To be honest, Adams didn't want to hurt her. But she kept pushing him and the revelations…Gosh!
~Micca Pov~ I felt like I was losing my breath at the moment. I looked at Adams' face which was so calm but the anger radiating from him at this moment was something I had never seen. He had always been like this but he had never shown me this part of him. I felt fear overcome me as his hand tightened more and I found it difficult to breathe. I had thought he was only giving me a warning but when I saw his ruthless eyes that looked at me like I was only a speck of dust that can be cleaned up at any moment, I felt chills run down my spine. “He–He is very serious! Adams wants to kill me! He is crazy, he is crazy!” I muttered in my heart and knew it was not time for stubbornness. “Ad-Adams..” I forced out his name through my throat. I gasped with wide eyes when I felt myself finding it so difficult to breathe. Now I am so scared. “Please! Do-dont do this…I’m sorry!” I pleaded with hope of him releasing me on seeing how pitiful I am but all I got was a cold smirk. “Micca…” I sh
~Merina Pov~ My eyes cracked open when I felt wetness on my face. My eyes were blurry at first but then it became clear as the sun shined on my face making me feel alive. My mind was blank as I kept looking at the sun that peaked out of the window, and then everything came rushing in. My eyes snapped open and now everything was clear to me. I looked around the room and then my eyes met a familiar dark deep one. I locked eyes with him for a while then opened my mouth to say something but nothing came out. “Shiii..” Adams shut me up by putting a finger on my lips, and with a dumb face, I watched him wet my lips with a wool that had been soaked with water. I licked my lips after he removed it, “What happened?” my voice came out very low and quiet and I wondered if he heard me but it seemed he did as he turned to look at me. His eyes were gentle and filled with dotings as he looked at me, and then he stood up and leaned down to drop a kiss on my forehead and then down to my lips. I
~Merina Pov~ I turned to the door sharply and then looked at Adams confusingly only to see him looking irritated. We both know whose voice that was but what I was confused about is how Maestro Wills knows about my stay in the hospital. I tapped on Adams's arm so he could release me, “It's Maestro Wills. Tell them to allow him in.” I said when I heard the old man’s voice getting louder. Adams inhaled deeply, released me, and walked to the door, then opened it to reveal the old man dressed in a shirt and shorts looking energetic, and beside him were some people who I didn't recognize except the man standing helplessly next to him. The one who had greeted I and Adams on the day of the concert and he seems to be Maestro Wills's brother. “Maestro—” I greeted but was interrupted by his loud excited voice. “Oh, Little Merina! How did you end up in the hospital?! How do you feel right now? What did the doctor say?!” He asked with a face filled with worries which surprised me. I became
~Adams Pov~ “No, She won’t!” I rejected it loudly before she could continue. I scoffed as I looked at the secretary, “Pianist Association?” I asked sarcastically. Secretary Sonia looked at me awkwardly then muttered something under her breath that I didn't hear, and then she cleared her throat and puffed out her chest in pride. “Yes, President Nart. This will help Miss Merina grow faster as we can help her sign in competitions, hold concerts and all, and she can also meet good people who are also talented just like her, so what do you think, Miss Merina?”I frowned as she turned to look at the silent Merina. I know if Merina chooses to go, I won't be able to say no to her, but the Association is not a place for her to be at the moment. The therapist had told me Merina can't be triggered and provoked and somewhere like an association is not a place she can be at this moment. A place filled with schemes and unhealthy competition is not the right place. Merina hesitated and looked
~Micca Pov~ I walked into the visitor area of the Nart’s Family home and saw Madam Nart sitting on the couch relaxed with her eyes fixed on the game show playing on the TV and in her hand, she held a cup of coffee slowly sipping it. I licked my lips in disdain and In a corner where they couldn't see, my eyes flashed with disdain, “Very useless! Just a little mission I gave her, she couldn't do it, so what is her usefulness? She can't control her son, no wonder Adams doesn't take her seriously. Like who would want a mother who only cares about her status and shopping with friends all the time?” I thought but on my face was a sad smile. “Aunty!” I called out gently which brought her out of the leisure world she was in. She looked at me and then raised an eyebrow in confusion. “Micca, why are you here? You didn't call Aunty, I should have asked the chef to prepare dinner early.” She said then stood up to hug me. “Ouch!” I cried out in pain when she hugged me which shocked her into s
~Merina Pov~ “Yes, let's talk!” I looked at Adams's facial expression carefully and seeing his calmness made me uneasy. I don’t know if I had done any wrong by ignoring his words to agree to the proposal from Secretary Sonia. I bite my lips and sit next to him, “Adams, Are you angry?” The question came out quietly and even I doubt if he heard my voice but he did. He looked at me coldly, then scoffed, “What do you think?” He asked with his dark eyes still pressed on me. I coughed then shifted my eyes from his to cover my embarrassment. “Do you know what you did wrong?” He asked seriously making me sit up to listen to him. I shook my head at his question as I didn’t know what I had done wrong. He sighed helplessly then pinched my cheeks, “You are too reckless! You don’t agree to things you have no idea what the advantages or drawbacks are. You should have allowed me to find out more and not always be in a hurry to agree to something because the harder people find it to get s
~Adams Pov ~ I hadn't prepared for something like this though. It has caught me unprepared and left me stunned but do they think I would be helpless? I have been in this game for a long time but I hadn't expected the enemies to have been prepared and the person who they had chosen as a spy in my company is someone I hadn't suspected, but this is something that can be solved, though troublesome it can surely be solved. I sat in the chair and in front of me stood my two assistants, Sean and Adeline. My eyes were closed as I leaned back relaxly and a single bit of nervousness or anxiousness couldn't be seen on my face and what was shown was calmness. If this little problem can make me lose control then I would have lost my reputation as the youngest business genius in the country. My fingers tapped on the table, listening to them talk. “We have prepared everything, Boss and we also made sure the PR is properly arranged and has the evidence ready,” Adeline said coldly. I snapped m
~Merina Pov~ I was shocked after hearing the news. I felt so helpless and worried but I decided to stay calm as I believed in Adams as he could handle it like he had said and it's just the news making a mountain out of a hill as that's their usual way of doing things. I pulsed my lips and tried calming my throbbing heart, I noticed the aunty hadn't heard what was being said on the TV and I also didn't say a word but staggered back to my room with tension written all over my face. I took out my phone and my fingers lingered on the number I wished to call but thinking of how tired he would be at this moment and how busy he was, I decided not to, then I clicked on the message box to send him a message but then what if he gets so worried after seeing my message? I threw my phone on the bed and sat with a dull face. I hate how helpless I am. I swallowed hard, picked up my phone then opened the internet to stroll through. I smiled sadly to myself, as this was something rare and strange
~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
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. I know you
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
Merina Pov~My heart shook when Adams Father gave the options, my fist clenched in a fist and with my eyes looking at him with disdain, how could a father do this? He prioritize his interest than his son’s interest. Well, I am not surprise, I have a father like that too and having experience something this heartbreaken before, I could understand how Adams feel. I turned to look at Adams and was surprised to see him looking so calm and elegant, then his lips curled up in a mocking smile making me curious to know what he was thinking, I felt my hand being grabbed then Adams nodded seriously. “You are mistaken, Master Nart…” Adams said and I was shocked, my mouth open in a gasp when he changed the way he addressed his father, I looked at the wide mouth of Madam Nath and also his father who was taken aback, then Adams scoffed mockingly, and continued, “The company belong to me, now. You might have shares, but what you have is only 15% while I have 55% of the company shares, and also,”
~Adams Pov~ I frowned in annoyance then brought out my phone in annoyance then picked it up without looking at the caller id. “Speak!” I ordered.“Son!” I looked at the caller id again after hearing the voice and upon confirming that its was really my father, I twitched my lips then placed it on my ear again.“What do you want?” I asked irritatedly. I know he wouldn't say anything useful other than giving orders that would only benefit him and I don't have time for this. I feel exhausted. “Where are you? Come back home. Your mother and I need to see you.” He said which made me pinch my brows in frustration, then I looked at Merina whose head was still bowed listedly. My eyes narrowed in thought then after making a decision, “Okay.” I said to my father on the phone then hang up without waiting for him to say another word.I slipped my hands inside my pockets and then fixed my gaze on Merina calmly which made her flinch. I scoffed at her guilty look then sighed tiredly. “You are so
~Adams Pov~I hugged her tightly and placed her head on my chest, I could feel from the way she hugged me so tightly that she was terrified. Merina might be brave but she has never come across something like this. I felt so much frustration in my heart just thinking of how my pure woman was facing all this, and it’s all happening because of me. The thought breaks my heart and the wish to kill everyone who had a hand in it grew stronger.I pushed her away slowly then held her face in my hand then gave her a gorgeous smile. “Scared?” I asked with smiles in my eyes. Merina looked at me shyly then shook her head embarrassingly. I knew she was so shy and the look on her face as she tried to hide her weakness made me burst out in laughter. I felt so free and the tension in between my brows eased alots. If the shareholders saw me. I am sure they will be so shocked and terrified but only with my woman can I remain at peace and put away those frowns. I took Merina’s hand and walked her back
Adams Pov I hung up the phone and clenched it in my hand. My eyes were cold and the gentleness I had while talking to Merina minutes ago was gone and sharpness replaced it.Things had happened too fast but that doesn't mean I wouldn't be able to resolve it. My chin clenched as I went deep in thought, something was wrong somewhere and I knew who had done it, but I was sure I was going to get revenge the hard way, no one can bully my woman and go scot-free.I looked up after hearing a knock on my door, “Come in!” I ordered then sat back down on my chair with my eyes fixed on the laptop.“Boss! I already dealt with the Internet. We deleted it and also made sure another won’t pop up.” Sean said.I looked up coldly, then snorted, “I pay you all and you didn’t even know when things began coming up until it’s has escalated into something huge, after all these passed, it’s time to take care of the useless people in the company, i can’t keep feeding their families and all they do is sit aroun
