“Whatever thing we have together is just a fling, why would I ever be into you? Of all people out there? Come on, Stella. Wake up and stop being a kid.”Stella's ears suddenly grow hot in a few seconds at Rhett's hurting words, yeah, she finds his words really hurting. “W –what…?” She could not help herself but stutter. “What did you just say, Rhett?”“You heard me clearly. You did nothing for me but your selfish interest, Ella.” He uttered, almost yelling at her. “All you have ever done was for yourself because you always get to benefit from them, yeah? Stop acting like you are a messiah who managed to fall in love.”“Of course, I am. Yeah, I'm nothing but a messiah who fall head over heels for you, Rhett.” She sprouted out the words she's been bottling in for years, banging her fist loudly on the table before them. “Why would I ever spend years with you if I'm not? Those years really mean nothing to you? Not even a thing?”At first, Stella forced herself to believe it was just the
Damon was confused on what to do at the moment. He had never been in a tight spot as he was, he could only stare at his laptop in frustration as he banged his hand loudly on the desk.“Arrgh…!” He groaned deeply with lines visible on his forehead. “I can't even focus on anything.”He could only hop for the last option on his mind, which is informing Dwayne, if possibly, he is supposed to know her whereabouts since searching up her name online is out of the list.How is he supposed to when he knew no other name of hers except Megan?If he should inform Dwayne, aside being tongue lashed, he is sure he will come running on the slightest chance he gets.What if it affects the multimillion project he is currently working on? The Dwayne he grows up to know does not think things twice before doing it.“Tsk… This is getting much more complicated than thought.” He muttered with his palm covering his face.He keeps getting more confused the more he looks in to it. Finding her at all cost should
"Stella...?" Megan did not bother to conceal how shocked she was at seeing Stella at her doorpost.She had thought it was Andros since it almost evening and he promised to check up on her around that time but got surprised instead.For her to think Stella would be the one at the door was out of the list. It was too hard to digest, for real.What would she call it? The audacity? Uh, yeah –the mist nearest description to it. If not, Stella won't gather the effrontery to still appear before her.‘Why is she here?’ Megan tried racking her brain for any good reason for it but couldn't come up with any."Uhm..." Stella hummed, her lips curled up into a thin and dried smile. "I suppose you must be surprised by my presence, is it not?""I'm surprised, yes." Megan replied, earning a wide smug grin from Stella. "–not at your presence but at the audacity, you gathered to still show your disgusting face before me.""I suppose that too, I guess," Stella uttered with a slight shoulder shrug as she
He smiled widely, exposing his dental as he stared at her. His smile was too wide and maybe stupidly for anyone of his status but he mind less –no, he did not care and not even a bit.In return for his smile, she glared hard at him, almost eyeing him maliciously and this was enough to make him withdraw his smile but he did not, still wondering the reason behind her harsh reaction."Hey there, Meg..."But she was quick to cut him off immediately, sparing him no chance to complete his sentence. "You and I both know you are not supposed to be here, Rhett." Her voice was nowhere near friendly, same as the expression in her eyes."What...?" Rhett stared at her with an obfuscated look."Why are you here?" She asked again, her tone getting icier and her cold stare seems like it would take forever to melt back to how it used to be.He was taken aback as his smile fade away, dropping faster to it least. Did he just hear wrong? Are his ears playing tricks on him?“Is that supposed to be a quest
It's been three days already with no sign of Megan whatsoever and Damon had given up on the thought of tracking her down himself at that moment, he know he needed help from his brother.At that point, he finds himself caring less about his brother terminating the business project he went on the trip on, he can find himself a more good-yielding project some other time in the future.Only one thing really matters to him. His woman. He needed to find her at all costs, what if something happened to her but he's lacking behind and exposing her to more danger because of his inability to trail her?For the first time since he could remember, Damon finds himself useless and incapable. His clean records were nothing as he thought them meaningless because he finally find out there was something he was unable and incapable of doing.He wish he could just smack himself so hard and give himself the scolding he deserves but he was aware of how it will change nothing. He should just focus on Dwayne
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
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
