An Orphan for A Wife

MEGHAN's POV
Im awake when I realized that Im in my room. As I remember, I overtook of drowse in Gov's office last night. Im busy for preparing my document that I need to pass as soon as posible. My graduation day is near, and my birth certificate are still complicated.
I stood up and go to the bathroom. I washed my face of a clean of water together with my skin care. After I made my morning routine, I go outside when I saw Governor Lucas standing on the door.
"G-Gov..." I said while my head is lookdown on the ground.
"You was slept on my office last night, that's why you're here," he said while carrying the tray of foods.
"Sorry, Gov," I replied. I shy, he taking me in my room.
"Just eat your breakfast, okay?" He smiled as he response.

"Yeah, sure. Thank you, Gov," I smiled as I replied too.

"I'll go ahead, baby girl," he kissed my forehead and started to walk.

He is my adoptive father. He adopted me when I was fifteen years old. And now, I'm turning to twenty-two. I practiced to call him 'Gov'. I don't want to assume that Im her biological daughter even though he never treat me like other.
He is the governor in this area. Residents loves him that's why he never lose on his position.

I eat the food that gov's served to me. After that, I wear a simple fitted dress. I gonna submit my documents to dean.

"Madame, the car is ready," My driver greet me with a smile on his lips
Since Gov have a lot of cars, he gave it to me as my service. I entered on my car. And after a few hours, we almost here. This school owns by Mr. Andres, the close friend of Givernor Lucas.

I never suffered bullying here. Governor already told to them that Im her daughter. Only one man that never treat me in a good condition. The son of the owner of this school.
"Meg! Here!"

I go to Sapphire's area.

"Meh look! He is here! Gian Andres!" Sapphire's screeching. I looked back and I saw him.
"Oh? Why are you gawked to him?" Sapphire said while smirking.

"Shut up, Angel!" I rolled my eyes to her and I stared on Gian.

"Yuck! Stop it! MEGHAN HALE CREDO!" She emphasized the word Credo. I gave her a death glare as I replied.

"LEWIS. NOT CREDO," I said seriously.
"Okay, Okay! MEGHAN HALE LEWIS!"

I look back on Gian's position, but I saw him talking that stupid girl!
"Oh, he is with Francine. So sad," Sapphire annoyed me.

My fist is going to close when I saw them, especially how Francine's smiled to him.

"Do you stop or you stop?" I feel annoyed to her presence. She smiled as she replied on my question. She did'nt scared to me.
She is a niece of Governor, that' s why she always be irritated to me.
I entered on Dean office. After I submit my documents, we continous to go in Cafeteria.
The successful smile that draw on my lips when I saw Francine walking toward us. She carrying a tray with glass that full of juice and some plates.

I intentionally disrupted her. The reason why the tray was fallen on the floor and the juice corked on her dress.

"Oppp, sarreh," I said with my sweetest smile.

She put down on the table before she face me.
Uh, so she want to fight with me?

"What's your problem, Meghan?" she asked.
I smile to her before I speak.
"Seriously? Till now you don't know why? Stupid," I said and laughing as a fake one.

"Because of him? That's not my fault if he still approaching me, Meghan,"

"Then stay away from him. You're such as slut!" I said.

"I already did, Meghan. I avoid him but he still wants me —"

"Stop acting that you're beautiful, Francine. Because you are still a stupident here. I warn you. STAY. AWAY. FROM. HIM," I said and rolled my eyes.

"What is happening here?" Gian asked me.

"Francine? What happened?" he worried asked to Francine. My blood started to boil.

"Why your uniform is so mess?" he stared at me.

"Ah Gian, I sprained on the corners of that table, that's why—"
"I'll check the CCTV. For now, go to dean's office," he said.
"WHAT?! But Gian, she already said that she was sprained on the corners," I defensed myself to Gian.
It's so annoying! I feel Im going to burn right now! He stared at me once before he go outside the cafeteria
"What's your next plan? For sure, Gian do his best to know everything. He will know that you intentionally hit her," Sapphire's worried to me.
"Stupid Francine! Argh! You'll pay for this! We're not done yet!"

I quickly wen to the dean's office while waiting for Gian. Francine's friend who looks like maid is also here. Dean entered with Gian.
“Hi, Dean,” I greeted him. He is a friend of Gov.
“Oh Hija,” he greeted me with a smile.
Gian quietly followed behind. While Francine just stared at Dean.
“Ms. Lewis, we need to talk to Governor Lewis. And Ms. Credo, you can change your clothe now. Here. Just wear it temporary,” Gian said while holding a paper bag to Francine.
“WHAT ?! What do you mean, Gian?” I asked him.
“We already checked the CCTV. And we saw that is your fault,” he added.
“But Gian, you know Gov can't come here because he's busy.”
“Then we can hold your graduation march.”
“Are you serious ?! You can't do that!” I said.
“Ah Ms. Credo? You may leave now,” Dean said. The four of us were left here.
“Gian, you can't do this to the daughter of the governor," Dean defending me. He is really my ally, he is just afraid of Gov.
“But Dean that is her fault.”
“Hija, you have tk leave. I'll talk to Gian okay?” he said to me. I just smiled. He voted for me for his son.
“Thank you, Dean,” I said while smiling and looked at Gian. He was just looking at me.
"You're really different, Meg. Even Dean seems to have gotten inside ah?" Said Sap.
"Well, it should be. I'm his soon-to-be daughter-in-law," I said and smiled.
"Well, what do you plan to do for your ex-sister?" he asked.
"Stop saying that! She is not my sister. I'm a Lewis not a Credo," I said and continued walking.
"So you're going to let Gian don fall forever on that bitch?" he asked.
"Of course not! She ruined my life then, will she ruin it now? Im not the old Anya Credo. I'm MEGHAN HALE LEWIS now."
Yes, she is my ex-sister. I was Anya Credo. She slandered me to dad and mom so they kicked me out. They didn't even explain to me. Because their favorite child is Francine. I used to stay with my relatives in case I was embarrassed, so I just slept on the street. I even worked as an assistant to Gov that time, so I stopped studying. But he studied and took care of me. He said he would just adopt me. That is why I'm here now. I also changed my birth certificate. All my details were changed. Bettina became my adoptive mother which is ex of Gov.
"Meg, someone is looking for you." I looked at Sapphire. He is letting a man in.
"Hi, Meghan my loves," he said and smiled at me.
Jobert. The varsity player captain. His family is also a rich friend of Gov.
“For you,” he said and reached for the flower.
“I hate flowers,” I refused.
“Meg too!”
“What? I hate flowers you know that,” I told to her while looking at the flowers that Jobert was carrying.
“Ah is that so? For you, Sapphire. Next time ill changed it," he said with a smile.
I always rejected him. I told him that I wanted Gian and no one else. But here he is, never stop flirting with me.

Meghans POV

I'm on my way home from the mall. What time is it and my driver is still gone? Maybe Gov commanded him to look for me.
Im busy to wait when someone called on my phone. So I answered that.
“Angel,” I greeted her.
“Stop it Hale!”
“You called?” I asked as I looked around the road.
“Tito has been looking for you for a while. Where are you?” she asked.
“I'm going home.”

I hang up it immediately, that bitch would ask a lot of questions so it would be better if I end it. I was walking to the terminal. Maybe I'll just take a taxi.
But I have not yet been able to get a taxi when a car stopped by my side. I also stopped and looked in the descending mirror.
“Meghan? Did I really say that is you! Get inside the car!" said Jobert.
I turned around. I would have refused when he got out and opened the other door. The terminal is still far away so I boarded. I can get home easier if I ride. I still have to explain to Gov.

A few more hours passed when we got home. I got off when he opened the car door.
“T-thank you,” I said to him before I turned around and walked away.
I was about to enter the gate when it suddenly opened by Gov.
“G-gov ...” I stammered as he just looked at Jobert seriously.
“Good evening, Governor,” Jobert greeted happily. Gov just nodded and turned to look at me again.
We went inside and sent Jobert home.
“Where have you been?” he asked. I knew he was angry because of his tone.
“At the mall, Gov. I-I bought some books,” I excused myself.
“Why are you with Mr. Villar's son?” he asked again.
“I just met him on the road, Gov. So he took me on board.” I said and bowed.
“From now on, I don't want to see you with another man. Do you understand?” he said.
“Sorry Gov,” I said and just bowed.
But I was surprised when he hugged me.
“I'm so worried about you, Baby girl. Don't do that again,” he was worried.
I just nodded. Fortunately, he was not angry. I went to my room and got dressed.
*****
I'm going to the locker, so I can put my things when I meet Gian.
“Hi! Gian,” I greeted him with a smile. Perfect! I brought my baked cupcakes.
“Meghan ...”
I smiled as I handed him a box of cupcakes.
“For you. I hope you'll eat this. I baked it earlier.”
He reached out and opened it. So I smiled even more when I saw him put it in his bag.
“Thank you for this,” he said with a smile before he left.
“A-ah, Gian. Wait!” I chased him to keep up with his walk. He stopped to look at me.
“Can we--”
“Mr. Andres, Dean calls you,” said of one student.
“Excuse me,” he said and walked over to Dean's Office.
Annoying! Im not done yet mentioned! I was about to return when I met Amara, Francine's friend.
“How is Francine, Amara? Is she at the clinic yet?” I heard Anne ask.
"She's at the Dean Office right now.”
I suddenly looked at Dean's office. So she is the reason to blame why I did not talk to Gian?
“M-meghan?” Amara asked in surprise when she saw me.
“Oh?” I asked calmly.
“N-nothing."
I did not wait for what she would say and I left. I may be late for my next subject.
"Girl! Don't you know the news yet?” Sapphire asked me as she greeted me.
“What?”
“Baseball hit Francine, so she was taken to the clinic because she lost consciousness. According to the other students, Gian investigate it, and for the people who hit Francine, Dean sent the parent for those players. Isn't that sweet?" he said while trembling.
“Shut up!” I said irritably and stared at her. She was just teasing.

And that impact really bothers me ah?
I sat down, after that, our professor came to discuss what to do for graduation day. Next week too. That is why they are so proud because Governor is the special guest, and he will also come up to me for awarding. Even though I was adopted.

I did not neglect my studies unlike the other adopted ones, I was still able to do my best. Stupid. I just want my parent to make proud to me.
“Sir really can't help, but to look at you, Meg,” Sapp said laughing as she looked at Prof. I slightly looked at Prof who suddenly averted his eyes from me.
I'm not assuming but almost all the men here, are distracted by me. I don't know if I have dirt on my face, or they are attracted to me. Something that Gian can't see!
I've been paying attention to him for years, but he's just Francine! Duh! I'm the one he's courting previously, Francine just stole him from me.

Governor did not want to, and I was too young to court. That's why santa-santita agrees. She was stole Gian. Isn't it flirting? I'm one year ahead of Francine. That's why I'm her sister but that woman is really stupid!
“Hey Meghan! What happened?” Sapp asked. I did not notice that we were here in the field. We will practice for march.
“I haven't seen Gian yet,” I said while looking in the other direction.
“I heard from Amara, Gian seems to be at the clinic with Francine.”
Ah so, I walked in the direction of the clinic. I heard Sapphire calling me. I did not look at him and I went straight forward. The students avoid me when they see that I can meet them. I went straight to the clinic. When I turning around, I met Gian.
“Where are you going? The march is already starting.” he says.
“To you. I didn't see you before. So maybe you're in Dean's office,” I let him in.
“I'm from Francine. I'm going to a practice,” he said and was about to leave. I held him so he looked at me.
“Gian, why are you avoiding me? Is it because of what Gov said?” I told him.
“Meghan, it's been a long time. Let's forget it,” he said.
“No! Or because of Francine? Did she ocommand you huh ?!”
“No one commandedcme Meghan, so please stop this! Forgot it,” he said seriously.
“Gian. I still like you! I'll talk to Gov! Didn't your mom and dad vote for me?” I told him.
“Meghan, please. I don't want any more trouble. Stop it.” He removed my hand from his arm.
Why does he not like me? Of all the guys here, he's the one who gave me an interest! I no longer obeyed the Gov's order for him. But he makes me a fool!
I went straight to the clinic, but I was shocked to see them, my mom. They looked at me.
“A-anya ... My daughter...”
“I'm not Anya. It's Meghan,” I corrected what Mom's said.
“And you really have the courage to answer your mother like that!”
“What? I'm just correcting her. I'm not informed that even correcting a mistake is also wrong?”
“BULLSH—”
“Dad, Anya Enough! What do you need?” Francine looked at me badly.
“I said. ITS MEGHAN HALE LEWIS. Stop calling me, Anya,” I teased her. I also looked at her badly.
“Whatever. I don't care what your name, you can't replace the blood of Credo on your body,” she said and smiled. Bitch, isn't it?
“Well, I did. I'm a Lewis now. Because, I'm sick of my last name,” I replied to her before looking at Dad badly. I could see his angry face that almost exploded on him. I left the clinic when I met Sapp.
“Meg!” I ignored her and continued walking. I don't want to cry here. So as I walked I looked up at my face so that my tears would not drip.
“You heard everything?”
She nodded. I took a deep breath before walking again. I need to refresh. I left school while Sapphire followed me.
We went to our hideout. I quickly lit the cigarette the salesman gave me.
"Are you still jealous of Francine?" Sapphire started to make a conversation.
"Why would I? She is not jealous. She will stab her parents in her lungs! Who do not know how to listen to the explanation!" I told her, until the smoke came out of my mouth.
"How about Gian?”
I did not speak. She just snatches everything from me.
“I can forget him and erase to my life. He is not important, If he does not like me, then go!"
“Wow, after many years now you just thought that? You're a different kind of girl.” she said while laughing to me.
“I don't tend to share, especially with people. Stab it in her lungs,” I said annoyed.
“Well, you're right. Girl you're beautiful! Don't waste your beauty on a man that don't care about you," she said.
“Sapphire, I know I'm beautiful,” I told her with a smile.
He will take care of his life. He's not a loss. Why did I just think of that now? When did I look like a fool to chase after many years to him. There are lots of men out there that I deserved.
It's only been a few days and I will never see them again. They will also disappear from my path. I just hope they don't mess up my Mom at home anymore.
I hate to see them happy with Francine. So from now on, I'll try to forget them. Gov. Lucas is my dad. He is my family. So I should not be jealous anymore. They chose to evict me because of their stupid daughter. Then go! They are tough! Because I will never go back to their lives.
And for Gian, I will make sure you'll repent that you chose that bitch over me!

MEGHAN's POV
I was going downstairs when I saw them watching t.v.
"Poor Sir. Accused."
"He's still smart."
That’s what I caught them talking about in front of T.V. They were stunned to see me approaching. I was curious about what they were talking about so I approached.
"Ma'am Meghan ..." the maid said with a bow.
"And what's going on?" I asked them.
" Ma'am, governer was suspected by that woman," said one of our maids.
"What ?! Where is he, Gov?"
"They are now in the precint Ma'am with Mr. Andres and their attorney Mr. Villar," the butler said.
"Mang Ely? Please, the car is ready. I will go to Gov," I called our driver.
"But ma'am Meghan, Sir said don't follow him," said one maid.
"Manang, I need to see Gov okay," I said and left the house.
I was about to get into the car when Gov's car arrived with Mr. Villar.
"Gov! Attorney," I greeted hem.
They came down and Gov scolded me and I waved to the Attorney.
"What happened Gov?" I asked them. We went inside first and they prepared a drink.
"Everything is fine, Baby girl. Don't worry about me okay? The court did not believe on her," said Gov. The thorn in my chest was removed so I could breathe easily.

"They can't ruin my name. Okay?" convincing me by Gov.
I was convinced so I nodded. It's good that I thought he would be imprisoned.
This is not the first time someone has complained to him like that. This is the fourth time and the case is always about rape. That is why they just dismissed the woman's lawsuit because it was impossible for the gov to that things.
I went to school, it's okay to be late because It's just only a practice and get a toga. Well, after four years of college I can also graduate from Polscie.
That's because I see my future. I can replace Gov. That's why I did not hesitate to follow that because he will also pay for everything.
I got to school. Their practice is over and they are getting a toga.
"Meg! Gian has been looking for you before?" Sapp greeted me.
"For what?" I asked.
"For your toga. There are other expectations," she teased.
"Congratulations, Francine! You're really great!" I heard the praise of the friends.
So I raised an eyebrow and approached the bulletin board. It was late because the professors computed the grade so it was only posted here.
Others waved when they saw me approaching the bulletin. Well, I expected this, that I was sumacumlaude--
"Omy! YOU'RE THE MAGNACUMLAUDE, MEG! Congratssss!" Sapphire shouted at me and hugged me.
I was disappointed to see my name written on magnacumlaude. I looked up and saw Francine's name.
I stared at her badly but she smiled at me like a fool.
"BULSHIT!" I shouted and hurriedly left.
I saw Sapp chasing me. I got to the field and dropped the toga I was carrying on the table.
"Stupid Francine! You're stupid asshole," Let me sit down.
"Meg, atleast you're a magnacumlaude. Don't you want it?" Sapp asked
"WHAT I WANT TO DO IS NOT MAGNACUMLAUDE! AND OF ALL PEOPLE WILL GET A POSITION THAT IS FRANCINE?!" I shouted as I clenched my fist.
"Megs, for sure Tito Lucas will also be happy. And he will be proud of you," said Sapp.
"He expected me to be Sumacumlaude. And I don't want to disappoint him! Especially Mom and Dad!"
"Calm down, we can't do anything, Megs. At least you still got the second one. I didn't make it to the top 10," she calmed me down.
She's right, there is nothing I can do to take that position. But I can do something for her. Farewell for her. I smiled at the thought of a bright idea.


"I don't like that smile, Meg," Sapp said scared.
I'm not done yet. There is still graduation. Get ready for me. We're not done.
After I got the gown, we decided to wander around the mall. Maybe I can find a better dress for graduation. I know that Gov prepare it. But this is just extra.
When we finished roaming, we decided to go home. She and her driver also took me home.
But when I entered, no Governor that I saw here.
"Manang? Where is Gov?" I asked the maid.
"He's not ma'am Meghan yet," I raised my eyebrows when she said that. Is it impossible at this time he is not there yet?
I got dressed inside and I went downstairs to eat when I saw Gov with a woman. She is just as young as Aunt Bettina. Gov loves young lady. Because she has a baby face and is still hot even though he is thirty-nine.
"Baby girl ..." he called me while the woman who was beating him smirked at me.
It's beautiful but I don't bet her clothes, she almost just wears panties because I can see her crotch with her shorts being too short.

"She's Marjori. My girlfriend," he introduced himself with a smile.
"Hi baby girl--"
"Stop calling me baby girl. Only Gov has the right to call me that," I said smiling to the woman who seemed embarrassed and just hugged Gov.
I bet Tita Bettina's better than her. She is well-dressed. It is not obvious that she already has a child, because she is still sexy and beautiful.
"Excuse me, Gov," I said and looked at the woman Marjori before walking away.
They followed the dining area and I was even more irritated to see Marjori who was flirting to Gov.
"Ah excuse me? There are lot of chairs here. You don't need to sit on his lap," I said with a smile.
"Oh, no need. I just want to sit on his lap," she said softly and pressed her body even closer to Gov.
I just started eating. Soon, Gov sat in a chair. He still acted while eating. Tss, witch!
When I finished eating, I told them I was going to Gov's office because I was going to get my document. I searched for my previous birth certificate.
"Anya Freya Credo."
Before ripping it off and directing it to the trash. I was about to go upstairs when I heard a moan. For sure that itchy woman again. It's just that the voice is obviously good at playing.
As I climbed, the woman's moan grew louder and louder.
"Seriously? She's really going to moan when she mutters? Will she really be heard what kind of woman she is? A low class!"
I just shook as I climbed the stair. I noticed that the door of Gov 's room.
"That's why too loud and the grunting of that witch can be heard."
I came even closer to see what romance Gov was doing to her as if she was being slaughtered when she muttered.
I peeked through the gaping door and saw how Gov sucked her nipples. He kissed Marjori's neck down . Until it reaches the navel.
Marjori slowly untied by Gov.
I did not know what to do next so I closed the door so that no one could watch them. I went into my room and just got a laptop.
As soon as I opened facebook, Gian and Francine greeted with the caption "Finally. Legal."
"WHAT?!"
I clenched my fist suddenly. What are they legal for?! So they agreed by mom like that?
I pushed the laptop shut down. My day is ruined and they will ruin it. They are annoying!
"ARGH!" I threw my pillow against the wall. I put my laptop away first, duh! It would be a pity if I threw it. It is very expensive. He is also not that important for me to throw my laptop. They can only up to a pillow.
I need to think of a way not to be embarrassed at graduation! I tried to sleep but drowsiness did not visit me. So I went out to drink wine.
When I got down, I saw Gov in the kitchen while pouring the beer into the glass.
"Oh Baby girl, you haven't slept yet?" he asked me.
"I did'nt feel sleepy, Gov," I answered him and smiled. I took a glass and poured the wine into the glass.
"Honeeyyy!" I close my eyes to the shout of that witch.
He approached the witch but she rubbed his arm again.
"I want more," she said softly as he told to Gov.
"Shhh," he stopped. I knew Gov was ashamed of what the woman said so he pulled her up to the room.
I was just shaken, there is no hope that they will be with Aunt Bettina again. But I also will not allow her to be my mother. Duh!
