What happened to Julian? How will Merry is going to protect her man?
~Julian POV~ "Julian, it's me, Merry!" Her words mumbled, but they failed to awaken me from my slumber.No, this can't happen; I cannot show weakness in front of Merry.Jesus, help me! "MUMMA!" The strange sounds continued to echo in my ears, making my head spin. No, not again, dammit! "JULIAN!" My body was drawn into warm arms, and soft hands encircled my back.A relief sigh escaped my lips as soft fingertips stroked my hair.I tucked my head against her chest, wrapped my hands around her waist, and closed my eyes tightly. "It is okay; I am here!" Merry's soft voice echoed in my ears, calming my nerves and emotions.When the flashlight reflected through my closed eyes, I realised Merry was very close to me.She turned on her phone's flashlight, and I couldn't help but stare at her eyes, nose, and lips. She was mumbling. "It is fine, you are safe in my arms!" She sat down and wrapped her arms around my body, stroking my hair with her fingers.I blinked once
~Julian POV~I took the cigarette from my pocket, held it in my mouth, and lit it with the lighter.I breathed in while exhaling the smoke. "Is this your method for controlling your mood swings?" Our car has been parked across the bridge, allowing us to enjoy the view of the city.Merry opened the driver's door and sat inside, looking at me and smoking. "Don't tell me smoking is harmful to your health!" I mumbled while exhaling the smoke. "I will not stop you if it brings you relief, but smoking is bad for your health!" She paused.I didn't respond to her, but I smoked while leaving it out. "Hey!" I looked at her with wide eyes as she removed a cigarette from my mouth and threw it on the ground. "What the hell?" I let out a groan as I exchanged looks with her. "You just said you would not stop me if it gave me relief!" I rolled my eyes before turning back to face her. "I have no problem with you smoking, but please see your doctor and get checked up!"
~MERRY POV~I purchased the presents for my father and grandfather So, I called them, gathering in the hallway with me. "What happened, girl?" "Why have you gathered us together?" My grandfather inquired. "I have got a gift for you!" I smiled as I pulled a gift from the bag for my grandfather.Before approaching my grandfather, I rubbed my fingers on the scarf I had gotten for him. "Now, it is the rainy season Grandpa, and I want you to stay warm." I wrapped the scarf around his neck before admiring his beauty. "It is gorgeous!" My father chuckled as he gave me the response, giving me confidence in my choice.I exchanged a look with my father for a second before checking on my grandfather.It is a lovely green scarf that complements his skin and personality. "Did you like my present, Grandpa?" I inquired with curiosity, and I couldn't help but sigh—this was my first gift for him.My grandmother's secretary brought the mirror and kept it in front of him.
~MERRY POV~Julian called me to his office.He didn't come to pick me up but sent the guard for my protection.On the other hand, I was smiling like an idiot as I remembered the beautiful moment I had with my father last night.I planned to mark the last night on my calendar as the best.I chuckled as a deep and husky voice echoed in my ears, causing my body to shiver.I followed the directions and discovered Julian entering the cabin. "What is so funny?" "Everything is okay right now!" I chuckled as I got up from the couch.As soon as Julian entered the cabin, the guard closed the door behind him, providing us with privacy. "You know, I spent time with my father last night; it was our first father-daughter date!" "Dad fed me food with his hands last night, and it made me really miss my mother!" I couldn't help but sob as I remembered my mother, who used to feed me with herself whenever she had free time, and I loved taking bites from her. "After last night, my bond
~JULIAN POV~She closed the file with a sound, and I looked at her. "I oppose this contract marriage!" "What do you think of yourself?" She gritted her teeth and clenched her fist against the table. "Hmm!" I made a sound. "I am asking you, what the heck do you think about me?" She pounded her fist against the table and screamed and within one sip, she drank the entire glass of water on the table. "Mr. Knight, marriage is not a game." She let a sigh out "According to my mother, marriage is a heart-to-heart bond between two people; it is not about signatures on papers." I was staring into her enraged eyes as she pointed out two fingers to me. "This fucking paper is not something I sign!" She pushed the file out of her reach.She stood up from the chair, clicked her tongue, and turned to head back out of the cabin.While standing on the chair, I couldn't help but grin. "Yes!" I clenched my fist while shaking my hand.My right side has a mirror, which c
~Julian POV~Rings don't have legs to run away from this house, silly! I let a scoff out while making a bit of a sound when Merry looked at me while crossing her hands over her chest.There was an infuriating smirk around her lips, and the gestures on her face were enough to tell me about his words.We suspect the same person behind the missing rings.We both turned and looked at Lyra—she was rolling her eyes with a smile on the corner of her lips. "Where are the rings?" A sob escaped, and I couldn't help but stare at Merry."How could my engagement rings go missing in our house, Grandpa, when there is such tight security in our house?" Merry questioned Mr. Aiden, who was swinging on a swing."Grandpa, this is not a good sign!" She sounded, and the tears streamed down her face.I looked at her tears streaming down with a raised eyebrow—are those tears real? Is she crying?"What are you talking about, Victoria?" Mr. Aiden let out a growl."Then where have the rings disappeared from o
~Julian POV~Everyone, including Lyra, is curious about Merry's wish. "I WANT YOU TO TAKE THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR MY WEDDING!" "I want you to watch my wedding starting from today to the end of the ceremony!" Merry saidI crossed my hands over my chest and looked at her with a smirk around the corner of my lips while understanding the reason behind her wish.This is the only way to stop her from destroying my wedding.Responsibility is extremely difficult to break.She wants to be a good daughter-in-law to Mr. Aiden, so she will not ruin the marriage once Lyra becomes our bridesmaid.Merry is brilliant—I smiled at my girl while crossing my hands over my chest, leaning against the wall, and looking at Merry. "What do you think, Grandpa? Merry looked over at Mr. Aiden. "She is the only elder woman in this house, and I believe she knows more about wedding rituals than we do!" She looked back to Lyra, who remained motionless. "I know you will not say NO to me!" "Af
~MERRY POV~I asked Julian to take me along with him.We are now on our way to meet with the suspects.I am extremely excited to meet those two men. I was curious: was the elevator incident an accident or did it happen on purpose? "Sir, we arrived at our destination!" The guard's voice echoed throughout the area and I exchanged a glance with Julian before exiting the car. "Where are we now?" I inquired, staring at the miniature shelter in front of me. "This is the place where I deal with complications!" He looked at me as he placed his hand inside the pocket. "This is a place with no cameras to watch us!" Julian said as I blinked my eyes while smiling at him.This is the most effective way to deal with bad people in our opinion. "Let's go!" He grabbed my wrist and wrapped his fist around my skin before taking me with him.The guards are following us in a shielded form, protecting us from every angle.When Julian and I walked in, the random guard in front of us
