~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
