All Chapters of My Death Contract: Chapter 161 - Chapter 170

"I slept with Helena…" the words that Brayden had said the night before echoed in Meredith's head all morning. She was in a fog and subconsciously wore all black. She sat at her desk at work wearing a Tom Ford body-con ribbed knit dress. It was black with long sleeves and a zipper down the sternum. The dress landed just below the knee. She wore her black Prada slingback mules and had her Bottega Veneta black leather tote with large woven leather panels.She was zoned out in a rhythm, knocking out project after project and working on whatever Karen gave her for the project that Karen led. She was glad she went to lunch and listened to Taylor chatter on and on about how she missed Hawaii and the kiss that should have been hers.Meredith would give anything to have let Taylor have it instead. She didn't want Edward to kiss her. She didn't ask for it. Taylor actually had asked. Meredith knew if she looked glum Taylor would ask what was wrong and why.

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

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

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

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
