I scrolled down and clicked on the videos and pictures of me. I held my chest and gasped seeing it was not a normal picture but a picture of me during my painful sessions. There were videos of me at my father’s house, in the hospital I had frequented before, and so on. My body trembled as I looked at them, “How could it be?! How could it be like this? Who did this?!” I yelled loudly and angrily. I looked up immediately, “Is this why you hide my phone? And—” I stopped and gulped, “How far has this gone? And when did this wge thing begin?!” I asked the aunty who only knew how to cry. “I—I…
~Merina Pov~ I hugged Adams after the love-making session. He had been so gentle and to be honest, I had wanted him to go rough and hard but no matter how much I pushed or seduced him, he had been able to regain control and I found that so annoying but also gratifying. Adams's self-control when it comes to caring about me is something I will always feel amazed about. I scratched his chest and kissed the left side where his heart was located. Then I heard him chuckle, I narrowed my eyes mischievously, then leaned down to nibble his nipple, causing him to gasp and his hold on me tightened. “Merina…don't do this.” He scolded pitifully and I had to leave him knowing he was about to snap out of his control. I looked up and kissed his chin. I didn't know why I was this affectionate but I just wanted to cherish this man who had love and cherish me. He has kept me safe and healthy and now it's my turn to give him the love he deserves because he is worth more. “So, what have you been u
~Adams Pov~I have been with Merina in the hospital these past few days and I have been taking care of her and making her feel assured. I noticed she had been feeling uneasy for the past few days and most times she had pains in her head, but I was told it was the surgery, and she would be okay and its a gradual process but I am assured of the result after the surgery. Her tumor had been removed and all she needs is healing.I worked on my laptop taking care of work that has been left out for days. Liam had left for days and I knew he might have gone on a mission so I didn't disturb him and will pay him back when I see him and as for Micca and Mark…. I looked at the report sent to me and narrowed my eyes ruthlessly, then picked up my phone and called the number of my assistant who picked up instantly.“Boss!” He called out but I was silent as my eyes were fixed on the moving shares, “Sean…” I called out silently and calmly but people who were closer to me knew this was a calm before t
~Micca Pov~ I sat trembling on the couch in the house of Mark. This was my first time being here as the place we had always met was his side house but it seems this was his main house. It was large and comfortable but I didn't have the thrill to admire it at the moment. My heart was not at peace, I wanted to go home but then I was stopped by Mark who wouldn't let me go. I wanted to go back to my country and to my parent's house but it seemed impossible. The thoughts of Adams's angry fave haunt me so much and I haven't been able to sleep. Mark had been going out and I hadn't seen him since the day before, though I knew he was trying to do something, big I don't care as long as it solves all these. “Miss, dinner is ready and set on the table.” I jumped at the unexpected voice of someone. I looked up and saw it was the newly hired maid, I looked at her confused face and felt so much irritation. I stood up and rushed toward her then threw a resounding slap on her face. “Miss!”
~Merina Pov~ I felt so uncomfortable, it felt like I was thrown into a burning building one minute, and in another, I was thrown into a Cold cellar. All I see is darkness and even if I try, I still can’t open my eyes. I wonder where I am and what has happened but what I want the most is to solve my problem. I couldn’t move but I was aware of the movement outside and I kept drifting in and out of consciousness. At one moment I felt okay and cool but in another, all I could feel was cold. This went on for so long that I couldn’t count but I held on. I could feel someone touching and cleaning me at every moment and that alone gives me the determination to wake up. Suddenly I felt something Stab me. My head felt so heavy and if I had some strength in me, I would really love to bang my head on the wall and stop this pain but then I heard voices and loud and urgent footsteps before I lost consciousness. ********** I felt the sudden urge to open my eyes so I tried doing so. After s
~Liam Pov~ I stood far away looking at Adams who looked like his soul had gone out of his body and was replaced by another dark soul. This was the first time I had seen my friend like it and I must say, I am still in shock. I have known Adams for years and though he was not cold to the extent of not jovial he was cold at heart and not beyond his heart. But now I see my friend worried crazy about a lady, it amazes me and at the same time, I do not want to see him this way again. After watching him from afar threatening the doctors, I walked forward and toward them, as I knew if I didn't save the doctors I had called personally, then with this behavior of his, they might change their minds or worse still, be too scared when performing the surgery and might even make mistakes. “Adams, he is a reliable person and I have found him personally,” I whispered in his ear. He looked at me then nodded reassuringly and without saying a word he turned back to sit on the chair outside. I l
~Adams Pov~ I held the unconscious Merina in my arms tightly. Her face was pale and white. I removed my hand from the back of her head after I felt something wet in my hand. I looked at my hand in shock, then I turned her around and that was when I saw her bleeding head. My mind went blank for a moment then after coming back to my senses I realized I was delaying her—She needs to be treated!“Merina…please hold on, okay? Hold on as hubby will take you to the hospital. Don't leave me.” I muttered in panic with red eyes that were filled with tears and so much fear. Who had said Adams doesn’t cry? That's because I hadn't seen what could make me shed tears, but now the person who had made me shed tears with fear was in my arms, looking like she was about to die. Merina is my woman! The woman I want to spend the rest of my life with, I can't lose her! I can't! My eyes flashed with determination and craziness, I stood up with her in my arms, and with the only thought of saving this woma
~Adams Pov~ I watched Micca coldly as she stammered. I looked at her anxious face and suddenly felt heartbroken. This was the sister I had taken care of since she was a baby. I had trusted her and gave her everything needed but she betrayed me. I shook my head and then pushed her away calmly. What else can she say? Would she say she hadn't collaborated with the enemy to attack me? I had my suspicions, but I had confirmed it when I saw Mark keep looking to the side and I had said those words on purpose. “Micca! What the hell are you doing here?!” Liam's voice sounded so loud as if he had just come back to his senses. Micca turned to look at Liam and gulped nervously, “Liam, I… it's not what you think, okay?” She said then moved to touch Liam who glared at her coldly stopping her from touching him. “Not what we think? Micca…” I stopped then walked toward her, “You take me for a fool?!” I asked coldly. I looked at her sarcastically as she moved back but then Mark came in between u
~Micca Pov~ I watched the confrontation between Adams and Mark in my hideout. Merina had been put in the other room which was hidden behind when we heard the sounds of gunfire outside and I had immediately hidden myself. I swallowed hard seeing the tense situation, but I still didn’t want to show myself to Adams as that would make him hate me more. I knew I had done a lot but I still didn’t want him to hate me. I still have that awareness that Merina is married to Adams now, so touching her will make him hate me so much. “Where is Merina?!” Adams asked again with his chilly gaze that sent me shivering. I looked toward Mark who sat down on the chair, his aura though cold but he still couldn’t match Adams's aura. This made me doubt if he could win and make Adams do what he said. “Do you think we have her with us? Mr Nart, don’t be arrogant!” Mark said playfully then he suddenly stood up and dodged to the side then I heard the loud— “BANG!” I fell and looked at the ground in fe
~Merina Pov~I stepped inside the house, the envelope clutched so tightly in my hand that its corners pierced through my palm. My breaths came out shallow and quick. My mood was so low that even now I could not force a false smile; the weight of the diagnosis felt like a stone pressed against my chest. I was so afraid.I had replayed this moment in my head a thousand times of how I would ask-how maybe, just maybe- they would care enough to help save me. But they would, wouldn't they? It's just a little money right? I had made more than that for this family.The low hum of laughter came from the living room—so warm, so carefree that I had to stop walking. I frowned. "Are we celebrating something?" I muttered to myself. The house had that kind of happiness a few times over the past years, though it had not let me in. Stepping inside, what I saw with my eyes made my breath rub right out of my chest. Never was I ever that shocked in my entire life. I really did, during that instance ...
