“I am so late!” Melissa muttered to herself as she sat in the taxi her hands drumming on her laps whilst her eyes were fixed on the road looking out to see whether she would get to her destination anytime soon. A twenty-five year oldgirlgoing to her first ever job interview for a reputed and most famous company in all ofKingsland,theLeighton industries and without any qualifications? That's definitely uncalled-for and worth being early and nervous about but Melissa just had to be late! TheLeightons where known to be one of the best businessmen in all of kingsland and Avondale hills. They had a lot of branches all around the world! They were very powerful people and occupied the top on the socia
Melissa had no idea where she was getting these words from. She was known to be a cute humble girl who never even yelled at people but today it was a different story!She was so angry and aggressive because her sister asked her more like commanded her to leave the house for once and go look for a job other than typing on her phone all day.If that continued she would never get married and her sister was not willing to let her stay at her place forever hence had to go out to look for a job while in reality she was looking for a husband!“ Well no one told you to wear high heels!” this was the handsome stranger speaking, and she glared at him, but He was not done talking as he knelt down removing her left heel saying, “you should be more careful! Who were you even trying to impress by wearing these long heels? Girls of nowadays they just see a handsome stranger and already want to throw themselves at him!” That was a slap to the face that infur
She was beautiful beyond description and the urge to make her his wife grew even stronger. And now he hand the perfect plan that would get her to marry him. He looked at his immediately little brother Brandon and as if knowing his thoughts Brandon took out his phone and hit record. Melissa who felt like she was suffocating standing there scared out of her mind, knowing that this feared and handsome CEO was going to punish her, opened her mouth and in a meek voice she said, "I am sorry sir please forgive me for my earlier actions I just had a terrible morning and I totally understand that you won't hire me." She bowed her head slightly then picked up her purse and heels with her head still bowed she walked passed Mr Leighton but stopped dead in her tracks her heart boiling in rage when she felt him spank her bottom hard might I add. She turned around and with an angry look on he
"Congrats Mrs Leighton you are now officially my lawfully unwedded wife now on to the rules." he said and Melissa nodded her head. He led her to the couch and sat her down while he knelt before her "Now that you are the CEO's wife you are not allowed to cry." Melissa couldn't believe that she was now married and on top of it the man was giving her rules to follow. This was the moment she was dreading the most. He probably was going to declare her his person maid! "You are going to stay with your sister for a month and in that month every day of the month will be spent with you going out on a date with me and at the end of the month you will officially move in with me as my wife you get me?" Mr Leighton asked her and she nodded her head. "The second thing is that you are not allowed to tell your sister or anyone about this you can only tell her that
He didn't want to fall in love just yet especially since he wasn't sure of whether she was going to love him back or not. He did force her to marry him which only meant that she despised him and knowing that there was a possibility that this flawless beauty hated him infuriated Kaden and he just wanted to punch or break something. Melissa who had closed her eyes waiting for the kiss she didn't want felt a little relieved when he didn't kiss her. She looked at him as he clenched his fist looking like he was frustrated about something and she being a clever girl, took a few steps back standing in the far corner of the elevator. She wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of this ruthless man's wrath now would she? She already knew the consequences of making him angry, it was only wise to stay away from the angry bird!
Veronica's husband Jeremy who was also in the living room heard the question and stood up from his seat looking at Mel and truth be told, he also saw the ring and it was diamond. Where would his beloved shy and quietsister-in-lawget such an expensive ring?She left the house about five hours ago going to look for work but now, she came back looking like she was crying and on top of it she had a diamond ring on her finger?“This ring?”Melissa looked at the ring which was a reminder that her life wasruined andshe couldn't help but shed a tear.Veronica who was observing her little sister's actions saw the tear fall from her eyes and with a worried look she said,“Mel tell me what happened why are you crying and where did you--”Veronica was cut off as Melissa pried her hands away from her running up to her room.“Mel!”Veronica was about to run after her
"Hey good morning." She heard her sister's voice. She sat up yawning alittle and nursing her headache while her sister handed her a hot cup of creamy coffee. "Will you tell me what happened to you last night?" her sister asked.Melissa sighed about to say nothing when her phone rung, it was her husband calling.He had saved his number in her phone yesterday when they were on the date.She looked at the phone with an uninterested look then decided to ignore it.He literally forced her to marry him yesterday and was now calling? For what? To taunt her, not a chance she was going to make sure she ignores him.She cut the call then put the phone on silent mode."Are you going to tell me?" Her sister asked worriedly. Melissa was the only famil

Seven years later "Celeste!" Melissa screamed on top of her voice and the sound of small foot steps were heard running into the living room. "I swear I'm going to kill you little ---" she let the sentence hung and wobbled towards the living room were celeste was sitting on the couch her face hidden in her father's chest. "What did my baby do now?" Kaden asked in amusement while staring at his wife's big baby bump. She was due in just a week. Four years after their wedding, they had twin boys and now she was pregnant again with baby number four. Not only that but six months after the wedding, brandon finally maned up and asked Leah out and two months later she was pregnant with twins boys. Their relationship was on fast forward because the same day he found out she was pregnant he proposed marriage and a month later they were married. Aiden equally found a girl for himself two years ago but their relationship was on off until last year when she fell pregnant although he didn't
"Oh my God I'm so nervous right now!" Melissa said with a nervous laugh as the hair stylist worked on fixing her hair.It has been six months since she got out of the hospital and she and Kaden were finally getting married.The last six months have been nothing but joy and happiness for both Melissa and Kaden even though they had to struggle with Celeste's constant crying every night but luckily Brandon and Leah, her godparents came to the rescue and acted as her baby sitters including Aiden who was still upset that he wasn't one of the godparent even though they assured they would make him one for their next child.In the last six months, Brandon and Leah's relationship has also grown stronger and anyone looking at them could tell they are in love but sadly neither of them wants to make the first move and admit their feelings.Melissa has tried everything she could to urge Leah to tell him but Every
"Hurry up, places everyone. They will be here any minute!" Veronica urged as everyone scrambled around, putting things in order and making sure everything was perfect for the arrival of the new family members.It's been a month and one week since the incident happened and both mother and baby were getting discharged from the hospital.On that fateful day after the doctor came out of the room, he told them that she was in a critical condition due to loss of blood and needed a blood transfusion immediately.Kaden volunteered to give her blood but sadly, it wasn't a match and worse off the blood bank was empty.Everyone went into a fit of panic searching for blood until they found the perfect match who was non other than Leah.She donated her blood in a heart beat and three weeks later, Melissa woke up from a coma.The doctors didn't let her leave even after she
"Ahhh!" Melissa let out a scream of pain holding her stomach, blood covering her hand."Mel!!" Everyone rushed towards her as Hannah who had just been shot by Leah fell on the floor limp with her eyes wide open."My baby!" Melissa whispered in pain.Kaden looked down and blood was covering one side of the bump while the shorts she was wearing rapidly became wet with blood and what looked like water."Oh no she has been shot and is going into labour!" Aiden said in horror and without thinking twice, Kaden picked her up in his arms, running out of the building with his brothers and Leah following while his father and their men stayed back to make sure Hannah was truly dead."Please save my baby, I don't want to lose her," Melissa whispered again.Sweat mixed with tears trickling down her face,She was in a lot of pain to such an exten
"Let me go you stinking animals!" Melissa said to the men while they dragged her into a large and empty hall-looking room that had about four armed guards moving around on high alert. They had already removed the cloth that was on her mouth and the sac on her head. "I swear I'm going to lose my temper and hit this woman! I don't even know why the boss told us to ungag her. Damn, I hate nagging women," one of the guards complained. "Well, I could make it easier for you if you could just let me go! How dare you even kidnap me! Do you even know who I am!" She yelled at them again and all they did was drag her towards the metallic chair that gracefully sat in the middle of the room. They made her sit on the chair and each one of the guards held her arm making sure she wasn't doing anything stupid. "You all will pay for this, I will make sure you regret doing this to me you
Meanwhile"I'm so excited about this!" Hannah said taking the divorce papers from the table. She flipped through them and the widest grin in history spread across her face, " I will just go take these to court and finalize the divorce, see you guys later, and Kaden make sure you treat Angelica right, she's your wife now and deserves all your love and care," she added giving him a small hug and walking out of the house.Kaden let out a sigh and Angelica just awkwardly stood there not knowing whether to stay or leave."And this woman," Aiden looked at her and she lowered her gaze, "just because he signed those divorce papers doesn't mean he will stay with you. As soon as he finds a way to end all of this, I will personally kick you out!" He threatened and Angelica silently looked on." Don't worry Aiden, she already has a man in her life, she's been forced to do this just like me," Kaden explaine
"Then why did they bring you back knowing full well that she was still lurking around?" Kaden softly spoke cupping her face." Because they want to lure her out plus If I didn't come then you wouldn't have know she was the mastermind now, would you?"" I found out she was the mastermind a month ago and I've been secretly trying to find a way to make her pay!"" Wait you know? But Aiden and Brandon --- they told me that---""I didn't tell them about it," he let go of her cheeks and ran his hand in his hair, "I kept it a secret from them because I didn't want Hannah to ease drop on our conversation and know that I know. Listen baby it's dangerous for you and Celeste to be here, please listen to me and leave. She already told me that if you don't do it then she will kill you for real this time," he pleaded."But I don't want to. What if she tries something that will make you f
"No this isn't true, tell me this isn't true Kaden, tell me that you are lying and that I'm the only woman that you love!" Mel said standing in front of him and shaking him lightly."Miss Young please, I don't have any feelings for you okay, I'm in love with someone else who isn't you, so stop daydreaming! I can never love you," he said looking her dead in the eye but Mel could see that he didn't mean it, she wasn't ready to believe what he was saying."Yes miss Young," the lady Angelica said with a warm smile. She held Kaden's arm and lay on his shoulder, "He is all mine now please stop touching my man, I'm very possessive,"Mel felt all the strength leave her body,She stumbled back and Brandon, Aiden and Leah rushed towards her, giving her support.She looked back at Kaden and for a moment she saw fear and worry flash in his eyes but it quickly dissolved."Son wha
"We are waiting Mel, we deserve to know what happened," Aiden coax and Mel let out a soft sigh sitting on the couch,"Okay, I will tell you everything. That day after Tasha finished pouring gasoline on me and she and her workers left, father and Grandfather came.At first, I thought that they were really going to watch me die because that's what they said that I needed to die in order to catch the criminal.I accepted my fate and they drugged me with chloroform to help me get a 'peaceful' painless death. I passed out and when I woke up, I was in the hospital with Leah at the bedside waiting for me to wake up. I was shocked and thought I was in heaven until grandfather and father in-law came and explained everything to me including how Kaden tortured and killed the people who were behind everything.After they explained, I ask both grandpa and father-in-law to let me come back to you guys but he refused because----" she posed for a while taki
