Not more than twenty minutes less, the car stopped. Damon joined the parking and parked his car properly."Come on, little rose..." Damon urged her to hop down from the car. Megan did with a smile on her face and they walked into the in 5 Damon's fingers intertwined into hers.Megan stare around to register where they were and she almost choke on her breath, tightening her finger around his.Wait, what?! is this what he means as a perfect place? Of course, he is kidding, how can he call this a perfect place?This Is nowhere near perfect, who refers to this place as a perfect place to spend time with someone?"Hmm, Damon...?" She called his name slowly with her eyes still doing the perambulating. Damon answered with one of his brows raised as he gave her a quick glance. "Yes...?""Are you sure you are not missing something? Is this the place you meant as perfect?" She asked, hoping to hear a negative reply from him. She really wants him to say no but then..?"Yeah. I'm sure I'm not mi
The house, she knew isn't just a playground of any sort, and braced up for whatever thing that's to come up since she knew what was to be expected for the next ten to fifteen minutes.At first, it seems like a quiet alley with nothing related to scary in there. But then, the erring silence was scary too and it looks like she's having goosebumps on her skin.She held onto Damon's arms tightly, clinging onto them so closely. "It's not a very good idea to give in the first place..." She muttered to herself as she trod slowly and gently, her footstep becoming heavier each second and her heart thumping very fast in her chest."It's not a very good idea to give in?" Damon asked her, breaking the awkward silence as he repeat her words.'Was I that loud, eh?' She asked, muttering within herself. 'That was not supposed to be loud. Arrgh..!'"We can just go back if you don't mind. I promised this earlier and it looks like..."Megan was quick to cut him short before he could complete his words.
Megan would not stop panting as she hold her left palm to her chest in a tight manner. "That was..." Due to her continuous panting, she was unable to continue her statement. "Pfft..."Damon stared at her closely. "Are you okay now, Meg... I mean little rose?" He asked with so much concern laced in his voice as he quickly corrected the 'Megan' he called with 'little rose'. "You look like you are not very much okay since you won't stop panting for the past few minutes now."Megan raised her left palm, resting her right palm on her knee. "Allow. Me. To. Calm. Down. First." Megan sprouts out her words, picking them one after the other."Fine, I'll allow you to calm your racing down for a while as you ask. I just hope I won't be waiting for ages." Damon muttered with his both arms folded across his chest."Hey. Stop being ridiculous..." She said, backing her words with a small laugh instead. "It's clearly impossible for me to calm my nerves down for ages. That's a funny line from anyone es
"I'll just drop you off at home, I need to go to the office. I totally forgot about the urgent file I need to sign before the day runs out." Damon broke the awkward silence for a few minutes before reaching his home. "Don't stay up late for me, I might stay out late."Megan ignored him, not acknowledging his presence or his words. She just don't want to talk to him, though she did feel anger towards him no matter how much she tried."I see you don't want to talk, do you?" He asked but she give no reply. "If that's the case, I see no reason returning home tonight then. I'll just stay out tonight till your anger toward me subside.""What...?" Megan finds herself sprouting out when she decides not to reply his words or talk to him."Yeah. I can't stay in the same house with you when you are still angry. I mean, it's clear I'm not safe with you. What if you attack me in the middle of the night?" Damon Uttered with a straight face."Huh...?!" Megan raised her brows in surprise and confusio
Damon finished going through the files he needed to go through and signed the documents too. He was tempted to sort other paper works too with the thought of finishing them soon."I shouldn't waste time on these, I should be done before I know it." He concluded within himself. "Abandoning these today will only be a heap of work for me tomorrow. Right."And then...He remembered he left Megan all alone in the car. "I told her I won't stay long but here I am, getting myself buried in works. I guess she will at least understand if I manage to explain things to her." He successfully convinces himself, so as not to be eaten up by guilt. "I would be as fast as I can."Barely spending up to ten minutes, Damon was already buried in what he was busy with not remembering any other thing aside from the files and documents before him.After a couple of minutes, almost resolving to an hour, Damon suddenly dropped the paperwork with him as he reached for the telephone next to him but then, he withd
Damon knows he can't tell her he skipped his memory and that leaving her there wasn't intentional. And on the other hand, he did not want to lie to her because right now, he feels like a husband being interrogated by his possessive wife.In addition, he seems to be a very terrible liar. Damon sighed as he ran his fingers through his hair. "Look, I have no good excuse cause..."The impatient side of Megan did not allow Damon to finish his words before she jumped in, cutting him off. "Hmm, I see. You are reacting because I was pretty angry at you earlier, right?" She asked, making a childish expression. "That's enough reason for anyone to act just the way you did."Damon was surprised, all his mindset and thought was that she will be angry with him again since it seems like a new routine for her. She, herself, comes up with an excuse for him and he's going to use it to bail himself out."Huh, maybe yes. I'm thinking maybe you are still angry at me and decided to give you a little space
"Since you've agreed to it, I think we should get you a cloth against tomorrow's ball," Damon uttered after seconds of silence. "What did you think?""I don't think it's necessary, I've got tons of new clothing that are ball fitted so you don't need to waste money on irrelevant things like this," Megan muttered, objecting to his words. She don't think she will be comfortable with him buying her clothes, she just won't."I also don't think I'm wasting money on irrelevant things, getting you new wears for the masquerade ball can never and would never be irrelevant. So, we are getting you something new for tomorrow." Damon said, clearly not buying Megan's idea."What...? You really don't need to..." Megan voiced, opposing him."I don't think her royals highness needs to object to this. Remember you told me you will have me do things my way and this is my chance, your highness." Damon uttered in a husky voice. "You shouldn't go back on your word, that's very bad and you know that.""You s
Megan watched Damon Prepare their breakfast while sitting on the counter, with her arms folded across her chest."You know, right now, I feel like I forced you to do this," Megan said with a small sigh afterward."What...? You do?" Damon asked as he continue slicing the cabbage without sparing her a glance. "To be honest, I feel the same way too.""But I do not feel bad seeing you like this, not even a bit," Megan added with a lopsided grin on her face."Why that, eh?" Damon fussed, glaring hard at her. "You made me prepare breakfast against my will and you are not feeling bad about it? What if I lack cooking skills and end up making gross as breakfast?""I do not need to worry about that part since I know how good chef you are," Megan replied with a straight face."Oh, that's the reason you aren't feeling bad about this?" Damon's voice was calmer than it was at first but it still comes out like he is ranting.'Is this how she behaves? Forcing people to do things against their will?'
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
