★★★★★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

★★★★★ "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

★★★★"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

★★★★“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

★★★★"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
