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
Oliver’s eyes widened and it felt like he didn’t hear her clearly due to the bells that rang in his head, “what?” He asked.Megan’s mouth opened and she wanted to repeat her words and tell him that she’s been kidnapped when the strange man took the phone away from her ear and brought it to his.“Jackson Moore,” the man said into the phone and Oliver stiffened, he knew that he recognized the voice but he couldn’t really put a face to it.“What do you say, we settle the rift between us and get to decide who is stronger.” The man added.“Jonathan,” Oliver immediately thought, pinching down hard on the bridge of his nose. He knew that something like this was going to happen.“Are you really this much of a coward, Jonathan?” Oliver asked, trapping the phone between his ear and shoulder as he opened his laptop.He knew how to track the location, all he had to do was make sure that he kept talking, “let her go.” He added.“You really are bold, Jackson,” Jonathan smirked, “what on earth makes
Sienna got to her house fuming and in rage as she sunk in one of the couches. Alexa was surprised to see her and she’d wanted to talk about her travel but she kept it to herself first.“What’s the matter? You don’t look like you’re in a good mood?” Delilah asked and Alexa handed her a glass of water before sitting down beside her.Sienna sighed as she stared away, she knew that she was never going to be satisfied until she’s living the life that she has always wanted.A life just like Oliver’s and if she couldn’t live it as Oliver’s wife, she was just going to think of another way to get herself the kind of lifestyle that she thinks she deserves.She thought about Oliver and something about him seemed weird to her, he looked like he was in a hurry and the Jackson Moore that she knew would love to see her suffer but Oliver just gave her money and drove away.On second thought, thinking about it caused her to get a little bit angry and she couldn’t help but question the universe.She br
“Who the hell had the fucking nerve to take my money?!” She yelled as she stomped back into the sitting room to see her mother and Austin eating the chicken and chips that her mother had prepared.“Where did you get the money for this? How were you able to afford all of this?” She asked her mother.Delilah only ignored her daughter and focused more on her chicken as she continued the conversation she was having with Austin.“You know what, I’m done!” Sienna yelled, “I am done trying my best and doing everything that I can to bring us out of the gutter.” She spat.“Oh yeah?” Delilah finally spoke, “and how do you intend to do that? By being selfish and stuffing all the money in your bag and hiding it under the bed?” Delilah snapped at her daughter.Rage washed through Sienna, she had a lot of things planned for the money, she had things that she wanted to do with the money but as usual her mother had ruined it all.“If you wanted to spend that much money, why don’t you go out there and
“It will take a whole lot more than machine guns to kill me, Jonathan and you of all people should know that already.” Oliver sneered back.He adjusted his suit, his eyes glaring around and looking for ways to get Megan out of the place she’s been tied to.Jonathan dashed at him and he swerved before burying his elbow in Jonathan’s back. Megan couldn’t do anything other than watch in awe as Oliver fought Jonathan.She’d thought that she had known everything that she was supposed to about Oliver but she hadn’t seen him in such a serious mood before.Oliver pressed what seemed like an AirPod that he had on and men started trooping in. Megan thought that they came to help Oliver and it wasn’t until they started untying her rope that she eventually got to realize that they came for her.“Take her to my suite, stay with her and I’ll join in approximately….” He checked his wrist watch, “thirty minutes.” He finished.The men wanted to move Megan but she didn’t budge and Jonathan started laug
