Chapter 30: The Routine
Meredith was looking out the window in Brayden’s home office when he brought her attention back to him.
“I wanted to go over my routine with you and add a few changes to accommodate married life.” He told her as though they were going over the final details of a business project of some sort. She thought he must see it that way. It was all about business for him. It was a matter of who would become the next CEO, there was nothing more to that. He was married to his work. She figured if he was going to go through with a fake marriage just to keep working harder and harder each day maybe he did deserve to be the next CEO.
“Okay.” She finally responded.
“Everyday I get up at 6 a.m. and go running on the lake then workout,”

Meredith sat down on the love seat in Dino’s room while she waited for her apartment to arrive in boxes as foretold by Brayden. She decided she needed to respond to her messages. She picked up the her phone and hit send then waited. “Hello, Meri.” Her mother answered on the first ring. “Why did you make me wait so long. Why are you moving? What’s going on?” “Hello, Mom. Are you sitting down? I have a lot to say.” Meredith responded with a sigh. “Oh?” “First. I know about Dad and the races.” Meredith began. “Oh…” Her mother whispered and audibly sat down. “Mom, I told you to sit down.” Meredith scolded. “I know, I know but I wasn
My Death Contract Chapter 32: Unpacking
“Hey.” Brayden said as Meredith entered the main room of the condo that held the living and dining areas attached to the breakfast nook and kitchen. He was standing before a wall of boxes. “Can you come with me to the truck? I was going to have them send your furniture to the Salvation Army.”“What?” Meredith didn’t want her stuff given away. It was her stuff. But then what use did she have for it in Braydens furnished condo.“Just come look with me.” A couple of guys walked by with stacks of boxes on dollies as Brayden led Meredith by the small of her back. At first she found the gesture comforting then she realized that he was doing it for show. She sighed and went along with him. This was what her life was now. She had bargained with the evil and lost. More like her parents had made the bargain for
My Death Contract Chapter 33: Home Within a Home
Meredith and Brayden finished going through her clothes and were left were her favorite pajamas, a sundress Chad had picked out for her that she couldn’t part with, two pairs of her favorite jeans, a hoodie from the University of Chicago, and her favorite T-shirt. She kept the outfit that Taylor and her mother had picked out for her which Brayden agreed with as it had gotten his attention. She had a pair of black flats that were worn that she refused to get rid of no matter how much Brayden protested, and a pair of strappy sandals. Everything else in her wardrobe remained in the boxes or on the bed where they had been sorting things.It was late. The wardrobe sorting had taken several hours due to Brayden having to convince Meredith to get rid of things reminding her that they would be replaced. They were both worn out and tired of each other. Brayden excused himself to the office and Meredith went i
My Death Contract Chapter 34: Dinner Questions
Meredith and Brayden were both quiet for some time as they after they shared a brief discussion about how amazing Estrella was. They were silently eating their dinner together. Taylor had taken Meredith to some good cafes for lunch, she was always very proud of her ability to sniff out a good cafe within walking distance for the two of them. She often made sure that there was a good soup selection for Meredith even though she hated Meredith’s slurping. The Purple Pig that Ben had introduced Meredith to was amazing. Everything she had tried was absolutely delicious. She had finished her meal with a fantastic bacon torte a la mode with bacon ice cream. It was one of the best desserts she had ever had. Even though her win consumption for the night was a bit much for obvious reasons, she did thoroughly enjoy the meal and the vibe of the place. It was somewhere she would love to go again to.
My Death Contract Chapter 35: Grooming
Brayden woke Meredith the next morning at 6:30 a.m. He nudged her slightly and softly called out her name.“Meredith, We have to leave soon.” She moaned as her eyes blinked awake. Still not used to waking up in his bed she wondered where she was and assumed she was still dreaming. She looked up at Brayden and paused as her eyes drank him in. He stood in front of her wearing only a towel low on his hips. She swore she was dreaming. He truly was perfect. He had damp disheveled hair from his shower and beads of water speckled across his bare chest, which was quite sculpted. His abs, no words could do them justice. She was in awe and knew this dream was one she would want to savor. She couldn’t look at him with lust in her eyes when she was awake. Meredith slowly reached out and touched the washboard abs of a god. His skin was warm and damp. Her eyes followed the contoured lines that rippled
My Death Contract Chapter 36: Lunch is on Us
Meredith was feeling on top of the world and fully refreshed. She had been anxious of what Brayden’s ‘grooming’ trip would entail. Even after arriving and starting with waxing in places that she preferred be left to her own devices, still the day spa was extremely relaxing. They had even had time to soak in a herbal infused hot tub for a while. Although, she wasn’t happy with being naked in front of Brayden for most of the morning she resolved to enjoy the experience and did indeed enjoy it very much.Meredith walked side by side with Brayden as he guided her through the random stopped tourists littering the sidewalks and across the street to the Grand Lux Cafe where they were to meet their lunch guests. Meredith was intrigued to find out who Brayden had invited to lunch. He didn’t seem the type to have friends, mostly because he didn’t seem to have much time in hi
My Death Contract Chapter 37: Shopping
Meredith turned to Brayden after their lunch guests had left. She had a stern look on her face and meant business. She was so frustrated with herself for having allowed Brayden to come ruin her lunch with Ben.“You set me up.” She said to Brayden accusingly and annoyed.“What?” He looked at her with a mock innocence.“Don’t try to act like you didn’t. Tagging along to lunch, the matching outfits, Babe?”“Well, I am your husband. I have the right to make sure no other man taints what’s mine.” He told her matter of factly and grabbed her hand to lead her through the throngs of clustered tourists and locals navigating around them. Meredith pulled him back. She wasn’t finished. She was furious. Mostly, s
My Death Contract Chapter 38: Round Two
“This is amazing,'' Meredith said mostly to herself between bites. She savored the creamy sauce that slid over her tongue with the fettuccine noodles. The tender medallions practically melting in her mouth. She had never eaten better than the times she was with Brayden. He really knew his food and to have found such an amazing housekeeper that could make these gourmet dinners, he was a talented scout.Maybe that’s why he had scouted Meredith to be his wife. She took a sip of her red wine and sighed deeply thinking about it before taking her next bite. She then noticed that her dishes from her apartment were displayed around the table against the wall on glass shelves as though they were bone china. The mismatched collection of plates, bowls, mugs, and serving dishes were all artistically arranged and presented on the shelves. It brightened up the otherwise dull corner where the table sat.
