I don't know much about projects like this but I think I managed to make you understand how serious of a problem this is.
~Micca Pov~ Sitting in the office of the man I hate the most but have no other option than to join hands with him. I sat with my legs crossed and my arms folded together watching him talk with his assistant. I pulsed my lips in nervousness but my face was so calm like what they were talking about didn't concern me until he mentioned something which shocked me into standing up. “What do you mean by informing the media?!” I asked in a shocked voice. Mark and his assistant turned to look at me with annoyance, “Sit down, Micca!” Mark said with irritation. I clenched and unclenched my fist and I felt fear fill me. My eyes flashed with hatred, I gritted my teeth and wiped my sweaty hands on my dress, “I thought you said you just wanted to do something to teach that bitch a lesson, and it's not something hard. Why are you involving the media? Besides, what exactly did you do?!” I asked angrily. The more I thought about it, the more I got angry, and without caring about anything, I u
~Merina Pov~ I have been in the room for hours without going out as Adams has instructed. I didn't know anybody here and I wouldn't come out so as not to cause trouble for Adams. I had just finished eating the dinner brought to me by the hotel room service when I heard the hotel phone ring. My heart went on alert as I didn't think anyone would call, but then I calmed down thinking it might be the hotel service. I walked to the phone and picked it up then I heard a lady who introduced herself as the receptionist. My furrowed brows loosened up as a shallow smile showed on my face. “Hello?” I greeted them with confusion wanting to know why she was calling. “Miss, you have a visitor and I have to ask if you are expecting someone.” She asked. I was stunned for a while as I didn't know anyone here and Adams didn't tell me anything about someone coming over. “Who is that, please? Can you ask for the person’s name?” I asked curiously. I waited, then I heard some sounds but I couldn't
~Merina Pov~ “I would love to have a nice talk with Merina,” Micca smirked after she said so then locked eyes with me boldly. I locked eyes with her and then curled up my lips. My eyes were filled with gentleness as I looked at her and this seemed to surprise her as the smile on her face cooled off then she looked away. I smiled to myself as I knew this would always work—Smile. I have always smiled when faced with people who expect responses from me. I had been provoked lots of times in the past, either at the college or by Sofia’s friends who thought they could bully me. Whenever they try bullying me and expect a response from me, I throw them a smile which seems to annoy them so I have learned to do that, and now I am used to this. Though I knew Micca’s coming here was not a coincidence and the conversation wouldn't go as please, who cares? “Oh! I am getting older and I forgot your brother, Adams would have introduced you both to each other. You both can be—” “He is not my
~Micca Pov~ “Impossible! You can't take her as your student, Grandpa Wills!” I yelled out agitatedly. I don't understand how things got to this. Why does she keep getting the good thing?! She can't be his student, I won't allow it! Because if she does, then she would have one more person protecting her and that would be hard. Everyone knows being a student of Grandpa Wills brings nothing but success and lots of connection. Don't look at this old man as just an ordinary Maestro, he is also a retired politician and has lots of connections, he is connected to the military, the law, and businesses. This old man has a wide range of connections which is also why I got very close to him and so far he has been useful. Then imagine Merina being as close as a student to him. No! K can't let this happen, I can't! Grandpa Wills looked at me with doubt and furrowed brows, “Micca, do you have something against Merina? I thought you both were familiar with each other and she is your brother’s
~Merina Pov~ I watched how Micca accused me of things I didn't commit and suddenly felt angry. I felt tired and angry especially when Grandpa Wills had mentioned Adams. My breathing became haggard but I had to keep calm because I knew I if lost control, it would make her right. I could feel my head pounding, it aches so much making me nauseous, but I clenched my fist and endured it, at least until this had been cleared. I can't disappoint Adams. I just can't do that! “I didn't!” I gritted out then opened my eyes and looked at Grandpa Wills in the eyes, “I didn't! This is my song and Sofis had stolen it which is why it was banned by Adams! I don't know if you believe me or not, but I can prove it to you in any way, that this song is mine!” The more I talked, the more courageous I grew. Grandpa Wills looked at me, then suddenly asked, “How can you prove it?” My eyes turned blurry but I forced down the bile in my throat and looked at Micca who looked proud as she crossed her arms
~Adams Pov~ I drove into the parking lots of the hotel and threw the car keys to the security man who stood on standby. I pinched the middle of my brows then walked tiredly into the hotel, and took the elevator back to my room. I wonder how Merina is faring as I had left her here without even calling her phone which I hadn't realized as I was too busy taking care of the aftermath. My tie was crooked and my shirt was unbuttoned down to my chest area. My eyes were heavy and all I wanted to do was hug Merina to sleep. Though I was feeling so tired, I didn't show it on my face and kept my hands in my pockets, and made my face expressionless and very calm. One thing I don't want is to keep Merina stressed about me, she has a lot on her mind and I wouldn't want to add to her stress, especially when she has regained some of her vitality. I smiled thinking of my woman, and I suddenly didn't feel tired anymore, I only felt eagerness and irritation at the slow Elevator. Immediately it got t
~Adams Pov~ I felt so angry seeing the video. It all started with Maestro Wills coming to see Merina with Micca following along and though I was surprised seeing Micca there I wasn't shocked because she was close with Grandpa Wills too. I watched as Grandpa Wills talked with Merina and then Merina grew anxious and then Micca said something and brought her phone out to show them something. Even from the video which had no sound, I could feel the tension and also felt Merina's frustration which made me curious about what was being shown in the video. I kept on watching the argument up until Merina and Micca began fighting and they seemed so riled up but I could see Micca had provoked my woman! “Nonsense! How dare she?!” I muttered angrily under my breath. I took in rapid breaths to calm myself down. Though I didn't know what they had said or what was going on one thing I know is there was something between Merina and Micca and it was Micca who had provoked Merina. I closed my ey
~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
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.
