Chapter 5
Megan in a dark room laid on a large queen size bed, how she got there was a mystery. A few minutes ago, she was with her friends having fun, but suddenly, she wasn't. At least that was what she could remember.
Her breath increased rapidly as she felt rough hands on her belly. Wasn't she alone, her heart pounded and at the same time she felt ecstasy build up slowly in her body?
She wanted to speak, but it was more like her voice had disappeared.
“You know what”! Megan’s heart thundered in her chest as she heard the hoarse and manly voice. This confirmed the fact that it was a man.
“I haven't had sex in the past five years”. Alex drunkenly said. He felt the innocence of the lady beneath him. It's been so long since he had sex.
So his body burned violently as he couldn't hold the desire to take her hard. He immediately brought Megan closer, taking her by the lips.
She shouldn't be enjoying this right, he was with a total stranger. She was supposed to scream for help. But why did her body respond to those hands when he touches her in the right places?
Alex was no longer satisfied with just touching her, as he tore her clothes, exposing her breasts that bounced out. Her breasts were perky, and he felt the urge to feel them sending shivers to Megan's spine.
“Tell me what you want”. Megan heard the melodious voice ask. And like she was possessed, she answered in desperation.
“I want you, please”, her voice quivered as she felt his head at her core. Her eyes widened. She has never experienced this, not even with Greg.
Her heart broke by the fact that she still thought of Greg at this time. They never had sex like couples do. It was more like an obligation to him.
Alex, felt agitation to just fuck her already, but something in him wanted him to sever every moment. He licked her wetness, making her moan. She was sweet, even Brittany was not to be compared to this woman.
He suddenly found himself going towards her core, she smelled like roses mixed with lavender. The kind of smell that soothed her pale skin and blond hair, reflecting her innocence.
Alex immediately positioned himself, so he could insert his member into her. Until he felt her soft hands touch him. Her eyes pleaded for him to take her, she was eager and wanted him. This was the only confirmation he needed before he entered her, succumbing to ecstasy.
***
The day was bright and the soft morning glow of the Sun rays cast a shadow on the couples. Alex had been up for some moment putting his thoughts together, until his phone suddenly rang.
“Hello sir’. The voice sounded distressed and in so much fear.
“What is it John, haven't I warned you to not disturb my peace during the weekends”. Alex seethed in his raspy voice.
“I am so sorry, sir, but it's urgent”. John at the other end was sweating profusely.
“The company is in danger”.
“There is a fall in the stock price of the company and the investors are pulling out. And Mr. Jackson is nowhere to be found and worst of all the police are all over the company accusing us of fraud”. Alex’s assistant voice rushed with trepidation.
The gold group is one of the most well-known jewelry companies in New York. It is well known that it was started up by an eighteen-year-old cold and ruthless tycoon who lost his parents at an early age and the company had seared to the highest level under his care.
“What”! Alex immediately got up from his bed.
“Shit”! He cursed under his breath. Jackson was at the club with him last night, he is probably suffering from a hangover or doesn't want to work since its weekend.
This wouldn't have happened if he didn't have an obsession with blond girls. He felt his heart squeeze with hatred and anger as he looked at Megan's oval face. She was so peaceful and Beautiful in her sleep, yet she was fashioned against him.
Without a second thought, He immediately started wearing his clothes stiffly. His expression was calm and collected, not the kind of reaction you expect from someone whose business is in danger.
“I am coming, John. Just make sure to keep calm until I get there”. He hung up.
With one last look at her. He swore never to have anything to do with women in general. In Fact, he never wanted to see this woman again. He turned majestically towards the door, walking out without hindrance.
A few minutes later, after Alex had left, Megan woke up with no memories of last night's encounter. She put her hands on her head as she felt her head banged like a drum.
“Oh fuck”. She cursed immediately she noticed she was naked. Megan was truly with a man and it wasn't a dream. All of a sudden, the memories flood her like an erosion. She was with a man whose face wasn't vivid.
Her face flushed, showing how embarrassed she was.
“How did this happen?” Her eyebrows furrowed. She looked at her body, and they were covered with hickies and even when she stood up, she felt her legs give way.
“That monster,” she said aloud with a red face. This is so embarrassing.
Megan immediately wore her clothes that were scattered around. It's been only two days since she divorced Greg, she needed to put her life together. She thought.
Megan walked in on her father and two brothers having breakfast. Her father had always been a distant figure in her life, since the death of her mother. What made her leave to marry Greg was the fact that her father got married to another woman, Mrs. Evelyn.
She felt her happiness was bound with Greg when her father decided to have another family, unfortunately she thought wrong.
“Good morning father”. Megan greeted her father. Mr. Leonard distantly.
Enzo felt Megan's reluctance. And he didn't blame her. Their father had wronged them. Even if he and Loyd could forgive him, Megan could not.
“Welcome home, my good daughter”. Mr. Leonard replied with a happy tone. He appreciated that all three of his children were around.
“I am so happy you decided to return, Margaret. The house hasn't been the same without you”. Her father said, with no emotions.
Megan was irritated, it was more like he had rehearsed what to say to her.
“But that aside. I have an important announcement”.
“Your father is old now, and he needs to rest”.
Megan could only smirk at her father. She just knew he wanted to talk about business.
Typical Mr. Leonard, who doesn't know him in New York City. The powerful man who hardly sleeps when it comes to business. The man who would rather talk about business than acknowledge his daughter after five good years.
“I want Enzo to take over the company”. His father said.
“Me”? Enzo looked back to ensure he was
talking to him.
Mr. Leonard raised his brows dangerously at Enzo.
“I can't father”, he immediately replied.
“You brat, how can you say you can't take over the company”?
“Common dad, I have my own company. You don't expect me to leave it”. Enzo vibrated.
Mr. Leonard could only shake his head in frustration.
“What about you, Loyd”? He turned to Loyd, who had been quiet since morning.
“I don't want it either. We all know I want to lead a simple life and I hate anything related to business”.
“I have decided that I would like to become a pastor”. Loyd blurted out, making Mr. Leonard's eyes bulge out in bewilderment and making Enzo burst into laughter.
Enzo’s eyes glinted. The monster had decided to change. Loyd was a spoiled brat who made lives for people in New York hell. He was sure his sudden change was all Anna's doing. Anna was the girl Loyd loved and still loves, it is a painful one-sided love from him.
“How can my two sons decide not to take over the family business? What will become of the company? Who will keep it running?” Mr. Leonard puts his hands on his chest as he was about to have a heart attack.
“I will do it”. The feminine yet strong and brave voice echoed.
Mr. Leonard’s footsteps echoed softly as he descended the stairs, his eyes were dull as he scanned the room. Alex, Megan, Enzo, and Loyd stood, all eyes on him. Jake clung to his mother's side, his small hand gripping hers tightly."Jake," Leonard said softly, stepping forward with a smile. “You look so much like your mother.” Megan swallowed, her lips pressed tightly together, but she didn’t respond. Her grip on Jake’s hand tightened as Leonard reached out to touch the boy’s face. Jake smiled a little but moved behind his mother to hide. He knew Grandpa hurt mum, so he was also angry.Leonard’s hand dropped slowly, hurt. “Maybe I deserve that,” he murmured, sighing as he pulled back. Enzo cleared his throat as dinner was served and they all moved to the table, sitting in silence as the sound of cutlery clinking on dishes became the only noise.After a long pause, Leonard cleared his throat and looked up at his children. “I know I wasn’t a good father.”Loyd scoffed, muttering under
Two years later.Things may have seemed like they will never go back to normal for Megan, it was from one trouble to another bigger one. However it says with trouble comes ease.Megan stood in front of the crystal like window as she admired the light blue sky. How she wishes she could just stand here forever. As it reminded her of her better and bad Days.“Mummy, we are going to be late, daddy is waiting”. Little Jake, who was not so little anymore, bugged his mother with his sharp and piercing tone.Yes, Megan and Alex got married last year and they have been happy together. You might wonder what happened to Evelyn and Brittany. Well Evelyn was dead obviously.However Brittany's life never remained the same. She got depressed and started taking drugs, Mr Leonard still considered her his daughter so he sent her to rehab.“Oh, baby, Megan's face lit up with a smile. How she loved this little boy. Mummy is done already, let's go”. She grabbed onto his hands and moved towards the living
Life can be unpredictable right. Evelyn was still dazed, it felt as though her legs couldn't move.“No,no that is not true, she sniffed hard. It's not true. He died, I was winning and all of you were my puppets, everything was going according to my grand plan”. She kept emphasising on her words while pointing at Leonard.“Shut up woman, he interjected. I was never dead even if you did everything possible to get me out of the way. I heard the things you said to me while I was unconscious”.Evelyn gasped for the upteenth time. “How is this possible?” However instead of feeling remorse for her evil activities, she felt nothing but anger. It brewed slowly inside of her that it made her burst.“It's all your fucking fault. Did you think after how you betrayed me I will just let you into my life again. I accepted you because of your wealth and what you had to offer to our daughter”.“And I killed your wife to make sure nothing gets in my way again but your stupid witch of a daughter just ha
Brittany was feeling feverish, a feeling that what she was doing wasn't good. However her urge to have Alex just to herself was even greater.“It's too bad we have to get separated in this way, Meg”. Evelyn whispered to Megan as she finally cocked her gun and pointed it at her.“Please, Megan begged weakly. I will go far away with my son and never return”. Jake was the only person she could think of at that moment. She needed to keep him away from harm.“It's too late darling, Evelyn sucked her lips showing false sympathy. You should have disappeared when you had the chance”. She said with a glint in her eyes.“Don't worry meg, Brittany is going to take care of him and Alex”. Evelyn pointed the gun at Megan, this time with the intent of pulling the trigger. She has said all that needed to be said. While Brittany watched with mixed feelings.Everything seemed to be in slow motion to Megan. The moment felt like an eternity. The air grew thick and heavy, pressing against her chest, maki
The fear in Megan's heart was sharp, her pulse quickening as Evelyn stood over her, gun in hand, her expression twisted with a mixture of anger and satisfaction.Brittany stood nearby, her posture tense, her face a mask of conflicting emotions. Megan could see the hesitation in her sister’s eyes, a flicker of uncertainty that was an opposite of the cold malice she had shown earlier. But there was no time to dwell on it. Not with Evelyn so close, her finger poised on the trigger.“Stay out of this, Brittany,” Evelyn snapped, her voice hard and cold. “You’re just as stupid as Sonia was, and that’s why she’s dead.”Evelyn’s words cut through the air like a knife, and Megan’s heart lurched. She looked at the woman closely, wondering if she'd just misheard. Did she just admit to knowing about her mother's death? “What do you know about my mother's death? Megan asked with a shaky voice. She watched as Evelyn struggled to maintain her composure, her hand shaking slightly as she pressed the
consciousness crept back into her mind. The pounding in her head was unbearable, a dull ache that intensified when she tried to open her eyes. “Damn," she hissed as the migraine hit her in full force. She felt like her head was splitting in half and she couldn't even help it. “Where am I?" She muttered as she turned. She blinked several times, trying to adjust to the dim light filtering through the room. It was then that the cold, hard reality hit her—she was tied tightly to a chair, her wrists and ankles bound with rough rope that dug into her skin.Panic surged through her, and she instinctively began to struggle against her restraints. The chair creaked under the force of her movements, but the ropes held firm. “Who is here! Help me!" She called out, wiggling. Panicked, she glanced around her, the memories of what had just happened assailed her. Someone had grabbed her from behind and she'd passed out with the pungent smell forced in her face. She'd been drugged and now she was
Megan shivered, she had a bad feeling that her sister, Brittany had done something crazy. Why else was she calling just when she couldn't find her son and then she was laughing like a psychopath. “Brittany?" She called out over the phone, standing in the living room and shivering in her shoes. “I guess you're home by now, because I know that you wouldn't have answered my call otherwise," she said with a casual tone. “Why are you calling?" Megan asked carefully. She had a bad feeling in her guts that Brittany's call wasn't just a coincidence. “You know why I'm calling, Megan, don't play dumb with me," Brittany replied with a stiff tone. Megan sighed, taking deep breaths to steady herself. She was already trembling and she couldn't find her voice. "Brittany, what is this about?” She asked, already losing her patience. The anxiety was killing her and clearly Brittany was trying to mess with her head. How on earth did she know that she'd just gotten home? And what did that have to do
Brittany stood in the doorway, a forced smile plastered on her face as she gazed at her nephew, Jake. She had a sly smile on her face. How lucky she was, as if everything in nature was just sending her a sign. Her mother's plan would work out smoothly. “Hey little boy," she said with a sugary tone. But Jake just looked up from his painting and gazed at her blankly without saying a word, his eyes almost bored. “Come on, won't you say hello to your aunty?" Brittany tried again with an even more sweet voice but inwardly she was rolling her eyes. “No," Jake gave a single monotonous reply and didn't bother explaining himself, he just picked up his crayons and continued stroking each color across his white paper. Brittany sneered as he turned his face away, he was indeed a miniature version of his mother, Megan, with the same piercing blue eyes and mischievous grin. It was almost like he was staring at Megan's younger self right there on the couch. "Oh, Jake, I'm sure you don't really
Brittany paced back and forth in the fancy little cafe. She couldn't help the anxiety and anger that she felt. The thought of them made her nauseous. “She is in there with him as we speak!" She said and drummed her fingers on the table again. Evelyn had a very calm look on her face. But then that was typical. She wasn't easily ruffled, she always had a plan for everything and that was exactly why her daughter trusted her to find a solution. “Calm down, Brittany, anger never solved anything, what you need to do is plan," she advised. Brittany was exasperated, she hissed, “Calm? How can I possibly be calm right now?" She asked, spreading her arms. “She is with my husband and he won't even allow me see him, he told me to stay out of his way." Smiling, Evelyn waved it all off like it didn't matter. “Come on, Alex is just licking his wounds. You should allow him to do that.” She replied. "I don't know how long that will last for and frankly I don't wish to find out. All I know is that
