Merit’s pov

Today marks the third day of my stay at Adrian’s house, yet the attention I anticipated has eluded me. Despite my attempts to catch his eye by revealing more of myself, his responses have been lukewarm. Each time he catches a glimpse, all I receive is,

“Oh, I am sorry, I didn’t know you were dressing up,” before he quickly exits. Does he have any feelings for me at all? His actions don't show it. No sweet words, no hint of emotional care. What should I do?

I sat on my bed that morning after a shower, wrapped in just a towel, feeling his absence keenly. Despite his lack of physical contact, my infatuation with him grows. This infatuation soared when his mother hinted that he fancies me. He is undeniably handsome. Yesterday, I made sure we took a photo together, a picture I now gaze at and kiss before sleep.

As a new day dawns, I yearn to accompany him wherever he goes. Tired of his early departures and late returns, I ponder how to join him without raising suspicio

    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

  • Learning To Love Again With My Boss   Where have you been?

    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

  • Learning To Love Again With My Boss   Don't call me again

    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

    The hall was thick with tension as Mrs Morgan’s voice shook, her emotions barely in check. She stared at Adrian, her face full of confusion and frustration.“What kind of confession is this, on your wedding day? People are waiting!” Her voice was sharp, but beneath the anger was fear—fear of what was coming next.Adrian’s expression was cold and unyielding. He didn’t react as the guests whispered, casting curious and judgemental glances."Amber and I... we’re not blood-related." His voice cut through the murmurs, and the crowd instantly fell silent. He turned to his mother, the woman he had always trusted. "Who did you sleep with to have me?"Gasps rippled through the hall, and Mrs Morgan’s face turned pale as if all life had left her."Me?" She laughed, but it was hollow, full of disbelief. "You’re mad, Adrian! Is this your twisted confession?"Before she could continue, Adrian handed her an envelope, his fingers trembling slightly. "This is the DNA test. I ran it several times."Her

    Amber's pov Did Adrian just say in his last statement that he will be spending a night with me here alone at the hotel? What does he want? He has so much emotion for me. Can't he control it? Despite suppressing my emotions for him, I still love him. I was still holding my phone when it rang again and it was Adrian. “Hello…” I said. “I'm still waiting for your address. I kept my promise. What are you waiting for? I'm ready to enter my car and drive out of the house. At this point, I was having one question in mind to ask him, but my tongue was too heavy to say it. “Are you coming here to…?” I stopped and thankfully he knew what I meant and he started laughing. “Your voice turned me on. It's not a matter of coming there or holding your precious fingers. I have something to tell you. We need to talk. I miss you and I want to have a nice time with my sister. Whatever angle you want it to be, I will be. But there is something I will never do, I will never force you against

    Author’s pov Two white cars suddenly stopped in front of Amber’s grandma’s house and it was in the evening. The doors of the car at the back opened and Mrs Morgan and her friend, Merit’s mom came out of the car after the guards had opened the doors for them. They walked majestical towards the front door and one of the men guarding them knocked on the door. The first person that came out to open the door was a lady, one of those ladies that assisted Amber’s grandma. “Are you related to Amber?” Mrs Morgan asked with a cruel voice, putting great fear into the young lady. “No, I am here to do some housekeeping.” “Where is Amber’s grandma?” This time, it was Nora that asked this question. “She is inside,” she slightly trembled and went inside. They stood at the door post and when Amber’s grandma came out, her age demanded respect and in turn, she welcomed them by saying, “What are my guests doing at the mouth of the door? Please come inside.”Nora wanted to reject the offer of

    Amber's pov Adrian walked up to me while I was in the room. Then he said, “I just received a call from the laboratory and they have informed me that the result is out.” My heart raced as we both stood at the edge of uncertainty. We neither know if it will be positive or negative. The laboratory center we went to was one of the sophisticated centers in the country. They were equipped with modern technologies. So, any test that was done there was often done with different testing techniques. “Will you inform your dad?” I asked as my voice started to crack out of tension. I felt more panicked than anything I have had in my entire life. It drew a line of separation between Adrian and I. I love Adrian and nothing apart from blood related could stop us from being together. “Get dressed, we need to go and collect the result.” Adrian said and kissed my forehead. I went to my wardrobe and by this time, I had already taken my bath. What will I wear? Does this occasion require speci

    Author's pov “Flora, when are you going to inform Dora about your new plan?” Nora asked. They were outside, under a well spread white umbrella at Nora's house. “I will tell her once my son gives me a meaningful answer. Since I told her about my plan, he said he would get back to me. I love Dora and I want her to be part of my family.” Nora took a sip from her glass of blue wine and after she carefully placed the cup on the table, he said, “Your husband's infidelity has become a blessing in disguise. If your husband hasn't cheated on you, you wouldn't be able to achieve or say what you are demanding.” Flora shrugged and sighed. “He disappointed me. I could swear that he can't do something like that. If I had listened to my thoughts, I would have found out before now. I saw their closeness and I wondered what was happening. My husband Mut had known that Amber was his daughter. I am thinking he knew about it when he was sick at the hospital.” “Flora, that reminds me, what

    Amber's pov When I held the lab report in my hands and carefully read the result word for word, I was astounded to see that Mr Morgan is my biological father. How come? Is there anything my grandma is hiding from me or my late mom is hiding from me? I didn't know what to think about? This information has thrown me upside down. I didn't know where to place my thoughts. If my grandma knew about it, why had she not told me all this while? Does that mean that Adrian is my half-brother? I came down from the cab and walked into the house and I felt like an ordinary paper that the wind could blow off. “Grandma,” I paused as I saw her picking up her phone call. I was so deep in thought that I didn't pay attention to my grandma's conversation over the phone. “Amber!” She called and I turned my eyes towards her. “Why are you looking at me like this? Has…” “Grandma, do you really know my dad?” “Your dad? You mean your late date?” She asked. “Yes. What about my mom? Do you

    Author's pov “Why did you lie to me that I will leave here today?” Mrs Morgan said angrily and it was only her friend that was in her room. She had been hostile with her words, and even more angry when she saw Amber. “That was what the doctor said initially.” Then the ringing of Mrs Morgan's phone stopped her friend from speaking. “Your husband is calling you.” “I can't speak to someone that I'm angry at.” Flora said to her friend. “We only have one night to stay at the hospital. It's for your own good. At home in Mr Morgan's house, he was very worried. He had been calling his wife, but she had refused to pick up her call. Mr Morgan was first in his new room downstairs. He had been told by the doctors not to stress himself. So climbing the stairs was seen as stress. He walked out of his room and came to his private sitting room. The first time his eyes saw was the wall clock. “It's about 7pm and my wife has refused to pick up my call. Is there something that everyone is

    Author's pov When the lab scientist said, “congratulations…” Mrs Morgan's heart raced as she didn't know why he was congratulating her. Does he know why she came to do the paternity test initially? He doesn't know, so when he said congratulations, Mrs Morgan was confused. Instead of saying it verbally at first, the man handed her the result on an envelope. “Congratulations on what?” She could still remember these words as the last moment and when the lab scientist said, “Mr Morgan is the father of your daughter.” Mrs Morgan lost it and she fell unconscious. “Doctor!” Nora, her close friend shouted. The lab scientist and Nora rushed her into one of the wards and they immediately started to resuscitate her. “Flora!” Nora shouted as one of the nurses told her to leave the room. The envelope was in Nora's hands as she came out of the room and stayed outside. “Oh my god, please Flora, you need to wake up. Who will I call now?” She asked herself. “I need to tell…” she pause

She only told me she will get back to me.” Mrs Williams raised her face and looked at her daughter, who was putting on a very short skirt and a white top. It was in the evening and through the window, they could see the sun settling down. “How long will she get back to you?” She spoke with so much anger and after pacing the right side of the sitting room, she stopped and stood behind one of the couches. “Why are you looking at me like that?” Her mom asked, as Merit’s anger could be seen all over her body. “If you were very serious with what I told you, you would have expressed your anger towards her. How will she disgrace me in front of Adrian and her girlfriend? It’s so embarrassing.” “Are you sure Mrs Morgan did the things you have told me?” “She cannot deny it.” “When all of this wa
