Jared spent the entire day in his room, not even bothering to eat cos he was so shocked about his discovery and he didn't know how to face her.

He was lying down on the bed , he took his phone and dialed a number.

" Hey! Lewis can you get me a report on all My wife has been doing for the last eight years ', he said on the phone to his secretary .

" Sure , sir ", the voice at the other end responded and he put his phone down . He was feeling so guilty and the same time restless about the whole thing.

He stood up and began to pace all over the room.

" How was he going to face Megan ", he thought as he paced with his hands jammed in his joggers pockets.

He really didn't know how he was going to go about this but he knows that he can't waste time by not doing the right thing cos he understands that a lot will have been going through her mind all this time.

He decided to go to her room, so he left his room and walked to her door where he proceeded with knocking it.

He heard the sound of the door opening and he went inside the room.

As he got inside, he closed the door and turned to face her.

Her eyes was red rimmed from all the tears she had shed and he felt his heart hurts.

" Angel, I am so sorry", he said as he look into her eyes trying to read her emotions, wanting to hold her but scared of being rejected.

Her eyes flew open to look at him with surprise when she heard him call her "Angel" , she hasn't heard him say that to her since the morning before the incident that changed their lives.

She ran towards him to hug him while he opened his arms to receive her.

She sobbed nerve racking tears as he held her, she felt so relieved after so long that she just wept for all the pains she went through.

He held her tight as she wept feeling awful knowing if he had trusted her, she won't have passed through all she did.

It took him hours before he could calm her down.

He was lying down on her bed while she lay beside him with his arms all wrapped up around her , she was sleeping after crying for a long time and was tired.

He wasn't feeling too good either, the guilt of everything was eating him up.

The way she just accepted him without getting angry was eating him up and making him wondered why he ever believed that she could cheat on him , the same woman who has been like an open book to him and the woman that if tables where turned he knows will never doubt him.

He heard his phone vibrates, he had an incoming call , he had put it on vibration immediately he noticed that Megan has fallen asleep. 

He looked at the phone and saw it was his assistant so he slowly remove his arms from her, trying not to wake her up.

He took the phone and went to the balcony and he spoke lowly " what are your findings", he asked.

" It is not good sir", lewis informed him from the other end.

" Just tell me ", he said as he sighed while running his finger through his hair.

" She waited tables, clean the toilets,sweep the street basically every odd jobs you can think of ", he informed him.

" But she has a first class degree? ", Jared asked surprised.

" But no one will employ her, sir everyone fears incurring your wrath", he told him.

He closed his eyes trying to regulate his breathing as tears slipped down his eyes.

He didn't know what to say.

"I need a copy of the report delivered, I will go through it myself", he said then cut the call and switch off his phone.

He needed some time to process what he has just heard.

He leaned against the balcony with remorse and thought about what Megan must have really gone through and decided that things will be better now.

He promised within himself that he was going to ensure that she had the best life from now henceforth.

He was  going to make her happy always like she has always deserve.

The whole discovery today was making him feel so sad and guilty.

Megan stir from the bed and slowly use her hands to search for him without opening her eyes and after a futile search , opened her eyes and search all over the room for him then went on a full mode panic wondering if she had dreamed him up the first time.

That what she thought was real early was just a dream and tears slipped down her eyes as she screamed his name.

This got Jared running into the room and quickly went to hold her " angel, it is okay", he said as he held her.

" I was so scared, I thought I dreamt you up that it wasn't real ", she told him shaking as she held him tightly.

" It is real, we are back together ", he said feeling awful that she was still scared that he will leave.

Her feeling insecured broke him but he understand where she was coming from.

" I promise we will never be apart again, I am so sorry ", he said as he kissed her forehead gently.

" Please don't ever leave me, I miss you so much", she told him as she placed her head where she could hear his heartbeat.

" I miss you too and I am sorry for ever doubting you", he told her " I should have trusted you but I didn't and I am really sorry", he said.

" It is okay, I am happy you are here with me now and that is all that matters ", she said looking at him with a smile.

She loves Jared so much and she was just glad that everything that happened in the past was over.

They were back together and that is what matters to her.
