Chapter 87: Brothers
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Meredith had just sat down with Taylor about to slurp away at her soup when her phone dinged at her. In fact it ding-donged at her. Meredith rolled her eyes at the alert tone and looked down to see a text from her One and Only Husband, Brayden Charles Maxwell. She rolled her eyes again at his name in her phone. He had obviously been playing around this morning.
Meredith opened the text to read it.
"Looking forward to it as well…" She saw as the "..." bubble showed Brayden was sending another ding dong and message. And soon an emoji blowing heart kisses popped up. Meredith smiled and nearly chuckled to herself . She knew Brayden couldn't wait to see how his brother's meeting went in his office with his wife as he watched.
"Speak of the devil," Taylor said after swallowing a large bite of her chicken salad sandwich.
"Hmmm?" Meredith looked up unclear as to what her best friend was talking about.
"The wedding bells sound. Your face," Tayl

Edward had never imagined that Meredith would have the job completed so quickly. She really was more than just his brother’s wife. He had known that her designs and ideas were top notch in the first meeting when she presented her department's designs. But he didn’t realize how hard working she really was to be able to crunch such quality so quickly.Meredith set Edward’s drink on the side table near where he was seated on the spade and then she took her seat again and began to sip a bottle of chilled Fiji water. She glanced at her very expensive and over the top watch and saw that it was three minutes til closing time.“What do you think?” Meredith finally asked. Edward had looked at all the pieces and was examining the notes in amazement that each bullet point he had given had been addressed in such a short time. “Shou

**Author's Note: This is a short bonus chapter to thank your wonderful readers for your support. Keep encouraging me and I hope to present more informantion soon. (^,^) ** Meredith wasn’t sure what to think of Brayden. He had been topsy turvy since she had met him. One moment he seemed cold and emotionless the next he seemed to be putting on a show. And then there were the times when noe one was around and he came at her way too strong for the strangers that they were. She understood that he needed to make her feel as comfortable as possible. She was no actress. She assumed he was trying to get her comfortable with public displays of affection and with him as her husband in general. But then there were the times such as when he told her no one is allowed to see her in so much as a bikini. Although
My Death Contract Chapter 90: Another World
Meredith blinked at the woman before her. She understood that this woman was something of a legend and had made something of herself among the who’s who of society. Meredith didn’t know what a Madam Z was but with the way things had been going since Brayden and Meredith had entered the brownstone it was rather obvious that when Madam Z said to do something, you did it. “Ummm…” Meredith began and noticed that Madam Z had completely turned from her and was talking to Brayden about how his health was and treating him like an aunt might treat a cherished nephew. Meredith sighed and began to undress. She wasn’t sure where to put the things she took off but as soon as she began to look around for somewhere to put her things the girl from before appeared and took each piece of clothing from Meredith and hung it neatly or folded it into a lined square basket.
My Death Contract Chapter 91: Anticipation
Meredith woke up the next morning and blinked a few times before sitting up. As usual, Brayden was gone. He most likely was working out. Meredith yawned then pulled back the covers to get up and noticed that she was wearing Brayden’s shorts and t-shirt.She stared at her sleep attire in confusion. She would have never worn that to bed. Well, maybe the t-shirt. Meredith liked the soft cool feeling of the sheets against her skin and wouldn’t have worn Brayden’s oversized shorts to bed.As she thought more about it she didn’t remember going to bed. She remembered her long dress up session. Brayden drove them home afterwards and Meredith could recall him parking the car in the garage and they waited shortly for the elevator.Meredith thought about it further and for the life of her she couldn&rsq
My Death Contract Chapter 92: Rocky Start
Meredith was in the back seat alone as Sean drove her to the doctor’s office. She wasn’t sure what kind of doctor it was. She didn’t really know the difference between a psychiatrist and a psychologist or even if a therapist was different. Then there were counselors and life mentors and all kinds of different names. Meredith did understand client privileges and confidentiality was one of them.She knew that Brayden was particularly excited about that benefit. What she really wanted to talk to the therapist, doctor, whatever was the obvious attraction she had to Brayden and vice versa. She was hoping the doctor could help her figure something out. A way that wouldn’t break her heart but also wouldn’t make her feel like a little kid locked in a candy store every night and told not to touch anything. While Brayden di
My Death Contract Chapter 93: Iceberg
“I’d compare it to the iceberg that sunk the titanic.” Meredith mumbled. She definitely didn’t see her and Brayden’s relationship as rocky but titanic level trouble just floating in the water waiting to since her boat of a heart.“The idea of no bills for five years and that he threw in annual vacations at no expense spared it just seemed like it could be a great way to go. All I had to do was pretend to be married to a super hot guy. Possibly the hottest guy ever created. Also he threatened to blacklist my career if I didn’t. Hot or not, he was not a prince charming.His father changed the terms to extend not only beyond five years but the terms were put into his will as well. Five years became life and not only was my career blacklisted but Brayden dug up info on my parents that they were losing everything due to a gambling addiction.I had planned to turn it down and may things work out even without my career but with
My Death Contract Chapter 94: Eve
Meredith woke up early and decided to go to the gym. The shrink had suggested some kind of frequent outlet to keep Meredith grounded. She had been pretty into water sports until her break up with Chad and since then she hadn’t done much of anything except mope. If moping was a sport then she would have been an olympic athlete. She had never been to the gym. Brayden was gone either in the gym or running. She wasn’t sure where so she asked the front desk guy in the lobby of her condo building. The desk clerk helped her and told her where it was located and how to get in. Meredith found it with no problem and entered the gym for the first time. There was no one in the gym. She found that odd in such a large building but it was Christmas Eve so it wasn’t entirely unusual. Meredith started up the treadmill as she set

Meredith didn’t look at him or even acknowledge that he had said anything at all. She was ready for the night. She had ran for hours earlier that morning and although her muscles were starting to scream a bit at her despite her post stretches and recovery drink, she was ready.Brayden’s claim would make her job easier. If he was so possessive it showed that he was into her enough to actually possibly marry her for love. If not love, infatuation at the least. Convincing the employees of Maxwell 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
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
My Death Contract Chapter 208: Advantage
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
My Death Contract Chapter 206: Cold
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.”
