Megan is nowhere near crazy instead and Dwayne feared she might not be fit for Damon's recklessly.This time –Damon made the mess instead which was always the other way around."You have every right to be selfish but have you ever thought about how much it will affect the kids since they are already used to her? Did you?" Dwayne half yelled over the phone.With his tone and how much he was boiling, he might have Damon punched in the face if he was near him."I know. I should have thought about it twice before..." Damon bit his lips, unable to complete his sentence. Dwayne was right, he did not have a second thought before acting.What should he call it?"This is seriously annoying –no, I mean, you are as annoying as any other punk out there. I wonder what type of excuse you might have given the kids though." Dwayne muttered his last few words in a low tone, sounding more like he was trailing off."I think the blames can wait for now, Dwayne." Damon voiced out, louder than he was few s
Damon's patience was running out but he was still trying to hold on to himself since Dwayne asked him not to do anything yet until he arrives back in State.Although, he is not aware of when Dwayne will be returning to States but Damon could only hope it will worth the wait. He hates waiting as it always seems like it usually sucks his energy away.He cussed under his breath with a faint hiss too, his anger was almost telling on his facial expression and he was finding it hard to conceal it. At one point, he did not bother to hide his frustration anymore."That rude –argh!" He groaned almost silently as he creased his brows deeply with no friendly look on his."Dad...?" The voice snapped him out of his train of thought and he jolted out a little. "Are you okay?"Damon was quick to wear a feigned smile on his face as he turned his attention toward the source of the voice. "Oh, yes!" He replied in his calm voice. "I'm perfectly fine.""I doubt if you are." Arielle shook her head negativ
Damon had just put the kids to sleep as he slowly close the door behind him, so as not to attract any noise which might wake the sleeping kids.Damon was almost startled but he managed to compose himself as he spares at the figure before him with a narrow gaze."Theresa –?" He uttered in a questioning but low tone to be sure of himself."Are you surprised?" She asked with her left brow raised. She was resting on the wall with her both arms folded tightly across her chest –and she was just a few feet away from Damon's doorpost.She had intentionally stayed there, maybe to take him by surprise."Surprise...?" Damon asked with a sarcasm laced in his voice. "Why should I be surprised?"Theresa rolled her eyeballs at his words. "I see." Her reply was plain but yet sounded nonchalant. "I don't think there is anything capable of surprising you again. Right."Damon creased his brows, unable to understand what Theresa was trying to insinuate. "What do you mean?" He doped out, his tone almost d
Dwayne and Hilary's death has been confirmed but Damon just find it too hard to digest the news within himself, he still couldn't believe his ears.Since the previous night he left home, he returned home late the next dawn and the kids were waiting impatiently for him."Where have you been, Dad." That was the first question Arielle asked immediately Damon step into the living room with concern written all over her face. "You kept us worried."Damon could not find the right word best in reply to Arielle's question. The kids could sense that all is not well with him seeing him in a downcast state. If only he would tell them what the problem is."Seems like something is bothering you, Dad," Miguel said quietly and the rest nods their head in agreement. "Do you mind sharing it with us?"At this point, Damon forced out a smile that the kids knew it was not a real one. "Kids, you don't have to worry yourself that much. I'm perfectly okay just stressed out. I'll be fine.""Dad, if you insist
The coffee shop is more than what Damon had expected to see. He had pictured a small shop with a few customers but he was wrong. Of course, he could say that the wealthy ones are the ones who do visit here. "Hey there, Eleanor..." A young lady of about twenty-two years hailed at her, ignoring the presence of Damon or probably she did not notice that they were together. "It has been a while since you came here. Seems it is work pressure." "You are right, Gia. I have been busy lately." Eleanor agreed. "But today, I am here to see the shop's owner for a personal matter. Is she by chance around?" "Yes, she is..." Gia replied. "It seems you are lucky since she rarely visits. Wait here while I go inform her –and I'm sorry, Mr, you can have your seat." She uttered while she turned towards Damon. Gia went into the inner chamber of the shop and returned a few minutes later. "You can go in." She said immediately she got to them. "I assume you know the way to her office. Right, Eleanor?
Damon was shocked and surprised at what he is seeing and maybe speechless too. No one can convince him that there is someone living here for the past five years. "Could this be that Megan has not returned home or she had abandoned the house already?" Damon thought with in himself as his heart was shattered into a million pieces.The thought of him not going to ever find Megan again was enough to destroy him and leave him broken. "If she did not returned home, where could she have possibly gone? The Megan I know is not the type that keep close friends." He continued in his train of thought.To Damon, he knew all hope is already lost and he can never find Megan again unless a miracle occurred –and he wished the miracle could happen at the moment. "Could this be that I have already lost three souls so dear to me? First it was Dwayne and Hilary and now all the hope of seeing Megan had come crumbling on my face." He thought with heavy heart.What is he going to do? He can't raise these
Its over three months since Megan left the Zahan's and they have probably forgotten her?No, of course not. Each of them still hold the memory of Megan which seems to be part of them.And three months had past since the quadruplets lost their parent with out their knowledge.When ever they ask about their parent or to give them a call, Damon always make sure to come up with an excuse.Some times, he take it as far as fabricating a message and sent it to the kids like it was from their parents and most times, he sends gifts under Dwayne and Hilary's shadow. Damon has been the one raising the kids singlehandedly with out complaining and getting a nanny for them is out of the option.Not even will he allow Theresa helped him out, he still find it hard to trust her even if it's just a bit. He can't trust the safety of the kids at her hand, and not even that of Jason too, Theresa own son.Things seems to be going on pretty well except the fact that the house some times feels empty like so
After dinner, the Zahan's sat in the living room each of them probably lost in their own world. Damon decided to break the silence by starting a conversation first. "Jason..." He called. "It seeks like you are missing your Mum right now. Am I right?" "Yes, Dad." Jason said truthfully. "I wonder how she is going to cope with out me." "But you are the one that declare you want to stay with us, is it not? Everyone took it to mind to respect your words with out raising an eyebrow." Arielle replied. "That is because Mum seldom have time for me. She's always busy and if I return back alongside with her, my friends at school will continue to bully me. But you guys here are different you showed me what a real family is." Jason explained, letting out sad sigh after ward. "We are only reciprocating to what Mum and Dad had thought us." Miguel replied. "We should never bully anyone no matter the circumstances. Everyone is equal and we can attest the truth in it." Damon smiled at what Migu
Months has passed since Stella left Rhett and he could not wish for any thing else. With Stella finally leaving him holds a lot of interpretation to him, it was more than a relief.Truth be told, the first few weeks without Stella was bored and he felt empty but he dreaded the wish of having her back but soon enough, he was able to adapt to it.Rhett spend the months alone, burying himself with works and more works. He was not the same hard and temperamental boss he used to be any more and felt more good in himself having a good relationship with them.He is barely seen leaving his seat till the day was over except for if there is a board meeting for him to attend, if not that, he never leaves his seat.The day Megan had paid him a visit and invited him to her wedding, his feelings for her was different. It was far different from lust or love and he loved the feelings a lot. If only he has realized it sooner..."I see no reason for you to decline my invitation coupled with the fact t
By the time he got home, the kids were already in their room and then he went to meet them inside. "Hey kids..." He called out for their attention and they all rushed to him. "Dad..." They hugged him passionately and they could noticed that he has something to tell them. "What's that Dad?" Jade asked after they had disengaged from the hug. "It sees you've got something to tell us, spill it out." "Yeah, right..." Damon admitted and nodded in agreement. "You should guess who is here, kids." The kids were confused, someone has really came to visit them? They are not really good at guessing but they have to try this time around, who could have visit them today? "Is it Tatiana?" Arielle asked with smiles on her face, she could barely think of any other person than her old friend. "Nope..." Damon shook his head in disagreement earning a frown look from Arielle. "Jason's Mum?" Nell questioned hoping his guess was right but was disappointed when Damon said no to him too. "You kids sh
The silence was deafening as it hang awkwardly on the air. It seems like the two humans opposite each other were being forbidden to utter even a single words.Damon's face was bent as his eyes were strongly fixated on the files on his table. He badly wanted to talk to her, to say some thing to her —any thing!His heart ached as his feelings were growing faster again for her, his mouth yearn for him to confess every thing to her —every thing he ever felt for, without holding back or hiding any of it from her.But then he can't! The thought of him holding back breaks him more than ever and clearly enough to make him go crazy and nut.The lady before him wasn't the same Megan he know —no, she turns out to be a different version and total opposite of her.He vividly remembered the first day they had met and had called her by her name but then..."Megan..." He called her in his oh–so–calmed voice, stopping her abruptly on her track.She turned towards him with an innocent smile on her face
Rhett continue to stare at Stella wondering how and why she had did it. How could Stella have done some thing so despicable like that.For all these years, he had trust her not knowing she is just a wolf in sheep clothing. Had Stella not told him that Megan was having extra affair outside the relationship and he had foolishly trust her knowing full well that she is Megan's friend and will not lie on her? Stella was feeling uncomfortable with this unusual stare that Rhett is giving her. He had never gave her this kind of look and Stella did not know why he is doing so now.He had left the office quite early this morning after they had a lively conversation. Although, Rhett never told her where he was going even when she asked him severally.But now, ever since he returned, he had not say a word to her rather, he was just staring at her with boiling rage. "Rhett..." Stella called since she could no longer bear the silence and weird attitude Rhett is putting on. "What exactly is the p
"Hey there, Meg..." Rhett hailed casually with smiles in his face unsure of the right word to use for her. "It's so good to see you after all these years." "Hi, Rhett. Its so good to see you too." Megan reciprocated although without smiles. "Maybe, though." "To be sincere Meg, I really looked for you after the day you chased me like a pest from your house." Rhett told her, rubbing his palm together. "But each time I keep coming, I always find the door locked and I usually don't get the chance of seeing you too. I really looked for you but all my efforts proved futile. It produce no reward or effect but yet, I never gave up on searching for you until the day we meet at that board meeting." Megan leaned her back on the chair as if she's enjoying the conversation which she is not. She know Rhett won't leave if she did not comply with him. Yeah, she have to act in accordance with him for today. "And what would you have done if you have find me then, eh?" Megan questioned in a demandi
"So what were you saying when we were at the car pack earlier?" Rhett questioned. "Now I can hear you with my full ears." "That question should go to you, Rhett." Stella told him in reply. "That question is not meant for me but you because you are the one asking me about her." "I know so." Rhett nods slowly. "But then you have not given me a positive reply." "Come to think of it Rhett, why would you be asking me of her. Do I look like her keeper to you or am I the one who had invited her to the board meeting." Stella was visibly angry and Rhett know so. "Your answer seems suspicious." Rhett told her. "I just asked you a simple question but you flared up as if what I was asking is a prohibition." "It is indeed prohibited if you did not know." Stella replied almost yelling but was wise enough to control her self. "And have you forgotten the punishment she deserves for hindering your clients from patronizing you any longer. Are you now going to back off all because the firm owner
Immediately the meeting had come to an end, Stella walked out hurriedly as if was probably heading somewhere or maybe there is someone already waiting outside for her and she need to see the person as soon as possible. She did not bother to wait for Rhett who was still talking to some business partner inside the conference hall. "I need to talk to her as soon as I can before Rhett would notice." She said to herself as she wait endlessly for Megan. Just as she was tempted to check what's keeping Megan in for so long, she saw her walk out of the hall all alone. "It just work on my own favour. She's coming out alone and I like the fact that she is." Stella smile wryly as she appeared at the front of Megan giving her that mischievous grin of hers. "Hey there, Miss Starks..." Stella hailed but yet, Megan is not that daft not to have noticed the sarcasm laced in Stella's word. "Good to see you again, I guess so." Megan did not have the time to exchange words with Stella –it would be
Could this really be her? Rhett doubt it but then, the secretary had just mentioned her name as Miss Starks and that is Megan's surname and he knew so.Could this really means Megan's owns the new firm which has been hindering his clients from patronizing him any longer.If truly she's the owner, then will he still go ahead on investigating and punishing the firm owner? He know he can't do such not when the firm is that of Megan's own. But where have she been all this while and only to return and then built a currently rising firm which has also be the talk of the town too.How could she have possibly done this in just a few time and yet, he never got the clue that she is already in town. Rhett never knew Megan to be this clever such in a way that she would have built such a firm in just a short period of time. "That means we should not underestimate any one no matter the position we find them." Rhett conclude within himself as he watch Megan take her seat and the new Megan seems
Rhett sat impatiently waiting for Stella who seems not to be coming anytime soon. He had asked her to meet him since ten minutes ago but she is not yet to come. He was tempted to call her but he changed his mind again. "What is even taking her so long to arrive." Rhett wonder. "And she is aware of the board meeting we are attending. But yet she is taking ages to arrive here." After what seems like eternity to Rhett, Stella walked him giving him that lustful smile but Rhett is in no mood to reciprocate. "Hey there, Rhett..." Stella greet walking closer to him to give him a slight hug. "Your face looks gloomy, what's wrong with you?" "Just take a look at the time, Stella." Rhett said ignoring her question. "You are already fifteen minutes late to the time I asked you to arrive." "Chill dear..." Stella smiled at him as she sat on the table next to Rhett. "It was not my fault that I am late. And besides have I ever came late or disappoint you before." "Then why did you do so this
