Ceo's Reclaimed Wife 21 The bargain
My dad was finally home and I decided to check on him. I too was recuperating from my recent anxiety attack. But I knew I couldn't wait long sitting at home. I needed to be in my office to get things done. Parker couldn't lend me money as I hoped. He wanted me to provide details of another bid. I don't think I want to do it anymore. This wasn't me. This lying was killing me. I want to win but the right way. I feel a lot better I gave Parker a fair ground for competing with Matt the next time. I thought I hated Matt but in reality, I was the one who was a mess. I should take control of my life before Matt or my father crushes it.Matt had left for office and I got ready. I saw that my bodyguard was already waiting for me. I wondered how swiftly he arrived here. He probably lives around here. Maybe he lives in the same house who knows? It is already big enough with multiple entrances.When I gave him directions for home. He was relieved. He probably thought that I was going back to my o
Ceo's Reclaimed Wife 22 At work
I had always been a worrier and being back at the office as the CEO hadn't changed that. I was nervous as hell when I walked into a board meeting. The senior member Carlos is a sweetheart and probably the only guy who will back me up. I can't even say that about my father. I made the changes that I had decided in my mind already. Lisa gave me a look when she saw my first order as CEO. I gave her a wink in return and she laughed. I knew there would be hell to pay at the board meeting."What do you think you are doing Meredith?", asked Daniel another senior member and the only guy who hates my guts. He thinks that woman shouldn't be allowed outside their home. He is old school but he sat in an important position so he should have let go of his backward thoughts a long time ago. But he isn't able to and that was a big problem for me and every woman in the office."I hope my father informed you that he made me CEO for the next six months", I said."He had informed us of the same but that
Ceo's Reclaimed Wife 23 Fear
We had a quick dinner each of us wanting to finish it up as soon as possible. We walked together to the bedroom which had been now used by me alone. He didn't come to sleep in here after I was hospitalised. I stood routed to the door unable to move further inside. He was closely behind and sensed my hesitation but he wasn't angry at me or anything."Still not sure?", he asked me. I could see him searching through my eyes as if to look for answers. I didn't seem to have any and it left him dissatisfied. He thought I would be eager to go to bed with him after our actions in the living room where anybody could have caught us easily but in the privacy of my bedroom, it seemed I was afraid of something though I didn't know what."I'm sorry", I said not knowing what to say."Tell me what is it? You know now that I'm not going to take away your company or take revenge on you", he said."It is not that. I'm afraid to rekindle our connection. I'm scared to go through everything once again it w
Ceo's Reclaimed Wife 24 Complications
I had managed to take a small break from work and went to meet Parker through the back door of my office. I knew I shouldn't continue doing this since it was a kind of betrayal especially when my husband had hired me a bodyguard. It would be a huge insult to them both. I didn't want to do anything that I would regret in the future. Once I was seated in the restaurant I felt uneasy I didn't know why but I felt something was going wrong. He made me wait a little bit and I was very annoyed at him for that. I won't be going to meet him after this time no matter what happens. Even if my husband doesn't honour his words and take back my company I will find a way to repay him and claim it back."You are late", I said to him."Sorry Babe the traffic was very bad", he said regretfully."What do you want to talk to me about?" I asked him."Our future Babe. I wanted to tell you how much I miss you. I was wondering why you are putting distance between us?", he said regretfully."I'm not putting a
Ceo's Reclaimed Wife 25 Explanation
He hadn't been home it had been past midnight. I had already asked Mrs Morgan she said she had no idea where he was. Thankfully she wasn't very keen on reading gossip or checking social media so she doesn't know much about what happened. So I didn't push her for further information. I didn't know why I was feeling so uneasy. It wasn't like I was cheating on Matt. Yes, I did something but I didn't know at that time the damage of what I was doing. I only thought of helping Parker but then I got to know how Parker had taken more than he had claimed. I was shocked and didn't expect him to take advantage of me like that.I have made a huge mistake and maybe I owe more money to Matt than before. I'm willing to pay all the damages I have caused. I only wished he listened to what I said but considering the situation it was very unlikely. But I wasn't one of those who accepted defeat easily. I wanted to tell him the truth and take my punishment. But I won't allow him to tuck me away unheard an
Ceo's Reclaimed Wife 26 Demand
I left his room heavy-hearted. I shouldn't feel bad about this because it was somewhat expected of me. The bitterness remains between us no matter how much we try to forget the past. I went to my bedroom to sleep and took my medicines. My sleep schedule was now getting late because of personal issues as well as the medication I was taking. On the morning I managed to wake up a little early and went down to get my breakfast. I saw him sitting with a newspaper on the dining table. He was always like that even when he was poor. He would read all the news and still manage to smile at me. I would hang into those smiles like a possessed woman.I decided to sit on the table unseen but he lifted his eyes from the paper. He held my gaze and I felt a shiver running down my spine. I wasn't afraid or threatened in any way but still, he could shake up my confidence with a glance. I was relieved when he withdrew his eyes to the paper. I managed to eat my breakfast too fast to avoid this awkwardness

"My answer is no", I said trying to him."May I ask why?", he asked irritated."I have many reasons. I can't just do it without emotions. I can't Matt and I won't", I said with finality."Stop making up excuses Meredith you don't want me. Put it out there plain and simple", he said with a shrug."I'm not making excuses. I can't sleep with a person who hates my guts", I said."I don't hate you", he said. I could sense some honesty in him."I think we should end this conversation here and now", I said rising from my chair."This conversation is far from over", he said surprising me."Why?", I asked him suspiciously."Because I'm a good businessman and a good negotiator", he said with a mischievous smile."You are forgetting I'm one too", he said."I know", he said still not backing off."Goodbye Matt. I'm going to leave now", I said to him.I quickly went away from him. He was like this huge wave. He pushes you inside before you can act.When I reached my office my confidence was furthe

"First of all, I'm sorry that my business is getting affected by my personal life. However, I have no control over what the paparazzi and media write about me. I haven't cheated on Matt with Parker and Matt knows this. This is very painful for me, to give pieces of information about my private life. This will be the last time I will be doing this", I said with confidence."It is only fair", said Carlos."Now that we have dealt with that let us move on to the important business", I said with a sigh.The meeting switched to our profitability ratios and I further scrapped many projects despite the protest from the board. I had to do it before they engulf the profits from the other projects."I want new project proposals from all the board members. We should initiate these things rather than letting others do it for us and then reject it", I said."But we are board members", said David with annoyance."But that doesn't make us above all. We are still the employees of our company", said C
