The surname sounds familiar

★★★★★In the afternoon, Susan walked in with food and looked around before finding Mother and Son in the bedroom, eating rice and vegetables with a bowl of chicken in a creamy sauce."I thought you two would like to have noodles with me," she pouted, placing the food down slowly on the table."You are late, Aunt Susan," Peter said, "If I knew you were bringing noodles, I would not have agreed to eat vegetables and rice with Mom." As he looked at Edith..But getting a meaningful look from his mother he quickly changed his words, "Though they are delicious I would never choose them for lunch. They cannot be categorised as healthy."Susan laughed and went to Peter's side. Bending slightly, she hugged him.Then she paid attention to her friend. "Do not look at him with this look! It can scare anyone.""There is not much left. Do you want to eat?" Edith said to Susan."What about the noodles?" Susan pointed her gaze toward the bag."Both of you can eat this at dinner. But this will be the

Edith meeting Markrum

★★★★★In the evening, Jamie arrived at the cafe and found Martha already seated in the last row, right at the corner next to the window.He had changed out of his official attire into something casual. He decided to hide his face with the mask. This time, he did not allow his bodyguard to come with him.He made his way to where Martha was sitting. The moment he reached for the chair Martha stood up excitedly and spread her arms to hug him.But Jamie did not allow that as he sat down, ignoring the action. Although, he hid his face, the irritation in his eyes could not be masked.Martha swallowed the awkwardness with a smile and sat down in her seat." I thought you would again make me wait for hours before telling me how the work made the meeting impossible," she said, looking at the man she loved.She belonged to a wealthy family where everyone loved her, adored her. Her parents pampered her as if she were a princess.Once she cried for a doll that was out of stock, and her father bro

Which bar?

★★★★"Markrum," Edith said, turning behind."Did I scare you?" Markrum smiled as he said. "Let me carry it for you," and reached for the bag Edith was holding."You don't have to. It is not as heavy as it looks," Edith replied, refusing to hand him the bag, but her resistance was futile because Markrum took the bag forcefully."You are quite capable I don't doubt that. But you know people will judge me here," Markrum added with a light tone, looking around before halting his gaze on Edith."You are already being judged, Mr Anderson. I thought here no one would know you, but the eyes are saying otherwise," Edith said, lowering her tone. The constant gaze on them made her uncomfortable."Are you ashamed?" Markrum asked, and the pleasing smile did not leave his lips."You are Anderson not me. It should be you who feels ashamed, not me. Your mother would say that. Now tell me what you know about the marriage. I was young and nobody cared to tell me why I was chosen as a sacrifice," Edith

She insulted me

★★★★★ "The Nines," Markrum replied, "Let it go. Where are we?" Markrum pushed the trouble aside and tried to smile. "Ummm... hey, I was thinking if we continue this later. I am feeling sick actually," Edith said hurriedly and got up, her eyes were terrified as they looked for a dull corner to hide. "What happened?" Markrum reached for Edith's shoulder, his fingers brushed lightly to the edge of the fabric, but he couldn't touch her. Edith shook her head, adding, "I am fine. Don't be concerned." She dismissed Markrum and looked for a cab as she raised her hand to wipe off the sweat over her lips "The doctor lives not far from here. Let me take you there," Markrum said, a frown appeared on his forehead. "No, I don't need a doctor," Edith said, looking at Markrum and smiling, not from the heart, but with a courtesy that upset Markrum. He swallowed the bitterness with his fist balled tight. "I am just tired. Can we meet some other time?" Edith hurriedly added and reached for her gro

The marriage

★★★★At Anderson's house, Freya was happily chatting with a young woman who was sitting with her parents.Just then Markrum walked in with a pleasing smile on his lips just like always."I didn't know we were having company for dinner," Markrum added with a light tone, making his way to the table as his gaze searched for Jamie, who should have been present."Mark, meet the William family. Jamie has invited them," Freya stood up from her seat."Really, where is he?" Markrum questioned."He is on his way," Freya replied. "Let me introduce you to Garry William. The CEO of William Diamond Group. Next to him is his beautiful wife, Perry William. And their daughter, Elena William. Isn't she beautiful?" Freya praised the family like an overexcited kid who found a new toy to play with.Markrum shook hands with everyone since they were the guest as he took a seat on the opposite side of the table. Everything seemed okay until Freya said, "Cassy, sweetheart, why don't you sit next to Markrum?"

With the girl I love

★★★★"Do not make us feel ashamed for asking forgiveness. You have no idea how much this dinner meant to us, Mr Anderson. Actually, I told my wife that we might not even see you at the dinner even though the arrangement was made in your house," Garry chimed heartily. His hand balled into fists under the table in excitement."It is an important subject and it involves my brother. How can I not find time for this?" Jamie replied, leaning back in the chair as his gaze slowly drifted to Markrum. "My brother is a good man. Your daughter won't be unhappy with him. The rest of the decision is yours.""Jamie," Markrum spoke. The control in his voice did not leave even though his eyes were saying otherwise. "I think before this matter goes in a serious direction, I would like to know Miss William first. Perhaps, it is necessary for her too.""That's a great idea, Mark. How about a week or a month? Is it enough?" Jamie asked, his hand stretching on the table. Soon, the server brought a glass, l

Edith got something from Jamie

★★★★ Since the moment Edith returned from the market, she hardly spoke. For a second, she chatted to her son. The next second, she got lost in something, drifted somewhere far away. "Did someone steal your purse, mommy?" Peter asked, sitting on the small stool with a book in front of him lying on the table. "When did I say that?" Edith answered, pausing her hand on the vegetables she was washing before storing. "You didn't... I just guessed, seeing you lost in thoughts," Peter said casually, his gaze engaged with the paper in front of his eyes. Edith turned around, wiping her hands on a cloth, and gently put it on next to the sink. "Being silent does not mean I am lost in something. Besides, you always complain that I bother you too much with every single thing." "That's completely a different talk," Peter said without bothering himself to look at his mother. "But true." Edith stood there, her eyes glued on Peter's back. The thing in her head was swirling so intensely, acting as

Coming to his office

★★★★“Finally decided to look at yourself in the mirror. Great! However, there is something I need to settle with you. So be at the office as early as possible. I hope you won’t want me to come looking for you.”Edith clenched the paper tightly in her hand and closed her eyes to control her anger.‘She did not know how much he had found out about her, but since he did not mention anything about Peter, he might not….’ Her thought paused as she opened her eyes.“You want to meet me. Fine! Jamie Anderson” Edith muttered under her breath. Then she crumpled the paper in her hand and threw it away. She washed the glass that held the liquor earlier which she eventually ended up tossing into the sink.Turning off the light in the hall she made her way to the bedroom, thinking what she would say to Susan to make her stay with her son for a couple of hours.★★★★The following morning Edith got ready after feeding lies to Susan and Peter. They did not speak out loud but their gazes explained tha

Meeting Jamie again

★★★★★"He is waiting for you at his office," Jason said, stepping away from the path as he stretched his hand toward the elevator, pointing for Edith to go in.For a moment, a cold grasp pressed her chest, making it hard for her to breathe. Suddenly the revelation of meeting him alone in his office made her shudder."Miss Steele," Jason called."Huh!" Edith snapped out of the reverie and said, " I have a lot of work to do. I hope he will not waste my time.""You will get to know as soon as you go to his office," Jason said, walking into the elevator, Edith followed him with reluctance, her hands balled into fists to her side."Why did he want to see me? Everything ended a long time ago. Shouldn't he just let me live my life," Edith complained to Jason in a low tone, trying to understand the purpose of that letter."He doesn't like to share anything with anyone. I can't tell you, Miss Steele. But yes, I can give you a quick suggestion," Jason paused, shifting his head at Edith. "Keep c

Be my slave

★★★★"So you are talking about having a choice..." A cold smile flashed on Jamie's lips, "Who are you? You are not a businessman, and you bring nothing to the table."Excuse me!" Edith raised her brows, "Who do you think you are to say all this to me? First of all, shamelessly, you sent a letter to my house, and now you are teaching me about my worth. I mean who are you telling me all this?"Jamie stayed silent with a triumphant smile on his face that enraged Edith more.Her expression tightened as her anger caused her nose to flare. “Is this your innovative way to make me stay and have a talk?" She added further. His silence was overbearing."Okay, I couldn't agree more," Jamie said, extending his hand toward the drawer under the desk. Then pulled out a file."Read this." Jamie threw that file in front of Edith. It slid off the desk and landed in her lap."What is this now?" Edith asked because she could sense something was off."You can read, I believe," Jamie said, tapping his fin
