Megan stood frozen, her heart pounding like a drum in her chest. A cold sweat broke out on her forehead as she locked eyes with the two callous people. Instinctively, she took a step back, her foot scraping against the smooth floor.The most painful part was that Hailey decided to join Brittany. What could she have done to her?Brittany already had the syringe in her hand. She held it while walking menacingly close towards Megan. That substance was polonium 210. A radioactive substance that causes severe radiation poisoning that leads to a slow, painful death. “What are.. you…doing”. Megan stammers in distress. Could it be true that Alex wants to get rid of her. How could she always be the one to lose in every situation if she was not meant to find her happy ending. She thought with tears rolling uncontrollably from her eyes.“Getting rid of you”. Brittany simply said with no emotions. However, she cocked her head to the side as if a thought had suddenly entered her head.“I've alway
We agreed on the 15th of this month. Alex replied rigidly. But the excitement in his eyes didn't go past Megan's gaze.“Oh my God! That is literally in six days”. The interviewer exclaimed, her voice rising with each word. The words tumbled out in a rush, almost tripping over themselves in their eagerness to be heard. Megan held onto the remote like her life depended on it. She could feel nothing but agony in her blood. “Why Alex! She whispered. Why did you decide to come into my life to deceive me?” She screamed out the words as she shut her eyes.Her phone rang up and it was Bailey but she didn't have the strength to pick up. A few seconds later another call came from her brother Enzo but she still didn't pick up. They probably found out about Alex and Brittany.She fell to the ground as her shoulders shook vigorously. Her father was unconscious in the hospital, her brother’s had their own lives to live. It was unfair to bother them.“How could I be so foolish?” She opened her hear
Happiness is Short Lived. Most of the time it often disappears before it even starts. It has been three days since the news about Alex and Brittany’s wedding wasannounced. This means there were three days before the wedding.Megan zipped up her clothes as she had decided to pay Alex a visit. She wanted to see with her own eyes that Alex had really left her for good.“This isn't a good idea meg. Just let me blow his fucking brains off”. Lyod spat in a bitter tone. He has begged Megan to take care of Alex but she refuses.“No Loyd. I want to be the one to take care of my own matters, do you understand”. Her voice was slightly tense. You could see the pain in her small oval face. “But”…. He tried to interject.“No buts, this was the same thing you did that made dad end up unconscious in the hospital”. She whispered without thinking.Loyd's expression immediately changed, he knew it was his fault that their dad was in the hospital but it wasn't intentional.Megan seems to have realised
“Stop acting like a spoiled brat Megan. Have you lost your manners?” Alex didn't mean any of these words but Brittany's strong grip on his hands showed that she wanted him to behave harshly towards Megan.“Don't you fucking talk to my sister like that you fucking asshole”. Loyd could no longer hold himself. He wanted to punch Alex in the face but Megan held him back.“So it's true. Megan whispered with a teary gaze. It's true that you are nothing but a monster”. Her voice cracked. The frustration and fear were boiling over, each word laced with a desperate need. A need for Alex to assure her that he didn't mean the things he said.“What do you think?” Alex drawled, his voice dripping with condescension. He knew his words would sting, and that was precisely his intent. To drive her away from him not for any other sake but to protect her.Megan's starts to laugh. Her laughter rang through the room, high-pitched and uncontrollable. Tears streamed down her cheeks as she doubled over, clut
Everything has been fine for Evelyn,in fact she felt on top of the world. Everything is happening just as she wanted.She heard Almighty Megan has been admitted to the hospital. Wasn't she so confident some weeks ago? She scoffed as she twirled the cup of expensive wine in her hands.“Ma'am”, the maid in front of her began, her voice steady and respectful, “I have brought forth the finest pieces from the treasury for your consideration. The gold, with its regal warmth, speaks of power and wealth. The silver, with its cool elegance, whispers of grace and purity. Which among these treasures pleases your discerning eye today?”Evelyn smiled. This was what she loves about power and wealth. And with Alex everything seemed even more. Alex had instructed that the best of jewelries be delivered to her.She reaches out to gently lift a gold bracelet, turning it in the light to admire the craftsmanship. Then, she picks up a silver necklace, running a thumb over the smooth, cool metal. After a t
“You see Brittany. I never give up until I get what I want. If one way doesn't work out you try another”. “Let me tell you a little story”. Evelyn whispered, she held Brittany's hands leading her to a seat.“I and Sonia used to be best of friends”. “Who is Sonia? Brittany questioned with furrowed eyebrows. Sonia used to be the lady of this house. She is the children's mother”.“Oh”! Brittany exclaimed she now understood what she was saying. She used to hear stories of Sonia especially from the little time she spent with her father Leonard. This behaviour of her father will sometimes make her wonder if her father never loved Sonia as Evelyn claimed.“We did everything together and never kept anything from each other. She came from a reputable family while on the other hand I was the daughter of a useless gambler who gambled my life away. I ran away from home and lived as an orphan from that day on”.“But what I am trying to highlight is that I met Leonard first, we fell in love”. She
“I came here to get the rest of Megan's clothes and some other things. Only for me to overhear your words about you being responsible for my mother's death”. Lyod's knees wobbled at the intensity of the betrayal.“You did not only kill my mother, you also want to kill my sister. I won't let you, I swear , even if it means me doing the most despicable thing then I would”. He yelled his voice signalling his agony.“Do not talk to my mother like that”. Brittany defended her mother's action.“I do not remember speaking to you”. He retorted.“And what are you going to do now that you have found out?” Evelyn's heart had skipped for a second when she saw Lyod staring at them in exasperation.Lyod was still heaving in anger. He just couldn't take in what he had Heard, Evelyn was a complete monster.“You wouldn't want to know”.“No, I want to. Evelyn insisted. I actually want to see what you can do. Your potential. Especially now that everything about this family is under my command”.“The com
Evelyn had this unbelievable expression on her face. “What do you mean that Leonard is nowhere to be found”. She exclaimed.“What”! Brittany was equally surprised. If her father wasn't in the hospital then where could he be? He was unconscious so therefore he couldn't leave by himself.“I left him under your care and you tell me you can't find him. I am going to sue you and the entire hospital. Mark my words”. She yelled, her veins popping at the side of her neck. Leonard shouldn't go missing now. She still had use for him. She thought to herself.“Shit”. She hung up with frustration. Just when she looked forward, she couldn't find Loyd anymore. It seems as if he had disappeared into thin air.“Where did he go?” Evelyn placed her hands in her hair in frustration.“I don't know. He was here just a few minutes ago”.“Oh my world”. Evelyn exclaimed before running towards the front door. She probably wanted to run after Loyd or maybe she wanted to go confirm Leonard was actually missing.
