It was almost 10am that morning. The sky was brightly lit by the hot, yellow sun, beaming its light against all that roamed the world beneath it. Gavin left the house in a hurry. He was on his way to see his wife. The day before, she wasn't in so much of a good mood and didn't want to see him. But he hoped that she would this time around.Barely an hour later, he arrived at her parents' house. The environment looked peaceful and serene like it always did. He walked slowly towards the door, wondering if he would be let in this time. He knocked on the door, and the maid that had opened the door for him before stood in the door way."Who is it, Beth?" He heard someone ask. It seemed to be Meghan's mother asking. The maid closed the door before she answered."It is the man from yesterday." She said in an irritated manner."What man?" She asked further with a frown on her face. "The one who forced his way in. I think he came to see ma'am Meghan.""Well, tell the bastard to leave at once.
"Is it about my job?" He scoffed in disbelief. "What makes you think I haven't been serious with it? I work my ass off just so I can provide everything you want because I don't want you to lack anything. I try my best to prove to your family that I am good enough to be your husband.""But you...""Who on earth told you that I have been rolling with touts? Harry and James? Well, I am not surprised. They have been trying everything they could just to paint me bad to your parents. I love you, Meghan. And I promise you, I would never do anything to hurt you. I'd rather have anything hurt me than you."Meghan placed her hands over her mouth as tears welled up in her eyes. She tried to speak but her words came out as mumbles."You don't have to say anything, dear. You don't." He walked towards her and wrapped his arms around her, drawing her in to his chest to comfort her. But suddenly, she pushed him away. She walked out of the large balcony, in to the sun and he followed her. She walked f
Megan stared up at him. Her pretty face brimming with so much curiosity coupled with something else, something that Gavin could have understood to be anger, but it was not. Her eyes held him up, as though she was trying to read into his eyes, to see into his soul, and decipher for herself if he was truly telling the truth. She stood up from the bench on which she had been sitting on. It seemed as if she had not found anything within her husband's eyes that could signal that he was lying to her. Nothing at all. He did not respond to her, as she walked before him and stopped halfway just right in front of him, with her back turned and her arms folded. She seemed to be in the middle of some great thinking activity. Suddenly, she turned towards him, staring at his face."This Scarlett of a woman, judging from the name you refer to her as and everything you have told me about her, I am beginning to consider that she is the one behind my attack. I certainly do not have anyone in mind who
"How are you going to break the news to them?" Gavin asked, his face ridden with concern as he held her hand as if trying to stop Meghan from walking back into the house to go see her parents. "I will have to tell them somehow." She looked up at him softly. She kissed him again on his lips. They stood frozen in motion. "Okay." Gavin said, his words were empty, with a shadow of doubt still lingering in the background. She broke away from him to go inside, but their fingers were still entwined, so that both their pinkies served as a hook that kept the both of them still in contact as she moved away, untill they broke away, and their pinky connection, snapped like a twig.Gavin watched her as she went in, trying to resist the feeling that he really might not see her again. She got back to the sitting room where her parents were. They looked at her plainly. Their eyes were questioning, and she expected them to start pouring down the questions as best as they could."So? Tell us what
She had this innocent, yet longing look in her eyes. One that Gavin could swear that he knew. But he wasn't just going to jump into conclusions yet. He had just brought her home after a huge disagreement and didn't want to mess it up.They were both sitting on the couch. His hands rested gently on her shoulder as he stared into her welcoming eyes. She smiled back at him, warmly. Her eyes had a certain spark to them and anyone could tell that she was in love. "So..." She finally broke the silence, even though she didn't know what she wanted to say. She smiled sheepishly as she shook her head"Yes?" Gavin leaned forward in a concerned manner. She had suddenly gone silent at the beginning of her speech."Oh, nothing. I don't know." She giggled and hid her face behind her palm for a second."Alright." He nodded and stood up. "Did you have breakfast already? There's something for us to eat and...""And what?" She interrupted in a very calm tone. Slowly, she got to her feet, a seductive sm
As he worked his fingers in her, he could feel his groin harden against his trousers. He immediately grabbed her off the counter and took her in his arms, then he walked to their bedroom. Gently, he laid her on the bed, before proceeding to take his trousers off.Meghan bit her lips in pleasure as she watched him. But something was missing. Just then, she realized that the irritation she usually felt towards him was indeed what was missing. She was looking directly at him and didn't feel an iota of anger or irritation towards him. Instead, she laid there, desperate for his touch. It only made her think of when they had first gotten married, and now.Everything that had been happening had made her distant from him, and it was no surprise that a critical part of their couple life was almost nonexistent. She couldn't remember the last time her husband made love to her, and it was not because he did not want to, rather it was because the thought of having him that close to her made her sk
Mr. and Mrs. Stallion were incredibly distraught at the action of their daughter, Meghan. They did not expect that she would make such a terrible decision to ruin her life all in the name of love.That morning, her father walked with his hands hung behind him. His body bent like that of a vulture that was seeking for food. He kept muttering things to himself.His wife, Mr. Stallion, although equally as disappointed as her husband found herself more calm than him. Her eyes followed him up and down the room."Hunny, you should not worry so much after whatever that daughter of ours wants to do with herself." Mrs. Stallion began. "It's not worth a damn thing and you know that. Everyone can damn see that we have tried out best. We have given her and her sister more than we could. We gave them the best education, the best of everything, and just like that, she intends to ruin it for some good for nothing man she met from nowhere, a man who clearly does not know his left and his right."Mr.
Sophie knew that her father was angry. Of course, it was for the sake of that her good for nothing sister, Meghan. Although she did not want to admit it, she was beginning to really hate her. What she did was unforgivable, and to make matters worse, now she had to do this task."All I have ever done is what they tell me to do." Sophie lamented, with a cigarette out of her lips, to Harry, a table sitting right between them. "But because of my stupid sister, there they are treating me like fucking dirt. I do not deserve this, Harry. I don't. These people are stressing my life out."Harry watched her take the cigar out of her mouth and put it on the table. "Does Meghan know about this?""How the fuck should I know? I believe they must have told her
During dinner, a broadcast was sent informing them that their results would be ready in the morning and asking them to get dressed because they either qualified or were going home.It was heartbreaking for some, but the head of the supreme boss council could not take chances when it came to team selection for Gavin am. He knew that any opposition or opportunists would take advantage of the opportunity to influence the results, so he deployed an immersion squad to ensure that there was no foul play.This announcement put everyone on edge, and some delegates formed cliques to plan how they would hack into the portal and change their results, while others planned to falsify their results from the edivals unit office by bringing one of the officials.After dinner, they were given an hour to network and explore the headquarters; while some areas were off limits, the majority of the area was accessible to them.Unbeknownst to the delegate, this hour after dinner was a trap set by Gavin to s
The fixer had kept Harry in a prison box alongside Meghan while he waited for a response from the chairman. After some time had passed and the fixer had not heard anything, he began to consider how he would profit greatly from capturing Harry's styles.Sophia overheard the fixer's condition and asked the chairman to do whatever it took to save her fiancé, adding, "I can not live without him and I want him back no matter the cost." Sophia's statement did not help matters because the chairman was under a lot of pressure to decide the best action to take while still considering Harry's life.The chairman had drank a lot of bourbon to calm his nerves and open his eyes to think of a strategic way out of the situation, but no ideas came to him, so he looked at the timer and waited for the fixer to call them back so he could call off the deal.He called his staff to prepare the letter he requested, and he said something that piqued the chairman's interest: "How sure are we that Harry is aliv
Noah's personal assistant was surprised to see him speaking with another lady, and he wondered why his boss was always drawn to women, even after what they had put him through.He decided that it was not his business or in his place to advise his boss, so he chose to take a path of silence and watching. While he was going to get the signature from the athlete, he wonders if the child was the boss's own because he had never shown this much commitment to anyone or anything other than his work, and they recently had not had much to do, so they had free time to talk and interact.He chose to remain calm and focused on his assignment, and luckily, the athlete was still shooting and had retired to his caravan to rest before they did the next shots. Noah's personal assistant saw the opportunity and immediately recognized that it was his boss who had called him earlier, and he was astounded by how much the athlete respected his boss, which increased his own admiration for him.He returned to
Gavin was pleased with the number he got and told his marking team that they had the privilege to end the text if the others could not find the 2 keys that were left. The time was moving very fast and most of the delegates began to feel the pressure of not qualifying to the next round.One of the delegate was still searching the entrance section when he found one of the two keys and he quickly ran to the chest stand to secure his box but on his way there he was shot at the back and the shot was directly on his heart and he fell to the ground and started bleeding The other delegates were so surprised at the sudden move made by the delegate he had been saving his bullets to use them at the right time , he was very happy that he had finally gotten a key after searching for so longHe wasn't remorseful with the way he murdered the delegate that had the key , he quickly took the key from his bloody hand and then took the chest and then cursed at the remaining delegate before walking out
After the first lady received her own chest, the competition among the other teams became fierce, and they all wanted to obtain their own chest and secure a spot on the 19 slots available, but it was not as simple as it appeared.Most of them tried holding the lady used, but it did not work until another person looked through the Archery section and discovered another key; the problem now was getting the key through all of the other delegate without dying.Fortunately for him, he had a gun and had already defeated his samurai, so it was a one-way ticket for him; as soon as they saw his key, a lot of them started running towards him, and he did not know how to stop them, so he shot in the air to calm them down, and then shot at Gavin, breaking the first layer of glass protecting himEveryone was taken aback by the delegate's boldness, and the other judges wanted to charge him with treason, but Gavin calmed them down, and by the time the other delegate attempted to re-capture the delega
Noah was grateful that Mel had given him the opportunity to be a part of this, and he knew that it was exactly what he needed at the time. He considered Kelly and what she would do next, but his thoughts were interrupted by Mel when she asked him if he was the one who sent the truck because their Parents and Teachers group could not stop talking about the mystery man who brought a food truck to a kids' practice match.She wondered what made him show so much love and affection for her daughters, and she did not like being pitted, so she wanted to make sure he was not doing things for them out of sympathy, because that would break her heart.Noah was a little shy to tell her his reason because he did not know why he was doing things for her, but all he knew was that he was not going to break his promise to her daughter, and he was also feeling butterflies for Mel, which was unlike anything he had ever felt before, not even with Meghan.He said, "The truck was an apology for being late a
Meghan knew that whatever decision she made would have deep consequences, and she had taken her time to weigh all her choices and their outcomes, because in the long run, she was going to be the bearer of the consequences of her decisions.She had already recovered 80% from the injury she sustained while protecting Gavin on the day she was scheduled for a virtual meeting with the fixer, and she knew she needed to be more on her feet despite her pain in order to avoid being thrown aside.The commander admired Meghan's courage and fighting spirit, and she was astounded by how Meghan dressed herself before she arrived to dress her. She saw her struggle a little, but she eventually got herself dressed."Oh, Commander! You are here!”Megah said to the commander, surprised, because as she turned to get her belt, she noticed the commander watching her and saluted him; the commander had come to fetch her for the virtual meeting and had also used it as an excuse to check on her.She could not c
The marking team member stated, "The riddle goes like this: I am the biggest person in this room, but you can not see me, I am everywhere, but you can not see me, and you can not go a day without me, but you can not see me." The riddle given by the marketing team member was simple, but it contained complexities, and the delegate was determined to find their own treasure chest.At the sound of the buzzer, they were all released to begin the game. There were no rules because it was a survival game, and the guns were loaded with actual bullets unknown to the delegate, but Gavin wanted to see how desperate they were to be on his team and how well they could defend themselves.Each gun had 15 bullets, 10 for shots and 5 for protection, but the arrows were all 15 for them to use. The game began, and the delegates all rushed to get their guns and take positions, with some getting dressed in their gear and others shooting right away.One of the delegates counted his bullets and noticed that h
Noah liked both ideas and hired a food truck to go to Mel's daughter's practice ground so that he could serve everyone there for free. He then contacted one of his clients and asked for a favor, promising that his personal assistant would go to their location to get it.The day was finally going well and as planned, the food truck arrived at the practice ground, and the organizers were perplexed as to who had let the truck in, but when the truck explained, they let him in, and one of the staff said, "Mel is so lucky to find a man who cares about her and her daughter like this, Gosh!”"I am so envious!"Another employee interrupted the lady's conversation and told her to focus on their work because they were gossiping while people were on their table who needed assistance.The staff was a little upset and grumpily started responding to the people at her table, but she could not wait to see who the man was, and she was planning on stealing the man from Mel if she did not know what to do
