Third-Party Pov
Megan thought to herself as she saw Daniel working on his laptop, he had been working non-stop, for few hours,
"I had to go to B city for few weeks, to settle all the things in B city, I have to talk to Danny, but he's already taken so many leaves, I need to go alone, as always I can't pull Daniel with me to all place"
Finally, she decided to tell Daniel
"Danny, I need to go to B city, will be back in few weeks as soon my work is done... "
"Ok... when are you planning to go"
Daniel pulled Megan and hugged her and asked... then he kissed her forehead, and said again,
"I miss you, Meg, already we are apart, and now I will not be able to even see you every day still you come back"
"You will come every weekend to see right"
"I will try... but can't be sure, because all my work has been piled up"
"Oh ok... I understand"
"Olivia and James' bro are coming with me, as there are worried about me, so no need for you to worry, I will be fine"
"Oh... that's great, and what about Ray and Riley, are they to coming"
"I am not sure, maybe... even they had few things to do"
"When are you leaving"
"Day after tomorrow.. early morning flight"
" How about ticket booking"
"All done by Uncle's PA, Mr Cole..."
"So he's become your PA..."
Daniel laughed as he said,
"Not exactly, but partially true"
"Ok... be careful, if need anything or something is not ok, call me immediately... do you understand"
Daniel hugged Megan and said... Megan leaned on Daniel's strong chest and nodded... somewhat she was not comfortable about few things in passing days, it was a un- understandable emotion in her, in a month her exams were there, and she was not sure how good she was... the next day, Daniel was getting ready for the office, while Ray and Riley, came to Megan's apartment in Sunrise, and said
"Megan even we will join you, as all our project work is done and submitted"
"Oh... good, I will be at ease if you guys are around"
Megan said with a smile, Daniel came out, as he kissed Megan's forehead and said bye to Megan, he turned to look at Ray and Riley,, he nodded as though he was thanking them... actually it was Daniel who called them last night and asked to accompany, Megan to it B city, as her mood was very low, and emotions were very, unstable... he trusted Ray and Riley with James and Olivia... Megan will be fine, as he walked out, Ray stood up and asked
"Daniel Bro is it only us going with Megan"
Daniel turned to look at Ray, and said,
" I am not sure but will check"
Ray smiled and went to the kitchen to get some coffee, while Megan walked to Daniel, held his tie, and pulled it properly, and asked
"Can I take Mia with me... it will be good for her to come out to other places, Can I take her...please "
"Started with your Matchmaker work..."
Daniel smiled and pinched Megan's nose, and said
"I will try, will talk to Dad, if he sends her, Mia will be with you all"
Megan nodded her head happily and looked at Ray who was walking out with coffee... he looked at Megan puzzled,
what happened, why are they both looking at me like that... Riley, I am I look like some clown"
He finished Riley said
"Megan was asking to send Mia with us... "
Ray choked on his coffee and looked at Riley...Megan said
"Don't act as if you don't want her around, that's what, you were asking Danny now"
Daniel smiled, and kissed Megan's cheek, and walked out... as he reached his office, Eric came with a file and said
"Boss, the details you asked for... "
"Go, head... tell me what you have found"
Eric was a good hacker, and a very smart guy, he had his hands on all the information in Franklin Ben...
"Boss, this guy Franklin's company as gone on bankruptcy, for which his Dad, had committed suicide, and after few days, Franklin, had some connection with Mafia, did some illegal businesses and got back his family company back, he had married the heir of his rival company, and abused her brutally and as killed her a year back, and settled like an accident, by using his power, and now he's looking for her bride, to start over again... but he is a sadist, he lines torturing women..."
Daniel looked at his PA... in shock... this was the guy, his sister's suitor, what nonsense was that..
"Anything else... Eric"
"Boss... it about you family"
"Ok... go head"
"Your uncle as known all this, and Franklin promised him a good business deal if he finds a good girl for him, he had wanted to marry one of his daughters, but you uncle said, both his daughters are engaged and showed your sister's photo, and promised him the wedding, and closed the deal"
"what... he had known about him still, wanted to get her married to that maniac"
"Yes sir, he as also said, Madam, is your just time pass....after your lust on is done, you will marry his daughter Becka, so it will inconvenient for him to marry Becka to him, and suggested Mia, I git this information from one of they trusted maid"
Daniel rubbed his temple... he was so angry, he just wanted to tear his uncle apart...
"Okay, let's go to my house this afternoon for lunch, inform my mother"
then he picked his phone and called his Dad
"Dad, it's me, Danny, come home lunch, I have few things to discuss... "
Sunrise resort apartment
Megan was packing all her things and was uncomfortable about the things that were happening, She thought her visit B city without her Uncle and Aunt.. and tears started to roll down her cheek, after packing she told few instructions to Aunt Cathy, but her surprise, Aunt Cathy came with a young boy, he looked manly, but still looked cute, he bowed to Megan and said,
"Thank you, mam, for all your help, and taking good care of my Grandma"
Megan smiled and asked
"What's your name"
he smiled and said
"My name is Liam, and I am in my final year of high school"
"Wow, that's good... "
then she instructed few things to Aunt Cathy, and gave few hundred dollars to Aunt Cathy and said
"Aunt Cathy, maybe Daniel will be not back, till iam back, so you take care of the house, and this for you, cook well for your grandson"
"Megan, you pay me well, no need for extra money"
"Aunt Cathy, I don't have younger siblings, I would like to have Liam as my younger brother, so it for him"
Liam was touched by what Megan said, he had only seen arrogant rich classmates, who treated him like trash, but seeing Megan....he thought all are not like them
"Can I call you Sister, Mam"
"Of course, you can call me your sister, and from now on all your fees on me, and when you graduate I will appoint you as my PA in my Resort that I am planning after my studies"
after saying that Megan chuckled... this was the first time she smiled honestly after the accident... Aunt Cathy prepared Megan's favourite food, Megan and Liam enjoyed their lunch, happily chatting
Reid's house
Mrs Abel prepared a lavish lunch, with Becka and Jessica, It was the first time Daniel coming home alone without that Megan after he got married, so she was very happy, thinking, they should have had some misunderstanding... that why Daniel came to her for comfort, and it was even good for Becka to move close to him, while Megan was away, all had their own thoughts, Mia sat in confusion, thinking whether she should call Ray or not... it was lunchtime, and Daniel came back with Eric, Abel was so happy to see him, she rushed to him and said
"Danny, your here, go freshen up, I will put the lunch on the table"
Becka stood in a side smiling shyly... Eric saw this and thought,
"what cheap woman, trying to seduce a married man, that to his madam was so good...in everything, why will his boss, look at a cheap woman like her when he had a goddess home"
"Eric..."
Daniel's voice bought Eric back to reality
"Boss..."
"Come on, go wash your hands, and come sit"
"Yes Boss"
Eric walked to the hand wash, freshen up, came sat next to Danny, while Mr Reid came, Abel was surprised to see, her husband... and asked
"Why are so early home today..."
"Daniel called me home to have lunch together"
"Oh..ok"
Abel was even happier, not only he came home but also called his father too... Daniel looked at his smiling Mom and said
"Mom called, all it's been a long time I have had lunch together with family"
Abel's happiness had no bonds... she said
"Becka, what are you standing, go call everyone out for lunch..."
as Becka nodded and ran to call all, Eric thought again...
"Now the proper show is up"
Mr Smith, came out with his wife and daughters with a full smile on his face, while Jovel walked out with Mia, seeing Daniel sitting, Mia walked to Daniel sat next to him, before Becka took that seat, Daniel was packed between Mia and Eric, as if they were protecting him from the other woman, getting near him, Daniel smiled... thinking what these two were doing, there were so loyal to his little wife.
Then as they all started to eat, Daniel asked
"Uncle Smith, how do you know Franklin Ben"
"He's a good friend of mine, a very nice gentleman, met him few times in business parties"
"Oh ok.. and did you know his company was gone bankruptcy a few years ago and his father commented suicide"
Mr Smith started to have cold sweat at Daniel's gaze that was like a hawk looking at a small rabbit on the ground, running for its life, he just managed his emotions and said
"That was all in past, But Franklin, came out of it and made his own business, and took back his company to"
"By marrying his father's reveal's daughter"
Now all in the dining room looked flashed, the first one to react was Mr Ried
"What are you saying Danny, he was married, then what happened to his wife, why is he looking a maiden to marry"
Mia was finally at relief, her brother had all reasons to stop this marriage as he promised her, Daniel smirked and said
"Yaa, Dad, he has been married, and his wife died in an accident"
"Oh... poor Mr Ben, he must have been heartbroken, he will love Mia more and take good care of her"
Abel said, as she smiled at her husband,
"Did you know that before, how dare you, hid something like this"
Mr Reid asked with a harsh tone, he was so angry...
"No, I didn't know it either, till Danny told, I just felt how pitiful Mr Ben is"
while all this was happening, Daniel's sight didn't move from Mr Simth, Mr Smith was wiping his sweat repeatedly, while Becka bit her lower lips, and Jessica was looking at Jovel for help... Jovel opened his mouth to support his fiance and her family, and Abel was too very scared how things tured out..
"Danny, it's common for men to find a wife, after his first wife as dead in some accident, what's a big deal about it and Now he wants to move on with a new wife...even he as his life ahead right"
"So you want to marry Mia to Mr Ben, because your Father in law had said so"
Daniel questioned Jovel... Abel and Jovel had know beforehand that Mr Ben was married, but the true facts were unknown to them...
