All Chapters of My Death Contract: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Meredith had gotten through the rest of the day by simply ignoring everyone around her and focusing on her work. Since she had won the bid for Edward Maxwell’s project and brought on a large luxury car company she was very busy expanding the ad campaign to include all aspects of the business. There was a lot of work to do between her and Karen. Mr. Hubert had also added on another designer to help them out and was looking to add a second intern. She wanted to continue for a few more hours but she wrapped up her work for the day. It was almost 5 p.m. Meredith usually stayed later but Brayden would be waiting for her. She would have to take him up on that offer to get some things to work from home. Her laptop at home didn’t have enough memory to handle the designs she worked on. She usually worked on brainstorming and ideas from home, not the actual projects. But if she was going to be leav

Meredith woke up the next morning alone in the large luxurious bed. She had taken a shower the night before hoping to shorten her morning routine. Also she was trying to wash away her worries and her fears regarding her heart possibly shattering again. She knew she had to steel her heart and just remind herself that she was living in a world of make-believe. She was playing house with a billionaire.  She did think it was a good idea if they could get along well enough and maybe enjoy each other's company to an extent. She hated the idea of living her whole life with some guy she couldn’t stand. She knew he wasn’t all bad but it was hard to figure out what was real and what was pretend. Meredith rolled out of bed and padded to the dresser in another amazingly comfy pajama short set. She was finally starting to sleep better, which could be attributed to th

Meredith headed to the elevator with Taylor bouncing behind her still giddy with excitement. They got on the elevator together and Meredith glanced over at Taylor, who looked up at her with a large grin.“Really?” Meredith rolled her eyes.“I know you don’t like the attention but I’m loving it.” Taylor beamed.Meredith just sighed and rode the rest of the way to Taylor’s floor in silence. “I’ll see you tomorrow.” Meredith said her goodbye as Taylor got off the elevator.“Yep tomorrow.” Taylor still had that silly grin from ear to ear and Meredith was glad someone was getting enjoyment out of her marriage. She tried to remain invisible in the back of

The rest of Meredith’s work day went pretty much as she had expected. More stares, more whispers and all lot of effort on her part to zone it all out so she could focus on her project. She found herself to be rather disappointed that Edward Maxwell didn’t give her any feedback on the project she was working on for him. He could have at least spent a moment of that ridiculous meeting to look at the portfolio. Mr. Hubert had immediately asked her how the meeting went when she returned and she just told him things were moving in the right direction, whatever that meant. She wasn’t sure what to tell him since the project wasn’t discussed. She was being interrogated as Brayden’s wife and under suspicion of being a fake. Edward was a smart man and it wasn’t going to be easy to convince him that she and Brayden were real

Meredith picked Dino up and set him on the loveseat. She got up and left Dino in his room behind as she followed Brayden to the Corner where they usually ate dinner. Estrella had made them another delicious dinner and set out instructions to heat and serve. It was Chicken enchiladas with red rice and chili black beans. The smell was amazing and Meredith’s mind went blank and all the things she had been working on emptied her mind and she was left with drooling thoughts of the delicious food before her. Meredith immediately dug into her meal without even looking up at Brayden. She had a one track mind; enchiladas. She forked in a nice size bite of enchilada into her mouth and nearly burnt the roof of her mouth. She pulled the food out before too much damage was done, blew on it a bit then tried again. On the second try she sighed and her shoulders slid down and back as she fully enjoyed to flavo
