OBSESSION OF THE HEIR
CHAPTER 11 THE OTHER SIDE OF MEYRIN

Meyrin led them to the dining room. Soga handed his son over to one of the bodyguards to be thrown into the guest room. They enjoy dinner quietly, until ….

Bruk!

Someone fell down on the floor. All shocked, Yuki shouted in fear as well as the Goddess. Leah immediately moved from her chair to move her feet towards the person who fell down.

Leah looked at Daniel and Meyrin, the three of them talking through the eyes until a nod of the head was given by Daniel. Meyrin immediately came out of the dining room, she picked up a P3K box in her room.

Lea covered the gunshot wound of that person who kept bleeding. Yuki who saw that was nauseous and wanted to vomit, as well as the Goddess. Unlike the case with Rico and Soga who stared in disbelief at the scene in front of him.

Rico and Soga escorted his wife to the bathroom according to Lea's directions. The four of them crossed paths with Meyrin who looked calm but her aura became cold and cruel. Same with the eye light that the woman gave off.

Meyrin went into the dining room, there were already a few bodyguards preparing to take orders. Meyrin sat down beside the man who was shot. He started taking gauze and giving it to Lea little by little to stop the bleeding.

Daniel was no longer in the dining room. He took Emily in his shelter in one of the rooms in Meyrin's penthouse. He started calling Jack aka Ken.

"Have ambulances been contacted?" ask Meyrin.

"Already, Miss."

Rico and Soga re-entered the dining room. After earlier they brought Dewi and Yuki in a safe room with one bodyguard. There were blood stains on the floor as well as the hands of Meyrin and her personal assistant. The two men stared in disbelief at Meyrin especially with the incident just now.

For both of them, the incident just now was only in action movies. However, today he witnessed firsthand and witnessed that the scene in the action film actually happened in the real world.

"La.. la—" Rico could not name her best friend in shock.

"Call Meyrin, please," implored Meyrin by looking at the faces of the two men standing beside her.

"Meyrin, all safe. There's nothing suspicious, I've confirmed it with Jack" Daniel said.

"Good, dad."

Before long, several medical teams came and started doing first aid on the person who was shot. Meyrin went from there to the room, changed her clothes that had blood stains. While Lea joined the medical team to the hospital.

"Bring this for, Lea. Go to the hospital with two more bodyguards." Meyrin came out of the room and gave a paper bag to one of the bodyguards there.

"Why and what is it?" asked Rico did not understand the conditions that suddenly occurred.

"Stay in the dining room. We'll move to the living room" Meyrin said.

The woman looked around before inviting the men into the living room.

"Bring my best friend and Lily here!" Laras gave his orders to one of the bodyguards standing in front of the living room door.

****************

Emily, Dewi and Yuki just walked into the living room. There is a new dessert and snack menu. The three of them sat down at their respective places. Meyrin exhaled her long breath, preparing the heart to open the old wounds.

"Sorry for what happened in the dining room. Rico, Dewi, Yuki and Soga, let me introduce you to my father, Daniel Arlington. Without me to explain, you already know who my father is. Next to her is Emily, my beloved step-sister. Our age is the same only a few months apart." Meyrin introduced two members of her family.

"So?" ask Rico.

"So yaah .. as you see. I am Laras and Laras is Meyrin" Meyrin replied as she spread her shoulders.

"Why did you change your face, Mey?" ask Yuki.

"What do you mean?" it was the turn of the Goddess to ask.

"Meyrin."

"Sister."

Daniel and Emily's call simultaneously made Meyrin's friends look at them. Meyrin simply smiled and replied with a nod of her head. Convince the remaining two members of his family. He also convinced his heart to reopen old wounds that never escaped the shadow of a Meyrin.

Meyrin was silent for quite a while. The atmosphere became quiet again. The companions waited for Meyrin to tell her a story without urging her. They knew that the thing Meyrin wanted to tell was no ordinary story.

Meyrin breathed her long breath. He stared straight ahead, breaking through the layers of glass to see the night sky decorated with the sparkling lights in Lunar City. A piece of memory two years ago turned back in his memory.

"I'm confused where to start. It's not a short story, it might take the rest of the four of you." Meyrin looked at her guests.

"No problem, as long as you're ready to tell a story," Rico breaks up who is answered a nod of the head by Dewi, Yuki and Soga.

"Maybe I'll start when we split up in Indonesia three years ago" Meyrin said.

"At that time, the night before the wedding of Goddess and Rico, I learned the truth about Daniel and William's father. Not only that, at the wedding I knew that William was not of the social strata like us, he was the same as father." Meyrin stopped her story.

The deg!

Meyrin looked at her three best friends, including Soga. Feeling stared at, the three of them lowered their heads. They feel guilty for taking part in hiding William's identity.

"But that wasn't the case ..., the problem happened the moment after William and I left Indonesia."

The Goddess, Yuki and Rico again raised their heads. The wrinkles of confusion clearly adorned their foreheads. There was a disappointed and fragile tone in every Meyrin remark.

"At that time, William gave me a surprise that even today still feels and is remembered by me. At that time, I felt like I was the luckiest wife in the world. Unfortunately fate says otherwise, I have to end all this." Meyrin lowered her head, her eyes looking foggy.

All quiet, waiting for the continuation of the story of Meyrin. What fate should make William and Meyrin part. They know very well how great the love between the two is. It seemed that Meyrin inhaled air and exhaled with her long breath slowly.

"At that time, for the first time I met my father and Ken. I immediately realized that everything Ken had been doing all this time was just to take care of me at my father's behest. It was my graduation day and William's. There ... there Ken and Dad were present. I decided to spend the night at Arlington's mansion. I want to get to know my new family. Unfortunately, not with William, he ... he .. he …."

"Did William's paranoia recur and not allow you to spend the night in the mansion?" rico asked chimed in on Meyrin's hesitant words.

Meyrin nodded her head, "Yes and we got into a small quarrel. Until I decided to stay in the mansion."

After answering that, Meyrin went back into silence. He hesitated to tell his next story. He saw the father who gave support with his eyes. Unlike the case with Emily who raised her clenched hand made Meyrin smile.

"After that, William used his power to harm Ken with the help of Nikolai's mafia uncle."

"Geez!"
