A MARRIAGE OF CONVENIENCE: MARRIED TO MY ENEMY Chapter 20
~ MeganI maintained my composure, meeting Andrea’s gaze with a steady one. “Well, Andrea,” I began, emphasizing her name, “I believe Charles and I understand each other, and we’re committed to making our marriage work.”Andrea raised an eyebrow, clearly not satisfied with my diplomatic response. “But Megan, it is a fact that Charles is quite the charmer. I can assure you that he has been with almost all the upper-class women in Florida, with you being the lowest of us all. How will you handle the constant attention he gets from other women?”I scoffed internally. Her mask was finally cracking, and my hunch was becoming a reality. Seizing the opportunity, I pressed on, “You seem to know a lot about my husband; don’t tell me you were also among the women he used and dumped?”The other women exchanged glances, seemingly agitated by something. They tried to calm Andrea, but she snapped her hands out of their grasp, her mask completely shattered.“Used is quite a strong word, Megan,” she

~CharlesI stopped when I saw who was talking to Megan, my heart pounding loudly in my chest. It was Janette , the woman I wanted to forget forever. Why was she here? And why the heck was she talking to Megan?I approached them, my face cold. “What are you doing here, Janette ?”The venomous snake turned to me with a smile and tried to hug me, but I stepped back, hardening my frown. “I won’t ask again, Janette ,” I said between my teeth. The veins in my head were already throbbing.Janette looked around in fake concern, then she leaned closer, whispering loudly. “I don’t think we should be talking here; others might hear.”I clenched my fists, but I couldn’t deny that she was right; soon all the other board members would be coming in, and everyone knew me with Janette .Grounding my jaws, I turned back after telling Janette , “Come with me.”Megan made a move to follow, but I stopped her. “Mind your business, Megan; I can handle this.”I left her there speechless. I didn’t see the nee

~ Charles“Look, I don’t want to talk about it, so if you would excuse me, I have work to do,” Megan shunned me before she could continue, but her demeanor changed.“The world doesn’t revolve around you, Charles; I am here to talk about my position,” Megan answered sharply, but I could see something flicker in her eyes. She was lying, but since she wanted to play dumb, I wouldn’t stop her.“Alright. Sit and make it quick,” I responded, gesturing at the chair before my desk.For the rest of the day after that meeting, we didn’t meet again until it was time to go home. Megan tried to make conversation with me, but I wasn’t in the mood, so I ignored her until she finally got the message.A couple of days later, I got a message from my father, reminding me of the weekend getaway he planned for me and Megan. I couldn’t win the argument against the idea, so I decided to make it flexible.I was still not in the right state of mind to have any conversation with Megan, and I knew being alone w

~ Megan.The weekend getaway was ruined for me, and for the next couple of days, Charles and I barely spoke, but then something dramatic happened. It was all screams and quarrels when Anna caught Steve cheating with an attendant at the beach house.The confrontation between Anna and Steve unfolded with raw intensity that left everyone in the room stunned. Anna’s accusations hung in the air like a heavy fog, and Steve, rather than showing remorse or guilt, adopted a nonchalant attitude that only fueled the fire of the quarrel.As Anna’s voice trembled with anger and hurt, Steve stood there, almost indifferent to the gravity of the situation. His nonchalant demeanor was like a slap in the face for accountability for the betrayal she had just discovered. Finally, she had a taste of her own medicine.“You cheated on me, Steve! Right here, on our supposed romantic getaway!” Anna’s words quivered with a mix of fury and heartbreak, her eyes red and puffy from the tears she had shed already.

~ MeganI returned to my room, still affected by everything that happened between Charles and me. I hugged my knees, fighting the tears that were threatening to spill.A sudden knock on the door alerted me. I took a deep breath and composed myself, calling out, “come in.”Charles entered, and there was a visible tension in the air. He seemed aware of his nonchalant attitude. With a hesitant expression, he approached my bed. There were no seats, so he had to stand.“You can sit if you want to,” I said, shifting back into the pillows.An awkward smile appeared on his face as he sat, maintaining the distance between us. “For starters, I want to apologize for what I said earlier, it was uncalled for. I don’t want you to leave… Or at least not now.” He scratched his head awkwardly. “So please don’t move out?”I chuckled, lighting the mood in the room as Charles joined in. “Who would have thought that Charles McCall is a gentleman?” I joked, and Charles shrugged.“A woman like Megan Cole ma

~ CharlesI kept pushing Kala away but she wouldn’t budge. Since she managed to enter this VIP section, she had been all over me and people were watching, they’d think we were together.I tried to discreetly signal to the security, but in the dim lights and the loud music, my attempts were unnoticed. Kala’s persistence was becoming increasingly embarrassing, and I felt trapped in the public eye.As I scanned the room, my eyes met Megan’s, who had just entered. The shock and disappointment in her eyes were evident. I knew I had some explaining to do, and it needed to be done quickly.“Kala, this isn’t the place. Let’s talk outside,” I said, trying to maintain composure.She pouted, clearly displeased with my suggestion. “Why? We’re having fun here.”I sighed, growing impatient. “Kala, please. Just follow my lead.”As we made our way out, the whispers and stares followed us. I could feel Megan’s gaze burning into my back. Once outside, I turned to Kala, frustration evident on my face.“

~ Charles“I will be traveling to Las Vegas,” I told her after she opened the door, but her face remained unconcerned.She tried to close the door, but I stopped it with my foot. “Care to tell me what this attitude is about?” I asked.“What attitude?” Megan retorted, feigning ignorance.I pushed through the door. Terrified, Megan kept reversing back. “What are you doing, Charles?”I smirked. “I want to know why my wife is so upset with me.”“I can tell you from right here,” she said with a shaky voice, still reversing back.I pressed on, intending to provoke her until she finally spoke up. “But I want to be close to you when you do.”Megan’s eyes registered shock. She turned to run, but I caught her and pushed her onto the bed, climbing on top of her, my face uncomfortably close to hers. “Talk, Megan, or I will not let you go.”Megan fought against me, but her struggling was nothing compared to my strength. Playfully, I kissed her cheeks. “Tell me, Megan, why have you been avoiding me

~ CharlesA surge of emotions overwhelmed me. Eventually, I responded to the message with a simple confirmation, dropping my phone afterward. The gentle touches of the girls around me lost their effect, leading to frustration. Excusing myself, I left them behind.At the entrance, I collided with someone. As I lifted my head to scold the person, a smile replaced my frown. “Jake, what brings you here, man?”Chuckling, Jake embraced me. “It’s been a while, Charles.”After exchanging pleasantries, we retreated to a secluded area in the VIP section to catch up.Once again, I confronted Jake with the question he had intentionally avoided, “What’s your deal, man? I thought you were permanently based in London.”Sipping his wine before responding, Jake explained, “I relocated my business headquarters to Las Vegas. It’s more lucrative here.”I nodded in agreement, considering his virtual arcade and casino business. While it was thriving in London, Las Vegas presented even more opportunities.“
