~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~My heart skipped a beat the moment the clock chimed in the air.I followed the directions and discovered the wall clock on the wall.The time is 10.00.A.mOh my gosh, the time is up! I looked back to check on Aaron—he was coming back to the hallway while washing his hands.I need to prevent this accident.My eyes captured the chandelier above, hanging against the wall—it was shaking.On the other hand, my inner subconsciousness recalled the weapon of the accident.There was a chandelier beside Aaron when he was lying on the floor full of blood in my dream.Yes, I found the weapon. The chandelier started to shake fast, and on the other hand, Aaron was coming in the same way. "AARON, STEP OUT!" I screamed while running towards him.I didn't notice anyone beside or next to me; I was just running like a crazy woman to grab Aaron and pull him away. I looked up while running—the chandelier started to fall, and on the other hand, Aaron stopped in the same place while watc
~MERRY POV~ "What are you saying?" A voice rang through the air, causing me to pause in my position.Julian turned to check on the person, clearing the view for me to see as well.Aaron is standing in front of the door, sharing a look with me. "Are you talking about me?" He asked while pointing his finger towards him.Oh, sh*t, did he hear everything? "You saw me in your dream while involved in an accident?" However, the words slipped out of his mouth, and I looked at him with wide eyes. "You did not hear her right!" Julian said it confidently, placing his hands in his pocket. "Hmm?" Aaron sounded and looked at Julian. "I heard her saying she had a dream about me being severely injured!" Aaron argued while looking back and forth between me and Julian. "I told you, you misheard her!" Julian moved his finger to take control of the situation. "She said she was scared to death while watching you reach the deadline!" "She said you would die if the chandeli
~MERRY POV~The beam of light began to fall on my face, and I blinked before opening my eyes and moving my arms to calm my nerves.I tapped my hand on the bed and turned, feeling the absence of Julian beside me.I sat down on the bed and looked around for Julian. "Where are you, Julian?" I jumped out of bed, making my way to the bathroom and knocking.When I did not get a response from the other side, I grabbed the door handle and opened it.There is no one inside—it is completely empty. "Julian?" I mumbled while biting my lip. The tension began to take over my nerves, making me concerned about Julian.When my eyes caught the recorder with the package box on the table, I took a step closer.I grabbed the recorder in the first place while turning it on, and Julian's voice came out. "Good Morning, Princess!" As soon as his voice reached my ears, a smile spread across my lips, causing me to relax in my seat. "First of all, take a breath!" However, the words escaped, and
NOTE — Please read the scenes very carefully. The scene changed from time to time to express every character's emotions and anger.~THIRD POV~Julian is waiting for his clients while sitting in a chair and checking his laptop.His secretary, Mia, entered the room while standing behind him, a devilish smile on her lips."Time up, Julian. Now it is time to carry out my plan." She turned her body and mixed the white powder into the drink before shaking it.Yes, she is giving him the drugs."Julian, take a drink and cool down!" She extended the drink in her hand, keeping it in front of Julian's face.He shared a look with her before looking at the drink. "No, thank you for your efforts—you can have it!" "Where is the client?" He inquired."He is on the way—it might take more than twenty minutes!" She lied."More than twenty minutes?" He groaned while stroking his hair with his fingers. "You said they would be there in twenty minutes half an hour ago, and now you are saying the same thi
~MERRY POV~I turned back to look at Julian and touched his cheek with my palm while inspecting him from head to toe.He is not fully conscious—he is simply blinking his eyes at me and grabbing his head.I could feel the pain in my heart as I watched him in this helpless state. "You want to say that Mr. Knight has not taken drugs?" The journalist interrupted while removing my thoughts from my mind. "He is on drugs!" I responded while exchanging looks with the journalist. "Is this your confession that your husband is a drug addict?" Another journalist interrupted me as he posed a question. "Let me finish!" I pointed my finger at him before continuing. "My husband does not do drugs—I am his wife; I know him better than you." "So I request you to shut up and watch the drama!" I gritted my teeth and put everyone in their place before turning to Mia, who was the true culprit in this mess.I scanned her, looking for a weapon against her to prove Julian's innocenc
~MERRY POV~I thought about taking Julian to the hospital to give him a reverse dose of drugs, but his reputation and fame stopped me from admitting him.Julian has now captured the attention of every media outlet. We received hundreds of calls from media outlets requesting his interview about the scene.I just got a call from the company manager on our way home, and the office landline is also getting calls from journalists looking for an interview with Julian.I simply told them to turn off all calls for the day and continue with their respective tasks.I brought Julian into our bedroom while wrapping my hand around his waist and looking at him—his nose had turned red, and he appeared pale and numb.Watching him in such a helpless state makes my heart ache with pain.I made him sit on the edge of the bed before placing his head on the pillow.He tilted his head before giving me a look and putting his hand around my neck."Trust me, I have done nothing wrong." "I am not having an af
~Merry POV~I came to Gilbert Mansion to meet Lyra. There is only one suspect in my mind behind Julian's incident, and it is Lyra. She could only do such terrible things to harm people.I entered her room without knocking on the door and grabbing her attention.She is taking care of skincare I tightened my grip around her shoulder while pulling her to me. "Heck!" She sounded as the beauty product fell down while breaking into pieces. "What do you want?" She screamed as she looked at me.I didn't reply to her back but grabbed both of her shoulders while pinning her against the wall.The moment her back smacked against the wall, a groan escaped out of her mouth while she placed her hand on the waist. "OUCH, WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU!" She screamed at the end while shaking her head. "Didn't I tell you to stay away from my life?" I gritted my teeth as I tightened my grip around her shoulders. "What are you talking about?" She looked at me in confusion while trying
