Megan’s POV His eyes widened, and his brow furrowed. He was quiet for a few moments before finally saying, “Megan, you still don’t understand me.” Now it was my turn to widen my eyes. I stared into his eyes without blinking. My mind was working extra hard to digest what he had just said. “W-what do you mean? What don’t I understand? I did everything you asked. One thing you should know, I’ve never been this obedient to anyone but you. Ethan, my future fiancé, obeys me. So now tell me what I don’t understand?” However, before Zac could answer, there was a knock on the door. “Come in,” Zac replied as he put his cigarette into the ashtray. As the door opened, two of his men entered. I only recognized one of them. He was a big man who usually stood at the door of the bar. Zac’s bar wasn’t just any bar. It was a place where all transactions took place, such as prostitution, gambling, buying and selling drugs, and life and death transactions. Zac’s world is a bottomless black wor
Megan’s POVI wanted to know about that guy who was talking to my mom. And seemed like that guy knows a lot about me. I didn’t want to delay any longer. I pushed the doorknob down and pushed the door inward. And surprise! It turned out that the guy standing in front of my mom was Freddy. They were hugging. Incredible. “Mom, what are you doing? What the hell?” I asked in a high-pitched voice. I must admit I was angry and couldn’t hold my temper anymore. I threw my handbag on the sofa and stood up with my arms folded across my chest as I stared at the two of them. Freddy and Mom’s eyes widened, and they misbehaved. Freddy hurriedly let go of his hug to Mom and Mom walked away and sat in her chair. Mom immediately pretended to open one document on the table. Without looking at me, she asked. “What brings you here? It’s late at night. Did you come here to pick me up?”I laughed widely and found their behavior and words funny. I turned around and sat on the sofa while staring intently a
Megan’s POVHelen walked into the room with her two assistants. She sat in the middle, while her two assistants stood behind her.Helen looked at the three of us, then she said, “Please, sit down.”We all sat down. I sat on Helen’s left side, while Mom sat on Helen’s right side. Freddy sat in front of Helen.Freddy lowered his head to stare at the floor, his fingers moving restlessly. Meanwhile, Mom’s eyes kept on Freddy. It looked like Mom loves Freddy so much.My heart was beating quite fast. I hope Grandma didn’t hear what I said earlier. If she did, it would be the end of my life.“What’s wrong, Mom?” my mom Erin asked Helen.Helen adjusted her glasses and cleared her throat. “It’s about our family. But wait a minute until one more person comes.”“Another person? Who is she, Grandma?” I asked curiously.Helen turned her head and smiled. Honestly, I found her smile mysterious.“Your dad,” Helen replied. She was still smiling, showing her rows of white teeth.What’s going on, and wha
Megan’s POV“It doesn’t matter to me if you aren’t signing the divorce papers. You still have to leave my mother’s house and I have no more obligations towards you. Although legally we are still husband and wife, in reality, we are two strangers living separately. Besides, wouldn’t it be better for you to divorce me and unite with your lover? You should feel sorry for him, who is not married and remains faithful to you,” John said with a sly smile. I had never seen such a frightening look on John’s face. Jealousy and anger filled him. Then, what was the meaning of their thirty-year marriage? Did it all mean nothing anymore? From this case, it seemed like I should have told Ethan the truth before we got engaged so that something like this wouldn’t happen to me in the future. There was nothing I could hope for anymore. Mom and I had to leave their lives. Hearing Mom continue to defend herself and laugh like a woman with depression, I couldn’t take it anymore. I stood up and walked to
Piper’s POV“B-but why did you buy this bus? We don’t use the bus often,” I asked, still trying to assuage my inner shock. “Turn around,” he whispered in my ear. I turned around and looked into his beautiful blue eyes. “This bus must be very expensive. Wouldn’t it be better to rent it instead of buying it?”Jay placed his index and middle finger on my lips. “It’s not too expensive. You don’t have to worry. I can use this bus for office events, anyway. Trust me, I’ve calculated everything. Now sit nicely in the back seat with the twins.”“Lily, help Madam sit down,” Jay pleaded with Lily. “I can walk and sit by myself. I don’t need anyone else’s help,” I retorted, pretending to frown. “Obey me,” he retorted. Lily immediately held out her hand, and I reached her hand and walked with her to the chair at the back. Mom and Vanessa sat together in front of the twins’ seats. Lisa sat next to Jordan. Ken sat next to Lily. Nick sat next to Max. Austin, sat alone. I finally arrived at th
Megan’s POV “Zac,” I called to the man who was kissing a young girl. The young girl who was on his lap immediately turned her head and looked at me in confusion. She was probably wondering who I was and what my relationship with Zac was. “Go away,” Zac ordered her. Before leaving, she buttoned up her shirt and straightened her hair, which was a little messy. After she left the room, I quickly closed the door. When I turned around, I saw Zac lighting his cigarette. “Young girl again? Are you hypersex?” I asked, a little jealous. “She’s the girl who just came in this morning. That’s the rule. I don’t want to talk about it. What’s going on?” Zac asked, puffing cigarette smoke into the air. Ah, he was so sexy. “I want to ask something from you,” I said as I walked toward him and sat on his lap. I caressed his chest that was not covered by a single thread, and then my tongue traced his neck and ended up on his lips. I gave him a brief kiss as I pulled his hand to land on my breast.
Piper’s POVAfter their car disappeared, I hurried inside to rest. My stomach felt a little sore since waking up. I sat on the back porch while observing the flowers that had just bloomed. The servants had watered all the plants on the back terrace since the sun had just risen. The morning air was refreshing, and it was even more beautiful to enjoy the beauty of the morning with a cup of tea and a few pieces of cake. My life was beautiful, and I wanted nothing more. My family was my gem. That was my motto. I was strong because of them and my greatest happiness was seeing them happy. I sat back against the back of the sofa, letting the morning sunlight shine on my body. I thought I’d rest for a while before going out with Lisa to shop for baby items. Megan’s POVThat was the day your suffering will begin, Piper and Jay. You will cry and suffer without knowing what to do. My dreams were shattered because of you, Piper. You took everything away from me even though I realized Helen’s
Jansen’s POVNo, no, no! We were kidnapped. Kelly is an imposter. She must be from a kidnap syndicate. I had to find a way and calm Jessie down because I wanted nothing bad to happen to her.But what was I supposed to do?As soon as the car door was locked, the woman dressed and made up like Vanessa turned around and smiled widely. My eyes immediately widened and my heart skipped a beat. I spontaneously turned around and saw the same expression on Jessie’s face.Jessie grasped my hand. I knew what she was thinking. We were thinking the same thing.At that moment, the car immediately sped up and took us away from the convenience store. And I saw the car driven by Ken coming. He must not have seen us in the kidnapper’s car.Kelly wasn’t in this car. When I looked back, I saw Kelly getting into an unfamiliar car. They had planned all this carefully. When Ken couldn’t find us, that’s when he must have realized that something was wrong with us.God, please protect us.When I turned to look
