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
Gavin woke up to an empty house, and as well, a beeping phone, ringing at the edge of the bed."I am up, I am up," he said, getting up on his feet and reaching out his hands for the phone. He picked it up and saw that it was Thomas calling. What a pleasant surprise, he thought to himself. He then looked around the room to see if Meghan was around somehow. He could not risk her finding out about his relations with Thomas, the president of the Morano City Bank. Even though he had teased her about it before, he was still no less cautious."Well this is something we don't see every day," Gavin said to the phone. "You calling me always means good news, Thomas.""Ah, now that sounds like something your grandfather would have said after al,l" said Thomas, chuckling slightly."So I know you did not call me for nothing," said Gavin. "Tell me, the preparations for the event I told you of, is everything set? I would like to know about that. I assume that must be the main reason you are calling
Gavin did not give her a reply after she reminded him of her warning. She also did not expect any replies, and thus Gavin went away to a separate room. She assumed that he wanted to be alone for sometime. She did not intend to stop him as she knew that he was well still angry at her for what she did to him, or perhaps, did not do in the Cell.After a long time he did not come out of the room and she immediately got seized with curiousity. "Gavin what is going on?" She asked, taking a step towards the room to satisfy her curiosity.He gave her no reply. She thought he was sulking because of what she just told him and rolled her eyes.When she saw that he was not coming, she opened the door to see him wearing one of the clothes she had picked from the clothing shop. She grew in suspicion once again."Gavin, what are you doing?" She asked, all ready to explode. "Don't tell me you are dressing up to go out after just having that call. Who are you going to meet?""No one, Meghan. Have you
It was night again. But this time the stars were not the only things that glittered. In the city center, at the largest event center of the city, a place called the Arena Of The Stars and deserved the name in every measure one could mention, there was a gathering of every mover and shaker that the city was able to boast of. Its parking lot was filled with exotic cars, all of them as beautiful as the other. From the cars glamorous people poured out in various directions.The arena was dome shaped and was adorned with brilliant lights. In the middle, just above the entrance of the dome was a huge television screen where everyone could see what exactly was going on, where ever the cameras chose to focus.From one of the cars, a Lamborghini, James and Harry came out. With them was Sophie. She wore a black dress, her lips were coated in black lip gloss that seemed to glitter when the lights came upon it. And the lights did come. Tons of light from numerous flashing cameras wanting to see t
The Stallions stared in a combination of shock and admiration of what they were looking at. Meghan stepped out in her purple dress, her hair and nails equally as suave looking as her dress. Her eyes were glittery with happiness, something totally different from what they all had expected she should have been like.Gavin walked up as well to them. He wore a blue suit with a black tie and white shirt inside. On the chest pocket there was purple flower. It was hard for the Stallion to admit it, but the both of them looked terribly good. So good that Sophie felt jealous. The couple held hands."Well, it is not even that much of an achievement to have gotten a car as this." James threw his face away as he said that, certainly jealous of the couple that stood before him, wishing his hands were in place of Justin, who held the hand of Meghan."Well, look what we have here, Sophie," said Harry. Your joke was not just a joke. It was reality. How did this happen? I seriously would like to know
"Why is Meghan not walking up to us?" Mrs. Stallion asked aloud, noticing how much her daughter seemed to be in a frenzy, and forgetting that her parents were just right there.Mr. Stallion seemed even more annoyed even though he simply did not show it. His aura was cold and menacing as he only stared at the couple. Uncertain of what exactly to say to them."I think you should call your daughter here," he said to his wife. His words were overheard by Sophie."Hey, Meghan," she screamed at the crowd of camera men that were before her, taking shots of her sister. 'I think you are forgetting that you have your family here waiting for you."Meghan noticed and tried clearing space. "Thank you, I don't think I need more photos of myself," she said to the camera men who left sadly in response to her words.Her family finally got the space and chance to go meet her and fill their curiosity up with what they needed to know about Meghan and her suddenly rich husband, Gavin, who seemed to have
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
