“You see…?” Damon shrugged his shoulders. “I did not just eat, the children offered me since you already told them it's mine. Why will I reject such awesome from them?”“You…” Megan trailed off, unsure of what to say.Megan was really short of words as she stared at them in disbelief. These children have so much audacity, just like their dad! How could they just offer him the pancakes in her absence?She isn't sure of whom to direct her anger at, the kids or Damon? She can't just get angry at the children, they are only young and Damon on the other hand is not at fault too, he was treated as a guest by the kids.She let out a sigh as she wiped the crumbs hanging at the corner of Arielle's lips without saying anything with the paper napkin on the table.“Come on, kids. Get up now and let's get going. We will wait for uncle Damon outside until he is done with his pancakes.” Megan said as she gestures for them to get up.“Are you angry at us?” Miguel asked out of the blues on their way o
After Megan had unpacked their clothing into the wardrobe in the children's new room, she made them change the clothes they were putting on for their night wears.The children had given one of the books Megan loves reading to them at bed for him to read them to sleep. Damon has no other choice than to do as he was told to, though he has little or no knowledge of how to do it.The children did not find his style of reading impressive enough to make them fall asleep but the style he uses might successfully keep them very much awake for the rest of the night.“That's not how you read, uncle Damon. Mom doesn't read with the style you are using, how will we be able to fall asleep that way?" Arielle asked, sounding very disappointed in Damon. "Don't be surprised if we are awake till dawn."Yes, she has always seen Damon as her superhero with the thought of him being very perfect in everything, but now this...?Miguel had to take the book from Damon. "This is how you will read us to sleep un
“What did you mean by ‘they left with their dad?’” Megan queried as she stares at the kids' homeroom in a defiant look. “Their father is out of States for the main time, how did they come to pick them?” Dwayne and Hilary have been out of the country since two days now, hoping to be back in three months. How then did they come back and pick the children's without her knowing? On the other hand, this is quite impossible, though. They will at least hint her on their arrival. But what if the business trip was cancelled or postponed, and they want to use this as a surprised return? Eh, of course not! Dwayne would never buy this type of idea and strategy, talk more of doing stuffs like this. But then? Where are the kids? “The children confirmed him to be their dad, ma'am and insisted on going with him.” The home room teacher replied. “We know how risky it can be to give out the kids to strangers, and that man doesn't seem like a stranger to them.” “You could have waited on my arrival be
Megan's anger is still visible on her face with no intention of going any time soon. She keeps tapping the bus window softly and the same with her feet. She is gradually getting impatience and the bus seems like it's too slow. She wished she could just escape this ride and get home sooner than she expect. She keep fuming in anger and sighing continuously, her fingers still making little noise. After what seemed like forever, she finally alighted at her bus stop. Her steps was fast as she hurried down the road that leads to Damon's house. Just with the same speed, she rushed inside with it without slowing down a bit. "What's chasing you? Did you by chance come across a ghost on your way coming?" Damon asked with a creased brow as he almost collided with her at the doorpost. "That is if ghosts really exist." Megan hissed as she send a cold glare at him. "What did you perform earlier? Why did you hang the call when it's clear you aren't the one who called?" She asked, her arms folded
If only she wasn't stuck in traffic earlier, she could have beat him to it or, better still, meet him in the school already.At least, any of this two ways could have prevented her from vibrating and the threat she made. These are enough to stop her from causing fuss earlier.She could only hope she hasn't made a fool of herself before him yet, how could she have jump into conclusion without proof?It's all the blame isn't hers, since he is always this way, making a joke out of a serious situation. She must have thought he is at one with the way he replied to her.“You could have waited a little longer for my arrival. On that part, Damon, you were inconsiderate.” She said with a pout.“I was afraid you might make a huge fuss there, I only avoided your drama.” His reply was plain and flat. “Didn't their home room teacher told you their dad came to pick them?”“She did, but I did not believe.” Megan replied as she made to sit.“Yeah, never knew you have trust issues up to that level.” H
“What's funny…?” He asked in a flat tone with his face still clouded in confusion immediately she stopped laughing. It's apparent that he did not seem to understand why she is laughing so loud and hard, Or did he say something that sound funny to the ears? Of course not, he did not remember saying anything related to joke or sort. What then is she laughing at?“What's so funny to have made you laugh this hard?” He asked again since he did not get a reply from his previous question. “Did I say something that amusing, huh?”“Of course, you did. You don't know you utter amusing words, eh?” She asked in reply, trying her best to hold back her laughter.“I did…?” Damon's brows were knotted in confusion, what does she mean? “When…? Just now…?”“What you said recently before now sounds quite funny and amusing to the ears, for real.” She answered, keeping her laughter in check. “Sorry, I laughed. I just couldn't stop myself from laughing that hard…”“If I may ask, what's funny and amusing?” H
“Yes, mom. He said you will be coming soon, and we waited a while for you.” Jade added, concurring to Miguel's words. “Are you angry at him? Did he by any means offended you?” “We will talk to him, and he will apologize to you.” Nell concluded. “Yeah, Nell is right…” The rest of the kid chorused simultaneously, concurring to Nell's sentence. “I know uncle Damon is not that bad to rectify his mistake, if any.” Jade added without any mixed feeling. The looks on their faces show how confident they were in whatever steps they are going to take next. Megan was beyond perplexed as she stared at the kids. Who is teaching them all these words? Most times, the words they sprout out keeps her marveled, and it also render her speechless most times. “Why did you think we are not on good terms with each other, and how sure are you about it?” Megan asked the boys, hoping for an honest reply from them. “There should be a reason for you to say this, is it not?” “Isn't it obvious, mom?” Miguel sa
"Its getting late already, I need to prepare dinner for us." Megan said, zipping up Arielle's backpack. "Uncle Damon told me he get you some thing to eat for lunch, so..." Megan was still saying...Arielle interrupted her words. "Of course, he did. He made us chicken meatballs and pasta today, he promised to make beef goulash some other day." Arielle said with a wide smile on her face."Yes, that was his words and I'm sure he'll keep to it." Nell butted in. "We watched him cook with no one's help, I think we will be learning how to make one soon since its quite easy to make.""You are missing some thing, Nell and it's wrong." Jade uttered almost immediately."And what is it...?" Nell asked with his nose twitched. How is he missing some thing? "I don't think I'm missing any thing.""You forget to comment on how great it taste." Jade answered and turn his face towards Megan. "Seriously mom, the meal was delicious and it look mouth watering too with the type of aroma oozing off it.""I d
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
