Daniel Pov
I reached Seattle and checked in the guest house where Chole had arranged my stay, it was a nice service apartment in the same township as Megan, it was the next to Megan's Villa, after I refreshed, I looked out to see Megan sitting in the swing, in her balcony, with her coffee, maybe this was her routine, I stood there watching her having coffee, read her newspaper, check her schedule on her laptop, and make some calls, she got up and walked in with her laptop, it literally took about an hour for her to finish all this, I loved the way she was... After half an hour, I saw Megan out in casual formal, to her car, she had an Audi R8, the car zoomed out of the township in no time, I just wanted to sleep for some time, my jet lag was little waved, when I got up it was already late noon, I called the housekeeping for my lunch and called my minion, only after three-ring she picked my call, with some hesitation Megan said
"Hello, Mr Reid...."
I was so angry at her for addressing me like that, I was missing the way she use to call me... Danny, I wanted to hear it again, maybe all my life, that when I again said her to call me Danny, there was a little voice saying Mr Ried again, when cutting Megan with my declaration of getting her back as I did 10 years back, I was going to sweep her for her foot... As said I cut the call, I had an unknown smile on my face...
It was late evening when Megan reached home, I saw her walking exhausted, why does she as to work so hard, doesn't she already have a lot of money and name, I was pissed off at the way she looked... I wanted to take care of her with all comforts in the world, not letting her get this exhausted, but I failed, it's because of me, she has become a workaholic... As I watched she walked to the main door when the same middle-aged woman opened the door, whom I have seen two times walking in and out of that house, she must be Megan's housekeeper, I really admire her taste in people, Aunt Jennet, Aunt Cathy and now this lady... I shook my head and smiled, thinking her preference never change...
I called Cole, to get some more information about Megan's schedule and her housekeeper
"Hello, Chole... Just give me some details on the housekeeper and Megan's schedule "
"Sir, Sis has few meetings in the office and she is meeting Mr Edward for lunch and about Mrs Saly, she is an orphan, her family died in technical issues on the ship they were working, it was Mr Edward's ship... So to help her loneliness, Sis took Mrs Saly as her housekeeper..."
This Edward guy again.... As I thought I asked,
"Ok thank you, I need a key for your sister's villa"
"I don't have any access to that Sir, you please ask Christian, he should have..."
I thought and said ok to him and called Christine, when Christine picked the call, he was panting... Must be in the middle of something, I guess and said
"It's me..."
There came an irritating voice from another side
"I know, tell fast why you called me... You really know how to annoy people, Mr Ried"
I chuckled at his grumbling and said
"How can I enter the villa, when Megan is not there, I need access to it"
"Why do you need to enter the villa now, first impress Megan, so she takes you in by herself..."
"I just need to visit her house to know what was she doing in the past few years..."
Christine signed and said
"Ok, ask Chole to take my access card from my office desk... It is written sweet home on it"
"Ok thank you... Continue with whatever you are doing... But to say you, I still hear Riley murmuring to you from the back, say him, I said hai"
As I said, I giggled... Christine was pissed off but didn't say much, just cut the call. I called Chole to inform, fetch the access card... and he agreed, the next day, I saw the same routine, my minion sitting on the swing, with her coffee and laptop, even her phone was with her, which tempted me to call her, I pulled out my phone and called her, there was a small surprise on her face when she looked at her mobile, I waited for her to pick as I watched her struggle.. after around four-rings, Megan picked the call, asking
"Mr Reid... Hi"
She was born to piss me off, I cleared my throat, and said
"Happy... That you irritated me"
"That...that, I didn't mean to irritate you, I just called as everyone else..."
"Your not anyone else, Meg... You're my wife, my love of life, you are not allowed to call me that"
"Ok, but I am not your wife... Did you forget we are divorced"
"Ya I remember, how you tricked me in signing the divorce paper, and used my trust on you, against me... You're going to pay me for that Meg, we are not finished on that"
Megan was silent for some time, I would see how regretful she is on her face, but she managed and said
"Then what you wanted me to beg you... To sign the divorce paper, it was all over between us by then"
"Nothing was over, nothing was over...Meg, it was you who ended everything, even not giving me a chance to explain "
The other side went silent, when I looked at Megan, tears flowed down from her eyes, I didn't know an unknown pain erupted in my heart, making all my never shut down... But Megan wiped her tears and said...
"You chose to trust people who killed our child over me, Daniel, what you expect from me... If not to get trick you into signing the paper"
"Why didn't you tell me, Megan, why... "
"Are you trying to act as if you forgot what happened that day, or you really forgot... When you came back from your business trip, seeing me slap your mother, you went so mad, you slapped me and blamed me for not caring for our kid... And left with your mother"
I stood there dumbfounded, listening to her complain, ya a it was true, I lost all my composer on that day when I saw Megan slapping my mother, I didn't even listen to her when she came to me, to say something... I thought she wanted to explain herself for what she as done, but I didn't know she wanted to tell me that mother was back of her accident that killed our child, and almost killed her as well... I regretted not listening to her the day, I had known the truth... But it's too late, Megannhad left K city by then, I need to find things to keep her happy now... Then I said
"I agree it was my mistake, I had enough punishment for it... Just give me another chance to correct my mistakes... Please "
But I heard no answer, only a beep sound, Megan had cut my call when looked up from my phone, it shook my being, Megan was crying, so badly, her body trembled, I just want to rush to her and take her in my arms, making her feel safe, but I was not able to, which made me hurt myself, while I was not able to compose myself, Mrs Saly came up in hurry, seeing Megan cry, she just bent down and hugged her, Megan like a small kid went into Mrs Saly's arms and cried out all her grief, while I stood there watching her cry, with my heart bleeding for her...
After an hour is so, I saw Megan walking out of her house, in a white dress, as nothing happened... She drove her car out of the township... I took my phone and called a flower shop near to her office...
Megan Pov
I had a long day... the call from Daniel was another thing to think... as I was in my thought, I was informed by the front desk that, I got a call from an unknown number, thinking it must be again Daniel... I picked the call to give him good scolding, but to my surprise, it was my long lost old friend Jia... I was shocked... When I said
"Jia is it really, you... "
She cried and confirmed it was her, and she is stuck in a mental asylum in a small city near Seattle, and she saw me as an owner of the famous resort on TV, some how-to managed to make this call from asylum... And even she said, she's been tortured there, and begged me to save her... I didn't know what to say, while the call got cut, I asked my hacking team to hack the number and get the address, I got the address, but should I call the police or anyone else I thought and called Edward to join me for lunch, as I needed to talk to him, he agreed... Then next day when I sat in my sit out, again I got a call from Daniel, he reopened all my wounds once again, making it bleed with pain, I a have a heart I went my office... and stood there at what saw, the whole walkway from my car to the entrance of my office was filled with rose... With some words on it...
"Iam sorry"
and a person came carrying a bouquet with a note when I read it, my eyes started to could...
" I am sorry, for not trusting you, I love you so much, please give me another chance..."
