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
“What?” Lucian asked, not understanding what Oliver was referring to. They’ve both lost track of each other’s lives and he had no idea that Oliver was once married.“I was once married,” Oliver continued, “Sienna Taylor but you know how I always say if I eventually get married I wouldn’t let the woman know my identity until I was sure that I wanted to be with her for life?” He asked and Lucian nodded.“You even said you were going to act poor,” he laughed but stopped when the expression on Oliver’s face was serious.“You went through with it?” He asked and Oliver nodded affirmatively.“I lived as Oliver Hudson for almost three years and well, the first six months were great,” Oliver said.“The rest of the years, I was treated like trash, it was almost like she only got married to me for looks.” Oliver sighed.“Wow,” Lucian sighed, “so you requested a divorce? Where does Megan come in?” He asked.“I helped her become who she was secretly and once the news of us being separated spread l
It was the first time since the first couple of months that Oliver was finally having sex again. He had no idea how to feel about it but he knew he enjoyed it.It wasn’t like the way it used to be with Sienna, everything was different and Megan was vocal as she told him everything that she liked.Oliver took his time to get to know her, to satisfy her and for the first time in years he was also sexually satisfied. They finished having sex and laid in bed whole Megan slept off in his arms. Thoughts ran through Oliver’s mind and he couldn’t help but think about how much he wanted to get invested again.He made up his mind that as soon as he gets back from the Philippines, he was going to talk to Megan about making things real and this time, they’re both going to see her family too.Smiling, he relaxed and closed his eyes and soon, he drifted into the comfortable arms of sleep. The sound of the bedside alarm jolted him awake and he hurriedly turned it off.“Oh, thank goodness.” He sighe
Oliver didn’t know whether to turn towards her or to just answer without looking at her. It was almost as though he’s a shy little boy.He has never been shy in front of a lady before, why is he shy now?Before he could think of what to do, he heard her getting out of bed and before he could speak she was already hugging him from behind.He smiled but hid it so she wouldn’t see, he liked how things just changed overnight between them and now he only wants things to go on like this between them.“It’s really sad that I can’t come with you,” Megan started as she rested her head on his back and ran her fingers through his chest.“Since you both will be having fun I was hoping it was going to somehow happen with me being among you too.” She finished.Oliver felt bad for lying to her but for the sake of her own safety he couldn’t tell her why he was going to the Philippines so for the first time, he turned to face her.Her cheeks were really red, they were flushed from all the fun that the
