"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
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
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
