Chapter 162: Another Meeting

last update Last Updated: 2022-03-16 21:47:09

Meredith stood partially awakened from her stupor. She felt as though Brayden had blown softly and lifted the fog from around her momentarily, just long enough for her to see him. It was just enough for her to remember how much she missed him. 

Meredith’s heart began to ache as she rode the elevator down two floors. She didn’t have time to process what was going on with her internally. She took a deep breath as the elevator came to a stop and then she swallowed and walked through the doors after they opened up to the thirty-fifth floor, also known as Edward Maxwell’s floor.

From one brother to another, she thought with a hint of melancholy. She sighed and headed for the conference room. Henry was already there along with Karen who had not taken a lunch but spent her lunch hour preparing for the meeting and then arrived early to make up fo

    Meredith walked into her condo and went into her daily routine of changing her clothes. She sighed and changed into a pair of black skinny R13 jeans with cut off turned up hems. They fell just above her ankle with the turned up hem going just beyond mid calf.She pulled on a black Reformation cashmere sweater. The back had an eyelet design going from the mock neck down to just past halfway before opening up. It had long sleeves with a puff design.Meredith slipped her feet into a pair of black UGG house slippers the she made her way to Dino’s room. She needed to think and even though she had been in that room everyday for the past two weeks she had to figure some things out before talking to Brayden.Estrella found Meredith in the hallway headed towards Dino’s room and she hand her an envelope and then s

  • My Death Contract   Chapter 164: Collapse

    Brayden was watching his wife as she ate across from him at the dining table. He watched as she shook her head and seemed to be having an internal debate about something. He assumed her internal battle was regarding his confession early in the elevator.Brayden was correct. Meredith was having an internal battle with herself; a mini argument and a discussion, if you will. But Brayden hadn’t been correct in assuming what her inner dialogue was about.Meredith had been thinking about the recent strike of the elevator god, but at that moment she was thinking of the elevator god’s brother. She had decided if Brayden was the elevator god, Edward would be the charm god.She wasn’t sure what she was going to or how to bring it up to Brayden and thus she was having an internal chat about how to tell Brayde

  • My Death Contract   Chapter 165: The Date

    Meredith went to bed early. She laid in the dark room looking out the window at the city, not able to fall asleep. She had pulled up out of her collapse, or at least she knew she would be able to since her thoughts had been sorted. She just had to become content with the fact that she was in a cage and embrace it to the best of her abilities or go off the deep end. She knew if she kept trying to hold on for her freedom that she would inevitably lose her sanity. She didn’t know how long she had laid there in the dark room when she heard Brayden enter the room. He climbed in bed and lay silently. She waited to hear his breathing shift, telling her that he was asleep. It never shifted. Brayden laid in the dark room watching Meredith as she lay still facing away from him. Her silhouette was beautiful in the dar

    Meredith woke up snuggled under a large extremely comfy throw blanket. She blinked her eyes awake and took in a breath. As she let out the breath she noticed two things. She was alone in the room, and she could smell something amazing drifting into the room.It seemed like she had just eaten her amazing breakfast made for her by her husband moments ago. However she looked at the clock to see it was already after 5:00 p.m. Meredith pulled the blanket back and made quick work of folding it before leaving the room.She left the blanket on the shelf in the laundry room with the rest of the linens and followed her nose towards the delicious aroma. She could smell garlic and tomato and oregano. Meredith was curious and her belly was enticed as it rumbled in excitement and need.Meredith reached the kitchen to find B

  • My Death Contract   Chapter 167: She Wants More

    “There’s more,” Brayden had told Meredith. What more could there be. It wasn’t a special occasion. It was just Saturday. Meredith waited with bated breath. She had forgiven Brayden as soon as he told her what had happened.Meredith knew Brayden wasn’t lying to her when he said he thought Helena was her. Meredith couldn’t hold that against him because he was more than likely going to be harder on himself about it than she would. Mostly he would be hard on himself because he never slips up, she thought.Just because she had forgiven him didn’t mean it didn’t hurt that he had slept with another woman in their bed and didn’t recognize it wasn’t her. Brayden didn’t need to do all this to apologize for that.They weren’t in a real relationship. Whethe

    Meredith was getting dressed to go shopping with Brayden. He had prepared what she thought was the cutest date and it was the following morning he had more for her. Meredith thought she had everything she could possibly need, but Brayden apparently thought differently. Brayden had succumbed to Meredith’s pleading and had pleasured her in the shower, but she wasn’t satisfied. She wanted more. She decided to choose a provocative bra and panty set, hoping when they returned from their outing she could ignite his fire. She chose a black scalloped sheer lace I. D. Sarrieri bustier and matching panties. Both had sheer black mesh panels in the back and the panties had a cheeky briefs cut. She put on a pair of black ankle socks and pulled her favorite Nirvana t-shirt. Meredith tucked her shirt into a pair of high rise Ba

    It was 5:30 a.m. Monday morning. Brayden blinked open his eyes and took a deep breath that became a long yawn. He was still tired from not sleeping the night before, but his body always woke up at the same time every day no matter how much sleep he got.Brayden sat at the side of his bed in a pair of black boxer briefs looking like a god about to shoot the best underwear ad ever made. The alarm on his bedside table went off and he sighed deeply. It was time.He went into a shared dresser and pulled out a pair of Brooks carbonite reflective black socks and black tights with a bright neon yellow from his mid calf down. He put on a pair of Lululemon black running shorts and a long sleeve vented charcoal colored shirt.Over it he wore a Brooks reflective vest also with neon yellow trim. He tied up a pair of black

    “Can I come over, lol. I got kicked out.” Meredith read her text to Edward and shook her head, mortified as to what the ramifications of that one drunken text might be. “Sure, Luv. Cum anytime you want. Do you need me to pick you up?” Edward had responded and Meredith groaned then followed said groan with a deep sigh. “Sorry about last night I was a little drunk.” Meredith messaged Edward after a moment. “Sorry about last night, Bub. Give Dino kisses for me.” Meredith hit sent before realizing that she had called Brayden, Bub. She smacked her palm to her forehead and did a double groan one in actual pain from her hangover. “You can drunk text me whenever you want, Luv. Did my brother really kick such a lovely woman out?” Edward was quick to respond. Meredith wasn’t s

    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. Brayden was talking to a well known architect and promising to stop by and take a look at his home designs.“I see you two made it okay,” Dave Baxton greeted he chuckled watching Mere

    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

    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

    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.”
