~MERRY POV~Lyra looked at me with wide eyes, and her jaw dropped in shock as I clenched her hair in my fist, returning attitude back to her. "Did you just catch my hair?" She let a scoff out while making a sound. "If you can grab my hair, why can I not?" I respond back, clenching her hair even tighter in my fist. "How dare you?" Lyra screamed as she lost her temper over my behaviour, raising her hand to slap me, but I am not going to let that happen.I grabbed her wrist with my other hand, stopping her palm from touching my cheek only an inch away.I began twisting her hand down as she screamed in pain, sounding out and looking at me with wide eyes. "What the hell are you doing?" As soon as she raised her voice, I raised my hand and slapped her on the right cheek with my left hand, forcing her to close her mouth. "Don't raise your voice at me!" I showed her my finger when she looked at me while covering her cheek with her hand. "Did you just slap me?" She ask
~MERRY POV~She began to sit on her knees, and a smile appeared on my lips, calming my heart.She bent her head and lowered her gaze, keeping her hands on her toes. "Please let me live!" She clenched her fist, suppressing her rage over her pride. "I am not satisfied!" I clicked my tongue, making her look at me. "Use your hands, as well!" I said it while sitting on the couch in front of her.She groaned, biting her lips, before moving her hand and joining them together. "Please forgive me; I have made a mistake!" She lowered her eyes and rubbed her hands, begging me in a tone. "I promise to never interfere in your life again!" "I understand I was always harsh with you—but you are so sweet; please forgive me." She stared at me, trying to poke me with her words. "I am not Victoria, who is kind enough to forgive you!" She looked at me with wide eyes when I revealed the truth. "Yes, I am not the Victoria from the past who was the most kind person!"
~ MERRY POV~I came downstairs with Lyra, my dear.Julian returned from the office and picked me up.John had also returned home from work.Julian gave me a look as I greeted him with my eyes with a smile on my lips.I hope he had a wonderful day.The start to our day was definitely not good—with a thought, I looked at Lyra.But I hope I have carried out one step of my plan while keeping Lyra in my grip."How are you feeling right now?" It did not take long before a warm voice echoed in my ears, capturing my attention.Even in my dreams, I recognised Julian's voice as he inquired about my condition with a concerned tone.Julian is standing right in front of me, with his right hand in his pocket and making eye contact with me.His gaze sweeps across my face, cheeks, and lips, down to my toes, examining my entire body.On the other hand, the heat started to pour into my body with his sexy stares "I feel better now!" I replied with a smile on his lips. "What happened to you?" John
~MERRY POV~We arrived at Knight Mansion.Julian did not leave me for a single second.He made me drink a dozen juices per hour.He peeled apples with his own hands and fed me while working on his laptop with the other hand and talking on the phone with his clients.He was extremely busy tonight, but he gave me top priority.He comforts me through his words and actions. I am so happy for my husband; he is the best.I have always wanted a caring husband like him. I can confidently state that Julian is my ideal type.He is attractive and tall, with a successful physique.I took a shower and emerged wearing my nightgown and standing right in front of the mirror.My hair was damp, so I stroked it with my fingers before extending my hand to grab the dryer.I turned on my hair dryer, and a jolt of pain shot through my nerves, making my hand shiver.Oh sh*t, a groan came from my mouth as I shifted my hair dryer to another hand.I shook my hand when I felt a sharp pain shoot through my nerve
~MERRY POV~"Are you sure you will be tight without pulling me into bed?" I inquired, and he gave a dark chuckle as he tried to figure out what I was saying.He grabbed my shoulders, slid my hair from my back, kissed my shoulder, and looked at me through the mirror."I am a man of my word!" He looked down at my back and lowered his hand.I am not sure, but he pressed my shoulder bone, making me jump in pain."OUCH!" I screamed and moved my body as soon as I felt a jolt of pain run through me."It hurts!" I turned my head to face him."I am sorry!" He responded with his pouty lips."But your nerves are so tense—I need to relax them!" He picked up the oil bottle and poured it into his hand, rubbing his palms together before grabbing my shoulders."You have never gotten a body massage, right?" "I have never been interested in this beauty care!" I responded, and he scoffed."Natural Beauty?" He laughed."I am!" I placed both of my hands around my waist when I felt his warm hands on my sk
~Julian POV~ "YOU BLOODY ROBBER!" When the robber was about to flee, Merry stood on the seat and jumped towards him in the air, spreading her legs to punch him. WHAT THE HELL?I watched Merry fly through the air with wide eyes.What the hell is going on here?The robber was staring at Merry with wide eyes.Merry's right leg struck the robber in the face, causing him to groan in pain before he fell to the ground. "HUH!" She clapped her hands as if to remove gems from it.The public began to gather at the site. I opened the door while deciding to apprehend the robber and hand him over to the police.However, I turned to look at them. Merry grabbed the robber's hair with one hand and started slapping him on his cheek with her other hand "You scoundrel, how dare you steal something that does not belong to you!" Merry simply grabbed his hair, pulling it in her fist and making him scream.On the other hand, she slapped him on the cheek, stomach, and back.The robber is unab
~MERRY POV~We arrived at Gilbert Mansion.I was thinking about the purpose of calling me.My grandfather sounded serious to me, and I was concerned about the reason for his call.Julian was grabbing my wrist with his hand and not leaving me alone for a second.We stepped inside the house while making our way towards the hallway.The TV was on, and as my name rang in the air, I exchanged a glance with Julian.I leaned forward to check the TV, and my jaw dropped when I saw myself on the screen.The scene was telecasting again and again when I caught the robber and started to beat him.My eyes widened as I watched my actions on TV—I flew through the air, spreading my leg, and punched the robber in the face.I couldn't help but cover my face while stopping my giggles coming out of my mouth before sharing a look with Julian.He was already staring at me with a smirk on his lips, gesturing to me with those sexy green eyes—observe your actions.I tilted my head when a Lyra voice rang into m
~MERRY POV~ "You are not Victoria, right?" The only words of question escaped from his mouth, making my jaw drop in shock.Julian didn't tell me anything about Aaron, then how would I know of him? I sounded suspicious enough to make him suspect me.I asked Julian to take over the situation, gesturing with my eyes. "Victoria can not fight!" He turned on his phone, and the video of me apprehending the robber and fighting him appeared on the screen.Oh, sh*t—he is so brilliant, damnit! "She doesn't like violence and fights!" He said it while looking at me, and my eyes widened—he knew a lot about Victoria, goodness. "Hahaha!" Julian laughed and tapped his hand on Aaron's shoulder. "You are all grown up!" Julian chuckled as he stroked Aaron's hair with his fingertips. "This is not an answer to my question!" Aaron rolled his eyes, and Julian shut his mouth, returning to his arrogant personality. "I have taught her how to fight in self-defence!" Julian repli
~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
