"Umm. I don't know what you are talking about." She denied it and went to him to collect her phone. "When did you get back?" She asked after she had collected her phone."I asked you a question, Megan, and I want you to answer that question. Is Brandon threatening you? Don't even try to deny the messages because I saw them." He took a step closer to her and she stepped back. His eyes narrowed at her reaction.What was she going to say? Why was he even checking her phone in the first place? Come to think about it, she did not remember locking her phone so maybe he saw it when he came back. That means he must've been back for a while now. She needed to find a way out of this. Leo was not supposed to know about Brandon's threat. "Why are you with my phone? What were you doing with it?" She asked and glared at him. She needed to divert his attention even if it meant getting angry at him."What the heck do you mean by that question? When I came into the room, your phone kept buzzing, and
"You will?" Megan asked. She breathed in his musky cologne and his warmth enveloped her."I will. I told you that I will take care of you and will do anything for you and I am going to do just that. I don't break my promises." He told her then drew back to look at her face. "I need you to give me the number." He said."What are you going to do?" She asked with a low voice. Was he going to beat him up like the last time? If he does, then it would only make Brandon angry more, which will prompt him to release the picture like he said.Leo gently rubbed her damp hair, "Do you trust me?" He asked."Yes, I do." She answered."Then just trust me. I will take care of this, and it won't be released to the media, neither will our wedding be affected." He said and gave her a small smile. "Did you forget that I am also rich and I am a businessman? I can give Brandon whatever he asks you for. I will be back soon. I think I may need your phone instead of just his number."Her heart calmed down. He
Brandon looked up at him with a glare. "What do you want from me?" He asked.Leo folded his hand across his chest. "I should be asking you that. How dare you threaten my fiancée?" He shot back.Brandon stood up from the floor. "I am only trying to take back what they stole from me. She and her father stole my investments and ruined my business. They also ruined my life and made me like this." He shouted."No one made your life like this except you. You caused all of this for yourself. If only you did not cheat, then maybe this would not have been your outcome, so you deserve everything that is happening to you. Besides, I am happy that you cheated. I was able to get Megan all to myself. I get to be with her, I get to feel what she is like. I get to taste her, that is something you would never feel." He taunted with a wicked smile. He needed to buy time and that included wasting Brandon's time so he could get what he needed.Brandon's nose flared in anger. "You bastard! She was mine fi
"That is impossible." He hollered. Leo glanced at his expensive wristwatch. "By this time right now, your little townhouse is probably on fire and all your illegal documents and evidence of fraud and slush funds have been sent to the police station and the contract that you are using to threaten me is nowhere to be found because I have eradicated it from the face of the earth." Leo looked at him. "You were stupid to put all the evidences of your crime in your house. You could have at least put it somewhere more discreet."Brandon shook his head. "You are lying. I don't believe you. Why should I believe you?"Leo shrugged lazily. "Do you need a picture proof? But if you are that desperate for proof, you should hang on a little; the police will soon be here. I thought you may want to see them and tell them some things so I called them over." His smile took on a distinctly wicked slant. "Do you think that is the only house I have? I have other houses and I have other copies of the cont
Megan's eyes fluttered open, she noticed that she was halfway lying on Leo's body. Leo was still asleep, the room was dark but the only thing that betrayed the morning was the light spilling through the curtains showing that it was morning. She took in a deep breath and snuggled deeper into his body. After a while of feeling him, she decided it was time to get up and go to work so that she won't be late.She disentangled herself from Leo whose hands tightened around her waist imprisoning her in his arms. "Where do you think you are going?" Leo asked in a very deep, sexy voice which makes her insides turn."When did you wake up? I thought you were sleeping so I did not want to disturb you." She said.Leo's dark eyes met hers. "I have been awake for a while. I just wanted to relish the moment." He said to her."Oh. I had thought you were sleeping. Anyways, I need to go to work and I need to go and take a bath and eat so I won't be late." She tried to stand up but Leo's strong hand won'
"I did not report him to the police," Megan spoke. There was silence on the other side for a while. "You were not the one who reported him to the police? Then who did?" She asked.A sense of dread filled her because she had an idea of who would do exactly that. "I think I know who did it." She whispered. "I will call you back, let me check for myself." She said in a rush then cut the call without waiting for Julie to speak.Megan immediately went online to check the news. She did not have to search for Brandon because he was already trending. The title of the headline was;'Former boyfriend of Alexa Riley and assumed ex of Billionaire Tycoon's daughter Megan Zendel is arrested by the police on charges of fraud, embezzlement and stalking.'Embezzlement? Fraud? So Brandon was doing illegal things in his business? That was unexpected but she wasn't surprised. She clicked on the news and read further down. According to the news, he was reported last night. She checked the time and it wa
Wow. This was unexpected. She did not imagine what he was about to show her were new bodyguards. She held Leo's shirt lightly. "Can I talk to you somewhere private?" She asked with a small smile. "Sure." He answered her and he took her by her hand to the garden. When they reached the garden he turned to her. "I know you have a lot to tell me, you can go on.""Why do I need a bodyguard?" She began."You may not believe me but your life may be in danger. We never know what Brandon could do unless he is in jail and we all know that he is not coming out. I don't want to risk anything. I need you to be safe so that I can have peace of mind. If you are uncomfortable with them, then after everything is settled, you can get rid of them. How about that?""That is not even the main issue right now. You never consulted me for any of this. I thought I was your fiancée, Leo. Are you not supposed to discuss everything with me?" Just last night, he did not tell her that he made the police arrest B
"Good morning." A worker greeted as Megan and Julie waited for the elevator. Megan nodded in response to the greeting. The elevator door swished open, and they stepped in together with Ruth; she pressed the floor of her office, and the elevator began to move. There was silence in the elevator as it moved; soon enough, the doors opened, and they stepped out. When they reached her office, Ruth was the first to enter. She did a quick survey of the room, and when she saw Megan and Julie looking at her in confusion, she spoke."Protocols." She informed them. "It is for your safety, I needed to know if someone was lurking somewhere here." She said.Megan's mouth twitched. There was no need to be so extra. Her office was the safest place she could be. Only authorized people can come to her office. She let out an awkward smile. "Thank you." Will she ever get used to this? Probably not."I will leave you now," Ruth told her then left the office and went to stay outside, not far from her."No
