~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,
~MERRY POV~The sun's rays reflected through my eyes as I blinked, but I did not open them.I want to sleep—with a thought, I closed my eyes tightly and leaned my head against the pillow. "WAKE UP!" The whispers began to echo in my ears as soon as I ignored them. "Merry!" The warm breath touched my forehead, along with my name, prompting me to open my eyes and check on the person.Julian's handsome face appeared in front of my eyes as soon as I opened them; he was very close to me, looking into my eyes. "GOOD MORNING!" I closed my eyes and smelled his scent on the body. "It is past ten o'clock!" My body shivered as soon as his husky, wave-of-depth voice reached my ears.He stepped back and straightened his body when his chest was wide, exposing his hard muscles.I couldn't stop biting my lips as I stared at him from head to toe.His messy hair and piercing eyes make him extremely attractive.He has a six-pack stomach and is exceptionally well-proportioned.His chest is
~MERRY POV~I looked at him when he sucked the water droplets out of my ear and bit my earlobe with his teeth.Oh fuck, I closed my eyes and dug my nails into his shoulders, pressing my upper body against his muscled chest. I looked down when I felt something running across my skin.He was wrapping the towel around my chest, and his fingers touched my skin as I pressed my lower body against him, feeling his crotch jerk me through his jeans.Oh sh*t, I am instantly drawn to this man and surprised by how my body reacts to his every touch, stroke, and presence. I returned my gaze to his eyes before rolling them down to his lips, recalling how his lips rolled against my skin the night before.It was very warm and juicy at the same time. "I love those marks on your neck!" He whispered into my ears, and I stepped back as my body was pinned against the wall.When I clenched my fist, he leaned down to kiss my neck, exactly where his love bite was, and the desires began to roll inside my
~MERRY POV~ "Then, die!" David gritted his teeth and loaded the gun. "No, David!" I extended my hand to stop him when a bullet sound filled the air making me close my eyes.No, I don't want anyone to die! Changing the fate of someone always gives consequences A tear escaped from my mouth with a thought: David shot my mother, and I lost her. "Aah!" As soon as David's scream echoed into my ears, I opened my eyes.The bullet hit David's hand while making him throw the gun. "YOU SON OF BITCH!" Oh my god, it's Julian—he shot David. Julian threw the gun on the floor while stepping close to David and punching his head against him.Oh my god, it was so hard! "Aahh!" David groaned in pain while grabbing his head before he raised his hand to punch Julian and defend himself.But Julian is in a full-fire mood; his face turned red as if his blood was boiling in rage. On the other hand, Julian's guards pushed David's men while pointing the guns at them before knocki
~MERRY POV~I came to a stop, opened the door, and exited while closing it behind me.I sighed as I scanned the tall building from top to bottom, thinking, "I came here without any safety."Jesus, help me—while praying, I began running inside as quickly as I could.As soon as I stepped inside, my eyes were drawn to the clock—11.02 p.m. Oh my god, I was two minutes late. I walked in while looking for my grandfather inside the house.I let out a sigh as soon as I saw him in the hallway.There is a milk glass in his hand. The milk finished half of the glass. "OH NO!" I ran to him while reaching close to him before throwing the glass from his hand. "What the!" Mr. Aiden sounded while watching the glass break into pieces, spreading the milk on the floor. "What are you doing here?" David screamed at the top of his lungs from behind, spreading his deep voice throughout the hallway. "Did you drink half of the milk?" I inquired. "You seriously came here to ask about milk?"
~MERRY POV~I came to Knight Mansion with my family. On the way home, we stopped at the hospital to get my father's wound treated properly.Fortunately, the cut was not deep, and his shoulder was fine; he only needed a few exercises and rest to heal.Julian already called Olivia and told her to arrange rooms with good equipment to sleep well.Olivia is now walking with my family to show them their respective rooms. On the other hand, my mother and Victoria help my father to walk with their support.I sat down on the couch, grabbing my head. "It was a long day." I couldn't stop sighing. "Indeed, it was big!" Julian placed his hand in his pocket as I leaned down on the couch layer.We planned a wonderful meeting for my parents. However, David had a different plan for us. "Get up!" Julian sounded. "What?" I shared a look with Julian. "Get up!" Julian moved his index finger. "No, Julian. I have no energy; give me a break—we will talk later." "Don't be lazy,
~THIRD POV~As soon as the officer turned to Noah. Julian, Merry, Victoria, and Justin entered, shielding Noah with their presence.Mr. Aiden looked at his children with a frustrated expression. In contrast, David rolled his eyes. "You are not allowed to arrest her!" Justin approached the officer. "Who the hell are you to stop them?" Mr. Aiden inquired as he knew nothing about Justin. "I am the cop." Justin sounded very proud of his position as he turned to face Mr. Aiden for the first time. "I have recorded his confession." Justin took out his phone and played a video of Rocky confessing David's name. Rocky shared a look with David—he winked at him while telling Rocky to continue his act. "I told you, she paid me to do it!" Rocky pointed his finger at Noah. "Shut up, piece of sh*t!" Justin grabbed Rocky by the collar and clicked his tongue before pushing him away 5-6 steps. "Hello, Mr. Justin!" The officer gave a call. "Officer, I want to say, the pe
~THIRD POV~ "Yes, I was the one who planned all these!" Mr. Aiden's scream echoed back in the hallway while making every one of the people look at him. Noah let out a sigh while seeing Mr. Aiden expose the truth from his end.Finally, the characterless and cheater tag took off her.It feels like the heavy weight was removed from her soul.She feels so relaxed.A happy tear rolled down on her cheek.On the other hand, Harry stepped back as soon as Aiden agreed—he had planned everything to separate from him.Harry hoped every second on the way home everyone misunderstood his father.He had prayed for his father to say— he never hurt Noah, and he was not the reason behind their separation.But watching his father confess everything, breaks him down "Why?" My father sounded so heartbroken while a single tear dropped down on his cheek.Merry lowered her eyes while unable to watch her father cry and break apart.She knew this time would come one day to face off everything.On the
~THIRD PERSON POV~ "WHO ARE YOU?" Harry was shocked while watching Rocky point out his gun at them through the outside window.Rocky always keeps the spare weapon. He left over the snipper on the rooftop and now targeted Victoria and her family with his small gun while pulling it from his pocket. In the meantime, Merry got out of the car while hitting Rocky with the door on his head. "Fuck!" When Rocky groaned while grabbing Merry jumped in the air with the support of the door while kicking her leg on his chest. "MERRY, watch!" Harry panicked while watching Merry fight alone with Rocky—who was looking like a bad man. "Merry!" When Noah tried to come out of the car, Merry interrupted while covering the car with her body. "Mom, relax. You sent me to boxing and mixed martial arts—I mastered them." "I am very flexible to fight and smash my competitor!" Merry revealed the information, and Harry looked at Noah. "You sent her to professional fighting?" Harry l
~THIRD PERSON POV~Merry noticed a red dot on Harry's white shirt."NO WAY—DAD, DOWN!" Merry tried to push Harry, but the bullet touched his shoulder before letting out. "Aah!" Harry was knocked down on the ground while screaming in pain. "Harry!" Noah yelled at the top of her lungs. "Dad!" Victoria looked at everything with wide eyes.Noah, Merry, and Victoria ran to him while sitting on their knees and checking on Harry.The blood is bleeding from Harry's shoulders.The bullet touched aside the corner of his shoulder before letting it out—it didn't cut deep but gave enough pain. "Are you okay?" Noah sounded concerned while keeping her hand on Harry's shoulder, trying to stop the bleeding. Harry looked into her eyes—his eyes softened for her as he nodded his head in response. Victoria couldn't help but cry while watching her father hurt. Merry's heart also started to ache in pain while watching Harry groan in pain. "I need a first-aid kit to treat him." Noa
~THIRD PERSON POV~ "Where is my daughter?" As soon as Harry inquired, she looked into his eyes. His eyes darkened in rage, but Noah let out a fearful sight.She doesn't want this to happen! "C'mon, fight with it, Mom!" Merry opened the window and watched her parents—she could hear them. The car was parked just a bit of a distance from them. "Where is my daughter, Noah?" Harry sounded so serious, but Noah decided to shut her mouth—she didn't say a word. "I am asking you something, damnit?" Harry yelled out loud, and Noah closed her eyes for a second. "Don't shut your damn mouth; open it and speak up!" "Where is my daughter, Merry?" "I've stayed away enough from her; now I want my daughter back. Do you understand?" Harry poked Noah with his index finger. "What do you want to ask while seeing me after all these years?" Noah asked him back while breaking the silence from her end—she sounded so emotional. Her heart started to ache with a thought; he didn't
~Third Person POV~ "Your dream came true!" Julian muttered, and Merry couldn't help but smile while nodding her head and watching her parents.Noah and Harry, on the other hand, are making eye contact.Their eyes were full of love and concern.The memories of their time together began to play out in front of them.The memories of their cuddling, love, care, and fun began to play out before their eyes like a movie.They can not believe their eyes when they finally meet after decades apart."It has been so many years, but nothing has changed about her—she is still so beautiful!" Harry muttered inside his head as he stared at Noah."He has not changed a bit; he looks so young and handsome!" Noah smiled as she mumbled to herself."So, what do you think?" Victoria wrapped Merry's hand as she looked at her parents. "Dad, lost in our mother's beauty.” Victoria couldn’t help but laugh."So, Mom does!" Merry responded with a smile on her lips."I told you that they both still love each ot
