"A break? Why? And when?" Julie asked."Soon." She answered. "It's not now though, so you can take your time." She added."That is so unlike you. You barely take breaks. Do you want to travel again?" Julie noted."Hmm. Maybe, it's a secret." She shrugged nonchalantly."Do you want to retire or start another business?" Her face was filled with confusion. "But you love interior designing." She continued."I still do but I can only tell you that I am not quitting or retiring. What am I? An old woman?" She joked."So what is the real reason? I know you won't just tell me to hire another worker just like that." His eyes suddenly widened. "Do you want to expand your business? Is that why you need more workers? I thought about it too and the workload is getting much because more deals keep coming in, I was worried that the work would be too much for our workforce to carry it all. Ever the thoughtful CEO, aren't you?" She squealed then hit her lap playfully."Oww!" Megan exclaimed and rubbed

"So what does the result say and when would my surgery be scheduled?" Megan asked. She was currently in the hospital, in the office of her doctor. She was trying to know how this sickness worked and how it could be treated as quickly as possible. She had just taken a test and was waiting for the doctor to tell her the result."Hmm. Your results seem better now that you have started to take your medications but that does not mean you are very safe as tragedy could occur at any time." Her doctor said then continued. "As for your surgery, I still have to monitor you closely to know when the surgery would be needed. I cannot just make rash decisions and would have to monitor you. If anything should occur, I will schedule the surgery as soon as possible."His words sounded assuring and at the same time, they troubled her."So what you are trying to say is that I still have to be monitored closely before I can have surgery? Why can't I not do it now? I am ready to do it now." She said.The
MEGAN'S BEST DEAL: Once Betrayed, Now Desired DON'T MESS WITH ME.
It did not take up to five minutes before she saw Leo striding out from the elevator and towards her, he was with his personal assistant. She smirked in satisfaction and when he reached her, Megan wrapped her hands around his neck and kissed him on his lips, he immediately wrapped his hand around her waist. She pulled back from him and pouted."I missed you, darling." She told him. The receptionist stood up from her chair and her face was filled with fear."I did not expect you to come to my company. You could have told me so I will come and pick you up then you won't have to stress yourself." His dark eyes were on her and he rubbed her hair tenderly with one hand."It is no worry. I thought you were in a meeting. Did I disturb you?" She searched his eyes."No Cara, you did not disturb me. Didn't I tell you that I would do anything for you?" He reminded in a sensual voice."You did." She caressed his cheek gazing up at him. So he meant every word he said to her that day. How did she g
MEGAN'S BEST DEAL: Once Betrayed, Now Desired LAKE COMO.
The door to the office opened and Leo stepped inside. "I am done with the meeting. So where were we?""Impatient much?""Yeah. So what did you come and see me for? Is something wrong?""Why do you always assume something is wrong, Leo.""I am sorry if I offended you. I was only concerned for your well-being.""I forgive you." Megan took a deep breath. She had only thought about this in the car, right before she entered his building. "What is it?" He asked impatiently."I want to learn swimming and I want you to teach me. Yourself."He drew back in surprise. "You want to learn swimming? And you want me to teach you?""That is exactly what I said, Leo. Don't make me repeat myself." She barked angrily.Leo cupped her cheeks not minding that she shouted at him. "I am proud of you, Cara. You are finally ready to face your fears."Megan rolled her eyes. "I know and that is why I want to do it with you.""Would you still like to come to my villa in Italy? It is in Lake Como." "Lake Como?"
MEGAN'S BEST DEAL: Once Betrayed, Now Desired VILLA CASA
Their SUV drew to a halt in front of the white sprawling large villa. It was so big and beautiful. It was located privately away from other houses in the area. The journey to this place was very smooth and nice, the view was breathtaking and satisfying to watch.The driver got down and opened Leo's door, Leo got down then helped her out of the car. She gaped at the villa but was interrupted when someone approached them the moment they stepped onto the villa's meticulously manicured grounds. The intruder was a woman, a middle-aged woman. She was slim, tall, and stiff-faced. She looked like a no-nonsense woman. Her hair was packed in a tight bun and her skin was brown. She was obviously a native from the way she looked."Welcome Signore Valenti and Signora Zendel to Villa Casa. My name is Antonia Morano. I am the housekeeper here and will be serving you all through your stay here. Would you like me to show you around the house?" She finished in a clipped tone but she had a professional
MEGAN'S BEST DEAL: Once Betrayed, Now Desired VACATION IN LAKE COMO.
Coming out from the bathroom after a wonderful bath, she put on a warm robe and went to the walk-in closet to find clothes to wear. Her hair was still a bit wet. The clothes actually were not much and most of the clothes were her size while some of them were not."Did he have a girlfriend before?" She muttered to herself."What did you say?" Leo said from behind her and Megan flinched.She swiftly turned around to find Leo standing at her back, his head was tilted to the side and he was staring at her in amusement."When did you come in? I did not hear when you came in and you scared me with your little surprise." She said."I just came in and sorry for scaring you. I did not mean to. Now, you were saying something to yourself. What were you saying?" He said in his very deep voice."Who do these clothes belong to? Did you have a girlfriend before?" She asked squarely.Leo stared at her for a long time before he burst into laughter. "What is this? Is this Megan Zendel being jealous? I
MEGAN'S BEST DEAL: Once Betrayed, Now Desired SWIMMING LESSONS.
"Let's start by taking a deep breath. Now, take a deep breath, Cara." Leo said."I think I need a moment." Megan gasped out staring at the blue sparkling water in her swimming suits. They were at the back of Leo's villa where his swimming pool was located. After much persuasion, she finally decided to start her swimming lessons. Leo wanted to hire a swimming coach for her but she sternly refused because she wanted him to teach her. Now today was the day that she began her lessons and she couldn't seem to enter the water. She thought she was ready but she realized too late that she was not ready at all."You have needed four moments now and I have given you all the moments you need. If I let you have more, then we won't achieve anything today." Leo said."I know, Leo. I just... Ugh. I don't know what I want. I thought I could do it but I don't know if I can do it again." She cried out.Leo moved closer to her and held her shoulders and she looked up into his dark eyes. "Trust me, Cara

Megan couldn't believe it. "I'm floating!" She exclaimed.Leo chuckled. "Yes, you are." He was holding her waist lightly as she floated in the water. "I am going to let go of you so that you can float all on your own. Are you ready?""Wait! I'm not ready. Will I sink if you let go of me?" She asked nervously."You won't if you do exactly as I told you to do." "Ok. Tell me again." She gave him a guilty look. He has told her many times and she kept forgetting."Take shallow breaths. You need air in your lungs. Don't fret, calm yourself, or else you will sink." He advised calmly."Thanks." She took slow breaths and then relaxed her body. "I'm ready.""I am letting go on the count of three. One, two, three." He slowly let her go, stepping back. She was still floating on the water, her hands were spread wide. "That's it. You are getting it." He said proudly."I know." She whispered in amazement. She never thought that she could pull this off one day. It felt so nice that she could finally

MEGAN'S BEST DEAL: Once Betrayed, Now Desired THE LETTER AND UNRELEASED COLLECTION.
Megan stepped down from the car that her father's driver drove her to the hospital with and immediately cursed under her breath. She was just coming back from the hospital for her checkup, according to her doctor, she is now able to do normal things since it has been five weeks since she had her surgery. Although she still feels tired sometimes it was bearable. Her medication was still one of her enemies at the moment; it still made her feel drunk and groggy sometimes. She missed feeling sane and normal.Back to what she was angry about right now, another set of bouquets was being taken into her father's house together with a gift bag. Was he not tired? It has been a whole month since she came back from the hospital and also the same time when the gifts and flowers started invading her father's house. Walking into the house, she headed to the place where the flowers are always kept, the dining room. This time, the bouquet was not as big as the others. The flowers have been so much th
MEGAN'S BEST DEAL: Once Betrayed, Now Desired TRY HARDER.
He needed to get his wits together. If only he could try harder, then maybe she would come back to him. The reason why he has not yet gone to see her, even though he almost has plenty of times, was because her father was the one who advised him not to rush things, especially with Megan. Peter Zendel told him that whenever stuff like this happened, it was best to give her space and not rush things because she might regret any hasty decision she makes, so it was better to let her decide on her own. The only thing that had been keeping him sane was knowing the fact that she was doing fine and alright. He was getting feedback on her health from his friend, Juan, whom he recommended to Megan's father. It was not all because he wanted to watch her. That was why he recommended Juan; it was also because he wanted her to be in good health, and he was aware that she needed a very healthy diet, and Juan was the best option. As for the letters he was sending, he will have to write better. S
MEGAN'S BEST DEAL: Once Betrayed, Now Desired SHE STILL CARED.
It was not just any letter like the one he had been sending to her for a while. It was a handwritten letter of their memories together. How did Leo, who is a businessman, think of something like that? It was so nice, and she did not want to acknowledge it. She could not and she will not acknowledge it. This one was written of their time in the London Eye. He wrote every detail of how she was happy, scared, and sad at the same time. His writing was so accurate that if she did not know him, she would have thought that he probably paid a pro or writer to do it for him or that he bought it. Nevertheless, this was too accurate to not be true. She did not know that Leo was keeping all the memories so stored deeply inside his heart and head. She remembered that time so well even though she did not. She finished reading the letter and her heart was beating fast not in a bad way but in a good way. She dropped the letter in the waste bin, and after a few minutes, she went back to pick it up.
MEGAN'S BEST DEAL: Once Betrayed, Now Desired THE LETTER.
It has been weeks now and she was frustrated. The whole house was filled up with flowers and a nice fragrance, not that she was complaining about the fragrance. Ever since she came to her father's house, Leo has not stopped sending flowers and letters of apology. She wondered how he knew about her current location. She had dismissed the bodyguards that he hired for her because she no longer needed them as she was staying at her father's house. Megan also released to the media that she was sick, which was the reason for the cancellation of their wedding. The day she was supposed to get married, which was yesterday, has passed, and she was still working on her health in her father's house. The wedding cancellation news was the only way to protect them both from criticism; the media still thinks that they are together; she left it that way because Leo would be heavily criticized for leaving her when she was sick and at her lowest. She wanted to wait till everything die down before she r

Delphine drew back in surprise. "Huh? You have broken up with Leo?" Megan shook her head. "No, I did not break up with him. We are only taking a break for now. We need some time to think about our relationship." She explained her lie. She and Leo are not taking any breaks, but they have broken up. More like she broke up with him but she did not want to tell his mother that when she knows how much Delphine loves her and sees her like her daughter. She did not have the guts to break her heart.Delphine sighed heavily. "Oh. It's Leo, right? He is the reason for this break that you talk about." When she saw that Megan was not answering her she continued. "There is no need for you to defend him; I know my son, and I know what he can do. He sometimes is careless and does not know how to value the precious things around him. He also makes some mistakes that are unbelievable and he is not perfect. I don't know what he must have done but I want to tell you that you should follow your heart an

"Geez, you scared the shit out of me. Don't go around scaring me like that anymore. I may have another heart attack even though I have been cured." Megan exclaimed.Julie pursed her lips. "I am sorry for disturbing you, but why are you scared? Do you have something to be scared of?" Her expression was skeptical.Megan composed herself and held her head high. It did not matter if Julie had caught her red-handed, she will still hold her head high. There was nothing to be afraid of. "I don't have anything to be afraid of. I thought you were working?" Megan pointed. "Are you trying to change the topic? You came here to check if your ex-boyfriend has come to see you once more." She stretched her neck to look out the floor-to-ceiling windows, and Julie suddenly grinned. "There he is, just leaving. You must be happy that he is still smitten with you." She remarked with a sly smile.Megan glanced out the window and in the direction where his car was parked before, and he was really driving o

Megan drew back in surprise. "Dad? He knows too?""Of course he does. For some strange reasons that I don't know about, he agreed to his request. I am not sure if he knows about the breakup. Did you tell him?""No. I never told him." She said."Well. That is what happened. I can never hide something like this from you; I am not crazy," She said. "If you don't still fully trust me, then you can call him and ask him; he will surely confess what he did."What she is saying makes sense a little, it is not completely rubbish. But... " How the heck did you know that I broke up with him? I don't remember telling you or is this surgery messing with me?" Julie folded her hand across her chest and gazed at her with an unimpressed expression that screamed, 'What the fuck.' "Really? Even a blind man would know. Maybe your father even knows and you are not aware of it. What I am saying is that everyone knows that Leonardo is obsessed with you and would do anything for you; I mean, the nurses even
MEGAN'S BEST DEAL: Once Betrayed, Now Desired UNEXPECTED BETRAYAL.
"What is going on?" Julie whispered with curious eyes. Megan quickly signaled for Julie to keep quiet so that the nurses would not hear her and Julie quickly shut her mouth. The bodyguards who were a few feet away from them froze. Megan sometimes wonders if they are robots because of the way they always seem to know what to do. Another reason why she had left them was because she was already used to having them around. They were at the back of the nurses station, the nurses could not see them."I wonder what is going on between them. They have not seen each other ever since that day that Miss Zendel went into surgery. Do you think they broke up?" Someone asked."No. I don't think they broke up, it is more like an estranged love, a love that cannot be shown. He has been visiting the hospital but it seems like Miss Zendel is not aware. I caught him one day in the parking lot where he was watching her room window. After watching for a while, he got into his car and drove off.""True. I t
MEGAN'S BEST DEAL: Once Betrayed, Now Desired HEALING PHASE.
It has been a week. A whole freaking week and her recovery has been her priority. She did not let herself think about anything else except recovering, which had not been easy at all; the pain was not little at all. It hurt like hell, she has never felt that amount of discomfort and pain for a long time. It felt so new but with the help of painkillers, the pain was bearable. She had to manage a regimen of pain medications, which normally left her feeling groggy and disoriented at times. Simple tasks like sitting up, walking, and even breathing deeply cause her pain and anguish but she was able to face it with the help of her family. Her father has always been there for her and even Julie has practically been working from her hospital room. She did not feel lonely with their constant presence, and it was comforting to know that there were still people by her side, people who would be with her through it all. Unlike some other people whom she did not want to think about right now.To re
