I was settled in my cabin after the storm passed. I watched everyone taking their respective seats when tye drama was finally ovdr. How embarrassing was that to watch? I was dying here alone in shame. To make a spectacle out of our personal issues in office was unthinkable. Thank God! My father isn't here to make it even more embarrassing. He wasn't feeling well today. My door was opened and I lifted my eyes to see Lisa standing there smiling ear to ear. I gave her a half shrug as if I was really tired. I don't want her to make fun of me."What did I miss today? I'm getting a lot of gossip on how your husband nearly punched the drama queen", she said with a smirk."Come on there was no punching. He was just being an idiot", said I."There is no way that Matt is an idiot. Who would want their wife to work with their ex?", she said siding with Matt."The mature ones does. But that doesn't apply to Matt obviously", said I."You do love him though", said she."Unfortunately yes", I said.
I have been home and ignored. I had enough of this drama. How could one survive through this? I have no idea. This is a really bad place for me and my baby. I was so sick of Matt that I could easily hit his head hard. I have no idea how to get through his thick skull to make him understand that I no longer cared for his hot and cold attitude. The way he came down to Parker one would think that he was the ultimate lover but in reality, it was all for a show-off. The truth is that he no longer cares for me even if I beg for it.I had already packed my bags and went to Matt's room he was sitting with a file on his lap. I felt my anger once again bubble up. He was initially surprised to see me immediately he got his guard on. This made me once again mad."I'm going", I announced."Go where?", he announced."Anywhere away from you", I said."Why?", he asked coldly."Because I will go crazy if I stay here anymore", I said to him."So it hadn't got anything to do with your ex back in town?",
"What happened?", asked Lisa utterly surprised to see me. I was carrying my bag and crying a lot. I didn't come alone though Rashid accompanied me. I wasn't in a position to say no. I wasn't in a state of driving and I knew he wanted the baby to be safe not me. I have made peace with the fact that we would never be what were once to each other. It has gone blown away. I was deceived and taken advantage of in the worst possible way. I could never live with him. It will kill me slowly. I had made my choice and it made me happy."He said all those bull shit to you?", asked Lisa still in disbelief."It was way worse. How could he lie to me? Everything was revenge on him. He told me that he married me because he hates me. He accused me of killing our first child", said I."How could he? I'm so angry at him for hurting you", said Lisa."I only wish to make a safe space for my child", I said."You will be a good mother don't ever doubt that", said Lisa."What if Matt takes away my child?", I
I slept fitfully last night. I don't know why maybe it was the fact that the reality that me and Matt are going our separate ways. It was heartbreaking there was no other way for me. I can't deal with any more of this uncertainty. Once I woke up there was an unexpected visitor for me. My father had decided to intervene in my life once again. He wanted to advise me on my love life again. Does he ever learn? I already know the answer to my question. Lisa had awkwardly brought him inside. He was also his ex well kind of. They were engaged but only under extreme duress and I knew she regretted it every second."So I hadn't heard wrong?", he said unpleasantly."How can I help you?", I asked him trying my tone even."What are you doing in here?", he asked me."I'm staying with my best friend for a while till I figure things out", I said."Figure out what? You are supposed to do one thing and you can't even get it right", he said with contempt."I don't understand. Can you speak plainly?", I
I got dressed for the office. I would rather think of it as a battle. I knew the things that would be waiting for at the office were nothing short of war. I have to find a way to survive it and I have to do it alone. I found Rashid already waiting for me when I reached outside Lisa's house. I bit my lips nervously. I wanted to tell him off mercilessly but I knew it was not the right thing to do. He is only an employee of Matt. I shouldn't blame him for obeying his orders."I don't want you to be with me anymore", I said to him. Christ, why was I sounding like a girl who wants to get rid of a guy? He stayed silent as though he was waiting for me to finish my words."I will stay with Lisa from now on. Me and Matt are going our separate ways. Thanks for everything though", I said."I didn't get an order from Mr Farrell yet. I would humbly request you to let me do my job till I have it", he said."Maybe it is because of my pregnancy. I guess it is only a couple of months more", I said. Af
"To my office", I said to him trying to reign myself. This was a hospital I reminded myself for the hundredth time."What about the tests? When will you do that?", he asked tersely."When I feel like it", I said sarcastically. "You better do the tests right now", he said. "Excuse me. Why now? I have to work. I will come in the evening to do them. The doctor will understand", I said. "Just do the tests Meredith", he said. "I can't I'm late already", I said wanting to stomp my feet so badly because of frustration. "You can go after the tests", he said through clenched teeth. "What about you? You will go to your office like every time after ordering me right? It is always the woman who has to take instruction from a man even if it is about her baby", I said seething. "I will stay with you of course. I want to be there", he said voice so low and tight with emotions. "Fine", I said. I knew there was going to be hell to pay while going to my office. The tests were done. He waited
"The board meeting happened and you weren't there", he said."I had an emergency", I said to him."Ok. Your father looked angry", he said."My father gets angry easily, especially at me. I'm staying overtime as he told though", I said."Woah! It is your company Mer. You don't have to work bloody overtime", he said annoyed."It is ok. I would be working at home anyway", I said."I too have some work to finish up", he said."Ok. Good luck with that", I said rising."Can we do it together? Your room is much more bigger and comfortable than mine", he said."Why not?", I told him.He looked surprisingly happy that I let him use my office. It had a better view than his. I hardly sit and stare at the view though but whenever I feel a little stuck. I watch the window to feel alive. It soothes me. I never thought that it was a privilege until now.When I related what happened to Lisa she snorted. She said she has yet to see the day when Parker works. He is not that bad though. He did get some
"Are you happy now?", I asked him unable to keep the snarkiness from my tone."I would have been happy if I got to punch him", he said. I couldn't understand whether he was joking or not."You wouldn't dare", I said."It is not a matter of dare", he said leaning back on the car seat. I wanted to ask him why he was behaving this way but I knew the answer already he wanted to be in control of me and I was letting him."I'm not going home. When I said it I meant Lisa's place", I said."I figured", he said giving directions to our home."What are you doing?", I asked him."I changed my mind. You aren't going anywhere till the three months are over", he said."It is only twenty-seven days left", I said."I know. I can keep you home at least till that day", he said."I'm not going to forgive you for this", I said."Yes. It is a small price to pay for your safety", he said."What do you mean?", I asked him."You keep making bad decisions. It seems like I can't trust you where the baby is con
