I got discharged on the same day on my demand. Neither my doctor nor Matt agreed with my decision. But I didn't want to waste my time in the hospital because my father was already in the hospital. Being in the hospital is going to send some bad signals to people who have invested in our company. Matt had been with me all the time. I was very taken aback by his kindness towards me. He gently held me while I tried to walk. I was completely disgusted by my weakness. He pressed for me to take more rest in here but I wasn't going to allow my enemy to tell me how I'm going to live."You don't have to do that", I said when I saw him pick up my shoe for me."Relax I'm doing you no favour. I want you to get better so that we can fight some more", he said with a chuckle."We should take easy on the fights. I didn't want to end up in the hospital again", I said."You didn't reach the hospital because of me", he said.Does he even believe his own words? I was in trouble from the very first day I
I hated remembering my past or anything to do with that. Lisa knew my tough times but she didn't have any idea of how much it broke me. I should tell her. I had a deep feeling that she needed to know what transpired between me and Matt. My father had forbade me from talking about Matt to anyone. Lisa too knew only a little about my past. When I left I only hinted at Lisa of where I was going but I hadn't told her why. She knew certain things like how I met Matt and then I pursued him. She knows that I got married to him. My heart was broken after which I divorced him. But it is still so far from the painful truth. I should tell her. I was about to but she interrupted me."I hate to see you in pain and tears Mer. I'm sorry for saying that. But I want you to be happy and I think being with Matt will help you", she said."No. It is going to be much worse for me if I ever had to be with Matt. It is already so much painful", I said to her."I know only a little but if you ever care to shar
My dad was finally home and I decided to check on him. I too was recuperating from my recent anxiety attack. But I knew I couldn't wait long sitting at home. I needed to be in my office to get things done. Parker couldn't lend me money as I hoped. He wanted me to provide details of another bid. I don't think I want to do it anymore. This wasn't me. This lying was killing me. I want to win but the right way. I feel a lot better I gave Parker a fair ground for competing with Matt the next time. I thought I hated Matt but in reality, I was the one who was a mess. I should take control of my life before Matt or my father crushes it.Matt had left for office and I got ready. I saw that my bodyguard was already waiting for me. I wondered how swiftly he arrived here. He probably lives around here. Maybe he lives in the same house who knows? It is already big enough with multiple entrances.When I gave him directions for home. He was relieved. He probably thought that I was going back to my o
I had always been a worrier and being back at the office as the CEO hadn't changed that. I was nervous as hell when I walked into a board meeting. The senior member Carlos is a sweetheart and probably the only guy who will back me up. I can't even say that about my father. I made the changes that I had decided in my mind already. Lisa gave me a look when she saw my first order as CEO. I gave her a wink in return and she laughed. I knew there would be hell to pay at the board meeting."What do you think you are doing Meredith?", asked Daniel another senior member and the only guy who hates my guts. He thinks that woman shouldn't be allowed outside their home. He is old school but he sat in an important position so he should have let go of his backward thoughts a long time ago. But he isn't able to and that was a big problem for me and every woman in the office."I hope my father informed you that he made me CEO for the next six months", I said."He had informed us of the same but that
We had a quick dinner each of us wanting to finish it up as soon as possible. We walked together to the bedroom which had been now used by me alone. He didn't come to sleep in here after I was hospitalised. I stood routed to the door unable to move further inside. He was closely behind and sensed my hesitation but he wasn't angry at me or anything."Still not sure?", he asked me. I could see him searching through my eyes as if to look for answers. I didn't seem to have any and it left him dissatisfied. He thought I would be eager to go to bed with him after our actions in the living room where anybody could have caught us easily but in the privacy of my bedroom, it seemed I was afraid of something though I didn't know what."I'm sorry", I said not knowing what to say."Tell me what is it? You know now that I'm not going to take away your company or take revenge on you", he said."It is not that. I'm afraid to rekindle our connection. I'm scared to go through everything once again it w
I had managed to take a small break from work and went to meet Parker through the back door of my office. I knew I shouldn't continue doing this since it was a kind of betrayal especially when my husband had hired me a bodyguard. It would be a huge insult to them both. I didn't want to do anything that I would regret in the future. Once I was seated in the restaurant I felt uneasy I didn't know why but I felt something was going wrong. He made me wait a little bit and I was very annoyed at him for that. I won't be going to meet him after this time no matter what happens. Even if my husband doesn't honour his words and take back my company I will find a way to repay him and claim it back."You are late", I said to him."Sorry Babe the traffic was very bad", he said regretfully."What do you want to talk to me about?" I asked him."Our future Babe. I wanted to tell you how much I miss you. I was wondering why you are putting distance between us?", he said regretfully."I'm not putting a
He hadn't been home it had been past midnight. I had already asked Mrs Morgan she said she had no idea where he was. Thankfully she wasn't very keen on reading gossip or checking social media so she doesn't know much about what happened. So I didn't push her for further information. I didn't know why I was feeling so uneasy. It wasn't like I was cheating on Matt. Yes, I did something but I didn't know at that time the damage of what I was doing. I only thought of helping Parker but then I got to know how Parker had taken more than he had claimed. I was shocked and didn't expect him to take advantage of me like that.I have made a huge mistake and maybe I owe more money to Matt than before. I'm willing to pay all the damages I have caused. I only wished he listened to what I said but considering the situation it was very unlikely. But I wasn't one of those who accepted defeat easily. I wanted to tell him the truth and take my punishment. But I won't allow him to tuck me away unheard an
I left his room heavy-hearted. I shouldn't feel bad about this because it was somewhat expected of me. The bitterness remains between us no matter how much we try to forget the past. I went to my bedroom to sleep and took my medicines. My sleep schedule was now getting late because of personal issues as well as the medication I was taking. On the morning I managed to wake up a little early and went down to get my breakfast. I saw him sitting with a newspaper on the dining table. He was always like that even when he was poor. He would read all the news and still manage to smile at me. I would hang into those smiles like a possessed woman.I decided to sit on the table unseen but he lifted his eyes from the paper. He held my gaze and I felt a shiver running down my spine. I wasn't afraid or threatened in any way but still, he could shake up my confidence with a glance. I was relieved when he withdrew his eyes to the paper. I managed to eat my breakfast too fast to avoid this awkwardness
