~Merina Pov~“You are so shameless!” I shook my head and then left the place without bothering to look back.I came out and saw the driver standing outside waiting for me and I could see from his posture that he had been standing outside waiting for me for long. I felt grateful and gave him a bright smile to show everything was okay when I got closer to him and without saying a word, he climbed into the car and opened the door to the back seat for me which I entered. The car drove for more than an hour before stopping. I climbed out of the car and breathed in deeply in satisfaction, then I walked inside with urgent steps. On getting inside ISaw Aunty humming an unknown song happily as she watered the plant placed in the window. I walked closer to her, “Hello Auntie!” I greeted them with smiles.“Oh! Miss Merina is back? The master asked me to inform you that he has something to take care of and would be back late.” She said then dropped the water can she was holding, “I will get yo
~Adams Pov ~I had rushed to handle some problems that came up in the office after Merina left the house. It was already late when I arranged everything and also finished up with the meetings I had which were filled with arguments. I hadn't had time to ask about the situation of the driver who I had asked to take Merina home and I just wanted to see her now, though I didn't understand the urge to see her even if I was exhausted. I stepped on the gas and drove on the road but I couldn't help but stop the car when I saw a well light shop selling Ice-Cream,I watched as couples held hands lovingly as they chose their kind of flavors and I won't deny the little bit of envy I felt at the moment. I watched them for a while then snorted, “Childish!” I pulsed my lips and drove off but then, I couldn't keep driving, it felt like something was holding me back.I drove back to the ice cream shop and parked my car on the spot which I had just driven off from. I glared at the shop from my car and
~Merina Pov~ My eyes lit up in anticipation for his words, but when I had thought he would say something, he tapped my nose and laughed teasingly.“I will tell you if you visit the therapist and the doctor every week. When I see improvement in your health, I will tell you what I think, but if you mention anything about it during that period, then I won’t be telling you!” He said then turned around with his hands in his pocket and left elegantly.I stared at his back in a daze then I realized, I had been teased by him! I pulsed my lips and smiled with my head bowed, and then I turned and went back inside the room. It was not like I didn’t understand Adams was doing this so I would take treatment and this just warms my heart. It’s been a long time since I felt this free and happy and it fills me with delight. It was just a drunken encounter but it has become something I can’t control. I am not dumb to know the thin line between me and Adams but it was also something I didn’t want to
~Merina Pov~ My brain went blank when I heard her words. I looked at her blankly, especially her mouth. I wanted herbtonreleat her words, to make me understand what she meant by that. It felt like something broke in me and also felt like it was normal. Yes, Normal! What have I been thinking about? That he would like me? Besides, looking at the lady he had introduced as Micca, she carried that confident aura, poised and elegant. I snapped out of my daze when she dropped my hand. I clenched my hand and opened it again to clean it on my dress. I didn't know if I should stay or just leave as it would be awkward standing here or sitting with them, but something in me just didn't want to leave, and that was when Adams came back carrying a glass of fruit wine. He smiled at Micca and I noticed he smiled a lot when with her the air between them was peaceful and not awkward at all like it was supposed to be, and not to forget how good they both look standing together. My eyes trembled and
~Adams Pov~ I had felt Merina had behaved strangely during breakfast. She had been silent and she had been avoiding my touch and my eyes. I had felt so uncomfortable but I could say nothing at that moment because Mecca was there at that moment. Micca’s visit had truly been a surprise, and I wasn't able to inform Merina, but thinking about how Merina had no friends, I felt it would be alright to introduce her to Micca, as they truly were of the same age group and Micca was the lively person, but it seems I had made a mistake as Merina didn't say a word during breakfast and even rushed her food before leaving. I only had the opportunity to come up to check on her only after Micca had left. But what I saw on entering left me angry. “Was she feeling pain during breakfast? Is that why she was acting weird? But why didn't she say anything?!” I thought angrily and felt pain seeing her this way but when I rushed to her side to touch her, I was shocked by her push and her words. I looke
~Sofia Pov~I sat in the office of my manager in the company. My eyes were swollen as I had been reading comments and concerns from my fans who were worried about the ban on “In Pains.” I had known people would love the song so much after Liam had given it to me, I had been working on it for over two months and the most painful part of it is that the song had become so popular before it was given a ban which made bloggers throw many allegations and guesses. So now I am here in the company to find a way out of it and hoping there will be a way to lift the ban.I know how precious I am to the company because over the years I had given music scores to the company which turned out great and even the artists of the company respected and loved me, though I know some might be jealous, just like this bitch smirking at me right now in the office of My manager.“Tsk Tsk! I heard your recent single got banned?” She asked and a loud laughter followed which got on my nerves. I gritted my teeth s
~Merina Pov~ Days passed like a blur and it was time for my appointment to the hospital, and this time around, the therapist won't be coming to the house but I will be going to him. I woke and like always, did the same routine and waited in the room for a few minutes before taking my small bag and walking downstairs. I was stunned to see Adams sitting in his usual spot at the table and drinking his morning tea while strolling through his phone. This was also my first time seeing him in glasses, and I could not ignore how elegant and poised he looked in it. I smiled politely when he looked my way and I knew I couldn't avoid him anymore, and I had to go have my breakfast. I had been avoiding Adams since that night, making sure not to encounter him. I stayed in my room when it was morning and only after hearing the sound of his car would I go out and it was the same at night. I don't know what I was avoiding but I knew I didn't want to see him or have a chat with him. I walked to
~Merina Pov~ I stood up immediately after seeing the young man rushing and walking towards me. His footsteps echoed on the ground as he walked so fast toward me. On getting to me, he sighed in relief, then smiled gently, “I forgot to tell the nurses or give you a recommendation letter. So sorry about this, Miss Merina.” He said then turned to the nurse and gave the nurse a hard look which scared the nurse so much that I could see her shiver. “Sorry for the disrespect, Let’s move to my office,” he said then without looking at the nurse who was as silent as a mute, I followed him but not without giving the female driver a gentle look to assure her. I sat in the office facing Doctor Ralph, I watched him bring out a book and give me one, then to my surprise he didn’t bother saying anything and only began working on his papers after I took the book that looked like a novel from him. “What should I do with this?” I asked blankly. He looked at me with that sad gentle smile, “I just
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.
