MEGAN'S BEST DEAL: Once Betrayed, Now Desired USE ME.
Animated conversations and laughter filled the air as Megan stepped into the ballroom of Leonardo's house where the housewarming party was held. The place was bathed in golden warm light. The guests here wore casual clothes, nothing too grand since it was just a small party. The dress code was casual. Megan wore a short green one-shoulder dress with a pleated tulle skirt which stopped above her knee, she paired it with a vintage strappy white sandal heel. It was simple and not noticeable, her makeup was light too. Her father who was at her side wore casual clothes. She spotted the large sculpture that broke before which was now repaired. It stood elegantly in the center of the ballroom. It was a beautiful and unique sculpture and it made the room seem more grand. She thought if she returned it to Georgiou Alexpoulos for repair he would send it back angrily. Luckily that was not the case, instead, he repaired and added more designs to it and sent it back within two days! That was rare
MEGAN'S BEST DEAL: Once Betrayed, Now Desired I WOULD BE PATIENTLY WAITING.
Leonardo was upstairs watching the party from behind a glass. No one could see him from downstairs but from where he was, he had a clear view of what was happening below. He was waiting for Megan to arrive, after all, he had hosted this party just to see her again. He needed an excuse and this was the perfect one. He knew she would reject any offer of seeing her personally, especially with what happened at the restaurant that day. If she did not come then he won't bother going downstairs and the party would be over.He saw a lady in a green dress step inside the room. There she was! She was coming in with a middle-aged man with a walking stick, he recognized the man as Peter Zendel, her father. The dress was so beautiful on her, as if it was made for her and it was almost the same color as her eyes. Her silky black hair fell to her waist. She looked so ethereal. Her eyes were on something and he traced it to the sculpture at the centre of the room. He remembered it, he had to threate
MEGAN'S BEST DEAL: Once Betrayed, Now Desired THREE WOMEN.
Megan kept staring at the black and golden business card on her office table. She had wanted to throw it away but could not bring herself to. The door to her office opened and she quickly hid the card. Julie stepped into the office and looked at her suspiciously. "What was that?" She asked looking at her clutched hand where she held the business card."What do you mean?" She asked innocently."You are hiding something in your hand aren't you?" Her eyes narrowed."What could I be possibly hiding? Anyways I am ready so let's go." She put the card in her bag quickly when Julie wasn't looking.She and Julie had wanted to do a weekend shopping, today was the perfect day after a week of working. It was Friday evening and they were at a high-end department store. "Check this one out. It would fit you perfectly well." Julie was holding a silver glittery extremely short dress that was backless. "Julie! How do you possibly expect me to wear that?" "What is wrong with it? You need to have fu
MEGAN'S BEST DEAL: Once Betrayed, Now Desired AN INTERNET UPROAR.
Megan entered her house, she dropped her shopping bags on the floor carelessly. She went straight to her room and her phone was on her bed as she was about to pick it up, a call came in and it was Julie. Why was she calling her now? Nevertheless, she picked it up."Megan, what the hell happened when I left? You are all over the internet!"She frowned in confusion. "What do you mean?""I sent you the video. You should watch it yourself. I will call you back later, I am with my mother.""Ok." Then she cut the call. Megan unlocked her phone and she saw a lot of missed calls. Six from her father, ten from Julie, and two from her father's lawyer. She opened the message that Julie sent her and clicked on the video. It was the video of what happened in the department store! It also included when Alexa slapped her. Her hand flew over her mouth. How did it reach the internet so fast? She quickly went online and she was trending. Some labeled her as a slut while some called her a relationship b
MEGAN'S BEST DEAL: Once Betrayed, Now Desired A NEW BEGINNING.
He directed her to a table set for two. She sat down and he sat opposite her. He brought out the contract he prepared and handed her her copy. Her lawyer arrived and they both went through it and it was perfect, exactly how she wanted it. The contract had three conditions. The first condition is that; They are to pretend to be a real couple in the public eye. The second one is that; They are not to meddle in each other's life except if it is related to their fake relationship. The last one is that; they must not fall in love with each other. She studied it thoroughly together with the NDA. The contract conditions were exactly what she needed. The duration of the contract is one year. After both of their lawyers confirmed there was no risk, they both signed the contract and the NDA provided by Leonardo. He put his own copies into a briefcase and she put her own into her clutch bag, her lawyer took his own copy. She had a light private dinner with him. He informed her that they must sh
MEGAN'S BEST DEAL: Once Betrayed, Now Desired A FRIENDLY CONFRONTATION.
Prior to the release of her and Leonardo's relationship status, she phoned her father about it. She did not tell him about the contract or how it was for only the public eye. However, she told her father the same story that Leonardo's PR team told her. Surprisingly, he believed her. He was happy that she had left Brandon a long time ago. He also wanted to meet with Leo personally.The media took the news better than she had expected and the hatred turned to Alexa Riley instead. People called Alexa a liar and an attention seeker. She lost a lot of followers on all her social media accounts and paparazzi were now camping at her doorstep. The picture that she and Leo had taken the night before, was released to the media, including the kiss and people gushed about how good they looked together. Now they were officially an engaged couple. At least for the public eyes only. Her doorbell rang and she went to check who it was and it was Julie. Immediately she opened the door, Julie stormed
MEGAN'S BEST DEAL: Once Betrayed, Now Desired AN ANNOYING VISITOR.
"Goodbye." She waved to Julie who was sitting behind her desk. "Don't stay out late. Make sure to go home early.""Alright, mate. I will." Julie waved back.She came out of her building and Leonardo was waiting for her in a silver sports car. He looked so dashing and handsome in his suit. When he saw her approaching, he smiled sweetly moved forward to her, and kissed her cheek, she smiled up at him. Since they announced their relationship, the attention had been on them and paparazzi had suddenly taken interest in her day-to-day life. He took her bag from her and opened the car so she could enter, she settled inside the car. He rounded the car and entered the car, the engine of the sports car roared to life. Leo had decided that they continue their act especially when in public because people needed more proof and she agreed of course."How was work?" Leo asked her when they were on the road."Work is good. How is yours?" "Mine is good too." It was still a bit awkward between them. "
MEGAN'S BEST DEAL: Once Betrayed, Now Desired HIS HOUSE.
"Are you hurt?" He asked with a worried face. Leo left Brandon at came to her."No. I'm fine. He did not hit me." She searched his face, Brandon did not hit him and he looked fine. "What about him? I think he needs to go to the hospital."He glanced at Brandon on the floor still groaning in pain. "I will take him to the hospital. First, let's get you out of this place and somewhere safe." She took her hand and led her away. After they entered his car, he made a call. She did not hear what he was saying as he was speaking in rapid Italian but she could guess he was referring to Brandon.Throughout the drive, his hand clenched the steering wheel and his face was hard. They arrived at an iron-wrought gate. The automatic gate opened and the car entered, speeding through the long driveway way that was lined by the side with cypress trees. The car parked in front of a large mansion and she realized that he brought her to his house. Her head turned to him and he was already getting out of th

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
MEGAN'S BEST DEAL: Once Betrayed, Now Desired LEAVING THE HOSPITAL.
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
MEGAN'S BEST DEAL: Once Betrayed, Now Desired SOONER OR LATER.
"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'S BEST DEAL: Once Betrayed, Now Desired THE LOVESTRUCK PUPPY.
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
