To Gavin what was happening around him was nothing but mere noise, generated by none other than his inlaws who clearly did not like him and had orchestrated everything to see that he did not end up with their daughter and sister.

The only person he wanted and, as he thought, needed to hear from, was none other than Meghan, who sat quietly at the corner, but was also visibly shaking on the wooden chair she sat on.

He turned to her, ignoring all the blaming and finger pointing from all the other members of the family, and placed his hand on her quivering shoulder. "It's going to be alright. Do not worry about this, I will fix it. I promise you."

Meghan stirred her neck to his side, and after that came her palm waving through the air, landing painfully on Gavin's cheek. She had given him a real resounding slap.

"Don't you dare touch me, after what you just did" she screeched at him. He took a step back with hands hanging on the cheek of his face as well.

Everybody around him mumbled a

    "Alright, that's enough of your promises young man" Mr. Stallion said, clearly annoyed. "Get out of of my house and never come back here. We have given you all the chance we could give. You have failed to make good with any one of them, hence you should just leave. If you do not, then I have no choice than to call the police on you. I say this again, get the hell out of my house."Mr. Stallion feared that with everything Gavin had pulled in the past few weeks, including attending an event with a Rolls-Royce, having the daughter of the Chief of Police as an acquaintance, and being able to pull himself out every problem that have landed on his chores, it clearly would not be too hard for him to do something such as to drag himself and Meghan out of the mess she was now in. He had had suspicions about Gavin, and did not want to take any chances even if chasing him out of the house was the only way to do such."You do not have to worry about that" Harry said at once, his face in a very s

    "It's okay, Meghan" Gavin said to her, knowing that she still did not see much of a good thing in the Idea her sister was proposing. She looked at him, the look of disgust she had for him had faded, and now her face just seemed to be blank. "I accept. I will fix things up, don't worry.'She did not say anything to him, even though she wanted to ask again how he was going to do anything when he could not really do anything for himself, but he seemed so sincere and serious in his words that it seemed like a waste of time asking the questions.He left here and without a single word, left the house."Good riddance" Harry said aloud, his voiced echoing in the quietness of the room, and soon the room got filled with laughter.Meanwhile, outside of the building when Gavin was out, he did not go back home immediately. Rather he branched at a cafe where he decided he would stay and talk to Brax Connelly. He was angry but he really did not want to show it in any form. He thought a few drinks

    "Alright. I will do just that." Brax nodded, picking up the telephone at once. Gavin smiled dryly and left the office, seeing that Brax was already on to the task. "Mr Adrian, meet me in my office now."The call was immediately hung up after those words. Adrian squinted in confusion, the telephone still in his hand. Brax's tone was awfully official, and somewhat harsh. He wondered what warranted such an urgent call. Immediately, he got off his seat, adjusted his tie a bit and dusted his suit off any dent before walking out the door of his office."Come in, Adrian." Brax said loudly after hearing the knock on his door. He knew it was Adrian because he was the only one who still knocked on the door, even when it had been announced that one could come in without knocking, if he or she was summoned."Yes sir. You called for me." He said calmly with an uncertain smile. His two hands remained behind his back as he stood upright."Yes." Brax answered coldly. His eyes moved from the table to

    The next day came like any other, rapid and bright. A young man in a black overall stood in the garden of the Stallion home. He had a pair of garden scissors in his hands. And no fat from where he stood, some other gardening tools laid. Harry's car stopped right outside and immediately, he rushed in. Both hands in his pockets as he glided gracefully, yet swiftly."Good morning, sir." The maid said immediately, moving to the side with her head down. He nodded as he walked into the house, not replying her with any real words. The living room was empty. And for some reason, I seemed like nobody had been there that morning."Beth." He called the maid's name softly, his eyes roaming the room. "Where is everyone? Where is Sophie?""They are in the dinning room, sir. Having breakfast." She answered gently."Alright." He nodded and waved her away as he walked to the dinning area. "Good morning, everyone." He said with a wide smile, the look he was missing while talking to the maid. "Good mo

    "Umm..." She started, her eyes beaming with delight as everyone at the table stared at her curiously. "Of course, I am still interested.""That's great. I will be expecting you at the office then. Thank you.""Thank you too." She said slowly as she put down the phone in the same manner. "It was the director. He just apologised and asked if I was still interested in the deal." She was smiling so much."That is... That is absolutely great." Mrs Stallion said with a smile. The wrinkles on her forehead and cheeks dramatically marked."I know, right?" Sophie added happily as she held on to Harry once more."I knew it! I knew it! I knew it!" Meghan said immediately. "Gavin said it and he did it. He got back the deal." She smiled."Umm... No, he didn't." Sophie interrupted immediately. Her doubtful eyes stayed on her sister's face."Yes, he did. We were all here when he came yesterday, weren't we? And you were the one who asked him to rectify the issue. And now, he did it.""He didn't do th

    Meghan sat still, her arms folded over each other. There was a light frown on her face. And in her head, a lot went on. It wasn't a new thing for her family to speak down on Gavin that way. But the difference this time was that it hurt more than other times."Alright." Mr and Mrs Stallion walked in again and took their seats. "We are ready to go. Is there anything else we need, son?""I don't think so, sir.""Alright." He smiled and cleared his throat. "We should be on our way soon, then. It's good to know that the deal is now secured. Right, dear?" He turned to his wife."Yes, you are right." She replied. "I would have thought this was a miracle if I didn't know who did it.""Absolutely true." He chuckled and turned to his daughter. The frown on her face was visible."All thanks to Harry, of course. He made all this possible." Sophie smiled and looked at him. Her eyes caught view of her sister's long face but she looked away immediately. "Why the face, Meghan? Shouldn't you be happy

    Mr Stallion was furious with the way his daughter was in love with Gavin, and he and his wife - Mrs Stallion - began to consider what to do next about their daughter's marriage. They had tried to break the marriage twice before, but both times were unsuccessful, so they decided to try someone new with much more character and vigour, silently hoping that he would be the one to finally destroy Meghan's marriage."I think we should try setting her up with Noah Davis, he is a young handsome guy who just finished his master's degree in business strategy at Oxford in London. I heard from my friends that he is looking to settle down and is moving back to the United States." Mrs. Stallion informed her husband of Megahan's new opportunity and hoped he was a good fit for what they wanted to accomplish." Hmm, I feel he might just be the person we have been looking for, and I am confident that he will finally set our daughter's head straight and make her see reasons to leave that wretched husban
