~Victoria POV~Justin is talking with his team on the call with all seriousness on his face.I am sitting on my bed while eating my nails, looking at Justin.Yet, my heartbeats are not under my control.I want to talk with my father right now and know about his status.I want to hear his voice, but how?I am not using my phone or sim. I can't talk to him like me, Victoria Gilbert.I want to speak with Dad once; I miss him a lot.I closed my eyes for a brief moment before looking down at my phone. Justin gave me a new phone and a new SIM card.I picked up my phone in my hand and unlocked it before dialling my father's number from the screen.He is my father, but not a monster to scare him into calling—with a thought, I called my father while holding my phone to my ear.As the call started to ring, my heart started to pound into my ears while making me gulp."Hello!" His warm voice echoed through the phone and onto my screen, and my heart skipped a beat."Who is this?" he inquired."I a
~Merry POV~ "The interesting fact is, the hospital was bought by your father recently—he is going to be the main guest of the event!" Justin revealed the information.Holy sh*t— I shared a look with Julian, and my jaw dropped. "What are you saying?" I exclaimed while chuckling. "I assume your mother knew the hospital belonged to your father, so she declined to visit the new branch and launch her device!" Justin said.Jesus, is this your game to help me reunite with my parents?This is truly a miracle! My father bought a hospital to help the public, and that management is related to my mom's workplace."Vic, don't miss this opportunity!" As soon as I muttered, she sounded, "HUH!" "Yes, you have to persuade mom to promote her gadget in Switzerland." "Convince Mom to take a trip to Switzerland!" "I think this is our chance to arrange a meeting between Mom and Dad!" I said everything in one breath. "How will I convince mom?" There is a lack of confidence throughou
~Justin POV~I am talking to Merry on the call. "What are the results?" She inquired, and there was fear in her voice to hear bad news. "I took my father with me to your house.""It was a fantastic idea; after both of us, if anyone can make my mother understand, it is Uncle Lucas." She said while supporting my decision to take my father to convince her mom.."I started the conversation while taking the initiative!" I explained at the beginning. "Good start, then!" She inquired. "I asked her as if I did not know anything.""I asked her why she was giving credit to others for her hard work.""She stated that she is not interested in being recognized by the people—she just wants to help needy people!" As soon as I explained the part of the conversation, Merry groaned. "I tried various methods to persuade her, but she stuck to her one response—she was not interested in participating." "What was Victoria doing during all of this?" "She would have participated in the action to
~Merry POV~I am travelling with Samuel in the car, making my way to meet Julian.I want to tell him that my mother has agreed to come to Switzerland and give her a presentation.I could say this over the phone, but I prefer to say it in person. Julian wished more than anyone to give her presentation, and people recognised her work.I looked at myself through the side mirror when a thought ran through my mind—I was the reason behind my mother refusing to present her work, although she worked so hard.She is scared of losing me, so I do.I do not want to lose her either.Do not worry, Mommy—no one will be able to separate me from you, not even my father or Mr. Aiden Gilbert.I love you more than anything in my life. Mommy, you have no idea how much we sisters have planned for you—a happy family and a part of happiness in your life book.Take a deep breath and come over here. Give your presentation, and I will replay the plot of our stories.My parents acted as if they had forgotten ea
~Merry POV~"MERRY!" As soon as he muttered my name, I sat on his lap and wrapped my hands around his neck, keeping his head against my chest. I stroked Julian's hair with my fingers, thinking, "Come on, Julian; I will make you feel better."He let out a sigh of relief when I felt his warm breath on my collarbone.He wrapped his hand around my waist and hugged me tightly, pressing his nose against my skin and hiding his face in the crook of my neck.I couldn't help but chuckle when his warm lips touched my cold ones, spreading heat through my nerves while making me stroke his hair with my fingers.He smells wonderful, hypnotising me into closing my eyes and feeling it.On the other hand, his body is so warm that I could fall asleep in his arms, hugging him without a blanket on a snowbed."Merry, these people!" Julian muttered while trying to move when I pulled him back into my arms while wrapping my hands around his neck."TAKE A BREATH!" I instructed when he followed while taking a
~Merry POV~ "I will just tell you!" He sounded while wrapping his hand around my waist.My heart started pounding in my ears.Is he going to say "I LOVE YOU!"?I know he has mutual feelings for me as I do.His looks changed for me. When I first met him, I noticed a sense of responsibility in his eyes to protect me. But now, I could tell his eyes were filled with love and care for me.Julian was arrogant with me at first, but now all I see is love in his eyes and behaviour toward me."It is easy to say those three magical words!" He muttered as he grabbed my shoulders and stared into my eyes.My heart skipped a beat, and I could not stop smiling as I waited to hear from him. I LOVE YOU. "All the best." When the words came out of his mouth, my eyes widened and my jaw dropped. "All the very best; you can do it. Make your business a success, and then bring your parents together." He muttered, and my head started to spin while making me grab my head."So, these are called 3 magical w
~Merry POV~The doctor showed up at the house. He is now using a stethoscope to check Aaron's pulse.My heart was racing as each second passed through the thin air. "Doctor, what happened to my son? Lyra inquired, breaking the dead silence. Oh my god, for the first time, I loved to hear her voice. I would also like to know about Aaron's condition. "I would like to know more about Aaron before explaining his condition." The doctor said this while looking at Lyra. "What is it, doctor?" I asked while taking a step forward. "Does he take any pills?" The doctor inquired. "Yes, he does!" I replied immediately while making every one in the room look at me. "Aaron is on pills?" Julian sounded so shocked. "What is it?" Julian inquired while looking at me. "I found it today as well." I shrugged my shoulders while sharing a look with him. "He said, it was vitamin tablets." I looked back at Aaron. "Can I see it?" The doctor said. "It's a vitami
~Merry POV~"If you try to give the pills to Aaron while crossing the doctor's recommendation, then I will file a police complaint against you!""What?" Mr. Aiden let out a dark chuckle while making a sound."VICTORIA!" Julian called the name out while altering me to remind me—that I was living as Victoria. I looked at David and Lyra; they were as shocked as Julian. I finally shared a look with Mr. Aiden—there was a smirk arousing around the corner of his lips while showing me—how much I pissed him off with my words."How dare you?" David clicked his tongue while breaking the silence from his end."Victoria, don't forget whom you're talking to?""He has given you more power than you deserved, but it doesn't mean you talk to him like this!" David tried to poke me with his words while trying to make my bad image in front of Mr. Aiden."What do you mean, you'll file a police complaint against him?" He let out a scoff while making a sound."Don't poke your nose in my business, David!" I
