How is it going? I hope we aren't getting bored?
~Adams pov~ “RING!” I raised my hand and stopped the presentation going on in the meeting, I narrowed my eyes sharply on seeing the name on the phone. I picked it up without hesitation. “Hello!” I said coldly. “Boss, I lost Madam!” My brows furrowed in confusion as I looked at the wall blankly, “What do you mean?” I asked sharply with an eyebrow raised. “I’m sorry Boss—” “Tell me what's going on!” I interrupted him impatiently, my eyes glowing red. With his words, I knew things were not okay and something had gone wrong! “I had stayed at a distance as you had ordered but then Madam is gone! I looked around but she was gone.” Kel, the bodyguard I had ordered to look after Merina said nervously. My head went bang at his words, my heartbeat went erratic, and for a moment I became still, then it became clear. My eyes widened as I hit the table with my palm producing a loud sound and giving the workers in the room a scare but I didn't care what they felt at that moment, because
~Merina Pov~ I woke up to a splash of water on my face. I shivered from the coldness of the water and then looked around immediately in shock, but I saw the faces of men who looked strange and people I had never seen. I looked at them blankly before remembering the situation I was in at this point. I had been kidnapped! I swallowed hard and looked at the men who looked at me like I was some pieces of garbage. The last time I had been kidnapped, though I had been really scared but not to this extent. These people look ruthless and professional, it can be seen from the bloodthirsty aura emitting from them. “You are awake?!” one of them asked with a husky voice but it didn't sound like a question to me but like he was asking if I was ready to die. My body shivered as I looked down and moved backward. My butt shifted away from them but I was surprised no one said a thing or moved to drag me back, but this didn't bring me relief but dread. As I moved back in horror, my back hit so
~Adams Pov~ I took out my phone and called Liam, my friend who is part of the country security agency but he works in secret and owns his people. The call was picked up fast, “Where are you? We are in your basement!” He said in his usual calm tone. I looked at the damaged car at the side of the road and the police and crowd who were looking at it and trying to see if someone was inside. My eyes were red as I narrowed my eyes at the scene, “I had an accident. Come pick me at—” I hung up the call after I told him where I was. “Boss, do you think the trailer driver had truly lost control?” Sean, my assistant who had gotten injured on his shoulder said with gritted teeth. I turned to look at him with my cold eyes but I wasn't bothered about that question at the moment and the only thing on my mind was if Merina was safe as I realized everything was getting tougher. The trailer which was said to have lost control and rushed toward my car was strange and it's very obvious it was aim
~Micca Pov~ I got a call from Mark telling me to dress up as his man would be coming to pick me up. Though confused thinking about that weird man, I can't comprehend his thinking, but I think he might be taking me on a date. I sighed tiredly as I walked out of the bathroom after doing my usual routine. I had been staying in Mark’s house for the past few days after I had passed out in the bar and according to him, I had called him to come to pick him up before I passed out from drinking, and though I found it hard to believe, there was no other truth. I put on a very tight trouser showing my full curves and long legs then wore a crop top that showcased my smooth belly, and after that, I wore my heels. All these are clothes that have been prepared in his place—Pervert! I heard the sound of horns announcing that the car which was coming to pick me up was there. I went down the stairs and without responding to the maid who greeted me, I left the house and walked toward the car waitin
~Adams Pov~ “Hey! Wake up, man!” I struggled crazily like a trapped beast as Liam and the others held me from jumping down the bridge, but how could I be here when the car where my woman was had fallen Into the river? I gritted my teeth and desperately turned to Liam, “Merina! The car, that’s the fucking car we were tracing!” I yelled angrily with eyes as red as blood, Liam's eyes went wide with shock, he looked at me blankly and then shook his head afterward, “Are you stupid?! Where has your IQ left?! This is a fucking trap! Isn’t it so obvious?” He talked back angrily then looked at me with disdain. I stiffened in the hands of the policemen and looked at Liam in a daze. My heartbeat was so fast that it felt like it was about to explode, and then I realized I had reacted impulsively and didn’t reason well. Why would Merina be in the car and lots of evidence will be shown? Besides, it was so obvious that this was to distract me, but I had gotten too worried and anxious— “Darn
~Micca Pov~ I watched the confrontation between Adams and Mark in my hideout. Merina had been put in the other room which was hidden behind when we heard the sounds of gunfire outside and I had immediately hidden myself. I swallowed hard seeing the tense situation, but I still didn’t want to show myself to Adams as that would make him hate me more. I knew I had done a lot but I still didn’t want him to hate me. I still have that awareness that Merina is married to Adams now, so touching her will make him hate me so much. “Where is Merina?!” Adams asked again with his chilly gaze that sent me shivering. I looked toward Mark who sat down on the chair, his aura though cold but he still couldn’t match Adams's aura. This made me doubt if he could win and make Adams do what he said. “Do you think we have her with us? Mr Nart, don’t be arrogant!” Mark said playfully then he suddenly stood up and dodged to the side then I heard the loud— “BANG!” I fell and looked at the ground in fe
~Adams Pov~ I watched Micca coldly as she stammered. I looked at her anxious face and suddenly felt heartbroken. This was the sister I had taken care of since she was a baby. I had trusted her and gave her everything needed but she betrayed me. I shook my head and then pushed her away calmly. What else can she say? Would she say she hadn't collaborated with the enemy to attack me? I had my suspicions, but I had confirmed it when I saw Mark keep looking to the side and I had said those words on purpose. “Micca! What the hell are you doing here?!” Liam's voice sounded so loud as if he had just come back to his senses. Micca turned to look at Liam and gulped nervously, “Liam, I… it's not what you think, okay?” She said then moved to touch Liam who glared at her coldly stopping her from touching him. “Not what we think? Micca…” I stopped then walked toward her, “You take me for a fool?!” I asked coldly. I looked at her sarcastically as she moved back but then Mark came in between u
~Adams Pov~ I held the unconscious Merina in my arms tightly. Her face was pale and white. I removed my hand from the back of her head after I felt something wet in my hand. I looked at my hand in shock, then I turned her around and that was when I saw her bleeding head. My mind went blank for a moment then after coming back to my senses I realized I was delaying her—She needs to be treated!“Merina…please hold on, okay? Hold on as hubby will take you to the hospital. Don't leave me.” I muttered in panic with red eyes that were filled with tears and so much fear. Who had said Adams doesn’t cry? That's because I hadn't seen what could make me shed tears, but now the person who had made me shed tears with fear was in my arms, looking like she was about to die. Merina is my woman! The woman I want to spend the rest of my life with, I can't lose her! I can't! My eyes flashed with determination and craziness, I stood up with her in my arms, and with the only thought of saving this woma
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
~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.
