The next dayMegan banged lots and hard on the closed door without any response. She wasn’t sure someone was even inside but she was certain this was the right address and the occupant had all the reasons in the world to not answer her but she was relentless.After the incident at the party, Stephanie has moved out of Enzo’s house and since then, she has been looking all over for her until she found out from a source where she lives now. She did not go to the office nor did she attend any of the meetings she was supposed to attend. Megan worried that Stephanie would hurt herself and that was why it was important that she found her.She heard the sound of movement far in the room, it was obvious that the person inside did not intend to open the door but she would keep trying.“Steph, I will not leave here until you open so it’s better you do that now, so that we can get this over with.”There was no response. She listened for a while and knocked again.“Looks like it will rain. Do you
Evelyn was angry as she paced the room. The door of her office was thrown open by a sad looking Brittany who stormed into the room.What now? She thought there were a lot of things going on with her right now and a child’s tantrum is not really something she wanted to deal with at the moment.“What is going on?”“Mum, I can’t stand Alex anymore. He disregards me every chance he gets and it is quite sickening.”“What has he done this time?”“I really don’t know how to explain it but I just...”“Actually, there may not be time to care about Alex or whatever he is up to because we have more pressing issues at hand right now.”“Like what? What could be more important than how your only daughter feels in her marriage?”“We are still trying to find your father just in case you forgot. Have you heard any words from the investigator?”Brittany calmed down immediately. This really is more important than her useless whining so she sat down and shook her head.Their father has been lying unconsc
Megan walked away angrily. Things didn't turn out the way she expected and she was so furious that she barged out of the building, she ignored everyone including the workers who greeted her as she went. Anyone could tell from a distance that she wasn't in a very good mood.“Why can't she answer us? We are not responsible for her problems now, are we?” some of the workers murmured.“You haven’t heard, her husband does not treat her well and it has turned her into a cranky old hag.”Two slender girls who had just walked past her whispered loud enough for her to hear, making her stop her steps.She turned around and stomped towards them “What did I hear you just say about me?”They looked between each other and shook their heads without saying anything. “Didn't you guys have so much courage earlier ? Say it again to my face!”They did not say anything still and this annoyed her more.“You are both fired!”The girls looked shocked.“We are so sorry ma'am, it's a slip of the tongue”. The
“Are you joking right now?” Hailey finally got her courage to speak She grabbed Brittany by the arm and pulled her backwards. Who did she think she was? Brittany snapped her arm back from her assailant and gave her a very angry look. “Do I look like someone who is joking? I mean what I said and I will not take it back.”She walked away from Hailey who was looking at her with a shocked expression. When she reached home, it was late at night and she saw that all the lights were on. Alex must be around. That is quite unusual for him to be around at this time.She walked in with no expectations and when she reached the living room, she saw Alex sprawled over a couch. He reeked of alcohol. He was uttering some inaudible words and then began to roll off the couch. Brittany rushed forward to help him but then both found themselves on the floor. She wanted to smile but she saw how intently he was looking at her.“Megan.”What the fuck? She was angry again but she could not deny that it f
But still Brittany wasn't ready to give up so she ran after him “You are not her,” Alex said with a furious expression while shaking his head as if he had committed an abomination.Brittany tried to move closer to him but his response made her pause in her track, “ Get away from me,” he slurred, making her shiver lightly.Brittany looked very scared but she wasn’t the type to give up easily. “ But you said you loved me earlier, you even said you were willing to spend the rest of your life with me if I agree, didn’t you?” She feigned her facial expression to that of hurt and pain but it didn’t work on Alex a bit.“ I DON’T LOVE YOU,” he retorted with emphasis, disgust clouding his face. Brittany shrieked back at his tone and her hand that was about to touch Alex dropped. Why did he have to be so blunt about everything as if he didn’t care about her feelings at all. She was human too and she felt pain every time she got hurt.“The only person I will ever love is Megan, get that clear,”
Megan leaned back in her office chair, eyes fixed on the ceiling as she let out a deep sigh. The past few days had been a rollercoaster, but she finally felt a sense of peace wash over her. Just as she began to relax, her door burst open and Loyd strode in, his face etched with worry.“Megan, I need your help,” he said, his voice laced with desperation.Megan raised an eyebrow, intrigued. “What’s going on, Loyd? You look like the world is ending.”Loyd paced around the room, his hands running through his hair. “I think I’m finally ready to settle down. I want to propose to Maliya, but I’m scared she’ll say no.”Megan’s eyes widened in surprise. “Loyd, you’ve been stringing Maliya along for months. What makes you think she’ll accept your proposal now?”Loyd stopped pacing and turned to face her, his eyes filled with a mix of fear and hope. “I know I haven’t been the best boyfriend, but I can’t imagine my life without her. I can’t bear the thought of her being with someone else, and I c
“But there is a problem. Loyd said with a saddened face. I did something stupid”.Megan was surprised at his words. But when Loyd says he did something stupid then it must be something very stupid.“What did you do?”.“I… I kissed Anna and Maliya caught us”. “What”! Megan exclaimed.“No, I mean Anna wanted to see me. She said she wanted to apologise for her wrong doings. At first I ignored her but then again I figured it wasn't right so I agreed to see her. I didn't expect her to kiss me and I also didn't expect Maliya to appear out of nowhere”.“That is some fucked up shit,” Megan commented, putting her hands over her face.“I’m sorry, I can’t lie any longer that I feel nothing for Anna,” Loyd replied, looking away from the impromptu counsellor he had hired.“So, you feel something for her?”“Can I choose not to answer that question? You’re here to help me out and not to question my choices ma’am,” he said with his arms crossed, still looking in the other direction.“Maliya had been
Loyd has never been this angry in his life. How could she betray him like this after everything he has done to show her that she was the one he wanted to be with. His heart was beating fast as if he had ran a marathon.He approached them gingerly and reached for the man who did not even seem to be aware if what kind of problem he had landed himself in until Loyd threw the first punch and before he could react, a dozen more landed on him. Even the piercing scream of Makita did not stop him because he was away beyond this world at the point that he was in and the last thing he wanted to hear right now was someone telling him to stop.He could not believe Maliya could betray him like this. It made him wonder if he has failed to make his intention know to her or maybe he has come on too strong or maybe there was even a mistake somewhere that he had not known about. His heart had shattered to a thousand pieces seeing her like that with another man. He had been very understanding and given
