~Adams Pov~

I hit the phone on the table with a loud thud, making Merina jump. I rubbed my face, feeling a headache coming on. My mom was the one on the phone. My secretary announced to me that she was waiting for me downstairs and needed to see me. Of all days, she had to choose today to visit. I didn't want her to meet Merina. My family…they were a bit…judgemental. I knew my mom would make a fuss, and I wasn't going to let her upset Merina.

Merina's voice startled me. "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.

She mouthed, looking shy, "You look tired too."

I smiled gently, "Yeah, I will be fine but you need your own rest." I insisted.

  • The Billionaire's Fragile Angel    Don't Underestimate Me

    ~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

    ~Adam Pov~ I didn't wait to hear her response and left her room after dropping my words but I heard her whisper, “Yes, you are Adams Nart…” I got into my car and asked the driver to drive off. 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. I make sure I study the people I deal with so I won't be at a disadvantage and it has proven effective as I will always be one or two steps ahead of my competitors and partners. The car drove into

  • The Billionaire's Fragile Angel    Marriage Proposal

    ~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

  • The Billionaire's Fragile Angel    Adam's Daughter?!

    ~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

  • The Billionaire's Fragile Angel    Piano Memories

    ~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

  • The Billionaire's Fragile Angel    Her Apologies.

    ~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?

  • The Billionaire's Fragile Angel    His possessiveness

    ~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

  • The Billionaire's Fragile Angel    Released Stolen Song

    ~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

  • The Billionaire's Fragile Angel    Liam’s Grandparents: The Plans

    ~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

  • The Billionaire's Fragile Angel    Love That Goes Deep

    ~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.

  • The Billionaire's Fragile Angel    The Fruit Of Our Love

    ~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,

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

  • The Billionaire's Fragile Angel    Complications in the Pregnancy

    ~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

  • The Billionaire's Fragile Angel    The Truth

    Merina Pov I walked confidently into the hall with my heels clicking on the floor. I was dressed in a way that brought out an aggressive but elegant aura. My eyes were as sharp as a hawk and my face held a polite but indifferent smile. In my hand was a small handbag. The hall became as quiet as the night after I announced my presence, then walked to the front where Adams stood with his mouth agape as he looked at me with a shocked face. I smiled when I got close to him then whispered, “Hubby, I am here.” I said and saw his eyes brighten up with laughter. I couldn't help but chuckle too then held his hand, “Did I disturb you? I’m sorry, I just don't want you to face this alone. It's time to step out and assist you. I have always wanted to face the world with you and fight it off, but I have never had the confidence, seeing the announcement yesterday, I know I am the one drawing you back, it is time to stand next to you with my hand in yours as we tackle things as couples.

    Adams Pov I walked inside the house at a fast pace. I had just heard everything that had happened on the internet an hour ago. I had never expected Marina's father to break up with Merina at this time when things were still against her.It seems something is giving them confidence. I had always known Merina’s family is shameless but her father’s act was so shameless this time around. Seeing Merina in the middle of the fire, he immediately disowned her. I can't imagine what she is feeling now. She had faced a lot and this would hurt her which is why I immediately put down things and rushed home. I opened the door and saw her in an apron with a spatula cooking in the kitchen. My heart beat increased seeing her gentle side, but the surging emotions in my eyes cooled down when I saw her so calm and also seemed to be enjoying the new home. I cleared my throat, disrupting her focus on the food she was cooking.Her face lit up with a smile then she opened her arms wide before running towar
