Megan could not believe what was happening between her and this handsome strange man, he obviously knows she finds him attractive and is using it to taunt her. She does not know why she is behaving like this when she has a boyfriend maybe it is because Brandon is not paying much attention to her.

"I can't believe I met Mr Valenti in person." Her secretary, Julie gushed sitting on the chair in her office after Mr Valenti left.

"Do you know him?" she asked and she mentally slapped herself for asking that type of question, of course, Julie literally knows every famous person on the internet, sometimes she even behaves like a stalker.

"You mean, you do not know who he is?" Julie looked at her like she had gone mad.

"What?" Megan asked when she kept giving her that look. "You only told me that he was an important and influential person, you never really told me who he was, and stop looking at me like I am the dumbest person on earth. It's not like it is even that important" she said.

"Tsk tsk, it's a shame honestly for a business owner like you not to know about important businessmen. I mean your father is a billionaire, shouldn't you know all these things and, are you not even meant to research your clients to know more about them?"

"Why would I?, when I have you and can now you stop with the lectures and tell me who he is!" Megan snapped.

She cleared her throat. "Okay. Now, I shall begin. First of all, he has the number one entertainment company in the whole world with branches all around the world and number two..." She leaned closer to her. " He also an airline." She squealed.

"Is that all?"

Julie's eyes widened like saucers. "That is your only response, 'Is that all'? This guy is freaking breathing money, he is a billionaire, don't you understand and he is also young, hot, sexy, and..." When she saw Megan staring at her at her she quickly moved back and muttered. "Sorry."

"I need to make some calls."

"Yes ma'am." She said with a fake salute and with that she stood up and left the office.

Later that night she sat in her study room and checked for who he was on her laptop and turned out Julie was right and he also had a lot of money, he really did look like someone with a lot. There wasn't much about his private life only he was very cold, ruthless, and determined when it came to business and also a heartbreaker when it came to women according to some sources. He has dated a lot of women, like lots of women and the recent one, Ella Woods a famous actress whose father is a governor, lasted for two years but they were no longer together, so that means he is single at the moment. "Hmm, interesting." She said, taking a lick from her ice cream then she gasped realizing what she was thinking at the moment when she had a boyfriend. Speaking of her boyfriend, she picked up her phone and dialed Brandon's number and it was switched off, maybe his battery was dead she thought, and she would try it again tomorrow.

"Wow this house is huge compared to the others we have done, he must be really wealthy" Julie whispered in her ear as they were surveying Mr Valenti's house with his assistant, Ernest Matson. The house was empty and clean it was only remaining for her to begin work. Ignoring Julie she asked his assistant if there was any color he preferred mostly.

"He mostly prefers black and white"

That's cold she thought and glanced at Julie and saw she had written it down along with the others she had written from earlier.

"Shall we head upstairs?" As they explored the house, she discovered that house had fourteen bedrooms including a master bedroom, a gym space, a study room, and a movie theatre. It even has a separate house for the staff giving the house enough privacy it could need as it is surrounded by trees and plants away from the staff house. She was excited and could not wait to start the work, the flooring was already perfect and another interesting thing about the house was that it had an indoor pool, a game room, and a wine cellar. Mr Valenti paid more than enough in order for her to cover all expenses.

"So when are you going to begin the work," Ernest asked.

"Next week."

He nodded. "Okay then, I must go as I have an important business to take care of." He said and left.

After he had left, they did one last survey before leaving. "Our next stop is our suppliers for the materials we would use," she told Julie who was driving them back.

"I thought that you normally just place orders?"

"This one is different, so I want to pick it myself." Julie nodded in understanding. "Afterwards, we will go check out some pieces of furniture."

"Okay."

"Do you want to have a drink later?" She said suddenly and Julie turned to look at her with a raised brow before returning her eyes to the road, Megan signed then continued. "I just want to catch up, you know like old times and come on it's been a long we have had time together since we have been so busy with work." She said, trying to find the right excuse but she knew Julie would still pick up the reason behind her invitation. Julie has been her long-time friend but when at work she preferred to keep a secretary and boss relationship to not confuse other employees and make them think that she was working in someone's favor, but when they were outside work they were simply just friends.

"Is it about Brandon again?" she asked.

Megan groaned, why does she always have to know everything? Can't she pretend at least once in a while that she doesn't know what is going on? "No... Okay maybe, but that is not why I am asking you to drink with me."

"I bet he is not picking up your calls again." She remarked drily.

"No, it's not like that." She defended.

Julie snorted, "Why do you always defend him he isn't even worth it" She paused then added. "Who knows he might even be cheating on you."

She tensed, she had been avoiding that reality which might be true but she trusted Brandon, he wouldn't do that to her. Their relationship is strong. Insecurity and lack of trust are what always lead a relationship to downfall. "How can you say that and I know he is not." She replied softly.

"And how do you know that?"

"Because he loves me and he has told me many times. If he didn't then he wouldn't have told me that he loves me." She argued desperately.

There was silence in the car for a moment then Julie spoke in a low voice that if she wasn't near her she would not have heard her. "You need to face reality."

"What do..." She was cut off by Julie before she could speak.

"We are here." She looked out of the window and saw that they had indeed reached, she heard the car door opening and Julie got down. Megan signed, guess she was avoiding her now. She got out of the car taking her purse along with her and headed for the building. She paused in her tracks before she reached the door. What Julie said was getting into her head that she might be right somehow then she shook her head and headed into the building, she would not think about this now, maybe later she would.

    "Aargh!" Megan screamed as they both fell into the pool together. She could not swim, as she opened her mouth to tell Mr. Valenti, water filled her mouth. She struggled for breath and to stay afloat but she only drowned the more. A pair of hands wrapped around her waist and lifted her up and out of the pool. She was on the floor coughing and when it finally subsided, she looked up and he was looking at her. So he was the one who saved her, of course, it would be him as they were the only ones in here. His body was wet, his dark blue suit was soaked and his hair had fallen over his head. He was still looking like a Greek god. She wondered what she looked like. He crouched down to where she was sitting on the floor. "Are you alright?" He asked. "I'm fine." She told him while avoiding his eyes. She could not believe this happened to her client. How could she be so reckless? She questioned herself. He stood up at his full length. "What the hell were you doing walking around the edge of

    "What did I always tell you about pools?" Julie yelled at her and smacked her in the hand."Ouch!" Megan whined, pouting pitifully, lowering her gaze."You know you can't swim but decided to explore near a pool. You should have called me to accompany you."She glanced at Julie still pouting. "You were busy, so how could I disturb you when I'm the one who sent you on the errand."Julie placed her hand on her head and sighed. She crouched down to examine her bandaged leg as Megan was sitting on the bed in the private room that Mr. Valenti, placed her in. "Does it hurt so much?" She asked worriedly and looked up at her.Megan shook her head but still answered. "No. It does not hurt me so much as when it freshly happened. But I can still walk out without a wheelchair. With some support though.""A wheelchair?"Megan nodded." Leonardo made me use one when we arrived at the hospital.""Leonardo? "She gasped with her eyes wide she stood up and sat on the bed beside her.

    After what happened in the hospital hallway. Julie took to her car and drove her home. As soon as they were inside Megan's house and she had settled down. Julie made a hot cup of coffee for her with enough cream. Julie handed the cup to her and she took it from her."Are you okay?" She asked. Her face was a mask of concern.Megan could only nod, she held the hot cup in her hand relishing in the distraction that came from the hotness of the cup."I knew that guy was a bastard and a good-for-nothing man. He had always been an asshole." She knew Julie was saying all those things so she would feel better. It helped though.However, she was too embarrassed and ashamed to even utter a word. She had just finished defending him a moment before that happened. How could she be so stupid and foolish? She lowered her head."Just say the word Megan and I will kill him. I will inject him with arsenic. Jail is not a problem for me to go to if my mother receives all my savings."Megan raised her head

    The taxi stopped in front of the large and beautiful Italian restaurant. Megan paid the driver and got out of the taxi. The taxi sped off leaving her standing there. It has been a week since she saw Brandon in the hospital with that mysterious pregnant woman. He only called her once and she did not pick up, he did not bother to call her again, nor try to visit her since a week ago. How did she date that asshole for four years and think she was in love with him. Her leg has healed almost completely. Leonardo Valenti invited her for lunch at this nice Italian restaurant to apologize for what happened in his house since she said it was his fault. She felt sorry for blaming him now she has no choice but to accept his invitation for a meal together. Julie had strictly warned her not to drive, therefore the reason for the taxi.Megan was wearing a white blouson dress and a brown coloured trench coat, she wore a white sandal heel and carried a white purse. Her hair was in a messy bun. The he

    She was lost for words at his statement. Like? How? If he likes her then why can't Brandon also like her like this? "I don't want to talk about this." She said when she got herself back from his raw confession. "Alright. I won't pressure you now but that doesn't mean I will stop trying." His eyes held an unspoken promise. "Are you ready to go?" She stared dumbfounded at him. What was wrong with this man? Why was he so straightforward? Why was she reacting to his words and why did it feel like there were butterflies in her stomach? Her heart was beating fast. "You will have to not bother trying at all because you still won't get me." She tried to discourage him. He was handsome, rich, and sexy. He was the perfect candidate to use to make Brandon jealous as Julie had said but she did not want to use him like the way Brandon used her. He could find better girls than her who would love him and not use him for selfish purposes.That would simply make her to be like Brandon. Leonardo Vale

    As soon as Megan confirmed that Leonardo had left, she went outside and hailed a taxi. She got inside and gave the driver Julie's house address. It was already approaching evening when she arrived at Julie's house. Megan wasn't even sure if she was at home, it was Saturday and she could be out partying or having fun. She rang the doorbell for her house and in a few seconds the door opened and Julie was there in a baggy white shirt and pink shorts.When she saw her it was as if a dam opened and tears streamed down her cheeks. "Julie..." She cried and ran into her waiting arms. Julie held her there and let her sob till she calmed down. "What happened Megan?" She questioned curiously after her cries had reduced."He- he embarrassed me. I saw them in the restaurant I went to with Leonardo. He denied me, oh God." Her sobbing increased again and Julie took her to her comfortable sofa. She sat her down and Julie sat beside her. "Calm down and tell me what happened."She slowly took deep br

    "What the fuck!" She screamed out. Brandon was sitting on her couch. She held her chest, he scared the shit out of her. He looked so relaxed like it was his house. How the hell did he get in and what was he here for? He did not bother calling her or texting her, now he is in her house. To do what? She thought he was a robber or a stalker with his all-black outfit. "Where have you been Megan?" Megan blinked repeatedly. Was she dreaming? Or has Brandon simply run mad? "You really have the balls to come to my house. How did you even get in?" Then she remembered she had told him her password before. "Were you with that man I saw at the restaurant?" He scanned her body to her face looking disgusted. "Did you sleep with him? You are still wearing the same clothes from yesterday and your hair is messy." "Are you sick in the brain? You must be mad from what I am seeing. After cheating on me, you are asking me if I slept with a man when you made a girl pregnant while dating me for what

    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

    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

    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
