Melanie strode behind Mr Gordon into the store with her hands intertwined to her front. Archie remains inside the car, staring at them till they are completely out of his sight.What just happened? He thought as he couldn't think of any reason that would make his father take his babysitter into the store.“Oh, if she gets into trouble I won't forgive myself because it was all my idea.” he groans, rubbing his face with his palm.He tries opening the car door to go check what is going on inside the store and he cursed as he's unable to open it.“I’m stuck in here, what should I do?” He thought and continue banging his shoulder on the car, hoping it'll unlock. After many tries that seem fruitless, Archie gives up trying and just relaxes in the car waiting for their return.After his father knock on the window earlier, Melanie steps down to meet him, and the only thing he could hear his father say was…‘Come with me.’That's all he had said and they walked inside the store not earning an
Alfred’s P.O.VAfter leaving Melanie in the care of Hannah, I walk back to the guy that came to attend to me earlier. He bows his head a little as I move closer to him by his desk.“Are you shopping?” He asks me calmly, standing up to his feet.“No, but I won't be here to welcome her. Please debit me her bills, here!” I utter, dropping my black card on his desk.I turn around to walk away but suddenly halt and turn my gaze back to the guy.“Do treat her well,” I added and the guy nodes his head in the affirmative.“Good!” I smile inwardly and finally walk out of the store.“Melanie please help me!” I mumble the moment I step outside.January climate is still very cold which makes the evening cold very pleasant to the body of those that had a sweater on. I adjust the white hairy sweater on my body and inhale the sweet scent of the air with my gaze shut tight.“How much I love the smell of evening breeze.” I smile and a moan escapes my mouth.I open back my eyes and a sigh retreat
Alfred P.O.V continues“What does that suppose to me?” I furrow my brows.“Don’t ask me that. You should know I'll never tag myself as part of the Gordon.” He grumbles.Archie brushed his shoulder against my chest as he makes his way inside. I open my mouth in shock, unable to comprehend what just happened.“Is that my son?” I ask no one in particular, I watch Archie till he's completely out of sight.I mean, Archie is the one that has been making it obvious all these while, trying to get Mia’s attention and now that he's getting his babysitter's attention, he doesn't care about any other things. And did he not disown his family just now?“Should I worry about this?” I sigh.I walk inside the house and make my way to my room. Getting inside, I rush to the bathroom to have a quick shower.“Did Archie just disown his own family?” I ask myself and growled under the shower as I couldn't find myself to get him off my mind.I walk out of the bathroom minutes later with a head towel wrap
MELANIE’S P.O.V The drives to God knows where is so tense. Mr Gordon isn't saying anything to me concerning where he's taking me, and the intense feeling of following him to where I don't know is starting to eat me up.After he told me to smile earlier and I asked him to confirm what I heard, he hasn't said anything since then and I'm starting to feel bother about it.Come to think of it, he said where he's taking me is to serve my punishment for taking his son out, yet he bought me a dress that could cost a fortune.Just what is going on in his head? I thought, not getting a hint of what is happening.But wherever he's taking me to must be important. Judging by his sediment dressing and how he had me all doll up. Don't get it wrong, Mr Gordon has always been dressing dazzlingly but, there's excess in his tonight outfit and it’s obvious that he's going to somewhere important.But if it's that important then why is he taking me along with him? I sigh and smack my head lightly against
MELANIE’S P.O.V“Should I invite her over to the table? She has be dying to meet you.” Mia smirk and I stare at her with disgust.I swear, if you ask me what I hate the most then I'll tell you “It’s introducing my man to another woman” huh, how can that be? She sees me here, and still have the gut to talk trash about asking an outsider to the table.I furrows my brows at Mr Gordon to hear what he is going to say, and just as I thought he ordered Mia to invite her over.Is he just dumb or he's testing my patience?“Who is she anyways?” Mr Gordon asks. He pick up his own wine and lift the glass to his mouth.“Mitchell Brooks? Well, her father is the ex chairman of this foundation, Nathaniel Brooks. She studied business management in Canada and she fly down to NYC when her father had an accident. So, she's still around and I guess she's going to fill in her father's position until he gets back to his feet.” Mia let out and Mr Gordon let out an ‘oh’.I would be lying if I said I'm
Melani’s P.O.V continuesThe drive back home is hushed as we're both tight-lipped. None of us refused to say anything and it’s starting to make me feel bothered.He was behaving like my boyfriend a while ago, and here he is, not saying anything to me. I clear my throat for the umpteen times and rub my palm together.I rest my head on the air vent as the drama he pulls at the party rush through my memory.**“Mitchell meet my fiancee. Her name is Melanie.” Mr Gordon says and my eyes widen in shock.Is he being serious right now? I blush as I look sideways. The songs playing in the background and the constant click-clack of shoes on the dance floor make it impossible for people to hear or pay attention to us. They are all engrossed with their partners.“Oh, is she the one?” Mitchell asks with a disgusting sound in her voice.I dart my attention to her. Honestly, if I take every possible insult from people, I can't take it if people look down on me.“Yes, I am the one.” I smile, stre
Mr Gordon clicks on the ‘send’ icon on the system and he smiles before he shut down the laptop.“That was a nice way to start afresh with father.” he chuckles and stretches his figure lazily on the reading seat.“That old man thinks he can make me marry again after what he had done? If not for the sake of Mia, I would have had his business go down the drain with me, but no I won't do that.” he groans and closes the notebook on the table.He stands up from the seat and drags his feet to the mini fridge in his room.He brings out a can of soft drinks and opens the lid.‘Long enough that we should have had a kid in elementary school by nowHe could still hear the words of Melanie to Mitchell echoes in his head.“I’ve never seen that side of her before, so bold and fearless.” he compliments and smiled before gulping down the drinks down his throat.He feels relaxed and he closes the fridge before walking out of his study with the can in his hand.‘I can't wait to see her face again’ He c
After running away from the dining room, Archie strides out of the exit, walking toward the path that leads to the back of the mansion.He put his hand inside his pant pocket and brings out a meat drumstick. “Awww, thank goodness I was able to slip this in my pocket before scrambling out from the dining. If not, I would have been stuck here without having anything to chew on.” He giggles, munching on the meat as soon as he takes a bite from it.“Hmm, so yummy!” He moans out in a Mouthful of meat.“No doubt, Auntie is a good cook!” he smiles, raising the meat to his face.He continues his walk to the back of the mansion. There he sees his pet cage and he falls to his knees.“Hey, buddy!” he exclaims, opening the cage and bringing out his pet.He holds the bunny in his hands and stares at it with care.“You look all fat and healthy.” he giggles as the bunny rubs his ear on his thumb.“You good?” Archie asks, even though he knew he won't be getting any answers from his pet.He runs his
