MELISSA'S POV."I'm right here." I spoke out, softly.I was glad that Stefan had found out a way out for me, as always. Stefan hugged me deeply, and a tear ran down my right eye. It was so good to be back.~We still continued our vacation. Yeah, I had to enjoy the time I missed, and after the vacation, we headed back to our home."So, tell me all about the vacation." Layla asked, excitedly."Well, it was a really romantic one. And we had our time to ourselves. By that, I mean he rented the whole beach." I giggled.Layla's eyes widened in excitement."Wow. So, Mr. Stefan is this romantic?" "More than you think." I laughed."I am so happy for you, Melissa. Finally, you found someone who can be there for you, and make you happy, more than you would never expect. I'm glad you opened your heart to him." Layla said, with a smile.She seemed to be touched, and really glad for me as her eyes were sparkling with love and happiness for me. That's why she is the best, anyways."Thank you so m
MELISSA’S POV.“Wow, I can’t believe that you would still accept to know your truth.” Robin said, with a smile.“Well, I guess things change. Change is inevitable.” I said.“Alright, have your seat while I prepare a few things.” “Alright then.”As I was about to sit, my hand grazed his cloth, and something stung me, which caused a tiny blood to come out.“Ouch!”“Oh, goodness. I apologize. I think there is something spiky around this outfit, but I haven’t found it out until now.” He said.“That’s the reason you should get your outfits from Stefan Design Stores.”“Hmmm… I’ll think about it.” Robin smiled.I waited for him to get ready, and was thinking about how it was going to be, hearing the truth, and all. It all seemed like it could be a truth which could make me really unhappy, since Stefan was hiding it from me.“Alright, let’s leave.”I never knew he had a car until now when he drove it out of his garage, and while I was in his car, I texted Stefan, and after that, I was ready
MELISSA’S POV.I gulped my saliva, and hoped for the best.“Chill out, Melissa.” Robin said.“You really are calm, aren’t you?” “It’s always great when you tell yourself that you are brave, and meditate on it.” Robin said.“So, I have to keep meditating, within minutes.”“Wow. You know what I discovered? Since we started this journey, you have been a bit informal with me. I mean, you are now a bit free around me. Did you break up with your boyfriend?”I sighed. Robin was crossing the line, which was getting on my nerves.“Do you prefer the formality?” I asked, glaring at him.“I’m sorry if I crossed the line.” He apologized.Then we got to a building which we went in, and then we kept walking down to the basement, and even after the basement, we went down again. It was truly an underground, but a scary one.“You have to hurry to get into the freedom tube, before the ghouls start working their tricks around you.”“I thought you said we were safe around you.” I asked.“Yes, you are. B
STEFAN’S POV.~flashback~I got a text from Melissa the next day when I wanted to apologize to her at work. I guess she must have forgiven me to have sent me a text. But the text she sent me, made me gape in surprise.“I have gone to find my truth, with Robin. The man you saw me with, the other night, which caused a misunderstanding between us.”I became worried. What truth was she trying to find, and would the man really show her, nothing but the truth, without adding what didn’t happen? Melissa was punishing me, seeing as she didn’t send me a text, with enough information. But maybe it was time for her to know the real truth. I just needed her to be safe, and I was going to confirm.I dialed her number, but it was switched off.“Shit!” I slammed my hand on my face.~back to reality~This was more like the second time she was out of my sight, and I knew that whatever journey she was going on, it was going to take a few days. Would she even inform me when she was back? She really see
MELISSA'S POV."So, what do I have to do, first?" I asked."Give me your hand " I reached out my hand to him, and then he brought out a needle, which he used to prick my skin, and a bit of my blood, trickled down slowly on my finger, and stopped."Why did you do that?" I asked, baffled."It's just a formality you will need to get to know the truth. Don't worry about it. Now, let's get started." He said, with a smile.Robin was being scary, but I guess one had to go through things like this to find out the truth."Touch this ball." He instructed.I moved closer to the ball, and with both my hands, I touched the ball, which light beamed from it. Just as I touched it, I gasped as my eyes began to see events from years back.~flashback~“Jana! Try to keep it under control!” My father shouted, waiting outside my room.“I am sorry, Jana. Those were days of ignorance, I admit that I was selfish.” My father said, with his eyes, looking weary.“Yes. You need to be reminded of how se
STEFAN'S POV."Melissa! Melissa!" I called out her name, and shook her, in worry.I couldn't bring myself to understand what was going on so I decided to take her back home as quick as possible. Going back was a lot easier than when I had to go through a tunnel, and a weird dessert, before I got here.All I needed to go back was just to go out through a door. I drove back home, and Diego opened the door for us."Oh, my goodness. That's Luna Jana." He said, worriedly.I quickly ran upstairs, and laid her on the bed."Melissa, stay with us." I said as I held her hand.Her head was burning, and I could see sweats on her forehead. Then I placed my hand on her forehead, and focused on relieving her pain, until she calmed down. I felt a wave of relief, and held her hands, softly."Thank you for coming back, alive. For staying strong." I said, with a slight smile.Suddenly, I felt her aura, which showed that she was perfectly okay, and now needed rest, before she wakes up. But there was so
STEFAN’S POV.“Oh, no. She is gone? Where are we going to start searching for her?” Diego asked, worriedly.Then I brought out my phone, and dialed her number, but it was ringing, right in his room.“She left her phone.” Diego said.“I still feel uneasy about this, though. Come, let’s track her scent.” I said.Diego tagged along, and we began our search. We kept tracking her scent, and it led us to a particular house.“Alpha, there are two heartbeats here.”“One is hers, and the other, I don’t know. Let’s check in to be certain that nothing is going on wrong.” I instructed.Then we walked towards the door, and knocked. But there was no answer, which was quite suspicious when they were alive. I found out that the door wasn’t locked, so I signaled to Diego, for us to walk in.As we walked in, I sensed that same mysterious aura I sensed around Melissa, the other time. As we walked into the room, to my shock, I saw Melissa, about to claw Layla, in and out of her tummy, but then, she stop
MELISSA'S POV"By the way, when we leave for our kingdom, who is going to take control of your company, while we are gone? It's hard to find good people you can leave things to." I said, worried that all his sweat and blood, would go for nothing."Uhm… regarding that, I already have someone trustworthy in mind." Stefan said as he interlinked his fingers, and laid them each on both his knees."Who is that?""Edward."I was surprised he mentioned Edward. I never expected that he would mention anyone who even works in the company, and even if he would, one would expect that he would choose someone whose position is next to his."Edward? Why Edward? You barely talk to him." I said, looking baffled."You see, Melissa. Everyone who is working at Stefan's Design, both old and young, I have kept my eye on them, right from when they were young. I studied them, and when I was pleased with their personality and skills, I led them here, indirectly, and hired them. Alicia was really cool, and nice
