~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~I am standing outside John's room to give him a gift and send him off goodbye.I looked into my hands while checking the gift in my palm. My father has given me a gift to give to John as a present.Lyra is helping John with his luggage, keeping all business suits for the office and casual to wear at night. "I have arranged your office suits in one luggage and your casual clothes in the other bag."John sounded, "HMM!" "I want to come with you, but I'm afraid I can't!" "Aaron's classes are going to start next week!""No one will take care of him in this house other than us." Lyra said everything in a single breath while moving her hand."I don't tell you to come with me, either." "Take care of Aaron." John replied"Don't worry, John, I will talk to your father about you once his anger calms down!" "I know very well how to poke him in a calm situation!" Lyra tittled her head. "But what did you need to hurt Julian?" Lyra hissed at the end while stroking her hair
~MERRY POV~I stepped out of the house, thinking about the day.It was a long day.A lot of things happened in one moment.We discovered the true culprit who sent Mia to Julian.The fight between Mr. Aiden and Uncle John.Mr. Aiden became enraged over his own ego and attempted to murder his son.Julian nominated me as the next chairman, which Mr. Aiden accepted. Last but not least, I came to know about John and his past beautiful relationship with my father.I thought John hated my father, but he once loved him more than himself.When I arrived, I discovered a new man sitting in the driver's seat, talking with Julian."You came?" Julian's voice echoed in my ears and made me look at him. He soon got out of the car."Did you say goodbye to your uncle with a lot of love?" Julian rolled his eyes and teased me with a sarcastic tone.I could not help but sigh and move my head, rubbing my forehead with my thumb."Who is this gentleman standing beside you?" I attempted to change the subject
~MERRY POV~We are on the flight right now, making our way to London to see Victoria.I wanted to fly over to London at the time when I got to know news about Victoria from Justin.Julian arranged his private jet for us to travel, but the pilot took the time to reach Knight Mansion.I couldn't even blink my eyes and sleep for even a second while closing my damn eyes.I was very excited to meet Victoria and talk to her in real-time.To be honest, I am excited and nervous at the same time; after all, I am going to talk with her for the first time face-to-face. A warm hand wrapped around my shoulder, making me let out a relieved sigh before sharing a look with Julian. "Everything is going to be fine." The warm smile aroused around his lips started to give me relief in my heart.On the other hand, he was tapping his hand on my shoulder while making my nerves calm.I couldn't help but lean my head on his shoulder while closing my eyes for a second.My heart was aching in pain as I did
~MERRY POV~ "I feel like you are all a family, and I am an outsider!" His heartbreaking words hurt my heart and made me blink my eyes.I could see Justin was hurt by the thought; I hid the most important secret from him.No, we cannot have any misunderstandings in this state.I forgot to tell him because Julian was in bad shape and everything was messed up. "Listen to me, Justin!" As soon as I took a step closer to him, he turned and opened the door while stepping out and shutting the door behind me with a loud sound.I shared a look with Julian, asking him to help me with an idea. "Get him!" Julian hissed and said as he moved his hand.I opened the door and started to run after Justin while trying to grab him and have a conversation.The only thought that comes to mind is that I do not want to lose such a wonderful friend because of a misunderstanding, even though I know our friendship is not so fragile that it can be shattered in an instant. But Justin is hurt becaus
~MERRY POV~ "So, what happened these days?" Victoria inquired, and I shared a look with Julian. "Father is not here yet, so I guess he doesn't know about my condition." "How did you manage my absence in the house?" Victoria inquired while looking at Julian. "Merry is in your place all these days in your house!" Justin revealed the information, and Vic looked at him with wide eyes. I looked at Justin with wide eyes as well, exposing the truth without giving a notice. "Yes, Merry is living under your identity at Gilbert Mansion!" Julian mumbled, pressing his thumb against his forehead. "I am not sure you recall your last memory from the mall—you met with Merry!" "Oh, yeah, I remember she was standing next to you." Victoria nodded, and her memory was crystal clear. "At the same time, Rocky shot you, and we didn't get the opportunity to have a conversation back then!" I let out a sigh while sharing a look with Victoria. "Who is Rocky?" She inquired.
