"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

"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

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.

Matt called me occasionally. He had been pretty busy Parker informed me that soon they would announce who had won the bid and he was very confident this time. He had managed to extract all the necessary information. He calls me begging me to meet him. He wanted to thank me but I said no. I was feeling a lot guilty if I was being True to myself. I went out with Lisa once or twice but I visited every day in hospital. They said they wanted to check him for his blood pressure. My father still manages to scare all of the staff there. He always orders me to be at the office instead of wasting my time elsewhere.The work was going the same as before. Even though my father is in hospital nothing has changed here. The senior board director is deciding everything. I was silent at the same time helpless. I didn't have much money to invest in the business if I had then I would have more value in my own company.After I was done I returned home with my driver who was also my bodyguard. I have come

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
