It was nightfall already, and they had set faster than usual. The kids watched as Megan spread the huge blanket down for them to lay on. They were on the rooftop, wanting to pass their early night there.

“Here, I'm done…” Megan said, and the kids hurriedly lay down, almost colliding in to each other.

“Be careful, kids. Else you might get yourselves injured, no one is taking the blanket away. Okay?” Megan cautioned, and they nodded, sitting down gently on the blanket. “Good…”

“Where is uncle Damon? Why is he not here.” Arielle muttered with a slight frown on her face, asking no one in particular. “He is supposed to be here already, argh!”

“I'm here now…” Damon's silhouette was seen with his both hands in his pant pocket. “Sorry I kept you waiting. I was…” Damon was still saying…

Arielle interjected his words. “It doesn't matter whatever you were doing, what matters a lot is you are here.” She said as she replaced the frown on her face with a smile. “And besides, we've not been wai

    It's a new dawn already, the kids were already in the dining room. The aura that surrounded them was really friendly and inviting, with positive energy oozing around them.Their facial expressions were positive, and they were putting on wide smile on their face, including Miguel, who barely put on a smile.“Mom…?” Arielle yelled out. “The time is going already, we are running out of time.”“A little more minutes, I'm almost done. Okay?” Megan's voice was louder, and it was coming from the kitchen. “Just wait a bit longer, stop being in a rush.”“Argh! Mom…!” Arielle muttered with only a sigh, waiting for Megan in defeat.“Be calm, Arielle. The day is not running, so is uncle Damon too.” Miguel said. “Besides, uncle Damon is yet to be back.”“What if he comes back and see we are yet to be ready?” Arielle questioned. “Aren't we suppose to get ready before he returns?”“Don't worry about that, he definitely won't get angry with us. Take a chill, okay?” Miguel uttered.Arielle could only

    They got to the cinema just quite on time, the movie is about to start already. Since Damon booked seats before their arrival, they walked in and took the spared front-row seats. Megan had excused herself to get some popcorn for the kids to pass time out with.“Argh! I so much hate sitting on the front rows.” Damon muttered slowly as he lazily rest his head and back on the seat support. “But I don't have a choice since you guys would barely see anything from the back.”“Why do you hate front seats, uncle Damon? It's the best place to sit and get a proper and clear view that won't get obstructed.” Arielle asked, eager to hear his answer. He should have an excellent reason for not liking to sit on the front rows, right?Damon, heaves a soft sigh. “What do I say? Sitting at the front makes me feel like other people's attention is on me and I hate it getting people's attention.” Damon replied lazily. “Especially unnecessary attentions.”Of course, there is another reason for hating to sta

    “Where do we go from here…?” Megan asked almost immediately after Damon had roared the car's engine to life. “Are we going home?”“Not at all, I've got somewhere else on my mind.” Damon replied flatly. “I have only fulfil three of four wishes, there is still one left.”“Oh, I thought we are going home from here.” Megan mouthed with a slight nod.“Do you want us to go home from here?” He asked, and his voice was low and husky as he asked her the question. “We can just go home for your sake, there is always another day.”“Why do I sense that he is trying to flirt with me?” Megan asked with in herself, not sparing Damon a glance. “Cut the trap, Meg, and stop imagining things. He can't be possibly flirting with you, at least not now and not here in the car.”“No, never mind…” Megan said casually, her voice was barely escaping a whisper. “I was only asking, I never asked you to drive us home.”“I thought you might be tired and want to go. But it's fine…” Damon answered with a slight should

    “We are to meet them here, but why are they not here?” Damon asked as he gazes around the park, searching for any sign of Megan and the three boys, but they weren't in sight. “Maybe we will have to wait for them a little longer, then.”“Yeah, I guess so, since we can't leave without them.” Arielle muttered. She spotted a long bench not far from them. “Let us sit and wait there until their arrival.”“Yeah, that is a nice idea…” Damon said.They waited for what seems like ages to them, but it's not more than ten minutes before Megan and the trio appeared.“Sorry, we keep you waiting. Never knew you would be back this early.” Megan rendered a quick apology, seeing the bored look on Arielle and Damon's face.“Where did you guys wandered off to? We've been standing here since forever.” Damon inquired calmly. “Look, Arielle is tired of waiting already.”“The boys want an ice cream treat, so…” Megan replied and turn to Arielle. “I apologize for keeping here since, sweetie.”“It's nothing, r

    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

    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
