~Merina Pov~ I have been in the room for hours without going out as Adams has instructed. I didn't know anybody here and I wouldn't come out so as not to cause trouble for Adams. I had just finished eating the dinner brought to me by the hotel room service when I heard the hotel phone ring. My heart went on alert as I didn't think anyone would call, but then I calmed down thinking it might be the hotel service. I walked to the phone and picked it up then I heard a lady who introduced herself as the receptionist. My furrowed brows loosened up as a shallow smile showed on my face. “Hello?” I greeted them with confusion wanting to know why she was calling. “Miss, you have a visitor and I have to ask if you are expecting someone.” She asked. I was stunned for a while as I didn't know anyone here and Adams didn't tell me anything about someone coming over. “Who is that, please? Can you ask for the person’s name?” I asked curiously. I waited, then I heard some sounds but I couldn't
~Merina Pov~ “I would love to have a nice talk with Merina,” Micca smirked after she said so then locked eyes with me boldly. I locked eyes with her and then curled up my lips. My eyes were filled with gentleness as I looked at her and this seemed to surprise her as the smile on her face cooled off then she looked away. I smiled to myself as I knew this would always work—Smile. I have always smiled when faced with people who expect responses from me. I had been provoked lots of times in the past, either at the college or by Sofia’s friends who thought they could bully me. Whenever they try bullying me and expect a response from me, I throw them a smile which seems to annoy them so I have learned to do that, and now I am used to this. Though I knew Micca’s coming here was not a coincidence and the conversation wouldn't go as please, who cares? “Oh! I am getting older and I forgot your brother, Adams would have introduced you both to each other. You both can be—” “He is not my
~Micca Pov~ “Impossible! You can't take her as your student, Grandpa Wills!” I yelled out agitatedly. I don't understand how things got to this. Why does she keep getting the good thing?! She can't be his student, I won't allow it! Because if she does, then she would have one more person protecting her and that would be hard. Everyone knows being a student of Grandpa Wills brings nothing but success and lots of connection.Don't look at this old man as just an ordinary Maestro, he is also a retired politician and has lots of connections, he is connected to the military, the law, and businesses. This old man has a wide range of connections which is also why I got very close to him and so far he has been useful.Then imagine Merina being as close as a student to him. No! K can't let this happen, I can't!Grandpa Wills looked at me with doubt and furrowed brows, “Micca, do you have something against Merina? I thought you both were familiar with each other and she is your brother’s love
~Merina Pov~I watched how Micca accused me of things I didn't commit and suddenly felt angry. I felt tired and angry especially when Grandpa Wills had mentioned Adams.My breathing became haggard but I had to keep calm because I knew I if lost control, it would make her right. I could feel my head pounding, it aches so much making me nauseous, but I clenched my fist and endured it, at least until this had been cleared. I can't disappoint Adams. I just can't do that! “I didn't!” I gritted out then opened my eyes and looked at Grandpa Wills in the eyes, “I didn't! This is my song and Sofis had stolen it which is why it was banned by Adams! I don't know if you believe me or not, but I can prove it to you in any way, that this song is mine!” The more I talked, the more courageous I grew. Grandpa Wills looked at me, then suddenly asked, “How can you prove it?” My eyes turned blurry but I forced down the bile in my throat and looked at Micca who looked proud as she crossed her arms and
~Adams Pov~ I drove into the parking lots of the hotel and threw the car keys to the security man who stood on standby. I pinched the middle of my brows then walked tiredly into the hotel, and took the elevator back to my room.I wonder how Merina is faring as I had left her here without even calling her phone which I hadn't realized as I was too busy taking care of the aftermath. My tie was crooked and my shirt was unbuttoned down to my chest area. My eyes were heavy and all I wanted to do was hug Merina to sleep.Though I was feeling so tired, I didn't show it on my face and kept my hands in my pockets, and made my face expressionless and very calm. One thing I don't want is to keep Merina stressed about me, she has a lot on her mind and I wouldn't want to add to her stress, especially when she has regained some of her vitality.I smiled thinking of my woman, and I suddenly didn't feel tired anymore, I only felt eagerness and irritation at the slow Elevator. Immediately it got to m
~Adams Pov~I felt so angry seeing the video. It all started with Maestro Wills coming to see Merina with Micca following along and though I was surprised seeing Micca there I wasn't shocked because she was close with Grandpa Wills too. I watched as Grandpa Wills talked with Merina and then Merina grew anxious and then Micca said something and brought her phone out to show them something. Even from the video which had no sound, I could feel the tension and also felt Merina's frustration which made me curious about what was being shown in the video. I kept on watching the argument up until Merina and Micca began fighting and they seemed so riled up but I could see Micca had provoked my woman! “Nonsense! How dare she?!” I muttered angrily under my breath. I took in rapid breaths to calm myself down. Though I didn't know what they had said or what was going on one thing I know is there was something between Merina and Micca and it was Micca who had provoked Merina. I closed my eyes t
~Adams Pov~ “So? What if I bully her?! How dare she take what is mine?!” She said loudly with obvious anger.I looked at her confused, this was not the Micca I knew, she looked so different and angry, her eyes were red and filled with unshed tears, her body was trembling and it was like she had been wronged but—She had bullied Merina first! “What are you talking about?! Merina didn’t even know who you were before I introduced you!” I said then looked at the girl whose head was bowed aggrievedly, I calmed down then fixed my cold eyes on her figure, “What do you mean by that word? Micca don’t give me silly excuses, you know me so well to know I hate being deceived the most.” I said calmly but she of all people should know the more calm I was, the more my anger grew.She clenched her fist then raised her head and stared stubbornly at me. Her lips twitched in agony making me confused, “Adams…” She called out sadly.“Don’t you know?” She asked then seeing my confused face, she chuckled a
~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

~Micca Pov~ Sitting in the office of the man I hate the most but have no other option than to join hands with him. I sat with my legs crossed and my arms folded together watching him talk with his assistant. I pulsed my lips in nervousness but my face was so calm like what they were talking about didn't concern me until he mentioned something which shocked me into standing up. “What do you mean by informing the media?!” I asked in a shocked voice. Mark and his assistant turned to look at me with annoyance, “Sit down, Micca!” Mark said with irritation. I clenched and unclenched my fist and I felt fear fill me. My eyes flashed with hatred, I gritted my teeth and wiped my sweaty hands on my dress, “I thought you said you just wanted to do something to teach that bitch a lesson, and it's not something hard. Why are you involving the media? Besides, what exactly did you do?!” I asked angrily. The more I thought about it, the more I got angry, and without caring about anything, I u
~Adams Pov~ “What were you all doing?! I will be there in 40 minutes! Control the scene!” I hung up the phone and took a deep breath, then I faced Merina with calmness, “Stay here. I have something to do. I will ask them to bring you something to eat.” I said softly, not letting my worries be obvious. Merina stood up immediately I did, then held my arm, “Something is wrong, right? Is it something serious?” She asked anxiously. I chuckled seeing her worries, I raised my hand and patted her head softly, “It’s nothing I can’t handle. Just some people playing some tricks. I will be back okay?” I said then leaned down to peck her forehead. She looked at me with disappointment but didn’t ask questions again. I smiled at her and turned around to leave but then I stopped at the door and turned around to look at her, “I will be back. I might stay late but I will surely come back so don’t be scared and sleep when you are sleepy, okay?” I said worriedly, then I remembered something, “Oh! W
