Unfair fate

Megan is just getting comfortable in the hotel room, when she noticed that she isn't alone in the room.

She didn't know she had company, until she switched on the light.

She retreated a bit, until she was stopped by a hand, and that was when she realised, someone else, is standing behind her.

When she thought that it is just two men, she is feeling a third hand, which means that they are three.

"Who are you?

She managed to ask.

As she moved forward, making her way to the door.

"Don't bother, we are not here to hurt you.

Senator Charles sent us.

You have to leave town now, so that you can be safe".

Megan looked worriedly at them.

She knows that she cannot escape from them.

Even if they are not from Charles, she doesn't have a choice than to believe them.

"Why should I run away?

She asked.

"We don't have time for questions, you will understand better later".

One of them answered her, and then they led her by the hand, out of the hotel room.

By the time she got to the car, she didn't know what happened, but she became unconscious.

She woke up hours later in a hotel room, that looks different from the one she had been in hours ago.

She looked around her, wishing there is some one around, that she could ask, what the issue is, but no one.

She didn't remember carrying her box, but she could see her box, close to the wardrobe.

Did they just take her away from her room, to bring her to another room in the hotel?

She asked herself, but when she got up, and walked out of the room, she is shocked, that she is in a totally different place, but what was even more shocking was that, she is in a different country.

"What time is it?

She asked herself, and that was when she realised that, she is not just few hours out, she had been out for almost a day.

She then remembered all that had happened.

She touched her stomach again, as if trying to check if she is still pregnant.

"How long am I going to keep running?

She asked herself again.

She have heard about Charles's children, but she haven't seen any of them.

Why they are after her, is something she doesn't really understand.

She is only a humble prostitute, trying to make a living by selling her body.

She is not the first to do that, so why are they acting like she have done something they have not heard of before?

She started making her way down the stairs, gradually, hoping she would find someone, that will explain what is happening to her.

When she got to the last stairs, it was the reception hall, by her right hand, so she looked at the face of the beautiful lady, who smiled at her.

She returned the smile, then decided to meet her, and ask her some questions.

"Please I will like to...

"You want to know how it so happened that you are in the United kingdom, instead of the US?

She took it from her, and Megan nodded hopefully.

Well I don't know what is happening, but the guard that brought you, said you might be in danger, and he paid, for you to stay here for a month, saying that you can start your life from here, that you know what to do".

She isn't sure, she understand her quite well, but she went back to the room, hoping to find a message that would help her understand, but she found nothing.

When she raised her box, she found a note.

It was written in a familiar handwriting.

She read it over and over again.

Charles is calling it a quit with her.

He is insinuating that she is the reason, his wife is battling with her life.

He explained, why she should stay in the UK for a while, as the US is not safe for her, that his second son, is looking everywhere for her.

He also says, she should try to speak less of him, so that, she doesn't put herself in trouble.

Megan had tears in her eyes, as she finished reading the note.

She tore the note, and flushed it in the toilet.

She stood by the mirror in the restroom, as she stared at her reflection.

"I have suffered too much in this life, I shouldn't suffer more.

I will not allow Charles and his family to stop me from achieving what I want.

Megan, you are going to go outside, and act like nothing happened.

You are going to have this baby, and enjoy your life, and you will never mention the name Charles, ever again!

She told herself, and then stepped out again, after applying some make up on her face.

She went straight to the bar, but those at the bar, seem to be enjoying themselves, as they kept watching a guy, that seem to be getting himself drunk to stupor.

She wonders what could have made a fine man like that get drunk, that he is being held.

She decided not to look at him, but she just couldn't keep her eyes off him.

The waitress started searching him indirectly, trying to steal from him, and others did nothing, that was when Megan forgot all she had said about minding her business.

She got up and walked up to the waitress.

"I could have you fired, for what you are doing to this man right now".

She threatened.

The waitress tries to deny it, but she couldn't find the right words to use.

Megan hissed, and then, helped the guy, who couldn't stand up without holding her.

She would have loved to send him home, but she doesn't even know anywhere around the UK, so she thought of taking him to her room.

She could hear others saying, she is trying to have him to herself, and steal his money too, but she ignores them, as she helped him to her own room.

She placed him on her bed, as his ID card fell off from his back pocket.

She could see, that his name is Edward Charles.

Why she is coming in contact with people bearing Charles is shocking, but she is glad that she is not in the US.

She believes that all the Charles in her life, she have left behind in the US.

But little did she know, that she cannot run away just like that.

Fate has a way, of bringing people together.
