Amber’s pov Everything that is happening to me right now has been the opposite of what my grandma has predicted. Why would she even think that Adrian will betray me for the love of his mom? The assurance Adrian gave me yesterday was very strong enough to keep our love very high. The person I have been so concerned that she doesn’t want this relationship has been seeing us together. Deep inside of me, I pray for the quick recovery of Mr Morgan. If eventually Adrian and I get married, I want his dad to be there. He was the reason I found my foot in his family. He turned my misfortune to joy. From giving me a love contract and just yesterday, he held the hands of Adrian and I together and told Adrian never to let our love slip off his hands. “Dad, I will always love Amber, even if it remains the last drop of my blood. I will love her to the end,” Adrian replied to his dad and it was in the middle of it that his mom entered the room. She only smiled at us even if she didn’t say anythi
Author’s pov Merit was in her white sports car and she was vibing and nodding her head to the music she was playing in her car. A few minutes ago, she had spoken on the phone with Adrian and she told Adrian that she was close to his house. “Please, I am on my way to my house now and it will take about twenty minutes,” Adrian replied to her. Merit wasn’t concerned if she was the one who got to Adrian’s house first. All she knew was that she was on a mission. A mission to present herself to Adrian in a way that he could easily speak out the way he feels about her. Her music stopped playing and this was how she connected it whenever a call was coming. It would first stop the music and when she looked at the dashboard of the car, she saw Mrs Morgan’s phone number. She picked up her call and said, “Hello Mrs Morgan, your son has called me and I am close to his house…” “Yes I know, but you don’t need to get to his house before he comes. I want you to delay a bit so that he will g
Author's pov It has been a great nightmare for Jasper and Nora since the day they left Jasper's parents. That encounter had wrecked their relationship to the point that Nora has refused to let Jasper into her house on that very day that the incident happened. “If not that you were the one who drove me here, I would have left you.” She said in great anger as she sat at the back seat of the car in front of Jasper's new house. During the trip home, she was accusing Jasper that he purposely brought her and embarrassed her. When they stopped at her house, she came out of the car and said, “In all my entire life, I have never been disgraced the way your parents did to me…” “I didn't know it was my parents I bought the house from.” Jasper has said these words before while in the car, but she raised her voice at him and when he said that statement again, she couldn't take it any longer and she shouted, “Out of my property or I will call the police.” She pointed at the ga
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
