Chapter 49: Pearl Earrings It was ten o'clock, and the party had kicked off downstairs. Melissa and Nicky were getting ready in the guest room, adding final touches to their outfits. Nicky looked stunning in a sleek black bikini that accentuated her figure. She let her luscious hair down and wrapped herself in a towel and bathrobe. "I'm ready to go," Nicky announced, slipping on a pair of stylish flip-flops. "Me too," Melissa replied. She had opted for a chic white dress, not wanting to reveal too much skin or join the pool activities. Her plan for the night was to socialize, enjoy some delicious food, and savor refreshing drinks. She believed that would be enough. The plain dress seemed fitting for her purpose. "Oh, come on, Melissa, at least put in some effort," Nicky playfully nudged. "What? You don't like the dress?" Melissa asked, raising an eyebrow. "Yes." Nicky replied, eliciting an eye roll from Melissa. "Can you at least add some accessories. How about a black belt? Oh,
Melissa walked out of the party, feeling overwhelmed and in need of some solitude. She decided to retreat to the gardens, away from prying eyes and potential embarrassment. She would return to the party later to search for Nicky's pearl earrings, but for now, she wanted to gather her thoughts. What was wrong with her? How could she forget she was still under the table, and why did she stare at Jeremy as if he were some irresistible dessert? It was all so foolish. As she tried to calm herself, she heard footsteps behind her. She turned around and was surprised to find Jeremy standing there. He was the last person she wanted to see at that moment, and she could feel her face reddening again. How silly. "Are you following me?" Melissa asked, her tone laced with rudeness. She didn't appreciate being followed, especially by someone who she was trying to hide from. "Calm down. We wouldn't want your face to change colors now, would we?" Jeremy replied, his voice tinged with teasing amuseme
Melissa woke up with a contented smile on her face, her heart still brimming with the memories of last night. She snuggled the pillow next to her, relishing in the warmth it provided. As she wondered about the time, she reached for her phone and discovered it was already noon. She had slept like a baby, despite staying up late with Jeremy in the garden. Feeling refreshed, Melissa got out of bed and made her way to the bathroom. It was then that she realized Nicky wasn't in the room. In fact, she hadn't been there the previous night either. Curious, Melissa pondered about Nicky's whereabouts when a soft knock on the door interrupted her thoughts. "Come in," Melissa called out. Ruth, the kind-hearted housekeeper, entered the room with a warm smile. "You're awake, and judging by the smile on your face, you must have slept well," Ruth remarked sweetly. "Yes, I did," Melissa replied with a smile of her own. "By any chance, have you seen Nicky? She didn't spend the night here." "Oh, ye
Melissa gracefully stepped out of the sleek black Rolls-Royce that Jeremy had thoughtfully sent to pick her up. It had been weeks since she had expressed her desire to paint him, drawn to his unique facial features, and today he had finally found the time to make it happen. Jeremy had invited her to his magnificent house, where she now found herself. As Melissa entered the villa, she was immediately captivated by its distinct charm. The space exuded elegance, with its tastefully chosen furnishings and a subtle undertone of mystery. The walls, adorned in shades of grey and black, were like abstract works of art in their own right. She was led into a cozy and inviting living room, complete with plush white sofas, and was asked to wait there while Jeremy concluded a video conference. Initially, Melissa sat patiently on the luxurious sofa, but her artistic spirit soon yearned for exploration. She couldn't resist the urge to acquaint herself with her surroundings. Taking a leisurely strol
Chapter 53: Drake Lockman and his wifeDrake Lockman sat in his penthouse in Switzerland he was laying low for a while. After his little stunt with the Woods family he was now under police investigation, Jeremy must have tipped them off. No suprises there. He wasn't happy about his current situation. His lawyers assured him everything would be fine, He just had to lay low. He hated the feeling of powerlessness. He paced around the room for a while. He could just send a message to one of his insiders to just walzs in and shoot Jeremy in the head but being the man that he is he didn't just want Jeremy dead he wanted him to suffer, just like he had suffered when Jeremy took his brother away from him, the only family he had left in the world. He groaned in pain as he grabbed his forehead, he wasn't in any physical pain but an emotional one, no could possibly understand what he had been through. The rage in his heart had intensified at that very moment, but then, his beautiful wife wal
Chapter 54: Who is Sexianna Black "Don't come any closer, you are a monster." Derby told her four year old daughter after she caught her decapitating her dolls. Honestly this wasn't the first time. She really thought something was seriously wrong with her daughter. Four year old Sexianna didn't care about her mother, she had never cared, decapitating her dolls were much more fun than listening to her awful mother she thought. Derby Black was Sexianna mother and ever since Sexianna was a child Derby knew something was off about her daughter. Sometimes she tried to tell her husband but he would just ignore her and say she's just a child "it's a phase she'll pass what ever you think is wrong with her." He would always say. But Derby didn't think so. Sexianna was the only child of her parents. Sexianna didn't quite have a normal childhood, I mean she admitted that she was different. For some reason she found delight when people suffered. One time when she was seven she tied down her
