~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
~Merina Pov~ I was shocked after hearing the news. I felt so helpless and worried but I decided to stay calm as I believed in Adams as he could handle it like he had said and it's just the news making a mountain out of a hill as that's their usual way of doing things. I pulsed my lips and tried calming my throbbing heart, I noticed the aunty hadn't heard what was being said on the TV and I also didn't say a word but staggered back to my room with tension written all over my face. I took out my phone and my fingers lingered on the number I wished to call but thinking of how tired he would be at this moment and how busy he was, I decided not to, then I clicked on the message box to send him a message but then what if he gets so worried after seeing my message? I threw my phone on the bed and sat with a dull face. I hate how helpless I am. I swallowed hard, picked up my phone then opened the internet to stroll through. I smiled sadly to myself, as this was something rare and strange
~Merina Pov~ My head tilted to the side with my palm on my face. I stiffened in disbelief and then trembled from the pain. I could feel my ears ringing from the sound of the sound and my head felt like it was about to burst out. Tears poured out of my eyes at the pain and I felt so confused at everything going on. “She had just slapped me? She slapped me!” I asked myself in disbelief. “How could you hit her, Madam!” The housekeeper's angry yell sounded in the room which woke me up from my trance. I raised my head up and silently looked at her, though I still had my palm on my face, my ear was still ringing and painful and I could still feel the pounding pain in my head, I knew I couldn't show weakness at this moment and I can't let her know I am sick. I swallowed hard and brought down my hand from my cheeks showing a striking red finger mark. My cheeks had swollen at rapid speed, not surprised though, as my skin has always been sensitive. The housekeeper's panicky face appear
~Merina Pov~ I watched in confusion when she yelled out, I blinked once then twice, and decided to just wait. No matter what she brings, I will take it. I folded my arms and watched her smug face then I heard the sound of footsteps and when we turned around, I saw her guards coming up the stairs. I looked at them in suspicion then turned to look at Aunty too and she looked as confused as I am. Madam Nart looked at me then smirked as she held her bag well and pointed at her like she was on some kind of diet, “Throw her out of my son’s house! I don't want to know how much she begs and whatever she says, and she must go out with one single thing. Everything she owns belongs to my son!” She ordered and without waiting for me to recover from my shock, she walked off proudly. I gasped as I watched the guards come closer to me. I moved back but they were faster as they caught my hands. “Hey! Leave me alone! Don't touch me!” I yelled angrily but they wouldn't listen and all I got was a s
~Adams Pov~ I walked out of the shareholder meeting which has been going on for the past 4 hours. I felt so irritated and tired as I hadn't eaten or drunk anything in hours. I frowned when I saw the time on my watch and seeing it was almost midnight, I contemplated if I should stay the night at the office and finish everything, or I should go home to work but looking at the time and remembering the intense meetings I had today, I decided to just stay over and then go home by morning. I slumped down on the chair and looked around for my phone then I realized it was with Adeline, my Assistant. I frowned and punched her number on my office phone and in no time, she picked up the call. “Boss!” His crispy voice rang out. I furrowed my brows, “Where is my phone?” I asked sharply. I remembered I had always told them not to hold my things and they should always be next to me but it seemed she was forgetting the rules I laid. “Huh…Sir, so sorry about that, I will rush toward the office
~Merina Pov~ I walked inside the villa without looking around as it was rude to do that. I followed the butler inside the house and was welcomed by a loud voice that brought a smile to my face. “Little Merina!” His voice sounded energetic for his age but it also seemed normal. I walked closer to him and greeted him with a smile, “Teacher!” I said then he laughed happily. I couldn't help but be amused by him and the depressing thoughts that filled my mind minutes ago disappeared and what was left was warmth. I looked at him with a real smile and not the one I had always put on then bowed in gratefulness. “Thank you for allowing me in, Teacher!” I thanked him and raised my head to reveal my eyes which were filled with gratitude and unshed tears. Minutes ago when I had been thinking of where to go while having dinner in the restaurant, Maestro Wills, who is now my teacher, came in and I suddenly had a wide idea which I thought was good. Though I had just met this old man somehow I c
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.
