Chapter 1

1 Announcement

Today is my big day. The day that I have dreamt about since my childhood.

We are going to announce our engagement to the world, me and Parker. My greatest friend and well-wisher.

The most popular guy in the school is now my soon-to-be husband. I bet nobody would believe it if it was eight years ago.

The uninterrupted work for several days made me a little haggard. I looked at myself in the mirror and touched up my face. I want myself to look perfectly matched with Parker. Whenever I was with him I still felt like the chubby teen girl. There is enough time for that I should get some work done till then.

I was dismayingly checking the stock sheets when I saw Parker's call. I picked it up immediately.

"Hello Meredith", said Parker.

"Hi", I said straightening the papers before me.

"Are you excited to announce it to the world yet?", asked Parker.

"I'm and I hope our parents are happy too", I said with a half smile.

"Trust me they are very much happy for us. They already love you. I will pick you up and we will drive to the press meeting together", said Parker.

"Sure", I said to him. He ended the call soon since he had a business meeting. I was still checking up on the stock sheet when I heard a knock.

"Come in", I said loudly.

"Are you busy boss?", asks Lisa poking her head in.

"Not at the moment", I said with a chuckle. I was one of those lucky women who got her best friend as an assistant.

"Good because we have a crisis at the moment", she said entering and closing the door after her.

"What kind of a crisis?", I asked with a frown.

"A very bad one. But that is not important your father wants to meet you right away. He is waiting for you in his office", said she.

"What happened?", I asked worriedly. I knew something was up. Lisa was looking nervous and nothing fazed her.

Before she could say anything the door was opened and my father stormed inside.

"What the hell are you doing here Meredith? I asked you to meet me in the office", boomed my father.

"I'm sorry Dad. I was dealing with some work", I said to him. I didn't want him to shout at Lisa for not informing me earlier.

"Did Parker contact you today?", asked my father. I saw a flash of fear in his eyes when he said Parker’s name as if he was afraid that Parker knew about something.

"No, but he will pick me up soon for the press meeting", I said to him. I didn’t know why Dad was acting like this. He was very satisfied with our engagement, after all, Parker’s family business would do a lot of good to our company and that was all he cared about money.

"We can't let him know about anything", mumbled my father.

"I don't understand what are you saying Father?", I asked him with a frown.

"I got a call from him. He is back", said my father harshly.

"Who?", I asked him surprised. I have never seen my father this much distraught. Something must have happened though I have no idea what.

"Mathew Farrell", he said as though he was disgusted to announce the name. I felt a cold shiver run through my veins. So many years had passed after the last time I saw him. What did he want now? The memories started to flood my brain both good and bad. I thought after I survived nothing could break me but I was wrong. Only Matt's name was sufficient to bring me back to the place where I was five years ago.

"What does he want from me now?", I asked in a voice that was so low that I was surprised my father heard it.

"It is not what he wants but what we want from him", grumbled my father.

"Did you meet him?", I asked bewildered.

I knew the Matt I knew probably didn't exist anymore. He was now a billionaire with a fortune ten times more than us. I saw once my father mocked him for being poor. But now he had enough fortune to bury us. I hope he is not back to seek revenge on my father for insulting him before.

"Why did you marry that son of a bitch?", seethed my father.

"Father, can you please be quiet? I don't want anyone to know about my past", I said quietly. It was a long time ago that I was surprised, my father even mentioned it.

Even though my father hated Matt for being poor it had never affected me it only fuelled my love for him. My first marriage was a huge mistake and that’s it. He was my past and Parker was my future. I didn't want to compromise that. I had moved on from those dark days with great difficulty. I didn't want to feel everything all over again. I don't want to be left behind like a broken china doll by Matt again.

"What past are you talking about? He is not your past. You are still married to him", spat my father. I felt the earth move from under me. I couldn't hear anything after my father uttered those words.

I was still married to Matt? He was my husband? What happened to the divorce that happened a year ago? I took control of myself. I can't break down.

"Father you are mistaken. I signed the papers", I tried to say.

"The lawyer we found wasn't a real one. He never filed the fucking papers in court. Matt called me gleefully to inform me of this. If only you thought a second before crawling into bed with that street rat ", roared my father.

"Somethings never change. You still treat your daughter like a slave Sebastian", said a calm voice that used to to haunt me. I held my knuckles tight the nails bit into my soft under palm.

"How the heck you got into our building?", bellowed my father.

"Keep your voice down I'm not your daughter old man", said he again not bothering to raise his voice to match my father. I refused to look at the man who had caused chaos in my life and was still doing the same.

"Hello Meredith", said Matt calling my attention in a way that I couldn't ignore any further. That was the first time I heard any emotion from him. It was cold and tight with hidden anger.

"Hello Matt", I said slowly raising my head to meet his coal-black eyes.

He looked more handsome. He still had the same wild hair and midnight-black eyes. His brown skin shined through the suit. His tanned chiseled body was carefully tucked away in an expensive suit. He wore clothes better than my father. But he still hadn't raised in his eyes which was undoubtedly because of his origin. My father would never see Parker and Matt with the same eyes even when Matt was richer than Parker. According to him, good money is old money. Though he would never admit it I sense prejudice and racism whenever he mentions Matt.

"I heard about your secret engagement with Reynolds. I don't think polygamy is allowed in the United States of America", he said with a smirk.

"That marriage was a mistake of my daughter. She regrets it to this day. ", My father was still shaking as he said those words.

"I know she regrets being married to a penniless man. But now I'm not that guy anymore so I'm sure she wouldn't mind the marriage", he said amused. I listened to their banter silently. I don't think my voice will fit between two huge male egos.

"You trapped a naive girl with no brain", said my father. Matt looked at my father with a bored face and instead of backing down, he went on to attack him further.

"Her choice to leave you was the only good thing she had ever done in her life", seethed my father.

"I know you want to break my heart old man but unfortunately for you, I don't have one", he said with a dark laugh. I watched him carefully I couldn't believe that for a second. He was certainly not the Matt I knew.

It seems he has changed a lot, time has changed us both.

"What do you want Matt?", asked me weakly.

"I want a divorce so that we can move on from this hell of a marriage", said he Jaws tightening as he said those words.

"Ok. We will do a quiet divorce then without involving anybody", I said quietly.

"I agree", he said. His tone was clipped.

"Ok. I will mail the divorce papers after I get hold of them", I said to him.

"No. I will do it. You messed up the last time. I don't want to find out my wife is getting married for the third time to another while being married to me after a few years", he said with a chuckle.

"I have some work to do Mat. I think we are done", I said my voice sharp.

"There is one more thing I'm hosting the annual Sundance this time. You should come and see Sebastian how a street rat like me makes that happen", he said with a smirk.

"You may have money but you will never have any class. One must be born into it", said my father.

"I didn't have any class or money yet your daughter slept with me", he said.

My father could have broken a tooth from grinding them too much. I knew I must interrupt this.

"Goodbye Matt", I said quickly.

"Goodbye princess", he said staring at me. He used to call me that before and I blushed like a schoolgirl. My face got angry this time. Some things never change. He went outside and then left me to deal with my father.

"He thinks of himself as God. He is just an idiot with lots of money. He could never stop me from attending a function that I attended even before he was born", said my father irritated.

"Why do you want to go there, Father? He will only insult us", said I desperately.

"I have to save the business and Sundance is the only way", said my father gravely.

I wanted to tell him that attending parties and Socialising is not the way to save our business. He had refused to meet our creditors even though they requested a meeting many times. But I stayed silent since my father would never listen to me.

"You must come with me as well Meredith," said my father.

"Why should I go father?", I asked baffled.

"To help me of course What if they ask some important questions and I'm unable to answer", said my father

Even though my father claims that he loved the company he never tried to understand what went wrong. He reads out the presentation I prepare and fires other people for his fault. I knew he would make me go no matter how hard I tried to escape.

"Lisa can help father you can take her", I said.

"Lisa is only an employee and you are my daughter. Take some responsibility for fuck's sake Meredith", said my father. I only sighed in response.

"What about Parker will he be attending?", asked my father a little bothered.

"I don't think so. He has a meeting with one supplier on the same day", I told him.

"Good", said my father relieved that he didn't have to manage both Parker and Matt.

"I have to call Parker and say that I can't do the press meet", I told my father.

"What do you mean?", asked my father agape.

"I can't do it while being married to another person", I said slowly.

"I can't believe it", I heard a voice and I was shocked to realise that it was Parker. I whipped my head to find him standing at the door. I saw my father's eyes going wild realising that his dreams of securing Parker the heir of Reynold Enterprises going down the drain. I didn't know what to say to the guy who supported me during my worst time. I knew I should apologise for what I did to him. Even if it was done unknowingly it was a mistake, a big mistake. The one I was still paying for.

2 The drama
"Parker I", I hesitated. But before I could finish my apology I was interrupted by Parker again. "I can't believe I'm getting married to the most beautiful woman on earth", said Parker with a smile. I heard an audible sigh from Lisa. My father too let out a breath that he held on for too long. Parker watched us all curiously. He hadn't heard anything. "I have something to tell you", I said to Parker. "Meredith", called my father. I heard the warning clear in his voice. I shouldn't tell anything Parker at least not in my father's presence. "Yes father", I asked meekly. "I will be in my room. Take care of what you say before people. You will be dragging down our reputation in public if you are careless. I'm going since I have a meeting in five minutes ", said my father and left us. I knew he wasn't talking about the press meeting. He was warning me to not say anything to Parker. "Shall we go then?", asked Parker kissing my lips softly. "I can't go Parker. I have a headache", I

3 Repurcussions
Matt had done something horrible and I was left to suffer the repercussions of his actions. It has been a week since Matt made that disastrous announcement. We went back to our house escaping the circus around us. I had never known paparazzi to be this vicious. My father was furious when he saw what Matt had done. But he was forced to accept the congratulations. They thought that we got married recently. I shiver with terror when I realise what they would do if they had any clue about what caused our separation. I hadn't stepped a foot outside. I'm on a long leave from my company citing personal reasons. I was getting restless because I couldn't imagine the state of our business because of my long leave. My father hardly did anything remotely beneficial for our company. But what choice do I have? We haven't done a press conference or anything till now. We decided to lay low so far Matt is doing the same. I wondered why would he subject both of our companies to bear the brunt of his br

4 Press meet
"You look like an Angel except I know who you are for real", commented Matt leaning back on Tesla."I imagined you driving a flashy sports car Matt, not this one", I shot back."I have many cars and to sit in my favourite car you have to earn that privilege", he said opening the door. "Even if you bring your best car I still won't be impressed Matt", I said climbing into the car."Maybe my car can't impress you but a man like me doesn't need to show off his car or mansion to get ladies. I have something better and it worked fine for you too", he said flashing me a grin. I sat in the car with a flushed face silent. "Why do you want this press meet now?", I asked him after some time. "My PR team doesn't like this when I pull something this big on them at the last minute. So they want me to do damage control", he said with a shrug. "I have no idea what to say except lie to everything they ask", I said with an irritated sigh. "No never lie Meredith. Try to be truthful as much as poss

5 Welcome
"What are you doing?", I hissed at him."Be quiet. This is an act so that the staff doesn't pay close attention to us", he said calmly.I was beyond embarrassed for being picked up like a five-year-old. I hadn't been conscious about my weight for a long time."Put me down. I hate being manhandled by you", I whispered and shouted at him."It is either this or I kiss you", he said. That shut me up for good. I didn't want to be kissed by him again. I saw the door being opened and a black stern woman looking at us. Her eyes were shocked when she spotted me in the arms of her boss."Hello Mrs Morgan I would like you to meet my wife Meredith Whitlock", he said pleased."Welcome Mrs Farrell", she said after staying motionless for a few seconds.After we got inside he put me down gently. But he didn't let me go and put his hand over my waist. I squirmed uncomfortably because I hated being the centre of attention and this one wasn't any better than my board meeting presentation. Usually, I le

6 Heart to heart
I picked up the phone reluctantly. I knew I was being watched by Matt closely but to not pick up in his presence would mean that I was hiding something."Meredith why didn't you call me?", he asked me."I didn't know you were waiting for my call", I said but I felt myself flustered under his gaze."I was. Please keep in touch", he said.I didn't reply to his comment and he felt that something was off immediately."Why are you not talking to me? Is he with you?", he asked impatiently."Yes", I said."Damn! I thought he might have left for work. Call me later", he said ending the conversation soon. I was a little perturbed because I knew Matt was waiting for me to finish before starting another fight the small truce we had made sometimes during the meal was lost now. "Meredith you have to cut off your ties with him. He is not the right man for you", he said slowly. "Why should I? This is a contract marriage", I said. I knew agreeing immediately might raise suspicions. "It is not becau

7 Woman with a plan
My mind was made up even before I reached his home. He didn't deserve to be treated like a human being for his actions. He had willfully stopped my engagement so that he could take me as his wife to secure a business deal claiming that Parker wasn't a good guy. This coming from a guy who had left me a long time ago. Someone who hurt me and made sure that I was incapable of loving someone else. He was not lucky because I got Parker in his place. Parker was everything a woman could hope for. He said that he wanted to help me fulfil my dream of being a top businesswoman. I knew Parker would support me in every step of my life, unlike Matt.When I reached home Mrs Morgan looked at me unsure. I guess she decided to stay away from me rather than pick up unnecessary fights. I called him and he picked up on the first ring. I knew he would be surprised. "Hello Meredith this is a pleasant surprise", he said."Can we meet someplace and talk?", I asked him."We live in the same house princess. W

8 Cutting Edge Inc
I woke up to a searing pain in the back of my head. I couldn't even open my eyes. Shit! I have never felt this bad even when I was in college. I always limit my drinks when I am at a party except when I'm with Lisa. But even with my best friend, I hadn't felt this hung over. The whiskeys were very potent and I was an idiot for falling head-first into the trap laid out for me. I put both of my hands over my head. I heard someone closing on me. I couldn't even open my eyes and see who that was."I have brought water and a pain killer for you", I heard the judging Mrs Morgan's voice. But I was thankful to her."Mr Farewell sent you this note", said she.I opened my eyes painfully and saw a note in her hand. I almost snatched it from her hand. I was anxious to know what the fuck happened last night except me getting shit-faced.Last night was fun. We have to do it sometime again. Don't check on your phone right away. The last bit was confusing. Why didn't he want me to check my phone? I

9 Confession
"What?", I asked him."I know your plan is this make him fall in love with you before admitting your feelings", he said."That is a pretty elaborate plan for someone who has moved on from you ", I said thinking of the leggy brunette I saw him with the other day."Maybe he has a lot of women in his life because he hasn't moved on", said he thoughtfully."I don't want to revisit the past Jamie", I said."I know I'm coming on too strong. I can't help it he is like a brother to me", said Jamie."It is nice that he has someone who looks out for him", I said to him. He smiled in response."By the way, this is Mace his project. We are kind of going all in for this baby. Matt must trust you so much otherwise he wouldn't have asked me to show it to you", he said.He said placing a laptop that he held in my hand. I watched that he had opened a PowerPoint presentation. I have never seen Matt in a professional environment. He was clear-cut and precise in his words. I was mighty impressed with his

10 Hard feelings
I got dressed up to meet Parker in a restaurant. I knew he would be waiting for me. He wanted to talk to me and that was fine. But I had told Matt that I would stay away from Parker. I wanted to gain his trust. So I had to make sure that we were not seen. The place I chose was a little far and secluded. I took my Audi and it hurt me a little that I was driving a car gifted by Matt. Parker loved me but he was always against gifts and I wasn't a shallow person it never mattered until today. I wished Matt showed the same attitude towards me like he was treating Parker. Then this won't sound that bad.I was waiting at the restaurant and Parker showed up his eyes were tired. I wondered why he looked so. Was Matt doing something else besides taking away all his contracts?"What happened Parker?", I asked him."I went to a club last night", he said putting on a pair of sunshades to cover his blue squinting eyes."Ok", I said a little relieved."Have you gotten anything?", he asked me impatie
