I speed walked to my home. I just got back from LA. But Matt didn't follow me here. He thought they should be left alone. My father and Lisa to their own choices. The hell I would they can't be trusted to make a wise choice if they were to be left alone. I was greeted by Mrs Singh. I always thought they would be a good pair. She was good for him. She was loving and kind. I didn't mean Lisa was not good she is my best friend. But my father is not the guy for her. She was warm and full of life. But my father was a cold son of bitch. I'm not even factoring in the age. How could they make such wrong choices?"Father", I greeted him. He looked not much different than before. He gave me a casual look like he would give one of the strangers in the passing. I knew he had no love for me and had made peace with it. But he can't take away Lisa from me as well. He would destroy her. I can't let him do that. She will hate me too for not stopping her. But she didn't know that now."When did you get
I stood on Lisa's porch uncertainly. Matt had warned me that whatever I was doing was not going to work but how could I ignore my best friend making the worst mistake of her life? So here I am willing to risk my father's wrath. I will try my level best to change her heart. I know I could do this. Lisa I know and care would never ignore me. There must be something that is eating her. Maybe she thought that being a wife could bring her happiness but I will assure her that being the wife of Sébastien Whitlock is the worst sort of punishment. I wouldn't wish it to my worst enemy let alone my best friend.I knocked on the door and Lisa opened it. She looked a little surprised to see me."You came?", she asked me."I had to Lisa. What happened?", I asked her."I'm getting married", she said in a clipped voice."I read it in a newspaper. I thought that I should congratulate you", I said."Are you here to judge me?", she asked me."Why would I do that?", I asked him."Because you better not Me
"I need money Mer but you can't afford it. I can't ask you to beg money from Matt for me. You are already in a tough position with him. I didn't want to make it any worse. I asked your father. He said that he will give me whatever I demand but I must marry him", she said her head hung low."How is your mother?", I asked her."Not good. This experiment drug is her last shot at life", she said."Oh god!", I said."I was so helpless initially but then I decided that I should do something first. I can't let others make things happen for me", she said."How much is this drug?", I asked her."I have already paid for it with your father's money", she said."I can make my father change his mind", I said."No, you will only end up making him more and more angry. I have made my decision Mer", she said to me."Fine", I said.“Can you be there for me? ", she asked me." What?", I asked her." As my best friend ", she said." I don't know Lisa. I would hate to see you bind yourself in a loveless ma
I got the dress that Lisa sent for me. She wanted me to be there. Initially, I thought of not going but then decided against it. I can't not go. My best friend had asked me for a single thing that is to be her bride's maid. I have to be there. Matt will come back today I don't know when. But I won't be here waiting for him. I was going to attend the marriage. I was still in shock but I had somehow managed to work out my body enough to wear the dress and put on some minimal makeup. It was a beautiful dress. It wasn't hideous like the few I had normally seen. She had excellent choices in dress and men but somehow ended up with my father.When I reached Lisa's home. She was alone. I was surprised to see that there wasn't anyone there to be with her. I was grateful to myself for deciding to come. I hated to see her sad and lonely at her wedding. Maybe they will find a way to get through this wedding like I found. It wasn't easy but it wasn't impossible too.We were dressed and we were abo
"How?", I asked in disbelief."You didn't want your best friend to be tied down with your father. I made it happen", he said with a smirk."You talked to him?", I asked him bewildered."Honey I don't just talk. I do it and your father has more sense than crossing me", he said."Woah! You already have a pretty big head so I won't make it further big by complementing you", I said with a smirk."Don't think that I won't ask you for a repayment later", he said with a sly smile."What repayment?", I asked him with a teasing smile."That is up to you. I saved your best friend like you wanted", he said mischievously."Ok. How about I give your head a proper massage?", I asked him."I would prefer massage but in a different place", he said making me blush."I heard that. I want to thank you for everything Matt", said Lisa."You don't have to thank me. Just make wise choices with your life", said Matt with a shrug."You drove us here knowing there wasn't a wedding mister. So I will deduct a fe
Nothing happened last night he just held me. I felt tears rush in my eyes. It felt so good to be held by him. I missed him all these years. The days he left I was left with nothing but hatred and curses from my dear father. I let myself go this time. I didn't hold anything back. When I woke up in the morning he was still there. I smiled and kissed him on his mouth."What is your plan for today?", he asked me."Nothing I have a resignation letter to write", I told him."Babe you don't have to do anything that you don't want. That company is yours if you want it", he said."I don't want that company. I wanted to help my father but I think he didn't need my help anymore. He had asked me to step down as CEO but I wouldn't have minded it if he hadn't hurt me like that", I told him."You are too good for him. He doesn't deserve a daughter like you", said him."I don't know about that. The last five years had been hazy. I didn't feel anything at all. Now it is coming back to me", I said."Do
"I was a silly girl back then. I couldn't take the fact that Parker was with someone else even after my weight loss. I almost confessed my love to him. But Matt stopped me from doing so. He knew Parker was engaged. I had seen him before and at that time I saw him for himself. I made him a deal to take me away from there. When I reached my home I didn't want to let go of him. I invited Matt in. We slept together. He thought I was experienced. It was my first time. I got pregnant. When my father knew he was furious. He wanted me to abort my child. I left home in search of Matt. I found him. He was working in a garage but he never blamed me. He said that he would take responsibility and marry me.We got married right away. He had plans. He was working on a project with an industrialist in South Africa. He had promised to leave with the team to Africa as a partner. I couldn't travel he decided to not go. But my father came and asked me to return home. He still didn't approve of Matt but h
I got dressed in a black gown which was long but left my shoulders bare. He whistled when he saw me. I had to laugh I'm being catcalled by a billionaire. He placed a chaste kiss on my cheeks."That is all I'm going to get after putting this much effort?", I teased him."I would love to prove you how wrong you are but then we will miss the dinner", he said. I chuckled. I have missed this carefree Matt. I love him. This is the guy I fell for that night when I saw him for the first time. We were driving away for the night. He rarely puts on any music while I'm in the car with him. We use the time to talk and catch up. It felt so good to be with him without any care in the world. There is no work pressure claiming my thoughts."You look happy", he observed. He missed nothing. I just smiled at him."I know going out with me has only a small contribution to it", he said. I watched his hands controlling the steering wheel. Is it just me or was there something special about man's hands doing w
