"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
I have lost the ability to argue with my husband or the stubborn Mrs Morgan so I served them with my greatest weapon silent treatment. I don't know how effective it will be because they would feel far more blessed with my silence than my words sting me a little. But I refuse to let them take more space in my head. It should be reserved for my baby and work not for my estranged husband. I don't know what he wants to prove by holding a piece of paper above my head. It is only a few more days then I'm free to leave him. I just have to wait for that day.The morning came and I went to my office taking extreme measures not to have an encounter with my husband again.I saw Lisa who had been hurrying down the hall with a box. I got worried what happened? I knew something was define wrong."Lisa why are you clearing the office?", I asked her."I'm not doing it for me. Matt fired Parker", she said gleefully."What the fuck!", I asked surprised."He didn't hold that kind of power in here", I sa
I was so powerless that it made me irritated. I worked like I was possessed. I had tried for a few supply orders and a few replies came back. I was ecstatic to know that we would be finally able to pay him back if my father forgo his salary for the month. I knew the fight was going to be tough and I would find a way to let it happen. My father should sacrifice something for the first time in his life and it is going to be tough to convince him. I will do it somehow. It is going to fetch me my freedom.I asked Lisa to make an appointment and she said my father was too busy for his daughter. I nearly wondered whether he knew what I was going to ask him. Is that why he wasn't seeing me? I finally decided to go and meet him. I don't fucking care about the consequences anymore."Hello father", I said to my father who was watching something on his laptop. I discovered it was a YouTube video. I neatly rolled my eyes when he closed the screen too quickly."I'm busy", he said to me."I know bu
The day is finally here. We had just sent the cheque to Matt. I'm sure he didn't expect a payment from our side. But then again neither did I. But I tried my level best and I achieved what was considered an impossible task. I was proud of every employee who didn't take their salary for this month. Ultimately my father agreed to sacrifice his share as well. He can't anger everyone else in the company. Even he wasn't dumb enough to think that he could survive alone. He knew it was impossible to overcome the wrath of his board members especially when he had plans to increase his salary soon. He hadn't told me explicitly but I saw that on his laptop while I was preparing his presentation.We ended the celebration with a pizza party and the payment I had transferred from my father's account. He was furious when he found it out. But I convinced him how important was it to lift the employee morale. He agreed fuming. I knew my days as an executive and CEO were getting near the end and my acti
I haven't given him my answer yet. I knew he was waiting for it. I know the smartest thing to do would be to say no to him. But somehow I wasn't able to do that. Why was it he would always manage to drag me down to the deepest pits of depravity yet I could never say no to him? He was the devil whispering sweet nothings to the Eve in me. The bravest thing that I did today was that I denied him an immediate answer. But there is another important thing my answer is going to be mostly yes. That is why I ran away to the office to stall time. I hope he forgets what he asked me. I knew that it was a false hope.I decided to talk to my best friend yet again. She was probably the only person in the universe who wouldn't judge me while listening to me. I can imagine what is she going to say already though."I knew it", she said with a smile."What?", I asked her."You are going to get back together", she said ruefully."We are not", I protested."Then what is this strange proposal", she asked w
I returned home very tired. I had willingly waited till the office time was far over. So that I can see how he is going to react. That way I can easily say no. I guess one could say that I was sort of provoking him. I knew that could be the only way I could say no to him. When he made me extremely angry to the point that I was able to reject him outright. However, when I returned home I was greeted by beautiful flowers on the doorstep. I was very careful not to step on those beautiful expensive flowers. When I reached the door I saw my husband waiting for me with a smile."What is this all about?", I asked in surprise."Well, Rashid told me that you would be little late so I thought of making you welcome", he said."I thought you would be angry", I said."Why? I knew you were working and it was only another half an hour. I know I have not been a supportive husband lately but I want to let you know that I'm not a cad", he said with a chuckle."You just had to wait for our marriage to
I have been stunt into silence. Mrs Morgan leaving us was something that I never expected. I have always had a complicated relationship with her. She would always make me doubt myself. She wasn't mean or anything but she always seemed to have an opinion for what I was always doing. She wasn't at all like Mrs Singh. She wanted to be a mother figure to Matt. She wanted to control me in a way that I cater to every desire of her son. Only issue is that he wasn't his actual son even if he was she shouldn't try to interfere in his relationship complicating everything."She thought of telling you goodbye but she later decided that it wasn't necessary since you already have enough on your plate", said he."I would like to meet her", I said. She had my respect. She served me best coffee when I had worst days. I'm going to miss Mrs Morgan in some ways. But in some ways not so much."I hope you know that it has nothing to do with you", he said with concern."That is good to know", I said."Ok. N
Hurdles are not a new thing in my business. I knew I had to settle Parker but we didn't have any money at the moment. I already knew this but still, I dialled Lisa. She picked up right away."How was the date?", she asked me from the other end. She might have thought that I called her to fill her in about the date. I sighed and wished that was the case."It went great. We kissed", I said."Just kiss?", she asked me."We are taking it slow", I said."Slow? Honey, he is your husband and you are pregnant with his child", she said with a laugh."Yes. But that is what we both want", so I said."It is good that you are both opening up with each other", she said."We have an issue", I said to her."What?", she asked in surprise."Parker is asking for payment", I said."Damn it. Can't that selfish ass hole wait for a month?", she asked me."No, I don't think so. He wants immediate payment. I guess he had some financial issues", I said."We all have it. My rent is due. I don't know what to say
