“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
Alexa knew that no matter what she did or said, Sienna wasn’t going to listen to her so she left Sienna to her delusion.Alexa had made up her mind already to leave as soon as she was done, she’d be going back abroad and forget about all of the problems that revolved around Sienna.She was tired of having to talk sense into her head and even more tired of her mother and brother supporting her.Alexa made her way out of the house but Sienna didn’t care, all she cared about was the fact that she would soon be working with Oliver.Another smile flashed across her face but it soon disappeared when she caught a glimpse of her mother in front of her.Delilah had always had the fear of missing out, she sat beside her daughter and Austin sat on the other side as they both asked about what the next plan of action was._________Megan’s stomach growled but she didn’t want to stand up or order any food. It was her parents' anniversary today and it hurts her to know that she wasn’t welcomed in th
Megan hurriedly and excitedly started getting ready for her parents’ anniversary and in thirty minutes she was all set.She rechecked her makeup and after packing the gifts she got for them, she made her way out of her hotel room and made her way to her parents mansion.Ezra, her brother, was more than happy to see her. He’d thought that she had left the country until one of their private investigators told them that she was still around.Getting to the mansion, she drew in a deep breath as she rummaged through her bag for the invitation card that her mother had handed to her.She gave it to one of the security guards that had the audacity to stop her from entering the house. Ezra had wanted to get angry but Megan only smiled.“Don’t you know who she is?” Ezra snapped, Megan never asked him to stand up for her but he felt the need to.“I’m sorry, Sir,” the security guard apologized, “I know who she is and I’d have let her in but Mr Kendrick asked me not to.” The guard explained.His h
The hallway thundered with the slap that Drake landed on Megan’s cheeks. Monica gasped and covered her mouth with her palm.She was walking towards them and she’d wanted to stand up for her daughter when Megan started talking.“What have I ever done to you?” Megan asked, her cheeks hurting as hot tears trickled down them.“You couldn’t even forgive my one mistake and when you’d sent me out of the house and asked me to prove myself, I did it without thinking,”“I became a successful doctor and my hospital is one of the top 10 hospitals in the state, isn’t that enough?” Megan asked, her heart and stomach clenching.“If it was enough you’d be my daughter and I don’t hate to break it to you that your best isn’t good enough!” Drake gritted.“Fine! You want me to go? I’ll leave, I’ll leave and you’ll never ever see me again!” Megan spat as she made her way out of the hallway.She worked her way through the crowds and flagged down a taxi to the hotel she’d booked. Her phone wouldn’t stop rin
Megan groaned, she tried to move but her hands and legs were tied up already and all of her attempts to try and get out of the rope she was tied up with proved futile.“You’d better remain still or you’re going to make this harder than it should be.” A man’s voice came, he was snickering and Megan wanted to remember if she had heard his voice before but she hadn’t.She stopped moving and tried to listen for anything else but everywhere was silent, she could tell that the man was not the only one around because of the footsteps she was hearing.“What do you think we should do with her?” Another voice asked and cold chills ran down Megan’s spine.Questions ran through her mind, who would want to kidnap her and keep her hostage?Her mind drifted off to when she’d just arrived, she had felt like someone was watching and following her but she shrugged the thoughts and feeling off.Could it be that the person was the one who’d kidnapped her now? She tried to shake her head and despite the w
Oliver was still pacing around his office, he wouldn’t stop calling Megan but her phone kept repeating the same thing.It was switched off.The door to his office opened and his secretary walked in, Oliver already knew that it wasn’t good news that his secretary was bearing.“There has been no sight of her anywhere, Sir,” his secretary started, “the police have searched everywhere and…”“Then they need to search harder!” He roared, “get my private jet ready, I’m flying to New Jersey.” He ordered as he started to walk out.“I swear if it turns out to be that son of a bitch, Keith, he is going to hate the day he was born!” He threatened as he kept walking.“But Sir, you can’t leave the city, it’s risky,” his secretary reminded him but that fell on deaf ears.“The city needs you, protecting it is one of the reasons you are here.” He added, Oliver pinched the bridge of his nose as he made his way into the elevator.“The city doesn't seem to be in any shambles,” Oliver responded, “Megan ne
