MELANIE’S P.O.V The drives to God knows where is so tense. Mr Gordon isn't saying anything to me concerning where he's taking me, and the intense feeling of following him to where I don't know is starting to eat me up.After he told me to smile earlier and I asked him to confirm what I heard, he hasn't said anything since then and I'm starting to feel bother about it.Come to think of it, he said where he's taking me is to serve my punishment for taking his son out, yet he bought me a dress that could cost a fortune.Just what is going on in his head? I thought, not getting a hint of what is happening.But wherever he's taking me to must be important. Judging by his sediment dressing and how he had me all doll up. Don't get it wrong, Mr Gordon has always been dressing dazzlingly but, there's excess in his tonight outfit and it’s obvious that he's going to somewhere important.But if it's that important then why is he taking me along with him? I sigh and smack my head lightly against
MELANIE’S P.O.V“Should I invite her over to the table? She has be dying to meet you.” Mia smirk and I stare at her with disgust.I swear, if you ask me what I hate the most then I'll tell you “It’s introducing my man to another woman” huh, how can that be? She sees me here, and still have the gut to talk trash about asking an outsider to the table.I furrows my brows at Mr Gordon to hear what he is going to say, and just as I thought he ordered Mia to invite her over.Is he just dumb or he's testing my patience?“Who is she anyways?” Mr Gordon asks. He pick up his own wine and lift the glass to his mouth.“Mitchell Brooks? Well, her father is the ex chairman of this foundation, Nathaniel Brooks. She studied business management in Canada and she fly down to NYC when her father had an accident. So, she's still around and I guess she's going to fill in her father's position until he gets back to his feet.” Mia let out and Mr Gordon let out an ‘oh’.I would be lying if I said I'm
Melani’s P.O.V continuesThe drive back home is hushed as we're both tight-lipped. None of us refused to say anything and it’s starting to make me feel bothered.He was behaving like my boyfriend a while ago, and here he is, not saying anything to me. I clear my throat for the umpteen times and rub my palm together.I rest my head on the air vent as the drama he pulls at the party rush through my memory.**“Mitchell meet my fiancee. Her name is Melanie.” Mr Gordon says and my eyes widen in shock.Is he being serious right now? I blush as I look sideways. The songs playing in the background and the constant click-clack of shoes on the dance floor make it impossible for people to hear or pay attention to us. They are all engrossed with their partners.“Oh, is she the one?” Mitchell asks with a disgusting sound in her voice.I dart my attention to her. Honestly, if I take every possible insult from people, I can't take it if people look down on me.“Yes, I am the one.” I smile, stre
Mr Gordon clicks on the ‘send’ icon on the system and he smiles before he shut down the laptop.“That was a nice way to start afresh with father.” he chuckles and stretches his figure lazily on the reading seat.“That old man thinks he can make me marry again after what he had done? If not for the sake of Mia, I would have had his business go down the drain with me, but no I won't do that.” he groans and closes the notebook on the table.He stands up from the seat and drags his feet to the mini fridge in his room.He brings out a can of soft drinks and opens the lid.‘Long enough that we should have had a kid in elementary school by nowHe could still hear the words of Melanie to Mitchell echoes in his head.“I’ve never seen that side of her before, so bold and fearless.” he compliments and smiled before gulping down the drinks down his throat.He feels relaxed and he closes the fridge before walking out of his study with the can in his hand.‘I can't wait to see her face again’ He c
After running away from the dining room, Archie strides out of the exit, walking toward the path that leads to the back of the mansion.He put his hand inside his pant pocket and brings out a meat drumstick. “Awww, thank goodness I was able to slip this in my pocket before scrambling out from the dining. If not, I would have been stuck here without having anything to chew on.” He giggles, munching on the meat as soon as he takes a bite from it.“Hmm, so yummy!” He moans out in a Mouthful of meat.“No doubt, Auntie is a good cook!” he smiles, raising the meat to his face.He continues his walk to the back of the mansion. There he sees his pet cage and he falls to his knees.“Hey, buddy!” he exclaims, opening the cage and bringing out his pet.He holds the bunny in his hands and stares at it with care.“You look all fat and healthy.” he giggles as the bunny rubs his ear on his thumb.“You good?” Archie asks, even though he knew he won't be getting any answers from his pet.He runs his
“Melanie, are you okay?” Melanie moves back in shock at hearing her name. She looks down to see Mr Gordon standing up on his feet, holding the head with his palm.She takes a few steps back in shock, no she can't let him manhandle her as he did earlier.“Are you okay?” he repeated, he moves his legs towards her and Melanie keep on taking steps back until her butt hits the table.“I’m sorry, but can you stop moving closer?” she cries, unable to run away as her eyes are glued to his face. She fears he might do something bad to her if she tries to take her gaze off him.Mr Gordon closes the gap between them and pulls her to his body.“I’m sorry, Melanie.” he let out, hugging her tightly to his body.“I’m not asking you to forgive me but please stay still and listen to my heartbeat. You'll feel how sorry I am.” He cries in regret.Melanie stay still not knowing what to do.She sighs and moves her hands to his chest and pushes him off her.“I’m glad you're back to your sense. Please save
MELANIE’S P.O.V“Yes, welcome to Paradise.” Mr Gordon says to my face, jotting me out of my fantasy. I move my face sideways in total embarrassment.Did he see my cheeks turn red? Did he catch me drooling over him? Did he take advantage of my awkwardness?I groan inwardly and I see him take a step back, smiling proudly making me speechless.Woah! He's a bad person.I discreetly roll my eyes at him, and he clears his throat.“I apologise for ruining the dinner you prepared. So, hmmm, I made a portion of spaghetti with tomato sauce to apologise for the effort you put to prepared the meal.” he rush his words and I smile shyly.“Oh, yeah, thank you,” I mumbled nervously. It's like someone is in control of my tongue.I swear that's not what I wanted to say. I want to tell him to forget about the dinner and that I'm not interested in his food. But, here I am, stuttering in his front. Unable to stand my ground.“This way,” he smirks, leading me to the dining room.Don't ask me, this man i
GORDON’S P.O.VI walk inside my room, feeling mad at myself for being a dick. She's just worried about the poor boy and I'm reacting like a gull.I kick the door closed and drag my feet towards my bed. I plunge onto the bed and face-palm myself.“I hope she doesn't have the wrong idea.” I sigh and roll under the duvet.I close my eyes to sleep but I couldn't sleep, I feel restless and I know what's happening.“Today is Saturday,” I screamed and jumped off the bed like someone that is being chased.I rush to my study furniture and grab my mini jotter.I pick it up and flip through the pages.“It’s today!” I exclaimed with my hands pressed to my mouth.My eyes dilate on their own and I feel my head become heavy. I grab my head with both palms and I squeeze my eyes in pain.“Ahhhh!” I moaned in pain, panting heavily as I begin to recall the memories that I never wish to remember.Flashback“Alfred, where are we?” Selena asks as I open the door to the cabin, after looking left and
