Chapter 28“Owen? Can you see me!” doctor Maya asked, and Owen blinked several times before adjusting his eyes to the light in the room.“How long have I been out?” he asked, with his voice sounding husky.“Throughout the night, luckily you called me, and I was able to come get you in time” she replied and then he nodded“Can you tell me what’s wrong with me? Why did I suddenly faint, I remember my heart constricting and I could barely breathe before slumping on the floor” Owen said, Doctor Maya opened her mouth to reply, but just before she could say anything, the door opened, and Mr. Reynold stepped inside.“Owen! Oh my goodness, I was so worried something happened to you, thank goodness everything is fine, you should have told me when something was wrong with you” Mr Reynold said and Owen squeezed his eyes shut laying back on the bed.“I didn’t know what happened, it just happened in the blink of an eye, one minute I was fine and the next I wasn’t” Owen replied and Doctor Maya step
Chapter 29Martin’s eyes widened in shock as he watched the news, he couldn’t believe this was the reason Megan was acting nonchalant towards him when he told her what Owen had done, all this while her intentions were all about going back to Owen.He knew she was a gold digger, and she would only run after a wealthy man, she had been the cause of his problem, she had been the one that made everything go bad for him if he hadn’t gotten involved with her, perhaps he would have still had his company and everything would have been going smoothly. His hands around the cup he was holding became tightened, and the cup broke into pieces, he stood up from the seat he was sitting on and didn’t mind his hands were bleeding, he was blinded by rage and all he wanted was to avenge Megan for everything she had done.“I am going to deal with you! I won’t stop until I do” Martin grabbed his phone and dialed her contact, but it went straight to voicemail each time as she had refused to pick up his cal
Chapter 30“Owen!” Megan called, and her lips widened up in a smile. “I know you are going to come” she added and ran over to meet Owen, she wrapped her hands around him and his body went stiff immediately.Mr. Reynold stepped forward and came in between the both of them. “I think it’s best you maintain your manners, Miss Megan” Mr Reynold said through gritted teeth. She huffed and moved away from Owen while they stepped closer into the house, their eyes darted around and Owen’s eyes fell on Martin who was sitting down on the chair, he quickly guessed this must have been their plan.“You should go back to that station and tell them everything you have said is a lie,” Owen said and Megan arched her brows at him.“What lie did I tell you? The fact that I am still pregnant, and you don’t want to believe me? You have the money, so take your responsibility and do it!” Megan yelled at him and Owen scoffed. “I am not a fool Megan, gathering the public attention will not make me come back t
Chapter 31“Are you sure your uncle is okay with this arrangement?” Doctor Maya asked while Owen was quietly taking his dinner, he dropped his cutlery and raised his head to look at her. “I mean you have to see his face, he didn’t look happy about it when I came in with my box, that left me thinking if I should go back to my apartment, perhaps I would be able to take care of you from afar” she added.“What if I ate poison, and it will take time for me to reach you, don’t you think I will be dead before you come here?” Owen asked and she was quiet.Owen had offered her a large amount of money asking her to move into his house, hoping she could always be there to take care of him when need be, she was skeptical about the whole arrangement, but she had to agree when Owen mentioned he trusts no other person like he trusts her, and she is the one who wanted to protect him.Doctor Maya felt the money was good and since she is single and lives alone in her not-so-good-looking apartment, she d
Chapter 32“I think it’s best you stop Megan, she is chasing after something that will bring problems to us, we are already on the verge of losing everything, a little mistake from her now will end everything,” Rebecca said to Charles who was laying on his bed.“What is she trying to do, this time around?” Charles asked and coughed. Ever since everything went down the drain, he has been trying to hold up, but his health deteriorated each day.“She's trying to pin preg…” the door suddenly opened, shutting Rebecca up.“How can you, mother! How can you come here to report me to Father when you of all people know what I am trying to do, I am trying to raise enough money that support this family, and perhaps we can go back to the way we used to be” Megan said and fisted her hands angrily, she can’t believe her mother can snitch on her like that.“You should listen to yourself Megan, stop for a while and think about everything you are doing, this is going to bring ruin to us if he finds out
Chapter 34Megan suddenly opened her eyes and groaned, she felt a sharp headache and a bandage tapped around her leg, she looked around and noticed she was in the hospital, she almost screamed at the annoying beeping of the machine in the room.“Who is there?” she forced herself to say and looked around hoping she could see anyone who was going to help her, but there was no one around, just when she was about to press the emergency button, she noticed the door open and she stopped.She tilted her head to see Martin and her not, he stepped inside the room. “Oh, my baby!” Rebecca said and quickly walked over, she sat down on the bed and placed her hand on his head. “I am glad you are okay, I thought something bad was going to happen to you, I wouldn’t have spared that man if anything happened to you,” Rebecca said and Megan forced a chuckle.“I am fine except for the headache and the bandage wrapped around my legs,” Megan replied and Martin moved closer.“I called your mother as soon a
Chapter 35“I went to Megan’s home requesting a test showing she was truly pregnant, I went there with a doctor, and she agreed to follow us, we left the house together, and suddenly, she opened the door and jumped down from the car, I didn’t know why she jumped out of a moving car,” Owen said, and the officer arched his brows at him. Just when he was about to respond to what Owen said, he suddenly heard a clearing of a throat and tilted his head to see another officer looking at the two of them. “Your presence is needed at the DPO office,” the officer said, and he stood up immediately, leaving Owen alone. Owen suddenly heard footsteps and tilted his head to see his uncle walking towards him. “Owen” he called and the officer who was questioning him joined him immediately. “I am sorry for the questions, you are free to go,” he said and Owen was shocked that was fast, he tilted his head to look at his uncle who smirked and knew he was the one that got them out of here immediately.Ow
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.“
