Can I know what you all think? I just want to hear from you. Is it going well? Do you find it interesting?
~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
~Adams Pov~ I drove into my private parking lot in my company. I could already see Sean waiting anxiously Immediately I entered the company. I ignored my employer's nervous greeting and walked into the meeting room at a fast pace. My eyes were cold and ruthless as I scanned everybody standing in the room making them tremble in fear. I adjusted my suit jacket and sat down on my seat while looking at them all like a hawk who was ready to eat them raw. “Tell Me!” I ordered then sat up in seriousness. Sean walked to the front of the hall and everyone’s eyes followed him like he was the savior who could save them from me, but I could see the savior’s eyes trembling. Sean cleared his throat then fixed his laptop on the table, “We just realized the design which had been kept as a top secret has been stolen and we also heard the person has started working on it. Also, there is no way we can access the file anymore as I have found out that it has been deleted on every one of our syste
~Merina Pov~ Today was a rare day so I decided to walk around the neighborhood as u still haven't done that since I came here. I have always stayed indoors. I came out in a cute baggy hoodie and shorts, then paired it with sandals looking casual and neat then I packed my hair in a ponytail bit made sure to cover up the side of my face which is still under recovery, then I finished up with a face cap making sure to draw it down so it could cover up my face. I walked on the street and became confused seeing no one in this space. I shook my head as I remembered this place is also called the center of power and only the rich and powerful of the country can own land here and build a house. This place can be considered the focus of power and surely they wouldn't have the time to relax and stroll on the road like me. Adams lives in the center of this place and I know what that means but I am not bothered or concerned about how much he is worth, but more on if I would be a weakness to hi
~Micca Pov ~ “BANG!” I froze in my seat when I heard the sound of a car hitting mine. My mind went blank and when I came back to my senses, I felt my anger rise. I gritted my teeth in frustration then raised my head to glare at the opposite car that had collided with mine. Seeing the driver not coming down, I bit my lips in frustration but I still couldn't hold back my frustration so I pushed the door open and climbed out boldly. My heels clicked on the ground as I walked with anger towards the car, then knocked on the window rudely. I don't care what anyone thinks of my actions but all I know is…a way has been found to let out my anger. The window remained winded up, I pulsed my lips then smirked evilly, I bent down to remove my heels and that was when I heard the door being opened making me stop my movement, I looked up angrily but stopped in shock when I saw the face. My eyes widened in surprise, I looked at the car and the tall man standing in front of me who had an evil sm
Adams pov “Is everything ready?!” I asked Sean who nodded immediately. I arranged my suit then walked to the back of the car with one of the professional bodyguards sitting in the driver's seat and cars filled with my men who were armed following behind.I would have gone with Merina if she was here as people will be there with their plus one but the truth is, this auction is one of the most dangerous and lots of dealings will be happening. I know some of them might try their dirty tricks as they don't fear death which Is why I had to be prepared for anything that comes my way. The car drove for about 30 minutes before reaching one of the most congested areas of the city, then a voice coming from the car speaker sounded sharply, “Be watchful, protect the boss as it seems there are some suspicious people around.” My eyes grew sharp and the aura in the car immediately changed. We sat up straight and became vigilant, but somehow we passed through safely. I leaned back on the seat bu
~Mark Pov~I watched as Micca finally slept after a long day. I traced her face gently but my eyes were cold and ruthless. I I had truly been so happy after I was told she was pregnant as I am very sure the pregnancy is mine. I closed my eyes tightly as I remembered what the doctor had said, “Miss Micca, you can't have another abortion as the ones you had done before had affected you.” “Why?!” I asked myself with gritted teeth. I know the child that was said to have been aborted was mine! How many times had she done this? Does she hate me this much? Enough to affect her health so as not to be associated with me? Adams doesn't even love her the way I do, so why the hell is she bent on him?! Why?! I swallowed hard in rage, raised my head and fixed my eyes on her pale sleeping face. I could remember clearly how I fell in love with her, it was still so far in my heart and when I found her real identity and how she is associated with Adams, whom I hate so much, I had felt so much ange
~Adams Pov~ I looked at the phone that went dark after the call then smiled teasingly as I looked toward a faraway away place, then turned around to check on Liam who was addressing the village chief of this village.I had arrived here early with Liam after hearing of his grandparent's death. I had always known the couple as a loving couple and they were childhood sweethearts who later got married. When I received the news of Grandma Lucian’s passing, my first thought was to ask Liam if his grandfather can survive it. I wasn't being mean, I was just being realistic and I was right. I didn't know what love was before I met Merina but now that I met her and married her, I know what it is and I have experienced it so I could understand at least 20 percent of what Grandfather Lucian had felt. I sighed and pat Lucian Shoulder, and then my eyes were attracted to the familiar figure who was wearing a baggy gown that looked funny on her, but she still looked beautiful. Next to her was a yo
~Merina Pov~ I was really surprised when she said so, I felt so confused but looking at her, somehow I knew she is not a bad person and I was glad to have someone involved in this kind of profession in this place. I have never studied about pregnancy or children and I really know nothing about it. I would have decided to leave early and go back home but somehow I feel really scared. Adams has enemies and not just him, I have enemies too. Like my my family and especially Sofia. What if she decided to harm my child after I had spoiled her reputation? I wouldn’t be scared if I wasn’t pregnant but now that I am, I have to be careful especially when two different doctors have talked about my weak body. I will be heartbroken if anything happens to my baby. I signed and thought about it then decided to stay here and take care of my self, at least I get the peace I am looking for even if I would have to wrong Adams but I know he would understand and I really don’t want to be his weakness.
~Merina Pov~ I walked into the hospital closest to the village and not too far from it, and beside me was Lilah, the daughter of the village head. She had suggested we take the taxi but since it was just a 15-minute walk from the village, I decided to trek it to prepare myself. When aunty told me yesterday that I might be pregnant, I felt so shocked. I wasn't expecting it at all, and I don't even know what I feel right now, excitement? Not really, sadness? Nope! But I don't feel neutral at all. I feel a touch of everything and it's not making me think straight. This is the moment when Adams was here with me, but no, he isn't here so I have no choice but to take care of this myself. I sighed loudly and Lilah who heard me turned to look at me with a worried face, “What's wrong, Merina? You okay? Do you want to rest?” she asked nervously and I couldn't help but laugh at her nervous face. “C’mon, I have only been walking for just 5 mins, how can I be tired? Sister is not that weak,
~Micca Pov~ I coughed as I looked at the ceiling. My eyes were bloodshot, I had been sick for days, it hadn’t been easy so far, and sometimes it felt like I had been poisoned I am beginning to suspect Mark since he wouldn’t allow me to leave the hospital, and also wouldn’t call in a doctor, I have been vomiting everything that goes into my tummy and I have been feeling dizzy, it’s got so bad that I can’t even move my legs but all mark keep yapping about is how he want to protect me from Adams as the outside was not safe but I feel I am not even safe with him. My head shifted to the door and seeing Mark enter with a tray of food, I ignored him and adjusted myself properly then closed my eyes so as not to see his bastard face. I heard his sigh then he traced my neck and face which was all skin and bones now, “I’m sorry baby, I never knew it has gotten to this, I have been busy dealing with the aftermath and throwing attacks so you can be safe, but I never knew you were this sick unt
~Adams pov~I took a deep breath in front of Merina’s room, I clenched the test result I had just received from the doctor’s office. It was supposed to be a good thing but the news that followed scared me so much. Merina is pregnant. The thought of it brought joy to my heart, the thought that she has our fruit growing in her heart made me want to run around the place in joy, but the complications that come with her pregnancy are something I fear so much. I took a deep breath and put on a calm face before pushing open the door to the room but what I found was an empty bed, I raised my eyebrow in surprise, “She is awake?!” I muttered then walked inside then sat down on the couch waiting as I thought she might be in the toilet doing her thing. But I waited for long without seeing the toilet door open, and that was when my eyes saw the drip package on the ground, I frowned and bent down take it then I saw it torn. My eyes flashed with shock, I stood up hastily and rushed to the toilet
~Merina Pov~ I woke up and looked at the white wall, my eyes was dazed and filled with confusion, “Where am I?!” I asked myself but no one was there to respond to me, I sat up gently and noticed the IV drip connected to my hand. I frowned as everything came rushing in. The Conference, the talks, and the secrets. I closed my eyes tiredly, “No wonder I had lost consciousness, everything was so tiring. I felt so drained and suddenly I didn't want to see anyone. I was still dressed in the gown I had worn to the conference. I looked around and saw no one there, I suddenly stood up with the help of the bed, and then I looked at the drip which was connected to my hand and was dripping little by little. I frowned in impatience then suddenly removed the injection from my hand which drew blood but I could care less about it, then I took the drip and cut it off then drank it all without a change of expression. I looked out of the window and suddenly had one desire, I didn't know what came ov
~Adams Pov~ I watched in distress as Merina shed tears of pain, this was one of the reasons I didn’t want her here. There were too many revelations and she had just recovered, her being here might trigger her wound and it might hurt her. My chest felt so much pain and I couldn’t help but sweat just thinking about it.I leaned down and buried her face to my chest then kissed her forehead. I looked at the reporters who looked so excited as they had gotten so much worthy news. I knew they would do her justice but it’s was left with just one thing which I had to do. It’s time for everyone to know of Merina’s talents and the scams her so-called family had done to her. I turned to look at the manager of my company PR and gave him a signal which he understood immediately, then he turned serious and hushed the reporters, then smiled on seeing the obedient crowd. I sat down with Merina on my leg and I hugged her in my arms like no man's business. I don’t care if people are watching and all I
