It had been eight hours in the same room without talking to each other. Megan thought it was over now. How could I have forgotten to lock the door? She was now afraid of losing everything she had worked for for the last two years. How could she explain that invasion earlier by Luke? Why didn't he call? She looked at the man lying next to her, how will she explain who Luke was? She remembered how two years ago things had changed between them when his mother rejected her without giving her any chance to prove herself and her love for Luke. Things had turned bitter forcing her to move to another city where she knew no one and had nothing to call her own. She had wondered along the streets and in companies in search for a job and a place to live until she met Jason Wynne, the CEO of STARWOOD TELECOMMUNICATIONS. Jason who listened to her story was compassionate and kind and offered her a job and accommodation. He also gave her some money to help her get settled. A year later he fell in l

Tears blurred her vision as waves of anguish washed over her almost drowning her in despair. She remembered how Jason had helped her and how her life turned for better when she met him. She also thought of how Luke had treated her when they dated and how he had loved her. He was her first love, how could she forget that. Her heart ached.  She thought of running after Jason but her knees gave way and she fell on the floor and covered her face in distress and sorrow. She wasn't sure what Jason will do next. She was afraid of losing her job and going back to the streets, yet she wanted to have Luke too for herself. In a moment she became more interested in securing her future than she was on what was best for her.  Moments later she stood up and wiped her tears. She had found a solution to her problem. What if she went back and pleaded for forgiveness from Luke? She could have both love and a secured future. She thought of the life sh

" Megan, meet Anne, my wife. She will be moving in soon after we have made everything official. Anne, this is Megan." He took his time to observe Megan's face. Her face turned pale, she turned and stared at him with a painful expression. " What do you mean, your wife? How could you?" She turned to Anne and with an angry voice shouted " you little bitch..." She was going for her hair when Luke intervened. Anne was in shock with the woman's accusations and she opened her mouth to protest but words failed her.  Luke became angry by Megan's behavior, " I will see you another day Megan, you are upsetting Anne..." " Upsetting her?" She could not hold her anger any longer. She turned towards Anne, " what about her, isn't she upsetting me? Luke grasped her elbow and escorted her outside. He shut the door and walked a few steps out of earshot before releasing her elbow.  "Megan, two years ago when we broke up, I searched for you every

All the way no one talked or even glanced at the other. It was dead silent, everyone in their own thoughts. Anne was confused by her own feelings. She was afraid of the decision she had taken yet there was no turning back. A year now seemed like ten. She wondered what kind of man Luke was. One moment he would seem to be full of compassion and the next he was serious and grumpy. Today he didn't seem to have any feelings. He was just there, no expression, just there. "Who are you really?" She let her thoughts wonder.    "Well, I'm Luke Maxwell to start with" Anne turned to him surprised, did she just say that loud? As if answering her, Luke turned and said "don't think too much, it's not like it's a real marriage."   She fell silent not knowing what to say. The awkwardness tormented her. She was relieved few minutes later when the car stopped in front of Luke's apartment. He carried her suitcase inside as she followed him

Morning birds were happily chirping, it was a bright morning and the sun was already up. Luke opened his eyes lazily and drugged his body out of bed. He felt happy looking at Megan sleeping innocently on the bed. He recalled the night and how they had made love countless times until late in the night. He thought of how passionate the night was and he couldn't help but smile. It had been two days now since Megan showed up in his office. That same day they had reconciled and poured their heart out to each other. He had not been back in his apartment. He needed to go back now and settle things with Anne. He had asked his sister to go back home saying he had gone on a business trip and sent his driver to take her but she had refused saying that her sister-in-law will be lonely in that big apartment. He couldn't win arguments with her and instead, he had called Anne and had asked her to take care of Luna and promised to compensate her. Now he needed to get back to his apartment and at lea
