Anthony POV
I chuckled low as Megan stormed out angrily but still didn't have the guts to even slam the door, I sat in my leather chair mesmerizing about Francis, I leaned back, lost deep in my thoughts, yum... the way her ass jiggles slightly in her knee-length skirt, the sight of her tiny breasts perking up, calling for me, I can't forget that night I kissed her, to be honest with my self I wasn't even drunk, I had like one glass of champagne, but something about her, her warm-toned skin, the way she drank that champagne, with her thick, plumed lips, I've never seen a dark skin girl with such piercing grey eyes, contacts maybe? But something about her that night, the way she crossed her legs and the slit from the dress, went as far up to her thighs, something was pulling me towards this girl.
And let's be clear, I am not a jerk or a bad boyfriend, but I knew Stevie was after my money and the saddest part of it, I loved her, I still do. We were arguing the night of the engagement party, a large sum of money went missing from the account that only we had access to, and she lied, she stood right there and lied to my face, I was stuck between denial and love, we were only dating for 6 months and I think I kind of rushed things, I hired a PI who kept tabs on her, and would meet up with this guy at a motel every weekend, angrily I went downstairs that night and approached the young woman I saw at the bar, why was my house so fucking crowded?, like it was a club or something, I told Stevie that only family and close friends should be invited, and of course she went overboard, I tore through the crowd and began to have a conversation with the young lady, I found her interesting, I watched her hopelessly flirt with me, I found it cute and funny and out of nowhere... I just kissed her, I don't even know why, probably was looking for a quick fuck, or a distraction.
I chuckled under my breath as I remembered that night vividly, and of course, Stevie saw us and it crashed, I apologize so many times that night, sent her flowers daily, Gucci bags, Louis Vuitton purses, and even though I knew she cheated on me repeatedly I still couldn't let her go, and one kiss and boom! She dumped me, I miss her sometimes, but after couple therapy sessions, I began to feel okay, fucked a new bitch almost every night since, especially my P. As, they were immediately terminated right after though, can't mix business with pleasure now can we, plus Sashane Higgins was a plus, my receptionist I like Higgins, she has done so much for G.L.O.S.H. but she can out do her self at times, she would just pop up in my office if we worked late shifts, and let me take her there and then on my desk, she always tells me she wants to feel loved, and I should make love to her, I usually ignore her because all I need is fun, I'm usually a one-night stand kind of person, I don't do love, but I'll keep her around though, that mouth of hers sure is a bonus too, speaking of mouths, where the fuck is that smart ass mouth girl with my coffee am already running late by ten minutes and— the doors suddenly swung open and there she was, holding the coffee carefully bringing it towards the table, setting it down,
“Here's your coffee Mr. Rhone, I couldn't find the coffee maker, and sir it just a couple of months since you kissed me, it's not a year as yet, I know we got off on the wrong foo—” cutting off her constant chatter,
“Francis what did Miss Higgins tell you about knocking before entering my office?” she stood there out of words, stuttering
“I— I'm sorry sir, it won't hap...”
“Step back outside and keep knocking until I tell you to come in, I don't like indiscipline people Francis, you either play by my rules or simply just leave,” she uttered something her breath, which I could have careless about and turned walking right back through the door, closed it, and kept knocking and repeating if she may come in, hearing Sashane outrageous laughs, I smiled, ignored Francis and sipped my coffee, immediately regretting it,
“FRANCIS GET IN HERE!” she rushed through the large doors almost falling, well, of course, she almost fell why the fuck women wear those deathtraps they call heels,
“Why does my fucking coffee taste like shit Francis!?”
“I… don't know— and how would you know how shit taste sir, ” she had a victorious smirk on her face, oh she thought she's petty, ok Francis let's play, I leaned forward, looking up directly in her grey eyes,
“I'd know Francis because I eat it from the back,” stood up straighten my suite, gather my files, and proceeded to walk out the office, realizing I didn't hear her heels clicking which should indicate she's walking behind me, I stopped in my tracks, turned around and saw Francis still had disbelief and defeated look on her face,
“Well, are you coming? The notes can't jot their selves down you know, that's why they hired you”, she kept her head held down and just kept walking towards me, taking the full lead I head towards the boardroom.
It's been three years since the death of my husband, Anthony Rhone. I found out that married me without my knowledge, to enjoy that I was ok, and probably if he was alive today I— I would have... Kissed him more, hug him longer, what if he did live? Why did he have to die? I miss him, I miss him every single day, it's been so long but to me, it's like yesterday, the wound was still fresh, no matter how many times I peel the band aid back just to check because I will never accept it, my husband lives forever, I carried him around in my heart. Jace on the other survived, lucky bastard, I thought, he did get away without a serious injury but at least he is alive, I can tell every day that he is grateful. I sat in my backyard while lily and her grandparents played, yes grandparents. After Anthony's funeral I discovered, I was pregnant. And even though everyone looked at me with scorn for keeping the baby, I'm glad I did.
Anthony PovI sat next to Megan with my hands cuffed to hers and hers cuffed to the bedpost, there was no escaping and I knew it, but I was glad she was just an amateur trying to walk in the foot steps of her father, she had no idea, what that fake stone consisted,I watched Stevie carefully as she paced back and forth in the room, with her hands behind her, "Why did you kill her...why did you kill Higgins?" I questioned her trying to buy us enough time"Well, that day at the grocery store...""I told you it was her! I told you," Megan shouted in a whisper to my face."That day I sort of trail you guys because at first I just wanted money and an easy life, but unfortunately your girl Higgins was too friendly with strangers, we met in a bar back in Paris and I realize she was an opportunity, so I killed her and threatened you using her phone, and came to Florida in a disguise looking like her,
Megan POVHas I regained consciousness, groaning in pain, I was experiencing a terrible headache, I tried to move, but my body felt weak, and lacked energy. I felt cold, cold to be exact because I still naked from Natalie and I... wait a minute. While I processing everything, I noticed how my hands felt as if they were tied above my head, and I was in slightly a sitting position, the objects around my hands, rumbled like metal chains, and then it hit me, I was cuffed to the bedpost, but why? I slowly began to open my eyes, but I instantly regret it, the bright light from the room stung my eyes, so force them shut, cursing lowly under my breath, my cheeks felt sticky and stiff, it must be from stained lipstick, I opened my eyes again, and I saw her, staring at me."What the fuck is going on Natalie? You drugged me, you sick psychopath,”Chuckling lowly, she glared at me, with a luminous grin “Couples of hours ago you were
Anthony POV"Listen, Jace! I'm telling you... I saw Darb this morning, he is here in Florida so assign someone else to attend to Megan's parents, but I need you here, right now". I angrily end the call.I was overworked and pissed, It was a couple of days until my wedding, and I haven't fucked my fiancée in days, we barely even spoke, these last couple of days have been terrible, I just want to get through them with Megan. I palmed my face, I was stressed, horny and my part-time PA got on my fucking nerves, she was clumsy, hopelessly jabbed me flirty talk and she questioned my authority, "Mr. Rhone is everything ok?" She asked."Yes,” I retorted stiffly."You know Anthony—” she got up from her assigned desk, walked towards me, massaging my shoulders"I can make you feel good— real good...if you'll give me the chance, ” she stood behind me, leanin
Megan PovMom was right, it's time to put things between Stevie and me behind me, but It was impossible to get in touch with her, her social media accounts haven't been updated in months, our friends back home haven't heard from her, I even tried to reach out to her parents, but they only insulted me, calling me names. It's like she vanished off earth's surface.This past week has been busy, Anthony are I still aren't talking terms and we are supposed to get married in a few days, and my life has been a rollercoaster filled with surprises, betrayals, deaths, and secrets.

Anthony POVAfter explaining over and over to Megan what happened in the bathroom that night, she searched my story for loopholes that didn't exist, Natalie kept sending me random messages from various numbers, and even though I blocked and ignored her, she will only message me via another phone, I had to beg Megan to not go by Natalie's house to whoop her ass, everyone knew who we were, and no doubts that we would make every possible gossip site there is, and I honestly couldn't deal with another Best friend Scandal"Meg, come on are you seriously going to ignore me? Your parents are on their way and this is how we will greet them," ever since last night, she hasn’t spoken to me, or even looked at me, she went as far as to sleep in another bedroom.I took the day off work to help her prepare her parent's favorite meal, clean the house, and welcome them, I could have hired someone to do all of that bu
