“What I mean is, he is your son.” Theresa told him bluntly. Megan and Damon almost choke on their breath. It is not true, right? “You got to be kidding me…" Damon enounced with a stifled laughter. What is she trying to insinuate? Damon probably thought he must have heard her wrong the first time, but he was sure his ears weren't playing tricks on him. And Megan, on the other hand, felt her heart seized at the sudden confession of Theresa, making her entire world stop for a few seconds. She closes her eyes as she held her breath. 'Can I ever get enough of these supposed dramas that won't stop coming in lately?' She questioned with in herself. 'Can l, eh?' To her, it was starting to get too much and maybe out of hand. No, not maybe... It's really getting out of hand for her to bear with.Megan was very much sure she can't keep up with Damon's exes showing up unannounced and slowly turning into a thorn in the flesh. This is one of the horrible expectations for anyone.First it was T
“You don't reside around the States, do you?” Arielle asked Jason, who shook his head negatively in response to her question. “Where do you reside, then?”“Well, I can say I stay in States, but on the outskirt of the state. Mom and I just relocated here a few months ago. Maybe four or five, that's if I'm correct.” He replied in a faint voice. “You must love changing environment, I guess.” Miguel said. He was probably referring to how Jason and his mother had come unannounced. He needs no one to tell him they will be residing here since they claimed uncle Damon to be his Dad. That's most likely why they came out of the blues, he is sure of it. Jason creased his brow, unable to fathom what Miguel was trying to insinuate. “We've only changed environment once, so I don't get what you are trying to say.” Jason replied, staring keenly at Miguel. “Uh… Never mind.” Miguel wave it off, it's of no use explaining words to him. He should not be telling him that, not at all. “If you say so.”
“I was thinking if he would love the idea of staying here with us, you know. I don't know of his thoughts though, but I felt I can't possibly keep him out, can I?” Damon sounded out, referring to Jason. “Yeah, true though.” That was the quadruplets' chorused reply, fielding Damon's question. “So what's your say, Jason?” Damon requested calmly. Such question need no twice thinking since it already answered itself, can he ever say no? Of course, he won't be so daft too. “You must, definitely, have something to say.” “Of course, I do. I don't mind staying here, if it really goes well with every one else. I say; I'm staying.” Jason replied with a wide and proud smile.He was partially taken aback because he never thought it would be easier to stay behind talk least of turning the mansion in as his new home, but it definitely is like he's expected beforehand.Jason could not tell on how happy and fulfilled he felt at that moment, literally he seems to be the happiest, if not.“So since
Damon was really concerned, it was already dusk and few minutes past dinner and Megan has not uttered any word or say something to him since Theresa's arrival. He seems to be confused and helpless at the same time. Trying to start a conversation with her is clearly out of the line, since she makes sure she stays away from anywhere near or around him. This hurts Damon the most, nothing has ever hurt him, not even anyone since his existence. But with Megan, everything about him seems to have changed, slowly at first, but now complete, without her trying much. Theresa, on the other hand, acted like none of the household's member was really her business and that was the truth.She did not worry very much about Jason because she felt he will be okay without her, coupled with the fact that he find no difficulties being accepted, and he speedily got himself associated with the Zahan is just enough for her.Well, Theresa bonus plan aside, imposing Jason on Damon as his son was entirely dif
“I can't wait to introduce you to my homeroom mates as my brother, Jason.” Arielle, who could not stop squealing and being chatty, uttered with so much enthusiasm laced in her voice. “How do I sound? may be loudmouthed and disturbing, right. Yeah, I know.” “Of course not, you don't sound loud.” Jason countered. “To me, you are only expressing how zestful you are, I think.” “No, she is a little bit loudmouthed and noise making too.” Miguel chipped in almost immediately. “If only she could keep her voice low.” “You barely say something nice and soothing when it comes to me.” Arielle muttered with a loud huff. “Alright, end of discussion.” Miguel enunciated with a wave of hand. “We can talk about something more better then, I think this conversation is starting to get boring already.” “You can as well complete whatever conversation you have on mind when you get to the class, I think.” Jade implied, drawling. “Since you are yet to realize yet.” It was then the rest realized they wer
Megan drove slowly. She appears very much okay, but her mind seems to have wandered far away. She was almost unconscious of her surrounding.Her initial thought was to go home first, but she changed her mind and decided to pay Damon a surprised visit.Even when her mind is already made up to give Damon few spaces, she realized passing the day with him is very much better than being under the same roof with Theresa. To Megan, Theresa is definitely the least person she would ever stay with, even in a separate room.“Ms. Megan…" Anastasia called with a warm smile. Megan collided into Anastasia when she's almost near Damon's office and Anastasia seems to be in a haste.Megan returned the smile as she suddenly remembered where she had first met with Anastasia. “Hey there, Ms…" She hailed, noticing how in a haste she was. “I guess you are hurrying down to somewhere, isn't it?”“Yeah…" That was Anastasia's short and quick reply, and the smile on her face looks like it won't be fading away an
Damon desperately wished Megan could hear him out and trust him like she always does but it seems the trust has been broken yet again and this time, it's completely broken far beyond being reinstated."You can never tell lies to me, yeah?" She huffed with a twitched nose, rolling her eyeballs at him. "But you find it easier to make me feel weak and vulnerable? Sometimes, making me feel lowly.""Why would I ever do such a...?" Damon asked, mouthing out his words slowly but was suddenly cut short."Enough, Damon. Enough of your lies and excuses already, I'm totally sick and tired of them already. They make my stomach churn so badly." She was almost yelling as she blurted out the words to his hearing.Her voice was really breaking and hurt too, anyone won't be daft not to have noticed it. Absolutely no one because at that moment, she did not bother to conceal or hide it."You know what, Damon?" She asked in a straight tone and he stared at her questioningly in reply, shaking his head slo
Earlier that same day, late afternoon precisely, Damon had received a call at the kid's schools. No one had come to pick up the kids after the school had dismissed and it was almost two hours after the school dismissal with only the kids remaining in school.Damon immediately got worried at the news as he quickly picked up his car keys and rushed out, he had thought Megan had gone to pick them up at school.He was more than surprised when he saw Megan's car in the parking lot. He shook his head to be sure he was not seeing things but he was certain it was definitely her car.‘She must have come with a car but left without her car..’ Damon thought to himself. ‘If so, where has she gone to that she forgot about picking the kids up from school?’Damon's thought seems to be thrown out of the kilter, making it difficult for him to think further and straight as his mind is jumbled.But firstly, he needed to pick the kids up from school first, though they are under tight security but he can'
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
