Oliver paused his food as he took a glance at Megan, he couldn’t tell her the truth because his identity was confidential but he could tell her a little bit of the truth.“They are my men.” Oliver answered, Megan’s eyebrow raised as she waited for Oliver to keep on talking but she might as well just focus on eating her food because Oliver had no plan of saying anything.Silence prevailed as they both ate, Megan still had lots of questions to ask but she decided to keep it to herself and make up her mind that Oliver was going to talk to her if he wanted to.They finished eating and while Oliver wanted to do the dishes, Megan helped and insisted that he leaves the dishes for her.After a while of back and forth and knowing fully well that no matter what he did, she wouldn’t let him do the dishes, he finally decided to let her have it.He made his way to the suite sitting room and picked up his phone to call his secretary. It’s been a while and he wanted to know how things were going ove
“It’s nothing,” Megan said, brushing him off and going back to dressing up. She wanted to leave New Jersey as fast as she could but she couldn’t help but wonder if her family were worried about her.“We’re leaving today, right?” She asked Oliver and he nodded affirmatively. Not wanting to push her for answers, he made his way out of her room and went to get ready himself.It was like what had happened to Megan with Jonathan sort of triggered an old memory and Oliver wanted to find out what it was.He also wanted to respect her privacy and have her tell him all about it whenever she was ready. Shrugging, he pulled off his clothes and wrapped himself with a towel before going to the bathroom but the sound of his phone ringing caused him to come back.“Hello,” He said into the phone as soon as he picked it, it was a call from his secretary and he wasn’t expecting the call but he figured that it might be important.“What’s the matter?” He enquired. The secretary had just left the academy
Sienna and Keith checked into a hotel room with Sienna’s name since Keith had people coming after him and they wouldn’t leave until they were sure that they'd be able to lay their hands on him.Keith's thoughts wandered and all he could think about was the perfect way to get money from Sienna.He knew that she was currently poor at the moment but he also knew that if he found something that she was scared of, something that she doesn’t want the public to know then he could use it to extort money from her.Laying on the bed, he closed his eyes and made up his mind to start digging up things about Sienna tomorrow.Sienna knew that what she was doing was dangerous and if Oliver should find out he wasn’t going to spare her. She needed to do something.Even though she promised Oliver not to betray him, she didn’t say anything about not being able to use her situation for some money.An evil smile formed on her lip and the cab came to a stop as she got out of the car. She went inside the ho
Austin gasped, he couldn’t believe his ears and he knew that since the post of a janitor was what was available, Sienna would definitely ask him to be the one to do it.“Why does it have to be a janitor?” Austin asked, “Couldn’t there be any other available post or I’ll just wait for another opportunity.” He quickly said as he stood to take his leave but Sienna pulled him back.“You’re doing it.” She deadpanned and Austin froze. There was no way that he was going to be a janitor. It was embarrassing especially for someone like him.The sitting room fell silent as Alexa waited for Austin to either claim the post or deny it. She also knew that it wasn’t much but she felt like it was going to at-least get them away from living hand to mouth.Sienna sighed as she sat on the couch before lifting her gaze to meet her mother who was still concentrating on the old newspaper that she had with her.“And if Austin is taking this job then we’ll also have to find something for you too, mom.” She a
The flight back home was long and since Megan didn’t feel like talking, Oliver decided to leave her on her own until they both decided to go to Tate's house.Oliver couldn’t help but wonder why a family like Megan’s wouldn’t care about her because from all he could deduce since he went to rescue her, no one was looking for her.“Do they not care about her?” He asked Lord Tate as they both sat to enjoy their glass of scotch but lord Tate only shrugged.“I told you everything I know about the family,” he answered, “it’s just so sad to know that they’re leaving the poor girl on her own.” He added.Oliver sighed, he thought hard about what he could do because despite not talking about it, he could see how much Megan misses her family and wishes to be with them.“Are you going to call him?” Arianna asked Megan after she explained her plight to her, she’d also told Arianna about her younger brother and Clara.“I am going to,” Megan responded, “in-fact I’ll tell him about the whole kidnap an
Oliver thought about it, he wanted to pass on it because he’d just gotten back from fighting Jonathan but he knew better, plus, he owed the academy a huge favor.“Alright, I’ll be down by tomorrow and then we’re going to work out the plan.” Oliver said and without another word, the grandmaster stood up and turned to leave.Oliver watched as the man walked to the door but he stopped and turned to look at him with a smile on his face.“You know, you can choose to get involved with someone else. It’s not wrong.” The man said before finally walking away.He knew that Oliver was pulling back because of duties but he also knew how perfect Megan and Oliver were for each other.The academy was against his relationship with Sienna but he remained adamant anyway and since it turned out horrible, they knew he wouldn’t want to get involved anymore.However, Megan is different and they all knew that the both of them have huge benefits to earn from each other and Megan is willing to do the work but
“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to bump into you.” The gentleman apologized but Sienna was still too smitten to say anything.The man wasn’t as gorgeous as Oliver but he was way more attractive than Keith and from the way she hit his body, she could tell that he had a great body too.“It’s fine, I wasn’t looking at where I was going.” Sienna immediately said and soon, the man walked past her and into the building.A tingling sixth sense told her to follow him, she wanted to know where he was going and if he was related to Oliver but instead, she stood by the roadside trying to flag down a taxi.Her mind wandered and no matter how hard she tried, she still couldn’t get over the hatred that she had for Megan.It was so strong and so deep that all she wanted to do when she saw her today was strangle. Her thoughts were cut short when a taxi stopped in front of her and her brother alighted.What is Austin doing here?“Austin?” She called, to be sure that she was seeing the right person and Austi
“What are you doing here?” Oliver laughed as he hugged Lucian. Lucian was his brother in the academy and since they both got entrusted with different duties they barely saw each other for years.Lucian had to go to China. Megan couldn’t do anything but watch as both brothers exchanged pleasantries. It felt nice for her to see Oliver finally laughing genuinely.“I came here for you, bozo.” Lucian answered amidst laughter as Oliver led him to the chair beside Megan.“For me?” He asked before the realization dawned on him that he hadn’t introduced both of them to each other. “Megan, this is my brother, Lucian. Lucian, Megan.” He introduced them, they shook hands and soon Oliver and Lucian got to talking, completely forgetting about Megan’s presence.“The Philippine mission? We’re going together.” Lucian shared excitedly before he caught a glimpse of Oliver’s raised eyebrow.They had a way of talking to each other if they didn’t want other people to hear. Oliver hadn’t said anything abou
