"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
We were the least presentable couple there. My gown was crumpled from being bunched up for a long time while he had this just fucked hair. But I knew we were the happiest couple there. Once we got seated and the server took our orders he looked even more relaxed than before. I had a flash of fear that our happiness wouldn't last. I don't know where that thought came from. I had no negative thoughts for a long time. It almost caught me off guard. I straightened the paper napkins before me."Are you ok?", he asked me softly."Yes. Why?", I asked him confused."You tend to do this when you are nervous", he said noticing my hands. My OCD wasn't bad enough to get noticed but still, he could find it out easily. I had lived with him. But I always thought he wouldn't have noticed that in the little time we spent together. We got married and lived together for precisely one month. We got divorced it was heartbreaking but inevitable. The baby was the sole reason he wanted to marry me. I Should
"It is weird to even think of joining back since I had already resigned. They will think that I am a crazy woman who doesn't even know what I want", I said to Lisa.She was still on leave. My father would never allow her to take more leave but Matt had once again stepped in for her. She needed the leave desperately since she wanted to be with her mom. She is currently under the treatment of a miracle drug. She needed a lot of money which my father had paid. She was even under the contract to marry my father because my father thought that marrying a young woman could restore his investor's faith in him. But it was a very bad idea our stocks were now at an all-time low after the stunt my father pulled. They now consider him a cheap guy who still hasn't come to terms with his age. I would have sided with him if he had done it for love instead of some selfish motives."You will always be welcomed back. It was a matter of time. Even your father knows how important you are to the company",
