Austin felt so insulted that without thinking he charged at the man who only dodged his attack like he was a paper art before punching Austin in his face.“One would think you would’ve learnt your lesson the last time you fought with me but you’re just a stubborn animal.” The secretary said.Austin snarled as he lifted his fist to hit the man but again, he caught his fist halfway in the air and threw him outside like he was just some sort of toy.Delilah couldn’t ignore the commotion outside no matter how hard she tried so she had no other choice than to go and check what was going on.Her breath got caught in her throat when she saw her son on the floor with Oliver’s secretary standing right beside him with so much pride.“What do you want?” She demanded, the man adjusted his shirt before walking closer to her so he could tell her that Oliver wanted to see the both of them.“What does he want with us?” Delilah asked after a while of silence, “he has humiliated us enough, is he callin
“I want them to be dealt with, none of them should be released until I let you know that I’m ready to let them go while the others serve the punishment that they deserve.” Oliver said into the phone as he got in the car with Lucien.He couldn’t believe that Sienna could go as far as that just to find a way to get back at him but he was glad that she got caught.He was even happier that Megan is fine and nothing went wrong with her and the baby. Looking out the window, he was so exhausted that he couldn’t drive and he sighed as his mind roamed around.How is he going to tell her now that he knows about the baby she’s carrying because if she hasn’t said anything about it yet then that means that she doesn’t want him to know.Why doesn’t she want him to know? He has every right to be involved with the child, why then is she keeping it a secret from him?“What are you thinking about? You look lost in thought and at the same time you look like you just saw a ghost.” Lucian’s voice jolted h
“Come, meet my parents.” Megan said, jolting Oliver out of his thoughts as he turned away from the parents back to Megan.He wasn’t expecting to meet her parents like this, especially when he had plans to meet her parents together with her.Taking a glance at Lucian and then at Lord Tate and then Arianna before clearing his throat as he made his way with Megan by his side to the table.The anger that had once diminished came crippling back and he was silently praying that he’d be able to hold himself back from doing anything stupid.“I hope they don’t do anything to get my temper up.” Oliver said to himself as he stopped in front of them, waiting for Megan to do the introduction properly.“You’ve met my brother already, right?” She asked nervously and Oliver nodded as he sized Ezra up with his eyes, he still hasn’t gotten so comfortable with him yet.“This is my mum, Monica Kendrick and my dad, Drake Kendrick.” She added and Oliver smiled as he took one of his hands out of his pockets
Megan shook, she wasn’t expecting things to go south this quickly as an eerie silence filled the air and everyone looked at each other.She knew that things wasn’t going to go right and if her father had once forgiven her for what she did the last time with Keith then this was going to bring back memories and he wouldn’t want to forgive her anymore.He could even re-proclaim that he had disowned her but Oliver doesn’t seem to care about that. All he cared about was to make sure that they see for themselves that Megan is doing well on her own.“She doesn’t need them, she doesn’t need either of them to live her life to the fullest.” Oliver thought as his grip around her tightened. Monica and Drake seemed unable to speak as Ezra tried to ease the tension by laughing.“Nothing is funny here,” Oliver called him out and he stopped laughing at once as he stared into Oliver’s angry cold eyes, “I meant it when I said she’s my wife.” Oliver added and Megan swallowed.She seemed to be hearing be
Megan watched with teary eyes as her parents and brother left the mansion. It was taking all that she had in her not to break down completely as it felt like her last thread of life had just gotten cut off.Smiling through the pain, she made her way to the table and doesn’t say anything as she ate silently. Everyone knew better than to ask her questions so they all left her.Oliver and Lucian however, joined her on the table and they all ate to their hearts' content. Oliver has a lot of things he wanted to tell her, especially the fact that her ex-boyfriend connived with his ex-wife so they could both kidnap her.He gave it a rest and when they finished eating, Lucian made his way to his own room while Oliver and Sienna walked to theirs. He didn’t see any reason as to why they should keep staying in the Tate’s mansion anymore.“Pack your bags, Lucian, we’re leaving today.” He said to Lucian who nodded affirmatively. Megan didn’t say a word and just before Oliver could leave, Lord Tate
They walked out of the room to see Lord Tate and Arianna waiting for them to escort them outside. Megan was hit with tons of memories and if she could, she was going to stay a little while longer.Oliver excused himself so Megan could have some time with Arianna while he went with Lucian to see Lord Tate.“Do you think she’s going to be okay?” Lucian asked Oliver who only shrugged, he’d asked her already and she said that she was fine so he had no other choice but to believe her.He knew that she could be sad and down for a while but she was going to pull through it and that’s all they really matter.“She’s going to be fine. I’ll see to that.” He responded but it was more like he was making a promise to himself.He couldn’t possibly let anything happen to her now that he knows that her parents are really letting her go now, if they could abandon her at a time like this then they didn’t deserve her.Lord Tate smiled and appreciated Oliver for everything and mostly for not letting him g
Megan was surprised to hear that kind of words coming out of Ezra’s mouth because she knew how much Ezra looked up to their parents but she didn’t say anything.They changed the topic and when he asked about Oliver, she told him that they were on their way to Oliver’s mansion. Ezra felt relief and after a while of talking, they hung up.Oliver noticed Megan’s countenance when she dropped the call and with no idea what to do, he held her hand and squeezed it in a bid to comfort her.Megan didn’t say anything as she only closed her eyes and waited for them to get home. The car soon came to an abrupt stop and they all alighted as they walked into the house.She walked to the room silently and curled up on the bed, under the bedsheets. Her stomach hurt and she used her pills before closing her eyes to fall asleep. “I’m worried about her,” Oliver admitted but soon shrugged it off before turning to face his secretary, “how are the kidnappers holding up?” He asked.His secretary gave him a
Drake paced around his hotel room thinking about what Ezra had said to him. It’s been a long time coming and the last thing he wanted to do is abandon his daughter when she needed him the most.He knew that he had done it before but he couldn’t do it again. Thoughts ran through his mind as he thought of what to do and while he was still thinking, Monica stopped his train of thoughts by placing a hand on his shoulders.He turned to face her and was hurt when he saw tears lingering in her eyes. He also loved his wife so much that he couldn’t possibly think of hurting her and he didn’t need a soothsayer to tell him why she wanted to cry.“Please,” Monica started, her voice breaking as she looked her husband dead in the eye, she can’t afford for things to keep going at the same pace.She missed her daughter so much and if talking sense into her husband was going to bring back the peace that once reigned in the family years ago then she won’t hesitate to do it but if it doesn’t.She would
