Chapter 132: How to Suvive Dinner
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Brayden had said he had an idea that would help Meredith get through Dinner with his family Friday night. But Meredith was skeptical. She wasn’t so much skeptical that the idea would help her to relax and get through the toughest night since she had gotten married.
Meredith was skeptical as to whether Brayden even had an actual idea. The only thing he had talked to her about since he mentioned it was the fact that she had Jacob create files on both Brayden and Mizuki.
That wasn’t helping her relax or feel better about the dinner she was expected to attend. It was already dinner time and Brayden had yet to mention anything. Meredith had pretty much lost any kind of faith that she thought she had in Brayden’s abilities to get her through the upcoming family dinner.
Brayden could tell something

Meredith sat in the car on the way to her father-in-law's home, the home that Brayden had grown up in. Brayden was holding her hand. He squeezed gently and locked eyes with her. She smiled at his questioning gaze letting him know that she was going to be there for him tonight as he had been there for her.She looked out her window and could still vividly remember the night before when Brayden had bit her shoulder causing her to gasp. She hated and loved his bites. They woke up parts of her that had slept for far too long.Being dormant for so long a day in Sweden wasn’t enough to fulfill her. Particularly when her husband’s superpowers included the way he worked her body with his own. She didn’t think she would ever satisfy the need of him.Brayden had bit Meredith then rolled her to her back

Sean pulled up to a Brownstown on the outskirts of Lincoln Park near Park West. The home was a Queen Anee’s greystone. There was a small courtyard surrounded by greenery and shrubs which were mostly covered in snowfall. In the center of the courtyard was an elegant bronze fountain.Brayden led Meredith past the stone bench seating in the stone plaza courtyard up the steps to a small porch. He paused and turned to Meredith and gave her the most simple yet passionate kiss he had to date. It was full of meaning. He pulled back and looked intently into her eyes.She was wearing a black cape coat and sheer black tights with a single thin black line traveling vertically up the back of the leg. She had a pair of black matte Louboutin chic pumps with a polka dot motif.“I am in love with you,&r
My Death Contract Chapter 135: Edward and Helena
After dessert was cleared Meredith’s father-in-law had walked to the back of the house with Brayden to talk to him about something. Helena and Chelsea were looking as though they were trying to be friendly but not succeeding. More so it looked like Chelsea was tolerating Helena. Clinton was rocking his son Bryce while feeding him a bottle and avoiding Chelsea’s attempts to take over. From where Meredith sat sipping her wine it looked as though neither Clinton nor Chelsea wanted to entertain Helena. “Your husband left you without a tour,” Edward commented. He was the only one left sitting at the table besides Meredith. She gave him a polite smile and he got up and offered her his hand to show her around the home. Meredith reluctantly got up but without taking his hand. She did want to see the rest of t

Meredith stood looking in the mirror at Madame Z’s. She had been in that very spot many times over the past week. Madame Z had tossed all different types of gowns and cocktail dresses. Her week had been long and went by in such a flash she couldn’t even remember all the things Madame Z had stuffed her into.She did recall a few pant suits and hybrid pants and dress. She wasn’t sure of what Madame had finally decided on but she was meant to be the center focus of the event. She had put it together with a great deal of help from Jacob and Helena ‘trying’ to help.Helena was doing anything but help as she was stopping by when she thought Brayden would be home alone. At least that’s what it seemed like to Meredith and she wasn’t sure why. She assumed Helena wanted to ask Brayden something about Edward without anyone knowing.Meredith wasn’t entirely sure what that was all about but she thought about asking after

Meredith was greeting her guests. She wore a red Valentino gown with a full skirt and abstract pleated top. Her Blonde hair was up in a chic slicked low twisted bun. She wore a gold Valentino logo hair clip encrusted with crystals. Her Cherry red stained lips matched her gown.Most of the guests Meredithnot only didn’t know but she had no idea who they were. Brayden seemed to know everyone although he didn’t seem keen on being too social. He held a serious flat expression and other than the darkness behind his eyes there wasn’t much difference from talking to him and an animated statue.Meredith understood why he needed help with the social requirements of the CEO’s chair. She had been to a couple of functions with him so far. At Mizuki’s charity dinner she saw Brayden talking to guests but only from afar and couldn’t really tell how he went about it.He seemed to interact with Mizuki okay but they were best friends and he was

Meredith was on the rooftop of the Maxwell Sharpe Building where she was being led by her husband through a winter wonderland garden. She was exhausted. She had been planning and preparing herself for that one night on overdrive to make sure she could get it all in time.It was a last minute charity dinner that she pulled together with the help of Jacob, Brayden’s assistant. Brayden had suggested it as a way to get him brownie points towards the social requirements to obtain the CEO title.Meredith didn’t want to wonder what would happen if somehow Brayden didn’t become the next CEO. Anytime the thought began to creep around her she quickly pushed it aside. She didn’t want to entertain that scenario much less jinx herself into living it.Brayden stopped in front of a small table that was off

Meredith had been talking to her best friend Taylor when their friend Ben joined in the conversation temporarily while Brayden looked awkward. Finally, Ben gestured to Taylor and she mouthed ‘Oh…’“Well Maxwells, we are going to the bar up here. We heard you have a strawberry champagne sangria that’s amazing and…well, you know me and sangria” Taylor explained chuckling.“Or you and any alcohol.” Meredith teased.“Right!” Taylor then leaned in and lowered her voice. “Don’t let him get away with whatever it is just because he’s a David.”“I won’t…” Meredith responded as Taylor gave her a hug then surprised Brayden and gave him a hug as well.

Meredith was thoroughly enjoying the garden party. There were immaculate flowers, greenery and shrubs delicately sprinkled around the greenest lushest lawn Meredith had ever seen. She had gotten so many compliments on her outfit. Of course, she gave all the credit to Brayden who had picked it all out. Brayden charmed all the women without even saying anything, when he did they were almost faint.Meredith shook her head at it all and went about the party trying every bit of the au d'oeuvres that were presented. If she found one that was exceptional she would pop it in Brayden’s mouth. Brayden didn’t complain because he loved watching Meredith doing this little dance of the foodie.The Baxton’s finally caught up with Meredith and Brayden near the sushi station where Meredith was trying a mini dragon roll.

Meredith and Brayden had finished their fourth and last jump of the day. They had been at the Chicagoland Skydiving Center for nearly the whole day. They were having so much of a fun time it felt like time flew by and before they knew it they were on jump four and starting to wear out a bit.They thanked Steve and scheduled to come back in a week to go over more ground training and get some more jumps in. Then they headed on their way.“I’ll drive. You’re exhausted, babe,” Brayden said and he opened the passenger seat for Meredith to get in.“It’s just an excuse to drive my car.”“Maybe”“Did you like it really?” Meredith asked with a yawn as Brayden slid into the driver’s seat.“I loved it! I think we should do jumps on Saturday and Sunday. Eight jumps a week and we can get to two hundred in no time.” Brayden looked like he was grinning, which to anyone else would look like a small smile. Meredith knew her husband was excited and so was she. Brayden drove towards Schaumburg and foun
My Death Contract Chapter 209: Mystery Date
Meredith woke up earlier than usual for a Saturday. She had a long night and had only managed to squeeze in a few hours of sleep. Still she felt refreshed and with excitement that her husband was slightly afraid of. He of course had been up long before she opened her eyes.Brayden recalled the kayaking date, which was fun with a hint of danger being him falling into the river with Meredith laughing. But that was nothing compared to her jumping down the Swiss Wall. And while they were separated Brayden had no idea what Meredith had been up to. Jacob had been very vague with his reports.Brayden, who wasn’t sure how to dress for wherever Meredith was taking them, opted for casual attire. He wore a pair of Bruno Magli Italian leather sneakers in a dark burnished chestnut color. He had on a pair of Brunello Cucinelli navy cashmere creased sweatpants and a white Tom Ford t-shirt under a black The Row cashmere zip up hoodie.He followed Dino into the kitchen where he first fed Dino then pre

Meredith and Brayden took the elevator down to Brayden’s office. Brayden seemed to be deep in thought so Meredith decided not to interrupt. Finally just as they entered Brayden’s office he turned to her and raised an eyebrow.“What?” Meredith asked, confused.“What’s going on tomorrow?” Brayden asked in a serious tone.“I just decided to pick up a new hobby and thought it would be great if you came with me,” Meredith gave her best I’m-an-angel smile and puppy dog eyes.“As long as you aren’t planning on jumping off the side of a mountain again.” Brayden moved in close to his wife and searched her eyes.“Not at the moment,” Meredith smirked. Brayden leaned in to kiss the smirk off Meredith’s face. She reached around his waist and he wrapped her in his embrace as they both sighed a calming peaceful sigh simultaneously.“If you want to move back to the condo let’s make it happen.” Brayden conceded. “I don’t care where I live as long as I’m with you.” Meredith looked up into Brayden’s sin
My Death Contract Chapter 207: Nervous
Meredith was on her way out the office to have lunch with Brayden before they went to see his father to talk about the CEO position. Brayden had felt very strongly about securing the title. So much so that he had coerced a random stranger in the elevator into marrying him. Meredith sighed in relief as she walked out of her building and saw Sean waiting with the familiar Mercedes to take her to the Maxwell Sharpe building. She had on her black belted pleated short sleeve Burberry dress and her strappy Louboutin stiletto sandals. “It’s good to see you, Sean. Thank you.” Meredith said as she reached the car. “It’s good to see you too, Mrs. Maxwell.” Sean responded. Meredith smiled and got into the car and they were soon on their way. Meredith was slightly nervous about

Meredith felt that familiar thumping and the pounding through her body as her feet hit the treadmill mat in her building’s workout room. She looked out the window at the natural light shining in the already bright workout space and smiled. She no longer needed to run as an escape or to be strong enough to push things down in order to be a perfect Maxwell. This time she had chosen Brayden and they truly were a united team going into things. As she was running she remembered her parents’ had been suspicious about her relationship with Brayden. Maybe they should look for a new home. It would be weird if Meredith had told her parents that they were getting a new place and they just kept the old one. Meredith shrugged to herself, and started her cooldown. Technically her apartment was a new place for them. And t
My Death Contract Chapter 205: Meredith's David
Meredith woke up in her husband's arms and didn’t want to get out of bed. She sighed and picked up her phone and pressed the button to light up the display flashing the time before her eyes. Another sigh and a light groan later and she was getting out of bed and headed into her shared walk-in-closet and chose something to wear from her work wardrobe.She picked a Tommy Hilfiger pencil skirt with front faux zippered pockets. She paired it with a pair of BCBG black pumps and her Eileen silk top. Meredith got washed and dressed and grabbed her Michael Kors bag and headed out for work.She texted Jacob as she walked from her apartment to her job and made sure that was going to send Brayden home on time and make sure that he ate lunch. Meredith decided she was going to nag about this for the week.She d

“No secrets, Mere.” Taylor was looking Meredith up and down and her outfit. She knew Meredith had kept her ‘billionaire wardrobe’ at Brayden’s for whatever reason but was now suddenly wearing them. “I can’t wear them?” Meredith tried to feign ignorance to no avail. Taylor just gave her a look and Alyssa was still confused. “Isn’t Brayden your husband?” Alyssa asked, having never met him but heard stories. “I don’t understand. Do you have separate homes?” “Yes. Sort of.” Meredith responded and Taylor raised an eyebrow as the server dropped off more drinks. “We separated.” “What!” Alyssa gasped while Taylor casually picked up her drink and waited for Meredith to get to the part she was interested in; why Meredith was wearing clothes that were at Brayden’s. “We missed each other. He's moving in my place and we are working things out.” Meredith shrugged then began to sip her drink as well. She had gotten a lemonade so she wouldn’t have to worry about Clinton popping up and carrying he
My Death Contract Chapter 203: No Secrets
Brayden wanted to help Meredith get rid of her Christian problem. Meredith didn’t really want Brayden involved at all. If she had needed help she would have called Jacob but she wasn’t ready to go that route. In all actuality, Meredith was hoping Christian would get the clues and bold hints she had for him that she wasn’t interested.“If it gets too much for me to handle, I’ll let you know.” Meredith told Brayden over some twenty-three layer chocolate cake that she had picked up earlier. Brayden picked the dessert wine and as always Meredith was loving the combination and they accented one another.“I was worried you would say that. Meredith, I want to be with you. Hopefully that’s a little more obvious by me moving in but for this to work I think we are going to need some sort of structure.”
