From Boardroom to Bedroom

Episode 4

STEVE’S POV

I was well pleased with how the meeting went, I mean I've never lost a deal but making decisions with a lady by my side was new and she had no course to make me doubt her, even if I was dismissive and a pain in the ass as a way of getting back at her.

My phone rang as I got into my car, darn it. It was nobody but pain in the neck Meg.

I wonder why she had call me today of all days.

Meg was tall and curvy, a model for a cover magazine but for the last two years we had dated I had known no peace.

"Hi Meg. "

"Hello darling. " she said in a sultry tone. "Did you just say "hi Meg?’ “

I rolled my eyes. "I'm sorry, can I call you back. " I said. "I'm driving. "

"Okay. " She drew out the word. "But don't keep me waiting, lover boy. "

"Okay I won't. “: I replied trying to ways of dodging her and her troubles and going over to Joe's.

"I'm preparing something delicious for you. "

I rolled my eyes upwards in confusion trying to place two and two together, hoping she wasn't at my place.

Because the last time she did, she had pestered me about us getting married and it had ended ugly.

"Are you at a restaurant? " I tried to find out where she was.

"No baby, I'm at your place. "

The sentence alone made my heart cease to beat, I stepped on the brake bringing the car to an abrupt stop.

"What did you say? " I asked as I quickly began to drive, I cursed under my breathe.

"I'm in the kitchen right now. " She cooed and the kine went dead.

By the time I got home, the thought of sacking my house keeper came to my mind. Why was she let in today of all days?

"Babyyy. " She ran to me throwing me off, I almost stumbled. She threw her hands around me.

"So how was your day? "

"Fine. " I replied sharply.

last thing I ever wanted in my woman, is someone who invades my space. Saturday was the next day and I had planned my weekend and here was Meg.

I groaned inwardly.

"Let me go and change. " This was a ploy to keep her waiting but no sooner had I come out of my room neatly dressed and made to the room, I saw Meg going through my stuffs and laptop.

"What are you doing? " I yelled. "Have you gone nuts, has it come to this extent that you have to poke your nose in my affair? "

"I'm not doing that; just help you check... "

"Check what, you lousy thing. "

She gasped; her hands flew to her chest.

"And why are you putting on my shirt. " I asked realizing she had it on all this while. "And who allowed you into my house. "

"Don't talk to me like that, I'm your soon to be wife, I deserve all the respect you ...."

I scoffed. "You, my wife. You are not fit to be my wife; Lord have mercy in the man that will have you as a wife. "

She raised her hand to slap me and I held it in midair.

"You just used and dumped me. " she said a cry coming up her throat. "For the past two years we dated, you...... You.... You never loved me, Steve. "

"Now. " I heard her arm very tight. "Go in there take your few dirty things and leave my house, I told you we were done but you still force yourself on me and get it into your thick skull, I never loved you, Meg, never, we weren't an item. "

. The shock on her face was worth dying for, it was quickly replaced with s

anger and contempt.

"You. " She raised a shaky finger. "I swear, I will deal with you, I'll make you pay. Watch me. "

-------------------------------------------

It’s been a week since Meg came over and I had given her a piece of my mind.

I was in my living room, deep kissing one of my new found girlfriends as she sat on my laps unaware of the phone that was ringing.

"Sorry, I had to take that. " I said and got up as I moved away from her.

"HI, Dad." I couldn't finish as his angry voice came into the receiver.

"You ingrate of a son, what have I not done to give you the best in life, why have you chosen to disgrace me so. "

"What's going on, what's with all this name calling. " I asked confused.

"I lost a contract because of your scandal!!" He thundered. "Go check the internet, your pictures are flying around, you just can't stick to one woman. "

"Father, I'm grown and I'm accountable to whatever is going on, you don't have to scream whenever you call me!" I said to him angrily. I ended the call and went through my phone to see what he was talking about.

The headlines were alarming and pictures of Meg and I flooded the internet. Wait, lots of my pictures with other women, at the club, at the resort, one of the pictures was of me kissing a strange woman, the other had me hugging my secretary.

How was I not careful knowing that the media houses were always lurking around fishing for something to stay relevant.

Wait, what was going on

Then I stumbled upon a video… wait… hold up... Meg

was seated with a podcaster answering questions about our relationship and damn she's really done her worse.

She looked into the camera facing her, as if talking to me.

"I warned Steve, I told him all these women would ruin him, I only wanted a perfect ending for us, then I got to find out that his secretary had done multiple abortions for him." She sniffed into a white handkerchief and shook her head.

What a perfect actress.

"When I heard of the abortion, I called Steve and guess what, he called off our wedding. "

I became shock and confused at the same time.

What wedding.
