Meanwhile at the party.....Greg pulled Elizabeth by the arm, dragging her out of the event hall, Mrs. Wilson was fuming and embarrassed at the same time, but Greg couldn't care less.When they got outside, Elizabeth refused to get in the car, “We are going home Elizabeth, you don't have an option" Greg stated.“First you pulled me all the way here like an animal, and now you are going to force me to go back with you?” Elizabeth threw back.All these while Mrs. Wilson remained silent, she kept quiet, but everything still felt like a shock to her, she was extremely furious. But seeing Elizabeth behaving in a crude way triggered her. “Elizabeth, you have said enough, and you have done enough, do you want to disgrace us further, you want to cause a scene outside here as well”.You know very well I warned you not to lie to me, but you deceived me. What insolence.Elizabeth threw her face away like Mrs. Wilson wasn't talking to her.“Greg, let her be, leave her here and let's go home, " M
In all misery Megan was having a better time. Alex was a cold person. He had his guard up and built a wall around himself. He was always okay in his cocoon never bothering about anything else, especially after his previous experiences.He was used to the solitude but there was something about Megan that caught his attention. It made his walls slowly start cracking.“Thank you for agreeing to this”. Alex said in a gentle voice. “Thank you for accepting to go on this date with me” he said again.“Only because you helped me with the video” A small smile appeared on Megan's lips and Alex realised why his guard was about to be let down. Why did his cold heart start warming up?Maybe it was Megan's bright smile, the way it lit up a room and made his heart skip a beat. Whatever it was, he found himself wanting to be around her more and more, wanting to see her smile and hear her laugh every day. He wanted to be the one to make her laugh every single day.“Regardless, I thought I was going to
Detective Ben was Megan's secret detective. He glanced at the picture on his screen again to be sure it was the same person. The lady sitting across from him was the same person on the screen, the same lady Elizabeth was talking to a few hours ago.The lady snivelled, cleaning her tears continuously. Ben waited for her to calm down before he started his enquiries. After Megan had tipped him that something was off about Elizabeth's company that was about to be launched, he stationed his men around her. He had already disappointed her with Hailey's investigation and he didn't want that to happen again.One of them sent the picture a few hours ago. He hurried over to meet her after she was led to the café by his underlings. The lady finally stopped crying and picked up the coffee Infront of her, gulping down half of the content."Are you okay now?" "A bit better." She replied, glancing around nervously."Don't fret, it is safe here. So tell me about your argument with Ms Elizabeth" He
Megan went through the papers Detective Ben left on the table, she was excited to see the defeated look that will be on Elizabeth's face once her deeds are revealed. Hopefully, she will be a bit remorseful for causing someone pain this time. It was late but she couldn't wait to see Alex and informed him about her findings. She decided to call him first, knowing fully well that the man might still be in his office, overworking as usual. Alex picked up on the second ring. "Hi" "Missed me?" "Where are you? I have to see you now" Megan ignored his teasing. "Just rounding up for the day" Megan could hear the clicking of his keyboard from the background. "I'm coming over, wait for me" she disconnected the call before he could stop her. Alex wasn't expecting to see her so soon. They literally just got off the phone about fifteen minutes ago and she was in his office already. Megan walked over, excited to tell him everything she found out dark haired man pulled her onto his lap for a
Megan smirked and walked towards Layla, she took the papers from her and handed it to the police officer. The stern-faced man went through everything attentively."Mrs Wilson, from these papers it was you are guilty of murder and plagiarism. You have the right to call a legal team..." "Of course, I will! My lawyer is on his way so tell these brutes to get their hands of me or I will press charges""A murderer threatening to press charges? I would like to see" Megan taunted.It was obvious that everything had been revealed but Elizabeth wouldn't submit like that. She was taken away by the policemen and a close down warrant was granted on the newly launched company.The guests were dismissed, much to their disappointment. They anticipated the company only to find out that it was a mere scam.***At the police station, Elizabeth was haughty and rude to everyone, she refused to go into the cell room until her lawyer and her father arrived. She insisted that she didn't know anything about
Megan plopped down on Alex's chair, tired and a bit angry. She got the news that Elizabeth was allowed to go home and that made her feel like her efforts were a total joke."Stop sulking, their stock is plummeting fast and the company wasn't launched" Alex tried to console, rolling up his sleeves. He leaned against his large desk, facing her."Layla was wronged! She didn't get her justice""You did what you could, Megan. Stop being hard on yourself" Alex pulled her up and sat down, letting her sit on his lap. "You think so?""Yes. Now can I ask you a question?" Alex gently tugged the straying strands of hair framing her face."What? ""It's a warning actually""Warning?""In the next one minute, I'm going to kiss you and then strip you off your clothes and fuck you against this desk" Megan paused, her eyes boring into Alex's as if trying to search for something. A tiny bit of emotion to give out that he was teasing her at that moment, but his eyes were dead serious, no bit of playfu
Things were definitely not going well with Evelyn, not that it was her who was accused of murder and neither was her family suffering from bankruptcy but. It was something else.She held her phone tightly as she dialled a number, the veins In her hands popping out as anger brewed within her.Hello, the voice from the phone picked up. “How can you throw all of my efforts into the drain like that Huh! You let yourself get caught”. She said her voice was barely audible.“Oh spare me all of that Evelyn, you only provided me with mediocre information”. Elizabeth replied back in rage. Apparently, they were working together to bring Megan down.“I did everything you asked of me, Elizabeth”.“And yet, you couldn't make Mr. Leonard have so much hate for his child that it will break her”. Elizabeth scoffed mockingly.“I let you hack into the song's database, I made Mr. Leonard angry at his own child, I did all sorts of disastrous things to make sure your plan to eliminate Megan succeeded”. But
“What did you just say?”, Mr Leonard questioned with a fuming gaze.“I said what I said, father, I will be packing out of this house and moving in with Alex”. She said slightly, throwing her face away.“What! No daughter of mine will pack out of the song's mansion to live with someone else”.“Why! So that you can continue to control my life?”. “No, because I don't want you to make the same mistake you committed with Greg”.Megan scoffed, slightly pressing her palms together. “Didn't you want to match Alex and I together? What changed?.“That was before Megan, I know I told you to get along with Alex. But as the day goes by I realise he is even more dangerous than he appears”. Mr. Leonard said with glistening eyes. He didn't want to start to reveal some of the things he had heard.“No father, I made up my mind, just the way you decided to get married a few months after mother's death. Alex and I are bound by something great”.“Common meg, don't bring that up”. He knew that he wronged
