"It is weird to even think of joining back since I had already resigned. They will think that I am a crazy woman who doesn't even know what I want", I said to Lisa.She was still on leave. My father would never allow her to take more leave but Matt had once again stepped in for her. She needed the leave desperately since she wanted to be with her mom. She is currently under the treatment of a miracle drug. She needed a lot of money which my father had paid. She was even under the contract to marry my father because my father thought that marrying a young woman could restore his investor's faith in him. But it was a very bad idea our stocks were now at an all-time low after the stunt my father pulled. They now consider him a cheap guy who still hasn't come to terms with his age. I would have sided with him if he had done it for love instead of some selfish motives."You will always be welcomed back. It was a matter of time. Even your father knows how important you are to the company",
His eyebrows crinkled when he realised that his declaration of love wasn't affecting me the way it should. I was sad for him. He looked very desperate. I would have married him in a heartbeat if Matt was not in the picture. I was very much indebted to him. He helped me get out of my shell and be the Meredith I am today."I want you to forget me and move on like I did", I said finally."Matt? You still believe that he cares for you. I didn't want to tell you this initially. But you left me with no choice. Here is it come on read it", he said giving me a small magazine. He rolled his eyes when I looked at it absurdly. Did he want me to read Business Times now? He quickly took it from my hands turned several pages and shoved it to me. I saw there was a small news article about Matt. It was about a vineyard and a takeover. I watched it confused."Your husband wants to buy this vineyard. It is in France. He is going to extend his business into hospitality as well. Pierre the owner of this
I was stuck outside and felt the frost biting into my skin. I cried in protest when I felt a cold rush of chilly air pass through my body. Then suddenly I was getting warm. I realised that I was being kissed my eyes opened swiftly to find Matt kissing my neck. My nightgown was open to my waist. My fingers curled on his hair while his lips crushed to mine. He pulled back when he was breathless."I need to tell you something", I said almost panting. His eyes met mine. He wasn't annoyed at me for stopping him in the middle of having hot sex."Tell me princess", he said.I paused I almost told him how I met Parker. I wanted to shed the weight on my shoulders admitting that my ex told me something scary. Even though I knew he was wrong I wanted to hear it from him. Will Matt accept that our meeting was innocent? Will he get angry? I didn't know but I knew I must tell him the truth. It will suffocate me."I love you so much", I said. He should know this before I tell him anything. This was
"Father you wanted to see me?", I said to him letting those words hang in the air as a question. Nothing resembling love between a father and a daughter was in the air all that was left was coldness and bitterness."Come and sit", he said looking tensed. I have never seen him like this before even when our company was incurring heavy losses back to back. Even when he had a heart attack. He looked frail now and no more the intimidating man he once was. I almost felt pity for him."I hope you are not overworking yourself", I said the only concern that was eating me. I didn't want him to die in the office no matter what evil deeds he might have done he was still my father."I can't not work. I don't have a rich husband like you", he said. I watched him stupified. Was he serious? He thinks I was being lazy because of my rich husband. Does he even remember the insults that I got for helping him? Did he forget the threat he made to me and to the extent of almost firing me because I question
"You look happy working suits you", he said. I was immersed in my laptop unaware of him standing by the door in the bedroom. A mischievous smile lurks at the corner of his mouth. Did he already know that I was blocking him from taking over my company? He doesn't look annoyed only amused. I could have ended this and simply asked him why he was going against his words. He promised me that he wouldn't sell off my company those clauses are there to protect his interests and they are present in every contract he makes. He could have just waited six months and then do something about it. Why was he hurrying up the process? He could take my company if we don't pay him back. It was only a matter of months and the way we are going there is no way we could pay him back. Was this really about the deal? The vineyard in France is where his interest is caught up. "You are zoning out on me again?", he asked me pushing me back from my thoughts. "Sorry, I tend to do that with everyone. I guess I'm j
The calls kept on coming. I had to attend every one of them while Matt lay beside me smirking. He occasionally tweaked my nipples which made me squeak. I ended the call immediately after he did it for the third time."What are you doing?", I asked him flushing. "What?", he asked innocently."Don't disturb me these calls are important", I said as if I was speaking to a child. "But you are not working now", he pointed out. "I'm always working thanks to the asshole who is behind this", I said to him. "Maybe that asshole is trying to lower your burden", he said. "How so?", I asked him. "Because he knows those fuckers are using you for their merit. Hell, they made you quit before that", he said. "Well that was a mutual decision", I said. He didn't say anything but looked me in the eyes deeply as though he was asking me to be sincere to myself. "They won't take it until I'm working there", I said to him. "Ok. If you don't want I will back off", he said. "So you are the asshole",
"So you stopped him from buying the fucking company as a gift for you?", she asked completely shocked."Yes", I answered with a smile."You are fucking crazy", she declared."You know it is not the gift but the thought behind", I said to her unhappy face."You could have owned this shit but here you are staying as an employee like me. You are worse than me. You don't even get paid", she said with a sigh."I will get paid once the company turns profitable", I said."That will probably happen in your dreams", she said. I felt a pang on my chest Lisa is probably right. We are still fighting for our survival. He backed off from buying the company but still, it would belong to him if we didn't pay his loan back. I haven't openly asked him. But I knew he would let it go since he cared about me and didn't want to hurt me anyway. I want to pay back his debt. That is only fair since he spends this many dollars. I won't fully feel comfortable in this relationship unless we pay every penny back.
"You don't have to stick up there. I'm not going to go back against my word", he said to me."I trust you, Matt. But I should stay there otherwise I don't think they will be able to pay up the amount due to you" I said with a sigh."I don't expect anything from them princess. I tried to buy the company but that is only for you. I wanted to give it to you as a gift but you didn't seem to want that. So I'm going to forget that I have paid them anything", he said disinterestedly."I know you are doing it for me and I'm feeling extra guilty", I confessed to him."Why would you feel guilty?", he asked me."I don't know I'm feeling bad that you have paid money to make me your wife. I don't want that to define our marriage anymore. We have come long past that. We have deep feelings for each other", I said to him."You think paying back money is going to fix everything?", he asked confused."I think so", I admitted to him."I spent that money so that you give me a chance to prove that our rela
"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. She was sitting on a chair not that far away", she said."Why you did
When I finally was able to pull myself together I stood up. It wasn't an easy thing for a woman to do. Leaving a marriage is one of the toughest thing for a woman to do. Even if he was abusive it takes a lot of strength for us to actually get out of the relationship. Some will return and finally after a multitude of forgiveness and resentment we will be finally be ready to shed that part of our life and then slowly we will move on. I was finally able to break this circle of disappointment and crushed hopes.When I opened the door I couldn't see him. I was glad that he had given upon trying to stop me. I didn't want to fight with him on my way out. I want to leave with a good memory. I should have known that our relationship will be doomed. I tried to save it. I have to admit I did a pretty good job of helping him. Only if he was a little more interested in living with me like I was. But I have already forgiven him and myself for desperation. That is what we had not love but the need
"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. Somewhere deep down you stil
"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. I was sure that he didn't want to say it out alloud."What did you do here?", h
"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. He was going to get out and he didn't want t
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? How could he hurt me while you are with me?", I asked him."This question itself proves how
