Leo checked the time in his sports car and it was a few minutes after eight in the evening. He kept dialling her number but it was still switched off. He suddenly remembered that she had bodyguards whom he could call instead. His head was swarming right now so he could not think straight. All his thoughts were scattered because of how worried he was. He decided to call her bodyguards instead, he searched for Antonio's number and called it. It rang. He breathed a sigh of relief, thank God it was ringing. Antonio picked it up, and he quickly spoke before Antonio could utter a word."Is Megan home? Are you with her?" He questioned impatiently.There was silence on the other side of the phone before Antonio replied to him, and his next words made his heart sink in despair. Devastation overwhelmed him. He did not know what took over him next because it was like his body suddenly entered autopilot and he just began to drive to the location that Antonio gave him.TWO HOURS AGO.After that co
Antonio drove into the exclusive Rosas Village where Leo's mansion was located. It was a secluded and luxurious area where rich people and famous celebrities lived, also known as a 'billionaire bunker.' The car drew near to his house, and she noticed a truck parked near Leo's house; she frowned slightly; she had never seen a truck inside the village before. Have they been allowed all those while? She had always thought that they were not allowed inside because of how private the area was, and from the way it looked, it seemed like a regular delivery truck, so maybe it was meant to deliver goods, but she wondered why it was parked near Leo's house. She did not remember Leo wanting to order something.The car drew closer to the electronic iron wrought gates. Antonio was about to open the gates with the remote when she heard a loud boom sound. She flinched and covered her ears because of how loud the sound was. The sound that reverberated through the night was not just any loud sound, it
Antonio used his finger to check for Miss Zendel's pulse and it was very weak. The loud sound of a siren, which broke the quietness of the night, indicated that the police and ambulance had arrived. He left Ruth, who was holding an unconscious Miss Zendel in her arms.Leonardo did not tell him that his fiancée was sick, and from the looks of it and the way her pulse was very weak, it was not just a normal panic attack; it looked like a heart attack. Or was it that he did not know that his fiancée was sick? The ambulance stopped close to them and the back doors opened. Two men stepped out of the ambulance with a stretcher. He saw that they were about to head to his boss's fiancée ex-boyfriend, who was bleeding from the wound he and his partner, Ruth, inflicted on him; he quickly called out to them."Over here!" He shouted and they both turned to look at him. He pointed towards an unconscious Miss Zendel. "She is the reason why I called you over. It seems like she was having something l
Leonardo scoffed. This has to be a sick joke. Were there cameras set to get his reaction, maybe from a show, or Megan was playing pranks on him? He glanced around and realized that he was just thinking too much. This was no joke, it was a fact. "She has heart disease? Are you sure? That cannot be possible." He shook his head in wonder and disbelief. "I don't believe it. She never told me anything like that. I know my Megan, she is not sick and she is very healthy. We have been living together but there was no discussion about that." He said.The doctor had a concerned look on her face and something that seemed like pity. Why was she pitying him, Megan is not sick. No way in hell Megan was sick and she did not tell him. Does her father also know? He never mentioned anything like that to him. He had already called her father before he arrived so that he would wait for him to arrive before he asked questions. Maybe her father would have an idea of what the doctors were saying."Your fian
"Are you Megan Zendel's father?" The doctor, Charles Hall asked."Yes. I am." He answered."Then I suggest that you come inside. We have some things to discuss about."Peter walked further into the room with his walking stick and shut the door to the office. He came up to him. "What is going on with my daughter? What happened to her?" He asked Leo.Leo swallowed; if her father was not aware, then how could he possibly break the news to him? The doctor glanced between him and Megan's father, he looked a bit confused before he adjusted his expression and took a deep breath."Please why don't you take a seat so I can explain this better to you." He told him. Megan's father finally looked at him."And you are?" He asked him."I am Miss Zendel's doctor. I have been treating her for a while now. As I said, this discussion is not supposed to be discussed while standing." He repeated patiently once again.Peter sat down on the chair beside Leo and Leo also took his seat. "What is going on?"
Megan's eyes slowly opened, and she found Leo over her; his face was a mask of relief, and there was something else in his expression; it was anger. Of course, she knew she fucked up hence the reason why he was angry, and she could not blame him. If she were him, she would have also blamed herself and be angry too. She heard him saying something, but she could not fathom what he was saying; his voice sounded muffled. He quickly rushed out. She took notice of her environment. She was in a private room she could not recognize, and she noticed that it was a hospital room. She slowly took in her surroundings from the sound of the beeping machine to the muffled sounds coming from the corridor. Seconds later, Leo came in with her doctor. The same doctor that has been treating her since the day she got sick. That alone confirmed her suspicions that she had been discovered, even her sickness too. She has a lot of explaining to do."You have finally come around. How are you feeling? Do you rec
Leo drew back then scoffed. "Julie knows? Of course, she is the best friend; she is supposed to know." He said sardonically."I can assure you that it is not like that. Actually, I did not tell her about it, Julie found it out on her own." She revealed. His expression calmed. "How?" "I did not tell her, she found out by herself when I had an episode after I went to go and visit Esther's grave. It was not that bad, I took my pills and it calmed down." "What! Why am I just hearing this today? You had a heart attack that day?""Yeah, sort of. It was because of her parents. They came to her grave way earlier than we expected, so some things led to another, and that happened; Julie was there, so I had no choice but to tell her because she had witnessed it herself, I could not deny what has been seen." She did not want to tell him about how Esther's mother slapped her, it would only provoke him more. "Trust me, Julie wanted to tell you or my father when she discovered that no one knew. I
"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
"Stop fidgeting, everything is going to be alright." Julie tried calming her down but it was not working. She had been anticipating this day two months ago and had been calm all those months, but why was she now so nervous? Today was her wedding day with Leo. The both of them had decided to get married quickly since that was what they were originally doing before they broke up. They decided to get married in Hawaii, and their wedding was private, with only family, friends, and a few close business associates."I don't know why I am like this." She almost sobbed out. "Everything is perfect but I cannot still phantom the fact that I am finally getting married." Her voice was low. Julie, who was wearing her light pink silk bridesmaid dress, grabbed her shoulder and turned her to face the long-standing mirror in the bridal waiting room at the luxury resort where the wedding was being held. "Look at how beautiful and perfect you look," Julie said.Megan stared at herself. She really loo
"Paris! Paris was the place you were taking me to?" She gasped in sheer shock.When they arrived at the airport, she was too stunned to speak, and now that they are in the Eiffel Tower, she is finally able to regain herself. He had taken them straight here and did not even stop at a hotel. Not that she was complaining, though; it was just crazy and nerve-racking."Yeah. Do you like it?" Leo asked her from across the table. They were at a restaurant in Eiffel Tower, and their table was in a corner that was away from the rest of the restaurant. "Yes. I love it." She replied happily."Would you like to order now?" She nodded and took the menu. A few minutes later, she had ordered, and their food had arrived. "Thank you for bringing me here. I really love it." "We can come here anytime you want to. Besides, you are no longer afraid of the height so it won't be a problem coming here again." He said, his voice had a teasing note.She glared at him playfully. "Did you have to mention th
"Why don't you go and continue living with him? I mean, what is the point of coming back to your father's house in the night when you spend the whole day at his house? Also, you keep yapping on about how he is treating you well." Julie ranted.Megan gasped. "What the fuck, Julie? I am not yapping. What am I? A dog?" She exclaimed in disbelief."At this point, you have been sounding like one these days." Megan glared at her and Julie turned away from her. She clicked her tongue and continued speaking. "Anyways, I want to move in soon with Leo." "Do it already. I am sure you have been dying to do just that since you got back together." Julie turned to her, all sign of playfulness gone and her expression turned serious. "What about the wedding? Are you guys going to continue ahead with it?""Oh, the wedding... We are not rushing things right now and we want to take it slow to see how it goes." She said. However, that was not what she was feeling right now. She wished the wedding would
Her driver slowly approached Leo's house; she just remembered that she did not have the remote to his gate because she had left it in his house before all of this started. The driver stopped at the front of his automatic iron wrought gate, she saw the driver glance at her through the rearview mirror."I know. I will do it myself." She came down from the and walked towards the small digital object near the gate. She stood in front of it. A small device near the gate scanned her face, and then the gate opened. She went back into the car and her driver drove inside the house. Leo actually still left her facial ID in his security system. He was actually expecting her to come. Is that why he also refused to send her clothes and belongings back to her? She had been expecting her clothes and belongings, but she did not want to contact him. Was that what he was expecting? That man was really sly. The car pulled up to the front of the house and Megan was about to come down when the driver's
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.
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
