The Betrayal

~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

A Night to Forget

~Merina Pov~The cold night air folded itself around me like a permanent grasp as I walked aimlessly through empty streets. My chest hurt, my breaths were shallow, and each step seemed to have become a task of greater effort to take. I held the test result in my hand, but it had been crumpled so badly. My mind was at a gallop with a thousand questions, none of which I had answers to.How had things come to this? How had my life fallen so utterly apart?Memories came rushing back, uninvited and merciless. I was such a bright and carefree kid who loved singing my heart out and the only encouragement I needed was my mother's warm smile. I had won little awards for singing and playing the piano, for just about anything of merit. As I grew up, the world seemed full of possibilities.But then, my mom got sick. I still remember how weak she held my hand and the whispered promises that it was all going to be alright. But it wasn't. She died. And With her went all light from my world, or

A Night of Turmoil

~Adam's POV~I looked into the girl's willful face, where the pale moonlight was planting dark shadows over her cheeks. Who in this world was she, and what had bought her up here?Her disheveled appearance, together with the bitter smell of alcohol on her, made me narrow my eyes. A prostitute? My lips curled in disgust. Whoever had drugged me thought they were very clever, sending me someone so young and presentable. But why send me drunk? It made no sense.I glared at her, my patience wearing thin. "Don't say I didn't warn you," I growled, my voice sharp as a blade, though even to my ears the warning sounded as empty as any such threat.She looked up at me with glassy eyes, lips parted, and I didn't give her the chance to answer. I was already moving, then drew her closer to me.I cupped her face, and the softness of her skin where my hands lay tempted me, as I crushed my lips on hers. The skin beneath her, impossibly soft beneath my fingers, there was a flicker of something wild a

The Morning After

~Adams Pov~Sunlight seeped into the room, warm and relentless, yanking me from my light sleep. My head throbbed vaguely, a residue of whatever had been dropped into my drink last night, but it was nothing compared to the turmoil in my mind.The events of last night played in my mind like a lunatic dream. The girl, Merina, stumbling drunkenly into my room, her idiot stubbornness, her soft lips…I let out a harsh breath and ran a hand over my face as I sat up. The room was silent now except for the soft sound of her breathing. I rolled onto my side to look at her more fully, my head twisted toward her as I watched her stir under the covers. Her hair was a tangle, her face smothered in sleep, but something in that pose seemed tranquil, lulling, to dispel chaos she had stirred with her.She stirred, eyelashes batting open to reveal cloudy eyes. She looked around the strange room, momentarily disoriented, and then it was as if something else clicked into place inside of her, perhaps the c

Her Stubbornness

(Adam's POV)The car stopped in front of my house—a modest, modern house that stood tall against the city's mess. As the gates opened, I got out of the car carrying Merina in my arms. She was lighter than I had thought, with her pale and fragile body that looked like it would break if I tightened my hand.I scowled, how could she who had shoved me with such force last night, now looked as though the slightest wind could topple her? My assistant Sean waited by the door, his expression was wary, though he wisely didn't ask questions. He knew better.He bowed slightly, "All is in order, sir. The doctor will arrive shortly," he said, his voice even."Good," I said coldly, not looking at him. "Keep everyone else out of sight."He opened the door for me, and I carried Merina in, my arms instinctively tightening around her. The house was quiet, the usual staff gone, leaving only the butler and a couple of attendants. As I went up the stairs to the guest bedroom, my footsteps echoed elegan
