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

He didn't even know he looked that good. She was an amazing artist. But Offcourse he wasn't going to tell her that, Not right away atleast."Well?" Melissa asked when he said nothing."It's alright." Jeremy said casually."Alright?""Yes. Quite good."Ouite good wasn't a bad thing to say for a man of he's taste but Melissa had expected a better reaction."Okay, atleast you like it then." Melissa said a little disappointed. Jeremy noticed the change in her mood he sighed and said" I really do like it, your an amazing artist." Jeremy said with more enthusiasm this time. "Thank you." Melissa replied happily, she was glad that he liked it."Melissa." Jeremy called. "Yeah?""I would like you to be my date to an event I'm planning on attending tomorrow." "Your date for a party?" Melissa asked in total awe
The night of the event."Melissa!! Look at how gorgeous you look! So amazing." Nicky praised making Melissa smile. But Nicky wasn't wrong Melissa looked stunning, she was already a beautiful woman but with a dress like that and some grooming she looked even more beautiful. "I didn't even put much make up on you. I just fixed your hair and dressed you up yet you still look so beautiful. Jeremy was right your perfect. Absolutely perfect." "Alright!.. I've heard enough praises for one night." "I'm only saying the truth." "Thanks Nicky. I have go now, I'll see you later okay." "Wait!." Nicky stopped Melissa. "Please promise me you'll try and have fun tonight."Melissa rolled her eyes she couldn't believe Nicky stopped her for that. "I will. I promise." Melissa's replied.And with that it was time for her to go.At a certain seven star hotel, a large magnificent ballroom had been meticulously set up for what seemed to be a very important and very high class event. The chandeliers
"Are you alright?" Jeremy asked when he noticed how red Melissa's face was getting. "Yes I'm fine." Melissa replied. They were both still in each on others arms dancing and Melissa could no longer stand there closeness. But luckily for her the music stopped indicating the dance was over. "Would you like some more drinks?" Jeremy asked as they walked over to a private area reserved only for him. "Yes, please." A cold drink would do a lot for her at this moment. They sat down together and Melissa was served a drink. "Tell me something silly about yourself." Jeremy told Melissa. As she sipped her drink. Melissa who though the question was absolutely weird wondered why he would ask that. Seeing the confused look on her face Jeremy explained futher. "I really want to know more about you." "And why on earth would you wanna know something silly?" "So I can use it to taunt you some other time." Jeremy joked. "Really?" Melissa said intrigued. "Fine I'll tell you something sill
Mellisa and Jeremy sat together in his garden in the arms of each other. They looked so good together. It had been a while since they've been together.Mellisa had been terribly happy since she and Jeremy had be together. Everything had been moving so smoothly. It felt to good to be true. The idea of being loved once again felt so sureSurreal. She was happy yet she feared deep down that it might not end well just like her last relationship. She loved Jeremy so much and hoped it won't turn out that way."I have a suprise for you." Jeremy said as he caressed Mellisa cheeks. "Again. Jeremy you have to stop this." Melissa said with a slight frown. She hated the fact that Jeremy always bought her gifts and took her to suprise dates. Don't get her wrong she adored the gestures and loved how he made her feel special but. She guessed he thought a true relationship was built up with gifts and suprises, which it absolutely not true. She just wished he would understand. "I don't see anything
"I love you sister very much. Whether you believe it or not is up to you." Drake Lockman told Jake Sexianna brother. "You expect me to believe that you love my sister? I know you were just using her to get inside information about Mr Nobody." Jake said not believing a word Drake was saying. The man didn't look like a person worth trusting. Jake wondered how Sexianna fell for his tricks."She volunteered to all that. I didn't force her.""She said you told her that Jeremy killed your brother." "He did.""And why should I believe that?" "Believe it or not. It is the truth. And you don't have to worry, I'm not asking for your help. I'm only asking you to stay out of my way. If not for your sister I would have probably killed you for just working for that bastard. Just don't interfere in my business and you'll be fine."Jake scoffed. " I could just walk up to him and tell him everything." "Yes. You could. But your sister has already done that." Drake Lockman said with an evil smirk
Chapter 67: SchemesJack was silent. He didn't know what to say or how to respond. His sister was really asking him to pick sides. He was still so confused on how it got to this."Can you even hear yourself?" Jake asked as he walked away from Sexianna. "Your asking me to stab Mr Nobody in the back. Do you have any idea what he could do to us! What he could do to you if he finds out that you've been a traitor all this time." Jake said as he ran his hands through his hair in frustration."He can't do anymore to us not while Drake is around. I promise you'll always have his protection. You just have...""No I can't." Jake cut Sexianna off. "What your asking me to do is just to much. You have no Idea who your messing with. Sexianna I can't believe you put yourself in the middle of all this." "I was always in the middle I didn't put myself there. Just meet him maybe then you'll understand." Sexianna cried."Why did you do all this Anna. You didn't even tell all this time." Jake said sa

He had dreams about his childhood again and he woke up this morning feeling nothing but irritation.He felt miserable about himself. He remembered when he was young and how hard it was growing up after his mother died. Her death was all his fault. If he remembered clearly which he did.When he was young he was constantly comparing himself to others and always felt like he was coming up short. He felt like he was never good enough and that nothing he did was ever enough. He felt like he was constantly fighting an uphill battle and no matter how hard he tried, he was never able to make it to the top. He was constantly questioning his worth and felt like he was a failure in life. He was always second guessing himself and felt like he had no control over his own destiny. He was constantly struggling with his own
Chapter 61: Jeremy's childhood Jeremy lived quite an extraordinary childhood. His story all started from an adoption centre were he was adopted by the kind sweet and amazing woman. Elena Crane.

She had an abusive husband who would always hurt her any time he was drunk. Jeremy would always witness this even though Elena would tell him to go upstairs any time Jack was around. Elena's biggest fear was Jack hurting innocent Jeremy. She would rather die than let Jack ever hurt him. When Jeremy became a toddler he was quite aware of the fact that his Jack hurts his mother but Elena would always smile and pretend like everything was alright. She would smile at him and rub his head assuring him that she was fine. She would always wear long sleeve clothes to cover her bruises so no one would see them. When Jeremy turned 10 he could really understand
Chapter 60: Elena Crane "I can't believe you told him all that on your first date." Nicky said annoyed. "It wasn't a date." Melissa's replied as she tried to remove her heels from her feet. "Did you have fun atleast? " "Yes for a while." Melissa replied. "Why can't you let yourself have proper fun. Your always doing this." Nicky said annoyed and stormed out of the room. Why the heck was she upset? Melissa wondered. **** Meanwhile Jeremy sat in his house thinking about all the things Melissa had said to him. He felt so bad for her. He knew he had offended her dearly and now he knew the reason she was so offended she had gone through so much pain. Being someone who had gone through pain himself he could completely understand how she felt. She was really brave to go through all that and still be able to smile and be happy and live a normal life. Not everyone could do that. Take him for example. She was the second woman he knew who had gone through so much and still could put
