Author's pov Merit looked at herself in the mirror again and smiled. The few minutes looking at her herself in the mirror was enough for her to make up her mind on what to do. “If Adrian doesn't like me, I can't force him to do that. I have done what I think I needed to do so that he can know that I am available for him. Now that he deliberately ignored me, I will do what will make him very jealous and I will deliberately…” she immediately paused her thoughts when her phone started ringing. She turned and took her phone, and it was Adrian's mom who was calling. “Hello Mrs Morgan. Good morning…” “Good morning Merit! How are things going between you and my son? I spoke to him some minutes ago and he said it was so lovely. What does he mean by so lovely? Has he slept with you and you didn't tell me?” “What stops me from telling you? He should have told you how he had ignored me. Coming here is a waste of time. I have better things to do, but I abandoned them because of what yo
Amber’s pov The moment I opened the door and came inside the hospital room, I saw how Mrs Morgan withdrew the phone from her ear. Her facial expressions and the swift movement of her hand as she removed the phone from her ear was very obvious. My steps from the door to where she was standing close to her husband who was on the bed were about eight seconds. Why was she so surprised? Or did I startle her? The truth was, I forgot my phone and I needed to come back and collect it. But due to our sudden close relationship she has created, I was so free to ask her, especially since she had told me that my boyfriend was preparing a surprise package for me in the form of an engagement ring. “Am I missing something?” I asked with a very friendly smile. I placed both my hands on my waist and stared at her. I could see that she wasn’t settled at all. What she cared about was to end the call and her phone almost fell from her hands. “Is that my only Adrian?” I asked again. When she had end
Amber’s pov Adrian held my both hands and he looked into my eyes with a very strong feeling of jealousy. I could see the extent to which he loved me from the way he held and was looking at me. “He came from nowhere…” Adrian planted a kiss on my lips and placed his hands on my waist. I closed my eyes and this was something I have been missing. We haven't had sex for long and this was because of his dad's illness. When he pulled his lips away from me, I quickly said, “I’m not yet satisfied.” At that moment, I forgot the message his mom sent me. “Where and how did you want it?” And by this time, Adrian was holding only my right hand. Dave was nowhere to be found. The corners of my eyes couldn’t see him and the sound of the car when Adrian was kissing me indicated he was the one driving his car away. “On our usual bed in your house.” There was something in me that constantly wanted us to go to his house. “My house? I thought my mom asked you to do something for her? Let’s g
Author's pov When Adrian came out of the hospital room with his mom, his mom was still holding his hand and they walked away from the door. “Mom, where are we going?” He asked as they were still distancing themselves from the door of the room. When his mom felt they were very far and were close to the exit door of one of the doors of the hospital, she stopped. Adrian's eyes were already impatient to hear what his mom wanted to tell him. “Merit will be leaving later today. Please, help me to carry her to her place. Her car may disappoint me again.” When she mentioned that Merit was leaving, it immediately canceled Adrian's plan. His plan was to tell his mom that Amber will be spending the night at her place, seeing Merit might cause suspicion. “Since Merit will be leaving today, there is no need to tell her,” Adrian thought. “Do you have any issue with that?” She tapped Adrian's hand. “No, no.” He replied promptly. “Hmm…” she hummed like someone who was struggling to
Author's pov Adrian kept looking at Merit with the intention of joining her in the swimming pool. The more he tried to fight against that thought the more Merit deliberately shook her breasts and invited him into the pool. “What are you waiting for? The water needs the both of us to have fun in it,” Merit said. “She looked so attractive. Why am I not having this feeling before this moment?” As he struggled, he heard Merit’s voice again. “Adrian, wouldn’t you have fun? I’m all yours,” she playfully hit the surface of the water with her hands and laughed. Adrian smiled at her and gradually Merit swam close to the edge of the pool where Adrian was standing and sat at the edge close to the stool. “Please, can you unhook my bra, it’s making me uncomfortable.” Merit said. The urge became very strong and he bent down and helped her to remove her bra. This was when Merit deliberately held his hand and wanted to pull him into the pool. But Adrian held himself and it was only Merit
Author's pov When Amber and Mrs Morgan were in the hospital room with her husband, she received those pictures from Merit. Mr Morgan was awake at the time, and he had managed to sit at the edge of the bed answering a phone call from one of his friends. Mrs Morgan didn't want to involve her husband on the well organized plot that she has done. Perhaps, her husband's remark might not give what she wanted Amber to perceive. “Come Amber,” she held her right hand and pulled her up hurriedly. Her husband only looked at them and continued what he was doing. He had no clue of what his wife had planned and he never thought otherwise. When they got out of the room, she held Amber's hand and said, “Amber, I called you here for very vital information. I have taken you as my future son's wife, but what my son is doing right now at his house is not what I was expecting.” “What is he doing?” She asked with no panic yet and she added, “I will be going to his house tomorrow.” “That decisi
Author’s pov Mrs Williams was inside the house, sitting on the couch closer to the television. It was late noon and there was an empty bottle of wine close to her feet. She looked very sober and her eyes were almost closing. She rested the back of her head against the headrest when she heard the sound of a car entering her compound. “Is that Jasper?” She thought. From where she was sitting, she stretched her body and saw that it was her daughter, Merit. She relaxed herself again and waited for her to come inside. Mrs Willaims couldn’t tell why it took her daughter an unusual length of seconds for her to come out of the car and enter the sitting room. Despite the delay, her mum didn’t try to look outside again, but her eyes were focused on the entrance door. “Where are you coming from?” Mrs Williams thundered. The way she sounded startled her daughter and she stood still for a while and their eyes were on each other. “I said where are you coming from?” She asked again. “From
Amber's pov It was like a bad dream inside a good dream. Some people have experienced it, having a dream inside another dream. Becoming Adrian's girlfriend and being accepted by his aggressive mum was like a good dream. I was shocked to see how nice she was to me at the hospital. We were so close that she couldn't keep to herself what she had discussed with her son. She had been our biggest obstacle. She was so difficult to deal with at first to the point that Adrian doesn't want her to be around him. Maybe it was the persistence that Adrian showed that helped her to reevaluate our relationship. She became the secret mind of Adrian, the first to hint to me of Adrian's engagement plan. Our communication was the initial reason I didn't think otherwise when I sensed Adrian, always trying to prevent me from coming to his house. I kept expecting the surprise, but it was taking eternity. At one point, I felt in my mind that I wanted to go to his house. Later, I started having thoughts
