Immediately Gavin heard his name being mentioned on the phone, he knew exactly what was coming for him. He knew for certain that this would happen."I'm sorry, Meghan," he began. "But it seems we are going to have this conversation later. I have somewhere to be.""Somewhere?" Meghan's brows were raised in suspicion. "You have been doing some very secretive things recently. I know that you do not have work to go to untill tomorrow. Where is this place that is so important than what we are talking about that you have to be?”"You don't need to know. Just trust me."Trust? Meghan did not even trust the word trust. She hardly knew what he was up to, and the incident in the salon had ignited something in her heart that she did not want to admit to him about. The jealousy had made her more territorial than she ever was with him, and even now, she had fears that he might as well be leaving her to go see one of the women from the salon. She could not trust him. There were way too many things

It was already late in the night when Meghan received a call from her husband. The moment she heard the ring tone, she could already tell for no reason whatsoever that he was in trouble. There was no way to explain it for her. It was sort of like an electric feeling that moved through her nerves.She picked up the phone, listened to what he had to say and dropped the phone back on the table. She put her hands on her waist. And then her lips. And then on her forehead. She could feel the anxiety surge up as sweat dropped of her face.Once again, he had gotten himself into trouble, she thought. How was she going to go about it? That night, she had to put on something comfortable enough to shield her from the cold of the night, and went out to meet her husband who was in police custody.She cursed as he walked down the road.She went to the police station and saw him in the new clothes he had bought, while he looked pitifully through the bars. There was a little smile crawling into his

On the way out of the police station, Meghan saw a woman come in. She looked familiar with her ginger colored hair but Meghan could not tell where exactly she had met her. She did not have the time to scatter through her mind searching for irrelevant things like where she met a familiar stranger. She left her husband in a cell, ignored his pleading for help. Certainly, ignoring a stranger would not be that hard.The woman coming in as well had recognized her face, but ignored Meghan also, remembering that she was the troublesome woman that was shouting at her husband in the salon. She absolutely wanted nothing to do with her, and moved ahead without exchanging a single word of greeting.The woman went into the station and saw a young man with his back turned towards her. His shape and certain other features seemed to resemble so much the husband of the woman she had just seen outside of the vicinity while coming in."You heard her, go back inside," one of the policemen said in a ver

Gavin watched her walk away, even more passionately angry than how he thought his wife should have been. He wondered why she felt angry about it, and more than that he wondered what she would be able to do, as mere looking at her, she seemed rather unreliable to him.She had ginger colored hair with very red-brown eyes. Red hair was not a common feature in hair. He could clearly see that she was not particularly common either.His hands held tightly to the bars when the police officer serving as a guard for that night said to him, "You should thank your lucky stars that the daughter of the Chief of Police likes you. You really are one lucky mother fucker, you."Gavin gave him no reply, and just let his head dangle once more on the bars. He did not feel as lucky as the police guard was touting. Look at him, he thought. In jail, abandoned by his wife, and unable to do anything about it, because he made a promise to his grandfather to keep the family wealth a secret."Making money is so

Gavin was set free from the cell and allowed to go. He was about going outside when he heard the high pitched voice of a woman calling on him."Hey, wait up. Just wait for me outside. I'm coming." She flicked her ginger red hair, and continued the conversation and scolding she was having and or giving to the lieutenant.Gavin had no choice than to wait. She was his savior after all. He stood outside, laid his body on a wall and watch the stars dotting the night sky. For some reason he wished to see a shooting star, although he knew that the chances of getting to see that was slim.She came outside of the station, spotted him laying on the wall and called out again. "Hey. How are you doing?" "I think it is quite obvious how I am doing." His reaction was calm. She was visibly blushing just looking at him."Okay," she said to him, looking for words to say as well. He noticed that she was more shy than she was back then in the salon."So thank you for helping me out, I really appreciate
Not Your Average Son-in-law 66. Discarding James.
In the Stallion family mansion, there was a gathering of people, a meeting that involved everyone that had close connections to the family—everyone except Meghan and her husband, whose name if mentioned would all but only draw snares from everybody else seated around the table. A glass crystaline table with golden colored edges.On it was James, Harry, Sophie, and her parents Mr. and Mrs. Stallion."What on earth is going on?" Mr. Stallion asked. His voice was hoarse and sounded unsettlingly like he was someone scrapping a rough metal with another rough metal. Everybody else turned and gazed at him because it was usual practice for him to ask a question simply for the sake of causing an effect, then delve in later to explain what exactly he was trying to say."I thought we made an agreement, James boy," he began. "An agreement that we are going to force Meghan to live her good for nothing husband, which is why we told her that it was either she got an investment deal from wherever or

Megan woke up in the morning to see a figure coming into the bedroom. She jumped out of bed with her heart racing, running to the walls, and found with her hands the switch of the light bulbs. She turned the switch on, only to find out that it was just Gavin."What the hell are you doing?"She tried to regulate her breathing, once she could see his face clearly without the shrouding of the early morning darkness."What? Gavin? Why on earth would you do that? Why did you not tell me you were the one? You almost made my heart jump out of my chest."Gavin did not say a word to her. His face looked stressed if there was one thing she noticed. He always looked stress, but his face at the moment was bothering on a totally different other level. She had totally forgotten everything that happened the day before. She became overcome with shock as the memories flooded her sleepy head."Gavin, I thought you were behind bars. What happened? How did you manage to get out at all? Did you recieve

Gavin was still asleep when Meghan received a call from her father. She was taking tea when the call came in. The phone buzzed and she took a look at it, just to see her father's name floating on the screen. The tea she had in her mouth nearly spilled out of it, the cup almost fell and predictively broke into many other time pieces. She was never expecting him to make a call to her. It had been forever since he last called. Ever since she decided to marry Gavin and bring shame to the family, he had made his calls as rare as a blue moon. Before she picked the call she even did a special preparation and rehearsal. His cold voice came breezing through once she picked the call. "Hello daughter, how are you?" "Uhm, I am—""Don't answer that. From your voice I can already tell that you are not exactly dead, and living with such an imbecile of a man as most certainly not killed you."She now knew absolutely nothing to say to him."Anyway, I want to see you in the mansion today. You bett
