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.

    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

    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

    "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

    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

    Once I was done with the shower. I realised that there was no towel. I was so much embarrassed that I didn't check before. I stood there cold and cursed myself to be an idiot. To my amazement, Matt knocked on the door and offered me a towel which I gratefully accepted. He was watching me with hooded eyes and I blushed like a new bride. He didn't push the door or attempt to touch me and I was relieved at that because I didn't know whether I was strong enough to stop him. I came outside the bathroom wearing the towel. I saw him on the outside through the glass doors. Thankfully I quickly wore a dress and with nothing else to do decided to join my husband."This place is really beautiful", I said to him."Yes it is", he said looking at me. I wasn't sure what he was talking about his eyes stayed on mine locking me."We can't go out trekking out at night. So catch up on your sleep and wake up tomorrow", he said."I slept in the jet so I'm not tired", I told him."What do you want to do?",

    "What is it?", he asked concern in his eyes."My father is in hospital", I said bursting into tears. To my surprise, he hugged me and I didn't care that he was my enemy. I wanted someone to hold me I was falling apart. "I want to see him", I managed to say."We will be leaving right away", he said soothing me. I concentrated on breathing. I didn't want to have a panic attack when my father needed me. He made the calls for our flight.We reached the hospital and there was Mrs Singh our housekeeper as well as Lisa. Even though he had been cruel to them both they cared for him and he will realise it today."How is he?", I asked."Mrs Singh found him struggling to breathe. She called the ambulance. The doctors say that it was a minor attack", she said."Oh god!", I said."Can we see him?", I asked desperately."Not yet. But he is showing progress according to that nurse", she said pointing out to a random nurse. She smiled at us.I decided to stay here and let them go because I was the d

    "Don't worry he is going to be alright", said him. I looked away else he would see my deep hurt."Get some sleep", he said withdrawing his fingers from my face.I gently laid down on the bed thankful that I had avoided a confrontation tonight. He was giving me some space but that didn't provide him any form of sympathy for me. I'm going to make him accountable for his past mistakes. He should expect no mercy from me.Morning I woke up early but Matt had already left the bed. I got freshened up and got ready for office. I went to Mrs Morgan caretaker of both the house and the people."Had Matt already left?", I asked her."No he is working from home", she said dismissively."Ok. I will make coffee for him", I said."He only likes coffee made by me or himself", she said as a matter of pride.I wanted to roll my eyes at her silly attitude. But I was determined to be nice to her.

I don't want you to break up with your boyfriend for a marriage which is for namesake ", he said." That is not all. I'm not ready to have sex with you Matt", I said."Ever?", he asked me calmly but I saw a storm brewing in his eyes."For some time, I wanted to get to know you. These five years both of us have changed. It is like living with a new person. I can't just do something deeply private with a guy I barely knew", I said."You know me, Meredith. I'm Matt who played checkers with you", he said."Please don't I don't want to remember that guy. You asked me to forget that time.

    "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. 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
