Chapter 45“Are you okay?” Martin asked as he tilted his head to look at Megan, who was busy seething inside the car. “I am trying to be, who gave him the audacity to come to my place and spew this nonsense from his mouth, I am trying to hold in my anger, but I can’t do it,” Megan replied and Martin sighed “Don’t concern yourself with whatever involves Owen right now, we are on the right track and very soon he will have to pay for everything he has caused” Martin said and Megan noddedThe rest of the car ride was filled with silence, they finally came to a stop in the hospital and they both went down the car, Martin and Megan went inside the hospital, and they saw Rebecca immediately, Megan hastened her steps and held her mother’s hand.“What about dad? What did the doctor say?” Megan asked impatiently. “He will be fine, the doctor said he just had a mini attack, and they were able to stabilize his health, he is currently resting and that’s why I decided to stay in the hospital fir
Chapter 46“Do…do you think you can blackmail me with that?” Megan asked, her voice quivering, while Owen erupted into laughter. How did the table suddenly turn? She was the one who was supposed to hold Owen in the right corner and not the other way around, her lips quivered, and she hated the fact she couldn’t hold in her emotions, she was too shocked to talk because she hadn’t expected something like this to happen. It was just like a low blow to her. “Why are you stuttering? I thought you were so confident about yourself earlier. Do you really think I am a fool, allowing you to toss me around anyhow you want it?” Owen asked and took a step closer to her, but Martin came in between them. “Oh! Mr. knight in shining armor, you should come and save your lady distressed” Owen laughed and gave them an amusing look, he wondered why they didn’t get married in the first place because they fit each other so well, and he was also angry at himself to be so oblivious about Megan.Thinking ba
Chapter 47“Don’t tell me you are going to do that?” Martin asked, and Megan looked at him with teary eyes. “What do you expect me to do, huh? He is going to give that record to the police and that will be the end for me, if I am sued, where do you expect me to get that kind of money to bail myself? Think about it Martin, I am at a loss here, I should have known better and kept my mouth shut” Megan mumbled and ran her hand all over her hair, her heart was bleeding, and she didn’t know what to do at this point. “Calm down Megan, I can find a way around this, you cannot just give up and let him disgrace you that way,” Martin said and tears fell from Megan’s eyes rapidly, this was not how she planned for this to go. She doesn’t want to disgrace herself, and neither does she want to go through Owen’s wrath because he knows he will definitely do whatever he plans to do; he will be the one on the receiving end. Her chest constricted thinking about several ways she could go about this wh
Chapter 48“I can’t allow you to make stupid decisions Megan, whatever decision you make right here is going to affect me, I can’t accept that,” Martin said as he stepped inside the car to sit next to Megan. Megan had to walk out of him and go inside the car, she hated the fact he couldn’t see how frustrated she was, and she was trying to gather herself together and push through, she wasn’t expecting Martin to keep on pestering her, worsening her already soured mood.“I know what I am doing Martin, I have to lie low first so that I can fight another day, doing this will make Owen feel like he already won, and then I can plan something else to do, I can look for a way to get over this and deal with him, he had put me through too much,” Megan said and Martin was quiet for a while, gently placing his hand on the steering wheel“Do you have any plans yet after going through this?” he asked and Megan smirked, she doesn’t have a plan yet and even if she does have one she is not ready to sh
Chapter 49“What is it?” Owen asked, and Mr. Reynold gestured for him to follow him. They went out of the house together and they both went inside his car. “What is happening?” Owen asked again, and Mr. Reynold brought out a file that he gave to him.Owen gave him a skeptical look before opening the file, he was slowly glancing through it when Mr. Reynold said, “That file holds every sale that has happened in the company, the blame cannot be fully given to Richard, though he had caused more damages” Mr Reynold said “What did others do, I don’t understand,” Owen asked, and Mr. Reynold let out a breath “Well, Richard had caused the fall in the company stock, but it doesn’t just end there, other people have been greedy causing little damage to the company’s growth, I never paid attention to those silky things until now. There has been money laundering in the company, and it’s up to a million billion dollars” Mr Reynold said and Owen’s eyes widened in shock. “How can something like th
Chapter 50Hayden stopped the car and let out a long breath, he was trying to control the anger he was feeling, but everything deep inside him was screaming anger. He stepped out of the car and took a quick stride towards the house.He went inside the house and saw one of the maids, who quickly bowed her head when she noticed him. “Where is my uncle?” Hayden asked, and before the maid could reply, Mr. Richard’s footsteps echoed through the house which caused them to tilt their head and notice him.“Hayden I wasn’t expecting you,” Mr. Richard said and chuckled while Hayden clenched his jaws “We have something to talk about uncle, I think it will be better if we go somewhere more private,” Hayden said and Mr. Richard nodded “Of course, we can go somewhere more private. Come with me” he replied and started walking, Hayden followed him, and they went to his study. They both went inside, and Mr. Richard sat down on his chair, he gestured for Hayden to sit down too, but he didn’t move. “
Chapter 51Maya looked at her wristwatch and sighed. She hadn’t eaten anything as she was busy in the theatre room, they had emergency surgery and she was glad it was a success.She sighed when she was done washing her hands, she looked at herself in the mirror and decided to grab something to eat. That might help a bit. She walked out of the hospital and noticed the sun was rather too hot today. She sighed trying to cover her head with the thought of walking towards the nearest restaurant to the hospital. Her steps suddenly came to a halt when she saw a car stopping before her. Her heart skipped a beat hoping she wasn’t being kidnapped, she took a fearful step backward, she had thought everything was over, and why a flashy car stopping in front of her?Just when she was about to sprint, the driver came and she heard her name called “Maya” She tilted and saw Hayden. She let out a sigh of relief and moved closer to him.“Are you okay?” he asked and she gulped down. “I am not, I thou
Chapter 52Maya couldn’t hold in her excitement, seeing the most beautiful gown she ever laid her eyes on in her possession made her heart swell in joy, she couldn’t believe Owen could go out of his way to do something like this for her. Her thoughts were suddenly jolted when she heard a knock on the door, she quickly went to the door and saw Owen standing before her, she suddenly became shy and tried to hide her face, Owen noticed and chuckled “Is the gown to your taste, I asked the chauffeur to get something beautiful, I am not really good at selecting things good to a woman's taste” Owen said and Maya chuckled “I love the gown so much, it’s so beautiful, and it’s perfect” Maya replied and Owen let out a breath happy that Maia loved the gown “I am glad you love the gown, are you free tonight? Or do you want to choose a suitable night for the date” Owen asked and Maya quickly stepped forward. “Tonight is perfect, I have nothing doing and I deserve a good treat after spending thr
