The room seems to be like an office setting with a bed at the corner. Surprisingly, most of his properties were expensive, they looked more expensive than the room itself.
Three computers were neatly arranged on a brown table in another corner of the room. Funny enough, it seems far from where she had been dancing.
Michael stood in the middle of the room, shirtless. His hands folded behind him and his signature smile was on his face as he watch Melissa dance tiredly.
"You don't have to do this, Melissa," Michael said the same phase for the fifth time.
As usual, Melissa would look at him, sigh, and continue dancing. If it wasn't that she need the money and she had missed his first dance, she would have begged him to dance another day.
"Melissa, you have stressed yourself so much today" Michael walk to her, he pulled her
"What are you talking about?" Melissa asked confusion written all over her face as Michael ignore her and walks to the bed at the corner. "Come here" Melissa's eyes grow wide like they would pop out any moment soon. She moved back pressing herself against the door as she broke down, crying bitterly. "Michael this is not you doing this" she tried to convince him. "Do you think I am a psychic or what?" Michael lay with his back flat on the bed, both hands tucked below his head as he smile "You know I am not drunk". Melissa didn't bother answering, she just watches around the room if she could see anywhere he had left the key. It didn't take long before she saw it, placed alone on the bed stand that he was on. How could he have locked the door and kept the key that far and she never noticed?&nbs
Everything else happen to like it was in a movie. Melissa heard the door burst open as four men in a Black suit walked in, they grabbed Michael away from Melissa and waited for the last person, who seems to be hiding his face from her. The four men look huge, their visible skin was covered with tattoos from their wrist to neck. The black suits looked like it was too tight and was strangling them. But still, they looked void, not peaceful, not angry, no emotions at all as they stood at their various spots. Two of the men in black were still holding Michael who had a disgusting smirk on his face while the remaining two stood behind the last man, holding black stuffed objects. The last man seems angry as she was yelling before he got close, he removed his watch, rings, and necklaces. One of the remaining two quickly collected them from
The place was dark and stuffy, the only way air could penetrate is the small square at the ceiling, not bigger than a laptop. That only space seems to be the only source of light and a person would hardly see the face of the next person. It was also silent, dead silent that all that could be heard is the slow humming of a weird song coming from the darkest edge of the cell-like room. The noise of chains and unlocking was heard, disturbing the peace of the lonely jailbird. Well, not for much, the song stopped for a few seconds and continued after a while. "Hello, Brother," The prisoner said from the corner cell, sounds of dangling chains filled the room then stopped "What will you tell father?" "Hit the light" Was the order that came from the second voice and immediately, the room was given light, Williams the second v
The night is cold and the sky is full of bright stars, they looked like silver birds shining in the darkness. The evening breeze seems rough as it looks like it would rain. Williams stood on the balcony, overlooking the activities going on in the compound. Few men in black stood like a statue at the entrance, each standing in the dark with their hands across their backs. In the middle, more men and few women including Rosie were spotted, doing different things but still seems to be alert about the surrounding region. Some were standing like wooden images, some seated, but not talking to each other, some just staring at the void, while the rest looked like they were under spell, just glued to a spot, staring at the entrance. A lady walked in with a bucket of champagne and a cup. She was dressed in a plain light blue dress, her short blue-dyed hair was neatly combed and she had a sweet smile plastered
The worst way to get of bed on a Monday morning is to roll off the bed. Melissa had forgotten that she had been with Williams in his house and had not gone home. He had refused to let her go saying, Michael might still be out and would want to harm her or do something bad to her.No matter how she begs him to let her go, he still refuses, saying he refuses her. Deep down Melissa loves the way he is been too protective. He would follow her everywhere, do everything she asks and kept apologizing every day. Last night, she had fallen asleep on a couch, with a plate of popcorn, and a bottle of coke. They fought over the remote until they agreed to make it turn by turn. Bluff!! So childish! "Damn!" She cuss as she stood up and ran to the elevator. All through last week was totally was
After the lecture was something different as Melissa kept getting unwanted stares from her peers. She wasn't sure if it was because they all saw Williams drive her to school or because they now seems free with each other. She gasps as she remembered Williams placing what he calls a friendly kiss on her forehead. She wouldn't lie, she had been falling more for Williams these few days. Everything about him that seems to disgust her now makes her feel special. The way he looks at her, the way he holds her, the way he defends her, or even the way he talks to her. The fact that he told her that he had loved her since the first day he set his eyes on her made her want to scream for joy every hour. Her ballet call would be fast approaching and she needs to change and be there to do some practice on her own. For the past few da
It was just like a bad dream, where Melissa kept hearing stranger voices. Although there were not so strange she want to pretend they were strange. She felt been carried and moved so somewhere else, even when she knew the place was far, she felt safe. She felt been moved harshly and some droplet of water drop on her face. Slowly, without effort, she turned to her left side and open her eyes, she immediately recognized the room to be hers. "Melissa" Leah sounds worried, she shook Melissa again as she began to smile "Melissa" she turned to her back "guys quit fighting, she is awake" Williams, Molly, and Sam rushed to her, almost hugging her immediately on her beg. They all look worried like she died or something bad had happened to her. It took Melissa a few seconds to think before she remembered what had happened. "I failed again" she cried "What
Williams didn't move a muscle nor did his cold face show any reaction, he just wait still as if allowing Melissa to unleash her pain and anger as she slapped him twice again. "What have you done?" She cried as she began to punch his broad chest "Williams please tell me something" "I hate to break it to you but, your father does not want you and I don't see why you are crying over him," Williams said coldly as he tried to contain her hands in his. Even when everything would want Melissa to believe him, she doesn't want to believe her father would abandon her. "My dad loves me" She pushed him "and he tells me he loves me every time we talk" she rushed to her bedside and brought out a book from her pillow "I will prove it to you" Williams and the rest girls watch as Melissa went through the bo
Melissa couldn't wait to be told she would be in dept if she wait any longer. Since she refused Williams proposal, narrowly escape Michael's second death, she had been evading her friends and Williams. The fear alone that Michael might come for her made her keep her location hidden. For the past three weeks, she had been doing things the way she wants. Just like how she feels, in due time, Michael will get her back and she will never be free again. The way she watched him kill Luciano and Rosie made her fear for her life but she still want to leave her life the way she might be able to tell her children she did try her best to enjoy. Since lectures stopped days ago all she had to do is work to save up for rents. She always made sure to keep her phone off and dance for an unknown club every night. She gets to pay for different hotels to pass the night and send the remai
Williams couldn't believe his eyes, although it wasn't a huge television in front of him but he doesn't want to believe that. At least not now, not ever. "She might just be overwhelmed" he shrugged. Chasing her would be of no use so he called, asking his men not to let her out. He grabbed the bottle of tequila and rushed down the elevator. On reaching the last floor flat, he couldn't find her, he asked about her but they said they didn't see her run out. "Search the whole building" He yelled to his guards "Check the elevator, she might be trapped" They nodded and split, looking for Melissa. Williams kept making angry noises, he would yell and cuss, shouting at everyone that comes near him. He received a weird glance from customers and workers but he didn't care, he wants Melissa back and she must accept his proposal. "Sir" A female worke
At the back of the state, Melissa still couldn't take her mind of Michael as she sat with other dancers, waiting to be judged.She ignored the strange stare from other dancers like she has a plague or virus. "What happened out there?" Jake asked worried as he offered her a chill bottle of water "You look like you were about to faint" Melissa swallowed hard, she looked at Jake in silence as the suspense grew. Her gaze locked him his and she maintain it, trying to think about something else to talk about. "Did you can Michael?" She asked before she could stop herself. Jake froze, he stared at her like she had lost it and he pitied her. He took the bottled water she was holding and keep it on the floor. "You see this bottle" he pointed at it "Can I ask if you know the name of the person that filled it?" M
Melissa cried all through, getting to put a lot of makeup on her face made her look less of a lost drunk girl. About thirty minutes to their dance, Jake her partner decided to take their intro routine with her. "We are dancing FADED by Alen walker, not Salsa!" Jake said in surprise as Melissa missed the step again "You are not yourself, Melissa" Jake whispered as Melissa danced to him. According to the dance, they spilled and walked towards each other slowly on their toes. "Don't tell me you are nervous!" Jake seem pissed, he tried to hold Melissa but she stepped on him "Ouch!" "So sorry" Melissa stopped. Melissa kept breathing hard as she looked at his face, her shoulders dropped. She moved a tiny bit of stray hair behind her and sniffed. "What's wrong Melissa!" Jake seems worried, he rushed to her and hugged her "It's okay
Time waits for no man! Melissa found it difficult to sleep as all she could think about is how she would dance with Jared she didn't see all of the day. It had been days, three complete days that she had to lie to him about going to work while she had to dance and had marathon sex with Williams. Funny enough, she was supposed to see Williams that evening but couldn't get herself to. They had literally had sex five times since yesterday and she couldn't have it anymore. She lost her mind whenever she is with him. Memories of how they made love flashed back and she couldn't help but blush and become horny again. She rolled off the bed and walked to the kitchen to grab a can of beer. "You can't just keep ignoring me like this, Melissa " Karen complained. Melissa knew Karen had been around lately but she also had been try
"Let your body free, Melissa," Williams said for the fourth time. Dancing had been going fine until she began to act more rigid than she is supposed to be. He stopped her and asked her to take deep breaths. "You know how to make yourself free?" He asked and she shook her head, his brows flinched then he decided to overlook "Then how do you concentrate" "I just imagine I am in the ocean and can only survive if I dance like a piece of paper," Melissa said immediately. Although, that wasn't what Williams had expected he did make him smile. he asked her to get to the basic principles of ballet and stand on her toes which she did. "Now close your eyes " he whispered as he went behind her "I will teach you another way" Just as he said, she closed her eyes, waiting for the next Instructions. "To be light as a feather and have the strengt
Leah sat still, watching her surrounding like she was Alice trapped in wonderland. She brought out her phone and began to take pictures of the place. The place looks like a small ballet hall, just like the one Melissa train in almost every day. Williams had brought it for Melissa to practice in and get to know her friends more. He knows that if he can get Melissa to trust him again that the rest girls won't be a problem except Molly, who kept finding fault in all he does. Leah could not believe Melissa had been taking dance lessons from Williams in order to win the best ballet dancer for Loyola college this year. It's almost twenty minutes late from the time they all talked about and no one had arrived except for Leah who seems to be getting bored and angry. "Remind me what I am doing here again" she yelled, she looked around, shrugged, and grinned "Oh poor Leah, you are here to watch Melis
Melissa couldn't contain her surprise and anger. Even if she wanted to go after Williams that had left about two minutes ago, she should at least obey his rules that asked her to stay there till he get back. "Michael is gone?" She repeated. For the first few seconds, she didn't get the statement well or understand what the person meant. She slapped her hand over her forehead so hard that she might get it red. Although she still has a strong hatred for Michael deep down, she never wished for him to die too soon. "Poor Williams" she gasped. Ignoring Williams's simple warning of not leaving the room, she walked out the door hoping to meet Williams maybe in grief over the death of his brother. "Thanks" she whispered to the maid the opened the last iron door for her. "Call me Rose" the girl smiled. "Like Rosie?" Melissa wig
Melissa woke up on hearing her alarm sing for the third time, something she never likes for a bit. She rolled off the bed and walked to the kitchen to get a bottle of water only to find Karen passed out on the couch. "Karen" she whispered. At first, she had wanted to rush to her, pull her hair and slam her against the floor but something stronger than anger kept her from moving. Mere looking at Karen, you could tell she is as good as useless. Her make-up seems too much, her clothes barely covered her body, her pants were still on her ankle, and her hair was rough. She must have had sex on that couch. She decided to ignore her and do whatever she need to execute. About aA few minutes later, she walked out of the kitchen with a cup of coffee and toasted bread. Wrong combination but her taste for weird food seems to expand each day. She quickly took a quick b
