2024-05-19 10:57:59"Come on, Meghan, You know I've tried so many things just to make ends meet." Gavin tried explaining grabbing Meghan by the hand. If there was something he hated, it was having a fight with his wife. He loved her so much and was ready to do anything just to make her happy.
"You are well aware of the loan I took from the bank which I invested only to be swindled. It's not as if I'm not doing anything about our condition. I'm trying but it's not just working out." Gavin explained further.
"How long do I have to wait for things to work out?" Meghan asked.
"Very soon, babe. Things will fall in place soon. Just bear with me." Gavin replied offering her some assurance.
Meghan knew Gavin was really trying his best but the pressure and threat from her parents were almost getting the better of her. She's been facing consistent threats from her parents that she'll lose her job in the family's company if she doesn't divorce Gavin.
"Gavin, how soon is very soon?" Meghan asked.
Gavin could sense her frustration. He couldn't deny the fact that Meghan had really been supportive but luck wasn't just on his side.
In the midst of their argument, they heard a knock on the door.
"Who's there?" Gavin asked.
"It's the officials from Morano City Bank." A voice from outside replied.
At the mention of Morano City Bank, Gavin could almost hear his heart pound knowing fully well they had come for their loan repayment. Gavin had taken a loan of $2,000,000 to start up a real estate business using his family ancestral mansion as collateral but he lost all the money to swindlers in the guise of real estate Moguls.
He came out and met not just the bank officials but also some police men.
"Good evening, Mr Gavin." One of the bank officials greeted.
"Good evening," Gavin replied.
The senior bank official went straight to the point, "Your loan is long overdue for repayment but we've not heard anything from you," he said.
"Yes, Mr Gavin. We've given you enough time to repay but you're not making any effort to do so." Another bank official said.
"I'm working on paying back, I just need more time." Gavin pleaded.
"That's what you've been saying, Mr Gavin. This is the third time you're asking for more time and I'm sorry to say, we're not giving you that this time around." The senior bank official stated firmly.
"We're seizing your property in exchange for the money you borrowed from us. If you're not ready to comply with us, then the police will have to take you with them." The other official stated. Turning to the police officers, "Throw them out." He ordered.
"Wait!" Gavin interjected. He turned to face Meghan who had been rendered speechless from everything that has been happening.
"Officers, please give us more time. We'll definitely pay." Meghan pleaded.
"Madam, we've been giving your husband time to pay up this loan. We're a bank and not a charity organisation. I'm sorry," the senior official said.
"Officers, go ahead and throw them out." He ordered.
Gavin felt as though his world was crumbling around him as the thought of losing his family's ancestral mansion dawned on him. He had made a solemn promise to his father to protect it at all costs.
"Please, don't do this to us," Gavin pleaded. But his pleas fell on deaf ears as the police officers proceeded to forcibly remove them from the property.
"Don't do this to us!" Meghan joined in begging. But the police remained unmoved by their pleas.
"Take them out," the senior official ordered angrily, feeling irritated by Gavin's plea.
"I'll be back to reclaim my property. I promise you that!" Gavin declared facing the bank officials.

"Congratulations, Sophie. I'm so proud of you," Oliver Stallion said warmly as he and his wife, Katherine, sat with Sophie for dinner that evening.Sophie, Meghan's younger sister, had recently become engaged to Harry Styles, one of the youngest self-made millionaires in the region of Domingo. Additionally, she had just been promoted to the position of the new human resource manager of the family's company, a testament to her meritocracy, dedication, and above all, her loyalty to her parents."Thank you, Dad," Sophie replied, her smile radiating with happiness."What about Harry? Isn't he joining us for dinner anymore?" Katherine inquired."Harry called to say he'd be arriving a bit late. He's with a friend, and they're probably coming together for dinner," Sophie explained."Is that so?" Oliver mused, nodding in understanding."Yes, Father. But I know he'll be here soon," Sophie reassured them.They heard the doorbell ring. "That must be Harry and his friend." Sophie said getting up

Shamefully, Gavin entered the house, recalling Oliver's stern warning that he never wanted to see him there again after he and Meghan had gotten married against his wishes."What are you doing here?" Oliver demanded as Gavin approached him in the dining room, his tone laced with irritation.The atmosphere in the room had grown tense, with everyone losing their appetites upon Gavin and Meghan's uninvited arrival."Father, I'm sorry for coming uninvited. I only followed Meghan down. I didn't mean to interrupt the family dinner," Gavin apologized, his voice filled with remorse."But you just did. And all because your father's mansion is likely to be taken over by the bank in exchange for the loan you couldn't pay back," Oliver retorted, his annoyance palpable."I'm sorry... They actually took the mansion, and now we're homeless," Gavin admitted, his head bowed in shame at the thought of losing the ancestral home he had promised his father he would protect."So, what do you want us to do?

Oliver gestured for Harry not to pay attention to what he felt was going wrong. His attention turned to the young man who had come in with Harry. He was a young handsome man who appeared wealthy and quite fashionable."This is my friend, James Nenma, he is the CEO of Tellex corporation," Harry introduced."Wow!" Katherine exclaimed.Tellex was one of the most prominent multinational companies in Domingo and seeing the CEO as a very young man who was also a friend of Harry gave her goosebumps."Nice to meet you," Katherine greeted."Same here, ma'am. We're sorry for coming late for the dinner. Harry and I took a brief stop at the mall to get something for Sophie. I also got something for you too." James said, handing over the shopping bag he was holding. Katherine was flattered. The fact that a gentleman she had not met before buying her a gift made her beam with joy. Her surprise increased by the sight of what was in the bag. A beautiful jewellery box which housed an expensive neckla

"Are you serious about that?" Katherine asked excitedly. The thought of having James Nenma as her son in-law was overwhelming. She immediately began to paint the future of the Stallions having two wealthy son in-laws."Mom, will you please stop this?" Meghan managed to speak up. Gavin clenched his fists and turned to Meghan, "I'm sorry Meghan that I have to be a laughing stock and to bring you so much embarrassment.""Whatever," Sophie scoffed."I'll be leaving now. I promise to do everything in my power to get our house back. I'll resolve this. I promise you that." Gavin assured her.Gavin left the Stallions apartment that evening feeling so stupid for following Meghan down to her parents place. He blamed himself for hoping that the Stallions would help him with his debt when he knew very well how much they despised him.As he walked through the city streets that evening, his thoughts were clouded with the promise he had made to his father. He came to a small inn where he could spen

As the sun hid behind the clouds that same evening, it dawned upon Gavin that he had no where to stay for the night. His stomach had been crying all day but his pocket had denied him of attending to it's cry. He remembered he had used the last ten dollars on him the previous night to get a place at the inn. Left with no option, he made the tough decision to return to his in-laws and to beg if they'd allow him to sleep at their security/servant quarters.The thought of walking almost ten kilometres to his in-laws place didn't bother him too much provided he could just get a place to lay his head for the night. The streets of Domingo were their usual that evening - perfect for couples to go out and have fun. Every restaurant he walked past was occupied with beautiful and lovely couples enjoying the evening together. He thought of Meghan wondering how she was faring. He had not heard from her since he left her at her parents place the previous day.Walking past one of the most expensive

"I'm really sorry," Gavin pleaded seeing how infuriated Meghan had become because of his behaviour earlier inside the restaurant. He only acted the way he did because of his love for her and his fear that James would take Meghan away from him."What were you thinking?" Meghan sighed."I love you so much, Meghan. I don't know if I'll be able to continue living if you ever leave me," Gavin admitted.Meghan knew how much Gavin really loved her even without him saying it. She too loved him so much and would do whatever it'll take to fight for that love. But with her parents threats and pressure to leave Gavin and marry someone else, she didn't know how if love alone would be enough to save her marriage with Gavin."Gavin, I know you love me and I don't doubt that but this isn't about love anymore. Love doesn't pay the bills Gavin, money does. And if you continue this way, I might have to leave you at the end of the day," Meghan expressed truthfully.Gavin wouldn't deny the fact that Megha

The sun rose earlier than usual on that beautiful Tuesday morning. Unlike every other day, Meghan had planned her day before hand. After she returned from her date with James the previous night, which Gavin had ended up interrupting, she decided to focus on making herself more useful to her parents company. Her issues with Gavin had lingered on for quite too long and it was weighing her down. She had made a mental note of all that she had in mind to do that Tuesday. First, she'd meet with a new client and then visit the saloon to have her hair well made.Sophie had taken the day off and since she wouldn't be going to the office, Meghan decided to borrow her car. The cost of public transport was quite on the high side and with Sophie's car she could save a few dollars for other things she might want to do later."Hey, Sophie, do you have plans this morning?" Meghan inquired."What plans?" Sophie asked, unable to understand what Meghan was talking about."I mean, do you have plans of g

Meghan lay on her bed, staring at the ceiling, the harsh words from her family echoing in her mind. She felt trapped, torn between her loyalty to Gavin and the increasing strain on her relationship with her family. The threat of being fired from the family's business weighed heavily on her, and she wished Gavin could understand the pressure she was under.She picked up her phone, hesitating for a moment whether she should dial Gavin's number or not. She wanted to know how he was doing and where he was staying at the moment. She debunked the idea, opting to call one of her team members at the office.She told the team member to tell the other members of the team to go ahead with the assignments they were supposed to work on together, informing her that she won't be coming around to the office anymore.Sitting alone in her room, Meghan couldn't hide the emotional turmoil churning within her. On one hand, she desperately wanted to earn her parents' pride and approval, just as Sophie had.

Then he asked her why Gavin gave her an emerald pendant, which surprised Meghan because she had not told anyone about it except the commander who saw it, but the news had spread quickly and now the fixer was aware of it."What exactly did he tell you the pendant was for?" The fixer inquired of Meghan to see if she remembered who Gavin was and what their relationship meant to them."No, he said it was a reward for saving his life; should I return it and hope I do not get into trouble for accepting it?"
