Meanwhile, Alpha Avalor lay unconscious, his body weak and vulnerable. Sam, his trusted friend and ally, knew that it was crucial to protect Melissa until Avalor woke up. He couldn't risk Lucas or any other threat harming her in the meantime. That's why he had sent Aunty B, a powerful and mysterious being from a different realm, to keep Melissa safe.
As Aunty B continued her conversation with Melissa, she had to be careful not to reveal her true identity. She knew that Melissa's safety depended on her secrecy. Aunty B chose her words carefully, weaving together a tale that would both intrigue and comfort Melissa.
"Melissa, my dear, I come from a realm where beings like me have special abilities," Aunty B explained, carefully avoiding the mention of werewolves or any specific details. "I have been sent here to protect you, to ensure your safety during this vulnerable time. You see, there are forces at play that seek to harm you, and it is my duty to shield you from them."
Melissa's eyes widened with both surprise and concern. She had never imagined that she would be caught up in such a dangerous situation. "Forces that want to harm me? But why? What have "But why? What have I done to attract such danger?" Melissa asked, her voice filled with worry.
Aunty B placed a comforting hand on Melissa's shoulder, her gaze filled with compassion. "Oh, my dear, it's not about what you've done. Sometimes, certain individuals possess qualities or connections that make them targets for those who crave power or control. You have something special within you, something that makes you a beacon in their eyes."
Melissa's eyes widened, her mind racing with thoughts of what that could mean. "What could I possibly have that would make me a target?"
Aunty B smiled gently, her voice soothing as she continued, "Sometimes, it's not a tangible thing but rather an energy, a light that shines within. You have a strength and resilience that they fear, and they will stop at nothing to try and extinguish it. But fear not, my dear. I am here to protect you, to shield you from their grasp."
Melissa felt a mixture of gratitude and confusion. She didn't fully understand the extent of the danger she was in, but she trusted Aunty B's words. There was something about the mysterious woman that made her feel safe and secure.
As the days went by, Melissa found herself growing restless. She had always been a driven and ambitious woman, and the thought of staying idle while Richard was away didn't sit well with her.
One evening, as Aunty B prepared a warm cup of tea for them both, Melissa spoke up. "Aunty B, I've been thinking. Richard is away for a few weeks, and as much as I appreciate your help and protection, I feel like I need to do something productive with my time. I don't want to just sit around and wait for him to return. I want to take charge, at least temporarily."
Aunty B regarded Melissa with a thoughtful expression, her eyes filled with understanding. "My dear, it is commendable that you want to take charge, but you must also consider the dangers surrounding you. The people who pose a threat won't hesitate to use any opportunity to strike. Are you sure you're ready for that?"
Melissa nodded, determination shining in her eyes. "I understand the risks, Aunty B, but I can't let fear control my life. Richard has built a successful company, and I believe I can handle the responsibility of overseeing it until he returns. Besides, it's time for me to take up Richard's position as the CEO before the board members ruin things in the company.” She said to her.
Aunty B listened to Melissa's determination, her eyes filled with a mix of pride and concern. She knew that Melissa had a strong will and a drive to succeed, but she also understood the dangers that lay ahead. Reluctantly, she nodded, realizing that she couldn't hold Melissa back any longer.
"Very well, Melissa," Aunty B said, her voice filled with a mixture of caution and support. "If this is what you truly desire, I won't stop you. But promise me that you'll be cautious and alert at all times. The threats are real, and you must be prepared."
Melissa nodded, her resolve unwavering. "I promise, Aunty B. I will be careful and take every precaution necessary. I won't let fear consume me, but I will stay vigilant."
With Aunty B's reluctant approval, Melissa made her way to the company headquarters, her heart pounding with a mix of excitement and apprehension. As she entered the building, she couldn't help but notice her face still prominently displayed on the company's products. It sent a chill down her spine, reminding her of the dangers she faced.
Taking a deep breath, Melissa approached her office and was greeted by a mixture of surprise and anticipation from her colleagues. They had heard about Richard's departure and were curious to see how Melissa would handle the responsibility of being the temporary CEO.
As Melissa settled into her office, she couldn't shake off the feeling of unease caused by seeing her face on the company's products. It was a constant reminder of the threats she faced and the need to be cautious. She knew she had to find a way to protect herself and the company without drawing too much attention to herself.
With determination in her eyes, Melissa called for a meeting with the senior executives of the company. As they gathered in the boardroom, Melissa addressed them with a calm yet assertive tone.
"Thank you all for being here. As you know, Richard is away on a business trip, and I have been entrusted with the responsibility of overseeing the company in his absence," Melissa began. She could feel all eyes on her as she gave her speech but she wasn’t going to go easy on any slack off.
All the board members and co workers that joined in the meeting were stunned at what she had just said , yes they all heard when Richard said Melissa had to take care of everything but they never believed it would be this way…making her the CEO was like giving her overall authority over everyone.One of the board members stood up with a weird smile, “how are we sure we can trust you with a company worth millions?” He questioned Melissa but all Melissa did was smile before also standing up.“Because in just these few months I have contributed more than you can ever contribute and I am not trying to brag but that’s the truth.” Melissa said with so much boldness, just then another board Member stood up.“We can only believe and trust in your legacy if you successfully secure a very important client and even more respect if he decides to sign a contract with this company sooner.” She said to Melissa as Melissa could understand that they were all trying to trap her.“I can do that with my
Melissa woke up to see all the workers surrounding her with a shocked face and the lady who had helped her earlier stepped forward.“You and the CEO didn't tell us you were expecting triplets..that is very awesome news.” the lady said to Melissa who was still confused as to why she was in the hospital to begin with.“Why am I here?” she questioned with a very serious voice.The doctor explained to Melissa that she had experienced a severe case of placenta previa, a condition where the placenta covers the cervix, causing heavy bleeding. It was a dangerous situation for both Melissa and her unborn triplets.Melissa's heart sank as she realized the gravity of the situation. She couldn't leave the hospital, not when her own life and the lives of her babies were at risk. Reluctantly, she agreed to stay and undergo the necessary blood transfusion.As the days passed, Melissa's condition stabilized, and she began to feel a sense of relief. The doctors assured her that with proper care and mo

Sarah understood what was going on as she was very aware that Richard was off on a business trip and Melissa was left all alone.“I would help in whatever way I can, I told you before that i was here to support and care for you till Richard return because you need that kid of help.” Sarah said as she covered up for Melissa who stood up slowly and walked towards the barista who was now walking ahead of them with a key in his hands.“You should be quick when leaving my boss always follows that area and I won’t want him to find you there or I might lose my job.” The barista whispered to Melissa and she nodded totally understanding everything as the barista opened the door for her and she sneaked out. Melissa starts searching for her car key as she ran quickly towards where she packed her car and opened it as she got closer with Sarah behind her.Once sarah was sure Melissa had gotten into the car she turned around and left immediately to enter her own car and escort Melissa home from a d
The once-familiar street transformed into a labyrinth of dark corridors and endless hallways. The air grew colder, sending shivers down her spine.Melissa's voice trembled as she mustered the strength to speak. "Why are you doing this? What do you want from me?"Lucas's lips curled into a sinister smile. "Oh, Melissa," he sneered. "You should have known better than to cross me. I want what's rightfully mine, and I'll stop at nothing to get it."As Lucas advanced, Melissa's fear turned into determination. She refused to let him win, to let him control her life any longer. With every ounce of strength she could gather, she pushed back against the suffocating darkness.Suddenly, a blinding light erupted from within her, illuminating the nightmarish landscape. The once-formidable Lucas seemed to shrink in the face of her newfound power. He recoiled, his eyes wide with disbelief.Melissa's voice rang out, filled with a newfound confidence. "You may have haunted my dreams, Lucas, but I won'
As Melissa and Sarah walked back to their cars, Melissa couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation and excitement. She had missed Richard dearly during his trip, and the thought of seeing him again filled her with joy.As they entered the company building, Melissa's heart skipped a beat when she saw Richard standing by his desk, chatting with their colleagues. A wide smile spread across her face as she rushed towards him, unable to contain her happiness."Richard!" Melissa exclaimed, her voice filled with genuine delight. "You're back! I missed you so much!"Richard turned towards Melissa, his eyes lighting up with affection. He opened his arms, welcoming her into a warm embrace. "Melissa, I missed you too," he whispered, his voice filled with tenderness.The office fell silent as everyone watched the heartfelt reunion between Melissa and Richard. But instead of feeling embarrassed or self-conscious, Melissa felt a surge of confidence and happiness. She had overcome her fears and

Melissa and Richard couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and anticipation for the future, while Sarah struggled to suppress her true feelings.Sarah put on a brave face, congratulating Melissa and Richard on their relationship and their upcoming family. She acted as though she was genuinely happy for them, but deep down, anger and resentment were bubbling within her.When the workday was finally over, Sarah returned home, her emotions overwhelming her. She couldn't fathom the idea of leaving Richard for Melissa, especially after all the plans she had made from the very beginning to win him back.In her frustration and anger, Sarah began to smash things around her, the sound of shattered glass and broken objects echoing through the room. It was a release of the pent-up emotions that had been building within her for so long.
