MASONMelanie and I drove home in silence. She tried to start a conversation with me several times but I just ignored her. I did not want to talk to her. I had no idea what I would to her if I looked at her face. She really disgusted me. She could actually do such mean things to someone as nice as Tiana! What did Tiana do to deserve being treated like that? I headed for my room immediately we arrived at the palace. I did not want to spend even a second more with her. Melanie went after me. "You know, you won't be able to avoid me forever. I am your sister and we need to talk about this. We can't just keep ignoring each other like this," she said as she pushed her way into my bedroom. "I don't want to talk to you Melanie. And you shouldn't be trying to talk to me either. Not when I am super mad at you tonight. Can you please just leave?" I asked her without turning to look at her. I did not want to face her. What Alex said was that truth. Melanie did all of the things that she
MASON"Is Alex close with Tiana?" I asked slowly. Melanie scoffed at me. "Are you asking me that question? Can't you see what's going on for yourself? Or you don't want to face what is in front of you? Anyway that woman is not who you think she is st all! She's a dangerous person who only knows how to pretend. You had better stay away from her if you know what's good for you or else....ha! I don't want to talk about the things that she's going to do to you!" Melanie said coldly. I frowned at her. "That's enough from you, Melanie. You have done a lot of things that I have ignored over the years but that does not mean that I am going to keep doing it. Tiana has done nothing to you. She didn't even want this marriage in the first place. She's just going along with what she has been told to do. Please stop bullying her like this because you and I know that she doesn't deserve to go through any of this shit!" I yelled at Melanie. I should have known better than to ask her anything ab
MASONShe had pure fear on her face now but I did not care. This was the only way I could get to act right. "Mason you can't....you can't do this to me. Remember what our parents said. They said that you should take care of me. You have to take care of me. Don't tell me that you are going to disobey their words and go back on the promise that you made to them?" Melanie asked me tearfully. I rolled my eyes. She was so shameless that she woke even use our dead parents. "Yes. Our parents had told me to take care of you. And I have every intention of doing that. But if you're going to act like a brat all the time then I am sorry but I can't do anything for you. It won't be my business then. I already said what I wanted to say. Get your act right, or else you can get out of the palace. You can go ahead and do whatever you want...hurt whoever you want. You will surely get punished for it then!" I yelled at her. Melanie looked like she wanted to throw a tantrum. But when she looked at my
TIANAI had spent the night in the room that I had woken up in. Alex and I did not say anything to each other thought-out the night. It seemed that he was still mad at me and I was too pissed at myself for being so silly to even care. I was the one who brought it all on me. If I had been even a little bit more smarter than all of this really would not have happened. I had no one else but myself to blame for this. I got up from the bed slowly, and started to make for the door. There was no reason for me to continue to stay here. Now that I was awake and the drug had left my system, I had to go back to the palace and confront whatever was waiting for me there. If I did not say anything about what Melanie had tried to me to do yesterday then she would really believe that she could do it again. She would try to get me raped and accused again. I was just a few steps to the door when the door was pushed open and Alex walked in. He was carrying a bag in his hang. It seemed as if there wa
TIANAMelanie bowed her head looking ashamed but I did not want to fall for her tricks anymore. I looked at Mason, who also had a guilty smile on his face. What Alex had told me came back into my mind. He knew about all that had happened. He knew what his sister had done and yet he was still going to cover-up for her. He just did not care at all. '"Tiana....please calm down. I think that there has been some kind of misunderstanding here and you are very tight to be angry about what almost happened to you, yesterday. We can talk about this and get to the bottom of it," mason told me. I smiled bitterly. Talk bs get to the bottom of it? What else was there to talk about? Everyone knew what Melanie had done and yet it was a fact that she won't have to face the consequences of her actions. She was still going to get away with it like she had done nothing at all. "Misunderstanding? What do we have to talk about here? I just don't get it..." I said, a ghostly smile on my face. Melanie l
TIANAI was about to say something but someone else beat me to it. It was Alex. He walked out of the bathroom. He had just taken his bath and his hair was still wet. He was completely dressed, but I could not help but feel affected by how good he looked right now. He had always been an extremely beautiful man, and if we didn't have such a complicated relationship between us, I knew that I would not have a hard time falling for a man like him. I was not the only one who was looking at him. Melanie did not hide the fact that she was madly in love with him. There was appreciation for his looks in her eyes but there was more than that. There was also this crazy possessiveness. I had a feeling that she wanted this man for herself, and she was more than willing to do anything at all just so that she would get to keep him. I was really looking forward to what she was planning on doing. I noticed that someone's gaze was on me. It was Mason. There was a weird look in his eyes when he looke
"What...what?! You want to speak to Clinton yourself? You do realize that he's a criminal now right? What the heck do you think you're doing?" Melanie asked me. She was worried and panicking ..it was clear from her face but I did not care. She had it coming anyway. I was not about to let her walk all over me once again. "You heard what I said clearly. I said that I want to see Clinton. I want to talk to him myself and ask him what happened and if he was the one who planned this!" I stated my demand again. Mason looked conflicted for a second, but then he nodded his head. "Alright fine. If you really do want to speak to him then I am going to let you do just that!" He agreed. "Brother! Have you lost your mind?! Do you even know what you are doing now?! So just because she said that she wants to see him, you are going to take her to do that?? You don't even know how annoying this is! It's fine if she doesn't believe us, that's her problem! We don't need to do anything for her!" M
TIANAWe finally arrived at the cell that Clinton was held in. He was sitting on the floor and his entire appearance was a mess. If was evident that he had been through a lot when he was here."I...I already told you all that I know. I no longer have anything to say! Can you please just leave me alone? I don't want to die. I really don't want to die. Please just let me off. I promise that I will never dare to do something like this again in the future!" He begged. "Are you suddenly scared now? I guess you should have thought about when you made foolish decisions! Do you think that Tiana is just any woman that you can touch?" Mason kicked Clinton but I just rolled my eyes. I was not here for all of this. I just wanted to carry-out my plan. I stepped out in front of Mason and looked at Clinton. He got on his kneels immediately and started to beg me. "Please Miss ...Please I am sorry. I am very sorry. If I had known who you were, I would not have dared to come near you at all. I wou
