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
I think I have been feeling regret and sadness for many days, I almost feel numb now. I met my mother recently. She came to see her ex-husband one last time. She said that she regretted not building a relationship with me. That was all I remember. I couldn't understand anything else being said or done that day. It was all in a haze. I felt my heart break into two when I realised that I lost a man who had enough decency to raise me and leave me all alone. He might be a bad father because I was a bad daughter. He expected a son while I was a daughter.He wanted me to do my graduation and marry Parker but I ended up being pregnant and married Matt and divorced him later on. The marriage didn't last but then what happened was what only movies could show. Matt came back to my life. I knew that Matt coming back was going to affect me in a big way and it did happen. I'm afraid for myself now. I had my father last time who had helped me in a way to put myself together. I knew that can't happ
"Who is in charge of my father's murder case?", I asked in frustration.It had been more than a month there had been hardly any progress. A senior cop came with a look of annoyance on his face. I knew that I had overstayed my welcome. They had been trying to be kind to me but I was turning more and more bitchy. I knew it wasn't their fault. There was no clue. They have questioned everyone. They have their doubts about a drug addict with the need for quick cash to fund their addiction. The money was missing but his expensive watch and cufflinks still were with him. So they are very confused right now."Listen we are doing everything we can. You have to be patient", he said."How long?", I asked him."Months, years one could hardly tell", he said."So what am I supposed to do?", I asked him. My voice was broken with pain."Wait I guess. Looks like you need the rest. How far along are you?", he asked me."That is irrelevant", I said to him."Ok. You have to go or we will be forced to rem
"No more contracts", I said to him. My voice ringing with finality.He looked extremely pissed off at me and so was I. This was getting more and more complicated. He wants me only to have my baby. How could I allow that."This had been really painful to me. I don't understand how to fix our relationship. It doesn't matter how many dates we go. The mistrust is still going to be there. I'm going back to my house", I said to him."Is that a threat?", he asked me."No. It is a fact. I have given him the card because we had no salary to pay him and you forced us to fire him", I said."I don't regret that decision. He doesn't sound too disappointed by that. He had a gala time shopping for a guy named Eric. I suppose that is his boyfriend", he said."How do you know that?", I asked in surprise."It is my job to know these things. As I said earlier I thought your card was stolen initially. Then you lied about still having it when I made the bank call you", he said."That was you", I said with
"Where did he go?", she asked me."I don't know", I said to her.The chords if our relationship had somehow broken I have no idea why. I only told her this because I'm trying to revive our friendship one last time. But I could sense that it was futile. She was more concerned about Matt than me. I have ni clue how such a huge shift in relationship happened. But I knew that this is something that will stay. I have to get used to it."I'm sure you are happy because you have gotten rid of him", she said with pursed lips."I didn't ask for that. He was the one who is adamant about leaving", I said."He is crazy for you. No one would do things he does for you", she said.For the first time I could sense something that bordered on jealousy from her tone. Why would she be jealous? I mean I don't even want to be in this forced marriage."Excuse me? You call this love?", I asked flabbergasted. "I don't know what else to call it other than True love. You never cared for his feelings anyways", s
I waited for Parker and he came. When he waltzed into our home I was rather surprised. I thought that security would ask for clearance or something. He gave me a self-assured smile. It would have melted a girl's heart. He was handsome and beyond. He was what a woman would want but not me. I wanted a certain guy who had no smiles to spare for anyone and was usually a grump. If he managed to smile at me I would be over the moon. But that girl was living a fool's dream that she could ever have the fire without getting burnt."You are amazed to see me!", he observed."I thought the security won't let you through", I said to him."They didn't but I told them that I was your employee", he said showing me the old card he had for getting inside my cabin."Ok", I said taking a blank cheque and writing the amount that was due to him.He looked at the money without hiding his greed. I was surprised that Parker had turned into someone that I don't recognise anymore.He accepted the money enthusia
Matt hadn't left the home. I knew he wouldn't be leaving any time soon. I have broken the agreement and called Parker. He considered it as a huge betrayal and his punishment was that he would stay here and make me pay for my crimes. How? I don't know maybe it is the way he glowered at me. I watched painfully as he put more and more distance between us. He hadn't talked to me at all. He refused to accept the card or my money. He said he wasn't going to lower himself that way. He still regrets involving money between us in the first place. It was right of him to think so. Nothing good had come out of it. He had bought me by giving money to my company.I had gone numb. I had no more place to feel hurt. There was no occasional catching up with my friend. Lisa had cut me off from her life. This was the time when I truly missed my best friend. I hated what happened to us. I partially blamed Matt for that as well. If only he hadn't stolen Lisa from me. Why did he have to be this way? Why cou
"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
