A couple of days passed and everything seemed to be normal as no incident of kidnap, attempted rape, or verbal abuse was recorded. Bryson appeared to have moved on with his life occupying himself with loads of work and ignoring everyone including Melissa who came around but never got even ten seconds of Bryson's time."Mum, he is worse," Melissa complained on the phone. "What were you expecting? A warm hug and kisses plus a tour of Paris?" Rebecca chidded. "The man never loved you from the beginning. You were just suitable for his image on the screen before you messed everything up with plastic surgeries. I can't even personally recognize you without your voice," she added and Melissa started fuming."Is that what you can say to me, your only child?" Melissa questioned."No, it is my way of bringing you to reality and asking you to be patient. Don't expect him to show you love, warm and give you attention. You want him so be ready to take him in whatever condition he is in. What matte
"Is that the name of your boyfriend?" came Knight's robotic voice startling Dede. "Yes," Dede replied honestly."So where is he?' Knight asked and Dede lowered her head. "I hurt him so badly, he couldn't forgive me," Dede said almost whispering."I see, what did you do?" he asked, strode in and stood next to the railing resting his hand on the rail. "I first saw him and TV and I met him in person. He did a lot for me without asking for anything in return. This was after a strange love confession and a kiss," Dede said recalling the day and smiling. "But he had a girlfriend," Dede said. "So I kept my distance," she continued and narrated the whole story not leaving out a detail. "On that day, Alex set me up. He showed me images, and live footage threatening my husband's life if I didn't allow him to sleep with me. If it was about me going to prison, that would not be a problem, but I didn't want him to kill my husband. So I accepted. The day came and he had a driver pick me up to
The shocked family sat in the living room trying to comprehend what had just happened. The servant saw the judge and his people off while Melissa stood there holding the marriage certificate in her hand."What was that?" Rebecca asked. "Well, this is the craziest marriage ceremony I have ever witnessed since I was born," James commented "And the weirdest," Brian added. "And the strangest," Janet submitted."And the most awkward," Jacob added."Uncomprehendable," Rebecca added her voice."Well, if you are all done finding a sense of humour in this, I have a husband I need to understand," Melissa snapped and walked out of the living room heading in the direction Bryson went with evidence of anger in every step she took."Okay, we wanted Bryson to marry Melissa before her belly starts to show and that has been done. I guess we will be on our way back to our home," Jacob said with a sigh. "I agree. What is important is they are officially married. We can plan a celebration for Melissa
Two weeks have gone by. Melissa's pregnancy was now a month old. With Bryson going in and out of the house ignoring her like she was part of the furnishing of his apartment, going back to work seems like the ideal thing to do to take away the boredom. Her belly was not out yet so she could still pose to take pictures exposing her belly. At the office, Alex has been tasked by Melissa to find out where Bryson goes when he drives himself but he has not been successful in picking up anything to work with. He was in his office when Melissa called. Alex rolled his eyes knowing why she was calling. "He drives to a theme Park and spends time there either sitting on a bench or watching some kids play," Alex said. "Alex, the theme Park does not work up to dawn. He goes somewhere," Melissa chided. "Look, I went with your brother the last time. He will tell you. He just sits there," Alex almost yelled. "He ignores me. He won't even speak to me. It is like I am invisible to him. He will push
In the morning, Dede woke up with a terrible headache. She lay in bed with her hand on her head, trying to recall the previous day's events. She gasped and quickly lifted the blanket to check if her clothes were intact. She breathed a sigh of relief seeing she was still in her clothes. She rushed to the bathroom when the morning sickness hit her. She emptied her gut into the pot kneeling in front of the pot. She sat on the floor after feeling exhausted. She sat down for a while as she suddenly felt dizzy. She rested her head in her palm feeling soured all over. At Bryson's mansion, he was up and ready for work. Melissa had no idea when he returned home but he was already up and ready to leave for work."Bryson, you have to speak with me at one point you know. You can't just ignore me like that. I am your wife for crying out loud," Melissa yelled but Bryson just pulled his phone out to make a call completely ignoring her. Melissa out of frustration snatched the phone from his hand an
From the office, Bryson decided to pay a visit to his father hearing what Melissa and Alex were planning. He strode into the living room to find his mother. He greeted her and she ignored him but Bryson didn't care."I didn't know you could talk. Last I spoke to your wife, you have gone mute," Janet said coldly. "Mum, last I checked, I didn't make any promise to Melissa. We just signed a document," Bryson retorted. "I see. So is that why you called the judge and whoever it is that came with him home? You didn't want to commit to Melissa," Janet said turning on the sofa to look at Bryson who was standing almost behind her."She said she was carrying my child and she didn't want to have the baby unmarried. She wants to be married and now she is married. What more do you want from me? Did anyone ask my opinion when you tied Melissa around my neck?" Bryson growled."Did you discuss or ask for anyone's opinion when you decided to mount her?" Janet threw the words at him."Oh, you want to
The two men on the motorcycle just rode off. The few people around and the cars that got crushed in the hot chase where people thought the driver of the ride that went down the ditch was speeding were also left sitting on the street. The police got there soon enough to see the situation. The burnt vehicle was retrieved from the ditch. It had already burned to ash leaving nothing but mental. "What happened here?" one officer asked an eyewitness."Well, I just joined the main road and this car which is in the ditch drove past me at such a top speed. Next, it veered off the road. He almost killed two motorcycle riders had they not been fast enough to move. It went straight into the ditch and I heard a loud explosion followed by smoke," she narrated."Yeah, I saw him too, he was driving crazily but I am not sure, it seems like he was driving away from the motorcycle riders. They were right at his tail but went away as soon as the vehicle veered off the road," reported another eyewitness.
"Mum, I am coming over," Melissa said, ending the call. "What happened?" Brian asked."Well, news of Bryson's disappearance just got to her. I am getting a feeling we may have miscalculated," Melissa certain."What do you mean?" Brian asked curiously."Her voice carried a heavy weight of fear when she tried to confirm if Bryson was with me. She cares if she wasn't showing it," Melissa replied. "Well, the deal is done. We just need to confirm Bryson is dead, so he doesn't come after us out of the blue," Brian said and Melissa frowned hearing his statement."Of course, he is done. Who can survive a car falling into a ditch and bursting into flames? If his body was in the ditch the police would have found him but there was nothing. Surely he was in the car," Melissa pointed out."What if he jumped out of the car before the car fell into the ditch," Brian mentioned the possibility."Brian, sometimes I wonder how your brain works," Melissa said resting both hands on her waist drawing Bria
