Christian Pov
I noticed that Riley was a little disturbed... He looked restless, while others had they drink, and talking casually, I walked to him and asked
"Is there something bothering you Mr Riley"
"No, I am not... I am all good, just feeling a little hot"
"You must have come from the office, do you want to change"
"No thank you... I am good"
As I said, Riley removed his suit jacket, threw it on the couch, loosed his tie, removed two buttons, and rolled his sleeves till his elbow... God, he looked stunning, I was never fascinated by any guy the way I was fascinated by Riley, he made each never in my body burn with desire for him... Yes, I was different, I like guys... and if I tell it out, the world will call me a Gay... I have been hiding it from the time I was aware I liked guys instead of girls in my school, when a few girls, showed interest in talking to me, I use to avoid them...
Everyone thought I had an attitude... I maintained it, not letting anyone know that I was gay, it included my sister, till Megan came into our life... Somehow she guessed I was gay, in our final year, and confirmed it when we both were on the internship on Edward's ship... It was a girl on the ship who kept pestting me, that's when Megan confronted me, and I have say her, what I really was...
Megan smiled and said,
"Why are so embarrassed for being what you are, it's how you are... So what's wrong, it's ok, you are a wonderful human being, and hard-working soul, be proud of what you are "
That's when I realised, it was not my mistake to be like the way I am, so why run from what iam, I started to accept myself, but to be honest... No one had driven him so insane as Riley did, I didn't want him... I needed him like breathe of my life, but I was still scared to tell him, how much I loved him...

I hugged my wife in my arms afters years, that too in our bedroom, what not I have done to her here in this bedroom... As I thought I tightened my hold on Megan, while Megan struggled in my embrace, trying to free herself... While I said,
"Megan, it's been year's, let me hold you... For some more time... Please "
She looked up, shook her head and said,
"It's inappropriate for us to be like this, as we both are not related to each other anymore"
I was so disappointed by what she said, but that was the truth, I let go of her, and walked out, without even turning back to her, she loved me, Megan wanted me as much as I wanted her... I can feel the seriousness in her eyes and in her body reaction, but she always wanted to avoid me... If my love for her was true, Megan will come in search of me, I Daniel Reid, will not try to convince her again... I walked out without even saying my bye to anyone present there, not even to my sister, as I drove my car, I found myself in front of Brains...
Megan Pov
I was immersed in Daniel's embrace... My body was flooded with sweetness, but then realised I was in the arms of a man who didn't belong to me... I struggled in his arms, making him hold me even tightly... When I heard a low magnetic voice of Daniel saying.... That he wanted to hold me for some more time, my blood rushed back to my brain, making my body hot... I panicked and said, we were not to be like that, as we were not related... Daniel let go of me and walked out, without a second glance at me... My heart had slowed down even to skip beats and my chest felt heavy making it difficult to breathe. My skin turned cold and my throat and lips felt dry, as I watched him walk away from me... But I didn't know what to do, we needed to be separate... His mother can't let us live peacefully, and that Becka was still around Daniel, as I thought... I slowly walked down to see, Eric standing near the main door... He turned and looked at me, with a helpless look...
I ignored him, forced a smile and walked to my friends, as nothing happened...
Riley Pov
I was feeling so restless around Christian, He was making me feel so much different, Myself... I wanted to be with him, I liked him, I never felt this way, when I met any guys... Even some men came to me talking about all this, I never felt anything, though I was not interested in girls... I was not even interested in the men's who I met, but Christian was different... He digs all the desire in me, I know I wanted him, but I was so scared to acknowledge, that I loved him... As I sat there I saw Daniel walk out somewhat upset, after a while, Megan came out with a smile, which was worst than a cry, I guessed something was not going well again between them, but what Daniel did to the people who hurt Megan... Was a lesson to all the wicked people, but Megan didn't know it... If I saw she will feel, I am supporting Daniel, so I wanted to make her know it accidentally.... So I planned to use Christian... I walked to him and asked
" can you make me a drink"
"Ya sure"
As he said... He made me a cocktail, it tasted really good, as I sipped I said
"Not bad it tastes really very good... You have a lot of talent "
"Yes, I am a Hotel Management graduate, it's a part of my course, I am a good cook too, you should taste sometime"
As we spoke, we both walked to the balcony, and stood there talking...
"I look forward to... I should thank you first, for being a good friend to Megan, when she was in her most lowest level in her life, You know she just felt the day she was divorced... We didn't even get to say our bye to her, and we didn't know where she was"
I signed and wanted him to speak, as expected he started asking me more about Daniel and Megan...
"What's the point in talking about it... They are already divorced, Megan needs some happiness in her life"
"You think Megan can be happy without Daniel, your dreaming... They both can't live without each other "
"But Daniel is dating Becka, right we met her in B city"
"That was just a play... We all know, Daniel just wanted to see Megan's reaction, to find whether she still loved him, and all of us saw how uncomfortable she was to see Becka with Daniel"
"Whattt... Was it a play... But Daniel is living happily without her, partying and enjoying with you guys"
"You think... Daniel never had a happy life after Megan left, he had his revenge for his wife and lost child... He literally destroyed them, but he even suffered a lot in that process, none of us supported him or spoke to him, My brother even broke up with Mia, his sister, but then too, Daniel didn't blame any of us..."
"He had his revenge... But on whom"
"Whoever separated them, and killed his child"
"But Megan said, it was her Mother in law planned all this with her brother and Becka"
He looked shocked...
"Yes... He had his revenge on them only, he did all this fir, Megan and his dead child, and the suffering they both went through, because of them"
"What did he do..."
"You should ask this to Eric... He is the one who helps him with all this, we didn't even know what he has done to them, but we all know, it is not anything, good"
"Even to his mother"
"The day Megan left, Daniel went crazy... He was so mad, and what all he did was illegal, he used his power, money, everything he had to destroy those people... The man who was hired by his uncle to cause Megan's accident, was dead in a road accident... But every brutally "
"What he killed him... and what he did to others"
"The only thing we all know is that the three people disappeared from this world, it was we all aw that Becka to after five years, we didn't even know that she was alive "
"What are you saying... What did Daniel do to them than..."
"That's what I am saying you... We didn't know, his mother too disappeared, even Mia or her family as not seen her in these five years, no one even in Daniels family dares to ask him, we never saw Abel at Mr Ried's funeral..."
"What... Is Mr Reid is dead, but how"
"Yea, two years ago, he had a heart attack"
"Oh... Then who knows why happened to all these people "
"Only Daniel and Eric"
As I said, I saw a shadow moving from the dark, and I know who's that shadow was....even in the pitch dark I can tell that is Megan... After we finished, Christian walked to me and took the glass from me and said
"I... I... will miss you, Riley, if you remember me anytime soon please call me... I await your call... It was the only pleasure in my life, that I have met you in my life"
Before I even respond he walks away... like he was scared that I would say something to hurt him... but I wanted to tell him, I will also be missing him, but he turned away so soon, I had no chance to do it... I walked in to see, Megan sitting with Ray, with a glass of champagne... But she was not drinking like she wanted to sober, Megan looked confused, hurt... I guessed she wanted to confront Eric, because she was only looking at him, to get a chance to speak to him...
