I hated remembering my past or anything to do with that. Lisa knew my tough times but she didn't have any idea of how much it broke me. I should tell her. I had a deep feeling that she needed to know what transpired between me and Matt. My father had forbade me from talking about Matt to anyone. Lisa too knew only a little about my past. When I left I only hinted at Lisa of where I was going but I hadn't told her why. She knew certain things like how I met Matt and then I pursued him. She knows that I got married to him. My heart was broken after which I divorced him. But it is still so far from the painful truth. I should tell her. I was about to but she interrupted me.

"I hate to see you in pain and tears Mer. I'm sorry for saying that. But I want you to be happy and I think being with Matt will help you", she said.

"No. It is going to be much worse for me if I ever had to be with Matt. It is already so much painful", I said to her.

    My dad was finally home and I decided to check on him. I too was recuperating from my recent anxiety attack. But I knew I couldn't wait long sitting at home. I needed to be in my office to get things done. Parker couldn't lend me money as I hoped. He wanted me to provide details of another bid. I don't think I want to do it anymore. This wasn't me. This lying was killing me. I want to win but the right way. I feel a lot better I gave Parker a fair ground for competing with Matt the next time. I thought I hated Matt but in reality, I was the one who was a mess. I should take control of my life before Matt or my father crushes it.Matt had left for office and I got ready. I saw that my bodyguard was already waiting for me. I wondered how swiftly he arrived here. He probably lives around here. Maybe he lives in the same house who knows?

    I had always been a worrier and being back at the office as the CEO hadn't changed that. I was nervous as hell when I walked into a board meeting. The senior member Carlos is a sweetheart and probably the only guy who will back me up. I can't even say that about my father. I made the changes that I had decided in my mind already. Lisa gave me a look when she saw my first order as CEO. I gave her a wink in return and she laughed. I knew there would be hell to pay at the board meeting."What do you think you are doing Meredith?", asked Daniel another senior member and the only guy who hates my guts. He thinks that woman shouldn't be allowed outside their home. He is old school but he sat in an important position so he should have let go of his backward thoughts a long time ago. But he isn't able to and that was a big problem for me and every woman in the office."I hope my father informed you that he made me CEO for the next six months", I said."He had informed us of the same but that

    We had a quick dinner each of us wanting to finish it up as soon as possible. We walked together to the bedroom which had been now used by me alone. He didn't come to sleep in here after I was hospitalised. I stood routed to the door unable to move further inside. He was closely behind and sensed my hesitation but he wasn't angry at me or anything."Still not sure?", he asked me. I could see him searching through my eyes as if to look for answers. I didn't seem to have any and it left him dissatisfied. He thought I would be eager to go to bed with him after our actions in the living room where anybody could have caught us easily but in the privacy of my bedroom, it seemed I was afraid of something though I didn't know what."I'm sorry", I said not knowing what to say."Tell me what is it? You know now that I'm not going to take away your company or take revenge on you", he said."It is not that. I'm afraid to rekindle our connection. I'm scared to go through everything once again it w

    I had managed to take a small break from work and went to meet Parker through the back door of my office. I knew I shouldn't continue doing this since it was a kind of betrayal especially when my husband had hired me a bodyguard. It would be a huge insult to them both. I didn't want to do anything that I would regret in the future. Once I was seated in the restaurant I felt uneasy I didn't know why but I felt something was going wrong. He made me wait a little bit and I was very annoyed at him for that. I won't be going to meet him after this time no matter what happens. Even if my husband doesn't honour his words and take back my company I will find a way to repay him and claim it back."You are late", I said to him."Sorry Babe the traffic was very bad", he said regretfully."What do you want to talk to me about?" I asked him."Our future Babe. I wanted to tell you how much I miss you. I was wondering why you are putting distance between us?", he said regretfully."I'm not putting a

    He hadn't been home it had been past midnight. I had already asked Mrs Morgan she said she had no idea where he was. Thankfully she wasn't very keen on reading gossip or checking social media so she doesn't know much about what happened. So I didn't push her for further information. I didn't know why I was feeling so uneasy. It wasn't like I was cheating on Matt. Yes, I did something but I didn't know at that time the damage of what I was doing. I only thought of helping Parker but then I got to know how Parker had taken more than he had claimed. I was shocked and didn't expect him to take advantage of me like that.I have made a huge mistake and maybe I owe more money to Matt than before. I'm willing to pay all the damages I have caused. I only wished he listened to what I said but considering the situation it was very unlikely. But I wasn't one of those who accepted defeat easily. I wanted to tell him the truth and take my punishment. But I won't allow him to tuck me away unheard an

    I left his room heavy-hearted. I shouldn't feel bad about this because it was somewhat expected of me. The bitterness remains between us no matter how much we try to forget the past. I went to my bedroom to sleep and took my medicines. My sleep schedule was now getting late because of personal issues as well as the medication I was taking. On the morning I managed to wake up a little early and went down to get my breakfast. I saw him sitting with a newspaper on the dining table. He was always like that even when he was poor. He would read all the news and still manage to smile at me. I would hang into those smiles like a possessed woman.I decided to sit on the table unseen but he lifted his eyes from the paper. He held my gaze and I felt a shiver running down my spine. I wasn't afraid or threatened in any way but still, he could shake up my confidence with a glance. I was relieved when he withdrew his eyes to the paper. I managed to eat my breakfast too fast to avoid this awkwardness

    "My answer is no", I said trying to him."May I ask why?", he asked irritated."I have many reasons. I can't just do it without emotions. I can't Matt and I won't", I said with finality."Stop making up excuses Meredith you don't want me. Put it out there plain and simple", he said with a shrug."I'm not making excuses. I can't sleep with a person who hates my guts", I said."I don't hate you", he said. I could sense some honesty in him."I think we should end this conversation here and now", I said rising from my chair."This conversation is far from over", he said surprising me."Why?", I asked him suspiciously."Because I'm a good businessman and a good negotiator", he said with a mischievous smile."You are forgetting I'm one too", he said."I know", he said still not backing off."Goodbye Matt. I'm going to leave now", I said to him.I quickly went away from him. He was like this huge wave. He pushes you inside before you can act.When I reached my office my confidence was furthe

    "First of all, I'm sorry that my business is getting affected by my personal life. However, I have no control over what the paparazzi and media write about me. I haven't cheated on Matt with Parker and Matt knows this. This is very painful for me, to give pieces of information about my private life. This will be the last time I will be doing this", I said with confidence."It is only fair", said Carlos."Now that we have dealt with that let us move on to the important business", I said with a sigh.The meeting switched to our profitability ratios and I further scrapped many projects despite the protest from the board. I had to do it before they engulf the profits from the other projects."I want new project proposals from all the board members. We should initiate these things rather than letting others do it for us and then reject it", I said."But we are board members", said David with annoyance."But that doesn't make us above all. We are still the employees of our company", said C

    "What did my father ask?", I started my interrogation straight away."He wanted money obviously and I wasn't going to give him", he said gritting his teeth."So the argument happened", I asked."Yes. Even if I gave him money I knew that he wouldn't leave us alone. He would come after us. He was greedy for money and there was so stopping it", he said."You didn't have to worry. I would have never allowed him to drain your money", I said."I wasn't worried about money. I was afraid he would destroy my family", he said."You wanted to kill him?", I asked him."Yes I did. But I knew doing that would permanently make you hate me. So I dropped that thought", he said."Tell me something that you missed that day?", I asked him."Wait there is something", he said."What?", I asked him."I saw Lisa on my way out", he said."What?", I asked shocked."Yes", he said."When was it?", I asked him."I guess she watched us fighting.

    "I thought we would", I said to him. I was still breathless from our coupling. He watched me with a hidden smile. I knew he would happily wait for me even if it is a century. I would do the same for him too. I was too tired maybe it was the anticipation of the date that drained me. He stood up and went outside while I was admiring the view. It killed me to watch the beautiful skin marred by a few scars thanks to the run ins he had with the bounty hunters. I was thankful too for his fast thinking and reflexes without which he wouldn't have survived. I pursed my lips at my own brain. Why can't I stop worrying and be happy for a second. We have come far and further only to be derailed by our own minds.I opened my arms to him. He had gone and fixed the fire braving the wind and cold so I could remain warm. It was more than enough to make me horny. His thoughtful gestures are the one that make me want to jump his bones and this time wasn't any different.He put his lips on me. Our kisses

    I'm a great planner but no amount of planning had prepared me for this date night. So I'm still wearing my. Comfort clothes and waiting for my husband. He had secretly escaped. I have no idea where he was. He asked to get ready and wait for him. That is what I was doing. It wasn't an easy part. But now I was very much relaxed. He is around somewhere."Sorry for making you wait", he said handing me these wild flowers that I had planted in the garden a long time ago. A lady comes here sometimes to water them. But I have asked her not to come anymore because I planned to make my husband stay here undetected for a long time."Lucky to find those because most of them are withered", he said."I have give a paid vacation for the lady who used to water them", I said with a sigh."That is a wise decision", he said to me."She has no one. Her fiance left her a week before the wedding. She certainly deserves it", I said to him.."How do you know so many things about her?", he asked curiously."T

    "I think we need a break", said Matt rising from the chair."We just only started", I said or did protesting."No we have been going at it for a week", said Matt."Yet we don't have any clue", I said."That is exactly why we should take a break", he said."You hate talking", I told him."I don't hate talking but you want to talk about the murder nothing else", he said."What else you want me to talk about?", I asked him."US. Our daughter. Our future", he said."We will have no future if you don't get cleared out in the court", I said to him."I know but there is still a lot of issues other than that. We need to sort this out. If I get caught and thrown back there I may never get to earn your forgiveness", he said."You have done nothing to ask forgiveness", I said."That is a big lie. I know we have many problems and the way I treated you. Plus the things I have hidden from you have taken a toll on us. I know you haven't acknowledged that I'm really here.

    "I'm sorry there is nothing to eat in here except biscuits", I said to him."I'm very content to live in here. I don't need anything the freedom itself is going to help me thrive", he said.He looked around. He saw a couple of photographs with me and my grandmother. I was this chubby baby but my grandmother was holding me. I was four or five.I do miss her. She was a mother figure and a great help for me. She is even helping me now by giving me a place to hide on the run."You are in this trouble because of me. By now I'm sure that Salvatore might have spilled his guts about your involvement", he said to me."I know. But I'm happy that I wasn't trapped with him",I said shuddering.."He had raped countless woman and had even assaulted a woman who dared to fight him back", he said."I'm glad I didn't end up as one myself", I said to him."He wouldn't be alive if he had touched you", he said under his breath.

    "But you are with me now", I told him suppressing a smile."Yes. I was supposed to run alone and leave you at home. But now we are here together because of you", he said to me."Are you sad that you are here with me?", I asked him."I'm not sad. How can I be sad? The only thing I wanted in those lonely days was you. Now you are with me. I don't care about the consequences. But I know that there will be hell to pay for this", he said closing his eyes."Where are you going?", he asked me."I have thought to take you to one of my holiday spots", I murmured distracted. Having a close call with death had certainly rehashed my sense."Are you alright?", he asked me tenderlyI tightened my lips. Was I alright? I didn't know. The marks of his fingerprints might fade over time. But the trauma of being held at gunpoint will stay with me for the rest of my life."I'm good", I said carelessly. His fingers gently touched my forearms. My sleeve was torn and he could easily see the bruises on me. I

    I wanted to help my husband however I ended up doing the exact opposite. But I have trust in one thing that is Salvatore won't say anything that goes against his interest. He wants to escape here outing one's plan means his ability to get out of here as well. So I was sure that he won't tell anyone. But that doesn't stop him from doing something that is going to damage our plans. I have to be really cautious. I had already given up the uniform that was meant for Matt. I was sure that he is going to escape from here using this. But what about Matt? How can he go when the only door before us is closed. I instantly regretted my decision of taking this enormous responsibility. If only I didn't choose to come here. I was instantly recognised by Salvatore. That is the sole reason for our plan to doom.I watched Salvatore closely he was looking tense. His eyes wary even though he was sharing a joke with another mean looking guy. I knew his secret.

    This was a game. A very dangerous one. But I have no choice other than to play this. I'm afraid that this is going to be our last chance to be together. We have to fight every odds to survive. This might even endanger our lives. But we have to somehow battle everything and everyone who is going to stand between us and freedom. I don't dare explain this to Matt. I knew he won't understand my words. He will probably end up being too annoyed to try this out. He might choose to stay and wait. He wouldn't do anything that is going to put me in danger."We have to take him with us as well", I said to him."Don't. You don't know what he had done. He will hurt you pretty bad if he ever got a chance", he said to me."We have to help him or he is going to tell on us", I reminded him."I don't think it is that bad compared to the possibility of taking him with us", he said to me."Why is he so dangerous?
