MEGAN'S BEST DEAL: Once Betrayed, Now Desired A QUESTION SHE DOESN'T KNOW THE ANSWER TO.
"I did not mean anything bad Mother but I have a life of my own and you can't just come into my house unannounced." He replied cooly. Megan stood there in shock, so this woman was Leo's mother. What a coincidence.She scowled and slapped his hand rather hard. "Why can't I? Is this the welcome I get after coming all the way from Italy? Why must you behave this way to your mother?" She scolded sternly.Leo sighed, "I'm sorry mother..."His mother's eyes finally noticed her and moved to where she was standing and her honey-brown eyes widened. "You... What are you doing here?" She asked in surprise. Recognition flashed through her elderly features.Leo glanced between her and his mother in confusion, he came to where she was standing, put his hand around her shoulder, and led her to where his mother was standing. "Mother, let me introduce my fiancée to you. This is Megan Zendel, my fiancée. Megan, this is my mother, Delphine Valenti. Do you two know each other?" His eyes were filled wit
MEGAN'S BEST DEAL: Once Betrayed, Now Desired PUT IN HER PLACE.
"Are you pregnant?" She asked again. Megan blinked then swallowed. "No, I am not." She answered. An answer she was not sure of."I was just so surprised with the sudden engagement so I thought you were pregnant." She told her. Her voice did not sound accusing like she thought it would."Actually, me and Leo have met for over a year now. I was the interior designer who designed his house."She gasped in shock. "You are? Wow, I was not aware of that. Leo doesn't share anything with his mother anymore." She lamented. "No wonder I loved the design of the house as soon as I entered inside. The design is lovely dear." She complimented.Megan's chest felt warm. "Oh, thank you. I hope I did not say something wrong." She said gently."No, you did not say anything wrong. So tell me Megan, which family are you from?""My father is Peter Zendel. He is into business investments and real estate. I don't know if you have heard of him.""Oh, I certainly have. So Peter Zendel is your father? I did no
MEGAN'S BEST DEAL: Once Betrayed, Now Desired A FAILED ATTEMPT AT MARRIAGE.
Delphine asked her to take a stroll with her outside to which she agreed. Leo was nowhere to be found, so she guessed he was with his father in his home office. Alfonso was sitting on one of the sofas in the living room, still pressing his phone. He did not even look up when they passed. "Don't let that housekeeper girl steal what is yours, darling," Delphine told her as soon as they stepped outside the house and into the cool evening breeze."What?" She asked in confusion."You don't have to pretend with me, I know that Sophia likes Leo. I mean, who wouldn't know? It's so obvious.""Oh." Well, she did not know at first, Megan thought. "I know she likes Leo.""I had one almost ten years ago, she was also working for me as a housekeeper. She tried to drug my husband to sleep with him, the stupid red-haired woman did not know I had come back way earlier than my normal time, when I caught her, I beat the hell out of her and put her in jail. No one messes with my family. She spent some y
MEGAN'S BEST DEAL: Once Betrayed, Now Desired LET'S END THIS, AND...
Goodbye." Delphine told the both of them. She turned to Megan. "Let's go shopping sometime soon. I like your fashion choices, they fit me.""I'm glad you like it. I will be ready anytime you are." She promised.Megan sucked in a deep breath when Delphine unexpectedly hugged her tightly, Megan slowly hugged her back. She felt warm."Thank you, Megan. I have never seen my son look so happy for a long while now." She whispered in her ears. Delphine pulled back. "Take care of yourself. And Leo, make sure you also take care of Megan.""I will mother, you can leave now. Dad and Alfonso are waiting for you in the car."Delphine glanced at the car. "Don't mind them, they are supposed to wait for me. Let me leave you young people to your thing. Bye." She waved at them and Megan waved back. She walked to the car and entered into it.Delphine walked to the car and entered into the custom Maybach waiting at the front of Leo's mansion. The car started and they drove off. The sound of their car fad
MEGAN'S BEST DEAL: Once Betrayed, Now Desired START AGAIN, FOR REAL.
"Megan?" Leo called. "Huh." She came out of her trance. "What is your answer?" He queried with curious eyes. "I like you too Leo. I really do. But what if we don't last? You know I had a messy breakup before we entered this deal. I don't want that to happen anymore, I don't think I can handle something like that again." She confessed with a low voice, she stared at her lap, unsure to meet his eyes. Would he mock her for what she said? "Look at me, Megan." He said and Megan looked at him. "We can make this work together only if we want to. It's only trivial emotions like doubt and fear that destroy things. I want to be with you for a long time, as long as this can go. I love having you here in my house, I love having you by my side. I don't know what I would do if I saw another man close or next to you. I want to be the man next to you. I only need your permission to do that. I won't force you to do something that you don't like, you can think about it but I won't wait for long."
MEGAN'S BEST DEAL: Once Betrayed, Now Desired MEGAN'S PAST STORY AND UNEASY SPECULATION.
"I had a terrible accident by the beach side when I was little." She began and took a deep breath. "I didn't die, but somebody else did." She continued. "Who is the person that died." "Esther was her name. She was my second best friend and the third friend in our group. I, Julie and Esther were all friends. We didn't let our social differences keep us apart, Esther was not from a wealthy family like me and Julie, but she wasn't poor either. It happened ten years ago on a fateful Sunday. It was raining like it was today, although the rain wasn't much. They were in my house that day, my father wasn't around so it was practically just us in the whole house. I was the one who brought the idea of all of us going to the beach that day since there won't be many people. They both refused, especially Esther. They said that the sea was dangerous to go to that day because of the announcement on the news." Her voice began to crack. "You don't have to tell me everything if you are not ready."
MEGAN'S BEST DEAL: Once Betrayed, Now Desired MY VERY OWN ART.
Leo parked the sleek silver sports car and turned the engine off. He came down from the car and opened her door for her, she took his outstretched hand and he helped her out of the car. Megan touched her bag with her free hand and she was reminded of the pregnancy test she had rushed to buy from a pharmacy when Leo parked to get something from a store.When she went back home she would use it, she would try and remove her mind from other things and focus on what they came out to do. She would make sure she enjoyed today, after all, Leo canceled his work just to spend this day with her, so she would be happy and focus on positive things first. The worry can come later.After much speculation, they decided to visit the British Museum first. Leo admitted that he was not a fan of art and historical artifacts so he might not be the best partner to go with. Megan did not care as long as he was with her, she was okay. She has always loved arts since she was young, it was also what made her
MEGAN'S BEST DEAL: Once Betrayed, Now Desired A BLUE EYES WOMAN. WAS IT PAULA?
"Are you sure you would be able to ride it?" Leo asked while watching her. Their car was parked at a parking lot near the London Eye. It was already afternoon. "Of course, I might be afraid of water but I don't think I am afraid of heights." She said boldly."Alright, if you insist so much, let's go," Leo said.Megan came out of the car before he could open the door for her. Anticipation was making her giddy. She gripped Leo's hand when he started walking. They both approached the iconic Ferris wheel on the South Bank of the River Thames. The London Eye, one of the most recognizable landmarks in London, loomed before them, its massive, curved structure reaching high into the sky. It looked so magnificent.Leo purchased their tickets, and they both joined the queue, shuffling forward with the steady flow of visitors. Megan was filled with fluttering nerves, she was wondering how it would be. This was her first time entering something so high or even riding the London Eye, she couldn'

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
