How has the story been so far? Is it getting more interesting to you?
~Micca Pov~ I sat in a private room and in front of me lay exquisite food but I had no appetite. I lowered my head and kept tapping on my phone as I tried avoiding talking to the man whose eyes were fixed on me like I was the only thing in his world but I knew better than to fall for it—Mark is despicable! I ignored his creepy eyes until I couldn't take it anymore so I slapped my palm on the table and raised my head, “What is it you want?! I didn't come here to be looked at, Ceo Mark! Can we just get this done so I can go home?” I was pissed off. His lips curled up as he looked at me with clear amusement in his eyes then he sat up and slowly raised his cup to his mouth and sipped his tea. I wouldn't deny this man's handsomeness. He has an enchanting air surrounding him even when doing something as simple as drinking tea. My breathing became uneven as I remembered the moment in the car where he had clearly forced a kiss on me and then insulted me. I gritted my teeth in anger and w
~Merina Pov~ The sun tickled my face gently. My eyes snapped open as I looked towards the window in a daze then I subconsciously moved my hand to the other side of the bed but feeling the emptiness, I sat up immediately but then a terrible headache attacked me so badly. I squanched up my face in pain then rubbed the side of my head. I swallowed hard as everything vane rushed to me, my eyes widened in shock as I brought my hands to my face covering it in shame. “How embarrassing!” I muttered and fell on the bed again using the blanket to cover my head. Now that I remembered, Lucas had been there yesterday and I don't know if he had also heard me cry. The memory of me crying like a baby yesterday was so fresh in my brain that I wanted to dig a hole to hide. “It's all Adams Fault! Saying all these things to me…” I muttered but the smile on my face remained. I lowered my head and played with the blanket with my fingers, twisting it and folding it as I went deep in thought, but when
~Adams Pov~ I walked into the house in anticipation. My heart was filled with happiness and my indifferent face had a smile on it which surprised my housekeeper as it was something rare and strange. I could remember the reaction of my employees when I returned their greetings with a proper one and not my usual “Hmm” or Hand waves. I had felt guilty seeing them stand stunned and some of them became so clumsy they mistakenly hit one another but I didn't punish them as I was filled with happiness at that moment. I walked straight into my room as I guessed Merina was still getting dressed up and I wouldn't want to interrupt the artist and make them nervous and clumsy. The makeup artist I had employed was my company's artist and I trust she wouldn't divulge any information about Merina because every employee who works with the Nart company must sign a nondisclosure agreement and if violated, then they must face the consequences! I have never tolerated disobedience in my company. I wal
~Adams Pov~ I climbed out of the driver's seat and walked to the other side to open the door for Merina. I looked at her gorgeous face and inhaled deeply for the fourth or maybe fifth time since we drove out. I couldn't get enough of her beauty and it keeps amazing me every time I look at her. I stretched out my hands for her to hold which she shyly did. I had her close to me and then walked towards the door. I bought a ticket when we got to the security man, I watched as the security man’s eyes widened in shock after looking through my tickets, and then his attitude became more respectful which I don't care about. We entered the hall which was decorated simply and elegantly but it still couldn't hide the luxuriousness. I smiled, feeling Merina stiffen as she clenched her hands on my arm tightly. I know I should have prepared her for this but, I had wanted to give her a surprise, but it seems I had underestimated her fear of crowds. I berated myself in my head then ignoring the l
~Merina Pov~ “I LOVE YOU!” I stiffened on hearing the words he just uttered, my heart wasn't stable anymore, it was like it was about to burst out and I had to hold it to prevent it from falling. He was doing it again! He always does it every time, catching me unprepared! How should I react to this? What should I do? I can't scream, I can't jump on him as I am scared I will embarrass myself and I can't even cry as I would destroy my makeup but I guess my eyes said it just couldn't take it at the moment, then a drop fell and no more. I raised my head to try stopping my tears and when I felt it was okay, I lowered my head and looked at him like he was the only one in this world but it was true, he was the only one in my world. The tone of the song played went up and then down as if following the rhyme of my heart. I raised my hand to touch his face then smiled, “I Love You.” I responded and held his gaze daringly this time around. I could see the surging emotions in his eyes and
~Merina Pov~ My eyes slowly opened and I tried adapting to the light, then I dazely turned following the voice I had just heard, my eyes blinked as I tried adapting and when I saw the person clearly, my eyes grew wide in shock. I stood up so fast as I looked at the smiling face of the old man in front of me, who else but my Role model—Maestro Wills! I turned around in panic, instinctively searching for someone and when my eyes met those smiling eyes, I looked at him in confusion then I heard loud echoes of claps. I looked around in a daze and saw everyone standing up to clap and that was when the realization set in—I had just played the Piano of my beloved sound, and that was also in front of everyone! I covered my mouth in shock and then amazement, my eyes turned to look at Adams who was also standing and looking at me with those gentle eyes of his. My smile grew wide as I wiped my tears with the back of my hand, then I bit my lips and blinked my eyes in nervousness, hoping he w
~Merina Pov~ The kiss was overwhelming, I almost dropped to the ground but he held me firmly by the waist after releasing my hands. His tongue swept inside my mouth overbearingly then he sucked on my tongue. My tongue went numb from the kiss but he kept on going and I didn't stop him, my mind was blank and all I could focus on at the moment was the tongue playing lustfully in my mouth. After having enough fun playing with my tongue he licked my teeth then sucked on my plump lips, sucked on it deeply then bites on it playfully. “Ahh!” I gasped and my hold on his shirt tightened. He released my lips, looked at me with half-lidded eyes, leaned in again, and gently kissed my both eyes making me close them, then he kissed my forehead, my nose, my both cheeks and lastly, he gave me a sweet peck on my lips. He did everything gently which made me go soft and got my heart palpitating. I moved my hands from his shirt to his face as I cupped his face, and then I felt him lower his head to my
~Merina pov~ I tried standing up to check on him but somehow I felt weak in my legs and just sat down again to wait for him. It was long later before I heard the sound of the shower which relieved me. I thought about his reaction and I fear I had done something to piss him off. I know how of a newbie I was in intimacy and I couldn’t help but think I had done something to hurt him. My heart clenched as I managed to stand up with the blanket on my body, I noticed this was a suite and there should be another room. I pulsed my lips and took my dresses then stumbled outside the room with my eyes brimming with tears. I walked out and went straight into another room and I was glad there was a bathroom in the room. I took a shower without looking at myself in the mirror as I was scared I would want to go back in there and question him. I stood beside the bed after coming out of the shower, I got dressed and then sat down in a daze. “What has just happened?!” I gasp in confusion. Everyth
Sofia Pov Ever since the bitch Merina had revealed things in the conference, things had gone bad for me. My reputation had gone down the drain. My parents are getting scolded on the internet and anytime they go out, things will always be thrown at them. I have been coping inside the house for so long and the craziest part of all this is Liam who had. It has been picking up my calls!“Why isn’t he picking my call, mum?! Why? I just want him near me, mother I can’t lose him too, I have lost a lots and can’t lose him!” I cried to my mother whose face looked so haggard from everything going on. How the fuck had that bitch caught the heart of the richest young man in the country while I am stuck with that bastard, Liam?! Why can’t I also get Adams?! Why must it always be that sick fool Merina?! “Mother, you have to do something! Do something about all this!” I cried. I threw the phone on the wall with a bang. My eyes were filled with rage on seeing the words said about me on the interne
Adams Pov I walked out of the hall and walked towards my car with my bodyguards surrounding, I had signed the necessary document and finalized the deal, now the deal is mine. I had killed two birds with one stone and all I needed to do was watch as things played out.The car drove back to the company as we needed to finalize everything and also make sure everything was ready for us to start Project B. “Boss! We are blocked!” I exchanged looks with Sean then leaned back easily, my face was cold and my lips pulsed in a sharp like, my body was tensed up even when I looked so relaxed. I nodded at Sean and he nodded in response then walked out of the car towards the other people who were standing in the way.“Are you starting a fight?” He asked in a calm but curious way. “It won't be a fight if president Nart can go easy on us.” A familiar voice answered and then continued, “All we want is for president Nart to come down so we can talk!” He said arrogantly but what followed was the so
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
