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

_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
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 "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

_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 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 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 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."

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
