~Merina Pov~ I felt guilty when he had angrily left, so I stood up to follow him after thinking about it, I just wanted to reassure him that I meant no harm and just wanted him to be happy but who knew I would see him chatting happily with his Micca? I looked at him speechlessly and decided to go back as its seems he doesn't need my words. I closed the door and rested my back on it, my head was blank and I couldn't think of anything but—Why do I feel disappointed? Why am I angry? I closed my eyes deeply then I heard a knock on the door and I just knew it was Adams. “Merina, what's going on? Open the door, will you?” His gentle voice which seemed not angry anymore sounded outside the door and for a moment I wanted to open the door, but I held back.Minutes passed and I thought he had left from the silence outside the door, so I stood up and walked towards the bed and leaned on the bedpost with my legs up and my hands hugging it to my chest.I looked startled on seeing the door ope
~Adams Pov ~ “What about Micca? What will you do about her?” I looked at her in confusion, her question sounded strange and I had to move back to look at her. “What does Micca have to do with us? And what should I do about her?” I asked with furrowed brows. She pulsed her lips and looked down, but I wouldn't let this go, I needed an answer this time, so I raised her head and looked into her eyes, “Don't avoid me! Look at me while I talk, Merina!” I said still looking at her. Her lips trembled, “You are with her right? I won't be a mistress to you. No matter how low I have become, I won't become a mistress.” She said powerfully and this time I was surprised she was looking into my eyes deeply with determination. I looked at her and tilted my head in thought, and then it came to me, now I understand what she meant by that word. Merina thought I was with Micca? I looked at her serious little face and went wild in laughter, I laughed so hard and almost tumbled on her and when I rai
~Micca Pov~ I sat in front of my Madam Nart, Adams Mother calmly as I watched her cuss loudly and bitterly. I didn't comfort her but just looked at her with a face filled with pity but only I knew the the anger I was feeling inside. I watched her shout in anger and I felt angry and frustrated. I had used all my strength to convince her to come to Adams’s place, though I had thought Adams would be at the office but it was shocking to find him at home and kissing that girl, outside without feeling any shame. She had caused my Adams to change! Because the Adams I know would never shamelessly kiss a woman in public and had always been a cold and elegant person it was that woman who had deceived him with her vixen-like look. Though I was really angry looking at them kissing but more than that, I had been happy because I had wanted to see that vixen getting disgraced. I had always known Madam Nart had always been greedy and always wanted someone of the same status with their family, w
~Adams Pov ~My heart went into shock upon hearing her words. I knew Merina was smart but I never knew she understood her condition. I had told them not to tell her anything, especially the therapist, but it seems I still am not able to keep it away from her. I swallowed and didn't know what else to say, I watched her wiggle out of the blanket and then stood up to leave but I held her arm, I sat up too and moved to hug her from the back. I bit her her on her shoulder and hearing the sound of pain from her mouth, my eyes turned dark, “So you know pain? So why are you making me feel a headache? Huh?” I asked and seeing her want to turn around, I held her tightly and gritted my teeth frustratedly. “I hate that you make me feel this way! I hate that you make me lose control and when I am ready to be with you, you throw me some excuses and want to run away!” I complained with frustration and bit her again like I wanted to eat her whole. “Adams…” She called me so gentle and loving makin
~Merina Pov ~I looked at Adams's stunned face when I said the words. I know what I said doesn't sound good, especially at this moment, but I just have to say it. I don't want to experience being betrayed again. My mother had faced the same and I have also faced the same betrayal and I wouldn't face the same again.“Merina..” My heart became unstable at his groan but I gritted my teeth and looked at him eyeball to eyeball. I wanted him to know how serious I was, and even if he got angry at me, I wouldn’t deny my words. I said what I said! “You are talking about breaking up when we have just started, am I that bad in your eyes? To Hate the old and love the new?” He asked and this time it was my turn to be stunned. My lips twitched but I forced it down, “Who knows?” I asked with my eyebrow raised.“You..!” He glared at me and gritted his teeth exasperatedly, then sighed with helplessness and leaned down to take my lips in his again and forced a kiss on me. “Hmmpf..!” I hit his chest
~Adams Pov~ My eyes narrowed in suspicion on hearing the words of my housekeeper, I unconsciously turned towards Merina and saw her standing in front of the washroom with a blank face and looking down at her toe. I smiled at her reaction to Micca’s name but more than that I felt happy as this meant she also had feelings for me. I turned to look at the door, “Go back!” I ordered, then sat up calmly. I looked at Merina who still had her head bowed, I frowned unhappily seeing her not coming closer to me. I had told her Micca is a younger sister to me and even my family sees her as an adopted daughter, but it's she still has concerns about me. I beckoned, “Come here!” I ordered calmly. I watched her pout her lips then looked at her me before her face returned to the usual calmness, then she walked to me indifferently. I smiled at her feigh calmness and when she was closer, I took her hand and kissed her palm, “Do you want to go with me to talk to her?” I asked simply. She stood
~Adams Pov~ She looked at me then turned to look at the stairs, before pointing with a sneer on her face, “Because of her?!” I sharply turned to look at the place she was pointing at and I was stunned to see Merina standing confusingly on the top of the stairs staring at us. I looked at her then beckoned to her, “Come here!” I said then watched her climb down diverting my attention. I watched her hesitatingly climb down the stairs, and when she reached the stairs, she stood still and embarrassingly scratched her head before looking at me with nervous eyes, seeing her not moving, I walked towards her and hugged her to myself. I walked her towards Micca, then looked at the trembling Micca with a cold face that brought him so much shock, “Meet Merina, My Woman!” I declared then turned to look at Merina with a gentle gaze meeting her surprised eyes, I chuckled then leaned down to peck her nose. I know she would be confused about why I was introducing her to Micca again but I wanted
~Micca Pov~ Immediately I walked out of Adams' home and entered my car, the calm smile on my face dropped and became pale. “BANG!” My hands hit the car wheels in rage. I felt humiliated, I felt my blood boiling in rage. “It's all that bitch fault! Adams has never gotten this angry with me and he doesn't scold me. But he had showed his ruthlessness to me today!” I gritted my teeth remembering his cold eyes that sent chills down my spine. I do not doubt that if I hadn't changed at that moment he would have sent me out of this house and that would be the last time I gain access to his house. I am aware of Adams' Ruthlessness, he never showed mercy to anything he saw as a threat, which is why I have always been careful when it comes to our relationship, and I have never revealed the feelings I have for him as I know I will be rejected. My eyes turned ruthless as I drove out to the road. When I saw the group chat among friends of Adams saying he brought a lady, I thought it might
~Micca Pov~ I got a call from Mark telling me to dress up as his man would be coming to pick me up. Though confused thinking about that weird man, I can't comprehend his thinking, but I think he might be taking me on a date. I sighed tiredly as I walked out of the bathroom after doing my usual routine. I had been staying in Mark’s house for the past few days after I had passed out in the bar and according to him, I had called him to come to pick him up before I passed out from drinking, and though I found it hard to believe, there was no other truth.I put on a very tight trouser showing my full curves and long legs then wore a crop top that showcased my smooth belly, and after that, I wore my heels. All these are clothes that have been prepared in his place—Pervert!I heard the sound of horns announcing that the car which was coming to pick me up was there. I went down the stairs and without responding to the maid who greeted me, I left the house and walked toward the car waiting.
~Adams Pov~ I took out my phone and called Liam, my friend who is part of the country security agency but he works in secret and owns his people. The call was picked up fast, “Where are you? We are in your basement!” He said in his usual calm tone.I looked at the damaged car at the side of the road and the police and crowd who were looking at it and trying to see if someone was inside. My eyes were red as I narrowed my eyes at the scene, “I had an accident. Come pick me at—” I hung up the call after I told him where I was. “Boss, do you think the trailer driver had truly lost control?” Sean, my assistant who had gotten injured on his shoulder said with gritted teeth. I turned to look at him with my cold eyes but I wasn't bothered about that question at the moment and the only thing on my mind was if Merina was safe as I realized everything was getting tougher. The trailer which was said to have lost control and rushed toward my car was strange and it's very obvious it was aiming
~Merina Pov~ I woke up to a splash of water on my face. I shivered from the coldness of the water and then looked around immediately in shock, but I saw the faces of men who looked strange and people I had never seen.I looked at them blankly before remembering the situation I was in at this point. I had been kidnapped! I swallowed hard and looked at the men who looked at me like I was some pieces of garbage. The last time I had been kidnapped, though I had been really scared but not to this extent. These people look ruthless and professional, it can be seen from the bloodthirsty aura emitting from them. “You are awake?!” one of them asked with a husky voice but it didn't sound like a question to me but like he was asking if I was ready to die.My body shivered as I looked down and moved backward. My butt shifted away from them but I was surprised no one said a thing or moved to drag me back, but this didn't bring me relief but dread. As I moved back in horror, my back hit somethi
~Adams pov~“RING!” I raised my hand and stopped the presentation going on in the meeting, I narrowed my eyes sharply on seeing the name on the phone. I picked it up without hesitation.“Hello!” I said coldly.“Boss, I lost Madam!” My brows furrowed in confusion as I looked at the wall blankly, “What do you mean?” I asked sharply with an eyebrow raised.“I’m sorry Boss—” “Tell me what's going on!” I interrupted him impatiently, my eyes glowing red. With his words, I knew things were not okay and something had gone wrong!“I had stayed at a distance as you had ordered but then Madam is gone! I looked around but she was gone. And I also saw her phone laying on the floor.” Kel, the bodyguard I had ordered to look after Merina said nervously.My head went bang at his words, my heartbeat went erratic, and for a moment I became still, then it became clear. My eyes widened as I hit the table with my palm producing a loud sound and giving the workers in the room a scare but I didn't care w
~Merina Pov~ Sitting on the chair in the office of Secretary Sonia, the secretary of the Music Association, my eyes were fixed, to be precise, on the simple ring on my finger. I smiled gently as I and Adams had exchanged rings days ago with unsaid promises. I still can't believe I am married and everything seems like a movie but I know it is real, everything is real! I chuckled again and brought my hand to my lips then dropped a kiss on my fingers. “Sorry for keeping you waiting, Miss Merina!” The voice startled me, but after seeing the person I calmed down immediately and let out a smile. “You can call me, Merina,” I said and shook hands with her before sitting down. Miss Sonia smiled gently and then nodded before giving me an ID Card and a document, “Please read through this and if you are satisfied, then we can go ahead with the signing. Everyone who joins the association has to go through this. And that ID card is your pass to the association and it shows your qualificatio
~Micca Pov~ I picked up the phone immediately upon seeing the caller. How much I had been expecting her calls but this old woman hadn't called me and I didn't want to seem desperate which might annoy her. “Hello, Aunty! How have you been?” I asked in a soft and obedient tone. “How have I been? I have been terrible! How could you be so relaxed when I am suffering here?! Come out and meet me in the coffee shop nearest to the spa we went to last time, be there in 20 minutes!” She ordered in an arrogant tone that set me off. I looked at the phone after the call got hung up, “What the hell is wrong with her?! And what's with her tone?” I thought to myself but then remembering her words, I couldn't help but think deeply. The only reason that can get her all vexed is Merina’s matter. Wait! Has she found a way out? Or she didn't succeed with the hints I had given her? Darn it! I cussed and paced around in my room. If it's that reason then she might be calling me to settle the score. “
~Adams Pov~ “Adams! What are you doing?!” I looked at her coldly with my fists clenched tightly. I walked closer to her and she moved back with a scared face. Her face was so pale and I knew I had scared her so much but if I kept enduring all this, then Merina would suffer as I knew I couldn't always be with her every hour. “Adams! Do you want to hit me?! Even if I am not the one who gave birth to you I have always taken care of you since you were a baby!” Mum cried out as she bit her lips and looked at me. I was heartless. “What is wrong with arranging your marriage?! Why can't you give me that honor? You treat me like this because of a woman? I understand…”She said, then turned to look at my father with a tearful face. “Is this how you and your son want to pay me back? I have been devoted to this family for decades and all I got is insults and pains from the son I had raised.” She covered her mouth and cried harder making me speechless, “If only I had refused to take care
~Adams Pov~ I pulled Merina to myself immediately after we got outside. My hands were trembling as I held her closer and placed her head on my chest, my ears were red and I could feel my heart throbbing though I wondered if she could hear it. “Finally!” I breathed a sigh of relief and hugged her tightly. Merina pushed me away gently and then looked at the certificate she was holding. She looked stunned and in disbelief, then she slowly looked at me and tilted her head in confusion, “Married? I’m married?” She asked with her eyes filled with innocence making me want to dote more on her. I chuckled then leaned in to kiss her forehead. She looked at me with a bright eye and looked at me with nervousness as if asking for answers. She looked at me and pouted her lips and shook my arms, “Huh?!” I couldn’t help but bite her puffy cheeks then nodded with a smile, “Hello, Mrs. Nart!” I greeted her with a proud smile and then patted her hair dotingly. Merina looked at me stunned then sh
~Merina Pov~ My heart trembled at his question. I clenched the pen tightly and almost broke it but it left a mark on the paper. I don't know what is going on with me but I suddenly feel scared. Doubt filled my heart and I suddenly felt scared of getting tied to someone. “Do I know what the future holds? What if he betrays me like how my father did to my mother? What if I end up like my mother?” I gritted my teeth as I knew my thoughts were getting vicious but I still couldn't stop myself from thinking about it. I swallowed hard and pressed the pen on the paper but then I slammed it down and stood up then ran out without looking at others. I couldn't hear a thing, it was like my mind was in closure and my head was banging me. My mind was filled with the image of my mum dying. Even if I was young, I could still remember it vividly. The way her hand turned cold and how she died with her eyes opened and I could still see my image in her eyes. The picture of a family of three appea
