"Dad," Megan called. "How long have you been standing there?"

Megan's father walked further into the room still with the support of the walking stick. Some habits are just hard to kill; he is already used to the walking stick that he is still using even though he has been found out. "When did you find out and how long have you known?" He looked astounded.

"I have some things I need to do; I will be back," Leo announced, but no one paid attention to him; they were focused on the conversation they were about to have. They both needed to sort some things between themselves and his presence was not needed there. He stood up and left the hospital room, when he came out, he saw Antonio and Ruth outside the room. They have been there since Megan got hospitalized; Antonio was the one who was here first, and then Ruth joined him later. He would reward them handsomely for controlling the situation quickly without causing harm to Megan.

"I will be back." He told Antonio who nodded. He needed to

    Leo sat on the chair in the cafe in the hospital; he sipped his plain black coffee, and he waited for Megan and her father to finish their discussion. As he waited, he dialed his secretary's number; he picked up almost immediately."Cancel all my schedules for tomorrow, I won't be coming to work tomorrow." He ordered firmly. He will use that time to take care of Megan.His secretary did not ask unnecessary questions and replied him sharply. "Ok, sir. Anything else?" He inquired curtly.Leo thought for a while. "No, that's all. If there is anything else, I will call you if there is something else." He cut the call and leaned back in his seat. One thing he liked about his workers was that they obeyed him without asking too many unnecessary questions. He needed to be with Megan as she did the surgery tomorrow. He was not going to leave her side. Now that Brandon was out of the way, he can now be at peace with Megan without him disturbing their lives all the time.Something was vibrating

    "This is why I have been telling you to take the surgery for a long time, apparently, with how stubborn you were, you refused. See where it has led you to!" Julie exclaimed in frustration for the hundredth time. It was the morning of her surgery, and she had no choice but to call Julie and confess everything, or else Julie would have maybe killed her before her time. She knew that she would verbally scold her a lot, and she was expecting it, but she did not expect it to be so long like this. It was torture. Julie kept telling her that she was the one who made the heart sickness reach this far, and it would not have been like this if she had agreed to treat it since. It was annoying listening to her constant nagging. Megan groaned. "I am sorry, okay. You have said this same thing so many times. Please spare me. I don't think I can hear anymore; it's agonizing." She begged.Julie glared at her from across the room where she sat. "Why should I stop? Did you listen to me when I was sayin

    Ella Woods, as expected of her, sashayed her way into the room and went to make herself comfortable on the couch in the room. Ruth followed her and entered the room. Julie was seriously glaring at Ella; if looks could kill, then Ella Woods would have been six feet under.Julie dragged her to the door. "What are you thinking about inviting her in? This woman is your enemy, you are not meant to invite her in. The last time she came to visit you, she only threw useless threats your way, she is nothing but trouble. Plus you are not supposed to stress yourself right before your surgery." Julie told her in a not-so-low voice."I can hear you guys. I just wanted to know." Ella announced sarcastically.They both turned to look at her. "Glad you heard it." Julie shot back at her."I understand what you are saying. I will not waste time. Also, I want to hear what she has to say; she did not look for me to visit all for nothing. I promise that if I am uncomfortable, I will let you know, but plea

    It can't be. Leo would never do that to her. Why should she believe this woman? This is a woman who wants Leo for herself and she will do anything to get him, including lying."The only reason he would actually come to you is because you are the best candidate for his revenge plan. You were Brandon Keller's girlfriend and I cheated on him with the same Brandon whom he hates. He must be happy now that he is behind bars. If you look at it, it was all his doing. Brandon gave him a little step, and he took a mile; he was the one who reported him to the police and gave the police all the evidence to put him in jail. First of all, do you think your meetup with Leonardo was natural? He came to you first right?" Her cold blue eyes were staring at her intently. She was waiting for a reaction.Megan swallowed trying her best to school her features before she answered. "It does not mean anything if he met me first. It is purely coincidental. Not all women in relationships meet their partners fir

    "You are kidding me, right? How can you utter such total nonsense." Her accent was becoming more pronounced; it was the same thing that happened wherever Leo was angry, or he was in bed with her. That means she is reacting to what she said and what she is saying is true.Megan cocked her head to the side and stared at her with a mocking look. "Why? Are you scared that I found out your little secret?" Ella Woods glared at her. "That is rubbish. There is no secret. I can never love Leonardo neither can I love anyone. They always love me first and end up begging for my love." She defended angrily.Megan shrugged. "That is the thing. Your pride got hurt that you ended up loving a man first, and he could not love you back, especially the one that you agreed not to love. It must have been unbearable for you because you are used to men falling at your feet but Leo was not like that so you decided to have an affair and cheat on him so that he would finally notice you and love you and come be

  • MEGAN'S BEST DEAL: Once Betrayed, Now Desired    THE REAL UNEXPECTED CULPRIT.

    Leo was walking down the stairs of his house when his phone rang. He had just finished freshening up because he had not come back home nor bath since that thing happened to Megan and he was wearing a fresh change of clothes since the day that Megan was attacked; he was carrying an expensive designer leather duffel bag which contained Megan's clothes, the important ones like her underwear and sweater, and a fresh change of clothes when she is discharged. He dropped the expensive leather duffel bag on the floor, brought out his phone from his back pocket, and picked it up. "I will go straight to the point. My boys have found who the person is. The main person that paid the stalker money to stalk and put those boxes at the front of Megan's house back then." Marvin said to him in Italian.Finally, he will get to know this mysterious bastard. "Who is the person?" He replied in the same language.Marvin breathed out. "You may not like who the person turned out to be. It is unexpected actua

    As he entered the private room, he spotted Megan, who was curled up on the bed, and a blanket was over her. Her back was to the door where he just entered from, he spotted Julie who was sitting on the sofa in the room reading a magazine, when she saw him she stood up and left the room without looking at him twice. The tension in the room said it all, they knew. He kept the flower on the table together with the basket of fruit. He dropped the duffel bag on the floor and went to where she was lying on the bed. Was she asleep? He was about to touch her arm when she suddenly turned to face him."You took time." She told him with a neutral tone that did not betray any emotion she was feeling. She sat on her bed; her eyes did not look sleepy at all, which meant she had been awake all this time. He wanted to know what she was thinking but her face was blank.Leo smiled even though it was forced. "I had to go somewhere. I bought you flowers and fruits; let me go and get the flowers; I'm sure

    The whole world became silent and he was not sure how long he stood there in total before he found his voice to speak. "What did you say?" Maybe he did not hear well. He certainly wished that he did not hear well.Megan's face was blank. "Let's break up." She repeated once again. "It was never real from the start; we started as a deal because of Brandon. Now that he is in jail, it's best if we end it since there is no reason to be together anymore." She said this to hurt him and it worked because the expression that came on his face was absolute devastation."You can't do this to me, Megan. You can't just break up with me, and besides, it is not a game." Megan stood up from her bed and walked closer to him till their bodies were almost touching. "I can and I will. I am tired of being in a relationship that is full of lies. I don't want to be with you anymore. I don't know what more you are hiding from me. I need a break from all of this, I need some time to think things through and

    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

  • 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
