Meghan's POV
I had to remain calm in this situation because I hadn't even been expecting both Jade and Adrian to act like my body guards like that! "Hey, I don't appreciate any of these nonsense. You're coming back home with me this instant!" Alec said, for some reason he thought he still had rights over me. Before anyone could say anything, I was forced to burst out to laughter. He frowned, watching me like I'd just ran mad. I didn't care. "For years I've been married to you. You never seem to care about me, but now you want me back home?" I asked looking certainly puzzled! His lips pouted as he frowned. "But you're still my wife--" Jade stepped forward. "Come on, love. We have work to do. You shouldn't waste your time here with this one." "Yes that's right." Adrian added. "I have great news for you. Shall we all meet over at your office?" I nodded and turned to head to my office when I felt a strong grip on my hand. "Ouch. Let go of me!" "Regina, I--" Punch! It was so hard that it knocked him down, causing him to fall unconscious one time. At the office clinic, the nurse had just left after attending to him. I was forced to at least wait until he opened his eyes. A loud groan escaped from him as he began to open his eyes. "This hurt like crazy!" He cried out whining like a baby. I got up, "Well Adrian shouldn't have punched you hard like that. He sends his apology." Alec jumped up to sit, "Wait--W...where are you going? Look at me! I'm hurt and you'd rather leave me here all alone? Ouch!" He winced as he pressed his nose slightly. It had been bandaged. "Oh I just here to make sure you didn't die from that little punch, and you awake now has given me my answers. You want pampering? I'll go get Mira for you." Anger filled me. I didn't want to sound petty now but fuck! He's just so annoying. He blinked. "Mira? What does she have to do with--you know what, never mind. I could sue you right now. And your pretty boys." My heart sank. "Never mind? Huh...coming from the man who ruined our marriage because of some dumb secretary." He looked serious as he glared at me. "I don't know what you're talking about. If you're going to be petty with me over a secretary I fired three months ago, because she was making moves on me and I didn't like it! But fine, be mad at me. I saw the footage of you leaving with some man!" I didn't want to believe him, but why would he lie? "You...fired her three months ago? Mira isn't part of your staff?" Alec grunted irritatedly. "Where did you get this useless piece of information, these lies?" "And what's that nonsense you were saying about me leaving with a man? You're going to say you don't know my driver? The butler Gabriel sent a driver to come pick me up from that hell house! It was our fucking anniversary, Alec. And you hurt me!" I made my expression hardened. "You can walk. You should leave already." Alex jumped up to his feet, I was surprised at the pace at which he did. "Hold on--" "--if you touch me, I'm doing the punching this time." I said strictly. Instantly, his hands was raised up in the air as defense. "I--I didn't know." It didn't look like he hadn't known the man was my driver. "Okay. Okay. Let's just go back home. I'll have to tell my mom and sister to leave the house for you. You'd rest, relax. Huh?" I remembered all the sleepless nights I had with the way Alec treated me like a maid, he even showed love to his maids than he did to me! I couldn't go back to that hell house! "I don't love you anymore, Alec." I hoped those lies didn't seem too noticeable. His eyes flared, but I didn't care. Wait, did he still feel a thing for me--no! I didn't care any more. "You're joking, right? Look at you. You're still wearing the diamond earrings I gave you for our anniversary! You're nothing without me, Meghan. Over time, you'd only end up missing me like crazy. Why put yourself through that torment?" I reaslied be was slowly patting himself on his thigh like he did when he was nervous. Why was he nervous now? Did he mean what he's saying? I swallowed. I did love Alec, I loved him so much! I wanted to just get close to him now and fall into his arms so he would lift me up, take away all this little suffering that had happened. In marriages, fights were expected, weren't they? It didn't mean things had to end!... "I'm sorry I called you a thief. I'm sorry I wasn't there for you on our anniversary but remember the night we spent together that time...I can't really remember because--" "Of course you can't. Because you were drunk!" The anger had returned again. My face did fluster but it was because of someone else. Jade and I had spent one hot night together when I was still so heavy in pain after Alec and I separation. I cheated on him. That was more than enough reason not to get back together with him! "Wait, I need you to calmly make a decision here. Don't be in a haste!" He pleaded. The proud Alec Anderson is begging! "Please, come back to me."Third POV Bella did not realize this was what she was walking into. It was like a demon walking into heaven with all the bright light and peaceful harmony. Her brother's company was decent enough, her family was rich! But in this Fernandez building, everything was just too big to her. "Maybe I'm a little under dressed?" She looked down to herself and felt she could have worn her most expensive outfit instead of this long sexy dinner gown.Her hair was purple now, and she was thinking of letting it stay like that. She dialed her brother's number again, "why won't you just pick up, my sweet and darling brother!"He could be annoying like that sometimes. "No wonder Meghan divorced your ass."She bumped into a figure just as she was advancing towards the receptionists' big desk. "Hey watch where you're going!" She screeched. The man stopped. He was tall, all dressed like a gentleman in his brown suit that fit his body well. His eyes relaxed, he didn't smile but it looked like he felt s
Alec's POVI pulled Meghan over after this whole dramatic scene with Paulina. "So tell me, are you proud of yourself now for creating an enemy for yourself like this!"She did not even overeact. I hated how confident she was. "Hey, what do you even want from me, Alec?""Let's just go back to being partners again. Why is that so hard for you to imagine.""You know, maybe I don't even want a partner anymore. I mean, I'm all better, why should I want a partner?""So this is how you're going to be? Proud and arrogant like this?" She laughed out, "Alec, remember what you said to me. You said I was weak and I let everyone walk down on me. But now I'm proud and arrogant?""Meghan, look. Whatever happen all those months ago, they're in the past now. You're going to have my child so why act like this anyway! Do you want me to announce this to the whole world?"She eyed me up and down and shook her head. "You keep saying this child is yours. How are you even sure about it, huh? For all I care,
Meghan's POV "Miss Meghan Price is the new director."I thought I was dreaming as he pronounced carefully. There was like a strong silence filling the room as he spoke. Then Paulina's voice thundered. "What!??""I don't think you all should be too surprised about this. Miss Meghan is one of the company's finest business owners around here."This produced a scoff from Paulina. "Yea? Is that why she's in huge debts right now? We know of her cheap attempts begging money from banks and all!""See that's where you're wrong." The instructor said and even I blinked in shock. "There's someone here to convince you strongly why Meghan deserves to be the director. Please let's welcome madam Chloe from Westham bank."Murmurs filled the air as everyone repeatedly called out the bank. The thing was, Westham bank was one of the famous banks in the country! And there was someone from the bank to speak on my behalf?A slender talk woman walked in. She carried an aura of strong confidence so you can
Meghan's POV"Getting married? What...how...wh--" before I could say anymore thing, she brushed past me and stepped out. I followed behind just in time before the elevator closed again."If you and Alec were getting married, he would have told me." I said. I didn't know why I felt the need to crush her, "I would know because we were together all through yesterday evening."That got her attention at least. "That's a lie. I don't believe you.""Then ask him yourself." No. The realization hit me before I could even blink. "On second thought, that's none of your business. Happy married life in advance." I hurried inside. "Just on time, we want to make a vote now." Said Warren, one of our colleague in the training and Paulina's partner.Alec was not sitting, he leaned back against the wall in a corner, his eyes gazing on the whole classroom, but clearly he was just lost in thought.He sighted me and jumped up in shock. Then he rushed over to my side, "hey Meg, are you alright? Did you sle
Meghan's POV I slept fine that night, which was funny because I couldn't help but understand why. My life was a huge mess, and Paulina called me but I didn't go? I would be facing hell the next day at work. And...worse...Alec hasn't called me not even for once! That only meant worse. How could I be pregnant?? I woke up even feeling more better than ever. "Stupid brain, don't you understand what depression means??" Everything had been going fine in fact. I had on my dark purple power move jumpsuit and my nude heels, my bath was amazing with the water hitting the right nerves. My fried egg came out perfectly too! And I made my coffee just right. Heaving in a deep sigh as I stepped into the building that morning, I knew it was only just a matter of time before someone found me and spiked my anxiety levels. I was pregnant. How was I being so cool about it? Well, maybe because I've still got another problem and this can wait. I've still got a couple of months, I can still
Jade's POVWatching her leave was so hard for me to do, but I hated that there was nothing more I could do about it."If only you can see how much I want to help, Meghan." It hurt but...I heaved in a deep sigh. "I need a drink."Pouring a shot of whiskey in the glass, the strong scent filled my nostrils, I gobbled it all down at once and gasped out."There must be something I can do..."I thought for a while, then decided to clear my head out. I called Martins and we headed to a local bar just close to my place. "I just want to help." I said to him when we were all settled down. I'd been talking all through the ride. "Sir, I understand you. But maybe she just doesn't want to feel like a burden to you, have you thought about that?"I shook my head. "A burden? She's my best friend. I'm supposed to help, if I don't, then that's a shame."Martins only shrugged. "Okay, what is it?" I was forced to ask. I didn't like that look on his face, like he was tired of having this conversation wi
