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
He had been under the influence of the alcohol that it had clouded his mind that he did not think to react to all of Anna’s advancers until he gave in. He had been too angry to even think it was something he did not want to do and as he rolled in the bed and his hand touched a bare body and he froze as the events of last night filled his head and he sat up in bed causing Anna to stir awake.She smiled up at him as she leaned over gave him a kiss on the cheeks . He could not even move away.“Good morning, love.”Since when did Anna become sweet to him? He was even more baffled by the way she was looking at him with so much adoration in her eyes. The last time, she had stared at him with so much contempt that he was so scraped that he might have done something so bad.“Why are you here, Anna?”Anna ran a hand through her hair as she bounced on her bed lightly then but her bottom lip.“To make you feel better.”“You’re only going to make everything worse. Just go.”“Why are you treating
Things did not turn out the way she expected it and she was so furious that as she barged out of the building, she ignored the workers who greeted her as she went. Anyone could tell that they should avoid her from a distance.“Why is she talking out her anger in us?”“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 lots enough for her to hear though and she stopped right inner track angrily. She turned around and stomped towards them “What did you just say about me?”They looked between each other and shook their heads within saying anything. “Dis you not hear a word I said? 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 as they began to plead with her but even if she wanted to make them stay, she already said the words and would not even think of taking them back.However, have was glad to
Megan 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 remember how
A week later “After the evidence was brought to the court today, I shall now give my verdict”. The judge mentioned in a stern voice. Elizabeth, who was handcuffed, hoped that the decision was to her favour.Her father had promised to help her out of this situation together with officer gabby. But why was her father sitting so far away with a sad facial expression. His forehead was filled with wrinkles, and she sometimes caught a glimpse of him smacking his lips in dejection.Megan was at the front of the court together with Alex. They held each other closely like they were the only one who existed in the courtroom.“Is this some sort of love room?” Elizabeth scoffed loudly, looking at them with a gaze that seemed to cut through the tension-filled air.“After several in depth investigations. We came to a conclusion that”… but before the judge could continue Elizabeth interrupted.“Before you say anything, your honour. I would like to plead. I didn't commit any of this crime. I am bein
“You will regret not following my orders Alex”. She stood up abruptly. The tears that were in her eyes had completely disappeared.She carried her bag and walked out. If there was one thing she had learned from her mother Evelyn was that. If you fail to plan then you plan to fail. In that case what she meant is that, there is always a plan B, plan c and even a plan D.As she walked down the corridor. You can see the rage in her eyes. “You think I am a fool Alex”.“Let's see what you will do when I destroy Megan”. She picked up her phone dialling a number. Caller ID reads Hailey.In a few seconds she picked up. “Hello”. Hailey's voice resounded.“Have you gotten it yet?” She asked with desperation and bitterness all over her voice.“Umm! Not yet but I will get it before you blink”. Hailey tried to sound impressive.“Don't play those games with me, Hailey”. Brittany seethed in irritation. She would never roll with a low life like Hailey if it wasn't for the fact that she needed her help
