It was going to rain. She could tell from the way the weather was changing. Why did it have to be today? Of all days? She stared out the window as the car sped through the road. They were heading to the cemetery where she was buried. They normally went early in the morning every year to pay their respect so they wouldn't clash with her parents who usually come in the evening. She has told Julie not to follow her since she was still on the good side of her parents but Julie has insisted on following her all these years. She even offered to always drive her there so she wouldn't be able to refuse. "Are you okay?" Julie's voice interrupted the silence of the car. "I am fine." She answered without looking at her."You don't seem fine. You have been staring out the window since we started this journey." She noted."Where do you want me to look at? Your face?" She snapped. Megan let out a deep breath. "I'm sorry. Just please let me be."After that small conversation, the rest of the journ

"I would like a cappuccino," Julie told the Spanish woman."I would like a strawberry latte," Megan said. "What would you like, Mr. Alexpoulos?""Iced latte would be nice." He said. The Spanish woman left them to get their order. "Secondly, don't call me Mr. Alexpoulos, just call me Georgiou, I would prefer that." She and Julie turned to him."Oh, I am sorry about that. I did not know that you would not be comfortable with it."He waved a dismissive hand. "Don't stress about it. I forgive you. It was just that hearing Mr in my name made me feel old." "Ah. I understand." Megan said while nodding. She needed to do it quickly so that she would get going. She was scared that Esther's parents would see her there. Since the day Esther was buried, she has been avoiding her parents because they blamed her for what happened to Esther, she was also to blame because it was partially her fault. So ever since then, she has been avoiding them. Not because she was afraid of them but because she fea

'He threatened to make my business fail and I would not be able to get up to be who I was anymore because he would destroy me.' 'He was watching everything that you were doing from the day you started, till you finished.' 'If you still don't believe me, check out your relationship and how you met him. Is it really coincidental or natural?' 'Leonardo Valenti is not who you think he is.' Georgiou Alexpoulos's words kept ringing in her head as they headed to the cemetery. After their lengthy dramatic conversation that took a turn to where she wasn't expecting, she and Julie ended up leaving first. Their coffees forgotten. She did not even have an appetite to down anything. She might end up throwing up if she tried."Are you still thinking about what he said? Do you believe him?" Julie asked, interrupting her thoughts when the car stopped at a red traffic light.She massaged her forehead. "I don't know Julie. Georgiou is not a man who would lie for no reason. I am trying hard not to beli
MEGAN'S BEST DEAL: Once Betrayed, Now Desired WHAT ARE THEY DOING HERE?
The cemetery was quiet as it should be. The somber atmosphere settled over the cemetery like a weighted veil. They both came down from the car at the same time with their flower in hand. Megan heard the distinct sound of the car being locked but her attention wasn't on the car. Julie moved to where she was standing and held her hands, Megan looked down at their entwined hands and up to her face where she wore a slight smile. They stepped through the wrought-iron gates, and the crunch of gravel sounded beneath their feet. They were not the only ones in the cemetery, other people were there, mostly dressed in black just like she and Julie were.The sound of the outside world was muffled when they entered through a door that led to a big field where the graves were. They moved slowly, reverently, between the graves, Megan's eyes were drawn to the rows of headstones, each one a silent marker of a life once lived, now memorialized in weathered stone. The inscriptions, etched with care, tol
MEGAN'S BEST DEAL: Once Betrayed, Now Desired I AM SORRY: AN UNWANTED APOLOGY.
Her cheeks were stinging so bad but she welcomed the pain. "Aunty!" Julie screamed in shock from the way Mrs Sallow just slapped her. She rushed to her side and held her. Despite her scream, Mrs Sallow ignored Julie and continued."You dare preach nonsense to me? How dare you utter those useless things? Would your words bring back Esther from the dead? What is the point of those meaningless words when my daughter is rotting in the ground? What would your words change? Would it bring her back to life? Would it change what you have done to her? She was innocent in all of this, because of your childhood stupidity, she is dead! Dead and gone! Never coming back." She ranted.A tear slipped from Megan's eyes. "I am sorry." Was all she could say. She could not do anything else except apologize and she felt like hell just because of that.She gripped the collar of her dress. "Don't fucking apologize to me or else I will rip your hair out! Do not apologize to me if you cannot bring her back t
MEGAN'S BEST DEAL: Once Betrayed, Now Desired A HEART ATTACK.
After Julie finished talking, she was breathing hard, her hair was sticking to her face as the rain poured down heavily on them. The thunder was rumbling loudly. Mr. Sallow went to his wife and held her. "The rain is pouring heavily now. Let's leave or we can take cover if you are not ready to leave now." He said but she was gawking at her and Julie who was on the floor."And so what?" She choked out. "No matter how much she does all those things, it won't still bring back my baby to me. Do you know what always goes on in my mind anytime that I remember my darling girl? I always wished I had not let her out of the house that day. She was supposed to go out with me but she ended up going to your house. She begged me so much that I had no choice but to let her go. To this day, I regret my decision. I had wished every day that I should have forced her to follow me out that day then none of this would have happened. Despite what you did to my daughter. I tried to forgive you but I could
MEGAN'S BEST DEAL: Once Betrayed, Now Desired FOR REAL.
There was a long stretch of silence in the car. The only sound heard was the rain patterning on the car. She saw Julie blink. "A heart condition? How? What is the heart condition?" She asked."The sickness is coronary artery disease. The type I have is Stable ischemic. It does not happen all of a sudden. It is a slow one that is why I have lived with it for a long time without knowing or noticing any serious signs." She said with a low voice.Julie shook her head multiple times. "I cannot seem to process all of this. You have been so healthy and you exercise. You eat good food and you don't look like an unhealthy person to start with, neither do you have the character of an unhealthy person. How the hell did you get it?""It is the same sickness that my mother had."Julie jerked back in shock. "What? How? But isn't that the sickness that killed her?" She asked, her voice sounded incredulous like she could not believe it. I mean even she did not want to believe it but oh well, she had
MEGAN'S BEST DEAL: Once Betrayed, Now Desired HER REAL PLAN.
"You are getting married? And it concerns your health? Explain what you mean because I can't seem to understand." She said."I really don't want my father to find out about what is happening with me. It would break me and I cannot afford that." She paused."So?" Julie's eyes were wide and expectant."So I made this plan up. I will get married to him so that he will become my legal guardian. They won't let me proceed with the surgery without the signature of any legal guardian so after I marry him he will help me to sign it once I explain my situation to him. I know Leo, he loves me so he will do it for me.""You want to use him? You don't want to marry him for love? I thought you loved him?""I do love him. I love him so much and I want to spend the rest of my life with him, I am only speeding the process. Plus it is not a bad idea. That way, my father will not find out about my sickness and I will get whole again." She finished with a smile."But Megan, even if your plan works how ar
