This feeling was strange. No man has ever had this much desire to protect her. Megan stared at Leo, her heart beating wildly in her chest. Who would have thought that the man she thought nothing would ever happen with would be the same person with a strong desire to protect her?"I'm sorry for treating you that way. I shouldn't have done that and I know I was wrong.""What way?" She asked even though she knew what he was talking about. She wanted him to emphasize what he was apologizing for."For mentioning the contract even though we are dating and for neglecting your feelings.""Is that all?" She queried."I'm sorry for not telling you about Ella. I had thought it would not be important and would be meaningless to talk about but I did not know it would have this much impact on our relationship.""So would you be able to tell me about her now?""I am sorry but I won't be able to open up to you right now. I will tell you everything when I am ready and when the time is right."At least
"Dad?" She called, Leo and Peter Zendel both turned to look at her. "What are you doing here?" She asked in disbelief. What was her father doing here? In Leo's house? Talking like they have known each other for a long time? Leo was by her side almost instantly. "Why did you not call me when you woke up.?You did not have to come down on your own, what if something has happened to you?" He chided.She turned to face him, her eyes sparking with fury. "What is my father doing here? Did you invite him?" "He did not invite me. I came here on my own." His deep voice rang through the whole room.Her head snapped to her father, he was still sitting down but his walking stick was in his hand."How did you know where I was, Dad?" "Do you think I wouldn't know about the whereabouts of my own daughter? I tried to give you the space you need but I can't do that anymore, especially when a bastard decided to lay his hand on my daughter." He said angrily.When did he find out about Brandon? "Did yo
"Take care of my daughter." Peter Zendel said then tapped Leo on his shoulder."I will take care of her, with my all."Her father nodded proudly. "Goodbye Megan." He said then entered his SUV. Megan watched as the car drove off, Leo's hand was around her shoulder."What did you and my dad talk about?" She asked hoping Leo would tell her."Nothing. Just some stuff that men talk about."She rolled her eyes. Why are they saying the same thing? "Whatever.""Julie brought the things you needed but she could not wait for you to wake up because she had something important to take care of.""Oh. I also heard the same thing from my father." She confirmed."She said she would visit you soon, or maybe tomorrow.""Okay."He led her into the house. "What do you think about Paris?""Paris? All of a sudden?" He nodded and she continued. "Paris is a nice place. Do you want to buy a hotel there?" She asked curiously.He stopped when they got to the living room. "No. I am talking about a trip. Would yo
She was holding up a transparent dress when Leo walked in, she quickly hid it but it was too late as he already noticed that she had hidden something."What's that?" He asked, looking at her suspiciously."Nothing." She quickly closed the box and stood up."I clearly saw you holding a piece of cloth, don't you want to bathe?""I want to but before that, I have a favour to ask from you.""Ask away.""Can you lend me some of your clothes?" She closed her eyes shut as she said it in a rush, she opened her eyes again when she noticed that he was not replying. His hands were folded across his chest and he was gazing at her with a wicked smile."Why should I?" "Huh?""Why should I lend you my clothes when you have yours?" He repeated.What was wrong with him today? She always wore his clothes before, without having to ask him but now he is questioning her. Maybe she should just have taken it without asking him. That would be better than asking him."It's an emergency." She stated. "What e
Megan decided to listen to Leo's words. She would have fun. The reality began to sink in. She was in Paris! Megan has always wanted to come to the iconic city since she was little but after her Mother died, she had felt empty and lost all the will to enjoy life.It felt surreal, they had arrived last night via Leo's private jet. She has recovered fully from the head injury and she felt like she could do anything but Leo and Julie have strictly made her not to do any work. It was frustrating. Leo still pampered her like a doll and she hated it. She was not a baby and could handle herself pretty fine. He hadn't even touched her intimately since that incident and she was starting to feel annoyed. Has he found her unattractive? Was he no longer interested in her body anymore? She kept thinking a lot of things but she never had the answer to any of them.Leo held her hand in his, their fingers interlocked. As they approached the historical museum in Paris, the grandeur of the historic muse
"I'm sorry, Leo." She said in a soft voice. "I did not mean to shout at you like that. Please forgive me." She rested her head on his broad back and her hands were on his chest. The water from the rainfall shower poured on her and Leo, drenching them."It's no problem. I wasn't angry at you.""You were. I could see it all over you.""I was angry at myself for not knowing that you were feeling that way. Does the accident remind you of Brandon? Is that why you were triggered whenever I mentioned it?""Yes. It reminded me of him sometimes. I wanted to bury those memories and cover them up with good ones. I don't want to remain in the past anymore. I want to build a future, with you." She confided.Leo turned around and faced her. He cupped her cheek and stroked it lightly, she closed her eyes and leaned into his touch."Are you sure of what you said?""I am sure. I want to make more memories with you, happy ones.""I am not perfect, Megan.""Neither am I. We would work it out, together."
Megan took a sip from her lemonade juice, the juice was perfect. They were dining at a restaurant near the Eiffel Tower. They had just finished their meal and were having small conversations while sipping their drinks. After that wonderful experience at the Eiffel Tower, they came down almost immediately because she could not stay in a very high building for that long. Frankly speaking, it wasn't that she could not enter high buildings, she just could not stay in some high buildings. After all, she lives in a penthouse but she loves her house so much and she loves the magnificent view from up there.The bell at the door of the restaurant rang, indicating that someone had entered the restaurant, Megan glanced at the door and a man in dark sunglasses, black cap and black clothes entered inside with a woman, the man looked like a celebrity from the way he dressed up.They both walked up to a table at the far end of the restaurant. The woman was wearing dark sunglasses and a scarf around
This was not normal, Megan thought as she clutched her chest in her company's restroom. She has been having strange symptoms of chest pains. Now, this one was very bad and it was painful, she felt that her heart was beating fast and she was gasping for air.She remembered what her father always told her whenever she had played a lot.'Take a deep breath. One, two. One, two.' That is what he always told her and she did not know why but she would do the same thing right now."One." She said then took a deep breath. "Two." She said then released the breath she was holding. She did the same thing for a few more minutes. Gradually, she felt herself calming down then it eventually stopped.She needed to visit the hospital and she needed to do it as quickly as possible. She needed to find out if the thing that was doing her was something very serious or if it was a mild one.A worker entered the restroom and she quickly adjusted herself before the female worker saw her."Good evening, miss Z
