Melissa

The pain was immediate and excruciating but I kept myself together.

I didn't cry, I didn't move, I didn't react.

Not for long anyway. It was a good thing that I had learned self-control.

“Mother!” Logan yelled angrily. He walked up to his mother and pulled her away from me. “Now you listen to me, that isn't what happens. You don't get to hit her, you don't have a say in this!”

“Logan, let go of your mother this minute!” Mr Fitzgerald screeched. “I don't have the patience to deal with your temper tantrums.”

“She is nothing but a common prostitute,” Mrs Fitzgerald chirped in. “Why would you protect her.”

“I'm not! Don't talk about me like this, especially when I also have the power to make and break your company. You want to be a part of my grandfather's company. My rejection wouldn't hurt you now but we all know you'd barely survive. Don't push me!” My voice was raw, filled with rage and anger, as my emotions were overflowing. I didn't realize it but I was holding back sobs.

  • SORRY, NOT YOURS ANYMORE    Hate

    MelissaI felt ashamed that she had caught us in that position but my mind was already focused on something else. This woman was so fucking beautiful. Why didn't he want her?“What is this news I hear? What madness is this Logan?” Her tone was harsh but her words seemed soft, almost as if she was trying to convince herself.“And you, I knew you were trouble from the first time I saw you in his office. Don't you have any shame? Logan and I have been together for more than five years!” Dahlia said furiously, her eyes fixed on me. She took a deep breath and then looked back at Logan.“So it was all for this,” she accused him. I couldn't believe what was happening in the room. “You deceived me, used me, led me on only to be with this slut?” Her tone sounded angry and bitter.I bit my lip.“I didn't lead you on. I called it off and you refused to move on,” Logan was no longer above me. He was now standing casually, looking at the woman in front of him.“And I will not have you call my wi

    Melissa The next morning, Richard had sent my things over and I was supposed to meet up with him later.I woke up to no sign of Logan by my side and I was glad I had the room to myself.I had my bath and got out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around my body, my hair was still wet. The room smelled like lavender. It was my favorite smell.I moved the towel to my waist, my back turned to the door while I applied some lotion over my body. The door opened with full force but I wasn't fast enough to wrap myself up with the towel.When I turned to look at the intruder, his eyes were wide, almost comically so and he looked down at me. I felt bare even though I now had a towel over me.His eyes moved from my wet hair cascading on my shoulders and then slowly made their way downwards. His lips parted slightly. My skin tingled as if it was covered in goosebumps all over. I blushed. “Hello,” I squeaked out, my cheeks burning red. What was wrong with me?“I wasn't expecting you, I though

  • SORRY, NOT YOURS ANYMORE    The Sex

    Melissa"Oh God," I let out a moan I didn't feel as the man began to kiss a line down my throat, hands roaming all over my body. The man mouthed at my exposed cleavage, making a sound of pleasure low in his throat, "God, baby. You taste so good." Of course I did, I had spent over three hours soaking in a scented bath, and layering myself with perfumed oils and body scents. I arched my back as he began to push the thin straps of my dress down my shoulders and arms, till the silk, slip dress pooled to the floor at my feet, leaving me in just red panties and my five inch heels. "Damn," he leered at me, "You're a work of art baby, you know that right?" I ducked my head, feigning shyness when really I just wanted him to get it over with so I could go home. I knew what men like him wanted, they wanted the virginal, innocent, blushing girl vibe, and that was exactly what I'd give him. The man bent his head and took one of my nipples into his mouth. "Hngh," I groaned as he began to suck

  • SORRY, NOT YOURS ANYMORE    Betrayed

    Melissa"Dean, you've gotten the promo_" my words died in my throat at the sight before me. I blinked in confusion, wondering whether I was hallucinating, but the vision remained the same. The horrifying vision of my sister and my husband tangled up together in my marital bed. "What the hell is going on here!" I screamed. They didn't even bother jumping apart and showing shock. Instead they took their time pulling away from the kiss, and finally faced me with irritated glares. "What are you doing here?" Dean asked, eyebrows pulled low in annoyance. "W-what am I doing here?" I echoed, feeling like there wasn't enough oxygen in the room, "This is my house." My sister Ellen snorted, "last time I checked, your name isn't on the deed." "Shut up!" I roared at her. "Don't you dare speak to her like that." My husband spat, anger rolling off him. "I don't understand, what's going on?" There was no way it was really what i thought, no way that my husband and my cruel sister were actua

  • SORRY, NOT YOURS ANYMORE    The Proposal

    Melissa"I want to speak to Logan Fitzgerald." I said as I stepped up to the front desk. The dark haired secretary took her time, running a mocking gaze over me, from my dirty, wrinkled dress to my cheap shoes, messy hair and ruined make up. I knew I looked crazy, but I didn't care. I was a desperate, heartbroken woman, and I had to make desperate moves. I was homeless, cashless and hopeless. I had no friends because Dean had convinced me that I didn't need them when we got married, and I had a feeling my parents wouldn't be willing to help. I didn't understand why they hated me so much, no matter how much I tried. They showered Ellen with love while treating me like I was a virus. Being with Dean finally made me feel loved for the first time in my life, but it turned out that it was all a beautiful illusion. "Do you have an appointment?" She sneered. "Can you just tell him that Mrs. Garrett wants to see him?" Even calling myself that name made me feel like retching. "I see that

  • SORRY, NOT YOURS ANYMORE    Disgraced

    Melissa. "Mrs. Melissa Fitzpatrick." I muttered under my breath. I stared at the ring on my finger, still in shock from everything that had happened in the past few hours. I couldn't believe I'd gone from married to divorced to married again in the span of a day. My life was really one big mess. "We're here," my new husband said from my side. I glanced up, only just realizing that the car had pulled to a stop. I'd barely had time to sign the five year marriage contract and redo my mascara before Logan had dragged me to his car and informed me that we had somewhere to be. "Oh wow," I exclaimed as I stepped down from the car and stared at the magnificent building before me. "Come on," he said impatiently, heading for the stairs leading up to the large front doors. Inside the building was just as perfect as the outside, with glittering chandeliers, dark green curtains, and thick rugs, expensive paintings and pottery. I trailed after Logan, too distracted to take note of the voices

  • SORRY, NOT YOURS ANYMORE    Seeing Him Again

    MelissaFive years later"Miss Bentley, you have a call from the contractor working on the Seaside project," my assistant Grace said, as she walked beside me, ticking things off her pad. "Hold it until after my meeting, but if my lawyer calls, inform him to start legal proceedings for our two stable projects." I said, while pulling out a mirror to check my lipstick. "Your date from last night called about a second date tonight." She hesitated, " I think he might be the one. He's sweet." I smiled, remembering the cute tech guy from yesterday who had taken me to a low-key Italian restaurant and called me his lucky charm. He was sweet, but the truth is that I didn't want sweet, "Tell him I don't do repeats." "You have six lunch requests. One is from the CEO of Derr Inc." she informed me. "Schedule with him. Is that all?" I asked as we halted in front of the office door. She nodded, then adjusted her glasses, "Are you sure you're ready?" "I've been waiting for this day for five yea

    Melissa I opened my mouth to protest but the cocky son of a bitch didn't wait, he walked out on me.I turned to Grace and she looked at me apologetically, guilty for listening to my conversation.“Let's go!” I barked at her and stalked away towards the parking lot. She followed me and we got into car, leaving the scene behind us. My whole body was still shaking from anger and my nerves felt like they were about to break. My fists clenched tightly against my dress and from time to time I could feel Grace’s eyes on me.Once I had gotten home, I hurried down hoping to make it to my room but instead I came face to face with him.Richard Bentley, my grandfather. His aura reeked of old money, a mixture of power and entitlement. He stood tall and straight in front of the glass door that led to my balcony, his dark grey two piece perfectly fitted and looking sharp even when he didn’t put effort into it. “Melissa” His voice cut through the silence like a whip crack. His aura flickered arou

  • SORRY, NOT YOURS ANYMORE    Now Mrs Fitzgerald

    Melissa“We are getting married!” Logan announced confidently and the room fell silent.It was typical of him to always have such power over everyone. His aura commanded everyone’s attention with ease, a fact he was very aware of and loved it about himself. But right now he could only focus on one person in that room, so when he looked at Richard, he saw hostility. I am sure of this because that was what I saw.Richard began to chuckle, it was empty and sounded like nails on a chalkboard, which made me more nervous.“Is this some sort of joke?”“No Sir, we were engaged before we lost contact, tell him, Melissa”I was too frozen to speak but in the secrecy of my heart I was glad he had used the term “Engaged” instead of “Married”. That would have complicated things more.Everyone was waiting for me to say something. If I didn't affirm, Logan would keep to his threats, I knew him too well.“It’s the truth Grandfather,” I said with all the dignity possible. Richard’s head turned towards

  • SORRY, NOT YOURS ANYMORE    What The Hell?

    Melissa“What are you doing? Why are you following me, you said one week and it has barely been 24 hours since I left your office” I growled at the man in front of me.“One week for you to decide. I can go do the rest” he replied. “But I don't think you'll be having much fun on your own. Besides, l am only here to see my father in law” He added with a smirk. “The rest is all up to you. You have my number if you change your mind” Fear. I was terrified. Not just because he knew so much about me that even my family didn’t know. But also because I didn't have a say in this.“Please, Logan…” I whispered as I looked around for someplace safe and away from him. “Act neutral and lead the way” he replied. I could feel his eyes burning into me as I moved forward trying not to think about what would happen if Richard came out of nowhere. The thought of having to explain myself made my stomach churn. So instead, I tried to focus my attention on anything else. He followed me closely as I led

    Melissa“Sir your fiancee is here” I heard his receptionist say from behind the door.Logan didn't make any attempt to move so I pushed him.What surprised me was the way my hands tingled as I did it and the fact that he did not object. We stared at each other for a moment before he turned around.But he didn't exactly move from me.When the gracious woman whom I had recognized as his fiancee walked in, she looked more breathtaking in person but there was a look on her face that told me I needed to leave.“Who is this?” She sneered at me, eyes narrowing further when Logan pulled me by the arm and when we were close enough, he whispered “One week” even though Dahlia was there.Goosebumps formed on my skin as I walked out of the door, not wanting to be in that environment.I didn't say a word to Grace as she followed me back to the car.What would I do? I didn't know what he had done with the creep from last night, I didn't know if he was alive, I didn't know anything.Once I got back t

    Melissa“He is not breathing, he is not moving!” I screamed at Logan in the middle of my panic attack. “Get yourself together. He was going to hurt you” his voice held no remorse, as usual, it always sounded as if that were the only thing he cared about. “What do we do?” This wasn't what I expected! The last thing I wanted was to be caught in a scandal. Not now, Richard was going to kill me.Logan brought out his phone and I could tell he was dialing a number “You should go. I will handle it” Logan said and before I could even protest he shoved my keys into my hands.“Go” He repeated. His tone held finality and without any protest, I opened the door, slammed it shut, got into my car, and drove home without looking back. My hands were shaking as I held onto the wheels. My whole body shook and my eyes were glued to the road in front of me “Don’t look back. You can’t afford it” I reminded myself repeatedly over and over again while praying that this wouldn’t be the end of me. And if eve

I knew him too well.I threw on grey sweatpants that came with a grey hoodie, I didn't want to give him the impression that I was putting in any effort for him.I didn't want to be around him.I threw on my sunshades. The last thing I wanted was to be caught in public with Logan Fitzgerald.“I am going out for a little while” I called out to Richard.“But it's quite late” He protested and stood up from his desk. I could see in his face that he did not approve of it.“I won't be gone long,” I said. “I'm just going for a walk,” I said as if I had every right to do so.“Are you sure?” He asked with a worried expression.“Yeah, why wouldn't I be? I will be fine” I answered and headed out of the building before he could protest further.I took my car contrary to what I said about going for a walk. And when I got inside La Casa, it wasn't hard to spot him casually glancing through his phone and the watch around his wrist.“Just on time,” He said when I final
