"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
Gavin was overjoyed that his wife had won the challenge against her sister Sophia, and he was about to go home and celebrate with her on their newfound victory when he received a call from the underground network over which he was in charge."It is an emergency meeting, Boss," one of the boys in the underground network said in an urgent tone."All right, I will be there soon," Gavin said with a hint of irritation in his voice.Gavin was irritated by the call because he had planned to welcome his wife with a special setting at home, as well as to cook for her and consummate their marriage again with her, to remind her that he was still the best choice she had made and was worth fighting for.He had a flashback to his promise to his father about living a normal life and forgetting about their wealth; he reasoned that if the Stallions knew how wealthy and influential he was, they would not treat him the way they have.He was also angry at them for constantly instigating his wife to not b
When Gavin heard the sound of breaking glass, he was so taken aback that he grabbed his knife and bolted toward the parlor.Before he could call the police, he wanted to find out who the intruder was and why they had the audacity to break into his house.To his surprise, he was struck in the head with a heavy stick as soon as he entered the parlor, collapsing to the floor and losing consciousness.The men who had come to take him were a little afraid that they had killed him, and the other man was also a little afraid. He asked the man who had hit him to see if the man was still breathing, and the man informed him that the plan was not to kill him but rather to simply kidnap him in order to establish his authority over the group.The person who stroked Gavin was terrified as well, but he defended himself by saying that Gavin would have killed both of them at once and that their group would have suffered a great loss if he had made that move.He bent down to see if Gavin was still brea
