"What happened?", asked Lisa utterly surprised to see me. I was carrying my bag and crying a lot. I didn't come alone though Rashid accompanied me. I wasn't in a position to say no. I wasn't in a state of driving and I knew he wanted the baby to be safe not me. I have made peace with the fact that we would never be what were once to each other. It has gone blown away. I was deceived and taken advantage of in the worst possible way. I could never live with him. It will kill me slowly. I had made my choice and it made me happy."He said all those bull shit to you?", asked Lisa still in disbelief."It was way worse. How could he lie to me? Everything was revenge on him. He told me that he married me because he hates me. He accused me of killing our first child", said I."How could he? I'm so angry at him for hurting you", said Lisa."I only wish to make a safe space for my child", I said."You will be a good mother don't ever doubt that", said Lisa."What if Matt takes away my child?", I

I got dressed for the office. I would rather think of it as a battle. I knew the things that would be waiting for at the office were nothing short of war. I have to find a way to survive it and I have to do it alone. I found Rashid already waiting for me when I reached outside Lisa's house. I bit my lips nervously. I wanted to tell him off mercilessly but I knew it was not the right thing to do. He is only an employee of Matt. I shouldn't blame him for obeying his orders."I don't want you to be with me anymore", I said to him. Christ, why was I sounding like a girl who wants to get rid of a guy? He stayed silent as though he was waiting for me to finish my words."I will stay with Lisa from now on. Me and Matt are going our separate ways. Thanks for everything though", I said."I didn't get an order from Mr Farrell yet. I would humbly request you to let me do my job till I have it", he said."Maybe it is because of my pregnancy. I guess it is only a couple of months more", I said. Af

"The board meeting happened and you weren't there", he said."I had an emergency", I said to him."Ok. Your father looked angry", he said."My father gets angry easily, especially at me. I'm staying overtime as he told though", I said."Woah! It is your company Mer. You don't have to work bloody overtime", he said annoyed."It is ok. I would be working at home anyway", I said."I too have some work to finish up", he said."Ok. Good luck with that", I said rising."Can we do it together? Your room is much more bigger and comfortable than mine", he said."Why not?", I told him.He looked surprisingly happy that I let him use my office. It had a better view than his. I hardly sit and stare at the view though but whenever I feel a little stuck. I watch the window to feel alive. It soothes me. I never thought that it was a privilege until now.When I related what happened to Lisa she snorted. She said she has yet to see the day when Parker works. He is not that bad though. He did get some

I have lost the ability to argue with my husband or the stubborn Mrs Morgan so I served them with my greatest weapon silent treatment. I don't know how effective it will be because they would feel far more blessed with my silence than my words sting me a little. But I refuse to let them take more space in my head. It should be reserved for my baby and work not for my estranged husband. I don't know what he wants to prove by holding a piece of paper above my head. It is only a few more days then I'm free to leave him. I just have to wait for that day.The morning came and I went to my office taking extreme measures not to have an encounter with my husband again.I saw Lisa who had been hurrying down the hall with a box. I got worried what happened? I knew something was define wrong."Lisa why are you clearing the office?", I asked her."I'm not doing it for me. Matt fired Parker", she said gleefully."What the fuck!", I asked surprised."He didn't hold that kind of power in here", I sa

The day is finally here. We had just sent the cheque to Matt. I'm sure he didn't expect a payment from our side. But then again neither did I. But I tried my level best and I achieved what was considered an impossible task. I was proud of every employee who didn't take their salary for this month. Ultimately my father agreed to sacrifice his share as well. He can't anger everyone else in the company. Even he wasn't dumb enough to think that he could survive alone. He knew it was impossible to overcome the wrath of his board members especially when he had plans to increase his salary soon. He hadn't told me explicitly but I saw that on his laptop while I was preparing his presentation.We ended the celebration with a pizza party and the payment I had transferred from my father's account. He was furious when he found it out. But I convinced him how important was it to lift the employee morale. He agreed fuming. I knew my days as an executive and CEO were getting near the end and my acti
