~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.
~MERRY POV~This is time, Merry C'mon—my inner feelings yelled inside my mind while opening my mouth. "There are many things that have happened in these months, which you must know." "I got married to Julian." "What?" She sounded and looked at me with wide eyes. "When did you guys get married to each other?" Victoria asked as she looked back and forth between Julian and me. "How did you guys get together?" "You remembered, I proposed to you for the marriage to help you gain a place in the Gilbert Mansion." "But everything turned upside down when Rocky shot you, and you went into a coma." "Merry and Justin clarified the hotel scene with the help of his father." Julian gestured his finger at Justin. "When she found out that Lyra had a part in the separation of your parents, she lost her mind. She wanted to take revenge, and I always wanted to help Uncle Harry and protect him." Julian started to narrate the entire story while taking the initiative
~Julian POV~I came out with Justin while giving space to both of the sisters.I am very happy to see Victoria come back.Moreover, Merry is very happy; I felt peace in my heart while seeing her joy.She was stressed from the past few days with the sh*t of things that happened in our lives.Victoria's coming out of a coma is the beginning of our victory.I parked the car on the bridge while watching the view of the city. "Drink?" Justin mumbled, and I looked at him in response, who was standing right in front of me while placing his left hand inside his pocket and sharing a look with me. "No, thanks!" I turned my body a bit while placing my right hand inside my pocket. "Oops, sorry, I forgot that you only drink expensive wine!" "A rich boy like you will never drink the local brand. I got you!" He sounded sarcastic while poking his finger at me. "But let me tell you a fact: the local drink is much tastier than your expensive wine!" Before turning and making his way to
~Merry POV~The car came to a stop right in front of my house, and my heart skipped a beat as I captured the view of my sweet home."Are you thrilled to meet her?" Justin muttered, and I looked at him, nodding in response. I did not tell my mom I was coming home to meet her because I wanted to surprise her.When I opened the door to exit the car, Justin came to a halt beside me.We shared a look, and he blinked his eyes while tilting his head in a gesture—Let's go.I started taking steps inside my house with Justin.As soon as I set foot inside the house, tears streamed down my cheeks—this time, happy tears.My mother saved up enough money to buy this house and worked extremely hard.As I rolled my eyes at every corner of the wall, memories of my time here began to play back in front of my eyes.Every second I spent with my mother in this house was precious.This is a sweet home filled with love and care unlike Gilbert Mansion."Are you crying for real?" Justin's voice echoed in my e
~MERRY POV~I am having dinner with my mother after a long time, damn.When I am with my mother, I rarely eat with my hands.Even today, my mother is lavishing me with love."Tasty!" I sounded while taking a bite of food in my mouth.My mother smiled at me while feeding me another bite."Delicious!" I sounded while chewing my food and shaking my head.The more she fed me, the more delicious the food became, transporting me to paradise."Mummy, you are the best chef in the world!" I screamed as I opened my mouth to take another bite, enjoying it like a child.She stroked my hair with her fingers and made me look at her."Did you miss me?" I inquired, and she nodded in response, opening her arm in a gesture. "I MISSED YOU A LOT." I could not help but hug her, wrapping my hands around her waist and resting my face against her chest.I felt very peaceful in my mother's arms, and I knew I would never feel safer anywhere else.But Julian has proven my assumptions wrong.He became my painki
