Goodbye." Delphine told the both of them. She turned to Megan. "Let's go shopping sometime soon. I like your fashion choices, they fit me.""I'm glad you like it. I will be ready anytime you are." She promised.Megan sucked in a deep breath when Delphine unexpectedly hugged her tightly, Megan slowly hugged her back. She felt warm."Thank you, Megan. I have never seen my son look so happy for a long while now." She whispered in her ears. Delphine pulled back. "Take care of yourself. And Leo, make sure you also take care of Megan.""I will mother, you can leave now. Dad and Alfonso are waiting for you in the car."Delphine glanced at the car. "Don't mind them, they are supposed to wait for me. Let me leave you young people to your thing. Bye." She waved at them and Megan waved back. She walked to the car and entered into it.Delphine walked to the car and entered into the custom Maybach waiting at the front of Leo's mansion. The car started and they drove off. The sound of their car fad
"Megan?" Leo called. "Huh." She came out of her trance. "What is your answer?" He queried with curious eyes. "I like you too Leo. I really do. But what if we don't last? You know I had a messy breakup before we entered this deal. I don't want that to happen anymore, I don't think I can handle something like that again." She confessed with a low voice, she stared at her lap, unsure to meet his eyes. Would he mock her for what she said? "Look at me, Megan." He said and Megan looked at him. "We can make this work together only if we want to. It's only trivial emotions like doubt and fear that destroy things. I want to be with you for a long time, as long as this can go. I love having you here in my house, I love having you by my side. I don't know what I would do if I saw another man close or next to you. I want to be the man next to you. I only need your permission to do that. I won't force you to do something that you don't like, you can think about it but I won't wait for long."
"I had a terrible accident by the beach side when I was little." She began and took a deep breath. "I didn't die, but somebody else did." She continued. "Who is the person that died." "Esther was her name. She was my second best friend and the third friend in our group. I, Julie and Esther were all friends. We didn't let our social differences keep us apart, Esther was not from a wealthy family like me and Julie, but she wasn't poor either. It happened ten years ago on a fateful Sunday. It was raining like it was today, although the rain wasn't much. They were in my house that day, my father wasn't around so it was practically just us in the whole house. I was the one who brought the idea of all of us going to the beach that day since there won't be many people. They both refused, especially Esther. They said that the sea was dangerous to go to that day because of the announcement on the news." Her voice began to crack. "You don't have to tell me everything if you are not ready."
Leo parked the sleek silver sports car and turned the engine off. He came down from the car and opened her door for her, she took his outstretched hand and he helped her out of the car. Megan touched her bag with her free hand and she was reminded of the pregnancy test she had rushed to buy from a pharmacy when Leo parked to get something from a store.When she went back home she would use it, she would try and remove her mind from other things and focus on what they came out to do. She would make sure she enjoyed today, after all, Leo canceled his work just to spend this day with her, so she would be happy and focus on positive things first. The worry can come later.After much speculation, they decided to visit the British Museum first. Leo admitted that he was not a fan of art and historical artifacts so he might not be the best partner to go with. Megan did not care as long as he was with her, she was okay. She has always loved arts since she was young, it was also what made her
"Are you sure you would be able to ride it?" Leo asked while watching her. Their car was parked at a parking lot near the London Eye. It was already afternoon. "Of course, I might be afraid of water but I don't think I am afraid of heights." She said boldly."Alright, if you insist so much, let's go," Leo said.Megan came out of the car before he could open the door for her. Anticipation was making her giddy. She gripped Leo's hand when he started walking. They both approached the iconic Ferris wheel on the South Bank of the River Thames. The London Eye, one of the most recognizable landmarks in London, loomed before them, its massive, curved structure reaching high into the sky. It looked so magnificent.Leo purchased their tickets, and they both joined the queue, shuffling forward with the steady flow of visitors. Megan was filled with fluttering nerves, she was wondering how it would be. This was her first time entering something so high or even riding the London Eye, she couldn'
"What do you think, Leo? This is a restaurant and I came to eat, like you too." Her lips curled into a wide smile."I suggest you leave right now, you are interrupting my dinner with my fiancée." He emphasized the word fiancée and he was glaring at Ella Woods.The hostile interaction between them told Megan that they ended up on the wrong note and there was still bad blood between them.She looked at Megan. "That's right, your fiancée." Her voice sounded mocking then she turned to Leo. "Just wanted to say hi, for old time's sake. You don't have to be so touchy. See you later." She said then walked away from their table.When she left Megan was about to speak to Leo when he stood up from the table and called for the waiter to bring the bill which he paid for quickly. "You said you were done with your meal. Let's go." His face was cold and he did not look like the Leo who she was having fun with earlier that day.A dreading sense of déjà vu washed over her. This almost felt like the da
Everyone always talks about how their relationship is the best and how their partners treated them better than any other person would or how being in a relationship always makes them feel butterflies in their stomach. Unfortunately, the same can't be said for Megan Zendel, a twenty-five year old interior designer, who has been considered a remarkable beauty among her peers. With her long black hair, meadow green eyes, pointed nose, bow-shaped lips, and her five feet eight height together with her slim but well-shaped structure, she could easily pass as a runway model. Despite her beauty, it seems like her boyfriend _ Brandon Keller still doesn't give her the attention she wants. Megan didn't know what to feel again, he always gives excuses like this anytime they want to meet. Recently it has become worse, 'I am sorry I have a business dinner this evening I won't be able to make it.' 'I have to go on a business trip I would be very busy, don't call me.' 'I just got an important contra
Megan could not believe what was happening between her and this handsome strange man, he obviously knows she finds him attractive and is using it to taunt her. She does not know why she is behaving like this when she has a boyfriend maybe it is because Brandon is not paying much attention to her. "I can't believe I met Mr Valenti in person." Her secretary, Julie gushed sitting on the chair in her office after Mr Valenti left."Do you know him?" she asked and she mentally slapped herself for asking that type of question, of course, Julie literally knows every famous person on the internet, sometimes she even behaves like a stalker. "You mean, you do not know who he is?" Julie looked at her like she had gone mad."What?" Megan asked when she kept giving her that look. "You only told me that he was an important and influential person, you never really told me who he was, and stop looking at me like I am the dumbest person on earth. It's not like it is even that important" she said."Ts
