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

  • Not Your Average Son-in-law    72: Sophie: Jealousy And Reality.

    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

    After Gavin left to go see Thomas, Meghan's family surrounded her with curious faces. She could tell from their eyes that they needed answers, and they needed it immediately."Meghan," Sophie began, speaking in a soft and perhaps even mocking tone. “You did not tell us that your husband hit the jackpot and had become rich overnight. Why did you not?" "Yes, tell us what is happening?" Mrs. Stallion said to her. "Obviously, him just telling us that he is not who we think he think he is does not explain anything, so I am waiting for you to speak."Meghan could almost smell the anxiousness on their faces. A fear that Gavin truly could be something more. She sighed."You don't have to think about it too much," she assured. "There really is nothing there to think about. Gavin still is not anything more than what you had thought of him. He is still the same old Gavin, for better for worse.""Tchh," Mr. Stallion hissed. "I knew it. There is no possible way for you to turn that rich over nigh

    Gavin was still chuckling at Thomas' joke as he walked away to go look for Meghan where ever she was, when he came across a familiar figure staring at him from amidst a crowd of other women, more or less familiar to people who he had met before sometime ago. Her red hair was super attractive in the darkness of the night with all the flashing lights revealing more of its beauty to the eyes of everybody that saw her.Scarlett Gory held a glass of red wine. A fitting beverage for her kind of person. As it reflected all that Gavin thought about her. Beautiful, intoxicating, and dangerous.She walked up to him, as she got tired of playing a stare game with him, waiting for whom would would walk towards who first. She clearly failed on her own volition."Hey there, again," she said to him. "Nice to meet you, this time not in a jail, not in uniform, and most especially not in a salon with your wife screaming at you.""Yes, nice to meet you, my most esteemed helper," he said to her, bowing a

    Gavin and Scarlett were still talking, unaware of the fact that Meghan was walking towards them with full steam on her legs. Before they would notice her, she was already standing before them."What is going on here?" She asked in a very direct and unapologetic manner. Gavin was, as expected, surprised to see her there, standing on edge with both of her hands on her waist, as though she wanted to go to war with him."Hey, babe." He tried to break the ice with her. "I was just... This is.""Don't hey babe me," she said sharply, cutting his words off. "I already know who this is. I don't need you to tell me that. I can tell just by looking at her. I remember her face very clearly. What the hell is going on here?"Scarlett could already tell from the look on Meghan's eyes that she was indeed in trouble. She did not need an announcement for that. Meghan's eyes were enough for that. "Oh nothing really is happening here, Megan." Gavin tried his best to play cool with the situation. "I ju
