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.“
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
