~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
~MERRY POV~I began to run up to him, smiling and staring at his face.I want to spend the rest of my life with him.He seemed to sense that I was getting closer to him; he turned back when I hugged him while wrapping my hands around his waist and leaning my head against his chest, closing my eyes.His heart skipped a beat as I hugged him, wrapping my hands around his waist and placing my head on his chest.I am so happy with the thought that it was not his idea to make our marriage into a contract. I rubbed my cheek against his chest and tightened my grip around his waist.The only question that popped into my mind as I opened my eyes: Julian, why didn't you tell me?I got angry and yelled at you, blaming you for not wanting to marry me—why did you not tell me at the time that Justin came up with the idea? Why, idiot, did you take my rage and apologise to me? With a thought, a smile appeared on my lips; he tolerated my rage and apologised to me repeatedly for no reason, but he nev
~MERRY POV~"HAPPY MARRIED LIFE!" I opened my mouth and looked at Julian with wide eyes.The thoughts started to run in my mind.What the hell happened? Why does my mother send me wedding wishes?Has my mother found out that I am getting married today? "You have become an adult!" She chuckled. I couldn't help but concentrate on her while admiring her beauty and holding his phone. "I cannot express my happiness in words for this day—you are going to get married today." She sneezed her nose as she was holding her tears back. "You have always wondered about your groom, and now he is with you—he is a handsome and caring person, your damn perfect choice!" She chuckled, and I looked over to Julian, who was already smiling at me. "I still remember that time you learned to walk while holding my finger!" "I still remember the first time you called me Mumma!" I could see tears welling up in her eyes. "See how quickly time vanished into thin air!" She snapped her f
~MERRY POV~ "Let me take you to your groom!" My father looked at me before I exchanged a look with Julian, who was standing in the center of the stage.Yes, I am going to carry out my initial plan to come here—I am going to marry Julian! The light flashed on me, making me the center of attention.I shared a look with my father before taking steps with him to my destination, my groom.I rolled my eyes while checking the decorations of the event.The stage is on the upper level, and the rest of the space is decorated with flowers, light fixtures, chairs, and tables for guests to sit and enjoy.Each table had expensive wine and two sets of glasses.The servants have already started serving food.Indeed, the decorations are stunning. Last but not least, journalists and paparazzi gathered in the hallway, photographing and filming us.The red carpet is on the floor, and a few young ladies are standing in my way.As I moved forward on stage with my father, the young ladies began to thr
~MERRY POV~ "Yes, 30% of your father's stock has been transferred to you!" My grandfather looked at me and revealed the information. "I was not expecting him to give her shares as soon as she got married!" I could hear Lyra's whispers behind me.Seriously, I did not expect him to hand over the property to me!This is Victoria's share, and I cannot accept it. "We will accept!" Julian replied while keeping his hand on the papers, and I looked at him with wide eyes and a big question mark.What the heck is running in his mind?•••••I brought Julian into the room and locked the door before turning to face him. "Are you in your consciousness?" I screamed and pointed my finger at his brain. "Why did you accept those property shares?" "Only you know the truth: I am not Victoria. Julian, my name is Merry; remember!" I moved my finger. "The shares my father and grandfather gave me as my wedding gift, actually it was not mine!" I let out a frown and grabbed my
~MERRY POV~Soon, we reached Knight Mansion.The guard opened the door for me, and I was holding my long gown in my hand inside the car when a large hand extended towards me, forcing me to look ahead.It is Julian. A warm smile is spreading across his lips, inviting me to give him my hand.I extended my hand, and he grabbed it, locking it in his palm.I walked out with Julian's help and turned back as soon as I felt no weight in my dress.I couldn't help but chuckle as I watched the guards pull my gown from the corners before sharing a glance with Julian. "Should we go, Mrs. Knight?" He rolled his eyes towards the house, and I nodded in response as we walked inside.My eyes widened as I stepped into the house.The house is quite large and absolutely stunning. Every corner of the house shines like a diamond—it is a golden-yellowish colour.Clerestory windows add a vibrant atmosphere to the hallway. There are numerous chandeliers throughout the hallway, in addition to ceiling ligh
~JULIAN POV~I gulped and sucked my lower lip, watching Merry stand in front of me in her bra and underwear.I scanned her half-naked body from head to toe, biting my lower lip as I looked at her sight of beauty, and let out a moan.We are simply looking at each other through the mirror reflection.Her chest was rising and falling down as she was taking rapid breaths, revealing details of her smokey body.I couldn't help but notice the colour of her bra—it was black which was shining against her white fair complexion skinMy favourite colour is black, and watching her wear it made my heart skip a beat.She moved her hands, biting her lips and moving them to cover her body.Oh, sh*t—I turned back, clearing my throat and pinching my ear as I inhaled and exhaled.Julian, get your act together and try not to make her uncomfortable. The sound of a thundering voice shook the sky, causing me to roll my eyes as I felt a cold skin touch my warm one, sending shivers down my spine.Goosebumps s
~MERRY POV~He planted a kiss on my cleavage area as I grabbed his hair with my fist and lifted my body in response to his kiss.WHAT THE HECK!When he planted the first warm kiss on my cleavage-explored skin, I felt electricity rush through my entire body.He raised his head and interlocked my hair behind my ear when I closed my eyes for a moment before grabbing his shirt- collar and looking into his eyes.His eyes and nose had turned red while crying; he was looking pale as well.My heart ached when the tears streamed down his cheeks— he cried like a baby today while revealing his soft side to me for the first time.I am on cloud nine, and I am so grateful that he shared his fear and pain with me on the first night of our marriage.He suffered more than anyone else.But this is wrong; he can't blame himself; he simply wanted to spend time with his parents, as I always assumed.I want to make him happy, no matter what! I brought my head close to him and kissed him on the right eye,
