"How?", I asked in disbelief."You didn't want your best friend to be tied down with your father. I made it happen", he said with a smirk."You talked to him?", I asked him bewildered."Honey I don't just talk. I do it and your father has more sense than crossing me", he said."Woah! You already have a pretty big head so I won't make it further big by complementing you", I said with a smirk."Don't think that I won't ask you for a repayment later", he said with a sly smile."What repayment?", I asked him with a teasing smile."That is up to you. I saved your best friend like you wanted", he said mischievously."Ok. How about I give your head a proper massage?", I asked him."I would prefer massage but in a different place", he said making me blush."I heard that. I want to thank you for everything Matt", said Lisa."You don't have to thank me. Just make wise choices with your life", said Matt with a shrug."You drove us here knowing there wasn't a wedding mister. So I will deduct a fe

"I was a silly girl back then. I couldn't take the fact that Parker was with someone else even after my weight loss. I almost confessed my love to him. But Matt stopped me from doing so. He knew Parker was engaged. I had seen him before and at that time I saw him for himself. I made him a deal to take me away from there. When I reached my home I didn't want to let go of him. I invited Matt in. We slept together. He thought I was experienced. It was my first time. I got pregnant. When my father knew he was furious. He wanted me to abort my child. I left home in search of Matt. I found him. He was working in a garage but he never blamed me. He said that he would take responsibility and marry me.We got married right away. He had plans. He was working on a project with an industrialist in South Africa. He had promised to leave with the team to Africa as a partner. I couldn't travel he decided to not go. But my father came and asked me to return home. He still didn't approve of Matt but h

We were the least presentable couple there. My gown was crumpled from being bunched up for a long time while he had this just fucked hair. But I knew we were the happiest couple there. Once we got seated and the server took our orders he looked even more relaxed than before. I had a flash of fear that our happiness wouldn't last. I don't know where that thought came from. I had no negative thoughts for a long time. It almost caught me off guard. I straightened the paper napkins before me."Are you ok?", he asked me softly."Yes. Why?", I asked him confused."You tend to do this when you are nervous", he said noticing my hands. My OCD wasn't bad enough to get noticed but still, he could find it out easily. I had lived with him. But I always thought he wouldn't have noticed that in the little time we spent together. We got married and lived together for precisely one month. We got divorced it was heartbreaking but inevitable. The baby was the sole reason he wanted to marry me. I Should

His eyebrows crinkled when he realised that his declaration of love wasn't affecting me the way it should. I was sad for him. He looked very desperate. I would have married him in a heartbeat if Matt was not in the picture. I was very much indebted to him. He helped me get out of my shell and be the Meredith I am today."I want you to forget me and move on like I did", I said finally."Matt? You still believe that he cares for you. I didn't want to tell you this initially. But you left me with no choice. Here is it come on read it", he said giving me a small magazine. He rolled his eyes when I looked at it absurdly. Did he want me to read Business Times now? He quickly took it from my hands turned several pages and shoved it to me. I saw there was a small news article about Matt. It was about a vineyard and a takeover. I watched it confused."Your husband wants to buy this vineyard. It is in France. He is going to extend his business into hospitality as well. Pierre the owner of this

"Father you wanted to see me?", I said to him letting those words hang in the air as a question. Nothing resembling love between a father and a daughter was in the air all that was left was coldness and bitterness."Come and sit", he said looking tensed. I have never seen him like this before even when our company was incurring heavy losses back to back. Even when he had a heart attack. He looked frail now and no more the intimidating man he once was. I almost felt pity for him."I hope you are not overworking yourself", I said the only concern that was eating me. I didn't want him to die in the office no matter what evil deeds he might have done he was still my father."I can't not work. I don't have a rich husband like you", he said. I watched him stupified. Was he serious? He thinks I was being lazy because of my rich husband. Does he even remember the insults that I got for helping him? Did he forget the threat he made to me and to the extent of almost firing me because I question
