Chapter 36Owen yawned as he stood up from the bed, he went to his bathroom to take his bath, as soon as he was done. He went back to his room to get ready for the day’s work. He went to the sitting room and the maid prepared him a hot coffee, he was busy sipping the coffee when he decided to watch the news.He grabbed his remote and turned on the television, he relaxed on the chair and listened “We are glad to have you here with us today Miss Charles, even with her recent accident and just discharge from the hospital she had granted us the audience to speak with her regarding her ongoing case with Mr. Hudson Owen, the CEO of Roeye Empire” Owen heard the newscaster said, and his eyes widened in shock.He hadn’t expected Megan to go to the television station again regarding this issue, so he took his phone, dialing Mr. Reynold's contact immediately. “I was about to call you immediately I saw the news,” Mr. Reynold said, he picked up the call and Owen started pacing about in his room.“
Chapter 37Owen opened the door with anger and stepped inside the house, he was busy seething as he couldn’t believe what those people had said, how could they have blamed everything on him, he had no one else to blame but Megan who had been trying to cause drama in his life. He sighed and slumped on the bed after removing his tie, he wanted to rest for a while and think about what to do. He needs an effective way to tackle Megan and stop her from getting on his nerves. He spent the rest of the day on his bed thinking about what to do when he suddenly heard a knock on the door, he stood up and looked through the window, he noticed the sun was down, and he couldn’t believe he spent his day on the bed just thinking about how to deal with Megan.He hated the fact that Megan was still in his mind, he would do anything to never remember her name if that’s possible, he dragged his leg to the door and opened it. He saw Doctor Maya standing before him and he was surprised.“Doctor Maya” he
Chapter 38“They are going to drag me down” Maya cried and Owen threw the phone on the couch as the contact wasn’t connecting.“You should calm down Doctor Maya, I can assure you that they won’t be able to do anything to you, I am going to assure you that, do you understand?” Owen said, and Maya barely sighed. Her heart was rising and falling at the same time.She knows the power of the media and since everyone believes Megan is innocent, they are going to find a way to drag her down, and who knows, she might lose her work. Her body was busy shaking, and she could hardly maintain her stance, so she tried to walk away while Owen held her hand, halting her step. “Just calm down, I am sorry. I regret dragging you into this” Owen said and Maya forced a smile.“You said you are going to make sure nothing happens to me,” Maya said and Owen nodded. “Then I will be holding you to your words, okay?” she said, and Owen smiled widely.“Thank you” he muttered “I will go back to my room,” Maya s
Chapter 39“Shit!” Owen muttered and rushed inside his car, he drove out of Martin’s home immediately and made his way to the hospital, he had thought about saving Maya first, but he thought she still had time, and he had to see his uncle first. He arrived at the hospital, there were a lot of paparazzi and journalists around. He paved the way for himself and rushed inside the hospital, his heart was busy beating fast and at this point, he might have a heart problem soon.He saw a doctor, and he quickly moved over to meet the doctor. “Where is my uncle? Where is he?” Owen asked and almost burst into tears. He doesn’t understand why every day has its drama, and he was hardly at peace ever seeing him become the CEO of Roeye Empire.“Your uncle is unconscious right now but luckily nothing serious had happened to him, he will be back on his feet before you know it,” the doctor said and Owen nodded. Just then, he heard footsteps approaching, and he tilted his head to see some members of t
Chapter 40“She must really mean so much to you, huh?” the caller teased and Owen’s hand around the steering wheel became tightened, he was barely restraining himself from screaming on the phone and ending the call.He wanted to be sure about where Maya was before taking any course of action. “Just tell me where she is and what do you want?” he muttered this time around, his voice calmer than it was before, realizing his anger wasn’t going to take him anywhere, and he had to talk calmly to get what he wanted.“I will tell you where you can get her, but first I want you to arrange a fifteen billion dollars, for the exchange of the doctor” the caller said and Owen's brows furrowed, he was clearly losing his patience.“What? What do you mean I should send you fifteen billion dollars?” he asked, and the caller burst into laughter. “Your time is ticking Mr. Hudson, you have less than a day to arrange the money or kiss the doctor goodbye, you should choose between which is more important t
Chapter 41“Hello?” Hayden said, and his eyes darted between the two as they had refused to speak, he cleared his throat and Owen finally looked at him.“I should take the both of you home,” Hayden said, and he was still met with silence, he guessed they both needed privacy and decided to meet the policemen before dragging the two men to the station.As soon as Hayden left, Maya turned to look at Owen. “What do you mean by we should go our separate ways?” Maya asked and Owen sighed. “I can’t let you get hurt. A lot of things are not going so well in my life right now and letting you stay by my side will only end up hurting you, I don’t want anything to happen to you because of my selfish desires, so it’s better you return home and focus on your profession, then I will fight my battles alone” Owen said and Maya snorted. “Are you kidding me?” she asked and laughed awkwardly. “I told you before that I was going to stay with you through the good and bad, I don’t care whatever is going o
Chapter 42Owen walked inside the hospital room and met Mr. Reynold reading the newspaper, Mr. Reynold smiled and dropped the newspaper when he saw Owen. “I wasn’t expecting you,” Mr. Reynold said and adjusted his seat.“Did you think I wasn’t going to come to check up on you?” Owen asked and sat down next to Mr. Reynold who chuckled “Of course, I know you are going to come to check up on me, can you tell me what is going on?” Mr. Reynold stated, his voice sounding serious.“Of course. Doctor Maya was kidnapped, and they were asking for a ridiculous amount of fifteen billion dollars, I was able to arrange the money with the bank and was smart enough to get them arrested, I took the money back to the bank, it was just a way to lure the kidnappers” Owen replied and Mr. Reynold’s smile went deeper. “That was very clever of you, I trust you are going to do well, I was worried as I wasn’t aware of what’s going on, and also I can’t get out of this hospital to help you,” Mr. Reynold said a
Chapter 43“Charles! Charles!” Megan heard Rebecca scream, and she stood up from her bed immediately, she rushed to her father’s room and noticed he wasn’t responding. Her heart was busy beating fast and her hands shivered. “What’s going on?” Megan asked while Tom took his phone, calling the emergency number immediately.“I don’t know what is wrong with him, we were just talking, and the next thing he stopped responding,” Rebecca said and burst into tears. “Charles is still thinking about what happened, he is really worried, and then just like that…” words failed Rebecca and Tom moved closer to them.“I have called the emergency line, I am sure they will be here soon, and we can rush him to the hospital,” Tom said and just like he had predicted, they heard the siren of an emergency bus. Charles was taken away by the medical personnel. “I will join you soon,” Megan said and Rebecca nodded while they went inside the bus. Megan ran her hand over her head as she wasn’t sure of what to
