It seems the kids were too blind enough to notice Megan's silence or they are used to it. Whichever it is, none of the children asked about the reason behind her awkward silence or talk about it till they got home.The day was still young when the Supposed Zahans got home, even after a long stay outside their home. The kids were still in their excited and cheerful mood, talking about the day's activities with Damon listening with rapt attention. He is always interested in the kid's talk but sometimes he never chipped in on their conversation, he just pretended not to hear or listen. Nevertheless, he loves listening to them and couldn't stop imagining how kids of their age could argue and solve things amongst themselves without anyone's help.He marveled at their level of speech and intelligence. They are just too adorable and precious little quadruplets.After the cinema where they went to see a movie, Megan and Damon took each of them to different places of their choice to have the
It was almost late in the evening and near time to prepare dinner. Since the children do not eat much, Megan decided to prepare something light for them as their dinner. Or maybe, snacks will do since they enjoyed it over any other food."It's time I prepare dinner, I'll just make you guys a quick and light meal," Megan informed the kids. "How is that?""That will be nice, I guess..." Nell said with a slight shoulder shrug."What are you preparing for dinner mom?" Jade asked her."Ehh..." Megan sounded like she is thinking of the kind of meal or snacks to prepare for them. "I get it now. I think pancakes and milkshakes should be okay with you guys? Since it's been more than a week since you guys take pancake and kind of easier too.""Pancake, huh...?" Miguel creased in brows and Megan nodded."Yes, what's wrong with it?" Megan asked wondering why he acted weird at the mention of it."Nothing is wrong with but can we just go for something else? Why pancake?" Miguel muttered."Fine, si
He wanted to scream it so loud and yell it to their hearing, but he decided to restrain himself, screaming with in himself mentally.“Yeah, aren't I supposed to…?” Damon muttered. Megan noticed the slight discomfort in his voice and couldn't help but chuckle, attracting the kid's attention to herself.“Why are you laughing, mom…?” The kids asked as they gaze at her and their voice was demanding too. “Did someone say something funny? Maybe uncle Damon?”'Okay, busted…' She thought within herself. 'What excuse do I give to them now?'“Mom…?” Arielle called her again, snapping her out of her train of thought. “Thought we asked a question earlier?”“Uhh… It was…” Megan was trying to get a better explanation, knowing well that they won't back down until she gives them a good explanation for her laughter.“Whatever was making her laugh should not be your concern for now, okay?” Damon quickly interrupted, saving Megan from unnecessary explanation, and she heaved a small sigh. He gave her “yo
They finish with the baking with Megan giving instructions only, since that's what the kids want, and she barely touched anything until the baking process was done, and the cake was baked.“You can just tell us what to do, mom. Watching you doing everything alone would be boring, don't you think?” Arielle had said.“Yeah…”“Fine, I'll instruct you and carry on doing some other things that needed to be done.” That was Megan's plain reply. “I'll quickly make something for dinner for uncle Damon and me.”“That's more like it, mom…” Arielle uttered with a smile on her face. Megan instructed them to put on their apron, and she helped them in knotting it.They finished baking the cake and Megan thought them how best to design a cake using different extracts of their choice for it.“You guys did a wonderful job, I'm sure it will taste way better than it look.” Megan commented with a smile.“Yes, it will. Since we have a good teacher to show us our way around with it.” Miguel said with a prou
“What is it you want to ask about?” Damon asked immediately they are done with their meal. This time, they were all sitting in the living room, with Megan excluded. She had excused herself to do the dishes.“Is it true, uncle?” Arielle inquired again with eagerness as she snuggled next to Damon. “That watching the sun rise and set is really a beautiful sight to behold?”Damon smiled at her question. “So, who told you this? How did you get to know about this?” He replied her question with a question too.“On Friday, our homeroom teacher taught us about the sun and its surrounding planets, plus the heavenly bodies too.” Arielle said and paused a bit.“So…” Damon urged her to go on with her talk.“A classmate of mine told me she had watch the sun rise and set with her dad and she loves the sight so much, she is a kind of nature lover. I guess.” Arielle explained with keenness.“Yeah. I heard of something like that too. But I did not read much meaning into it.” Jade chipped in, in additio
“What if I can?” She asked. “I need a few months of breaks from the both of you, since you both never get tired of getting on my nerves and picking on me. I'll fine with Nell when you guys are away on your vacation.”“Talk of vacation, I think you don't need to stress yourself about it cause your wish is being fulfilled since there is one around the corner.” Megan said. “Do you remember, Arielle?”“Eh, vacation that I know of?” Arielle asked with her brows creased into thin lines. “I don't think there is one I have an idea of.”“Of course, there is. But this one is different from the one you wished for. Miguel and Jade won't be the only one going but you and Nell too and it's just a three days vacation or should I say trip?” Megan explained, giving her hints and then…“I think I remember now…” She said almost immediately. “The school camping vacation?”“Yeah…” Megan replied with a nod.“Oh, yeah…” The boys squealed.“School camping trip? What is it all about?” Damon asked, interjectin
It's a new dawn already and a Monday morning. Megan had prepared the kids and their backpacks and other belongings of theirs that seems to be needful too.They were patiently waiting for Damon and decided to chat amongst themselves till he is done as Megan was busy carrying their backpacks to the car."This time around, I feel odd and wish the school can just postpone the trip," Arielle said truthfully. "I'm not moved as I used to with the previous trips.""Ah, why...?" The boys chorused."You are always the type who loves moving around and hate staying at a spot for long, what happens now?" Miguel asked with concern laced in his voice. "Are you sure you are okay, Riel?""Uh, of course, I am. I just feel weird about this and just don't want to go with you guys anymore." Arielle muttered and she sighed afterward. "I don't know where this feeling is coming from.""Uh, I don't know, maybe you can just explain to mum about this? I'm sure she will understand since this is unlikely you." Ne
"Miguel, you are the oldest among the four of you guys and you know what to do right?" Megan told Miguel and he nodded curtly."Of course, I do..." Miguel replied. "I'm to be on the lookout for them and act like their elder sibling and if anything should go wrong, I should not hesitate to tell the attendant in charge or the school management.""Good job, you did well like the good kid you are..." Megan commented with a wide smile on her face. "I love how active you are, that show you are the eldest among the four of you.""Wait, did you tell him all these before now? With the way he replied to you very accurately without stuttering, it seems as if he's learning those lines for days." Damon asked Megan but she shook her head sideways indicating a negative response. "Has he been learning these before now, Meg?""Of course, I did not, he just say them," Megan replied flatly. "He is such a smart kid.""He will make a very good older sibling to them then, I guess," Damon said, ruffling Mig
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
