MEGAN'S BEST DEAL: Once Betrayed, Now Desired HE IS DONE FOR.
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'
MEGAN'S BEST DEAL: Once Betrayed, Now Desired UNFAZED.
"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
MEGAN'S BEST DEAL: Once Betrayed, Now Desired TELL ME ABOUT IT.
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
MEGAN'S BEST DEAL: Once Betrayed, Now Desired ASSUMPTIONS OR FACTS?
"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
MEGAN'S BEST DEAL: Once Betrayed, Now Desired RID THE EVIDENCE.
"But don't panic. I am sure Leo is not that kind of person. Why would he burn his house, it sounds ridiculous." Julie said waving a dismissive hand."I am not panicking. No matter what happens, as far as Brandon is out of my life, I will be happy. I can't deal with him forever., it's exhausting." She will trust Leo. He is her fiancée after all and he loves her as much as she loves him."You don't need to worry anymore. He is out of your hair, and he will soon go to prison. He cannot escape it, the charges against him are much. Soon you will be able to walk freely without having to look over your shoulder." She tried comforting. "Now, you should cheer up and go to work. Don't think too much about whatever that is going on. Today will pass just like every other day. We have a meeting at ten this morning so you need to prepare for it. I'm off to continue my work." Julie stood up and headed outside and towards her office.Leo stepped down from his car, handed the key to the valet, and ent
MEGAN'S BEST DEAL: Once Betrayed, Now Desired UNWANTED VISITOR.
"What is on my schedule?" He asked his secretary as he was walking to his office. After that conversation with Marvin, he came to work straight from his company. He needed to sort out a lot of things and do some work so that he would have enough time for the honeymoon. He obviously did not want to be working when he was on his honeymoon with Megan. "You have some important meetings to attend and you might have a business trip in the next week. It is not yet decided because the people you are having the metro with have not yet set a date. Their CEO, whom you were meant to meet, had an accident a few days ago so that affected the date on which you are meant to see him. I can pressure them if you want." His secretary suggested.They both entered his office, and Leo went to sit on his chair. "Don't. Don't pressure them. Send flowers if possible and some gifts for his health."His secretary's eyes widened in surprise, but he quickly adjusted his expression. "Ok. I will check out what to s
MEGAN'S BEST DEAL: Once Betrayed, Now Desired LEAVE HER: AN UNEXPECTED THREAT.
"You are sure hard to meet. I would have mistaken you for a president." Ella Woods snarled, her eyes were glaring at him."You are not meant to be here. You should leave." A female worker in a suit told Ella, but her eyes were on him, not minding the woman. The woman turned to him. "Sir, I tried not to let her in, but she wouldn't budge." She told him with a scared and guilty look. She was probably thinking that he would fire her or shout at her because she did not make Ella Woods leave. "All of you, leave. Now." He ordered in a deep voice. His secretary and the worker woman looked at each other with unsure eyes; reluctantly, they left his office. "Still strong headed aren't you?" His voice was sardonic. "To what do I owe this unwanted visit?" He asked.Ella walked to where he was sitting and sat on the chair opposite his table. She made herself comfortable. "You blacklisted me?" She began."Why do you care? It's my company therefore I can do whatever the fuck I like." He shot back
MEGAN'S BEST DEAL: Once Betrayed, Now Desired HE HAS ESCAPED.
Leonardo stared at the door that Ella Woods just passed through. He could not believe the guts of the woman. How dare she try and threaten him when she knows fully well that he is way more powerful than she and her family. He could literally destroy her with the snap of his fingers.He went back to his work, but he could not concentrate at all; his mind was in different places. Right now, he felt like being with Megan. He just wanted to feel her right now, to hold her and not let go. Megan was like his drug but he knew that he could not disturb her right now. She had told him in the morning that she needed to do something important. He was craving her so badly that it hurt.He stood up from his chair in anger and went to his small wine cellar in his office where he keeps his emergency drinks just in case he has an important visitor or client over. He opened it and brought out a bottle of whiskey. He brought out a glass cup and poured a reasonable amount into the cup. He took the cup,

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

"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
