Alex bursts into a wicked laughter, making Brittany wonder why the sudden change of emotion. She doubts Megan already knows about the incident but she is not one hundred percent sure if she knows. What if she already knows? She asks her self or what if Alex just wants to play a game with her making her seem silly. Alex breaks the silence, this time his voice sounding firmer than before when he had just found out that Brittany knew about the incident with his best friend Jackson and his lover“You always sound delusional, has anyone ever told you that you would like a maniac?”Brittany was taken aback by the sudden turn of events but she was not going to let Alex win. She smiles softky at him matching his now intimidating aura.Brittany stands from the table, making an attempt to survey the office looking round but there was not much to see anymore as she had already done that before Alex came to work this morning. She still made her way to the opposite side of the table anyways, final
Alex drove home, racing calmly along the winding ribbon of asphalt. He couldn't take his mind off what had happened between him and Brittany, it was either that or he lost Megan forever.The rhythmic hum of the engine and the thrum of tires against pavement did little to calm his racing thoughts. He gripped the steering wheel tighter, knuckles whitening, as if the act alone could anchor him in reality. He drove into the mansion and couldn't even hear when the security greeted him.“Welcome home babe”, Megan, who had been waiting up late for him, smiled. The smile that always gives him joy and peace.He had hoped she would be asleep once he returned. He had intentionally returned late to avoid her.“Why are you still up?” He questioned with an unshielding coldness.“I thought to wait for you”. Megan replied reluctantly wondering why Alex was suddenly void towards her.“Don't wait for me next time. I will be coming home late often because of work”. His voice held no warmth, no trace of
Chapter 9Earlier on when Hailey and Bailey came to visit Megan. They were just walking into the mansion when Alex moved out. Megan stopped as she saw them. She was very pleased to see her friends after such a long time so she decided to say hello to them and invite them inside. However, Alex simply hugged her and walked away, saying that he had somewhere to be urgently. "Hey, Megan!" Bailey said with a wide smile as she pulled her into a tight hug. "Hey, Bailey, Hailey, how have you guys been?" Megan asked, pleasantly surprised that they would come by to visit her. "We have been fine, Hailey decided that we should come and say hi to you," Bailey replied with a wide smile. But Hailey wasn't really focused on her friends. Her eyes were strained on the young man that had just stepped out of the mansion with Megan. "Is that your boyfriend?" She asked. Megan smiled and nodded, "Yes, that's Alex, my boyfriend, why are you asking?" She teased. But Hailey was so lost in thought. She ju
Megan was shocked that her friend would just be dizzy. She'd heard of her health complications but she's also heard that she was now in sound health. "Are you okay, Hailey?" Megan asked worriedly and hurried to her side. But Hailey didn't respond to any of them. She was still staring at thin air, her eyes distant. The voice in her head was as familiar as the man that Megan had just introduced as her boyfriend. She could recall him clearly and the memory of his voice haunted him. Like a bad thing hoping to happen. "I'm going to get her some water," Megan said and rushed into the kitchen. Bailey went closer to Hailey and asked her if she was really okay. "What's really happening? Are you okay? She asked. Hailey nodded and still remained silent. Shortly, Megan returned with the glass of water and handed it to Hailey. But Hailey knocked it off her hands, pushing her and pouring all of it on the floor. Megan stepped back as the water soaked her feet and she looked at Hailey with raise
Megan paced back and forth the length and breath of the room she shared with Alex. She had changed to her nightwear after taking her bathe, she hoped that Alex would return before she was done with her bathe but her hopes had been crushed when she came out to find out that Alex was not yet back from the office or wherever he went tomorrow his emergency meeting. It’s been three days he left the mansion and she has not heard anything from him. At first when she called his line, it rang but on the second day it went into voicemail, she sent series of text messages to Alex but none was replied, she even went far to call his office but the lady who picked up said Alex was not available and she should leave a message if it was important but she ended up ending the call in frustration. Her tummy rumbled as she kept on thinking about why Alex was not back yet. Megan sighed, her hands instinctively drifts to her stomach as if trying to ease the feeling of hunger she felt inside. She presse
Megan felt some sort of peace when she woke up the next morning, she hadn’t had a good night rest the past few days but now she felt like a heavy weight have been lifted of her shoulders.She had not yet realised that Alex was no longer on the bed with her, she thought maybe he had let go of her as they slept so she turned hoping to see Alex’s sleeping form on the bed but she was disappointed when she saw the other side of the bed empty. Megan reaches to Alex’s side of the bed, feeling the the cold sheet, another wave of disappointment and worry had struck her heart for the second time that morning as the sheet felt like Alex had been up a long time ago.Megan made her way to the bathroom hoping she would see him there but he wasn’t there so she just ended up doing her morning routine as thoughts crossed her mind of being downstairs already, probably helping out with breakfast to surprise her with breakfast in bed. He often did that when he wanted to make up for something.When she
Alex and Brittany immediately separated, with Alex trying to adjust his tie and Brittany stylishly walking over to the visitors chair.Brittany removes invincible greeze from her skirt as she made to take her sit. Megan stood there in shock as she could not understand why Brittany was in her boyfriend’s office, talk more why she was almost kissing him in his office that is if they were kissing before she walked in.Alex shares a look with Brittany hoping that Brittany would get the message to exit his office but Brittany was trying to prove stubborn.Megan was still standing there confused at what words to use or say as she didn’t know how to address the situation yet. Brittany feigned to be oblivious to the looks Alex was giving to her and then finally Megan speaks up “What us she doing here?”Her voice calm and collated as she didn’t want to loose her cool in front of Brittany, talk more of letting her see that she had an effect over her at this moment. “Babe…. see..”Brittany mad
Alex hands trembled vigorously as he twirls slowly on his chair,he thinks of the horrible way he has been acting up. He didn't like the fact that Megan angrily left.You might just say he was a monster who cheated on Megan.Cheat? How could he do that to someone he loves so fucking much. When Brittany had suggested sleeping with her so she could keep his secret, he brought a better suggestion. He had suddenly stopped Brittany from touching him further.“I have a better suggestion, Brittany”. He held down her hands taking some steps away from her. The truth was that he was highly irritated by her.“I can't have sex with you”. His voice cracked a little, he was actually trying to sound pitiful which was quite funny. Alex never shows emotions so it only felt weird to him.“Why! Brittany thundered. I am not forcing you to have sex with me. I have my ways to make you regret”. Brittany smirked walking to his front as he had turned his back to her.“It is not that I don't want to, Brittany.
Mr. Leonard’s footsteps echoed softly as he descended the stairs, his eyes were dull as he scanned the room. Alex, Megan, Enzo, and Loyd stood, all eyes on him. Jake clung to his mother's side, his small hand gripping hers tightly."Jake," Leonard said softly, stepping forward with a smile. “You look so much like your mother.” Megan swallowed, her lips pressed tightly together, but she didn’t respond. Her grip on Jake’s hand tightened as Leonard reached out to touch the boy’s face. Jake smiled a little but moved behind his mother to hide. He knew Grandpa hurt mum, so he was also angry.Leonard’s hand dropped slowly, hurt. “Maybe I deserve that,” he murmured, sighing as he pulled back. Enzo cleared his throat as dinner was served and they all moved to the table, sitting in silence as the sound of cutlery clinking on dishes became the only noise.After a long pause, Leonard cleared his throat and looked up at his children. “I know I wasn’t a good father.”Loyd scoffed, muttering under
Two years later.Things may have seemed like they will never go back to normal for Megan, it was from one trouble to another bigger one. However it says with trouble comes ease.Megan stood in front of the crystal like window as she admired the light blue sky. How she wishes she could just stand here forever. As it reminded her of her better and bad Days.“Mummy, we are going to be late, daddy is waiting”. Little Jake, who was not so little anymore, bugged his mother with his sharp and piercing tone.Yes, Megan and Alex got married last year and they have been happy together. You might wonder what happened to Evelyn and Brittany. Well Evelyn was dead obviously.However Brittany's life never remained the same. She got depressed and started taking drugs, Mr Leonard still considered her his daughter so he sent her to rehab.“Oh, baby, Megan's face lit up with a smile. How she loved this little boy. Mummy is done already, let's go”. She grabbed onto his hands and moved towards the living
Life can be unpredictable right. Evelyn was still dazed, it felt as though her legs couldn't move.“No,no that is not true, she sniffed hard. It's not true. He died, I was winning and all of you were my puppets, everything was going according to my grand plan”. She kept emphasising on her words while pointing at Leonard.“Shut up woman, he interjected. I was never dead even if you did everything possible to get me out of the way. I heard the things you said to me while I was unconscious”.Evelyn gasped for the upteenth time. “How is this possible?” However instead of feeling remorse for her evil activities, she felt nothing but anger. It brewed slowly inside of her that it made her burst.“It's all your fucking fault. Did you think after how you betrayed me I will just let you into my life again. I accepted you because of your wealth and what you had to offer to our daughter”.“And I killed your wife to make sure nothing gets in my way again but your stupid witch of a daughter just ha
Brittany was feeling feverish, a feeling that what she was doing wasn't good. However her urge to have Alex just to herself was even greater.“It's too bad we have to get separated in this way, Meg”. Evelyn whispered to Megan as she finally cocked her gun and pointed it at her.“Please, Megan begged weakly. I will go far away with my son and never return”. Jake was the only person she could think of at that moment. She needed to keep him away from harm.“It's too late darling, Evelyn sucked her lips showing false sympathy. You should have disappeared when you had the chance”. She said with a glint in her eyes.“Don't worry meg, Brittany is going to take care of him and Alex”. Evelyn pointed the gun at Megan, this time with the intent of pulling the trigger. She has said all that needed to be said. While Brittany watched with mixed feelings.Everything seemed to be in slow motion to Megan. The moment felt like an eternity. The air grew thick and heavy, pressing against her chest, maki
The fear in Megan's heart was sharp, her pulse quickening as Evelyn stood over her, gun in hand, her expression twisted with a mixture of anger and satisfaction.Brittany stood nearby, her posture tense, her face a mask of conflicting emotions. Megan could see the hesitation in her sister’s eyes, a flicker of uncertainty that was an opposite of the cold malice she had shown earlier. But there was no time to dwell on it. Not with Evelyn so close, her finger poised on the trigger.“Stay out of this, Brittany,” Evelyn snapped, her voice hard and cold. “You’re just as stupid as Sonia was, and that’s why she’s dead.”Evelyn’s words cut through the air like a knife, and Megan’s heart lurched. She looked at the woman closely, wondering if she'd just misheard. Did she just admit to knowing about her mother's death? “What do you know about my mother's death? Megan asked with a shaky voice. She watched as Evelyn struggled to maintain her composure, her hand shaking slightly as she pressed the
consciousness crept back into her mind. The pounding in her head was unbearable, a dull ache that intensified when she tried to open her eyes. “Damn," she hissed as the migraine hit her in full force. She felt like her head was splitting in half and she couldn't even help it. “Where am I?" She muttered as she turned. She blinked several times, trying to adjust to the dim light filtering through the room. It was then that the cold, hard reality hit her—she was tied tightly to a chair, her wrists and ankles bound with rough rope that dug into her skin.Panic surged through her, and she instinctively began to struggle against her restraints. The chair creaked under the force of her movements, but the ropes held firm. “Who is here! Help me!" She called out, wiggling. Panicked, she glanced around her, the memories of what had just happened assailed her. Someone had grabbed her from behind and she'd passed out with the pungent smell forced in her face. She'd been drugged and now she was
Megan shivered, she had a bad feeling that her sister, Brittany had done something crazy. Why else was she calling just when she couldn't find her son and then she was laughing like a psychopath. “Brittany?" She called out over the phone, standing in the living room and shivering in her shoes. “I guess you're home by now, because I know that you wouldn't have answered my call otherwise," she said with a casual tone. “Why are you calling?" Megan asked carefully. She had a bad feeling in her guts that Brittany's call wasn't just a coincidence. “You know why I'm calling, Megan, don't play dumb with me," Brittany replied with a stiff tone. Megan sighed, taking deep breaths to steady herself. She was already trembling and she couldn't find her voice. "Brittany, what is this about?” She asked, already losing her patience. The anxiety was killing her and clearly Brittany was trying to mess with her head. How on earth did she know that she'd just gotten home? And what did that have to do
Brittany stood in the doorway, a forced smile plastered on her face as she gazed at her nephew, Jake. She had a sly smile on her face. How lucky she was, as if everything in nature was just sending her a sign. Her mother's plan would work out smoothly. “Hey little boy," she said with a sugary tone. But Jake just looked up from his painting and gazed at her blankly without saying a word, his eyes almost bored. “Come on, won't you say hello to your aunty?" Brittany tried again with an even more sweet voice but inwardly she was rolling her eyes. “No," Jake gave a single monotonous reply and didn't bother explaining himself, he just picked up his crayons and continued stroking each color across his white paper. Brittany sneered as he turned his face away, he was indeed a miniature version of his mother, Megan, with the same piercing blue eyes and mischievous grin. It was almost like he was staring at Megan's younger self right there on the couch. "Oh, Jake, I'm sure you don't really
Brittany paced back and forth in the fancy little cafe. She couldn't help the anxiety and anger that she felt. The thought of them made her nauseous. “She is in there with him as we speak!" She said and drummed her fingers on the table again. Evelyn had a very calm look on her face. But then that was typical. She wasn't easily ruffled, she always had a plan for everything and that was exactly why her daughter trusted her to find a solution. “Calm down, Brittany, anger never solved anything, what you need to do is plan," she advised. Brittany was exasperated, she hissed, “Calm? How can I possibly be calm right now?" She asked, spreading her arms. “She is with my husband and he won't even allow me see him, he told me to stay out of his way." Smiling, Evelyn waved it all off like it didn't matter. “Come on, Alex is just licking his wounds. You should allow him to do that.” She replied. "I don't know how long that will last for and frankly I don't wish to find out. All I know is that
