"Remember all the time we spent together."
Music played: Together by Demi Lovato.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Melody POVI blinked at Giovanni’s question and didn’t know how to answer him. He was close to the truth and sooner or later, he will realize the truth but, the outcome of the truth was all I tried to avoid.
“Who are you?” he asked again, his eyes fixed on mine. I tried to avoid his glaring eyes but he grabbed my hand and pulled me closer to him. There was no space between us, our bodies were clung together and I felt his hand on my waist. He caressed my face and held my chin; he lowered his head and whispered into my ears.
“I’m not going to ask again Melody. My patience doesn’t last long." His breath sent shivers to my body. I like the feeling but I know he was taunting me.
"What is life to you?" Melody POVThe morning of the presentation came as fast as I expected. I woke up early to prepare for the office and by six am, I was on my way to the office. Before I left for the office, Lorena wished me luck and hope that by the end of the day, I got to stay at the end.I arrived at the office at exactly 6:30 am. When I got to the security checkpoint, they gave me a suspicious look as I came to the office to steal something. After making them understand that I came early for business, I took the elevator to the 35th floor. No one was on the floor yet and it gave me the space and time I needed to prepare for the presentation.For an hour and thirty-minute, I didn't seat and was walking around while reading out the lines for the presentation. "Letting everyone knows that with memories, all the bad memories go away." I ended the prac
Melody's POV"So what should I call you now? A director or an assistant?" Lorena asked for the umpteenth time."Whatever you wished to call me," I replied and pushed the shopping cart down the food aisle. It was a Saturday so Lorena and I decided to do some shopping before moving to our new apartment on Sunday. "So tell me, Lorena, how is it with you and Lorenza?" I dropped a canned fish into the cart."Mummy," Hope pointed to a cereal."I want that.""Then it's all yours baby," I said and grabbed the mickey mouse coco pops from the cereal row and dropped them into the cart. Hope jumped happily inside the cart and grabbed the cereal with so much joy."Marissa seems pretty nice," Lorena replied to my question."What?" I raised my brows in confusion. "Are you sure you know who I'm talking of here?""Sure I do. I know M
Giovanni POV I had no idea of what was going on with melody but I knew it has to do with my family especially Lorenzo. He wanted her gone and he could have done something to her which explains her attitude. "Any information on melody yet?" I reminded him of the task I've given to him weeks ago. "I'm still working on it, sir. Her identity is a mystery. The only information I could get on her was the one I submitted a few weeks back." "So no information on her yet?" I asked and he nodded. I wonder how hard it could be to find just an ordinary person's identity. Someone was behind it and whoever that person was, they didn't want me to find out who she truly is. "Sir, we are here," Dennis announced. The gigantic gate leading to my parent's estate opened wide and I quickly held my chest to stop the panic attack that hit me. It always happens whenever I come to the estate. "Argh," I
"All I want is to be free."Giovanni's POVThe nightmares came again and this time it was worst than the ones I had before. I had a vivid dream about the fire and a woman calling out to me but that was not all. The nightmares I had before melody came into my life were always about the fire and a woman whose face I couldn't see always shouted for my help but this dream was different, I get to see her face but she got shot right in front of me. A bullet pierced her heart and the red liquid gushing out of her heart flows towards me and before I knew it, I was burning and drowning in the pool of her blood. The woman screams for me to help but I couldn't because I was drowning and burning at the same time. Her screams jerked me out of my dream, I woke up sweating and panting hard. I rushed out of the bed, took the stairs down, and head into the kitchen.I took two
"Everything is never enough!" Melody POV At first, I didn't return his hug but when I felt him pulling me closer I returned the hug. I let my arms encircled itself around his waist. His cologne filled my nose and I couldn't help but sniffed the fragrance."I'm sorry for realizing too late," I didn't know why he was apologizing but from what he said, he might have realized the truth."You know the truth?" I asked and he nodded. I quickly detached my arms around his waist and pushed his arm away. He groaned in pain and walked to the couch to take a seat. "Are you alright?" I asked and walked towards him. "Did I hurt you?" He shook his head. I sat down beside him and looked into his eyes. He stared back at me and smiled. I pretend to cough and looked away."Are you back to the office?""Yes. I need to tell you something."
"If love is a crime, I'm willing to be hunted." Giovanni POV "Why are you here?" I asked my mother as soon as melody left the office. "What do you want?" "Stop asking me questions son and listen to what I have to say." She begged and took a seat opposite me. "That's lady shouldn't be here. She is a bit of bad luck." I gave her a suspicious look but didn't say anything. "She needs to go. She doesn't belong here." She added. "Giovanni, you need to send her away." "What is your issue with her? If you know something mother, you better tell me before I find out myself." "Are you threatening me?" "I am not threatening you mother, I am warning you because you might not like the outcome once I find out the truth." "She needs to leave!" "Why?" When she didn't reply, I smil
"If we dwell too much on the past then we might never see the future." Giovanni POV "She survives but she hasn't shown sign of waking up yet, " the doctor's words keep resounding in my head over and over again as I drove out of the hospital."What's going to happen to her?" Lorena had asked the doctor. "The poison had been successfully flushed out of her sister but due to how poisonous it was, it affected one of her vital organs." Lorena burst into the tears at the doctor's announcement. "Please save her," she begged the doctor. I couldn't say anything as I watched as Lorena cried over her friend. All I could do was walk away like a coward. Dennis offered to drive me home but I rejected his offer and collected the keys from him. "I need you to stay with Melody and watch over her
"Just when I thought It will end, it all started again." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Giovanni POVIt's been two days. Melody had been hospitalized for two days with no sign of waking up. For those two days, I was miserable. I couldn't work like I used to. I had Anita take up melody's position temporarily until she wakes up. I also made sure that Lorena and Hope were guarded by securities appointed by Dennis. After the attack, Daniel introduced someone who could help investigate and catch the attacker. I needed to know why and who wanted melody and myself dead.If only I could regain my memories, I would be able to find out the real truth. I wanted to ask Lorenzo for help but I didn't trust him yet and he could be the attacker. I glanced at my wristwatch for the umpteenth time while waiting for the investigator Dennis hired. I've been in a cafe where we agreed to meet while D
