~Merry POV~"AIDEN GILBERT?" She turned the phone to reveal the caller's name.My heart skipped a beat as I looked at Julian with wide eyes, who was staring at my mother with no expression on his face.Oh my gosh, my grandfather is calling Julian right now! Why the hell did Julian save my grandfather's contact information with his full name?Julian grabbed his phone from my mother's hand and cut the call before looking at me.He rubbed his brow with his thumb."May I ask, who is Aiden Gilbert?" The question I didn't want to hear echoed into my ears, letting me out a sigh.Julian cleared his throat before looking at my mother.Julian, please take care of this! "He is one of my clients.""Where is he from?" She inquired, and I could see fear in her eyes as she gulped down to her throat."He is from Paris." Julian made a false claim. "Paris?" She blinked her eyes."Yes, he is one of my friends." "Your friend?" She mumbled."Yes, we graduated from college together." "You graduated at
~Julian POV~There was a pin drop of silence when I revealed that my parents had died when I was young.Mrs. Noah must have been speechless to ask anything."What happened with your parents, Julian?" She asked, breaking the silence.On the other hand, Merry opened her mouth to tell her mother to not ask anything about my past, but I showed her my hand while stopping her from interfering.She gave me a concerned look, and her lips formed into pouty. I could sense; she felt my emotions through my eyes."They passed away in an accident on my birthday!" As soon as I revealed, she looked at me with concern. "I was present at the crime scene, but nothing happened to me; my parents died on the spot." I let out a dark chuckle and parted my hand in the air.I do not forgive myself for taking them out, even though my father was extremely busy—I yelled at him to take me out.I still believe that if I had not insisted on going out that night, my parents would be alive today."Do you blame yours
~Merry POV~I got caught kissing my husband in front of my mother.My mom is standing right in front of me while crossing her hands over her chest, asking for an explanation.I kissed Julian without any fear of being caught. I just wanted to show my love to him. I wanted to say to him—I am always there for him and forever."Actually!" Julian opened his mouth while watching me quite in my place."Mom, we are dating!" I wrapped my hand around his shoulder while pulling him close to me. "Hmm?" Julian coughed and shared a look with me while clearing his throat. Julian blinked his eyes while looking at me with wide eyes before giving me a look: "OKAY! OKAY! OK-OKAY!" "What?" My mother sounded while looking back and forth between me and Julian."Yes, Mom, we like each other, and we are dating while knowing to learn about each other!" I said with a smile while tightening my grip around his shoulder. "Oh my gosh!" She sounded while looking at me with an incredible smirk around his lips wh
~Merry POV~I got lost in my thoughts while staring at Julian from head to toe.His messy hair makes him even more attractive.His green, piercing eyes are incredibly attractive.I could not help but notice his large fingers stroking his hair, and at the same time, his biceps moved, revealing the shape of his muscles.Julian is explaining business tricks to me, but I am staring at him with lustful eyes.I could not stop thinking about having sex with him for the first time.My eyes rolled down to his hips as I remembered the spicy night when he pulled his boxer down and his erection popped out against my face, choking me down to my throat.I sucked my lower lip, remembering the warmth of his shape and taste on my skin.When his large and thick erection thrusts inside my vagina, breaking my holes, I am going to scream at the top of my lungs, for sure.Everything about him: power and dominance."Are you hearing me?" He snapped his finger, jolting me out of my trance."Yes," I exclaimed.
~Merry POV~"Alright, Vic, are you ready to meet our mother?" I moved my brow while looking at her."No!" She gave a denied nod. "Why?" Along with me, Justin and Julian screamed together while making a sound.I didn't expect her to say, "NO!" to my mother.I am not sure what is going through her mind.I shared a look with Julian and then Justin before looking back at Victoria."I thought you must be feeling excited to meet your mother. But don't tell me, you are scared of meeting her!" He parted his hand, and the frustration in his eyes was palpable.He was more frustrated than me about Victoria saying no."I am just not prepared. I was separated from her for decades.""Look, meeting someone like me, Victoria, is different!""But you people are saying that I will meet her using Merry's identity.""Merry is very different from me. I am an introvert, whereas she is an extrovert."Justin showed me some of her videos; she was a professional fighter. But I don't encourage the violence and
~Merry POV~"JULIAN, SOMEONE IS HERE FOR YOU." When my mother screamed, I looked at Julian."Who came to see Julian in this city?" A question crossed my mind."Who have you scheduled to meet with?" I inquired while looking at him. He did not say anything to me and turned back to walk down the hall."What is the deal with his silence, dude?" I followed him, trying to match his pace.A delivery boy was standing right outside the door, holding two packs of bouquets.Julian signed the paper and took the flower bouquets into his hands. On the other hand, the delivery boy turned back while making his way out."What is happening here?" I couldn't take my eyes off the beautiful flower bouquets.Julian shared a look with me, and many gestures were running through his eyes. "THIS IS FOR YOU!" He turned one of the flower bouquets towards my mother while making her look at him with wide eyes."FOR ME?" She confirmed as she pointed her finger at herself and looked at Julian.He nodded while hold
~Julian POV~We came out of the shopping mall, and I told my driver to put all the shopping bags inside the car.On the other hand, she requested a walk, and I agreed because I did not want to upset her on our date.The driver is following us behind, keeping a close distance.I looked down at my shoulder; she wrapped her hand around it, smiling and speaking without regard for others in the world.She is discussing the location and stores around every corner while sharing her experiences over time.I could not help but look at her eyes, nose, and lips—she was stunning. She is not wearing makeup on her skin, despite the fact that it glows as bright as the sun.I laughed with a thought. She introduced me to her mother as a boyfriend.I am still not sure how this came to her mind—introduce me in place of her boyfriend and accept her blessings for us.It was an excellent idea, without a doubt. We are a real couple, but she was always sad that we did not have her mother's blessing.Whatever
~Merry POV~A knock filled the air, grabbing our attention. I am cutting the vegetables while assisting my mother."I will check!" She tapped her hand on my shoulder as she moved to open the door.She opened the door and began talking to someone, capturing my attention."Oh, it's Julian's man!" I said. "Hello, Queen!" He bowed his head. I couldn't help but jump from my place while making my way to meet him. "What brings you here?" I inquired."Boss, instruct me to send you this." He moved the box in his hand before giving it to me. "Okay, thank you." "Have a lovely day, queen!" He bowed his head and turned back while dashing out. "What?" I looked at her."Do Julian's employees call you Queen?" She inquired, grabbing my attention and forcing me to look at her.I cleared my throat, and I could not help but nod in response, biting my lips."Nice!" My mother laughed and tapped her hand on my shoulder."I will do the rest of the cooking; take your time and discover your gift." She w
~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
