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
