_Ludovic After watching Meghan drift off to sleep. I closed the door behind me and calmed myself down. Why did things have to escalate like this on the very last night? I didn't know If I should be happy or sad. But I was glad tomorrow we would be leaving for London, If I had to take more of such incidents, I don't know how long I would be able to hold out for. sooner or later, I bound to make a blunder of the situation.Meghan was an attractive woman, and I didn't have a good reputation when it came to women. Right now I was working on something new and exciting with Miriam. I didn't want to hurt her. I was still working to build trust between us. although she hadn't said much, I could tell that she was not sure about my intentions with her. Speaking of which, I needed to talk to her. I made my way to the east wing of the house as I usually did every night for the last few months. after knocking for a while, she opened the door wrapped in a towel. her hair dripping wet. "We going

_Ludovic The minute we touched down on London soil, I had to think on my feet. I've been giving Miriam side glances and she'd been ignoring my attention. I was feeling needy.I had organized for two cars to pick us all up from the airstrip. I could have easily asked for three but that would mean I would not get the time I needed with Miriam alone. Instead of driving to the penthouse, I asked the driver to take us to a small hotel just outside the city for some private time. The last thing I needed was to take her to the penthouse and bump into Neon or whoever the female was that had picked up the phone when I called. We spent the past few hours under the blankets in the hotel and now we were on our way to the hotel Meghan was already waiting with her friend. "Are you okay, you've been very silent since we left the hotel." I glanced at her side but she was focused on the passing scenery."In fine." She exhaled out loud through her nose. "I'm worried.""Please talk to me, what are y

_Neon I paced the penthouse floor, too hyped up to sit still. I just received a call from my uncle that Meghan was discharged from the hospital. There was nothing to hold her for the night. Except being mentally exhausted and confused. She needed to continue seeing someone about her grieving process. She was not In any danger health wise that was alarming. I took off my tie and got rid of the jacket, it had been a long day from the beginning right through the end. My uncle walked into the front door, bone tired. As soon as he saw me, his face lit up into a grin."I can't say I remember the last time you were this happy to see me." I teased."I bought us Chinese takeouts. Switch on the television. I went past the Pablo mansion, The place is a nightmare, it's crawling with journalists." "What were you doing there, I thought we agreed we wait to see it on the news.""I was afraid they didn't make it to the news. I couldn't help myself." He spread his hands in front of him. He was a s

_Neon The cat was out of the bag. I pinned my gaze on Meghan. She was still in that purple cloth. Now that she was sitting down, it had ridden up her thighs. But because of the atmosphere in the room, I didn't think anyone noticed, but scanning around the room, told me how wrong I was. Meghan was looking between me and Noami, with an unreadable expression on her face. I wanted to reach and touch her hand but with the way I was tied up, it was impossible. "You brought us here, to tell us about your dead son?" I said out loud and cut off Pablo's narration.He stopped talking and shot his gaze at me, his patience waning thin. "I never took you for a rude man, Mr Petrov. Your father is certainly not a rude man.""You leave my father out of your mouth." My nose flared. I had to remember to keep calm. He wanted a reaction."I'm afraid that is impossible. You see, your father and I used to work hand in hand in the brotherhood. When I came to London, I started my empire, not forgetting to

_Meghan After Jonathan showed up, Alicia took the opportunity to excuse herself. I knew she was fed up with the work, so it was just me and Jonathan to finish the project. He didn't seem to mind the work. He was, after all, a handyman, so this kind of work must have been something he did on a daily. I chatted up with the sexy handyman, who seemed to return my energy. In no time at all, we were packing up our brushes and clearing away. Jonathan asked me to join him for lunch and I bit my lips, I didn't mind having lunch,I had too much free time and a lot of things that needed forgetting and the sexy young man was doing a great job helping me. We hopped into his car, which was pretty good for a handyman, and I said as much. He must have been making a killing working odd jobs. "Nice car for a handyman," I said "What did you expect? a dirty car, full of tools?" he asked with a raised eyebrow, and the dimple on his left cheek appeared. He was pretty clean too. I couldn't help but loo
