“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
Lucian recognized them at once and he asked them to come in before asking them what they wanted in Jackson’s apartment considering how things got heated between Jackson and Drake.“We were given the address to this place and the girl told us that Megan was here.” Monica said because Drake was too egotistical to speak.Lucian nodded and told them that Megan was in the room with his brother but he couldn’t possibly let them into the house without being sure of why they were in the house.“The last thing we’re going to take in this house is a disrespect aimed at Sister Megan, even if it’s from her parents.” He said and Drake nodded, Monica was going to talk but Drake pulled her back.“I came here mainly because I wanted to apologize to her for how horribly I treated her,” Drake started with a smile, he didn’t think what he was doing was wrong until now that he got the chance to talk about it.“Basically, I came to make things right.” He added and Lucian smiled, that was enough assurance
“Hello boss,” the voice on the other end of the phone said as soon as Oliver answered, “the Chief of Police is here and I was thinking you were going to say a word to him before I could let him take them.” He finished.Oliver looked back and felt a sense of peace and happiness when he saw Megan smiling with her family. He couldn’t have been happier and if he had to, he was going to do it over again just to bring more happiness to her.Lucian had already joined them and Oliver had no idea what they were talking about, he placed the phone back on his ear and smiled. He had no reason to delay their punishments any longer.He intended to let Delilah and Austin go but he had no intention of forgiving Sienna and Keith. He’s going to make sure that they get what they deserve.“Let him take them all in and I’ll come tomorrow to give my final order.” He finished and hung up before he could say anything else.Oliver was too tired to stay out and talk to them so he resorted to going to bed since
