Oliver had almost forgotten about the system in his head. He looked around frantically but there didn’t seem to be any danger around.“What danger did it detect?” He asked himself and it wasn’t until Megan choked on her food that he realized how lost he was.He poured her a glass of water and handed it over to her to calm her down. Her cough soon subsided and she couldn’t help but ask the question that has been in her mind since like two minutes ago.“You looked lost,” she pointed out and Oliver raised an eyebrow before laughing, “what’s the matter?” Megan asked.She had noticed the change in Oliver’s countenance and not only that, she had asked him a question that he didn’t even hear.“It’s nothing,” Oliver lied, still looking around for where the danger could be coming from but he soon shrugged it off and pretended it was nothing.“I thought I saw someone I knew but he’s not the one.” He added, Megan smiled before returning her focus back to her food.“So, why did they call you? I h
“I can help you.” Sienna said when Oliver turned to look at her carefully. He couldn’t understand why he would possibly need her help or why she would want to help him.Sneering, he took more steps forward to her, “how can you possibly help me, Sienna?” He asked.She thought about it for a while, she could revisit her plan of getting Oliver back but for now all she wanted was just for her to be able to get out of the bars she was behind and go home.“I don’t know where Keith is, I swear but I can help you fish him out.” She explained. Oliver was interested and he couldn’t help but ask how she could do that.Sienna explained that once she’s out she’d try to find a way to contact him and that way, Oliver would be able to get him.“You can put a microchip on my phone, I don’t care, just let me out of here, please.” She pleaded, her eyes filling up with genuine tears this time.Oliver thought about it for a while but didn’t actually say anything else before leaving for his office.He met
Sienna felt like all the blood that she had in her body had dried up all at once when she saw the amount of casualties that had been brought to her hospital.Fear gripped her and the only thing she could think about was if Oliver was fine, she wanted to rush to his office but his secretary pulled her back immediately.“He said you’re the only one that can possibly take care of them and he’s ready to pay for their treatment.” The secretary said like he hadn’t just yanked her back.“What of Jackson? How is he? How do I know he’s fine?” Megan asked as she swallowed the bile at the back of her throat.She doesn’t know what the deal with Oliver was but she knew that he was always in danger, it was almost like he was running an underground mafia instead of a business mogul.“He’s fine,” the secretary answered, although he didn’t know if Oliver was fine or not, “you need to start taking care of them now.” He added, jolting Megan out of her thoughts.She never thought that she was going to be
3 DAYS LATER.“Are you all packed?” Oliver asked Megan as soon as she came outside with a small bag in her hand.He couldn’t wait for her to leave because her presence was causing him to hold back on things that he was supposed to have done.It’s been three days already and Jonathan hadn’t come back but Oliver knew that whoever had gone to his site to attack his workers was also working for Jonathan.His phone rang again but he ignored the call and instead helped Megan to take her things to the car. She was nervous, she was going to be meeting her parents after years and she didn't know how to act.She’d gotten things that she thinks that her parents were going to like but despite that she had a feeling that her father might not want to see her.“When will you be back?” Arianna asked, they’d both made plans that Arianna and Oliver were going to see her off to the airport.“Probably in a weeks’ time, I’m not so sure, it depends on how long they want me there.” Megan laughed nervously a
Megan’s seat was a window seat, she looked out the window as the plane prepared to take off. Clutching her necklace, she tapped on her lap with her other hand.She doesn’t do well with flying but today the excitement was more than the fear of flying that she had.Megan felt like someone was watching her or possibly following her but when she looked behind her on the plane she didn’t notice any suspicious behavior or anything of anybody.Everyone was busy minding their business and she shrugged it off as she tagged it as her just being paranoid.“Ladies and gentlemen, we will be landing in approximately thirty minutes from now, please be sure that your seatbelt is fastened and secure all of your belongings.”Megan’s heart raced to the announcement, she checked her phone for the time and it was evening already in New Jersey.Taking in a deep breath, she closed her eyes to take a nap and opened it back when the captain announced the plane landing.Megan got out of the plane and went to b
“Dad.” Megan called, her voice low and tears were already welling up in her eyes but she tried to blink it back.Her mother had spoken to her with so much enthusiasm and a very big part of her was expecting her father to be just as welcoming even though she knew that the chance of that ever happening was slim.Her head pounded, she hasn’t taken her drugs today and it’s taking a toll on her, she took a look at her wristwatch and realized that it’s way past the time she was supposed to use it.“I’m a successful medical doctor,” Megan sniffed, making her mother turn to look at her pitifully.“My hospital is really big and I have lots of people working for me. I have worked so hard to prove that I can be everything you want me to be and more and….”“You haven’t worked hard enough,” Her father suddenly interrupted, “you might have been big but that is to yourself!” He snapped.The tears Megan was trying so hard to control came trickling down her cheeks and this time she did nothing to cont
“Why isn’t she picking the damn call for goodness sakes!” Oliver yelled, almost slamming his phone on the wall as he kept calling Megan.Words have gotten to him that Megan wasn’t safe and he needed to know if she was fine or not.“Track her last location and let me know where she is!” He ordered his secretary who bowed before making his way out of the office.Megan saw the phone ringing, she felt a little bit special to know that Oliver was worried about her to keep calling constantly but she also didn’t want to talk to anybody.Sitting behind his laptop and staring at an empty screen, he needed to know how she was but now her number had stopped going through and it’s switched off instead.After a while of waiting for the information he’d requested, his secretary soon walked in, she got to New Jersey safely and she’s lodged in a hotel.” His secretary announced.Oliver let out a sigh of relief, he wanted to go down there as soon as he could but he also needed to stay back because his
Everywhere fell silent as Alexa spoke and even Austin that had joined them was shocked to see Alexa taking Oliver’s side.“Every powerful man definitely has something that can touch them,” Austin butted in as he walked inside the house to stand between Sienna and Alexa.“You guys should just stop all of these! You keep trying different things but get caught up in the web you weaved.” Alexa said.She joined her hand together and walked past Austin and towards Sienna as if she was trying to beg her best friend.“Please,” she started before releasing her hands, “haven’t you gone through enough?” She asked, Sienna closed her eyes.She doesn’t want to give up on getting back at Oliver just yet, she could do everything in the world at the moment but not give up on him.“Are you not tired of going in and out of prison, you act like you like it, like it’s everything you’re willing to do but, Sienna, it is enough.” She finished.“Are you for me or against me?” Sienna asked and Alexa was taken
