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

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

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

"My answer is no", I said trying to him."May I ask why?", he asked irritated."I have many reasons. I can't just do it without emotions. I can't Matt and I won't", I said with finality."Stop making up excuses Meredith you don't want me. Put it out there plain and simple", he said with a shrug."I'm not making excuses. I can't sleep with a person who hates my guts", I said."I don't hate you", he said. I could sense some honesty in him."I think we should end this conversation here and now", I said rising from my chair."This conversation is far from over", he said surprising me."Why?", I asked him suspiciously."Because I'm a good businessman and a good negotiator", he said with a mischievous smile."You are forgetting I'm one too", he said."I know", he said still not backing off."Goodbye Matt. I'm going to leave now", I said to him.I quickly went away from him. He was like this huge wave. He pushes you inside before you can act.When I reached my office my confidence was furthe

"Are you not even remotely worried about how this is going to end up in the media?", I asked him."If I have to worry about that I will simply fire my existing PR team and get a new one", he said without care."I don't have expensive PR like you do. I worry about what they write about me. I may have to explain to my board", I said."Don't worry about that my team will cover for you", he said getting inside the car."You could have just not hit him back you know", I said."My dick is still attached to me so there is no possibility of that Babe", he said with a smirk."What about the cops? He could file a complaint or legal suit", I said."That fucker just stole from me. Do you think he has the guts to go to the cops?", he scoffed."You are forgetting it was me who helped him with the stealing", I said."Who says I forgot?", he asked with a shake of head."So punish me too. Hit me like you did with Parker", I challenged him."I didn't hit him because he stole from me", said Matt."Then
