I have waited for you Chapter 32 The Will
I opened my eyes and looked at the vast room, signs of the early morning already streaming through the heavy curtains, panic set in and I patted the side of the bed, it was cold and empty. I threw my head in my pillow with a sigh. It had been a dream. god, it had felt so real. I touched my lips and savored what I thought had been a kiss from a ghost. Did I dream all of that? I touched the soft spot between my thighs and sighed again. This was not something I would ever admit to anyone. I probably had a wet dream. Glad I was alone, I moved the covers and swung my legs to the side of the bed. I needed to get ready for the reading of the will. The pills that Ludovic had given me last night had done a wonderful job plus I felt more relaxed than I had since Neon's death. I noticed also that I could recall Neon's accident without rolling into a heap of a mess on the floor. I hoped I was healing and not in denial about it as I had been with Ben attacking me. This time there would be no Ne
I have waited for you Chapter 33 Tiny Wincy Question.
_Meghan"Are you satisfied with the way things went at the reading?" Ludovic asked as soon as we settled at the back of the waiting car. "I don't understand, satisfied how?" Did he mean I could have asked for more than the lot I have just received? It had been more than anything I could have asked for or dreamed of. My head was still reeling from the shock of it all, and I didn't even know how was I going to start processing it. "I mean, was everything clear? No burning questions you want to ask me?" He looked at me through lowered lashes trying to hide the grin that was slowly forming. "No questions, or just two," I said, taking the bait. "That sounds like questions to me." He openly grinned at me. "I was wondering…why he didn't leave anything for his parents, I mean, he practically left everything to Ethan.""It's simple, my brother and his wife have wealth, and they both getting old to start running an international business like Petrov Ltd. The world can be a cruel place when

_Ludovic. I sat on my chair behind my desk with a long sigh. At last, the circus was over. We had done it. Half of our problem was nearly solved. All that was left now was to take action and I knew that part Neon would take care of. I was waiting for a call from Neon to tell me when it was done. I hated to have lied to Meghan about having a lot of work to do but it was either that or I would be very unfocused and agitated at dinner. Thinking of Meghan. I hoped that when all was said and done, she would forgive us for the part we played in deceiving her and toying with her emotions, it had been cruel but necessary. The silver lining about this was that not all of it was false, the reading of the will had been genuine, the only problem being, Neon was still alive and well. But he was now a pauper, with all his assets gone, and would have to sweet talk his way back into her good graces again, what a gamble. If things didn't go according to plan, he was screwed. If this is what love d
I have waited for you Chapter 35 The Chess Game
_Meghan The car pulled into the parking lot of the station. The officer escorted me inside. As soon as we had sat down and a detective was introducing himself. The door burst open. "I wouldn't do that if I were you, Detective."We both turned to see a tall, stern man standing in the doorway, he must be the family lawyer Ludovic was talking about. He held a document in his hands, a document that held my fate in its inked words. I could see the detective sink in his chair with a defeated chuckle. "What are the charges against my client?" He asked the detective in a relaxed manner."There are no charges yet, it was just routine questions." The detective answered without the enthusiasm he seemed to possess earlier. "You and I know how wrong this is, on so many levels. A Russian detective investigating a murder that happened in London, please tell me this is a joke." The lawyer said without much emotion in his words. The Detective shrank back into his chair, looking sheepish and s

_Ludovic The morning following the chess game, I walked into the kitchen to find Meghan already on what I thought was her second cup of coffee. "Please don't tell me you didn't sleep after the wonderful game we had last night," I asked her."I did, what makes you say that?" Her brows furrowed. "You having coffee and there is an empty cup already." I pointed to the already-used cup in front of her."No. it's nothing like that." She leaned back in her chair, I thought she was beginning to accept Neon's absence. The lines around her face were slowly fading away. "Miriam was here earlier. We were having coffee together." "The simple answer is always the correct one." I poured myself a cup and leaned against the Island."How is she, Miriam I mean?" "She's okay, she's very good with Ethan." She was either being vague or she didn't understand what I was asking her. Either way, I let it go. "Okay, what are your plans for today?" She tensed her shoulders and then answered nonchalantly
I have waited for you Chapter 37 You did Great
_MiriamWhat Ludovic didn't know was that last night I hadn't been mad because of the proposal that he made, I was more hurt than angry because he had awakened something that had laid a doormat inside of me, something that I had once longed for but thought It would never happen. Hence the outburst, he had triggered a very sensitive spot inside of me. "You mean that you are willing to listen to my idea?" He prowled closer, his eyes glittering with hope. "I'm here aren't I not?" I said, the words came out harsher than I had intended for them."Okay, so this is how I think we should do…" He was instantly in his element, laying out plans for something that had not even taken form yet. I listened attentively, trying not to crumble and cry at his words. He was saying everything that I've always wanted to hear and thought I never would hear from a man."Have you considered my age and that there are high chances that this might fail?" I asked, afraid that I might disappoint him somehow. "Y
I have waited for you Chapter 38 Count your Blessings
_Meghan The following morning I was woken up by someone knocking at my door, I couldn't remember the last time I had slept like that, it had been like I turned off everything and fell into a dreamless sleep. I opened the door and found Ludovic in casual wear, he looked like he was dressed for running. Which was new because he was always dressed in business suits, no matter the time of day or night. "To what do I owe such an early morning visit?" I rubbed my eyes and smiled at him."My dear is past ten already, I got worried when you didn't turn up for breakfast and after my run, you still had not appeared. Feeling okay?" He had gone for a run? No wonder he didn't age."I'm fine, I must have overslept, too much wine last night." I lied, wine yes and something else had knocked me out completely."My fault entirely. You looked excited last night, I didn't want to dampen your mood but if I had known you would be like this…" he shrugged. "I wouldn't have let you near that bottle." He st
I have waited for you Chapter 39 Cleanse my Palette
_Neon The minute I arrived in London and located the store that sold my guns, it was clear as day to me what I had just walked into. The store was a front, with employees who had no clear answers as to who they worked for and merchandise with my name on it. It could only mean one thing and one thing only, there was a bigger operation behind the scenes that ran the show. I had seen a lot of them spot the work of a syndicate from a mile away. The minute I left the store, I knew that this was one assignment I could not walk into blindly with guns blazing. I needed to research who was behind the whole operation. I took a taxi to my penthouse. I hadn't driven anywhere in the last month. Besides the fact that my car had been beyond repair, I didn't want the attention of sitting in front of a salesman while he shuffled through my papers. I walked to places, and where I couldn't, I took a taxi, like a regular bloke.I made myself lunch and sat in front of my window looking down at the Lo
