Chapter 31“Are you sure your uncle is okay with this arrangement?” Doctor Maya asked while Owen was quietly taking his dinner, he dropped his cutlery and raised his head to look at her. “I mean you have to see his face, he didn’t look happy about it when I came in with my box, that left me thinking if I should go back to my apartment, perhaps I would be able to take care of you from afar” she added.“What if I ate poison, and it will take time for me to reach you, don’t you think I will be dead before you come here?” Owen asked and she was quiet.Owen had offered her a large amount of money asking her to move into his house, hoping she could always be there to take care of him when need be, she was skeptical about the whole arrangement, but she had to agree when Owen mentioned he trusts no other person like he trusts her, and she is the one who wanted to protect him.Doctor Maya felt the money was good and since she is single and lives alone in her not-so-good-looking apartment, she d

Chapter 34Megan suddenly opened her eyes and groaned, she felt a sharp headache and a bandage tapped around her leg, she looked around and noticed she was in the hospital, she almost screamed at the annoying beeping of the machine in the room.“Who is there?” she forced herself to say and looked around hoping she could see anyone who was going to help her, but there was no one around, just when she was about to press the emergency button, she noticed the door open and she stopped.She tilted her head to see Martin and her not, he stepped inside the room. “Oh, my baby!” Rebecca said and quickly walked over, she sat down on the bed and placed her hand on his head. “I am glad you are okay, I thought something bad was going to happen to you, I wouldn’t have spared that man if anything happened to you,” Rebecca said and Megan forced a chuckle.“I am fine except for the headache and the bandage wrapped around my legs,” Megan replied and Martin moved closer.“I called your mother as soon a

Chapter 36Owen yawned as he stood up from the bed, he went to his bathroom to take his bath, as soon as he was done. He went back to his room to get ready for the day’s work. He went to the sitting room and the maid prepared him a hot coffee, he was busy sipping the coffee when he decided to watch the news.He grabbed his remote and turned on the television, he relaxed on the chair and listened “We are glad to have you here with us today Miss Charles, even with her recent accident and just discharge from the hospital she had granted us the audience to speak with her regarding her ongoing case with Mr. Hudson Owen, the CEO of Roeye Empire” Owen heard the newscaster said, and his eyes widened in shock.He hadn’t expected Megan to go to the television station again regarding this issue, so he took his phone, dialing Mr. Reynold's contact immediately. “I was about to call you immediately I saw the news,” Mr. Reynold said, he picked up the call and Owen started pacing about in his room.“

Chapter 38“They are going to drag me down” Maya cried and Owen threw the phone on the couch as the contact wasn’t connecting.“You should calm down Doctor Maya, I can assure you that they won’t be able to do anything to you, I am going to assure you that, do you understand?” Owen said, and Maya barely sighed. Her heart was rising and falling at the same time.She knows the power of the media and since everyone believes Megan is innocent, they are going to find a way to drag her down, and who knows, she might lose her work. Her body was busy shaking, and she could hardly maintain her stance, so she tried to walk away while Owen held her hand, halting her step. “Just calm down, I am sorry. I regret dragging you into this” Owen said and Maya forced a smile.“You said you are going to make sure nothing happens to me,” Maya said and Owen nodded. “Then I will be holding you to your words, okay?” she said, and Owen smiled widely.“Thank you” he muttered “I will go back to my room,” Maya s

Chapter 40“She must really mean so much to you, huh?” the caller teased and Owen’s hand around the steering wheel became tightened, he was barely restraining himself from screaming on the phone and ending the call.He wanted to be sure about where Maya was before taking any course of action. “Just tell me where she is and what do you want?” he muttered this time around, his voice calmer than it was before, realizing his anger wasn’t going to take him anywhere, and he had to talk calmly to get what he wanted.“I will tell you where you can get her, but first I want you to arrange a fifteen billion dollars, for the exchange of the doctor” the caller said and Owen's brows furrowed, he was clearly losing his patience.“What? What do you mean I should send you fifteen billion dollars?” he asked, and the caller burst into laughter. “Your time is ticking Mr. Hudson, you have less than a day to arrange the money or kiss the doctor goodbye, you should choose between which is more important t
