Chapter 11 — The Grand Come back

****Megan's POV****It was time and the show had just begun.I stood in front of the mirror in the dressing room admiring the black glittering dress that hugged my body.“Wow, you look absolutely stunning,” Kai said, walking in. I spun around to see him staring at the dress dreamingly.“Thank you.” I smiled widely. “How’s everything going out there?”He made a sign with his fingers. “Going great, you'll be called in soon. Are you ready?”“Almost…” the make-up artist interrupted. “Sorry, I just need to touch up your make-up a bit.”Kai nodded, winking at me. “Make sure she looks her best self as always.” I smirked, shaking my head.*******An hour later, Kai and I stood by each other's side as the curtains opened, revealing us to the waiting crowd and elite as we stood at the high end of the stairs.Arms crossed.“Are you ready?” Kai whispered and I turned to him, smiling.“Let's do this.”“Ladies and gentlemen, welcome the mysterious Raven of Raven Vogue, Megan Cassano,” the host's

Chapter 12 — Her mystery man

****Joe's POV****“What the hell was I doing?” I slammed my head onto the steering of my car. “Where the hell am I going to? I look like a freaking clown right now.”Megan was back, hell and hearty, worse she was with someone knew and he stuck to her like a gum.Protecting and shielding her from the public, who the hell was he to her?I caught Carl's reflection from the side mirror approaching my car.“You're still here, thank goodness I thought you'd already left for Raven Vogue.”I sighed, unlocking the car and signalling that he could come in.He was strangely silent for a while.“You can say or ask whatever is on your mind, Carl, stop holding back, right now I need someone to smack me on the head so I can know if I'm dreaming or this really is a reality.”Wharp!My head resounded as Carl landed a hot slap on the back of my head.“Ow! Carl, what the hell?”“You asked for it?” He shrugged.“I'm your boss damn it! Do you know I can order your death right this minute?!”“Before you be

Chapter 13 — After the curtain falls

****Megan’s POV****The moment the grand opening ceremony ended, the moment the cameras finally stopped flashing in my face, the moment the noise died down… I swear my whole body just collapsed from the inside. I didn’t even wait for the crowd to clear before I hurried into the car and let Kai drive us home.As soon as the front door closed behind me, I let out a long breath I didn’t know I was holding.“Are you okay?” Kai asked from behind me. His tone was calm, too calm, like he already knew the answer.“Yeah…” I whispered, kicking off my heels and rubbing my sore ankles. “That was less messy than I thought. Thanks for having my back all through.”Kai walked past me and gently patted my back like he was trying to wake me from a bad dream.“You did great,” he said. “Now we wait…”He smirked—one of those slow, annoying smirks that revealed too much even though he wasn’t talking.I frowned. “Why do I feel like you’re more excited about this than I am?”He stepped closer, taking slow ste

Chapter 14 - Secrets and lies

****Joe's POV****I stormed into my dad’s study, slamming the door so hard I thought it might break off its hinges. My fists were shaking, and my head was spiraling with questions, anger, and disbelief.“Dad.” I yelled.He stood by the study window, leaning on his cane, calm as ever, as if I hadn’t just burst in like a hurricane.“What is it, Joe? You haven’t called me ‘Dad’ in a long time.” His voice was smooth, almost teasing, like he knew exactly what he was doing to me.I pinched my forehead, running my fingers through my hair, thinking thoughtlessly, trying to find the right words without yelling more than I already was.“You told me you had nothing to do with the man Megan is linked to. How could you hide something this serious from me?!”“What are you talking about?” His tone didn’t change, it was still annoyingly calm.“Oh, you’re just going to pretend you don’t know what I’m talking about?” I snapped, slamming my palm against the desk beside me for emphasis.He shrugged, slowl

Chapter 15 — His Beloved Gangster

****Megan's POV****Sleep never felt this far from reach and scarce. It wasn’t just the usual tiredness; it felt like my mind had run a marathon without my body moving at all. My thoughts had kept looping, replaying everything happening around me, all the noise, all the attention, all the drama I wished I could mute.I woke up to the sound of my phone ringing endlessly, its buzzing tone becoming the only alarm clock I apparently listened to these days. I didn’t even remember plugging it in last night, but there it was—fully charged, loud, and annoying.Endless messages. Calls and emails from blogs, reporters, and some unknown numbers that I didn’t even bother checking.And Kai.His name sat right there on the missed call list.He had left really late last night, after spending hours listening to me rant, cry, laugh, rant again—basically go through the human emotional spectrum twice. So seeing a missed call from him so early was strange. Kai barely slept, but even he wasn’t the type to

Chapter 16 — A cold reunion

****Megan’s POV****I stood ice-cold, staring at the man in front of me as my heart sank to my stomach. I couldn’t believe it. Joe was right here.“Joe…” My voice trailed off, uncertain whether it was anger, disbelief, or something else.He took slow, deliberate steps toward me, his face calm, unreadable.“Long time no see, wifey.”I smirked, furious at his guts to call me that.“Why do you look like you just saw a ghost? Relax.” He smirked, hands shoved casually in his pockets.“What are you doing here, Joe?” I demanded, trying to sound tougher than I felt.“That’s no way to treat your husband, Meg,” he said lightly.“What a joke.” I laughed, though my voice carried more bite than humor. “You’re not welcome here, Joe. Leave. Now.”“Alright, alright. I’m sorry for barging in. Didn’t start this properly. How have you been?”“That’s none of your business. Please leave before I call security.”He smirked again like he knew no one would challenge him.He took slow, measured steps closer,

Chapter 17 - Unspoken feelings

****Megan's POV****Morning crept in too fast. I had barely slept, and the memory of Joe showing up out of nowhere kept replaying in my head — the picture of his face and that vain smirk on the side of his lips that said he knew me too well.It annoyed me that he still thought of me as weak and easy. I’d show him I wasn’t that innocent, naïve girl he broke in the past.For this, I needed Kai’s help, but I needed to resolve things first before bringing him into it. Else, things could get messy.I sighed, unwrapping myself from the bedsheets. It was yet another day, and I had to face the world as a fighter, a single mom, and a business tycoon — a façade I had built.My mornings were always the same: shower, dress up, visit the kids’ room, kiss their cheeks before they left for school, and finally take a few minutes to breathe and reflect.When I finally checked my phone, I saw missed calls from Kai.Before I could call him back, the doorbell rang.“I’ll go check who’s at the door,” Kath

Chapter 18 — Unfinished Business

****Joe’s POV****I paced the entire circumference of my office, boiling in anger. Megan had completely humiliated me last night, making me feel small and beneath her.I caught Carl’s vain smirk from the corner of my eye, but I ignored him because I already knew what he was going to say.He was probably going to tell me he told me so. He lounged on the chair in my office, smiling like he knew everything.“Am I allowed to speak?” he coughed, laughing sarcastically.“Save your speech for yourself. I know exactly what you’re going to say.”“Then I might as well say it, right?” he smirked. “I mean, I was ready to guide you on how to handle a woman like Megan.”“A woman like Megan? What the hell does that even mean? Megan is no woman—she’ll forever remain that naïve girl who came at my beck and call.”He shook his head, then stood up, stretching his legs dramatically as he paced around me, pretending to be deep in thought. Then he came to stand directly in front of me and placed his two ha

Chapter 19 — The Appointment

****Megan’s POV****I stared at the note on my desk; it had been sitting there for days now, and yet all I could do was stare. I still couldn’t bring myself to call the number written on it.Family was everything, they said, but mine had sold me off and abandoned me. Was there still anything left to call family? I couldn’t even bring myself to answer that question.My mind wandered uselessly—from the number on the desk staring back at me to Kai, who had been completely ignoring me these past days. He hadn’t called, nor checked in, and that alone had put my mind in a fix. I regretted yelling at him that morning. Maybe I should’ve reacted softer.I sighed and reached for the telephone that started ringing loudly.“Yes?”“Ma’am,” my secretary’s voice came through. “Just calling to remind you of your appointment by 10 a.m. with Mr. J.”“The one his wife booked a measurement session for, right?”“Yes. He’s waiting in the waiting room for you.”“Alright. Sorry, my mind wanders endlessly. In

Chapter 20 — Loyal Bonds

****Megan’s POV****“Honeys,” I called out to my boys as they walked out of their classrooms with their caretaker.They broke free from the caretaker and ran to me.Their little legs padded across the bricked floors as they ran toward me, their eyes shining in excitement.“Momma!” they chorused, running into my open arms.“My sweetlings.” I kissed each of them on their foreheads.“You came to pick us up today,” Cole grinned.“Oh yeah, I did. I promised, didn’t I?”“Yeah, you did.” They chuckled, their laughter warming my weakened heart.I turned to the caretaker who had finally reached us, she had their bags with her.“Welcome ma'am, here are their bags.”“Thank you” I greeted, she nodded and walked away.It had been so long since I last had a quiet moment with just me and the boys. With everything happening around me, I needed a break—just time with them.“Boys, guess what?” I grinned.I reached for the bag of ice cream in the backseat of the car and handed it over.“Tada!” I beamed.
