, it had ridden up her thighs. But because of the atmosphere in the room, I didn't think anyone noticed, but scanning around the room, told me how wrong I was. Meghan was looking between me and Noami, with an unreadable expression on her face. I wanted to reach and touch her hand but with the way I was tied up, it was impossible. "You brought us here, to tell us about your dead son?" I said out loud and cut off Pablo's narration.He stopped talking and shot his gaze at me, his patience waning thin. "I never took you for a rude man, Mr Petrov. Your father is certainly not a rude man.""You leave my father out of your mouth." My nose flared. I had to remember to keep calm. He wanted a reaction."I'm afraid that is impossible. You see, your father and I used to work hand in hand in the brotherhood. When I came to London, I started my empire, not forgetting to
I have waited for you Chapter 49 Million Dollar Smile.
_Meghan I opened the door to the Eatery and Francois looked up from behind the counter. His face broke into a smile when he saw me. "I never thought I would see you here again."He walked over to hug me. He still looked the same and not much had changed in the few months I had been away."I would never forget this place, I was the best dishwasher you'd ever had.""And that you were." He gave me a pat on my shoulder.I looked around the place. It was still early for morning customers. After storming out of the hotel, I didn't know where else to go so I gave the taxi driver the first address that came to mind. "Where is everyone?" I gestured with my hand."You mean, where is Dave?" he winked at me and shook his head. Amused. "He's is at the back, he would be happy to see you." He said. "Thanks, Francois." I gave him a little shove and walked to the kitchen at the back of the Eatety, and true to form when I stood at the entrance of the kitchen, Dave was sitting down with a cup of cof
I have waited for you Chapter 50 Mini Strip Tease
_Meghan After Jonathan showed up, Alicia took the opportunity to excuse herself. I knew she was fed up with the work, so it was just me and Jonathan to finish the project. He didn't seem to mind the work. He was, after all, a handyman, so this kind of work must have been something he did on a daily. I chatted up with the sexy handyman, who seemed to return my energy. In no time at all, we were packing up our brushes and clearing away. Jonathan asked me to join him for lunch and I bit my lips, I didn't mind having lunch,I had too much free time and a lot of things that needed forgetting and the sexy young man was doing a great job helping me. We hopped into his car, which was pretty good for a handyman, and I said as much. He must have been making a killing working odd jobs. "Nice car for a handyman," I said "What did you expect? a dirty car, full of tools?" he asked with a raised eyebrow, and the dimple on his left cheek appeared. He was pretty clean too. I couldn't help but loo
I have waited for you Chapter 51 Not Convinced.
_Meghan When the limousine stopped, we were in front of a beautiful mansion, surrounded by acres of lush green. Neon bugled his pants and tucked his shirt. I rearranged my skirt and tried to look as presentable as I possibly could. My face felt hot and Neon's face was flushed and his hair tussled. I smoothed it for him and gave him a thumbs-up. He gave me one final look before taping on the glass divider. And a few seconds later the door opened. Once I stood on the solid paving, my legs felt shaky and I held onto his hands for support and to catch my breath. The house was breathtaking. "Are you ready?" he asked."For what?" I looked around us. "To see your new home." I looked at him and then the house again. It could have been about ten thousand square feet of exquisite sight. And he said it was all mine. I couldn't help but mentally note that it was bigger than Adelita's house and very modern. All the staff of the mansion were lined up on the stairs leading to the front entra
I have waited for you Chapter 52 To Hell and Back
_Meghan We walked around the mansion for a good half an hour. I couldn't fault anything. Neon knew me too well, it ticked all my boxes. The house was beautiful and I could see myself living here. The only problem was, the pink elephant in the room, that was following us and I was as sure as hell going to ignore it. After much walking, Neon stood next to a door and looked back at me."This is the master bedroom." he seemed pleased with himself, as he should. "Oh..." I mused behind him. He was certain that we would be sharing a room. After the incident on our way here, any man in their right mind would have thought the same thing. He had a right to assume I was ripe for the picking. But was I ripe for the picking? Did I want to be ripe? I rolled my eyes to the heavens and walked in behind him as he opened the door. I was overthinking. It felt good to be ripe. Shush Meghan focus...The room looked like a page from the honeymoon delights issue. The bed alone was enough to give anyone,
I have waited for you Chapter 53 Boris.
_MeghanWe made it to st. Petersburg in the early hours of the morning. What a time to visit. The landscape was beautiful, every itch covered in snow. I could not bring myself to go to bed and miss the snowfall. "It's laying it thick," I called out to Neon while still looking outside our window."It will most likely last the whole day. It's a terrible time to be outside right now, I wouldn't wish it on anyone." Neon covered his head with the thick covers. He hadn't gotten out of bed since we arrived, which was unusual for him. He hadn't been as interested in the snow as I was, at least Ethan had shown a bit of interest before sleep took over.Neon said he had seen it snow all his life while growing up. I had seen snow before but it never failed to fascinate me. The week following the purchase of the new house, things moved at the speed of light. Vera called almost every night to confirm when we would be able to visit for a day or two. My only guess was that the family hadn't gotte

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
