“For a moment I almost thought you were Brittany, as you both look oddly familiar”. Jasmine's voice echoed, she was dressed in a glamorous silk like gown that glowed like the way the stars glowed in the night sky.“Excuse me”, Megan didn't quite understand the reason her step-sister's name was mentioned. Brittany wasn't exactly her step or half sister, they had no relationship and were only brought together because her father had married her mother.Other than that they were not related by blood. And to even think of it, she never had an encounter with Brittany, but her name appears to be significant in her life.“I just hate the fact that you look so much like Brittany. I don't like you for my brother”. She whispered.Megan looked at her with a smile. “What is your name?”“Jasmine”.“Listen Jasmine I never said I had anything to do with your brother, I am only here for Shayna, she invited me here”.“Really, she scoffed. You might not have anything to do with my brother, but when I se
“What the fuck Jasmine”, Megan screamed at Jasmine who was desperately kissing Mike and touching him, her hands were trailing down his groin area. This broke her heart so much Jasmine was only seventeen and Mike was like thirty-one years old.They separated from each other, but she could see reluctance in Jasmine's eyes. Mike, on the other hand, was expressionless. He just acted like Megan did not just catch him kissing Jasmine.“Jasmine, what are you doing with him?” Emotions filled her tiny voice as she spoke.“I think the question should be: what are you doing here, why do you keep ruining things for me?” Light tears streamed down Jasmine's eyes as she retorted.Megan was surprised that she was actually shedding tears, does this mean that she was in love with Mike, but he was too old for her. And Alex would go berserk if he learns his little sister was coveting Mike.“Does Alex even know about this, Mike how could you do this”? Megan's eyes trailed from Jasmine to Mike who was stil
“Listen Megan, I know you are angry with me, and I understand that my behaviour may come up strange, and I am sorry” Alex started.Megan was stunned, she was still processing all of Alex's actions throughout the day, he had been acting like a proper gentleman like he did in France when he showed up in front of her door with flowers and chocolates.“You have been a jerk towards me, Alex, what changed all of a sudden?” Megan asked.“Megan, trust me when I say I am truly sorry, I lose control whenever someone brings up my past, especially Brittany. That was what happened on that day, I know I should have given you an explanation, but I was just angry” Alex stated, accepting his faults and wrongdoings while staring into Megan's eyes.The car was filled with tension as Megan battled internally about what she would do next. She felt conflicted and was overwhelmed emotionally. Different emotions coursed through her body, Megan was angry and hurt. She was also confused, was Alex playing towar
Chapter 38."Let go of me Alex, can't you hear someone in the car?" Megan asked, glaring at Alex. The veil of lust peeled off her eyes as she tried to push herself off Alex but he wasn't having it."Shh, Megan whoever is knocking will go away, kiss me one more time please" Alex begged holding Megan's wrist tightly so she couldn't escape."Are you out of your mind Alex? What are you thinking?" Megan lashed out."One more time Megan, if you leave me now I don't think I will survive it" Alex said as he grabbed Megan's second hand leading it to his groin."Can you feel me Megan, I am so hard for you" he continued."Alex, someone is outside, they could hear us or probably see us" Megan countered."The windows are tinted Megan, no one can see us, one last kiss please" Alex begged desperately. He was losing his mind begging Megan not to go.He could see the look of contemplation in Megan's face, "I don't think the person who knocked on the door is still there, let me have you please Megan" A
Chapter 39"Loyd, I will be there in half an hour, please wait for me," Megan said over the phone."What's the problem Megan? Why did Loyd call?" Bailey asked."I have to go now, Loyd needs me" Megan replied. as she stood up from the bed walking towards Bailey's closet."What's the matter Megan?" Bailey asked, confusion written all over her face."I really can't say Bailey, I just have to go home right now " Megan replied, she opened up a mini bag as she threw her clothes inside.A forlorn look of worry could be seen on Megan's face as she closed her bag, she sat on the bed trying to fix her shoes in a rush."Do I come with you?" Bailed asked softly..she knew Megan wasn't one to play with her family especially Loyd, if Loyd had called her, it was definitely something serious."No Bailey, there is no need for that, you have done enough for me and I really appreciate it. I already ordered a ride, it will be here very soon,"Megan replied."Okay, but did he say what the problem was?" Bail
Chapter 40."You look beautiful Elizabeth," Mrs Wilson, Greg's mother, praised."Thank you mother, you have done everything just for me " Elizabeth replied, holding Mrs Wilson's hands, she was dressed in a white wedding gown, facing a vanity mirror, the stylist had just finished with final touches of her makeup and left the room.Elizabeth stared at her reflection in the mirror, she was looking so radiant and extremely beautiful, the happiness was evident all over face.She had waited for this day and now the day was here, her heart couldn't contain the excitement and joy she was feeling.It was overwhelming, today she was going to become Greg's lawful wife, although the ceremony was not as huge as she wanted it to be, but at least half of the city members were invited."Come on we have to start going, we can't keep Greg waiting now.. he might think that you decided to call off the wedding" Mrs Wilson teased."I would never think of doing that mother, you know it's my greatest wish an
Chapter 41 There wasn't so much work to be done at the office but still Megan's presence was needed at the company. What she did not expect was the magazine her assistant had just handed over to her. With a wave, she dismissed the assistant from the office as she took a second look at the picture of Elizabeth and Greg. They looked so happy together, her gaze rested on Elizabeth as a sly smile appeared on her lips. She looked so radiant and beautiful. Megan thought of Beth always managing to come out of every difficult situation she was in. She chuckled at the irony of her life as the memory of Elizabeth pinning the blame of her miscarriage on her despite knowing she wasn't pregnant. She did everything she could to get Greg and now she finally had him, Megan wished them both happiness even though they did not deserve it. She was determined to move on as she was stronger and also in a better position now, there was no need to carry the baggage of the past. Although Megan wasn't go
"Detective?" Megan repeated.She was surprised that this officer approached her and was now introducing himself to her, what could he want from me? She thought to herself.The situation seemed kind of crude and she could already suspect something fishy.Meanwhile on the other side of the city the mastermind was having a great time, Elizabeth, "Since we didn't get a wedding gift from her, I decided to send one to her '' Elizabeth said to Greg while drawing circles on his chest, they were both lying on the bed, naked after a round of intense love making."What do you plan to do now Beth?" Greg asked with a sly smile on his face while taking his attention off his phone."Why don't we send her back to where she belongs, the prison that is where Megan belongs for everything she has done to us" Beth replied as anger was starting to rise in her."How can we do that?""So here is the plan..."Elizabeth revealed her plans to Greg and the smile on his face grew wider."Absolutely perfect my lo
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
