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.
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
Chapter 6“What did you say, dear”?Mr. Leonard was shocked as Megan announced that she wanted to take over the m&k fashion group.He never imagined that his daughter Margaret would have any interest in the company.“Yes, dad, Megan can take over. We know she is intelligent and has the ability to make the company triumph”. Loyd interjected.“Will you shut up, pastor?” He was reminded by the fact that Loyd just announced that he wanted to become a pastor.“You ungrateful soul. After everything I did for you. This is how you repay me”. He gave a long look at Loyd before turning towards Megan calmly.“Margaret darling, you do know that this comes with a lot of responsibility and time. Are you sure you can actually take over?” He explained while gesturing his hands.“Yes dad”. Megan replied without moving a muscle on her face.“Okay”. Mr. Leonard took in a long breath as he struggled to decide.“I cannot fully keep it under your care, Margaret. This company was one of your mother's greate
Chapter 7 Greg paced the living room of Mr. Chase as he awaited him in his study room. His thoughts were running wild and anger brewed in his blood. The door creaked, revealing Mr. Chase in his three-piece suit. He had an insipid expression on his oval face. “To what, do I owe this visit, Greg”. He said with suspiciousness laced in his eyes. “I… I need your help, sir”. Mr. Chase could not help but feel irritated. What else did he want? If it wasn't for the fact that he was his daughter’s fiancée. He wouldn't even spare him a glance. “Speak”. Mr. Chase thundered. “It's my wife. I mean my ex-wife, Megan”. His eyebrows knit together as a flicker of embarrassment crosses his face. “I don't know how she could fucking afford a lawyer, but I am sure she is playing mind games with me. She went as far as suing me for domestic abuse. I want to teach her a great lesson”. He said with gritted teeth. “If you could just help me…. “What!”. The thunderous voice echoed in the room, interrupt
Chapter 8 It's been a week since Alex’s one-night stand. In his handmade tailored suit, he stood rigidly while staring blindly at the windows. He was deep in thoughts. Thought that were dangerous if they were more than that. His face was straight, like someone who hadn't smiled for years. “Sir”! John, who happened to have entered the office with two envelopes, interrupted Alex's silent dialogue with himself. “What did you find out?” He asked coldly without facing John. “Mr. Jackson has been found in Italy. Apparently, he leaked confidential secrets of our newly made design and was looking for an appropriate time to sell it to our biggest rival," Jackson paused before continuing. "Silverline group," he added with a cringe. “So when Jackson, Asher, and Mike drugged you up to have a nice time with a woman. Sir Jackson has another agenda, which he carried out immediately”. “That was why silverline group claimed right and accused us of forgery. But thank God you took care of that, s
Chapter 9 “What is this, dad?” Megan questioned subtly. Her brows furrowed into a curious frown. “You might find this strange, but This contract came in from an anonymous source yesterday”. “It is an exclusive opportunity to bid on a prestigious project in the realm of high-end jewelry. Mr. Leonard echoed with satisfaction. Megan brows scrunched upwards. An anonymous offer from an unknown source was quite dangerous. “But why do we need to participate in this project if we don't even know who is offering it to us”. “When it comes to business, my dear, we take risks. And moreover there are rumours that this could be an offer from the most prestigious jewellery maker Mrs. Margaret who was famous globally”. Megan was in a whirlwind of emotions. She found it quite odd as she shook her head as if to get rid of the eerie feeling. “This is not to be joked with, Margaret. The Gold's group who happens to be our partner is also involved as well as our mortal rival, the silverline jeweller
Chapter 10Megan slid into the car, her breath still laboured from the frantic escape. She couldn't shake the feeling of Elizabeth's predatory gaze on her back. As the door closed, she exhaled a shaky breath, grateful for the temporary reprieve.“Go after her, stupid,” came Elizabeth’s stern command from the Crowd, her voice cutting through the tension like a knife.But Before the paparazzi could swarm the car, they were already speeding away, the engine purring softly. Inside the luxurious vehicle, Alex's expression remained unreadable, devoid of warmth or emotion.“Thank you,” Megan muttered, feeling a mix of gratitude and confusion toward the enigmatic stranger beside her.However, no response at all came in from Alex who was in a conflicted state. He had no idea why he helped Megan. On his way from his office he had sighted her being surrounded by paparazzi, and immediately he saw her together with Elizabeth, he knew there was foul play. And Just like he was controlled, he immedi
Loyd's eyes flared open."You don't love Me?" Megan heard Loyd raise his voice again, a little higher this time. She dropped her suitcase on one of the sofas, took off her coat and moved closer to the direction of the voice. "Anna, I..." Loyd shook his head. "I changed for your sake, I put away my bad attitude, I stopped taking the fucking ganja for your sake and you still don't love me?" The expression on his face was a mix of anger and disappointment."That's not..." Anna began to say."We've been together for a month, Anna. I've tried my best, I gave you everything you asked for, I've finally managed to become a better person with your help. So what do you mean you don't love me?"Megan silently walked to the dining room where the sounds were coming from and peeked her head in. Loyd and Anna were seated on one of the stools and Loyd was gazing intently at her. Her brother's pale face and reddened ears increased her worry and she could not see the face of the other female because
Anna knew that this all started from that day at Ohio……“From the votes cast, we have come to a conclusion that majority of us are in support of the Smart House get- together,” a lady in a simple steel grey suit said with a paper in her hand. Around her were seated some members of the Smart House event planning committee which comprised of high-class men and women who looked uninterested and eager to round up the meeting. The lady began to read out the details of the poll received from their subsidiary companies while one of the men took out a cigar.After a boring read and stressful taking of suggestions, she arranged the files together and submitted them to the board of directors.The board of directors of The Smart House Inc. also thought it was a reasonable idea to organize a get-together for all the staff working under them in all their subsidiaries. The goal was to bring all the employees together in an atmosphere that would be conducive enough for them to know each other and
