Leo opened the door to his villa and she entered inside, she walked to the living and yelped in fright. She saw a woman sitting in the living room, she was wearing a black long-sleeved dress, a black boot heel, black big sunglasses, and a black hat. Her lipstick looked dark too and Megan noticed that she was staring in her direction. She looked like a female grim reaper.

She rubbed her chest trying to calm her frantic heartbeat. Does this person want to kill her before her time?

"Mom? What are you doing here?" Leo asked from behind her then he came to stand by her side.

Megan's eyes widened when the woman removed her glasses. It was really his mother.

"What kind of question is that? Can't I visit my son? Is that a crime?" Delphine asked with a jutted chin. "You are making me seem like a bad mother."

"I am not saying it is a crime and you are certainly not a bad mother. How did you know I was in Italy?" His voice was dry as if he had encountered situations like this multiple times.

    Megan waited for his mother to leave before she swung around to face Leo. "Why would you treat your mother that way?""What way?" His voice was calm."You know the way I am talking about." "Well sorry to burst your bubbles, I don't know what way you are referring to, my dear Megan." His voice held no hint of remorse and it provoked her.She took a deep breath, silently asking for patience and control. "Why are you treating your mother like she is not meant to come here and she is disturbing your peace.""Because she is. She knows fully well that she is not meant to come here. My family knows that this is my private area, my resting place away from the world and business." "I did not realize that but it was still no way to treat her. You also lied to her.""When did I lie?" She put her hand on her waist, staring at him like he was not serious. "What?" When he saw how she was looking at him."You lied that we have plans but the truth is that we don't have plans for this night or did y

    "Let's head inside so we can move on to our dinner." She led her further into the house. Megan could not help but admire the beautiful masterpiece. "Do you like it?" Delphine asked"Yes. It's beautiful." The expansive living room is dominated by a soaring, double-height ceiling, adorned with ornate, intricate moldings and a stunning crystal chandelier that casts a warm, welcoming glow over the area. The walls are paneled in a neutral, creamy tone giving it a cool nice vibe. Plush, oversized sofas and armchairs in a soft, muted gray palette are arranged in a conversational grouping. Emphasizing the seating area are gleaming, polished side tables and coffee tables with sleek, modern lines. To finish it all, lush, verdant potted plants and artfully arranged floral displays added a touch of natural beauty and vibrancy to the space."Thank you," Delphine replied.They moved to the dining table where the food was arranged. The dining room was bathed in a warm, inviting glow, with the roari

    By the time they started to eat, the storm had fully begun. It was raining heavily like Alfonso said it would. The dining table was filled with all sorts of delicacies, ranging from lobster, chicken scarpariello, Risotto alla Milanese, Braciole, and so on. Some that she did not know what their name was. They ate while having small discussions. The dinner felt intimate and warm. She realized that she loved gatherings like this. Maybe it was because she did not do stuff like that most time when she was younger. "So when is your wedding?" Delphine questioned abruptly.Megan choked on her food, and Leo patted her back while she coughed out. Again. What was with her sudden questions? A heads-up will be needed sometimes."Here have some." He handed her a glass of water and she drank it. She swallowed and dropped the cup on the large dining table. "Are you okay?" Leo asked, his dark eyes staring into her eyes."Yes. I'm fine.""Oh, darling. Did I startle you with my question, I am sorry."

    "Yes, you heard me well. I will have to schedule your surgery sooner than expected.""But why?" "When we did your test right before you traveled, I did not notice a major issue in your heart condition but I suddenly saw it today when I was reviewing your test results today. I apologize for not noticing it sooner. I will advise that you take things easy for now till your surgery, when you get back from your trip, I will brief you on the remaining things. Also, I would advise they you inform a family member who would be able to sign your approval for the surgery. That is all.""Thanks, doctor, I will make sure that I visit you when I get back from my trip." "Please make sure you do." He reminded then cut the call.Megan stood there for a while staring at the lawn as rain fell on the green grass. She wrapped her hand around her body, the wind howled and the rain pattered against the floor, the sound of an approaching thunder could be heard."What are you doing out here?"Megan whirled

    Hearing those words was like a balm to her soul. She wrapped her arms around him and showered his face with kisses. Leo chuckled when she drew back."You don't know how long I have waited for those words. I love you, Leonardo. Tell me you love me again.""I love you, Cara.""Will you say it again, my love? I want to hear it again." She asked."What will I get in return?" He cocked his head to the side, his eyes were heavy and hot on her.You already have all of me. I don't know what else I am to give you.""Kiss me. I want to taste your lips once more."Megan wrapped her hand around his neck and stood on her toes and kissed him on his soft lips, he immediately responded by wrapping his hand around her waist and deepening the kiss, he was exploring her mouth, his hand moved from her waist to her hips and he rubbed himself against her. He was already getting hard."This is what you are doing to me?" His voice was hoarse. "Let's go upstairs to my room." He said, his head rested on her fo

    Leo disappeared into what seemed like a closet and when he came out, he was holding a cloth. "You can manage this one for now. It is an old cloth. It should fit you." He said. She checked the clothes out and it was a maroon-colored T-shirt and the polka dot shorts seemed like they would fall off her waist the moment she wore it. "I don't have your size. This would be able to fit you since I last wore it when I was young." Megan giggled. "What is with the shorts? I cannot imagine you wearing it. The image is kinda stuck in my head." "If you don't want it, you can hand it back or would you prefer sleeping naked, not that I am opposed to the idea." He said with a shrug. Megan glared at him. "Pervert." She muttered. "I heard you." "Not that I care." She retorted sardonically. "I am off to bath." She said heading towards the bathroom. "Ok." She glanced at him over her shoulder. "You can join me, perv." Leo scoffed in amusement. "I think I would like to be a pervert for you." He

    "Is this because of my mother?" He asked looking into her green eyes. "Far from it. I want to marry you not for anyone or anyone's reason but for myself and my reason, I want to spend the rest of my life with the man I love and that is you. I want to marry you for real, I want whatever is between us to be one hundred percent real. What do you say, Leo?" He untangled himself from her and sat upright. "You are making me ashamed, Megan." She sat upright too. "How? That was not my intent if you feel offended by it." "No. That is not what I meant." He let out a small laugh. "Why do you have to be the one to say everything first? I am supposed to ask you that question, not you asking me. How am I going to hold my head high." She chuckled amusedly. "It doesn't matter. I will tell everyone that you were the one who proposed. No one has to know, it will just be between you and me. I cannot wait any more, you already have me a ring and the world thinks that we are already engaged. Even you

    "This calls for a celebration," Delphine announced. "Which window should I open?" She pondered to herself."We are sorry but we need to head back to London today. We were supposed to go back yesterday. We apologize but work calls. I also have an important meeting to attend." Leo revealed."That's okay. We can come over to London instead. I would like to help in the wedding preparations, is that okay with you Megan?" She queried kindly.Megan nodded. "Of course, you can. I don't mind." She did not know how to plan a wedding and she has no idea how to plan one. She will need all the help she can get and she was very grateful that Leo's mother is willing to help her. She would even prefer her more than anyone else."I can't still believe that you are going to be my daughter-in-law very soon. It feels surreal. I can finally call you my daughter. I will be able to brag to my friends now." She said proudly."Don't exaggerate mom, I know you can believe it," Leo said drily and took a bite fr

  • 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

    "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

    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
