I have waited for you Chapter 10 Rest Easy
_Neon Meghan walked back inside the house with a brave face on, but there was a look of pure terror behind her eyes when I told her to terminate the pregnancy. It was full of misery. She was trying so hard to appear unfazed but even the way her shoulders sagged sold her out. I wondered for a second if that meant she was sure that I was the father. In that case, I would rather there was no baby than have a baby get lost in the system once realization sank in. "Oh." she looked shell-shocked and her voice sounded like it was coming from anywhere but her. I must have looked like that the day the doctor told me about her pregnancy. "How far along was she?" I had asked the aging doctor."Eight weeks, if she makes a full recovery, she should be able to carry to term." eight weeks didn't help with anything because that was when we had been intimate and the time the attack had taken place."Are you saying she might not make it?" "She will. But I'm not so sure about the baby. It's too early

_Neon The Oriental Hotel where the Christmas party was being held bustled with Christmas cheer. It was Petrov's annual Christmas party and everything looked like it was from a postcard, a very fancy Christmas postcard. I was sitting on one of the barstools at the bar with some of the executives from the company, enduring a boring conversation. The room was swilling with excitement. For this year's festivities, the party planner had included a live band. It was a time to let loose and forget about all things work-related. I on the other hand was doing anything but letting loose. It had been seven months, two weeks, and a few hours. I was not interested in what was happening at the dance floor and even less interested in the conversation I could not concentrate on. I nodded to the gentleman at the bar and left to take a seat at the far side of the room and watched as the employees of Petrov Ltd blew my money. They were not the only ones blowing it, but they were entitled to it, and w

_Neon Ethan had been home for three weeks now, and each day he was getting more handsome. I spent every hour I could spare with him. The nannies that I had hired said he was a joy to be around. After work, I took him to my study and went over the paperwork with him, explaining to him how the business worked, everything from management to the janitor. I told him that one day, he would be running the Petrov Ltd, and if he was lucky enough his uncles would teach him a thing or two about properties. In our daily talks, I never mentioned anything about Meghan, because sometimes when I looked at Ethan, I saw Meghan's eyes staring back at me. I could not believe we had created such a miracle. I didn't have the strength to have a DNA done to put my mind at ease. If I did and it turned out Ethan was not mine, I wasn't sure I could take another heartbreak. My mind had wondered and Ethan noticed. He started crying, I wasn't sure if he saw the look on my face or because he was tired. A soft

_MeghanI walked into the back of the eatery, today was our first day back since the place got flooded by the water from upstairs. Everything looked as it was before only it was new and better. I took out two cups for me and Dave. Since he had not yet arrived I was by myself in the kitchen. The coffee machine was already on and brewing the magic beans. Francois was the first one to open the shop, he switched on the machine before any of us got to work. I poured myself the steaming liquid and sat down next to the workbench. I leaned back on my chair and stretched, this here, was the best part about the morning ritual. We started our mornings like this, with nothing but coffee and silence. It was always the calm before the storm. "Dollface?" Francois called from the door. I opened my eyes a crack and looked at him, I hadn't heard him come in and had my eyes closed, enjoying the calmness that I was now addicted to. "I didn't hear you come in," I said putting my cup on the workbench in

_Neon Sylvia knocked and entered my office, she looked around the spacious office when she didn't see me at my usual spot. Behind the desk. I was making use of my spacious office. The interior designer had set up a lounging area that I've only used a handful of times. Now that I was sitting on the soft suede-long couch. It was worth the money. "I'm right here, what got you so worked up?" She looked like she had been running. "I didn't see you there," she raised her eyebrow. "I don't think I've ever seen you use that side of the office." I laughed at her comment. She came closer to the couch and looked at the old file in my hands. She brought her hand to my forehead. "Are you sure you're okay, You've been different lately.""Not sure I know what you mean. Mind telling me what was chasing you just now?"Yes. Peter is outside." I must have given her a confused look because she shrugged again. "He says it's urgent.""Old Peter?" she nodded her head. Peter was my accountant and I've bee

_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 Epilogue
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
I have waited for you Chapter 54 shotgun wedding.
_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
