Nonetheless, she wouldn’t admit it. She wouldn’t admit that she lost to Selena. In her eyes, Selena was nothing but scum.
“And honestly, Selena didn’t turn our lives into living hell. We did. If you hadn’t taken her children away; if you hadn’t told Pierre you were their mother; if you hadn’t come up with that plan to approach him, you wouldn’t have gotten sold off to the brothel. And as for me…” Megan teared up. “If I hadn’t hooked up with Finneas, I wouldn’t have gotten myself into this mess. Yes, Selena’s cruel, but we did this to ourselves.”
As Megan spoke, she stared downward, but she wasn’t going to let herself fall further into despair. “Forget about Selena, Merry. Forget about your grudge. Think of this as a lesson. Dust yourself off and keep moving on.” She patted Meredith’s head. “All we have to do is live our lives quietly. Let bygones be bygones, huh?”
“Yeah, sure…” Meredith drawled, but she scoffed silently. What a loser. She’s terrified of Selena. “Whatever you say. You saved me, after all.”
Of course, Megan knew Meredith was still angry, but she didn’t think much about it. She thought Meredith was still traumatized from her time at the brothel, so she’d leave Meredith to her own devices. She’ll get it one day. Then, Megan threw Linda’s name card away. “I hope she won’t contact me again.”
“I’m feeling tipsy, Megan. Can you go out, please? I want to sleep.”
“Of course. Sleep tight. I’ll be off now.” Megan left her alone after that, but the moment she did, Meredith scooped the card out of the trash can, and she saw that Linda’s number was written on it.
“You might be scared, Megan, but I’m not. I’ll get her for us.” She smirked.
