She had to stay in the hospital for two weeks. After Dan left, she eventually crawled to where her phone was and called her Dad who rushed over. Seeing his daughter in that state, he drove her to the hospital then reported the incident at the police station.Dan was arrested while on his way to work. His lawyer came to see Megan to convince her to drop the charges, claiming that Dan was too drunk to realize what he was doing.Megan, feeling sorry that her beloved husband was locked up, went behind her father’s back and dropped the charges. For the next few months, Dan was the perfect dotting husband, rushing home after work to take care of his wife. The home was once again the perfect life that Megan had sacrificed her life for, the cheating incident totally forgotten.Her father was so mad at her. He had never wanted his daughter to get married to Dan in the first place, feeling that he was not worthy of her. She had graduated first in her class and even had an accolade.He thought t

Rich had just come from a meeting with his shareholders. They still had doubts about his leadership and felt that he was deviating from the path that his Dad had set. Already he was accepting collaboration with companies that his father had rejected to work with in his time because of their substandard work. Rich was more interested in enlarging the company and not thinking in the aspect of whether they would make profits or losses.One shareholder had walked out vowing to sell his shares because he wanted nothing to do with the company if Rich took on the latest project. This project would end up bringing a huge loss for the company but Rich refused to see reason.Taking some painkillers from his desk drawer, he poured some wine into a glass and was about to take it when his assistant knocked on the door.“Sir, we have a problem,” he said as he came him holding his phone.“Please deal with whatever it is. I don’t want to hear it” Rich said as he swirled the chair to face the window.

Liana had noticed the change in Cindy. She needed to get back to her good books because she was the only one that she could depend on to get rid of Megan. If Cindy was to lean toward Megan then Liana would have lost a very capable ally."Can I help you with that?" She asked as Cindy washed some fruits to prepare more fresh juice for Megan. Cindy was feeling terrible for having treated Megan so viciously before, all in the name of supporting Liana but now felt like the darkness that had been surrounding her had been shattered and all she saw was light; Megan's light of suffering."It's okay, I got this," she said just as Liana reached for the knife in her hand.Liana could feel the distance widening between them and panicked. "You know, I love your brother so much and I know that once we get married, the two of us will be like sisters. We can be twinning every day and I will introduce you to my circle of friends. I am sure that you will like them." Liana's friends were all socialites w

Megan sat on the swing in the backyard, her slender feet barely touching the ground. She swayed slowly as she kept an eye on her son who was running around after Betty the goat with their family dog barking after them.It was a clear Sunday afternoon and they had just come from church because her religious parents always believed in joining the fellowship at the local church. Meeting the townspeople again after months of being away was refreshing. They were the most loving and caring people who never judged and accepted people as they were. This was why it was easy for her to return home after her first divorce. She wondered if they would still welcome her back after a second divorce.Already a sweet-smelling aroma of baked bread and roast meat wafted out of the kitchen window to signify that mother was almost done with lunch. It was a family tradition for mother to handle lunch preparation alone for the family every Sunday where she set a menu that had been handed down from a line of

Megan stood looking out of the window overlooking the crisp gentle river. It had been two weeks since she went back to the Wayne residence and so far things had been quiet, like the calmness of the river outside. Beth never bothered with her and rarely spoke a sentence to her while Rich assumed that she didn't exist in that house.Back in the countryside, Logan had tried to convince her to move in with him. He lived in a huge five-bedroom mansionette but only one of them was occupied. His master bedroom covered the whole second floor holding a huge jacuzzi, a small bar, and a walk-in closet.Three guest rooms were on the first floor, all of them master bedrooms, and an extra bedroom was on the ground floor where the housekeeper lived.Logan had enough space to accommodate Megan and her son and he was even willing to change schools for Benny and enroll him in the nearby private school. This would have worked well for Megan but she had never been one to take the easy way out. Moreover,
