MELISSA’S POVMy heart raced heavily against its cage as I exited the forecourt of Saint Glory. I turned left to join the main road, my car almost hitting someone else's. It was the honk of incoming cars that saved me from the commotion I was about to create. I couldn't think straight. My mind was only filled with the urge to run from him. “I have to get out of here” I whispered and sped off. But as I drove through the vibrant city, a series of unanswered questions lingered in my mind. I couldn't help but whisper them aloud. Why did Listowel pull me tight to his chest like he'd found a lost treasure? Why did he follow me to the parking lot? What did he want to tell me? Does he still think of me as the naive woman he met seven years ago? Maybe I should have stayed. I shouldn't have run away. I should have let him know that I’m no longer the 23-year-old girl he toyed with. I bit my lower lip in regret as memories of the past rushed in. *Flashback*I vividly remember the day my

MELISSA’S POVThe sharp irritating sound from my alarm jolted me awake the next morning. I swept my hands across the bedstand to turn off the alarm as the consistent sound it made threatened to tear my earlobe. In times like these, I always wished I could throw it out the window and destroy it. But I simply can’t. If not for anything at all, I partly owe this alarm clock for the woman I am today. During my dark days, when I felt like the world had turned its back on me, it was the only companion I had. Its irritating sound always jerked me into action. It would always ring till the sleep in my eyes vanished.I was also able to write the law school entrance exam, all because of this my red apple-shaped alarm clock which woke me up five minutes before the starting time. A wide smile formed on my face as I took a glance at the time on the alarm clock. It was exactly 7 AM. I had set it last night after my bath. I didn't want to be late for my new job at M&M Legal Firms. “Today is an

The world seemed to be moving in circles as the words hit me. My breath hung in my throat, taken by surprise by what I just heard. Gordon Inc? For a moment, I doubted if I had heard right. “No, I must be hearing things”. No this can’t be happening. Why Gordon Inc. of all places?The words seemed to be stuck in my throat as I gazed intently at the HR Rep, her smile still boldly across her face. I wanted to scream, to rant, to vent out the anger surging through me. I wanted to let her know that, what she just announced is no good news. That her message carries no joy for her to be smiling broadly like that. But the words refused to come out. She called out my name again when she realized the shock on my face. “Miss Muggins? Melissa?” “Yes ma’am” I responded, my voice barely above a whisper. “Is anything the matter? You don't look fine?”I gripped the sides of my pants tightly, before forcing the words out of my gut. “Can I request a change please?” I pleaded firmly, not minding

MELISSA’S POVMy chest raced in anger as I sat in the HR office. I'm not the type to easily offend others but that lady drove me to my limits. I feel she knew exactly what she was trying to achieve by pulling that stunt.My mind trailed back to her words, intensifying the anger brewing inside me. Not in a thousand years did I imagine Listowel to have done something like this. He has always been the cold reserved type. He doesn't intrude in places where he's not needed. So why? Why would he use his influence to get me assigned to his company? What is he trying to achieve? My thoughts got distracted when the rep called out my name.“Miss Muggins…. What do you mean by what you said earlier? That you wanted a change?”“I'm just not fit for the job” I responded firmly, irritation evident in my voice. I didn't care about formality anymore. I mean, if such a big company like M&M Legal Firms and a law firm as such, forgot their morals by assigning a recruit based on favoritism and not meri

MELISSA’S POVMorning came faster than I expected. I stood in front of Gordon Inc, lost in my thoughts as I stared at the towering glass building. I inhaled and slowly exhaled, embracing myself for the unknown. I know very well that as soon as I enter this building, there’s no going back. I had paced up and down my room this morning, thinking of the challenging task ahead. I had finally come to the conclusion that I was only here to work. There’s no way I will let my history with Listowel distract me.“I'm stronger than this,” I whispered under my breath as I made my way toward the entrance, clenching tightly my fist. Straightening up my shoulders, I confidently strode through the revolving doors, my grip on my bag tighter. The expensive smell of perfumes welcomed me as I stepped inside, the breathtaking interior too sleek to not notice. This wasn't the first time I stepped foot in Gordon Inc. I vividly remember when I happily made lunch and bring to Listowel, seven years ago. Si

My heart pounded heavily in my chest as my eyes trailed from the sleek black garavanti shoes upward, seriously hoping that I heard wrong. That the familiar voice I just heard was not the person I've anxiously been running away from. Hot sweat trickled down the back of my ears as my eyes met that of the person in front of the door. I stumbled back, my back hitting against the horizontal pole that separates the mirror from the insides. “Miss Mugins…” Jessica exclaimed as she rushed to hold me still, her voice laced with concern. “Are you okay?” she inquired I swallowed a chunk down my throat as I nodded in affirmation, slightly closing my eyes. . “I'm… I’m fine” I stuttered while holding my gaze on him. “Mr. Gordon…” Jessica called out, pulling her hands away from me to bow as he saw Listowel. “Sir, I thought you were in a meeting and I didn't want to distract you”. There was a loud silence. She quickly caught on and continued. “Sorry for the informal introduction but this is Miss

MELISSA’S POV“What is that supposed to mean?” I asked, rolling my eyes as I turned back to shoot him a deadly glare. All this while, I have been trying to keep my cool. Despite the anger brewing inside me, I’ve been doing everything I could to refrain myself from lashing out at him.But he didn't seem to notice, he didn't seem to realize how annoying and irritating his actions towards me were. I mean, why the sudden possessiveness? Why does he think he has the right to keep me by his side? Wasn't he the same person who disposed of me like a worthless tissue, just so he could reunite with his lover? I stared at him sharply with disgust, as if he wasn't the very person I once would have sacrificed everything to see. The corner of his lips jerked mockingly, showing off how amused he was by my little retaliation. In a tone that sounded more of a threat than a mere inquiry, he asked,“You work under me now, don’t you?” “You might be the CEO or whatever but I don't work under you” I s

LISTOWEL’S POVWaiting for her to start working at Gordon Inc. felt like an eternity. The director of M&M had called to tell me about her objection to working at my company. I could only convince them to stand by their decision till she gave in. I know this is selfish of me but that's the only way I would get close to her again. Judging from how hard she pushed me away the other day, during the legal hour conference, I could tell she wanted nothing to do with me. But no, I wasn’t going to allow that. I almost jumped around like a child in excitement when I was informed she had finally to work at my company. Earlier this morning, I had come to work early. I wanted to make sure everything was in place and that everyone was doing their jobs. I went round to inspect my staff. I want her to be working in an environment conducive enough for her to seldom think of quitting or resigning. As I strolled to the hundreds of employees on each of the 52 floors, I couldn't help but smile at how

MELISSA’S POV I was thrown back to reality as Listowel left. The rooms became eerily silent, just like it has always been. Maybe I needed a partner after all. Even though allowing Listowel to come here was a bad idea, his presence made this house feel like home. While he was busily attending to my knees, one of the many thoughts that was swirling in my mind was my imagination of how perfect it would have been if we were an actual couple. I imagined how fun life would have been if Listowel knew about Crystal and we were actually living together. I couldn’t help but envisage how lovely our family would have been if only I were not a contract wife to Listowel but his real wife and there wasn’t any such person like Wendy in the picture. “How would have life been?” I thought aloud as I stood up on my feet. Heaving a sigh, I glanced at the center table, grabbed the remote, turned off the lights in the living room, and headed to my washroom. I needed to take a quick shower befor

MELISSA’S POV Moments later, “There…. It's all done.” Listowel said, raising his gaze to meet mine. He had finished wrapping the bandage neatly around my knee. He cut off the excess bandage and asked me to stretch my legs. “Yeah… stretch it a bit forward. Do you feel any unease there?” he asked, probably making sure that he hadn't wrapped the bandage tight. “No. It is fine..” I responded, stretching my legs as he instructed. “We are all done then. Let me throw out the water and arrange the place before I go.” Listowel said while standing up on his feet. He strolled to the kitchen and attempted to pour the water into the sink. “No...no…” I said gesturing for him to send it to the sink in the guest bathroom rather. Some people may not see it as a big deal but I don’t find it hygienic to pour water filled with all those blood cells and other bacteria into my kitchen sink. Without any debate, Listowel did as I said as he turned and headed to the guest bathroom. I don

MELISSA’S POV “Thank you for your help. I think I can carry on from here,” I said as soon as Listowel set me down in front of my house. I can't believe he actually held me in his arms from the crime scene up to my house. Even in the elevator when I requested for him to put me down, he insisted otherwise. “I’m not leaving you here until I make sure you're good,” he said, his eyes trailing to my knee which he had tied with a singlet earlier on. “Do you need your singlet? I will dry-clean it and return it to you if you want. Better still, I could get you a new one….” I said and feigned ignorance, acting as if I didn't understand what he meant. “I’m. Not. Talking. About no damn underwear. I just want to go in there with you. Treat your wound. Put you to rest. And go back to my house. Simple.” A scoff escaped my lips as I asked, “Why would you want to go inside my —” My words caught in my throat when Listowel snatched my card and used it to unlock the door. He opened th

MELISSA’S POV My eyes flickered when met with at of the figures before me. It was Listowel. He quickly rushed to my side. Pulling me into a tight embrace, “Are you okay?..” he asked, his breath rugged from the sprint he might have taken to get here. I let out a sigh of relief as his warm body touched mine. His body frame was big, especially his chest, so I felt like a child in his arms. Sniffling, “yeah… I’m okay” I nodded before answering. Running his hands gently through my hair, “I’m so sorry, I couldn’t find you on time. So sorry,” he whispered over my shoulders. He gently pulled me from his hold, caressed my checks, and asked in a low tone, “Did he do anything to you?” With tears streaming down my face like a free fall, I shook my head in disagreement. “Thank God. I was so scared,” he admitted before pulling me into a hug again. A sharp pain pierced through the cut on my knees, causing me to wince, “Ouch…” “What's wrong??” Listowel asked, his voice laced

MELISSA’S POV Clutching my bag tightly, my eyes darted sideways as I tried to confirm if someone was indeed following me. My breath hitched in my throat when I caught a glimpse of the figure behind me. From his black-on-black outfit, I could tell he was a man. Who was he? Why was he following me? What does he want from me? Quickening my steps, I dipped my hands into my bag to search for my peppered spray. Suddenly, “Hey….” the man’s creepy voice resounded from behind. My heart pounded even more heavily when I couldn't find the pepper spray. Without looking back, I took to my heels. I could feel my pulse beating in my palms as I ran. Realizing that he was catching up to me, “Help….” I shouted, hoping that someone would hear and come save me. My cry for help was only responded to by the quiet streets. I guess this is the disadvantage of living in a residential area. People don't sit outside nor linger around for fresh air. Panting, I took out my phone, hoping

MELISSA’S POV The cool evening breeze welcomed me as I stepped out of my office. Adjusting my bag strap, I darted around to check if there were any colleagues in sight. I wanted to let them know I was leaving first today. Yes, it wasn't 5pm yet today. It was fifteen minutes past four and I was already leaving the office. Why? Because I’ve been feeling a bit restless today. I’m certain that I’m not unwell but I can’t really tell where this sudden feeling was coming from. I was only able to endure till this time because I only forced myself to. Luckily, a staff from the executive office passed by just in time. “Hey Aria…,” I called while waving to get her attention. Halting in her tracks, “Hi Miss Muggins..,” she responded with a smile. “I’m a bit under the weather today so I will be leaving—” “Ouu… so sorry. I hope you get better soon,” she said, cutting me off with her concerned words. “Thank you, dear. In case HR comes around, kindly let him know.” “S

LISTOWEL’S POV My mouth flung open widely as I stared at what I had just done. “No, no, no, no! There must be a way to delete this…” I mumbled as I tried to figure out how to delete the photo. My fingers hovered over the phone screen, searching every nook and cranny for the delete button. “I have to get rid of this before she sees it.., I muttered after finally seeing the delete button. My stomach twisted when I realized there wasn't any ‘delete for everyone’ option. “I cooked…,” I yelled and clicked my eyes shut hoping that by the time I opened them, everything would just be an imagination. But no. The goofy photo of myself was staring back at me after I opened my eyes. “This is so embarrassing….,” I said while running my hands through my hair. The double checkmark appeared beside the photo and there was no doubt that Melissa had already viewed it. Tossing the phone aside, I turned off the bed lamp and laid back on the bed, my thoughts a mess as I contemplat

LISTOWEL’S POV It wasn't part of my plans to get Melissa flowers today. While on my way to work this morning, some pretty lilies caught my attention. They were so pretty yet delicate that they immediately reminded me of Melissa. I signalled for Kevin to park after which I got out and headed to the florist. A bright smile formed on my face while my eyes flickered with delight. “Lisa is going to love them,” I mumbled to myself while darting at them in admiration. The lilies looked so cute and lovely. Since I was running late to work, I decided to personally deliver them to her after work. I was so certain this was the plan I was going to go with until I remembered something. “Melissa has resigned from the M&M legal firm and is no longer working so she will definitely be at home today.” I thought to myself and signaled for Kevin to move. “Take me to Crimson Estate,” I said before bringing the flowers to my nose to inhale the sweet fragrance exuding from it. I could se

WENDY’S POV Let go of me!” I screamed but my voice could barely be heard as the person’s hands had covered my whole mouth. “Ughhhh… fuck...” he let out a scream as my nails dug into his skin while I bit his hands hard with my teeth. His grip on me loosened instantly as he winced in pain. “Fuck you” he cursed, shocking me. It wasn’t the fact that he had cursed at me that shocked me but the fact he was the last person I expected to do this. “How dare you…” I sneered, my hands shooting up to his cheeks as I gave him a dirty slap. Glaring at him from head to toe, “Have you lost your mind? How dare you touch me with those filthy hands of yours?!” My blood boiled with rage as I stared at Kevin. LISTOWEL’S butler. What was he thinking when he touched me with those filthy hands of it? Wait, who gave him the audacity to even come near me? Not to even talk of dragging me like that? Hitting his chest without a stop, “ Answer me! Who do you think you are to stop me? Do you even kno
