~Adams pov~

I had been working up late when I heard the loud groan that came out from Marina's room. At first, I had thought it was nothing, but then the groans turned out to be shrill cries, and it was persistent.

"What the hell has happened? Was Merina okay?" I thought as I immediately raced to her room to see and know what was wrong.

I knocked, but her increased cries rigged at my heart, and I barged in only to see her whimpering with pillows covering her ears, which made my heart go into panic.

I looked at the window and saw that it was open, so I quickly closed it and then rushed to her side.

"Merina? Are you okay?" I asked, my voice trembling.

She didn't respond, and instead, she continued to whimper, her body shaking uncontrollably. I tried to comfort her, patting her back, but none of this was helping; instead, her body was burning hot, and she was shivering violently. This was definitely not a cold; her body was in severe pain, and it looked like it was on fire.

I grew frustr

    ~Merina's POV ~I had a mild headache upon waking, but it wasn't anything to worry about. I awoke to the feeling of a hand gripping my waist. I was startled and jumped. I recalled all that happened between us the previous night. My face flushed. I was shocked to see that I'd shared my most vulnerable thoughts with him. This was something I didn't want to share with anyone or anybody. It showed my weakness, and just like that, I had let my guard down and made him see me as a weak and vulnerable person.I was always quiet and bottled up about my feelings, nobody knew, and I never shared it with anyone, but after sharing it with Adams, I felt lightweight for the first time in a long while. It was my first time sharing something as delicate as that with anyone.I traced his jawline and his cheek, joined with my hands softly and slowly, carefully so that I wouldn't wake him up.His eyes have bags underneath and I could tell from the way his face was curved up in tiredness that he was tire

    ~Merina Pov~I was shocked when I heard him tell the driver to take us to his office. "But…but…," I protested weakly, "I can't go to your office."He looked at me, with a stern expression on his face. "You're coming with me," he said firmly."But…" I tried to argue, but he cut me off."Don't even think about it, you're coming with me and that's final." He said with a voice that allowed no excuse."No, you can't just force me to go with you against my will. That's not how it's done." I insisted but he clicked his tongue loudly."Who said I wouldn't? You're under my control and I can do whatever I want. So, my decision is final. And there's nothing you'll say that'll change my mind." He bragged proudly.I slumped my shoulders in defeat, squinting my eyes sadly, "I don't agree with this." I added curtly."Tell him to stop the car and see if he would." He said arrogantly.I knew better than to argue with him. I knew the driver wouldn't dare disobey him. I just huffed in annoyance and turn

"Is everything alright?" she asked, her eyes filled with concern."No," I lied, "It's nothing. Just have your rest." I persuaded her."You don't look alright," she insisted. "Are you tired?" She asked again looking nervous and worried. But then I scoffed, "I'm fine and better but you need to have your rest."She smiled softly, and I had to resist the urge to pull her into my arms.

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!"

    ~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

    ~Merina Pov~The cold night air folded itself around me like a permanent grasp as I walked aimlessly through empty streets. My chest hurt, my breaths were shallow, and each step seemed to have become a task of greater effort to take. I held the test result in my hand, but it had been crumpled so badly. My mind was at a gallop with a thousand questions, none of which I had answers to.How had things come to this? How had my life fallen so utterly apart?Memories came rushing back, uninvited and merciless. I was such a bright and carefree kid who loved singing my heart out and the only encouragement I needed was my mother's warm smile. I had won little awards for singing and playing the piano, for just about anything of merit. As I grew up, the world seemed full of possibilities.But then, my mom got sick. I still remember how weak she held my hand and the whispered promises that it was all going to be alright. But it wasn't. She died. And With her went all light from my world, or

    ~Adam's POV~I looked into the girl's willful face, where the pale moonlight was planting dark shadows over her cheeks. Who in this world was she, and what had bought her up here?Her disheveled appearance, together with the bitter smell of alcohol on her, made me narrow my eyes. A prostitute? My lips curled in disgust. Whoever had drugged me thought they were very clever, sending me someone so young and presentable. But why send me drunk? It made no sense.I glared at her, my patience wearing thin. "Don't say I didn't warn you," I growled, my voice sharp as a blade, though even to my ears the warning sounded as empty as any such threat.She looked up at me with glassy eyes, lips parted, and I didn't give her the chance to answer. I was already moving, then drew her closer to me.I cupped her face, and the softness of her skin where my hands lay tempted me, as I crushed my lips on hers. The skin beneath her, impossibly soft beneath my fingers, there was a flicker of something wild a

    ~Adams Pov~Sunlight seeped into the room, warm and relentless, yanking me from my light sleep. My head throbbed vaguely, a residue of whatever had been dropped into my drink last night, but it was nothing compared to the turmoil in my mind.The events of last night played in my mind like a lunatic dream. The girl, Merina, stumbling drunkenly into my room, her idiot stubbornness, her soft lips…I let out a harsh breath and ran a hand over my face as I sat up. The room was silent now except for the soft sound of her breathing. I rolled onto my side to look at her more fully, my head twisted toward her as I watched her stir under the covers. Her hair was a tangle, her face smothered in sleep, but something in that pose seemed tranquil, lulling, to dispel chaos she had stirred with her.She stirred, eyelashes batting open to reveal cloudy eyes. She looked around the strange room, momentarily disoriented, and then it was as if something else clicked into place inside of her, perhaps the c

    ~Merina Pov~I felt uneasy the moment I walked in. I’d never been anywhere so luxurious. It felt…wrong, somehow. But when Adam took my hand, I felt calm and less nervous, and I tried to control my panting heartbeat. I hated to admit it, but being with him brought me a kind of peace that I didn't understand.We moved further into the restaurant, I think we moved away from the main room and inside the private space that looked like it had been organized for us.Then I saw his friends. My uneasiness came back as his three friends stared at us while we went to the restaurant. I immediately started regretting my decision to have followed him here in the first place.But Adam brought me to them and calmly introduced me to all of them. They seemed nice and welcomed me warmly, but I still couldn't relax. Probably because it was my first time being to such an important place and occasion and worst of all sitting down and being surrounded by not just strangers but rich men. The aura around th

    ~Adams Pov~My heart clenched at her questions. What has she experienced for her to be this unconfident about herself? Her low esteem is at its lowest, making me want to pamper her and show her she is worth a lot.I moved closer to her shocked self and held her shoulder, then made sure her eyes were fixed on me, “You are not an embarrassment to me, Merina. Stop thinking so low of yourself. So, go dress up, you are coming with me.” I said then pushed her forward a bit, but she stood still making me raise my eyebrow in confusion.Looking at her, still in a daze, I smiled a bit and then cleared my throat, which got her to come back to her senses.She looked at me deeply, "What do you mean by I'm not an embarrassment?" Merina asked, stepping up towards me. She sighed and continued, "You, of all people, know how sick I am. I look and feel fragile. I mean it's obvious just by looking at me."My hands secretly clenched as I tried to control my feelings. My heart ached at her questions. What

I can't?” He asked as he raised his eyebrow and looked at me challengingly.I clenched my fist to my side and my heart which had felt warm suddenly grew cold. I hate that everyone doesn’t think about my privacy, they intrude like I am worth nothing. My eyes went red and I swallowed hard then looked at him coldly and uttered, “Huh…” Then move to leave without waiting for him to give any response. Then I felt my hand being held and the way he drew me back to his side, and then hugged my waist, “Why are you angry? Are you angry I know about him?” He asked with a frown on his face which made me glare at him.“I am angry because you all go around checking into people's lives without permission! You all don't care if I want that at all, and I hate that!” I yelled back and then pushed him away but he was too strong for me to push so I just

I jacked my hand away from the person and sat up immediately as I looked around the room when I heard a familiar voice.“Hey! It's fine. It's just the doctor, calm down…” Adams held my cheeks as he assured me then turned my head to the other side and that was when I saw a female doctor, holding a syringe, and that calmed me down a lot. My face turned red with embarrassment as I looked at the shocked doctor. I knew my reaction must have scared her. “Sorry…” I said quietly.She waved her hands and shook her head, “It's fine. I mean no harm. I am your private doctor, invited by Mr Adams." She introduced herself with a smile on her face.My eyes widened as I turned to look at Adams whose eyes were fixed on me making me embarrassed when I remembered the things we did.
