“How is he? Is he fine? There’s no problem?” Arianna bombarded Megan with tons of questions after she’d dropped the call.Megan wanted to answer, she wanted to say that nothing was wrong and she was sure of it but she wasn’t so sure.She could feel it in her guts that something was wrong with Oliver and he wasn't telling her what was going on.She wished she could help, she wished she wasn’t so useless especially now that she has a lot of things that she needed to tell him.“He said he’s fine but I can’t just shake off the feeling that something is wrong with him,” Megan finally responded after a while of silence.“I know that he’s not fine but he’s not telling me anything.” She finished with a sigh as she walked out of the bathroom.Her sickness was getting worse and now that she knows what was causing it, she has no idea if she should be happy or sad that something like this had happened between her and Oliver.How was she going to tell him? What would be his reaction when she final
The revelation shook Ezra to the core and knowing that there was no way that conversation would be held over the phone, he quickly sent his address to his sister and asked her to come meet him.He was staying in a hotel and his intention was to surprise his sister but he ended up being the one surprised with the sudden news.Megan got dressed and ready to meet her brother. Her phone chimed and she didn’t need a soothsayer to tell her that it was the address her brother had sent to her.“Hopefully Ezra is going to make sure you don’t make a stupid decision.” Arianna smiled just before Megan left the house.It’s been a while since she went out and she’d completely forgotten about the men outside. On her way to her car she saw Oliver’s secretary and a knot tightened in her chest.He didn’t look like he had good news to share with her, it was almost like something bad had happened.“Madam,” the secretary smiled at her and she quickly returned with a nervous smile, “I was coming to see you
Megan’s car stopped, she looked at her surroundings to be sure that she was in the right building and it didn’t take long for her brother to come out.“Megan!” He called as he ran in her direction but he was stopped by the men guarding her. Shocked, he allowed himself to be searched before he walked to Megan who was still trying to explain the fact that Ezra is her brother and he wouldn’t hurt her.Ezra looked around and was taken aback by the fleet of cars that came with his sister to the hotel. He could recall quite well that Megan left the house with nothing but a box of her clothes.How come she now has lots of men protecting her.“I’m so sorry, Ezra,” she apologized but he only raised an eyebrow to indicate that she was going to explain everything to him.“I’ll tell you everything, let’s just go inside.” She suggested and with a smile since he misses his sister, he started leading her in but stopped when he realized the men were following her.“Actually guys,” Ezra started with a
The question rang bells in Sienna’s head. She had never gotten so desperate that she would have to kidnap someone but there’s always a first time for everything, right?She never even thought that she could hurt someone to get what she wants but once, she’d almost poisoned Megan.She wanted to tell Keith that she was in but the risk of being caught by Oliver himself played in her head and the more she thought about it, the harder it was for her to decide.“How do you plan to go about it?” She asked Keith who only shrugged before telling her that he hadn't really thought much of it.“I only wanted to let you know and then we’ll make the plans together.” He explained. He might really have the intention to kidnap Megan for money but there was more than that going on in his head.He could plan it all with Sienna, she can find ways to make it easy for them to get Megan but that’s where everything could get tricky.He just needs her to say that she was in and he knows that everything else w
“We have to do something,” Lucian started saying as he stared at Oliver laying down on the bed, “we can’t just keep giving him sedatives to stop him from waking up. That could kill him.” He finished with a sigh.Him and Paul were already tired and everywhere they looked for a solution, they couldn’t find anything. Lucian had to go find Robin but she wasn’t home.He couldn’t believe that she wouldn’t be around when he needed her the most, when Oliver needed her the most.Thoughts ran through his mind and he couldn’t help but think that something was wrong somewhere, he couldn’t stop thinking that something might have happened to Robin.For years that he and Oliver have been going there, he was always sure that she was home and almost never goes anywhere.How come she’s out of the house when they need her help the most?What if she’s part of the people after Oliver’s life? What if she’d implanted that virus in him when she came the last time?Lucian couldn’t stop thinking and his though
The sound of his name coming from the man’s mouth almost made Lucian throw his phone away but he needed it.He was going to keep trying until he can get the cloned location out of the way and get the real location but for now he has to focus on the well-being of his brother and those close to him.He had called Jackson’s secretary and asked him to make sure that the security protecting Megan should be doubled because they had no idea where the person was going to be striking from.He also gave him a strict warning to not let Megan know anything about Oliver until he was fine and able to come home.“You’re going in now?” He asked Paul as soon as they got to the door of the ER and Paul nodded. He wished him good luck and waited outside for news.It was like he had been waiting for hours and he’d wanted to barge in but thought that Paul needed to concentrate and he’d be able to do that better if he wasn’t in there.While he waited, he made up his mind to drive to Robin’s house again to s
“W… what?” Lucian stuttered, his legs threatened to be unable to carry him as he staggered, “what happened?” He asked, not sure if he wanted to hear what had happened if it was going to end with how his brother was dead.“I… I don’t know,” Paul answered, his hands were shaking and he was expecting Lucian to do something horrible to him.He was expecting Lucian to hit him but he didn’t do anything. He only sat on the chair right outside Oliver’s ward as he closed his eyes.He held the bottle tightly in his hand and the glow of it caught Paul’s attention. He couldn’t possibly have gone through all those troubles only to come back to a dead brother.Lucian’s head ached so much that he closed his eyes and pressed his temple to reduce the head splitting pain he was feeling in his head but no matter what he did, it didn’t stop.Jackson can’t be dead, not when they have a lot of things to do together. How was he going to break the news to Megan and the people that have formed a bond with his
Megan felt partly relieved that she’d told her brother everything and it felt nice to know that she wasn’t hiding anything from him anymore.She looked at Ezra and he was still stunned by everything that Megan had told him. There were a lot of things that he didn’t want to believe.“All of these happened to you and not one of your family knows about it?” He asked when he was finally able to talk but Megan only smiled.She didn’t intend for any of her family to find out because then they’d make a fuss. She wanted to prove that she could take care of herself and if she couldn’t do it, she had someone who liked her enough to take care of her.“It’s fine,” Megan brushed him off, “as soon as Jackson comes back and if you’re still around, I promise you’ll meet him.” She added.She didn’t want to talk about all of the ugly things that she went through because only then the wounds in her heart were going to open up.She coughed and the pain surged through her entire being. She couldn’t wait t
