pp. 839 Meredith Bancroft threw caution into the air the night she was in the arms of Matthew Farrell, a magnetic, forbidden man her very own father had looked down on. She was just eighteen and a virgin, Matthew had been shocked and honoured. Trying to make her first experience with passion an unforgettable one, he had unwittingly made himself a father. It presented a dent in his career plans involving South America but he did not want to lose Meredith or their unborn child. He had to rely on the strength of their young love, however fragile. Meredith went into labour prematurely after he left to prepare for her arrival. Hemorrhaging so much, not only was the baby lost, her life was at risk. Distraught, she had written to him about her condition but waited in vain for his visit. Finally, shocked, she had received a telegraph from him asking for a divorce. Emotionally spent and physically battered, Meredith had moved on but the wound in her heart was irreparable. Years later, the pair discovered their divorce was illegal and Meredith was already engaged to Parker, a banker. Matthew had become a successful millionaire but was adamant to cooperate. Matthew had wanted revenge on the faithless Meredith and her hateful father. He had waited for Meredith to join him in South America but after months, he received only her rejection and the intense gnaw of pain in his gut-she had aborted their baby. Both Meredith and Matthew had yet to know the deceptive manoeuvre Mr Bancroft had made to keep the two apart. Deep inside, they both knew they would never love another like they do each other. Being enemies in the business arena, they had to overcome the hurdle of hatred, family deceptions and misunderstandings. | ||
