I will be changing the cover photo of this book. If you prefer this one, then you can drop a word… Thanks.
~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 chuckl
~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
Adams PovI watched Merina arrange things into the twin's lunch boxes. We both will be taking them to kindergarten and I am so looking forward to that. There haven't been a couple of times between us for long as these two mischievous twins keep coming into our room and even when they fall asleep and I decide to take them back to their rooms, they would always wake up. The kids ran towards Merina and stood with their hands Akinbo on their waist and I do wonder where they both got this from. They are just 3 years old but they have the habit of doing this which is funny. “Mum! Cookie!” Michelle said ax sjs pointed at the cookies which Merina had already packed but its seems she was asking for her mother to pack more into her bag but Merina was as stubborn as her little daughter. She shook her head telling her no. “Anytime you take many cookies to school, you always end up eating only the cookies and not the food prepared, that's a bad habit… and stop looking at your father, I counted
Merina Pov I sat on the chair facing a mirror and Dressed in white off shoulder gown. My eyes were bright as I looked at my beautiful made up self. My hair was being arranged properly and next to me was people I am familiar with. It's been a year and some months since everything happened and I gave birth to my twins 6 months ago and it's been a pleasant year for me. In the past year, while I was still pregnant, I decided to take on my piano classes again and I released classics with the help of Adams, Mastro Wills, and the music organization. After the first one, I had released other piano sounds that sold well in the industry and though some people keep telling me to release a song of my own as they really want to hear me sing again but I don't want to. My love is instruments and I want to be known as a pianist and not a singer. Though ones in a while I do sing on a live video to quench the fans thirst and so far I had been wothout worries. I had been suprise when I heard the ne
Adams PovI watched as things became worse for them, it was announced that the Downtown family had sold their company to a foreigner but the truth was totally different. I had been planning on buying back that as they don't deserve to hold what Merina’s mother has heavily invested in, but I thought otherwise, why should they be paid? Why would they own anything? Why should they be free?! So I made a plan and did everything accordingly and now they had lost it all. They lost the company and now they would be losing their house to pay back the loan they owe the bank then I will watch how they survive this. As for her so-called betrayal of an ex-boyfriend, I made sure things went down and made sure their stocks failed. I wouldn't destroy him because he hadn't gone extreme but I made sure their greedy family started from scratch again. Now it's left with one person, I sat down inside the car with Sean driving, the car drove for about an hour and then stopped at a corner but we could se
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.
