"What the fuck!" She screamed out. Brandon was sitting on her couch. She held her chest, he scared the shit out of her. He looked so relaxed like it was his house. How the hell did he get in and what was he here for? He did not bother calling her or texting her, now he is in her house. To do what? She thought he was a robber or a stalker with his all-black outfit. "Where have you been Megan?" Megan blinked repeatedly. Was she dreaming? Or has Brandon simply run mad? "You really have the balls to come to my house. How did you even get in?" Then she remembered she had told him her password before. "Were you with that man I saw at the restaurant?" He scanned her body to her face looking disgusted. "Did you sleep with him? You are still wearing the same clothes from yesterday and your hair is messy." "Are you sick in the brain? You must be mad from what I am seeing. After cheating on me, you are asking me if I slept with a man when you made a girl pregnant while dating me for what
As soon as the door banged shut, she exhaled deeply. Megan did not know what had come over her. The rubbish he was spilling and the pain from his betrayal was what also fuelled her anger. She did not realize she could be like that or defend herself like that.She walked to the house telephone on her dining wall and dialed the security number for the building she was living in. In a few minutes, they had changed the password to her house. She flopped on her bed, exhausted from the activities that took place that day. She had changed into a more comfortable cloth. Her phone rang and she stared at the caller. It was Julie. She picked it up."Hey, Megan. Hope you arrived safely?" Her cheery voice sounded over the phone. "Yeah, I did. You made sure of that. Are you back yet?" Julie chuckled. "That's true. I just got back from the grocery store."Megan went silent for a while, she was debating if she should tell Julie. "What's wrong," Julie asked as if sensing her hesitation."Brandon wa
Animated conversations and laughter filled the air as Megan stepped into the ballroom of Leonardo's house where the housewarming party was held. The place was bathed in golden warm light. The guests here wore casual clothes, nothing too grand since it was just a small party. The dress code was casual. Megan wore a short green one-shoulder dress with a pleated tulle skirt which stopped above her knee, she paired it with a vintage strappy white sandal heel. It was simple and not noticeable, her makeup was light too. Her father who was at her side wore casual clothes. She spotted the large sculpture that broke before which was now repaired. It stood elegantly in the center of the ballroom. It was a beautiful and unique sculpture and it made the room seem more grand. She thought if she returned it to Georgiou Alexpoulos for repair he would send it back angrily. Luckily that was not the case, instead, he repaired and added more designs to it and sent it back within two days! That was rare
Leonardo was upstairs watching the party from behind a glass. No one could see him from downstairs but from where he was, he had a clear view of what was happening below. He was waiting for Megan to arrive, after all, he had hosted this party just to see her again. He needed an excuse and this was the perfect one. He knew she would reject any offer of seeing her personally, especially with what happened at the restaurant that day. If she did not come then he won't bother going downstairs and the party would be over.He saw a lady in a green dress step inside the room. There she was! She was coming in with a middle-aged man with a walking stick, he recognized the man as Peter Zendel, her father. The dress was so beautiful on her, as if it was made for her and it was almost the same color as her eyes. Her silky black hair fell to her waist. She looked so ethereal. Her eyes were on something and he traced it to the sculpture at the centre of the room. He remembered it, he had to threate
Megan kept staring at the black and golden business card on her office table. She had wanted to throw it away but could not bring herself to. The door to her office opened and she quickly hid the card. Julie stepped into the office and looked at her suspiciously. "What was that?" She asked looking at her clutched hand where she held the business card."What do you mean?" She asked innocently."You are hiding something in your hand aren't you?" Her eyes narrowed."What could I be possibly hiding? Anyways I am ready so let's go." She put the card in her bag quickly when Julie wasn't looking.She and Julie had wanted to do a weekend shopping, today was the perfect day after a week of working. It was Friday evening and they were at a high-end department store. "Check this one out. It would fit you perfectly well." Julie was holding a silver glittery extremely short dress that was backless. "Julie! How do you possibly expect me to wear that?" "What is wrong with it? You need to have fu
Megan entered her house, she dropped her shopping bags on the floor carelessly. She went straight to her room and her phone was on her bed as she was about to pick it up, a call came in and it was Julie. Why was she calling her now? Nevertheless, she picked it up."Megan, what the hell happened when I left? You are all over the internet!"She frowned in confusion. "What do you mean?""I sent you the video. You should watch it yourself. I will call you back later, I am with my mother.""Ok." Then she cut the call. Megan unlocked her phone and she saw a lot of missed calls. Six from her father, ten from Julie, and two from her father's lawyer. She opened the message that Julie sent her and clicked on the video. It was the video of what happened in the department store! It also included when Alexa slapped her. Her hand flew over her mouth. How did it reach the internet so fast? She quickly went online and she was trending. Some labeled her as a slut while some called her a relationship b
He directed her to a table set for two. She sat down and he sat opposite her. He brought out the contract he prepared and handed her her copy. Her lawyer arrived and they both went through it and it was perfect, exactly how she wanted it. The contract had three conditions. The first condition is that; They are to pretend to be a real couple in the public eye. The second one is that; They are not to meddle in each other's life except if it is related to their fake relationship. The last one is that; they must not fall in love with each other. She studied it thoroughly together with the NDA. The contract conditions were exactly what she needed. The duration of the contract is one year. After both of their lawyers confirmed there was no risk, they both signed the contract and the NDA provided by Leonardo. He put his own copies into a briefcase and she put her own into her clutch bag, her lawyer took his own copy. She had a light private dinner with him. He informed her that they must sh
Prior to the release of her and Leonardo's relationship status, she phoned her father about it. She did not tell him about the contract or how it was for only the public eye. However, she told her father the same story that Leonardo's PR team told her. Surprisingly, he believed her. He was happy that she had left Brandon a long time ago. He also wanted to meet with Leo personally.The media took the news better than she had expected and the hatred turned to Alexa Riley instead. People called Alexa a liar and an attention seeker. She lost a lot of followers on all her social media accounts and paparazzi were now camping at her doorstep. The picture that she and Leo had taken the night before, was released to the media, including the kiss and people gushed about how good they looked together. Now they were officially an engaged couple. At least for the public eyes only. Her doorbell rang and she went to check who it was and it was Julie. Immediately she opened the door, Julie stormed
