Megan refused to sleep until Alex cuddled her, in less than twenty minutes she fell asleep and Alex separated his body from her with great difficulty.He sat on the couch facing Megan as he watched her sleep, she looked so peaceful and innocent, Alex clicked his tongue while shaking his head ."Vixen " Alex muttered, referring to Megan, she was truly a difficult case.He ordered a bottle of wine to calm himself when he received a call from one of his men."Why are you calling at this hour?" Alex requested as he poured out a glass of wine for himself."Boss, there is something urgent you need to know," the voice answered."Urgent? What is it?" Alex questioned."It's Megan's boss, she is trying to investigate the whereabouts of Hailey and she is almost close to finding her," the man reported."What do you mean almost? Are you trying to give her access then?" Alex threw back."No boss, but what do we do?" The man asked dumbly"Close all traces, if she get even a slightest hint I will fuc
Mr. Leonard was literally panting in anger. The anger, already simmering beneath the surface, surged like a tidal wave upon laying eyes on Megan.“Where the hell have you been, Megan? The company suffered a major downfall in your absence and for that reason someone hacked our database and removed a huge sum of money, limiting our ability to invest in growth opportunities”.“What?” Megan's body froze for a moment and her mouth fell agape. How was that even possible, the song group has the best security, not even an ant could sneak in?“You had one job Megan, one job and that is to take care of your mother's company, to make it seer into its highest limit, how could you be so irresponsible”? Pain was evident in Mr. Leonard’s voice as he quivered.“Irresponsible”, Megan repeated. Her eyes darted around, searching for some semblance of understanding in the whirlwind of events unfolding before her.“Yes, I traced your whereabouts just now, and it shows you were at the club”. He paused, loo
Elizabeth's little plans were ongoing, she succeeded in making the Songs company suffer a loss, and she knew Megan's father would be so disappointed in her, and it was precisely what she wanted.Elizabeth had made arrangements earlier with her Father, and he was able to reach Alexander offering a business proposal. But this didn't come easy. Elizabeth took a deep breath as stood in front of Gold's building, she made her father send her out as a representative for the deal.She had eyes on Alex for a while now and this was a great opportunity, once, she was going to do everything possible to make sure the deal fell through.Having a connection with the Gold's group was something everyone wished, and now the Song's group was shaking at the moment, investors were bound to pull out.Elizabeth sashayed into the office as she stopped by the reception, “I am here to meet with Alexander" She said to the receptionist in a prideful tone.“Sorry miss, do you have an appointment?” The receptionis
After her meeting and Immediately Elizabeth left Alex's office, she called up her father. She was brimming with excitement, she couldn't believe that Alex would agree so easily.She already made back plans to convince Alex if he had refused her. Mr. Chase picked up immediately his phone started ringing, he was nervous and quite reluctant when Elizabeth demanded to represent the company.He knew Elizabeth was capable and all, but this was Alexander Gold, one ruthless man feared by many.“Beth dear, how did it go?” Mr. Chase asked.“Father, you won't believe it!” Elizabeth screamed, but then she realised that she was still in an office, and so she quickly located the restroom.“Dad Alex agreed to work with us" Elizabeth announced“Are you serious Elizabeth or are you playing games now?” Mr. Chase asked in disbelief.“Believe me father this isn't a time to joke around, Alex agreed to work with us, not just that father, he was extremely kind and gentle with me, I didn't have to say so muc
Chapter 52.Elizabeth had a celebratory dinner with her father, he was extremely pleased with her. Mr Chase discussed the next step with her and they drafted out their next plans."There will be a press conference tomorrow Elizabeth, we have to announce this new partnership with Gold's company and you will announce the news of our auction" Mr Chase proposed."Father, two weeks is such a short time, are we going to meet up with the designs?" Elizabeth inquired."Yes dear, I already have everything sorted out for now you must play your cards properly" Mr Chase answered."Okay dad, I should get going now" Elizabeth said."Dear, one more thing, keep away the most important details from Greg" Mr Chase stated."Why father?" Beth asked puzzled."Do as I say Beth, you will understand later on" Mr Chase replied. Elizabeth hugged her father as she left the house.When she got home, Greg tried to inquire about how her day went but she just gave him a neutral response.She told him Alex agreed
Alex had desperately been calling Megan every single time he set his hands on his phone, but she never returned his call, he dropped a call morning, afternoon, and evening.On the other hand, Elizabeth kept meeting with Alex, and they had a few dinners together and so far, everything was going well.Beth launched her jewelry successfully, despite everything Megan did to stop it. The auction was also a success as everyone praised Elizabeth for the beautiful designs.Her fan base grew to a whole different level as everyone wanted a piece of the famous Beth's jewelries.After her sudden fame, it was time for the interview. She had named her collection Silverline just like her father's company and all the media companies kept on requesting for an interview which Elizabeth was happy to grant.She arrived at the location, and she got seated, the journalist who was doing the interview was seated beside her full of smiles, they were waiting for the media team to get set before they could star
Chapter 54.Megan's father looked towards her with rage “What the actual hell Megan, how could you do something this terrible?” Mr. Leonard blasted.Megan's gaze remained fixed on the television. Alas, everything she was trying to avoid happened, Elizabeth found a way to tarnish her reputation dragging her name in the mud.Tears threatened to spill from her eyes on hearing her father's harsh words, but she held it back, she has made up her mind never to look weak in her dad's presence.“Don't you dare talk to her in that manner!” Loyd shouted at Leonard.“You will stay out of this Loyd, this is between Your sister and I" Leonard barked, standing furiously.“I won't, what kind of father are you? Don't you want to hear her own side of the story, you just already concluded that she did it!” Loyd retorted.Evelyn watched Megan, who remained quiet despite the chaos.“What else is there to ask, Loyd? Can't you see the evidence right in front of you, your sister has become something else bec
What the fuck!" Alex cursed out loud. Small gasps could be heard from the people present in the lobby.Who would dare to slap Alexander Gold? One akin to a demigod.Megan was so furious and couldn't care about anything at the moment as she removed her hat and shades still shooting daggers at Alex.Alex grabbed her hands, “Come with me, " he barked.“Let go of me this instant, Alex!” Megan retorted, pulling back.Seeing that Megan was standing on her ground and refusing to move, he angrily carried Megan, flipping her over his shoulders. “Put me down this minute Alex, have you gone mad?” Megan yelled, hitting Alex's shoulders as he carried her into his office.Immediately he closed the door behind him. He dropped Megan on the floor, and she pushed him using all her might.“You are crazy Alex, why did you bring me here?” She yelled.Alex was confused, what is going on with Megan? “Listen to me Megan” he said as he took small steps towards her.“You Alex, you have ruined everything for m
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
