~Adams POV~

I froze. That tiny voice…Merina. I knew it was her. Panic and nervousness twisted in my gut. Had she heard our conversation? I stood up slowly and looked at her at the entrance of the door. She was standing there, looking dazed, like she was still half-asleep. Maybe even sleepwalking. Relief washed over me. She was adorable, her eyes half-closed, her hair a mess. My heart softened.

"Phew!" I breathed a sigh of relief.

I was glad she didn't hear us, or it would have been a very bad one.

Merina is very fragile, and she doesn't need to know such bad news, or she wouldn't take it lightly. She had been beating herself up the whole time about how she was sick and near death and it was only because of my intervention that she had been able to control her resolve.

I walked over to her and gently pulled her into a hug. Then I scooped her up in my arms and carried her to the couch in my office. She snuggled into my lap, resting her head on my chest, and then she fell asleep

I was getting late and wouldn't want to miss the meeting that I have been scheduling for over two months now. I have been trying to acquire land abroad for the past four months which has proven to be so hard but I am glad it was becoming successful and all I need is to successfully sign the contract with the other party who wants to sell their land to me. I just hope it goes successfully as the land is important.I went through the information of the people I was about to meet through my email again to grasp their character. One of the reasons for my successful career is because of my carefulness.

    ~Adams Pov~“What do you mean?” I stood confused at the word of my assistant, not understanding what was going on. I don't see how that was a problem. I don't care who represents the other side as long as the person doesn't go against their words. Sean looked at me with awkwardness but there was no time to waste so I ignored him and took my suit jacket before leaving the office.I walked to the meeting room with a serious look on my face, and seeing the others already seated I walked towards them with a calm face.“Hello, President Nart. I have heard a lot about you.” The lady who seemed to be the one leading the group and who Sean had talked about stood up and stretched her hand forward with a smile on her face. “Hello, Miss…?” I raise my eyebrow in question. “Oh! I am Linda Smallwood, manager of the Smallwood enterprise.” She said with a proud smile on her face then stretched out her hand again, “Sorry for the impromptu visit. My father fell ill and we didn't want to delay Presid

    ~Merina Pov~I didn't find it boring sitting alone in the quiet room. I am used to being alone so I find it normal. I had used the medicine given to me by Adams after I ate this morning and since then I had sat down alone next to the window as I watched the sunshine and the garden.I sat looking without any movement, without any thoughts. I just sat there looking out of the window with a clear mind, until a knock on the door shook me. I wasn't able to react as no one would come to my room to check up on me or call me but then I remembered things had changed and I was not in the Downtown home but Adams. I gulped when I heard the knock again, “Miss, are you okay? Are you sleeping? Can you please say a word?” My chest tightened as I realized someone had truly come to check on me and asked me if I was okay.Listening to her pacing worriedly, I realized I was supposed to answer the woman and calm her down so I jumped down from the chair I was sitting in and rushed to the door, then flung

    ~Merina Pov ~I looked at the little pink piano placed at the side of the small playhouse in a daze. I wished I could touch it, but I knew it was rude as I had no idea who owned it. I sighed and looked at it in a daze then moved to walk away with my head bowed but suddenly I stopped again, I couldn’t stop The longing in my heart.“It will be okay to touch it a little right? Just a little. They wouldn’t blame me, right?” I asked muttering to myself then as if I had gained confidence, I walked back to the playhouse and walked quietly to the piano.I looked at the beautiful pink piano and then touched it after hesitating for some time. I looked around and seeing no one I walked to the little chair and sat down then I looked at the piano like I wanted to dig my eyes into it. My heart couldn’t start beating faster the more I looked at it, “Mum…” I muttered softly as my eyes watered with my lips trembled.How can I not be amazed? This was exactly my type of piano, my very first piano whic

    ~Adams Pov ~I felt Merina jump at the yell of Lucas and then remember she was not used to my brother who has always been dramatic. I turned around and glared at him, making him flinch. Then he held his lips panicky but his eyes kept looking at me pleadingly.I ignored him and looked at the pace they were looking at before I interrupted them. I furrowed my brows at the piano which had shifted and the little pink chair which had fallen to the ground. I felt Merina let out a shallow sighed then I heard her tiny voice, “I am sorry.” She said then bowed her head before removing her hand from mine.I frowned in confusion, then I remembered what Lucas had said when I came in—She was playing the piano. I raised her head and then held her face in between my hands, making sure she fixed her eyes on me. “What are you sorry for? For playing the piano?” I asked and I saw her eyes shake with embarrassment as she tried lowering her head more but I didn't let her. “Why are you looking down, hmm?

    ~Adams Pov~ “Scam!” I yelled at Lucas with annoyance but it seemed he was determined to find out as he just kept staring pointedly at me which made me feel so irritated.“This darn boy!” I cussed under my breath then ignored him and opened my laptop again even if all I wanted to do was sleep at the moment.I heard him sigh and when I looked at him, his eyes blinked at me teasingly and I knew he was up to something. “Mum didn't know, right? And I don't think I have seen her in the upper class either.” I went rigid at his question but I controlled my emotions and remained indifferent, ignoring him as I continued to type on my system but even I didn't know what I was typing as I felt my heart clenched.My family is one of the aristocrats in the country and they believe in equal standing which I have never bothered with since It was none of my business. But now I find it suffocating, but still, there was no rule I couldn't bend. My eyes flashed with determination, Merina is mine and I w

    ~Merina Pov~I was stunned by his question, but I immediately shook my head. I lowered my head and chuckled, why would I want to go with him? Besides, does this man see me as his possession? Why do I have to be wherever he is? I breathed a sigh of relief and then gave him a small smile.“Are you sure?” He asked with his brow furrowed in a frown and I felt speechless. I turned to look at his brother and felt awkward about all this. To be honest, I have always felt overwhelmed by his attention and care and the fact that whenever he looks at me, I see his Possessiveness which makes me uncomfortable and also comfortable at the same time. The feelings are so confusing and tiring.“I-I am fine. You can go on your trip and I will be fine.” I replied then smiled before digging into my breakfast without looking up again.He raised his brow, then replied with a “Huh!” which confused me but I am glad he didn't ask again. ************I faced the mirror with an indifferent look then combed my

I didn't come to make a reservation but for the interview going on here for the position of pianist. I am a pianist.” I explained with a serious tone but he just kept looking at me with a confused face. Then his face lit up as if he understood what I was saying now, “Oh! Sorry, my bad…” He said scratching his head with an embarrassed smile he pointed at a place outside where I could see five people sitting around a table as they sipped from their cups and ate the snacks from the table elegantly, “Then you sit with them and refreshment will be brought to you. Those people are also here for the interview. I was confused because I hadn't seen your face on the internet and most of the people who come for the position of a pianist in the “Joeban Home.” are famous in

    ~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

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

    ~Adams Pov~ “NO!” What did she mean by she wouldn't be staying with me after getting married?! Then how should I continue to live after eating meat?! That's impossible, I wouldn't allow that. I glared at her daring her to repeat herself, but it seemed she had made up her mind as she only shook her head and looked at me like I was throwing a tantrum which made me speechless. “Adams, I wouldn't go back to that house after what had happened.” She said and looked at me with eyes filled with determination. “What if I buy a house and design it the way you want? We will make that our matrimonial home?” I asked gently hoping she would agree to my suggestion. Merina looked at me for a while and suddenly placed her legs on the floor and attempted to stand up but she wobbled and almost fell I was fast enough to catch her and stabilize her. She inhaled deeply and closed her eyes, and then a tear dropped from her eyes which baffled me. “Adams…You beast!” She spat out angrily and glared at
