The very first night which lead to her guilt was due to their drunkenness and clearly, it was a mistake they never plan to make because she bluntly offered him drink. No trust then, they were clearly strangers who shared each other's pain.And then…? Nothing, yeah, nothing more.Thereafter, she would say fate brought them together again. They had each other's trust, and what they share as a relationship was much more than that of a stranger.Is the second night also a mistake…?It's like the table being turned, but this time he offered her drink without getting drunk. What really happened that same night after the masquerade ball? Since she was drunk, she has no idea. Only Damon does.She told him in their argument on how she blindly trusted him. Did she trust him enough to hear him out? Of course, she did not. She only assumed without hearing his side of story, and she trusted him?Is that how trust work?Megan realized she is the one at fault. The one who pretended to trust him but
Adjusting her skimpy dress, she stared at them from afar with an unpredictable expression, and her lips were coiled up into a terrible smirk.“Nice catch, baby girlie. You aren't a bad bitch yourself, or are you?” She chuckled darkly as she runs her emerald green eyes through Megan's dress, nodding satisfyingly. “No, you aren't. Too bad on your nice try, Damon is mine!”She filled her cup in to its brim, her eyes, which seems to hold untold and unraveled emotion, find it hard to stay still as she chugged down many cups of the alcoholic drink on her table.“How can I ever forget how it feels, eh?” She muttered to herself, her lips breaking off into a smug grin. “Of course, I can't. I'm a fool if I forget and let go, I'm a big timed fool.”She watched Damon stuffing Megan in, smiling genuinely at her and wiping off the remains that hanged around her lips.“Ish! I'm supposed to feel hurt, right?” The strange lady asked no one in particular. “But why isn't that jealousy there, why?”She q
Miguel sigh as he watch her scribbled things on the cardboard. "I'm sure he is going to love it." She murmured under her breath, referring her opinions to no one but audible enough to Miguel's hearing. "Of course, I'll love it since it's coming from you," Miguel replied almost immediately with a full and wide smile. "Who rejects things from their siblings these days?""Arielle, are you planning on gifting Miguel your drawing without considering giving us one too?" Nell muttered in a complaint with a deep frown on his face. "That'd show how much you prefer Miguel to us, it's really unfair. You can't do that to us, you know. "Yeah, it's true Arielle. We are your siblings too." Jade chipped in addition to Nell's. "You should always give and share things amongst us equally, not to Miguel only.""Just because she wants to gift me her drawing, is that why you are both jealous? Eh?" Miguel asked earning a scoff from the trio. "Ah! That's really lame.""Lame, huh?" Jade hissed. "You called
Damon had stayed until almost dusk at work since Megan told him to take his time on work rather than being in a haste to return home early like he's been doing for the last couples of days. And she won't be coming with him because she felt like staying behind. Damon had refused to adhere to her suggestion, coming up with an excuse. “I need to round up early at work to pick the kids up from school. It's now my new routine, and you know that.” He told her, but instead, she shook her head negatively at home. “Is that not enough reason for bunking off from work?” “It's not school, Damon. Why would you bunk off?” She said with a scoff. “And yes, it's not enough reason to run off work. You've been doing this for days, but not anymore, close the day at its proper time. Not that you resume work at it appropriate time.” “I can always…" Megan interrupted him abruptly. “Damon…" She called out, glaring hard at him. “I'll pick them up from school myself, since I'll be alone at home today.” Tha
Damon knew it from the moment she talked to him while she was catching her breath that something seems very familiar about her, but he brushed the thoughts off, thinking he was just hearing. ‘That's what you get for a very long day at work.’ He told himself. Now, it turns out to be the truth. The lady wondered why Damon did not say a word, and she stared at him to see if he is unwell, but... “Holy shepherd…!” The lady exclaimed as she screamed almost very loudly, jolting backward with her left palm on her chest and her eyes widened in disbelief. The shock on Damon's face was much more than the one he had one at first. “This seems too hard to believe…" 'Like seriously? It's really her. No doubt.' He was way too sure it was really his thinking at first. “Okay, who am I seeing?” The lady managed to muttered her question, still staring in disbelief. “Zahan Damon…?” “Tatiana…?” Damon was almost growling, refusing to believe his eyes. The effrontery of her to chase after his car. Ha
“Yeah. I misplaced my phone, I can't explain how I did that.'' She said, breathing out heavily. “ I guess today is my unlucky day, but I'm glad it's unlucky else I won't come in contact with you. How I wish I've been having unlucky days before now, then I would have gotten to meet you before now.'''Did I heard her well…?' Damon thought with in himself, snickering out loud enough to her hearing. “What's funny, eh?” She asked him, slightly pissed off by his sudden laughter. She is well assured of the reasons behind his stifled laughter. In her statement, he finds her words funny.“Did I need any one permission to laugh?” He asked, sarcasm laced in his voice. “I thought we all have the right to speech and laughter isn't excluded.”“You have your own way of turning the tables around.” She muttered with a scoff afterward. “Why asked me a question when you are aware of this already?” He said with a low huff.Tatiana did not bother to reply his question and like it was few minutes ago, th
Tatiana decided to use her last card to play a dirty game instead, she refused to give up on Damon easily. Not when she's determined on him already. Who cares if Damon is married to this lady before her and, maybe, they are happy couples living unitedly with their kids? But then, how could Damon do such to her? Since all her existence and the day she knew Damon, she has always thought he's one kind of innocent and soft guy, and that he is. How come did he end up getting married and having kids as grown as these? Even they are still dating but only parted ways for just a few years? No. They never parted ways! Damon only left abruptly for no reason, without leaving any notes or words whatsoever behind. The innocent and soft guy turns out to be a dangerous one. He's actually sneaky, hiding his sneaky acts behind that calm and harmless face of his. But Tatiana Sebastien never the type that give up on her chase. Not now, not ever. And she is never gon' start now that's she nearest
And Tatiana, couldn't fathom the real joy she felt at the moment. She never imagined it to be this easy, she had thought she had herself in a very tight corner, and it will very hard to fit in and cause a drift between these two, but then again, she was very wrong.The quivering of Megan's voice and how broken it sounded, no matter how hard she tried to hide it. The burning and tingling emotion of hers and everything associated, Tatiana knows of them since she could feel them too from her. Tatiana was able to easily read Megan's mind through her eyes, and she' easily saw how broken she is. Tatiana couldn't hope for anything else apart from what just transpired between Damon and Megan. She loved it as Megan did not trust Damon enough and that, she will use as her key weapon.She would use the fact that Megan's trust in Damon is not that solid, and she will use it against the two couples (so, Tatiana thought they were). Damon, on the other hand, wondered what he must have said wrong
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
