MegraI wake up to the sound of birds chirping outside my window, the early morning light streaming through the thin curtains. For a moment, I lie there, staring at the ceiling, trying to orient myself. The familiarity of the room is comforting, yet it's laced with bittersweet nostalgia. I'm back in Stockton, the town where I grew up, but everything has changed. I rest a hand on my belly, wishing I could feel the slight movements inside, a reminder of the new life I'm carrying. I take a deep breath, steeling myself for the day ahead. Starting fresh is never easy, but I'm determined to make it work.After getting dressed in comfortable jeans and a loose blouse, I step outside, locking the door behind me. I wish I could lock myself in and contemplate my defeat, but I brought nothing other than my clothes. The air is crisp, carrying the scent of pine and earth, instantly bringing back memories of my childhood.I take a deep breath, savouring the familiarity. I need to gather some essenti
Nathaniel.Sitting in my office, I stare at the contracts spread out on my desk, but my mind is elsewhere. The phone rings, jolting me from my thoughts. It's my lawyer. "Mr. Coven, I've tracked Megra back to her hometown," she says, her voice professional and steady."Is she there now?" I ask, leaning forward, my heart racing."Yes, she's back in Stockton. I'm waiting outside her house.""Good. Bring her back home," I say, the relief palpable in my voice. I hang up the phone, exhaling a breath I didn't realise I was holding. She's been found. Now, I just need to figure out how to apologise and how to make things right after my betrayal.Cheating on Megra was the biggest mistake of my life. Anna was a distraction, a momentary lapse in judgement, but it cost me everything. The guilt gnaws at me daily. I need to make Megra understand that it meant nothing and that she means everything to me. The thought of her carrying our child and being alone because of my actions is unbearable.Anna h
MegraA knock at the door interrupts my thoughts. I look over at Callum, confusion written across my face. I have only been back a day; surely I can't already be getting any guests. "Who could that be? I'm not expecting anyone."Callum shrugs. "I don't know; I haven’t told anyone you are back. I am sure a lot of people would love to see you. I can get it if you want."I shake my head, pushing myself up from the couch. "No, this is my house. I should probably get acquainted with the neighbours anyway."As I walk towards the door, an uneasy feeling settles in my stomach. I take a deep breath and reach for the handle, my heart pounding in my chest. When I open the door, I understand why. Nathaniel is standing there, flowers in his hands."Nathaniel? What are you doing here?" I ask, my voice barely above a whisper."We need to talk," he says, his tone firm as he pushes his way into the house, not waiting for an invitation. His eyes immediately land on Callum, and his expression darkens. "
I jump out of the taxi in a rush to get to my house. I can feel the butterflies in my stomach. I have never been so excited or happy. Today will be the beginning of my happily ever after, and I am ready.I had gotten a tip that Andrew would be proposing, and I want to make it special. It has been three years since he walked into my life. He was tall, with brown eyes, and accomplished. I could not believe it when he asked me to be his girlfriend. I run for the elevator as soon as I enter our building. I can't stop thinking about everything I need to get done.I could already picture him kneeling with a ring in his hands. It is going to be wonderful tonight.I hurriedly walk out of the elevator to our fifteenth-floor apartment. I open the door, and my heart drops. I can feel the blood draining from my face. My gaze is fixed on the clothes that are scattered all over the floor.This is not possible. Not on our anniversary. Today, Andrew was meant to pop the question and ask me to marry h
I run out of the building, tears still streaming down my face. I can still picture Andrew's cold reaction. I can still see him and Becca in my bed. I feel my heart pounding, fighting to escape my chest. I cannot think straight.I can feel a hand on my shoulder.“Miss megra?” “Are you okay?”I lift my face to see Matthew, the security guard, staring at me. Worry is written all over him.I look around, and people have surrounded me.The security guard stretches his hand to help me up. I must have been so distraught that I sat down on the curb."Can you call me a taxi, Matthew?" I ask, wiping away my tears. He shakes his head and brings me back to the lobby.The cab ride is silent, and I am left to my thoughts. How can I be so blind and naive? When Becca introduced me to Andrew, I wondered why the two had not gotten together. I always wondered why he chose me over her; she was undeniably gorgeous. I now have my answer. I was being played. I was the fool in this story. The amateur porn I
I wake up to the rich aroma of freshly roasted coffee, accompanied by a throbbing headache. Slowly opening my eyes, I find myself in an unfamiliar space. It takes me a moment to remember Andrew, and my heart shatters all over again. It feels like someone is driving a hand through my chest and ripping my heart through it. With the wreckage of my life now in full view, tears start rushing down my face. I can feel the pain throughout my body. I see Becca and Andrew wrapped in their passion every time I close my eyes.I reach for my bag. I needed to find out if Andrew had bothered to reach out. I need to know if he was sorry. If he knew how much he hurt me, maybe he wanted me back home. Nothing. He had not called me. I fix my eyes on the yellow pill bottle. The pain is too much. I could just end it—end my misery. No, that will let them win.Sliding back into the king-sized bed, I attempt to look for comfort in the sheets that are wrapped around my body. I wonder what else transpired the n
I am startled when Nathaniel walks into the bathroom. I had not realized he was already back. I had made myself comfortable, finding ways to relax. His gaze is intense, and honestly, I enjoy it. I watch as he approaches me. I can feel him devouring me with each glance. I invite him with a coy smile, showing him my evident desire.As Nathaniel stands before me, his actions feel deliberate. My heart is racing. I watch him slowly undress, unsure of what to expect next but eager to find out. The water envelopes us in warmth, heightening our sensual tension.Without a word, he pulls me in for a kiss, and I welcome it. Slowly, he caresses me, his other hand entangled in my hair, massaging my neck. My body responds eagerly, aching for more. He treats my breasts with reverence, as if they were delicate treasures. I let out a soft moan and jerk towards him. I feel bold. I take his hand and guide him down my waist, parting my legs to grant him access to my most intimate place.Nathaniel underst
Cradled by the softness of the high-threaded sheets and the release of tension from my body, I drift into deep slumber. Did I just have the best night of my life? The morning light floods the room, and as I stretch, my mind replays the events of the previous night. "You're up!" His voice cuts through the air as he emerges from the bathroom. "We need to talk." His tone is direct and devoid of emotion, and those words strike a chord of unease in me. I know what is coming. No harm, no foul, I remind myself. After all, we are both adults, and I am newly single.I walk towards him, sinking into a chair next to him. I can feel Nathaniel’s observant eyes watching me, sensing a shift in my demeanor."Last night was unexpected, but I hope you don’t think I took advantage of you.”"No, you dint. I told you I am a big girl. I knew what I was doing." I clarify.Nathaniel hands me some papers before clearing his throat, preparing to divulge more information. "Before you read that, you should know
