Chapter 4

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 of Greg.

Greg raised the corners of his lips in disdain. It doesn't matter if she had suddenly shown up, he will always be above her when it comes to power, so he thought.

“I thought as much, Megan smirked inwardly. That is why I decided to come with someone”.

As she spoke, a man probably in his late twenties walked in. He wore a suit that soothed his body physique.

The lawyer, whom Greg was talking to, jaw dropped in astonishment. That was the well known, popular barrister Barry. He had never lost a case in his 25 years of experience, and he was well known for his brutality when defending.

How is he here, no one could afford him except the extremely wealthy people? Unbelievable, his heart jacked restlessly.

“My ex-husband cheated on me and his family made my life a living hell. From verbal to domestic abuses” Megan paused looking Greg straight in the eyes.

“What is the likely punishment” she continued.

“Those acts are against the law. Barrister Barry spoke without moving any muscles on his face. And he will be charged with a fine of twenty million dollars or serve a jail time of six months”. He brought out papers, forwarding it to Greg.

“What the fuck, this is rubbish, Where is your evidence meg”. He threw the papers in anger.

“I have a lot of evidence, Greg. She simply said. You know how I love to keep memories? Fortunately, I hid a camera in your room because of my obsession with you”. It not only captured your brutal moments, but the fact that you also cheated.

“You fucking bitch”, Greg burst out. He never knew Megan was clever enough. How could he be so unlucky?

Greg stepped forward, attempting to teach her a good lesson like he normally does.

“You don't want assault and battery to be added to your case now, Mr. Greg. Please behave”. The cold voice stopped him abruptly.

“I heard you got yourself a new toy. Is he the one responsible for your new change all of a sudden?” Greg asked with a fist to confirm what Elizabeth had told him earlier.

Because Megan seemed more confident and there was this fire he never noticed in her.

She didn't reply, but only gave him a provoking smile. She had only one agenda, and that to make Greg and Elizabeth pay dearly for all her sacrifices and pain.

“I never knew you were a slut, meg. We get divorced and the next minute you get into the arms of another man. How spiteful can you be?” Greg shouted on top of his voice.

“Slut”, Megan muttered, looking him dead in the eyes.

“Don't put this on me Greg, you were the one who couldn't keep that thing in-between your legs on check, and you went as far as attempting to frame me”.

“Do you know who you are messing with?” She scoffed at him.

“See you in court and as for our divorce, it has been finalised”. Her lips curved up before she walked away, spreading her blond hair. 

Greg was speechless, Megan had changed so much, she was no longer timid and no longer shiver in front of him.

“Who are you, meg” he mumbled.

*****

“Cheers”!! The girls clashed their glasses containing champagne. Megan couldn't express how she had missed her friends Hailey and Bailey.

“Congratulations, babe on getting rid of your scumbag of an ex”. Bailey yelled over the loud, booming music. They had offered to take her clubbing to clear her mind off Greg.

“Yesss”! Hailey and Megan replied excitedly. They were here to have fun and get loose.

“You know what you need right now, Meg," Hailey asked.

“No”, Megan raised a brow, not liking where the conversation was going because her friends could be crazy.

“A man”, Hailey and Bailey, screamed at the same time in sync.

“No”, Meg cautioned.

“Yes meg, just Look behind you, that man seems to be undressing you with his sexy Grey eyes”. Bailey excitedly announced.

When Meg looked back, her eyes met with an extremely handsome man in the midst of other men. He appears to be cold and outstanding. His hair was packed to the back sleekly and His first three buttons were slightly opened revealing a classic gold chain.

The man couldn't keep his eyes off meg as he kept lusting over her

“Oh my God, Bailey, stop it”. She laughed it up thinking they would leave her alone, but instead they kept teasing her.

A few miles away were four other guys who were all in tailored suits.

“Don't tell me you still have a thing for blond girls”. Asher spoke loudly to Alex, who was completely mesmerized by Megan.

“Fuck no”, Alex cursed.

“Oh come on, we all know you get crazy when you see a little petite Blondie”. Mike interjected with a smirk on his face. Do you want her?” 

“Tell me, and within a few seconds, she will be on your fucking bed”. Jackson smiled mockingly.

The four friends' laughter vibrated across the club, they had wanted to celebrate Alex's return to New York after he had suddenly left.

“You know, I don't fuck with just anyone. Alex replied with a smirk on his face”. He had never seen Megan, and neither had he heard of her.

“Oh yeah, you love to take them on a nice date and fuck em all through the morning and leaving nothing except an envelope of money and a “Thank You” note. How ruthless”. Jackson put his hands on his mouth, trying to cover up his mischievous smile.

Alex was one hell of a person. He got with different women with no strings attached. He had been like that until he met Brittany, who changed him for good.

Just when he thought he found love and wanted to marry her. She left him stranded at the altar with an excuse of wanting to further her career.

“Come on man, you have been celibate since Brittany dumped you”, " Asher commented.

The atmosphere suddenly got colder and sour. Alex didn't like to hear her name. So he stood up abruptly. This was a mistake, he never should have come here. Now he's lusting over a blond girl because she looked like Brittany.

Taking an aggressive stride, he suddenly stumbled as his vision began to get blurry, his body temperature raised as he felt he wanted to rip his clothes apart.

“What did you guys do?”. He struggled to ask his friends, whose faces gave it all away.

“Helping you move on”. Those last words of Mike were what he heard before he blackout.

Megan, who was also there started to feel very funny, her eyelids felt heavy, and she felt a discomfort in-between her legs. Her head seemed weighty, and she couldn't quite decipher what was happening.

“Meg.Meg…meg… Her friends called out. Are you fine?”

Their angelic voices started to get distant until her vision were replaced with tiny black dots which finally spread, causing a blackout.
