Chapter 46: Edward Maxwell
“Come closer.” Edward got up and walked toward the bar. “Would you like a drink?”
“Um...Oh, no thank you.” Meredith blinked and took a few steps into the room still feeling as though one wrong move and he would sink his teeth into her throat. She unconsciously looked around the room as though assessing the danger and ways out.
Edward poured a glass of some amber colored liquor. Meredith wasn’t sure what it was. He walked slowly to her as he eyed her up and down and walked behind her. She didn’t dare move and stood still as he stood behind her inches from her. He leaned in with his mouth close to neck. She was sure he was going to bite her. Something about him seemed so predatory.
“Have a seat.” He said lowly into her ear, his lips nearly brushing against her ear. He then pulled away and walked around the other si

My Death Contract Chapter 47: Meredith Gets Serious
The rest of Meredith’s work day went pretty much as she had expected. More stares, more whispers and all lot of effort on her part to zone it all out so she could focus on her project. She found herself to be rather disappointed that Edward Maxwell didn’t give her any feedback on the project she was working on for him. He could have at least spent a moment of that ridiculous meeting to look at the portfolio.Mr. Hubert had immediately asked her how the meeting went when she returned and she just told him things were moving in the right direction, whatever that meant. She wasn’t sure what to tell him since the project wasn’t discussed. She was being interrogated as Brayden’s wife and under suspicion of being a fake.Edward was a smart man and it wasn’t going to be easy to convince him that she and Brayden were real
My Death Contract Chapter 48: Battle Plan
Meredith rode the elevator up with Brayden to their floor. They were home and Meredith had spent the rest of the drive there trying not to think of anything. She had turned over a new leaf and her idea of this death contract was starting to take a new shape. She still didn’t like that she was forced into it and she wasn’t trying to be best friends with Brayden like he had suggested. She knew the situation she had found herself in wasn’t a great one in the least. Sure her husband was the hottest man on earth. Yes, he was a billionaire who not only bought her all kinds of extravagant things but insisted on them. And he was truly trying to be her friend albeit in a very screwed up sort of way.Meredith knew all that to be true but she also had already signed the contract and was in this until death. Her parents needed her support and she and Dino would be out on the streets if she hadn&rsquo
My Death Contract Chapter 49: Team Brayden
Meredith picked Dino up and set him on the loveseat. She got up and left Dino in his room behind as she followed Brayden to the Corner where they usually ate dinner. Estrella had made them another delicious dinner and set out instructions to heat and serve. It was Chicken enchiladas with red rice and chili black beans. The smell was amazing and Meredith’s mind went blank and all the things she had been working on emptied her mind and she was left with drooling thoughts of the delicious food before her.Meredith immediately dug into her meal without even looking up at Brayden. She had a one track mind; enchiladas. She forked in a nice size bite of enchilada into her mouth and nearly burnt the roof of her mouth. She pulled the food out before too much damage was done, blew on it a bit then tried again. On the second try she sighed and her shoulders slid down and back as she fully enjoyed to flavo
My Death Contract Chapter 50: Water
Meredith walked onto the elevator. It was empty other than the elevator god Brayden Charles Maxwell who stood slumped in the corner brooding about something. Clenching his jaw he looked up at her briefly. She pushed the button and the doors closed. She could see him glancing at her out of the corner of her eye. Meredith stood wearing platform shiny black patent leather pumps and a sweetheart cut red bandage dress down to her knees. Her hair was in perfect waves over her shoulder. She had on bold red lipstick and a slight smile on her face. She wasn’t sure what the smile was about. She could feel it though. It was as though something exciting had happened.Meredith could feel Brayden’s eyes on her.She tried hard not to take notice but he was so god-like in every way. She knew it was hopeless to resist him. Finally he stood up tall and stepped closer to her. She took a deep breath and turned to h
My Death Contract Chapter 51: Confidence
Meredith wrapped a towel around herself and wrapped her hair in a second towel. She wasn’t sure what she had just done but it had felt so right and yet so wrong at the same time. She was warring with herself on whether or not what had just happened was a good thing. On one hand it had brought her closer to Brayden in a way that the dinner questions never could. But on the other hand it was far too intimate and crossed the line of what should be allowed.It put her dangerously close to vulnerability and her heart was teetering on the edge. Finally both sides of her mind agreed on a truce. She sealed up her heart and decided regardless if it was good or bad she suddenly felt a little more confident wearing her rings. She dried off and wrapped herself in a fluffy robe then padded to the chest of drawers in the bedroom.Meredith pulled out a delic
My Death Contract Chapter 52: Background Noise
Meredith’s confidence was brimming as she plowed through her work projects for the morning. Her creative juices were overflowing. She was on a roll and she didn’t want to lose her momentum. Her focus was deep into her work and for the first time that week she didn’t notice any stares on her or the whispers that were surely to come afterwards. She pumped out design after design and fine tuned and perfected every little detail. At this rate she might not need the office set up at home. But she did have to remind herself that this wasn’t a normal pace and she had come in early. She couldn’t write off the home office just yet.Other than Karen bringing over some work to Meredith’s desk, Meredith hadn’t noticed anyone else in the room at all. She was so focused on her work that she felt she was alone in the office. Of course, had she stopped to think about it and look a
My Death Contract Chapter 53: Taylor Meets Brayden
Meredith got off the elevator on the thirty-seventh floor. There was a large desk directly across from the elevator in the lobby area where a woman sat. The area was the same as two times Meredith had previously been there. There was a seating area to the left with a black modern leather couch and two matching arm chairs. A small glass coffee table was between them. There was a large potted plant in the corner between the couch and one of the arm chairs. She hadn’t noticed the other times she had come but there was an identical seating area to the right of the elevator as well. There were matching potted plants on either side of the large black desk. The woman behind the desk was mid-twenties, thin, with long dark brown hair parted to the side and cascading down around her shoulders and back. From what Meredith could see the woman wore a white silk V-neck sleeveless shirt and had a navy blue jacket
My Death Contract Chapter 54: Lunch is Extended
Meredith watched as her best friend walked out the door. Taylor gave Meredith a wink before closing the door. Meredith signed but didn’t say anything. Brayden was silent next to her. She looked down at his hand that was still on her thigh and then up at him. He was watching her as she raised an eyebrow at him. He smirked and raised an eyebrow back at her. Meredith rolled her eyes.According to their battle plan strategy, they never knew when someone was listening and considered home the only safe place to talk freely. Meredith took a breath.“Babe?” She prompted. It was also part of the strategy that she call him Babe or something endearing. She hadn’t thought anything else up, so she stuck with Babe. He yet again set her up during lunch and used it as an opportunity to show off how in love they were.
