Anthony Pov
"He wasn't here, this was planted here for use to believe he is on foot... Spread out and searched the area," I ordered
"Not you Jace... Stay behind... I have a special job for you"
I took a deep breath before approaching the house, I have been gone since last night now it is 6 in the morning, and I know Megan, I just knew she has many questions,
I opened the door to the house and realize it was oddly quiet, too quiet, I pulled my gun that was neatly tucked under my shirt, I tiptoed carefully listening for any voices, any sounds, anything that doesn't belong
Ruff! Ruff!
"Shut up, you’re trying to get us killed,” I whispered at the puppy
I opened the door to the room I left Meg, last night, and there she was, peacefully sleeping.
I chuckled under my breath, remembering the events of last night, that was the best I've had in years, I ne
Megan POVthereon Anthony told me that we are going back to Florida, a feeling of anxiousness washed over me, my fairytale chapter was coming to an end and I will go back a face reality, I wondered what will it be like when we get back, I will certainly get dirty glances from the other workers, and Higgins, oh my, she will probably want to fight, I am not about the aggression, but I'll surely knock a bitch out, I hope the Anthony I've grown to love is the same after we are back to our normal lives.I completed my chores around the house, and was ready to go get groceries to start dinner, outside was a tall, muscular, brunette man standing by a BMW,"Good day madam, I will be your chauffeur today, I'm Sam"I smiled and shook his hand, "Um— okay I'm Megan, and we better get going"Sam opened the BMW door for me, "Thank you, ” I uttered.The car began to slow down at the grocery store Anth
Megan POVLaid there crying all night hoping Anthony would return, but he never did, it was 7 AM my eyes were swollen, bleeding red, because I couldn't sleep, today was the day we were supposed to return to Florida, and he hasn't show…Knock, knock, some one tapped lightly on the bed room door,I gulped down the anxiousness in my throat, "Come in" "Um...I rather not mam", Patrick said on the other side of the door, "Ugh ok, what is it?", I asked, disappointed that it was just Patrick and not Anthony."Mr. Rhone told me to inform you that you should be ready by nine, then I will drive you to the jet, when you arrive in Florida, you should take the weekend off, since it's already Friday and it's a twelve hour flight, you can return to work Monday morning" I guess he meant it when he told me leave last night, and I also reckoned that he won’t be traveling with me
Anthony POVI sat in my office, carefully watching video clips of the nearby cameras from buildings near the base, I managed to scare Shane enough for him to tell me everything he knows about Darb, he told me Darb was assisted by a dark-haired, hazelnut eyes woman, who scared him to death with her calm but a nonchalant voice, but none of the security footages showed a clear view of her face, ugh! Oh, dad, I wish you'd just come back and take back your mafia business, I suck at this, I looked at my watch and wondered where the hell was with Meg...My thoughts were interrupted with someone knocking on the door, "Come in,” I whispered, the words came out brittle and dry,And there she was, Megan. Dressed in a nude dress that clings to her body like a second skin, and for the first time I saw her in makeup, a full face of makeup, is this the same woman I told my self I wouldn't date because she was simple, Wow....she is
Megan POV"Move in with you, you mean to live...together, me and you? No, I rather chance it and die,” and I meant it, I love this fool and obviously I was angry back in Paris now he wants us to be friends but also liv, ng together, Hell no."Megan stop being so hard-headed, Its just for two weeks, please, I can protect you if you’re close to me,” he stared into my eyes,“ Protect me? Like you did in Paris?”“France—” Anthony smirked“That’s my line, ok… only under one condition—""Yes… I know, you'll get upstairs for yourself and I'll take downstairs deal? " he added"Deal,” I uttered.After work, our drivers took us separately to Anthony's house, both cars were behind each other, not leaving each other.Arriving at the house, a memory started the drag along slowly, hey I know here, this is the place, this was where the engagement party was held, i
It was the morning of the press conference, cautiously Anthony removed his hand from around Megan's waist, he sat at the edge of the bed, staring back at her beauty, she was indeed a beautiful woman, no wonder she reminds him of lilies."How can I give her up, because of the public, or even worse... Higgins, I rather protect her with every drop of strength in my body than give her up", he thought to himself.But he knew it was the only choice to let her live free, go back to her normal life, to become a nobody again, she wasn't ready for this kind of life, of course, they probably will still hook up now and then until it eventually fades, right?.Megan POV Searching the bed for Anthony who should have been next to me, but instead I found a space, I yawned and stretched but still laying there, today is the day, today is the day I'll have to let go of Anthony because of some stupid image he has to keep up with and of course
Anthony PovThe elevator ride was quiet, deep in my thoughts as I tried to convince myself it was the only way. I felt my heart tore apart when Megan left me there, I took a deep breath, before entering the boardroom. Oh boy! Here we go...Media houses, social media sites reporters, journalists, business day reporters, just naming a few but they were all here.Megan was already standing at the podium, positioning the mic down to her mouth, I went ahead and quickly sat behind, along with my bodyguards and my lawyers, "Good afternoon everyone, firstly let me introduce myself, my name is Megan Francis, many might already know me, but finally we are all gathered here today to find out the truth, Mr. Rhone and I aren't romantically invl..." "Stop!", I found my self-standing, I can't let this happen, I will lose her, I love this woman and I won't allow it to happen, "stop Megan", "RHONE...
Megan POVAnthony was acting strangely after the press conference, Henry brought me home since we couldn't find Mr. Blake, nor any belongings for him, I don't know who has been driving me around these last couple of days but I knew I wasn't crazy since Jace confirm it wasn't him.My phone kept blowing up with notifications, Anthony and I were plastered all over social media, most congratulated us, while a few bashed me, I wanted to break the news to my parents, but thanks to social media they already knew, my mom called, and Natalie called, media journalists kept trying to get solo interviews with me, my Instagram page went from 1000 followers to 1M, I even got a blue verification badge, wow I was some sort of celebrity, now I understood what Anthony meant.I laid in bed flat on my back, replaying the events of today in my head, I looked at my ring, I still couldn't believe I was engaged, I smiled to my self, and held my
Anthony POVA few days after Megan was discharged from the hospital, she decided to stay at her apartment, and I have avoided her ever since, I found it rather strange but maybe she is still dealing with shock. So I am not so worried since Natalie will be staying with her now and then.Known to many now, Higgins was my ex-lover, they tried to get me to do interviews on her death, but I declined. Who could want to hurt Higgins?? I mean she was crazy I must agree, but who kills women and children...especially. Coming from a mafia that's pretty heartless and cold. I sat in my office and stared at now an empty spot where Higgins would have been if she wasn't terminated, and sudden guilt washed over me, maybe I shouldn't have fired her, maybe she got involved with the wrong crowd but she couldn't possibly need money. Megan doesn't know but Higgins also message me, stating that she wants three million dollars to leave Megan and me alone, But h
