A MARRIAGE OF CONVENIENCE: MARRIED TO MY ENEMY Chapter 52
~ CharlesIgnoring Megan’s warning, I continued with my plans, convinced that my actions wouldn’t have a lasting impact on her since I was certain that her feelings for me were just a mere infatuation.Janette was the real deal; she was just a pawn that I was using to end her. After years of living in the pain of what she did to me, I finally knew it was time to make her pay even if it meant stooping low to her level. I was willing to do anything to get my mental health steady again after such a long time.Unfortunately, Megan’s emotions were the little consequences in the grand scheme of things I was plotting. I couldn’t easily ignore them.Days passed by fast, and the tension between us just kept reaching new heights. Megan and I shared nothing more than fleeting glances; our interactions reduced until it was non-existent.The air was always thick with tension and unspoken words whenever we were together, creating an atmosphere of great discomfort. We also stopped returning from wor

~ CharlesThere was a particular attitude that came with the way Megan carried herself these days. It was as if the humble, naïve, but stubborn woman I met that fateful night was slowly slipping away.She still had the same poise, like the grace of a lioness, as we faced a number of questions from the reporters.“… What happens in our marriage is nobody’s business unless we choose to share; no one has the right to share such private details about us,” she said, her fingers intertwined with mine.I also forgot to mention that she was getting better at acting in front of the public. She wore the mask perfectly and only removed it when we were no longer under a spotlight.“We’ll take adequate measures to ensure that the people that share that information will be brought to book,” I added, firmly interlocking my fingers with Megan’s.However, we were not prepared for the next question the reporter was going to throw at us.“Rumors have it that your marriage is nothing but a contractual ag

~ CharlesThe charity event was adorned with majesty, an extravagant display of wealth and generosity mingling in the dimly lit room. Despite the noble cause for the gathering, the air was thick with a sense of competition.Amidst the sea of faces, I spotted Jake, my brows furrowed as he also noticed us and began walking our way.After exchanging stiff pleasantries, Jake’s eyes darted toward a necklace—a blue diamond with a gold necklace chain. It was a stunning combination of rare beauty and timeless elegance, but I was uninterested in it.“Charles, old buddy, that’s a stunning piece. I’ve got my eyes on it,” Jake told me, much to my dismay.’So how is that my business?’ I wanted to ask, but I knew it would just let Jake know of the hostility I have towards him, and right now, it was too soon for that.Before I could reply, Megan did, her eyes fixed on the diamond, her amber eyes glistening with curiosity. “This blue diamond is known for its captivating hue, resembling the deep blue

~ MeganCharles came knocking on my door, but I ignored him until he got the message and stopped. I was very exhausted from everything that happened yesterday, and to top it off, I had to deal with Charles. I did my nightly routine and went straight to bed, driven by exhaustion.In the morning, I woke up to the sound of my phone buzzing on the nightstand. Prying my eyes open, I groaned as I reached over, fumbling to answer the call. A familiar name was on display on the screen.“Hello?” I answered, my voice still thick with sleep.“Happy birthday, Megan,” a familiar voice greeted me. It took a moment for my foggy brain to register that it was Jake. My brows furrowed slightly, but I didn’t want to sound rude with the question I had in mind.“Thank you, Jake,” I replied, sitting up and rubbing my eyes, “but why are you calling so early?”“I wanted to be the first to wish you. By the way, did you like my gift?” I could feel Jake smiling at the other end of the line, and it made my skin t

~ Megan“Charles, stop!” I cried as I tried to separate them. Thankfully, some staff came in with Charles, so they pulled him off Jake.“What the fuck, man?” Jake wiped the edge of his lips that were now bleeding. “Are you fucking nuts?”Charles shook his head, his eyes still mad with rage. “No mate, I am fine. You are the sick one.”I looked from Charles to Jake, confusion etched in my head. “What is going on here?”“Don’t ask me, ask him,” Charles hissed as he struggled to break free from the lounge staff.“No, Charles, I am asking you, what you are doing here,” I affirmed, facing Charles, my face devoid of a smile. “Why did you just barge in here like a madman and attack Jake? How did you even know I was here with him?”“You are asking the wrong questions, Megan,” Charles said. He finally succeeded in breaking free from the staff, then he barked at them, “get out and better stay quiet about this or I promise to make all your lives a miserable living hell.”After the staff left on t

~ Megan“No.” I held up a finger, stopping Janette from speaking. “Not today.”With that, I walked away, leaving behind my burden. When I came to this restaurant, I was starving, but now I have lost my appetite. The only place I could think of escaping to was my news agency.“Surprise!” The employees chimed as I entered, as if they were expecting me.I forced smiles as we cut the cake and popped the bottle of champagne. I couldn’t maintain my face for much longer, so I quietly slipped away into the confines of my office.I sat there for almost two hours, pondering whether or not to terminate the contract between Jake and me. I decided not to do it for obvious reasons. The only reason I would be forced to terminate was if the contract was flagged by default, and as of now, Jake had performed part of his obligations to the contract. I was the one left to complete my own end of the agreement.I groaned, running my fingers through my hair, scattering the ponytail I had made. I felt so bet

~ Megan“I am not a bank, Anna. I suggest you try your luck again with them.”Anna shook her head, rejecting my denial. “You are my last hope, Megan; we’ve waited for years for my mother to make it to the top of that list, now all I need is the money to pay.” In a split second, she grabbed my hands, desperation in her grip. “For old times’ sake, Megan, help me.”I snapped my hands out of her grasp with disdain. “For new times’ sake, get out of my office before I have you thrown out.”“Please, Megan,” Anna choked out. She went on her knees, pleading with me as if I held the keys to her mother’s life. “This isn’t the Megan I know. The Megan I know won’t watch another human die when she can help.”I chuckled bitterly. “You are right. This isn’t the Megan you knew. This is the Megan you made. You created a monster; live with the consequences.” I punched a few buttons on the landline phone on my desk; in a second, it rang. “Have security escort this woman out of my office,” I ordered.Anna

~ Megan I didn’t return my father’s smile. I just wanted him to be done and out of my face. “If you want money, I will send you the little I have—” “The little you have would mean nothing compared to the problem it is supposed to fix,” my father cut me off. “You were right about something.” He stared at me from a much more comfortable position. “There was no fire at any of our shops, but there was a fire at a warehouse where I had workers sewing fake designer branded clothes. And some people got hurt. They are poor, so a little money wouldn’t be too much to compensate them unless they’d open their mouths.” “I don’t see how that’s my business, Dad,” I said between my teeth, emphasizing on the ‘Dad.’ The man that raised me wasn’t the one sitting before me now. He was a complete stranger. A stranger who dealt illegally to make ends meet. What happened to the man that was once my role model? “You are disappointed in me right?” My father asked with a half-baked smile, and for a brief mo
