"What?", I asked him."I know your plan is this make him fall in love with you before admitting your feelings", he said."That is a pretty elaborate plan for someone who has moved on from you ", I said thinking of the leggy brunette I saw him with the other day."Maybe he has a lot of women in his life because he hasn't moved on", said he thoughtfully."I don't want to revisit the past Jamie", I said."I know I'm coming on too strong. I can't help it he is like a brother to me", said Jamie."It is nice that he has someone who looks out for him", I said to him. He smiled in response."By the way, this is Mace his project. We are kind of going all in for this baby. Matt must trust you so much otherwise he wouldn't have asked me to show it to you", he said.He said placing a laptop that he held in my hand. I watched that he had opened a PowerPoint presentation. I have never seen Matt in a professional environment. He was clear-cut and precise in his words. I was mighty impressed with his
I got dressed up to meet Parker in a restaurant. I knew he would be waiting for me. He wanted to talk to me and that was fine. But I had told Matt that I would stay away from Parker. I wanted to gain his trust. So I had to make sure that we were not seen. The place I chose was a little far and secluded. I took my Audi and it hurt me a little that I was driving a car gifted by Matt. Parker loved me but he was always against gifts and I wasn't a shallow person it never mattered until today. I wished Matt showed the same attitude towards me like he was treating Parker. Then this won't sound that bad.I was waiting at the restaurant and Parker showed up his eyes were tired. I wondered why he looked so. Was Matt doing something else besides taking away all his contracts?"What happened Parker?", I asked him."I went to a club last night", he said putting on a pair of sunshades to cover his blue squinting eyes."Ok", I said a little relieved."Have you gotten anything?", he asked me impatie
Once I was done with the shower. I realised that there was no towel. I was so much embarrassed that I didn't check before. I stood there cold and cursed myself to be an idiot. To my amazement, Matt knocked on the door and offered me a towel which I gratefully accepted. He was watching me with hooded eyes and I blushed like a new bride. He didn't push the door or attempt to touch me and I was relieved at that because I didn't know whether I was strong enough to stop him. I came outside the bathroom wearing the towel. I saw him on the outside through the glass doors. Thankfully I quickly wore a dress and with nothing else to do decided to join my husband."This place is really beautiful", I said to him."Yes it is", he said looking at me. I wasn't sure what he was talking about his eyes stayed on mine locking me."We can't go out trekking out at night. So catch up on your sleep and wake up tomorrow", he said."I slept in the jet so I'm not tired", I told him."What do you want to do?",
"What is it?", he asked concern in his eyes."My father is in hospital", I said bursting into tears. To my surprise, he hugged me and I didn't care that he was my enemy. I wanted someone to hold me I was falling apart. "I want to see him", I managed to say."We will be leaving right away", he said soothing me. I concentrated on breathing. I didn't want to have a panic attack when my father needed me. He made the calls for our flight.We reached the hospital and there was Mrs Singh our housekeeper as well as Lisa. Even though he had been cruel to them both they cared for him and he will realise it today."How is he?", I asked."Mrs Singh found him struggling to breathe. She called the ambulance. The doctors say that it was a minor attack", she said."Oh god!", I said."Can we see him?", I asked desperately."Not yet. But he is showing progress according to that nurse", she said pointing out to a random nurse. She smiled at us.I decided to stay here and let them go because I was the d
"Don't worry he is going to be alright", said him. I looked away else he would see my deep hurt."Get some sleep", he said withdrawing his fingers from my face.I gently laid down on the bed thankful that I had avoided a confrontation tonight. He was giving me some space but that didn't provide him any form of sympathy for me. I'm going to make him accountable for his past mistakes. He should expect no mercy from me.Morning I woke up early but Matt had already left the bed. I got freshened up and got ready for office. I went to Mrs Morgan caretaker of both the house and the people."Had Matt already left?", I asked her."No he is working from home", she said dismissively."Ok. I will make coffee for him", I said."He only likes coffee made by me or himself", she said as a matter of pride.I wanted to roll my eyes at her silly attitude. But I was determined to be nice to her. I went to see Matt. He is at home and is working which means he had the laptop with all the details of his next
"Meredith I'm a simple man wanting simple things in life. I only ask for three months of regular marriage. I don't want to be a sexually frustrated man unable to make love to his wife. I don't want you to break up with your boyfriend for a marriage which is for namesake ", he said." That is not all. I'm not ready to have sex with you Matt", I said."Ever?", he asked me calmly but I saw a storm brewing in his eyes."For some time, I wanted to get to know you. These five years both of us have changed. It is like living with a new person. I can't just do something deeply private with a guy I barely knew", I said."You know me, Meredith. I'm Matt who played checkers with you", he said."Please don't I don't want to remember that guy. You asked me to forget that time. I did as you asked please don't make me remember it", I said."If you think so. Let us get to know each other first. I don't want to hurt you or force you to do things against your wish. I will always respect your desires Mer
"You didn't sign a prenup", he said."So?", I asked him."After the three months of the contract is over you will return but with half of his fortune", he smiled twistedly while saying this."That is not possible he must have made some clause similar to it", I protested."Did you read the contract you little fool?", he asked me."Yes", I said hesitantly."That is what I'm saying you can't see it because it is not there", he said."I won't file a case demanding money Father. I don't want it", I said to him."You will. I'm your father and you will listen to me, Meredith. You are always crying about losing Parker. Don't you want to be his wife?", he asked me."Yes but not like this", I said."This is the only way Meredith and you better listen to me. I don't want you to ruin my plans", he said menacingly.I decided to shut up. I wasn't afraid of my father. I was only worried that arguing with him would make him irritated and his recovery would be affected. I knew whatever my father was p
I still wasn't getting any idea of what was happening around here. Why did Parker want me to be here? I knew this place didn't look or sound safe at all. I probably should get out. But I don't know how."Here this a simple chip you just have to insert this baby into the laptop. The rest we can do. Make sure the Internet is on while you are doing this. This can be seen so don't leave it out there. Any questions?", he asked me."I haven't done this before. I'm not sure I will be able to do this easily", I said.The boy started laughing like a maniac. I watched Parker shocked. He looked a little uneasy too."Thanks, Cam. I will teach you how", he said and took the chip. "Let us go Mer", he said taking me out for f there. I saw the other guy wave to him but he didn't answer it."Parker, what is the meaning of this? Who are those people?", I asked him uncontrollably. "Calm down Mer. I will take you home", he said leading me to his car.I got inside but still, he didn't give me any answer.
