~Adams Pov~

I hit the phone on the table with a loud thud, making Merina jump. I rubbed my face, feeling a headache coming on. My mom was the one on the phone. My secretary announced to me that she was waiting for me downstairs and needed to see me. Of all days, she had to choose today to visit. I didn't want her to meet Merina. My family…they were a bit…judgemental. I knew my mom would make a fuss, and I wasn't going to let her upset Merina.

Merina's voice startled me. "Is everything alright?" she asked, her eyes filled with concern.

"No," I lied, "It's nothing. Just have your rest." I persuaded her.

"You don't look alright," she insisted. "Are you tired?" She asked again looking nervous and worried.

But then I scoffed, "I'm fine and better but you need to have your rest."

She smiled softly, and I had to resist the urge to pull her into my arms.

She mouthed, looking shy, "You look tired too."

I smiled gently, "Yeah, I will be fine but you need your own rest." I insisted.

She shook

    ~Adams POV~ I froze. That tiny voice…Merina. I knew it was her. Panic and nervousness twisted in my gut. Had she heard our conversation? I stood up slowly and looked at her at the entrance of the door. She was standing there, looking dazed, like she was still half-asleep. Maybe even sleepwalking. Relief washed over me. She was adorable, her eyes half-closed, her hair a mess. My heart softened. "Phew!" I breathed a sigh of relief. I was glad she didn't hear us, or it would have been a very bad one. Merina is very fragile, and she doesn't need to know such bad news, or she wouldn't take it lightly. She had been beating herself up the whole time about how she was sick and near death and it was only because of my intervention that she had been able to control her resolve. I walked over to her and gently pulled her into a hug. Then I scooped her up in my arms and carried her to the couch in my office. She snuggled into my lap, resting her head on my chest, and then she fell asleep

    ~Adam Pov~ I didn't wait to hear her response and left her room after dropping my words but I heard her whisper, “Yes, you are Adams Nart…” I got into my car and asked the driver to drive off. I was getting late and wouldn't want to miss the meeting that I have been scheduling for over two months now. I have been trying to acquire land abroad for the past four months which has proven to be so hard but I am glad it was becoming successful and all I need is to successfully sign the contract with the other party who wants to sell their land to me. I just hope it goes successfully as the land is important.I went through the information of the people I was about to meet through my email again to grasp their character. One of the reasons for my successful career is because of my carefulness. I make sure I study the people I deal with so I won't be at a disadvantage and it has proven effective as I will always be one or two steps ahead of my competitors and partners. The car drove into

I don't care who represents the other side as long as the person doesn't go against their words. Sean looked at me with awkwardness but there was no time to waste so I ignored him and took my suit jacket before leaving the office.I walked to the meeting room with a serious look on my face, and seeing the others already seated I walked towards them with a calm face.“Hello, President Nart. I have heard a lot about you.” The lady who seemed to be the one leading the group and who Sean had talked about stood up and stretched her hand forward with a smile on her face. “Hello, Miss…?” I raise my eyebrow in question. “Oh! I am Linda Smallwood, manager of the Smallwood enterprise.” She said with a proud smile on her face then stretched out her hand again, “Sorry for the impromptu visit. My father fell ill and we didn't want to delay Presid

    ~Merina Pov~I didn't find it boring sitting alone in the quiet room. I am used to being alone so I find it normal. I had used the medicine given to me by Adams after I ate this morning and since then I had sat down alone next to the window as I watched the sunshine and the garden.I sat looking without any movement, without any thoughts. I just sat there looking out of the window with a clear mind, until a knock on the door shook me. I wasn't able to react as no one would come to my room to check up on me or call me but then I remembered things had changed and I was not in the Downtown home but Adams. I gulped when I heard the knock again, “Miss, are you okay? Are you sleeping? Can you please say a word?” My chest tightened as I realized someone had truly come to check on me and asked me if I was okay.Listening to her pacing worriedly, I realized I was supposed to answer the woman and calm her down so I jumped down from the chair I was sitting in and rushed to the door, then flung

    ~Merina Pov ~I looked at the little pink piano placed at the side of the small playhouse in a daze. I wished I could touch it, but I knew it was rude as I had no idea who owned it. I sighed and looked at it in a daze then moved to walk away with my head bowed but suddenly I stopped again, I couldn’t stop The longing in my heart.“It will be okay to touch it a little right? Just a little. They wouldn’t blame me, right?” I asked muttering to myself then as if I had gained confidence, I walked back to the playhouse and walked quietly to the piano.I looked at the beautiful pink piano and then touched it after hesitating for some time. I looked around and seeing no one I walked to the little chair and sat down then I looked at the piano like I wanted to dig my eyes into it. My heart couldn’t start beating faster the more I looked at it, “Mum…” I muttered softly as my eyes watered with my lips trembled.How can I not be amazed? This was exactly my type of piano, my very first piano whic

    ~Adams Pov ~I felt Merina jump at the yell of Lucas and then remember she was not used to my brother who has always been dramatic. I turned around and glared at him, making him flinch. Then he held his lips panicky but his eyes kept looking at me pleadingly.I ignored him and looked at the pace they were looking at before I interrupted them. I furrowed my brows at the piano which had shifted and the little pink chair which had fallen to the ground. I felt Merina let out a shallow sighed then I heard her tiny voice, “I am sorry.” She said then bowed her head before removing her hand from mine.I frowned in confusion, then I remembered what Lucas had said when I came in—She was playing the piano. I raised her head and then held her face in between my hands, making sure she fixed her eyes on me. “What are you sorry for? For playing the piano?” I asked and I saw her eyes shake with embarrassment as she tried lowering her head more but I didn't let her. “Why are you looking down, hmm?

And I don't think I have seen her in the upper class either.” I went rigid at his question but I controlled my emotions and remained indifferent, ignoring him as I continued to type on my system but even I didn't know what I was typing as I felt my heart clenched.My family is one of the aristocrats in the country and they believe in equal standing which I have never bothered with since It was none of my business.

    ~Merina Pov~I was stunned by his question, but I immediately shook my head. I lowered my head and chuckled, why would I want to go with him? Besides, does this man see me as his possession? Why do I have to be wherever he is? I breathed a sigh of relief and then gave him a small smile.“Are you sure?” He asked with his brow furrowed in a frown and I felt speechless. I turned to look at his brother and felt awkward about all this. To be honest, I have always felt overwhelmed by his attention and care and the fact that whenever he looks at me, I see his Possessiveness which makes me uncomfortable and also comfortable at the same time. The feelings are so confusing and tiring.“I-I am fine. You can go on your trip and I will be fine.” I replied then smiled before digging into my breakfast without looking up again.He raised his brow, then replied with a “Huh!” which confused me but I am glad he didn't ask again. ************I faced the mirror with an indifferent look then combed my

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

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 had always known the couple as a loving couple and they were childhood sweethearts who later got married.
