When Megra is betrayed by the person she trusted most things have to change, but it seems everything is falling apart. Will her new love last with the danger surrounding her?
View MoreI jump out of the taxi in a rush to get to my house. I can feel the butterflies in my stomach. I have never been so excited or happy. Today will be the beginning of my happily ever after, and I am ready.
I had gotten a tip that Andrew would be proposing, and I want to make it special. It has been three years since he walked into my life. He was tall, with brown eyes, and accomplished. I could not believe it when he asked me to be his girlfriend. I run for the elevator as soon as I enter our building. I can't stop thinking about everything I need to get done.
I could already picture him kneeling with a ring in his hands. It is going to be wonderful tonight.
I hurriedly walk out of the elevator to our fifteenth-floor apartment. I open the door, and my heart drops. I can feel the blood draining from my face. My gaze is fixed on the clothes that are scattered all over the floor.
This is not possible. Not on our anniversary. Today, Andrew was meant to pop the question and ask me to marry him. How can I be so wrong?
It takes all the strength I have to follow the trail leading to the bedroom. I hear the soft laughter and moans from inside. I slowly open the door, hoping that I am wrong.
Through my teary eyes, I can see their passion for one another. I watch their intertwined bodies move in perfect rhythm. Every sigh of their pleasure breaks my heart even more. Andrew, face-deep in her thighs, in all his magnificence. His hands closed around her waist firmly. Her hands were drawing him in, and she was calling out his name.
“Andrew.” I can hear a stutter in my voice as I call out to him.
He lifts his face and stares at me with a blank expression.
“Wh... what are you doing here? I thought you were at work.”
“What am I doing here?” Andrew, is that all you have to say to me?” My anger was evident. “Who is she?” I can feel my body shaking and tears running down my cheeks.
Andrew stands up and starts to walk towards me.
“Babe, listen”
I can't believe this. Is he really trying to explain? I start walking towards the bed, but he grabs me. Who is she, Andrew?” I scream, “Who is she?” I can hear the pain in my voice as I fight to get free.
I need to know who he has been betraying me with.
“Megra, please stop. Let me explain.”
His hands are firm on my shoulders. Is he protecting her? I lift my tear-stained face to him before I slap his hands off me and push him away.
I shove him away and run to the top of the bed. I pull the covers from her face.
Becca! This is not true.
My legs feel weak. I drop to the floor. This is unbelievable. This was not what I expected. My best friend? My partner in crime? How? Why? How was she able to? How were they able to? I'm having trouble breathing. I have a sharp pain in my chest that feels like it's tearing out my heart. My body had no strength at all. I toss a confused glance at Andrew. My expression of disgust masks how much I hate him. How could such a wonderful and happy day go so terribly wrong? Was everything fake?
Becca had been the one to tell me about Andrew's plan to propose. She introduced us. I try to talk, but nothing comes out. I slowly get up, using the dresser for support. I looked at Becca before walking to the closet.
Finally, I let out a whisper, “How long?”
"Megra, it's not like that!”
I cannot believe what I am hearing. Not like that?
I start stuffing my things into a suitcase, only one thought racing through my mind: Do not let them see you cry. My shoulders are hunched in defeat, and my eyes are hollow and hopeless as I lift my face to look at Andrew.
"Baby, listen to me.” His voice scratching at my soul. This was a mistake.”
I look at Becca, still in bed. There was no effort to leave or say anything. I could feel Andrew's hand on me.
"Megra, you have to listen to me.”
I let out a saccharine laugh.
Andrew's expression turns cold.
"Where will you go? Huh!" he starts shouting. “You are nothing without me. Nothing." He was angry.
I have never seen this side of him.
“In fact, you should join us and consider it my anniversary gift to you."
“what!” I cannot believe what he is saying. How can he?
What's happening? Tears are streaming down again, and my mind is racing. How can Andrew treat me like this? Why does he behave as if I am at fault? I had built my entire life around this man, and now I felt as if I had been thrust into the worst situation I had ever encountered. It hurts when Andrew grabs my hand. He has anger in his eyes. I push him off and gather my belongings. I run for the door.
"Megra!” He screams, “If you leave, don’t bother coming back. You have nothing."
Epilogue MegraWe stand quietly in front of my mother’s gravestone, feeling the earth beneath my feet solid and cool, like an anchor to this moment. The air is still, the sky washed in muted shades of grey as though the world is holding its breath with me. My eyes trace the familiar letters etched into the smooth stone:**Iris Adams** **Loving Mother, Wife, Daughter, and Sister.**The words feel heavier than usual today, each title pulling me back into memories I’ve spent years trying to bury. There’s something so final about seeing her name like this. My mother. The one person who was always there for me, always strong, always protecting me. And yet, she carried so many secrets. I think about the life she left behind to raise me on her own—the family I only just found out about. All that time, it was just the two of us. She gave up so much, not for herself but for me.A gust of wind stirs the leaves around the graveyard, and I close my eyes, letting the cool air brush against my ski
MegraMusic floats in the air, soft and melodious, filling the room with a sense of calm and joy. I take in a deep breath, letting the sound settle into my bones, feeling its soothing rhythm steady my racing heart. It’s been a year—one long, tumultuous year since everything happened with Becca. A year of healing, of working to forget the chaos Nathaniel and I faced. A year of finding peace, of finding ourselves, of watching Nathaniel become the most wonderful father to the most beautiful daughter.I close my eyes for a moment, holding on to the feeling of peace. When I open them again, I’m staring at myself in the mirror. My eyes glisten with tears as I take in my reflection—my wedding gown flowing around me like a cascade of dreams. It’s the most beautiful dress I’ve ever seen, pure white and delicate, with lace that trails down to the floor. I feel like a princess, like the heroine of a story I once dreamed about but never thought would come true.“Oh my gosh, Megra, you look amazin
MegraIt's been a few days since the fire, since Becca's death. I should feel lighter, like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders, but instead, there's a different heaviness inside me. I can't quite name it—grief, guilt, relief, maybe all of them tangled together. I stand in front of the mirror, staring at my reflection. Mia is perched on the vanity, watching me with her bright eyes. I meet her gaze in the mirror, offering a small smile, though it doesn’t quite reach my eyes.I pick up a small powder puff and begin to dab it gently against my cheeks. The cool, smooth texture of the powder calms me slightly, a welcome distraction from the storm of emotions swirling inside me. Nathaniel is home now, his health restored, his body healing. I’m grateful for that. The newspapers have been full of stories about his heroics, praising him for his bravery. The police cleared his name after searching Becca’s apartment. They found her journals, her twisted plans. It’s all out in the open now.
MegraThe world around me is blurry, shifting in and out of focus. I blink slowly, trying to clear my vision. The ceiling above me is white, harshly bright against my eyes. I feel heavy, like I'm sinking into the hospital bed beneath me. My head throbs, my body aches, and every breath feels like it takes more effort than the last. I hear a steady beep—machines. I’m in a hospital.I remember flames, smoke, Becca's twisted smile. My chest tightens as I recall Nathaniel rushing into the fire. "Nathaniel?" I croak out, my voice barely a whisper, dry and cracked. Panic surges through me, tightening my throat. I try to sit up, but my body protests. "Nathaniel?"A familiar voice, gentle and soothing, cuts through the fog of my thoughts. "He’s fine, my darling." I turn my head slowly, and there she is—Liza, standing beside me. Her face is calm, but I can see the worry in her eyes.“Liza…” I manage, my voice weak. “Where is he? I have to see him. I have to know he’s okay.”She steps closer, ta
Megra“Nathaniel!” I scream, my voice tearing through the chaos as he bursts into the living room, Andrew right behind him. Smoke fills the air, thick and suffocating, and for a moment, all I can see are their silhouettes moving through the haze. My heart leaps with desperate, wild hope. They’ve come for me. They’ve come to save me.Becca’s laugh slices through the air, sharp and cold. Her eyes, wild with madness, flick from Nathaniel to me, and her lips curl into a sinister smile. “You see?” she snarls, her voice dripping with venom. “Even now, even in the face of danger, they run to you. Everyone runs to you, like moths to a flame. Well, then, they deserve your fate.”I watch, my breath catching in my throat, as she pulls a lighter from her pocket, the small flame flickering in the dim light. Fear claws at my insides. “Becca, no!” I shout, but she’s not listening. Her eyes are fixed on Nathaniel and Andrew, her hand steady as she holds the lighter.“Get back!” Becca screams, her voi
The Story of Becca Megra’s eyes are wide with fear, her lips trembling as she pleads. Her voice is a desperate whisper, filled with a panic that only fuels my resolve. She looks so small, so helpless, chained and bound. “Please, Becca,” she begs, her voice cracking. “Why are you doing this? Why?” I pause for a moment, staring at her. My eyes bore into hers, searching, dissecting. It’s like I’m looking right into her soul, seeing every little thing she’s ever taken from me, every single moment she’s made me feel small, insignificant, unwanted. I want her to feel that pain now to understand what she’s done. “I don’t think you should die just yet,” I say slowly, letting the words hang in the air, “without knowing the whole story.” I grab a wooden chair from the corner, dragging it across the floor with a slow, deliberate scrape that echoes through the room. I’m savouring the moment, relishing the fear in her eyes. I set the chair down in front of her and sit, crossing my legs calmly,
