Melissa

The day transformed into dusk as soon as possible. I wondered how long I had slept for.

“Knock knock,” Albert stood in front of my room. “Wakey wakey, you have a visitor.”

I stretched my stiff hands and legs for a while.

“Visitor? Who? Is it–”

He cut me short quickly. “No it's not dad. It's someone else.”

“Give me a few minutes, I'll be out now,” I discharged him.

I helped myself into the bathroom, rinsing my face and other parts of my body. Whoever was looking for was deep rooted at the back of my mind. Well, for me to know who it is, I'll have to just see for myself.

Janet was helping the kids dish out their food. I looked around only for me to see Francis sitting at the far end of the couch, waving and smiling at me.

I got closer to him. “What do you want here? Haven't I told you not to come here again?”

“Your kids weren't so nice, especially the one who came to call you out,” he pointed at Albert and I hit his hand down.

“Don't ever point your hands at my kids,”

    AlexanderLast night outside her house, I couldn't help but notice her disgust under the balcony light when she walked that man out of her house. That man knew more about our relationship than anyone. Immediately her eyes locked with mine, she ran to himself and I could only hide myself before she came back.Her flashlight flashed the area where I once stood, she was desperately trying to find out who was stalking her.I got out and peeped through the sitting room window. Watching her tell Albert to keep quiet had me force my laugh in. Her friend wasn't helping matters either, she kept making the whole situation more funny.They all said grace and started digging in before Albert spoke up again, drawing her attention to the wrapped box Felix gave her during the day. He was definitely someone that couldn't keep his mouth shut.Immediately the wrapper went off and she raised the first note up, the three of them ran from their seat, straight to her back, cooing.She was surprised and did

    AlexanderI strained my eyes at the light forcing it way in through the semi open curtains. I found my way to the window and closed it properly, I wasn't ready to get out of bed yet. I spent a greater deal of the night with Carl downstairs when I entered the house. Lady Selene and Bree had gone to bed, Sir Carlos was waiting for me before he could sleep. And we ended up talking about where I went and just jumping on random things.My phone chimed and I struggled to get to where it was. It was a message from Nancy.“Right on time,” I said aloud in my gruffy voice while opening her message.Damien is on standby sir, what do you need me to do?I placed a call to her immediately and she picked up at the second ring.“Good morning sir, Damien is here with me,” she said.“Great, hand the phone over to him.”The phone went silent for a while before Damien spoke.“Good morning sir, it's Damien.”“Damien, I know you keep a list of all the people I ask you to look into. So please do me a favor

    Melissa I sat behind the desk occupied with the student's assessments. I had dropped them for a while and now, seeing them on my table, tall and frightening, they were beginning to choke too much. Janet was on her annual leave, there was no way she was going to help with this. She hated going home with school work and preferred everything that needed to be done in their appropriate places. “Melissa,” one of the teachers called out. I forced my head away from the piled up work. “Yes?” “There's a lady at the waiting room asking for you.” “Lady? Me?” I asked again like there was 2 Melissa in the office “Yeah, she gave a perfect description of you in short.” “Thank you, I'll be out soon,” I said, trying to wrap up the current book I was assessing. I was a huge fan of floral flared skirts and boot heels, it gave me the kind of confidence I seeked. And also, plus it made me look so good. I walked into the waiting room to find the lady that was claimed to be adopted into the Thatcher

    AlexanderDeciding to take a stroll out, I had given Nancy the necessary task to do and also gotten the latest update of what has been going on ever since I left.The information given to me by Damien that morning weighed me down. I felt guilty and responsible for how that woman's life turned out.After all the money he garnered from people, the best thing for him was to abandon his wife at a disabled clinic for the past 2 years. Not for once, going to check on her.And the only person who had her best interest at heart was forcefully taken away by me.I battled within myself if I should tell Melissa about my new findings. With the current level of hate she has for me, I'm pretty sure that it would skyrocket and by then it might be too late for any sort of forgiveness to happen between us.As I drove my car into the college's car park, my phone pinged and I looked at the content of the message.Only one person could say those words to me. I sat a few more minutes, debating whether she

I hadn't taken the current state I was in fully.I switched on the flashlight of my phone and shone it around the room, it was an unfamiliar room. The time was a few minutes past 8pm.I sighed and sat upright, carefully resting my head on the headboard. A gentle moan emanated from beside me, I gently took my phone and shone it around.“What the heck?” I jumped away from the bed and felt the cold sensation from the tiles on my bare ass.I took a good look at myself and noticed that I was naked. I searched for my boxers lying around the room and wore them quickly, same as my trousers.I found the switch to the light, turning it on immediately. Bree was naked as well. Her plump fair breast poked at me and I threw the duvet over her.“Wake up,” I hurried to her, waking her up from whateve

    BreeTo be honest, I was scared. Scared of everything I was doing, wondering if it was worth it in the end. But then Francis was just at the hem of my neck, encouraging me that Alexander was going to be mine; just a little bit more. Even though it never felt like that, it wasn't close to feeling like that.The walk to my room was heavy, it felt like bags of cement had been attached to my body, making it difficult for me to walk properly.The same question went over and over in my head: is Alexander going to ever see me as more?I went straight to my bed, everything was becoming more and more complex. As my back hit the bed, what happened that morning flushed through my head again.FlashbackI watched his car zoom out of the compound and I couldn't help but want to burst into tears. But definitely not in front of the people that called themselves my parents. I ran to my room and cried my eyes out. They didn't even try to run after me, the only thing was their voices escorting me to my

It was all a bluff.Now with everything Bree told me, I was more than determined to help them dissolve the marriage. She was the legitimate child of the richest people in the country, even richer than her so-called billionaire husband.All I needed to do was keep showing my face to her, smile with her kids and make them believe I'll do anything for them.Bree was going to keep giving me all the information I needed to stay updated. And I had to keep it all under control, if Bree thought I meant what I said, then she must be in for a very long ride. She was a spoiled brat who saw just herself as the most valuable.“Melissa,” her name gently rolled out of mouth with the new information in my head. If I succeeded in getting her, all Thatcher's wealth and her body was going to be mine forever. And then I could finally get a sidechic

Each of them was worth 1.5 million dollars, nothing was too small to spend for my babies. It was their day tomorrow and I'm so glad Albert told me about it. Melissa still never said a word, I wouldn't blame her. The fault was all mine.From what I was able to gather, she wanted just a small birthday party for them. I ordered a 3 step cake for each one of them, to be delivered to her doorstep tomorrow morning. What could I do to make it alright with her? There was no way she was just going to let her guard down and move on with me. Bree was always going to be an obstacle and there's no way a pretty woman like her wouldn't have someone on her tail.A single knock shifted my attention away from my thoughts. With each calming step, I opened up.“Excited about tomorrow?” Lady Selene helped herself inside and sat on the bed.“Not quite,” my shoulders were saggy with each word co

    AlexanderI had the biggest round table made yesterday, with so many chairs. We wanted a large family meal with everyone we had come in contact with that year except the people who were behind bars. Mrs Dawson was closest to us, so I had her picked up myself. Janet, Maddy, Sally, Jayson, Andrew; were all invited from Carlton. I had my private jet go pick them up. It was a very beautiful sight.The chefs cooked exotic meals and everyone looked forward to eating together.Knowing the table wouldn't be able to get inside, we placed it under the tree in my yard. Everyone got to get a room to themselves and even though the house was rowdy and noisy, it still made a lot of sense.“The table is ready and being set, come on out everyone,” the kids ran around the house, bellowing this information.Everyone trooped out of their rooms, laughing and talking with one another. One by one, we sat at the table and the empty chairs were moved away by the staff.I stood up, raising a glass cup and a for

    AlexanderEverything was starting to happen the way I wanted it to be. A very big happy loving family, with no issues or any form of bad blood amongst us. Yet I still dreamed of doing one beautiful thing, getting married to Melissa properly. I had asked for her hand in marriage again from her parents and they had given me their full support. Deep down I know that Melissa would love to start afresh with me again but I just wanted her to know some disturbing things from my life.I admired the diamond ring I got for her the day before yesterday. I had solely made sure that was all I did yesterday—find a wedding ring that is befitting for my woman.My ears caught the whiff of footsteps and I quickly hid the ring case.She sank into the bed beside me, rubbing my face. “Hey Alexander Pierce, I've been looking for you all over the house. Are you sure you are fine?”“Of course,” I gave a small smile. I didn't have the courage to look her in the eyes and she noticed it. To her, it might feel l

The remote was yanked from Albert's hand as he was the one controlling everything.“Hey,” he turned around screaming, he toned down his voice immediately he saw who got the remote from him.“Excuse us,” Alexander sat with Melissa beside me. Lady Selene walked in with Sir Carlos and just like that the kids found their way inside.It was a suspicious gathering. I looked from left to right but all their attention was on the TV. “I think I'll go inside with my buddies too,” I said, standing up.“No sir down Bree, you are needed here. Not with them,” Alexander said. Reluctantly, I sat. “Well, will someone be kind enough to explain the sudden strictness on your faces and the gathering?”He tuned the TV set from one station to another and he finally settled for one. It was a news channel, James and Melissa's foster father were being sent to jail.Judge: “James Talon

    BreeIt's been 3 days since I last went to the police station. Alexander and Melissa were back home and everything and everywhere has been lively—back to how it used to be. I was still sulking about my visit, I was hating myself for it. The more I thought about it, the angrier I became with myself. I locked myself in my room, not letting anyone see me or talk to me. Aiden was smart enough to know that I didn't want to be seen so he always delivered my food through the space under the door. Everyone tried to talk to me but I wasn't letting them in.As usual that day, I sat in my bed, moping into space, still in my current situation before I heard the impossible.“Please break this door down, it's my house. I have a lot of them and I'll just have this repaired instead if everyone chose to stay here.I didn't believe what I heard. A few strikes at the locks and the door was forced open. I maintained my position and didn't move an inch.Melissa ran forward first, hugging me without mindi

    BreeWith a black hoodie over my head, hiding the plasters that were still on my face, I snuck out of the house to the main road. Boarding a taxi to the police station, I was just so grateful that Melissa and Alexander weren't back from their trip. The kids and Lady Selene are today, sleeping I guess. That can only explain why the house was extremely silent before I left.No matter how much I tried to take my mind off it, I just wanted to see him. The man that called himself my biological father, the man that killed my mother just because he envied a set of people with generational wealth.“Hi good morning,” I greeted the first officer I came in contact with. “I'm here to see James Talon.”“Please sign here while I bring him out for you,” he pushed the visitor's signing book to me. “What's your name?”“Bree.”“Bree what?”I didn't know which one was appropriate. Whether to say Bree Thatcher or Bree Talon, none of them was settling right with me at the moment.“Just say Bree,” I half s

    Melissa With the car seat lowered to the back, I desperately sought sleep. Alexander and I were home alone with the staff, we refused to sleep on time and played around like kids till the early hours of the morning. I wondered how he got up so early without a trace of sleep on his face, I guess work had made him get accustomed to it.I felt a hand on my face, pinching my nose and my ears. In a sleepy voice, I begged.“Oh God Alexander, let me have a little nap before we get to our destination, please,” I begged.“That isn't going to work on me,” he taunted. “Remember you wanted to play last night and I indulged you. You forget the fact that I'm a businessman and I'm used to staying awake.”I flung my hands out tiredly, signifying my surrender. “Oh the mighty Alexander, I give up. Let thy maiden enjoy her beauty sleep.”He chuckled, finally considered my request and let me be, diverting all his attention to the road. I heard him start rhyming with some words.“Wake up Melissa, we are

Immediately she came and found her seat, I picked up the phone.“Heard you left Carlton with your family, did you come to see me because you miss me? Didn't hubby come along with you?”“I can see that your intel is still as good as ever. Even while in prison you have information about the outside world,” I said. “Your genital meet and greet business really proved useful.”She wasn't expecting me to get back to her that way, her face was riddled with shame and pain.“Ouch, I think I took it too far. My apologies, I didn't come here for that.”She sighed. “No need to beat around the bush, tell me why are you here?”“To let you know that I hold no grudges against you. You did what you had to because you were in love with my husband. Apologies, scratch that. You were obsessed with my husband Alexander Pierce. You let yourself be controlled by a man who didn't even mean wel

But I guess it was a fair thing to ask for.“Yes Melissa, I want to see him,” she smiled. “I missed him so much. Even though we would see some place where I can't touch him or hold him, I still want to see his beautiful face. He's everything to me.”I didn't understand what was going on in her head, even if I tried.“Mother, he sent you to a nursing home by himself, do you remember that at all?” I said, trying to make my point. “He left you alone.”Without any argument, still with a calm face and voice, she said. “I know that, I know exactly what he did to me. But he's the love of my life, he’s everything I have and everything I've always had. So if I throw it all away because I'm mad at him for throwing me in a nursing home, then I'll be miserable for the rest of my life. Besides I met beautiful people there, beautiful people who made the days I spent there. It's not like

    MelissaAs we got closer to the hospital, I brought out my phone and saw that I had missed several calls from Lady Selene. “Alex, let me see your phone,” with his eyes still on the road, he brought it out and handed it over to me.“What's the problem? Is everything good?”“We've missed Lady Selene's call, multiple times,” I said. “I hope she doesn't break our head as soon as we get there.”“Maybe she missed us.”I rolled my eyes at him. “You flatter yourself too much Mr.”The first person to welcome us as soon as we walked the corridors of the hospital was Lady Selene. Her face radiated so much joy and happiness.“Where have you guys been? I've been calling your phones all day. Bree is awake and she's fine,” she jumped into Alexander's arms. “And the kids?”“You know as usual, bombarding her with so many things that had happened while she wasn't awake,” she said, so casually.I hurried into her ward with Mara in front of me. “She should be resting, no one is allowed to disturb her,
