Breaking Meera
‘Shut your mouth, you fool! I knew you’d be like this. Anyway, I don’t have the time to battle words with you. I came across a scandalous post about your ex-wife, so I decided to get you to see too, maybe then, your eyes will open to the lies she’s been feeding you with. Also, it’s an opportunity to clear your name and turn the table.’ “What is– Beep... Beep... Beep!” Ben stared at the disconnected call with gritted teeth. He hates it when she does that. But that was not the most important thing right now. Vivian wouldn’t act that way if something hadn’t come up. Ben went online and was shocked by what was trending. “Meera, you lying bitch!!” He roared and bolted to the court. ... Meanwhile, in one of the tall buildings in the hearts of the city, Greg was seen in his office, staring at the pictures that were sent to his phone a moment ago. He picked his coat from the hanger and was about to dash out when his assistant barged in. “Greg, the meeting is about to start.” “Postpone

Mr. Greg
As they screamed on top of their voices, they were throwing her eggs, tomatoes, and even stones. Maria became desperate to get her friend away from the crowd, but all to nought. Seeing that she couldn’t create a path for Meera, Maria hugged her and began to collect all that was thrown at Meera with her body. Ben stopped granting interviews and stood there, watching as Meera and Maria were being attacked, while the reporters took pleasure in taking pictures and videos. Even though he still feels hatred for Meera for what she did to him, he decided to help her, at least for old times sake. Just as he was about to take a step towards her, the appearance of a convoy of black vehicles caught his attention. When the long row of black cars stopped in front of the court, out came an entourage of bodyguards forming two long lines with Greg in the middle. Their momentum commanded respect and the aura shrouding them caused a sense of dread to everyone present. The coldness in their eyes woul

Ben's dilemma
Mr. Carl had just threatened to make his daughter drop out of school. He hopelessly watched the angry Greg who was strolling out of the room. What should he do about a patient who is adamant to die? She’s unwilling to live, which is why she’s unresponsive to treatment. He had tried to mentally stimulate her, but she wouldn’t move. However, he dared not say it that way to Mr. Carl, otherwise, he may be sent to the Netherlands to bring her back. He had never seen Mr. Carl care about a woman until now. ... Ben returned home, feeling overwhelmed by the incident that happened earlier. The news of Meera having an affair with Kelvin was already a blow to his ego, and then came Greg!“What is going on? Why can’t I understand anything? This is frustrating me!” Ben hates surprises. He thought his plan was foolproof. What he didn’t see coming was Greg. At the court, he already got an upper hand. After the discovery that Meera was having an affair with a married man and even did abortions f

Young Lord David
Meanwhile, it’s been two days since Meera was taken away by Greg and Maria had started to grow worried. At first, when she told David about it, the boy assured her that Meera was fine and she shouldn’t worry. However, for how long would she stay put and not look for her friend? David, whom she thought would be more worried about his sister, was chatting on his phone with a broad smile on his lips. What kind of situation was this? Not able to take it anymore, Maria stormed in on David, yanked his phone off his grip and was about to throw it aside when she caught the name he was chatting with. Greg Carl!“Do you know him?” surprised Maria questioned. Was Greg a person whom David could befriend on Instagram? The man’s account is private and rarely interacts with anything or anyone, unless on occasions where his account ‘likes’ the company’s post. How did he become friends with David? Maria peeked at their conversation and her eyes widened. She looked over at David and asked, “When di

A backup plan
“What did you say?” Vivian found it hard to believe what Ben just told her. “Recap.”“I said, Meera is acquainted with Greg Carl.”“How? How did that happen? Why are you just telling me that?!”“How was I supposed to know that she would keep such a big secret from me? She made me look like a fool in the eyes of everyone!”“This is not right... This is absolutely not right.” Vivian started pacing in the office. Suddenly she paused and looked at Ben, “Did you see her for who she really is now? She’s never been the Meera you think you knew. The Meera you grew up with was long gone and what remained was a selfish, secretive, and ambitious woman.”Ben frowned. He refused to believe that Meera had been playing him all these while. He thought he was on top of the game, only for her to send him falling with a heavy punch. He suddenly raised his head and looked at Vivian– she always had the best plans. “What should we do now? What if she gets a share of inheritance from my late grandfather?”

Suspended
At the gym.. “Greg, why do you have her in your holiday house?” Sonia questioned as she watched him on the treadmill.“Is this related to work?”“No, but– ““Then leave it be.” Sonia swallowed the bitter taste in her mouth. How could she leave it be? Another woman had effortlessly stolen what she’s been watching out for, for years! Did Meera know the sacrifices she made to be able to stick by his side? Did Meera know how many times she schemed against the females around him to be able to become the only woman around him? Was Greg someone Meera could have? How dare she?! Sonia took a deep breath and a moment later, she was calm and elegant like she’s always been. “Mrs. Carl won’t like her. She’d be pissed if you don’t marry Rosie.” She wasn’t fond of Rosie either, but Rosie was a small matter compared to Meera. If she could talk him out of his stupid idea of being with Meera, she could also make him shove Rosie away. “You’re suspended,” Greg spat without looking back at her. Sho

Family fights
Mr and Mrs Carl gave birth to five boys and two girls with the hopes of having a large family. Among the children and grandchildren, the majority came with their wives, husbands, Son-in-laws, daughter-in-laws, and grandchildren. On one of the ‘L’ shaped sofas were Greg’s parents and three sisters. Sitting beside them on another ‘L’ shaped sofa were Greg’s first and second uncle with their families. Greg’s first uncle’s wife glanced around. Everyone in the family was present except for Greg, so she turned to Greg’s mother and asked, “Samantha, is your son not coming today? I reckon he’s been missing from the family function for the past months.”Before Greg’s mother could respond, another of her co sister-in-law, Carolyn chimed in. “He’s not the leader of the family yet, but the family functions had already turned a joke to him. I wonder what would happen when he finally begins to lead the family. Hmph!” she scoffed, picked up her tea cup and elegantly blew on it to not scald her ton

Matriarch Carl
In the family, only her children were seen as shameless, useless, and worthless because they don’t want to get involved in business, politics, and the country’s security. One of her sons chose to be a celebrity, Ronnie wanted to be a fashion designer but his exile complicated things for him. As for her only daughter, she chose to become a model. What is wrong with those careers? Indeed, her children don't make monetary contributions to the family, but her husband is a mayor and Ronnie has given the family a grandchild and another is on the way. Thick silence hung in the air after Madam Carolyn made that statement. Her husband frowned at her and so did the others. Although they tear each other down at every opportunity, calling Chloe a barren was a taboo in the family. Her condition was one of the many sacrifices that saved the family many years ago– even before Madam Carolyn was married into the family. “Who said that?!” Everyone simultaneously turned to the stairs, descending wit

Mrs. Carl
“Mother, please, don’t be angry. Greg will take care of his affairs well.” Samantha tried to smoothen the situation but the stubborn old woman wouldn’t give in. “If he was willing to handle his affairs like a grown up, I wouldn’t have bothered to get involved. You two, his mother and father are worthless. Look at your daughters, none of them are willing to settle down. Do you also want me to find them husbands too? Then what good would you two be if I find them husbands? I can’t believe this. Seth, in what way have I wronged you? Why are your children hell-bent on not giving me great grandchildren? Do you think I have a thousand years on my side? ... ““Grandma, who is it that has angered you again?” Greg’s warm voice suddenly drifted in from the entrance. The old woman’s serious expression loosened up a bit and her wrinkled lips curled up slightly. But the moment she lay her eyes on Greg, her face turned unsightly again and she yelled. “Who else would anger me to the point of deat

Awake
Greg returned to his holiday house immediately he received a call from the housekeeper. Arriving at the house, Meera was sitting with her back to the headboard. Greg stood by the door, staring at the woman who was chatting with her friend and brother. None of them noticed his presence. He was about to leave to avoid eavesdropping but stiffened when Maria asked Meera a question relating to him.“When did you intend to tell me that you knew Mr. Greg? What relationship do you two have?”“Except that he’s a big name in the country, I have no idea who he is and why he saved me.”“He likes you, can’t you tell?” David threw in his opinion while playing games on his phone.“What do you know about love?” Maria took a jab at him and scoffed.“Sister Maria, stop looking down on me. I’m master of ladies’ hearts,” he said proudly.“Is that so, then the king of England is my father,” she playfully rolled her eyes.It seemed they wouldn’t be talking about him. He turned and was ready to leave but fr
