~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
~Julian POV~After 48 hours of rest, I regained full consciousness.Olivia approached me as soon as I awoke, but I did not see Merry when I opened my eyes. Olivia told me how hard she worked for these two days, managing all of the office and house issues in my absence with one hand and caring for me with the other.I turned on my phone and as soon as the notification started to pop on my screen.Merry turned off my phone and I think I know the reason well. There were many missed calls from the journalist of new channels and messages as well : they wanted to schedule a meeting with him about the Hotel incident.FUCK, OFF—I turned off my phone back as soon as I started to get a call from one of the news channels one again.I came to my home gym to calm my nerves.I am pissed at myself for believing Mia.I gave her the chance to play with me. I made the mistake of not double-checking the facts.I was extremely careless in delegating the responsibilities to her. I wore gloves on my ha
~MERRY POV~I sucked his lower lip with my lips before breaking off the kiss.He was doing his best to comfort me.I moved my buttocks while sitting tightly on his lap, then touched his cheek and examined his eyes, nose, and lips. He was not in the state to confront me. He has just recovered from a traumatic experience, but he is more concerned with my situation than with his own.I just can't accept the truth: my grandfather was responsible for my parents' separation. I cupped his cheeks with my palm and moved my lips close to his face.He tightened his grip on my waist, waking up my nerves. I kissed him on his left eyebrow while making him close his eyes. I never got a chance to kiss him and feel him ever before in our romance.I feel like this is my night with him, and I want to clear my mind and spend time with him.All I have right now is to lean my head on his shoulders.We need each other right now.I kissed him on his right cheek while rubbing his left cheek with my thumb
~MERRY POV~"I WANT YOU!" I wrapped my hands around his neck, and he chuckled in response, sucking my lower lip twice before leaning down and taking my left boob."Aaaaahh!" I moaned hard, tightening my grip on his neck and closing my eyes. Holy crap, his tongue is so hot against my boob! The juices began to flow down inside my vagina. He grabbed my right boob with his left hand, squeezing it in his palm before looking at me.When she squeezed my breast, his core strength jolted my whole body."You know what?" A corner of his lips turned up in response to the smile."You are attractive—you are damn sexy, Merry. I could see you all day and night." However, when the beautiful compliment escaped from his mouth, my cheeks flushed and I bit my lip."Look at you; you are like an angel!" He mumbled as he scanned my upper half. He rolled his fingers around my navel, which tickled me and made me laugh."Hahaha!" When I laughed, he exchanged a look with me."It is ticklish!"He let out a sc
~Julian POV~I reached the police station where the cop held Mia in the cell.As soon as I looked out, the car doors opened from my side, and my eyes widened as I noticed Samuel in front of me. "Make your way out!" Samuel mumbled, and I got out of the car, sharing a look with him. "I spoke with the cops and arranged the meeting with Mia."Leaning against the car, I could not help but scoff.I didn't talk to cops about meeting Mia; I thought to talk straight, but here, Samuel arranged everything. He is Samuel, my guard, and he is like my strength whom I can trust in this world while closing my eyes.I walked in alongside Samuel to meet Mia.I sat on the chair in the private meeting room to ensure that no one could overhear our conversation.The doors opened, and Mia appeared, sharing a look with me.She has no fear in her eyes as she watches me sit tight with no wounds."Will you leave us alone?" Samuel asked the cop, grabbing his attention."Oh, okay—I will leave you guys a
~Merry POV~ "Who is behind Mia?" I inquired as I stepped close to Julian when he shared a look with me. "I'll show a video instead of arguing with your family with information!" "Your family trusts evidence more than humans!" Julian said as he looked at my grandfather while pulling out his phone.Wait a second; I am ashamed to call him my grandfather.He was the villain of my parent's lives.I am not going to give him a grandfather's position in my life anymore.He is just Mr. Aiden to me from now on!!Julian turned on the TV and connected his phone to the screen.Mia appeared on the screen while grabbing a piece of intention. "I'll tell you the truth." She was sitting on her knees, and there was fear in her eyes, standing in front of Julian. "The person who sent me is John Gilbert." The information filled the air while filling the words in the air, and my eyes widened before I looked at John.He was as shocked as me, and while seeing Mia exposing him. "I
~MERRY POV~ "I will not forgive anyone, not even my son, for speaking against me!" I closed my eyes as soon as the sound of the bullet hit the air.My heart started to pound into my ears while making me take rapid breaths.How can he just shoot his son? With a thought, I opened my eyes with fear to check on John.A smile formed on my lips as I watched John alive.David grabbed Mr. Aiden's hand and lifted it, and the bullet probably went into the air. "Look, this is your family!" "A father who became ready to kill his son just because John loosened the words!" Julian mumbled while making me look at him. "Your grandfather is a monster in human form. You don't need to think twice to take revenge!" He crossed his hands over his chest and looked into my eyes.His eyes were expressive enough to encourage me to take revenge on him on behalf of my parents' tears.I looked back to see what was going on—David was standing in front of Mr. Aiden, not moving an inch, and grabbing
~MERRY POV~I was just looking at Julian trying to understand his plan.I didn't expect him to nominate me for the next chairman.Victoria did her master's in business but not me. I had no idea about business. "You want to nominate Victoria in your place for the next chairman?" Mr. Aiden blinked his eyes. "I hope you didn't forget about her achievements in the college about business!" "She did her master's in business from Oxford University!" "She got a gold medal for topping the college!" "She had managed a couple of projects and won awards for outstanding performances!" "She did her internship in the business!" "Victoria was the only student who was offered the position of MD in placement based on her performance!” "YES!" My father chuckled while looking at me—he was very proud of Victoria's achievement. "Julian, stop making me awkward; I am not Victoria." I wanted to scream and cover his mouth, but I sealed my lips, unable to speak a word
~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
