Megan woke up with black eyes she didn't have a good night rest giving that she was worried about Ella.

She has thought on meeting Jared and asking for his help last night as she knows that Betty cannot come up with such amount unless they get help from someone else.

She had the crazy idea of asking him when she saw post about him last night and has brush it off due to their history but by this morning she decided to do it as a human life was at stake so her pride was nothing to her at the moment. She just have to do it even if it means begging she would.

Ella is her god-daughter and to her, they were are family after all this years so she will do anything for them.

She went to his corporation and was so surprised that she was granted easy access to see him without any hassle which baffled her alot.

The receptionist and called his assistant who had come over to pick her up and lead her to his office.

She has walk slowly beside him dreading the meeting as she has not seen Jared again for years after she left school and even then, they didn't really speak much as she was the one trying to speak to him while he brush her off.

"Yes", a husky voice said as the assistant knocks on his office door.

His voice was another thing that she loved and it has become more deeper and it was dripping sexually which has always been a turn on for her.

She inhale sharply as she walk in following his assistant into the office.

"Good morning", she said standing in the front of his desk while he was sitting down staring at her with the deepest blue eyes she has ever seen in her life.

" Leave us", he said  to his assistant who left immediately and gently close the door behind him.

Left alone with him, she suddenly lost her voice taking in how he looks, the truth was pictures of him she has seen didn't do any justice to how he really looks cause she discovered he was more handsome and Charming oozing sexuality without even trying.

"What do you want? ", He asked as he look her up and down flippantly which made her feel so self-conscious about what she was wearing and how she looks.

" I know I don't really have the right to be here but please I need your help", she said calming even though she was fidgeting inside.

" I asked again what do you want?", He asked staring at her.

" I need money ", she said filled with shame as she told him.

" I know I shouldn't be here but I really needed it please", she said when she noticed he was about to speak.

" Are you kidding me?", He asked in disbelief.... surprised at her audacity.

"Please I beg you, I do need it urgent if it wasn't really important I won't be here", she said begging as she clamp her hands together.

" This is really a surprise, how much ? ", He asked her.

" I need 300 thousand dollars, please", she answered him as she prayed within her that he gives her the money.

"That isn't much", he said looking at her and she heaved a relief when she heard that.

"Thanks so much, you don't know how grateful I am for this", she said with a smile.

" Hold on I haven't finish talking yet , yes the money is little but that doesn't mean I will give you my hard earned cash giving the history we have together", he said.

" I will pay you back please ", she begged without Shane.

She didn't need one cause she needed to a save a life which is more important.

" Don't even think that doing this will work, I am not giving you any dime ", he sneered angrily at her.

" Please, please please", she pleaded cause she knew she couldn't get the money elsewhere.

He never heed her plea but asked her to be forcefully ejected from his office.

She left his company dejected wondering what next she could do her mind racing and thinking were she could get such amount of money from.

Until three days later when her phone ranged.

" Hello", she said picking it.

" I am lewis Murphy, the personal assistant to Mr Jared Macallam", the voice at the other end said.

" Yes, I am listening ", she said now fully anticipating and hoping against hope that it is concerning what she asked days ago.

"Mr Jared said he agreed to what you asked for earlier but there are conditions attached to it ", he replied.

She was perplexed after hearing the words" conditions", wondering what this is all about that she almost missed his next words.

"You are going to have to be married to him", he stopped talking.

She was so shocked and find it hard to believe that she had to asked" please can you repeat your last words , you mean marry Jared?".

"Yes and he needs the answer in 5minutes, he said if you refuse after that he won't grant you an audience if you later decides to have a change of heart",he answered.

She was so shocked that she didn't reply immediately and marrying him was never the condition she expected from him.

She was thinking it will be a form of loan which should could pay back but slowly. She has already prepared to scrimp and scrump until she could pay the money back when the time comes but not marriage.

" Miss Megan are you there? " The PA asked when he noticed her long silence

His words brought her back to the present and she replied ' yes I am here" quickly.

"Then what is your answer ", he asked her

" I agree to his condition ", she said and she had to not as if she was giving time to think and even if she was she didn't have any other options just this one.

" Alright then I will inform you if your meeting with him soon",. He said and went off.

She slumped on her chair in defeat wondering what she will be signing up for by this decision she has made.
