Chapter 162As Megan made her way home, her head thought of many things. From Enzo and Stephanie to Loyd and then finally herself. She was so exhausted that she couldn't even drive. She had to take a taxi home. Finally she got home.She was expecting little Jake to be at home as the nanny called that she was bringing him back home from the baby's sitter's house earlier.As soon as she opened the door she heard her little boy's voice and it made her heart flutter. “Oh my sweet boy”, her heart was occupied with her son as he ran to hug her. She didn't even see the man in black that was beside her son not until her son said….“Mummy, I miss you so much," Jake echoed with a toothy grin. I was so bored mummy”. He pouted his little pink lips and squinted his eyes.“I am so sorry baby, I had something to do but I am here now”.“However mummy that nice man brought me from school and kept me company”. Jake explained while pointing at the man that magically turned out to be Alex.Meanwhile Mega
Megan's face formed a frown as she was stopped by Alex.“I urge you to take this agreement seriously”. He warned intently as he knew that Megan could be so stubborn. She is the one of the most stubborn people he knew. He wouldn't be surprised if she had one or two things under her sleeves.“That shouldn't be your problem now Alex”. Megan smirked at him, giving him a sarcastic smile.She then turned around to leave but got interrupted again.“I am not done meg”. Alex could feel his anger rising slightly as he looked at the woman that wanted to end his life.“What else do you have to say president”. She rolled her eyes and referred to him according to his rank in the company.“I take it that you are a bit curious about Damien. Why haven't you been seeing him right?”. His lips twirl into a sinister grin as he speaks. His hands clenched hard as he remembered how Damien almost kissed his woman.“What did you do to him?” Those were the next words that came out of her lips. She knew Alex like
“You heard me right”. Alex said his words with rigidity so as to show emphasis on his intentions.“You are so fucking selfish Alex. Five years. Brittany scoffed with a deep breath. I sacrificed five years of my life to you yet you can't even make me happy”.“Shut the fuck up. Alex interrupted with a glare. I never asked for your sacrifice. You forced me into this so why are you not happy with reaping what you have sowed”.“Megan will be relocating to my family house. What I had wanted to say is that she is now my mistress”.“Mistress!. Brittany smirked before she started to laugh like a maniac. What year are we in? Is this the 90’s where men have mistresses and concubines”.“You are so funny Alex. For a moment I thought you had something important to say”. Brittany tried to stop herself from laughing further.Alex remained expressionless as Brittany displayed. He knew exactly what he was doing even if Megan and Brittany weren't aware and were somewhat confused.Brittany has seen that t
"Receded?". Enzo repeated the words with furrowed eyebrows. His voice was uncertain as his eyes flicked from the doctor's face to the chart she held, searching for clarity."Yes sir. Your dad cannot remember his current memories except the past ones and this is because he held it with so much strength. Do you think has memories very dear to him?".The doctor had to ask as he was curious.Enzo didn't feel the need to answer such questions. So he simply waved his hands at him to stop him from saying anything further."Keep taking care of him, Enzo said before squinting his eyes dangerously. And remember you signed a contract of confidentiality. One word outside about my father's health or that he has woken will earn your family a burial to plan". He said emotionlessly."Yes.. yes sir". The doctor stammered, what kind of man is this he thought. But his hands could not help but tremble in his presence."Good". Enzo simply said before walking away. As he walked out he picked up his phone to
"What are you doing here Hun"! Those words pierced Brittany like needles. "Can't I have fun with my husband anymore". She got closer, kissing him quickly. Alex was surprised by the stolen kiss and his expression showed that he wasn't happy about it."I need to leave". Alex stood up without paying attention to the little giggles that were coming from the girls.Brittany was embarrassed but at the same she had to quickly cover up."Oh sorry guys, I am so sorry but my husband has to leave and I will be going with him". Brittany echoed with a proud smile as she held Alex by the arm."I am just going to have some more drinks before I go home". Enzo added, he wanted his peace and quiet."We'd like to keep you company if you don't mind". Brittany friends said."I like my privacy". Enzo didn't mind how rude he sounded but he didn't have time for some horny bitches."Oh! They were rather embarrassed but they understood when to stop. So they stood up. In that case we will just be around the clu
Ma’am. The investors are pulling out as rumours have it that sir Enzo is a Mafia lord. They believe he has an influence on the business. They are not ready to lose money to any illegal or shady things. And because of this the stock is falling and we seem to be losing money. The manager stood in front of Evelyn as he explained the current problem of the company.What are you saying? She replied, dragging her last words to show her emphasis.The news of Enzo's belongings to the Mafia isn't going to do us any good and the crazy thing is that it keeps spreading like wildfire.What do you suggest we do now to solve this issue? Evelyn questioned with desperation in her eyes as she stared at him.I.. don't know ma'am. He stammered cutting eye contact with her. This isn't even the problem ma'am. But it seems the board members have set a meeting to talk about this issue.What! Evelyn stood up banging her hands on the table. Are you stupid or daft? Isn't that what you are supposed to talk about
The weather was stormy and the breeze blew harshly. Everyone was in black as they mourned their most beloved. Megan couldn't help but kneel as she cried. Her knees were weak to carry the burdens of this life.Dad! Wake up. It's not true that you are dead please.Loyd on the other hand felt nothing. He doesn't understand how it was possible for one's father to die and yet not feel anything for him. His father wasn't a father, it was just a mere title.Look at you now, you are Dead. Loyd said briefly before taking his steps backward. Ever since the Incidence with Maliya. She had grown fearful of him. It wasn't her fault but she was just scared at how he beat the man he found her with a pulp. She asked for a month's space then maybe she would be able to forgive him.And he has done his every best to make sure Anna doesn't come an inch closer to him. The person he loves now was Maliya. No one else.Enzo was over seeing everything. He could hardly hear what the priest he had hired was sayi
Evelyn was now left alone in the mansion. The lawyer had left with a big smile that reached his tiny eyes. He knew the compensation he was going to get would be massive. Surprisingly Loyd left with a dangerous scoff.Wouldn't you have thought that he would have butchered Evelyn to death before leaving. Evelyn stood firm in her simple light green dress that matches her eye colour and the colour made the beauty of her well packed hair pop out.“Who would have thought that I would end up being triumphant”. Her voice came out in a singing tone and crazy enough her voice had that epitome of melody.She took in a very deep breath that signalled satisfaction and triumph. Didn't Megan think she could bring her down. Evelyn walked closer to the family portrait that had every family member on it. Her eyes were directly on Megan.“Where is your pride huh! Evelyn laughed hard in such a way that her chortle echoed in the atmosphere. I guess it's in the trash can, daddy's girl”.“Even your Almight
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
