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
I know I have done some bad but it was necessary because I want to pay Matt in full. This is the only way to do it smoothly. I just had to make sure that Parker was responsible while using the card. I woke up and remembered that I had to visit my doctor again. I checked with Matt and he said he wanted to drop me off. So Rashid didn't come with me today. My husband and I went to see the doctor. I was nervous. But thankfully the visit went uneventful. She asked me several questions and did a scan.I felt my eyes water at the sight of a tiny human figure inside. I still couldn't believe that it was my baby. I didn't want to lose my child like the last time. I didn't voice out my fears, however. I knew that Matt didn't like to talk about the past. The announcement of the baby had itself put great pressure on our relationship but we managed to move past it. So I was treading carefully now afraid that even a small wind was going to shake our boat. The weather was against us and we only had
"You look good other than the fact that you are pregnant", he said equally uncomfortable."I need to go over a couple of things with you first", I said."Yeah right", he said."I'm given this card with good faith. I don't want you to take advantage of Matt's trust", I said to him."What do you mean by that? Why give me the card if you don't want me to use it", he said petulantly."That is not what I meant. You can use this but you can't overdraw it. I need to know the exact expense you are drawing from the card so I can keep a tally. I want to give him back the exact amount you are using", I said."Listen I know how to use a card alright. I used to own several like this", he said to me."I know. I'm sorry I'm just trying to make sure that Matt is not at all affected by this arrangement. Matt had given me so much already. I don't want to make him look like a fool", I said."You won't. If I'm not in such a soup I wouldn't have even asked for your card", he said with a scoff. But you are
I felt a breath of fresh air brushing through me as I went out of that place. I never realised being away from Parker can give me so much peace of mind. I never thought that my affection for him die at a fast pace. Then again he was not the same Parker anymore. At least he wasn't the one who I have been with. He had changed. Maybe he was always the same man but he was a little better earlier. He never showed what he thought before me.I can't exactly put my finger on what was the issue between me and Lisa. I knew she didn't approve of my choice to lend the card to Parker. But I was only doing it out of extreme necessity and it was only for a little while till we had paid off everything. Then we can easily lend money from the bank and pay back every employee including Parker. Till then I needed him to off my back. It could be termed as a selfish decision. But I had no other choice or means. I know maybe Matt will hate me forever after this but right now I can't let it affect me. I want
It was a long journey. I once wondered whether he would make a quick stop. I almost looked at him when he slowed the car. He shook his head in negative as though he wasn't going to and to say the truth I was a little disappointed."I hadn't touched you for a long time. A quickie in the car just won't do it for me princess", he said. I giggled."I'm just being careful potholes and all", he said to me.I looked outside it was very dark. The moon wasn't visible. I felt a chill go down my spine which had nothing to do with the cold."Slow down the car. That car belongs to my father ", I said to him.He immediately slowed the car down. I watched the familiar black Mercedes on the door. I quickly scanned the number plate. It was unmissable. That is my father's car. The driving seat door is slightly ajar. There wasn't a sign of crashing thankfully. He understood my concern. He quickly stopped the car. We had already covered several distances but the car was still visible to me. "I will qui
"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
