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?'
"Did you know how attractive and seductive you look right now?" His voice was flirty as his hot breath fan through Megan's face, staring intensively at her lips. Megan's lips quivered with the thought of Damon's expression, she tried thinking out of the box but it's not helping."Now, I can't seem to take my eyes off you." Damon drawled in a coy and seductive voice as he trapped her in his scrutiny, caging her down with his both hands. Megan realizes she can't escape from him easily no matter how hard she tries since he's just too strong for her to handle."Hey, let go off me." She whispered, her voice shaky and quivering.Damon did not seem to listen to her, turning deaf ears to her suppose pleading. Instead, he made to kiss her and she held her breath, bracing herself with her eyes tightly shut.Just when Damon's lips are about to touch hers, a loud piercing sound stopped him abruptly, interrupting the moment.Megan seems to have come back to her senses as it appears like she was in
Damon parked his car properly before turning off the car's engine. He turned to Megan, who was staring around and feasting her eyes on the surrounding."This place really looks like an ancient castle, I never knew such things still exist up to date," Megan said, marveling at its beauty."It used to be a royal home before now," Damon replied casually."That says it all." She uttered, facing Damon properly."You have not put on your mask?" Damon asked with a small sigh afterward."Oh, sorry!" She quickly apologize as she made to put the mask on."Let me help with that, little rose." Damon offered and took the mask from her before she get the chance to protest."I..." She paused, pressing her lips into a thin line. "Fine."Damon move closer, his body was only a few inch apart from hers and his face was close enough for his hot breath to fan her face. Megan felt her system pause for a while, unable for her to think straight and clearly as her heart skipped a bit.'Get a grip of yourself,
The image of Rhett walking towards her won't stop replaying in her head, she closed her eyes multiple times to get rid of the image but it's not working."Are you okay?" Damon asked with concern laced in his voice. "You look downcast and you won't stop acting weird too, did you want to go home?""Of course, not. I'm fine, it's nothing to worry about." She said, her voice barely escaping a whisper but loud enough to Damon's hearing. "Uh, I'm just trying to blend in. It's my first time attending something like this, you know.""Oh, right." Damon nodded slowly. "But, I don't think this matters at all. You can't be acting weird to blend in a certain environment, that's ridiculous.""I know, right?" She scoffs at Damon's words. "Everyone has their own way of doing things.""Yeah, I guess so. You do yours in a very weird way." Damon said.Megan made a very low sound instead, not giving a reply to Damon's sentence. A waitress served them some drink amidst their talk and Damon mumbled a 'than
"What...?" Damon asked with a shocked expression on his face, he could swear he was hearing things and those words aren't coming from Megan. "Did you say something?""Kiss me, Damon..." She repeated again, her eyes sparkling with seduction in it.This was enough to throw Damon's sanity and caution out through the window and like he was under a spell, grabbed her closer to himself with their lips in a collision.At first, it was quite slow but soon, it grew intense and wild without control as Damon run his tongue through her mouth after several lip bites. Megan clasped her hand over Damon's shoulders, deepening the kiss. Damon let go of her lips, trailing his tongue down to her jawline and running his hand through her back.Megan moaned, clinging herself to his body in a clinch. Damon trails his tongue from her jawline to her neck and upwards to her earlobe, biting softly on it.She let go of him as she try to unbutton his shirt but Damon snapped her hand away, holding her wrist in a
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
