The door to the hospital room she was staying at opened and her father entered inside the room. The disappointment that filled her heart was not small. She thought maybe, he will come and beg for her forgiveness.

"Are you the one who told Julie to give those fruits to the nurses at the station?" He asked looking outside the door before he closed it shut.

Shit. She did not want him to see the fruit basket. She forced on a smile. "Yes. I wanted to appreciate them, they have been working so hard." She lied.

He smiled an approving smile. "That is nice of you. I am proud. They also seem happy with the fruits, they are quite expensive." He noted. He was wearing casual white trousers and a grey shirt with expensive sneakers.

"Oh. Really. I'm glad then."

Peter Zendel came to where she was on the bed. He was still using the walking stick, it must've seriously grown on him that he cannot seem to stop. "Is it just me or you look so down. What is wrong?"

Megan blinked. "Nothing is wrong father. I

    Megan changed into the surgery clothes and lay on the bed that the nurses would use to wheel her into the operating room. Her father and Julie were with her. One of the nurses professionally inserted the IV into her forearm and placed an oxygen mask on her face. The medicine immediately began to take effect, and she started to feel as if she wanted to sleep. They slowly began to wheel her toward the operating room. Her father and Julie kept following her till they reached the door, and the nurse who was wheeling her paused. "You can do this darling. I trust that you will be strong in this and overcome it." Her father held her hand and told her."Yes, Megan. Be strong and defeat this sickness. We will be waiting when you are done.""Thank you, Dad. Thanks, Julie. I will see you soon." Her eyes were drooping and she could barely move her body. It was like she was getting paralyzed. She saw her father speaking, but she could not hear anything, and her eyes eventually closed, making her

    Leo stood up abruptly from the chair he was sitting on, and he felt a little lightheaded. "I could practically hug you right now. You don't know how much your advice means to me. I have been cracking my brain to see whether I should go or not but I was not sure. Now I am sure." He walked up to Marvin. "I need you to drive me to the hospital, I need a lift from you."Marvin scrunched his face. "No way I am driving you there like a chauffeur. Don't you have a driver?" He asked in bewilderment."I do, but I have not been using him for a while, and I gave the rest of my workers paid leave. I wanted to be alone until you graced me with your presence. Now, I need you to drive me there so I won't miss her, a taxi would take a lot of time, and I can't drive because I drank." He tried reasoning."That's your problem; why did you go and drink in the first place? You should have kept yourself sane so you will be able to think like a normal human being. You are seriously going to be the death of

    Megan was slowly waking up as the rhythmic beeping of the machine sound brought her back to consciousness. She blinked her eyes open, her vision blurred and unfocused at first. The bright lights in the room assaulted her senses, eliciting a soft groan that escaped her parched lips. Where the hell was she? Everything felt so strange.The clinical, sterile smell of the room and the steady beeping of monitors quickly reminded her, she was at the hospital. A different and strange sensation was coursing through her body, especially her chest. She felt weird, and then she suddenly remembered why she was lying on the bed feeling these strange feelings and pains in her chest. She had undergone a heart surgery. The fog in Megan's mind began to clear, and memories of the days leading up to the surgery came flooding back. The fear and anxiety she had felt, the way her heart raced every time she thought about the risks. And also, her break up with Leo. She heard a gasp and then saw a face over h

    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

    "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 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

    "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

    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

    "Stop fidgeting, everything is going to be alright." Julie tried calming her down but it was not working. She had been anticipating this day two months ago and had been calm all those months, but why was she now so nervous? Today was her wedding day with Leo. The both of them had decided to get married quickly since that was what they were originally doing before they broke up. They decided to get married in Hawaii, and their wedding was private, with only family, friends, and a few close business associates."I don't know why I am like this." She almost sobbed out. "Everything is perfect but I cannot still phantom the fact that I am finally getting married." Her voice was low. Julie, who was wearing her light pink silk bridesmaid dress, grabbed her shoulder and turned her to face the long-standing mirror in the bridal waiting room at the luxury resort where the wedding was being held. "Look at how beautiful and perfect you look," Julie said.Megan stared at herself. She really loo

    "Paris! Paris was the place you were taking me to?" She gasped in sheer shock.When they arrived at the airport, she was too stunned to speak, and now that they are in the Eiffel Tower, she is finally able to regain herself. He had taken them straight here and did not even stop at a hotel. Not that she was complaining, though; it was just crazy and nerve-racking."Yeah. Do you like it?" Leo asked her from across the table. They were at a restaurant in Eiffel Tower, and their table was in a corner that was away from the rest of the restaurant. "Yes. I love it." She replied happily."Would you like to order now?" She nodded and took the menu. A few minutes later, she had ordered, and their food had arrived. "Thank you for bringing me here. I really love it." "We can come here anytime you want to. Besides, you are no longer afraid of the height so it won't be a problem coming here again." He said, his voice had a teasing note.She glared at him playfully.

    "Why don't you go and continue living with him? I mean, what is the point of coming back to your father's house in the night when you spend the whole day at his house? Also, you keep yapping on about how he is treating you well." Julie ranted.Megan gasped. "What the fuck, Julie? I am not yapping. What am I? A dog?" She exclaimed in disbelief."At this point, you have been sounding like one these days." Megan glared at her and Julie turned away from her. She clicked her tongue and continued speaking. "Anyways, I want to move in soon with Leo." "Do it already. I am sure you have been dying to do just that since you got back together." Julie turned to her, all sign of playfulness gone and her expression turned serious. "What about the wedding? Are you guys going to continue ahead with it?""Oh, the wedding... We are not rushing things right now and we want to take it slow to see how it goes." She said. However, that was not what she was feeling right now. She wished the wedding would

    Her driver slowly approached Leo's house; she just remembered that she did not have the remote to his gate because she had left it in his house before all of this started. The driver stopped at the front of his automatic iron wrought gate, she saw the driver glance at her through the rearview mirror."I know. I will do it myself." She came down from the and walked towards the small digital object near the gate. She stood in front of it. A small device near the gate scanned her face, and then the gate opened. She went back into the car and her driver drove inside the house. Leo actually still left her facial ID in his security system. He was actually expecting her to come. Is that why he also refused to send her clothes and belongings back to her? She had been expecting her clothes and belongings, but she did not want to contact him. Was that what he was expecting? That man was really sly. The car pulled up to the front of the house and Megan was about to come down when the driver's

  • 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

    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

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.
