Can today be any better? Of course not, right?
Megan thought to herself as she walked loosely on the street of New York with hot tears streaming down her face. This was the highest humiliation she had ever witnessed since her existence.
How could they do such to her? How could they be so cruel to cheat on the love and trust she had for them? She has always preserved a special place in her heart for both of them, Reina and Rhett. But today, they acted like she was worth nothing!
Just a piece of rag that should be tossed aside like garbage or waste bin that has no use whatever? Who knows? Maybe she was the main problem and can't keep men?
Her sight was getting blurry from the hot tears as she keep dragging herself with no place in mind. Her voice was croaked, she knows that. Her heart was heavy as her head banged violently.
She felt more than a hot blade slice through her heart. Does her brain find it too hard to contain all of it and her heart too? It gets way too heavy for it to fit in her chest.
She needs one thing for sure! To find somewhere to relieve her heavy heart. She knows she can't trust anyone at her stage of life, yes!
Wait! You think this is her first heartbreak, right? Of course, not!
Within a period of two years, she gets hurt at the end after entrusting her fragile heart to the four guys she thought she would end up with. Rhett is her fourth though!
What does trust produce at the end of her loyalty? Betrayal and heart breaks! The four guys she dated are nothing else but a cheat! Fucking male whore!
“Loyalty takes you nowhere, you get betrayed at the end of the day.” She muttered to herself, letting out a small but painful chuckle.

She stood near the counter as she wiped her running nose continuously with the back of her palm before turning her gaze to the barman.
"You haven't said what you want." The barman uttered as he offered her a piece of tissue. "This will help."
Megan took the tissue from him and wipe her nose dry before tossing it aside. "Thanks for the tissue." She muttered, trying her best not to sound broken.
"Not to mention. What did you want me to serve you?" The barman asked her again.
"What do you have?" Megan asked and he list most of them for her, she finally settled down for an alcoholic drink and he serves her afterward.
She made for a seat at the other end of the clubhouse, isolating herself from the clubhouse's activities. She was only here for a reason, to drink herself into a stupor and forget whatever issues that's bothering her for the main time.
Past half an hour into her drinking adventure, she was partially drunk as she keep lamenting and spitting cussed words.
"I hate those two cheats and wish they never exist, their existence alone is enough to make me puke. Fucking cheats..." She cussed as she tried to fill her cup again.
"So, who are these two you hate and get puked by their existence...?!" A strange figure hovered around her, his voice was husky and straight.
"Go away! You are no way better than them, all of you are just birds of the same feathers. A piece of fucking cheats." She did not bother to look up or acknowledge the stranger's presence as she howled those words at him.
"Hmm... I see..." The stranger hummed as he dragged the nearest chair, placing it at the front of her table. He made to sit.
"Don't sit. Just go away, very far away." She said scornfully as she points her index finger at him.
"Hey, stop judging without proof okay?" He sat down, adjusting his seat a bit closer to the table. "Not everyone behaves irrational like them."
"Really...?!" She rolled her eyes at him in scorn. "Why then do I keep getting the same fate from everyone?"
"Same fate from everyone?" The stranger asked, as he creased his browed in bewilderment. He wanted to hear more about her escapade with the people she keep cussing about. "That's not possible?"
"You say it is not possible right? I'm sure I'll say the same if I did not catch each of them red-handed." Megan uttered spitefully. "The first three aside. But what did you have to say to this? You get to see your fiancee buried deep in between your best friend's thigh and they both acted like nothing happened?"
The stranger was not shock or surprised at her outburst, he only let out a sigh.
"Since I've been in a relationship with any guy, I've always gotten my ass kicked brutally by each and every one of them. The four guys I've dated are nothing but a cheat, I regret ever meeting with them." She blurted out with so much hatred laced in her voice as she made to chug down a full cup of drink, almost choking at the attempt.
The stranger quickly took the cup from her to stop her from choking herself with the remains in the cup. "Easy. You might hurt yourself doing that." He cautioned but his husky voice wasn't hard on her.
She scoffs at his polite gesture but says nothing about it and continues with her narration instead. "Just a few hours ago, I caught my best friend and my fiance together. That bastard, after engaging me still had the gut to cheat on me with my friend?"
Anyone could have lied and faked being emotional but with one glance at her, one could tell she was sincerely hurt.
"This is really bad and awful thing to have happened to you." He muttered. "I guess we have the same plight but mine is different, not about cheating. But it's okay, I'm fine by..."
Megan cut him short, rudely. "Tell me!" She demanded. "Tell me about yours, you can see I just told you mine. Who knows? I might get some advice for you."
"Advice me to drink myself to stupor?" He snickered, earning a short scornful expression from Megan. "Fine, I'll tell you mine."
"Go on..."
"I always have the same fate with every of my relationship, I think I'm blessed in dating gold diggers who are always after my wealth. They always break up with me after extorting so much for me, relationship really sucks a lot." He ended his speech with a sigh.
Megan shook her head in pity. "We are on the same both of always having a bad relationship then?"
"I guess so, but with a different plight. Yours is the fourth failed relationship while mine is the third." He added, concurring with her statement.
"It doesn't matter anymore." She waved it off. "Why don't you drink your heart away, then? This might help you forget about your broken heart for a while."
The stranger had wanted to disagree with her but he couldn't resist her puppy face and soon, he found himself giving in to her request...
Megan opened her eyes as she felt her head banging so hard like it was threatening to roll off its proper position the next second. She pressed her lips into a thin line as she tried to sit up but her head wasn't giving her the chance to do so easily.She noticed she was naked and wondered why. She has never gone to bed with anything off for once, why now?"Hmm..." She heard a soft moan beside her. She was shocked cause...Wait! The room decor and the duvet was the first thing she noticed. This isn't her room, she turned her gaze abruptly to the source of the moan.With what she felt at that moment, shock is totally an understatement cause she felt more than that. Like she was being chased by a greater force, she hit the guy continuously on his arm.Damon stirred in his sleep, refusing to open his eyes. He had thought it was his brother hitting him and he decided it's best to ignore him.Megan on the other hand was furious as she hit him harder. "Hey, wake up and stop sleeping like
She sigh as she flagged down a taxi. She needs to go home first to clear her head, things are not going as planned for her.She got home and throw herself on the only couch in her room, breathing heavily. Pondering over the last two months, she keep wondering if her life was only meant to experience ill luck.After the nightstand with the stranger who claimed his name was Damon, she had vacated New York to avoid any necessary drama that might come knocking on her door.Two months away from New York, she recently find out she was pregnant and there are no two ways about it. The stranger is responsible for it but that is not the problem.The problem is her inability to trail him. Since almost a week after returning back to New York, she had been on the lookout for the stranger but all her effort proved abortive.She is tired of this clueless search which is taking her nowhere. Her bank is almost running dry, it can last her up to a month. She knew if she doesn't find a way out and a mea
"We are in need of someone who is capable of doing this for us, not just any person. Are you sure you are capable?" Hilary asked Megan for the umpteenth times. She wants no mistake whatsoever, all she wants was to be sure she's trusting the right person."Of course, ma'am. I'm more than capable for the surrogacy, trust me, ma'am." Megan answered, trying not to sound desperate. She picked her words gently and make sure she can convince them about her capability."Fine, we will be paying you part of the money during the surrogacy process and the remains after you conceive successfully. Is that okay by you?" Dwayne spoke for the second time since Megan was being interviewed. He decided not to say much and trust his wife on it, women know how to talk things out with their fellow gender."Here, go through this to know if you will accept whatever rules we lay down for you. It's your choice with whatever you choose, no one forced you." Hilary handed the documents over to Megan.Megan went t
Truly, one can go an extra mile just to get the printed papers since it's capable of making anyone do the unthinkable.The ride was long and Megan won't stop thinking about how her stay with the Zahans will be. Would she enjoy those long stays at their house and would it be enough to make a good and long-lasting memory?Or she will desperately wish she never left with the Zahans? This thought keep replaying in her mind but after a while, she decided to push the thoughts aside. For now, she needs to focus on the long ride that seems not to be ending any time soon.After what seemed like forever, the expensive drive was ushered into a mansion. They all hop down from it after it was parked properly.She was surprised, ‘But this was not the same house...’ The Zahans must sure be heavily loaded for them to bring her to another building.‘Holy Shepherd!’Megan stared at the huge building, she was totally mesmerized at how huge the house is. She tried her possible best in hiding her facial
Slowly and gradually, Megan's baby bump has started protruding, and it was bulging faster than expected. Each moment drawing her near to her due date, soon she will have to bring the new life into the world.Since she knows the truth behind the baby she was carrying, she couldn't just wait to meet the first fruit she will be producing in the main time.But then, she will be left heart broken at the end of the day. Officially and due to the contract, the baby won't be hers anymore, and after she births the child, she will be forced to part with them.“Are you ready, Megan.” Hilary called out in loud tone. “I've been waiting here for you for a while now, Megan.”“I'm almost done. I'm finding my sandals really hard to put on these past few days.” Megan replied in a quick voice as she descends the stairs rushing like she has been chased by greater force.“Be careful, Meg. You might trip with that your pace, be gentle with your walk steps.” Hilary cautioned softly. Since Megan's stay with
She was finding it difficult to stand on her own as she uses Hilary's neck for support, crossing her hand over it.The pain she was feeling was intense with her cloth dripping wet, which doesn't seem to be normal to her. Hilary, on the other hand, was confused on what to do next.‘Should I change her wet dress first or take her to the hospital like that?’ Hilary thought with in herself, doubts and confusion written all over her. She has not experienced something like this before, and she seems so naive about it, anyone would have noticed this.“Elite, get Megan a new dress and be fast about it…” Hilary hissed out, clearly frustrated from confusion. In the next few minutes, Elite was rushing down with a new dress for Megan as ordered.Megan doesn't look like she would stop her writhing and groaning any time soon due to the unbearable pain beneath her pelvic area, it hooked her so much, giving her no time to express herself.“Why does she need a new dress now, ma'am? We are supposed to
It's past six hours already, the day was getting darker and the sun, it's self, is already setting. Hilary won't stop pacing down the waiting room, thick tension hanged like a ticking bomb on the air.Hilary only saw the doctor entered the labor room with few nurses, giving her no room to question. Hilary understood the situation at hand, without being told, her instinct keep ringing to her that something is off.All she could hear was faint screaming and groaning from Megan, her voice was faint because it was coming from behind a closed door, that was Hilary's thinking.With the same pace, the doctor used in entering the labor room, the same way she rushed out after thirty minutes or more.“We need to talk, Mrs. Zahan. Where is your husband?” Ms. Arielle asked with emergency laced in her voice. “You both decision is what we need now.”Hilary followed the doctor closely like an obedient servant to the doctor's private office, this time she was finding it difficult to sit and was glad
It's been three days since Megan was discharged from the hospital, Hilary has always made sure she lacks nothing both in attention and care.Seeing that Megan is physically okay than she was before, she decides it time to resume her work. She knows the type of tight schedule she will be having, coupled off with her absence from work.It's a new week, Hilary was still dressing up for work. Dwayne decided to seize the opportunity to have a few talks with Megan. Using the contract to start a conversation isn't a very bad idea to him.“You should know how hectic and time-consuming our work is, Megan.” Dwayne muttered. This was the first time he would be speaking to her since months now.When he return back from his business trip few days ago and pay her a visit at the hospital, he did not even spare her a glance twice nor utter a single word to her. He only smiled and mumbled few words to the babies, nuzzling their nose too.Dwayne's thinking was he would not get the chance to meet Megan
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
