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
Megan's head snapped towards the footsteps that were approaching the door, she quickly stood up Dusting off the imaginary dirt that had settled on her skirt.The hospital door burst open making Megan almost hiss at hiss at the sight in front of her.“I take it that you are not very pleased to see me. Evelyn's lips curled into a smug smile”. As her tone dripped with condescension.“Oh! Did I make it that obvious?” Megan gritted her teeth as she looked at Evelyn with loathe. She still couldn't believe that Evelyn and her father were having a relationship, Even before her mother had died.Evelyn paused looking at Megan with a deadly gaze, how she hated her. She may look like her father but she definitely had the wittiness of her damn mother. She thought silently within her.“Let's make peace, your father is on the sick bed and needs us now more than ever”. Her lips curled into a delicate smile that didn't reach her eyes.“Peace? Megan repeated the word with a flared nose. Isn't it unbeli
Brittany always knew Alex was meant to be with her. Megan was just a time of short pleasure, she will be the one to be with Alex forever.She was in a hotel room she had booked earlier. Waiting for someone. Someone she was not supposed to see anymore. Just when she was thinking about this person.The door opened, revealing Anna. Hier posture slightly slouched as if trying to make herself as unobtrusive as possible. Her eyes, wide and earnest, flickered nervously around the room, never lingering too long on the only person in the room.“To what do I owe this invite to, Brittany”. She said Curtly and with somewhat disdain.“Brittany. Brittany echoed her own name in irritation. That isn't what you called me the last time we spent together”. She smirked, giving her that slutty look.“I thought you said to end our relationship. Or isn't Alex enough for you”. Her heart pounded with a mixture of resentment and hurt, each beat echoing the unfairness she felt.“So you are jealous, huh”! Britta
Each step was a measured dance, a symphony of caution as Megan held coffee in her hands. She walked steadily towards her formidable mother-in-law, Mrs. Wilson.“What took you so long”. She asked in a high-pitched voice and a facial expression mirroring the wicked stepmother character in Cinderella.That woman was the root of all evil.“I apologize mother, I burnt myself while making your coffee, that was why I took so long”. Megan spoke out, showing the red scar on her finger. "Why should I care about your mishaps? Mrs. Wilson scoffed mockingly. Just hand over the coffee”.“I adjusted the sugar just as you have asked ”. Megan's lips raised with a polite smile.This was the second time she was making the coffee, since Mrs. Wilson had complained about the last one having too much sugar.And this has been her life for the past five years. She fell in love with Greg during their university days and married him, hoping for love to win.Megan nervously looked up at the large clock on the w
Megan squeezed hard on the divorce papers Greg threw at her. She looked at it sorrowfully to see that it had already been signed by him.She always knew Greg had little or no feelings for her. He had married her immediately after he broke up with Elizabeth. And now that she thinks of it, it seems he married her just to spite Elizabeth and make her come back to him.Megan gazed into the direction of the window with disbelief evidenced in her beautiful green eyes. While Greg stood in the glow of the evening, petting Elizabeth and whispering sweet nothing to her.They seemed so perfect for each other, as their features complemented one another.“I've signed the papers. You should also sign them so that we can finalise the divorce at City Hall tomorrow”. Greg said without taking his eyes off Elizabeth, who was still crying.“Since we didn't have any prenuptial agreement, there won't be any delay in finalising the divorce”.Megan was speechless. “Does your mother know about this?”“She doe
In the dimly lit room, Elizabeth laid peacefully on Greg's chest. Her thoughts were occupied by the image of Megan getting into that sleek Rolls-Royce.Her eyes flickered, with uncertainty and insecurity. Could it be that Megan was just lucky, or there was something more? She moved uncomfortably on Greg's body before she spoke out.“Greg, do you think Megan has another man?” Her eyebrows raised, giving an impression of her obliviousness.“Why?” He asked, pretending to be indifferent, but deep down he wanted to know more.“I saw her get into a Rolls-Royce after she had signed the divorce papers”.He wanted to laugh at Elizabeth's face, but he didn't. He knew well enough that Megan didn't know anyone, and neither did she socialise with people during their five years of marriage.“Megan doesn't know or has anyone of such, it's probably a taxi. After all, most taxi these days use good cars”.“I am scared, babe, Elizabeth's lips trembled pretentiously. What if we get caught. What if she is
Greg couldn't believe his eyes right now. Megan was supposed to be behind bars, but here she stood firmly. His breath hitched as his eyes widened in realization. “I feel hurt, Greg, how could you just insinuate that I wouldn't be here on this important day”? A playful smirk tugged at the corners of her lips.“I… I thought you weren't coming”. Those were the only words he could think of.“Did you think I wasn't coming, or you hoped for me to be behind bars”. Megan said with a sinister grin.Greg's eyelid twitches nervously, did she know what he did?“I would like to file for domestic abuse. Megan didn't waste time turning to the lawyer. Do you think that is possible?”“What!!” Greg could see the walls of the office closing in on him. Where was this coming from?“You are not out of your mind, Meg, but you seem to have forgotten your place”. His jaw tightened. We are here to finalize our divorce, so stop spitting nonsense”“No ma'am I can't help you with that”, The lawyer spoke in favor
Chapter 5Megan in a dark room laid on a large queen size bed, how she got there was a mystery. A few minutes ago, she was with her friends having fun, but suddenly, she wasn't. At least that was what she could remember.Her breath increased rapidly as she felt rough hands on her belly. Wasn't she alone, her heart pounded and at the same time she felt ecstasy build up slowly in her body?She wanted to speak, but it was more like her voice had disappeared.“You know what”! Megan’s heart thundered in her chest as she heard the hoarse and manly voice. This confirmed the fact that it was a man.“I haven't had sex in the past five years”. Alex drunkenly said. He felt the innocence of the lady beneath him. It's been so long since he had sex.So his body burned violently as he couldn't hold the desire to take her hard. He immediately brought Megan closer, taking her by the lips.She shouldn't be enjoying this right, he was with a total stranger. She was supposed to scream for help. But why d
