Melanie’s p.o.vIt has been a week since we left the mansion and I can say I'm doing a good job of taking care of my two children. I’d drop them off at school in the morning and they will hail a cab back home in the afternoon.After telling Archie what happened in the past, he was still confused about the house, well, he told me he had been to Mom’s former house before and he was curious about how the house changed. Well, I got Mom our new home a day before the incident. My daughter was so happy that she begged Mom to put her on the phone. She thanked me and told me how much she loves me; something she has never done before.I was literally broke after paying for the house with my last card. I decide to get back to the company and see if I'm still eligible to work at the Gordons. I never heard from Alfred and I tried calling him on several occasions but his line was not reachable.I would be lying if I say I'm not worried about him. He's my baby-daddy after all.I have resumed back to
Melanie’s p.o.vSitting on the reading desk in my room, I have a stack of unfinished files on my desk to work on and I have to complete it this night. I decided to work from home today, just so I could escape from my stalker. At least I will be safe at home than on the street.I called March earlier this morning and informed her that I won't be able to come to work. She pester me until I had to lie to her again. I told her I was sick and I won't be able to drive myself to work. After telling me ‘sorry’, and a lot of ‘you will be fine’, she hung up the call and I couldn't ask for more.It's night already and I've been working my ass off since daybreak. I raised the last file to my face, checking out what was written in it. Honestly, I have been going through this particular file for the past fifty minutes and I could swear I don't understand a shit that was written in the file. “How now?” I groan tiredly, dropping it back to the table. “Just when I thought I’ll finally get everything
Kayla steps down from the cab, pays the driver and watches him drive away without wasting any seconds. She glance at the hotel in front of her eyes and she let out a muffled scream. The hotel is a five-star hotel and it has been booked for the night ‘just for her’.Her shoulder-length hair is shining under the moonlight. Her long black dress sweeps the floor after her; the slit on her dress exposes her sexy long legs every moment she takes a step. She wears light makeup that you wouldn't notice she is wearing unless she tells you. Her long fingers curl around her red purse.A lady in a white long-sleeve shirt over a black pencil skirt walks up to her, she stops right in front of Kayla and bows slightly to her. Kayla had her eyes fixed on the lady's leg and her mouth curved in a beautiful smile, seeing how the lady’s legs rest perfectly inside her black heels.“Ms Dean,” the lady called, jotting Kayla out of her thoughts. “This way please,” she says in a British accent that makes Kayla
Kayla’s p.o.vI slam my fist against the steering wheel, driving recklessly to Gordon's mansion. ‘Shit’, I curse under my breath. The bug makes a buzz and I hastily fix it on my ear. I couldn't hear anything other than the sound of moving vehicles.“Shit! They're taking her in their car.” I know that much, if it's Melanie’s car they're taking I would have gotten the location by now.It's all my fault! She trusted me with her life and I betrayed her. My best friend is in danger and the only thing I could do is to go on a stupid date. How nice of me! “Melanie will be so scared; she doesn't have the mind for all this.” I sniffle back my tears. This is not the time to wail, but I couldn't stop my tears, they have a mind of their own.“I won't forgive myself if they hurt Mel.” I tighten my grip on the steering wheel, boiling in anger. I grab my phone from the passenger seat and stare at the blank screen for a while.I punch in some digits and put a call across to the PI I have in the Gord
It has been a while since Melanie left the house to get groceries at the nearby store. Archie who has been waiting outside for her return gets tired of waiting and decides to go look for her at the store.He walks into the living room to see Granny Vera pacing to and fro in the living room. Archie moves his gaze to the couch to see Skye sleeping soundly on the couch. He carefully walks up to Granny Vera in an attempt to not wake the girl up from sleep.“Granny Vera, didn't you say the store is just a stone's throw from here?” he ask the poor woman who has been worried sick about her daughter, who has went to get groceries exactly an hour ago.“Yes, the store is just a few blocks away from here and she ought to have gotten back by now.” She replies, her voice breaks due to how cold she feels.“Oh,” Archie sighs for the nth time. “Have you tried calling her? I call her here and she's not picking up,” he complains, showing his phone to the woman.“I tried calling, but her line was not r
Melanie woke up to the sound of a heavy booth thumping on the floor, she groans and opens her eyes only to meet with blurry faces in the room. She tries moving her hands but she feels her hands have been tied to her back.“Ahh,” she groans. Shaking her head to steady her vision but it seems impossible.“Guess someone is finally awake after being asleep for over an hour.” A voice chuckles beside her which makes her almost jump from her seat.Melanie twirl her face to where the voice is coming from, she could swear she has heard that voice before but she doesn't remember where.“Who… Who are you?” She grumbles and then a bucket of chill water was poured on her head from the back, the water dripping down from her head to her toes.Melanie shiver as her vision become clear and her eyes met with the clear face of the lady in front of her. “Mia Gordon!” she gasps in shock, moving back a little on her seat which makes the iron chair make an awful noise.“Yes,” Mia chuckle standing up from th
Melanie's p.o.v“Hello, my dear, Melanie!” a cheerful, yet deadly voice says my name by the door, followed by a pair of legs walking in.I glance at the door and the sight before me left my mouth hanging open in shock.I feel a sickening chill run through my body and blood draining from my system as I drop to my knees from the shock of what I'm seeing. “You!” I scream in terror as I watch Harley enter the room with my baby, Skye in her grips.“What are you doing here with my child, Harley?” I yell, I try breaking free and run up to save my child from these demons, but again, I couldn't break free from the rope that tied me down to the iron chair.“Relax baby girl, nothing is going to happen to your family, only if you do what we want,” Harley smirks down at me and I feel the urge to punch her in the face.Terror is visible on my baby's face, she's afraid of the scene before her and fears they might do something to her if I let her remain in their possession. The tears on her face call
Alfred cries bitterly while listening to the confession Mia and Harley were making, through the bug. Kayla smirked and tighten her grip on the steering wheel. None of them could believe that their closest person was the one behind everything.“Who would think my cousin could do such a thing!” Kayla laughs in amusement. Right now all she's feeling is rage.“Kayla, I trusted her with everything. I've loved and adored her all these years and I never for once had the thought that she might be behind her death. She always talked about Selena with a smile on her face.” Alfred sobs quietly, clutching tight at his phone in his hand.“Mia too?! I never thought someone that I took as my sister would plant my death because of a mere fortune, why?” he ask no one in particular. “If she should have sat me down and narrated everything to me, I would have told my uncle to forget about giving me anything, I've had enough, I don't need any of my father's properties, I should have told them to take eve
