Jude paced up and down, waiting for the random lady he had sent to send him a video of the man Mel was marrying. When he finally received the video, his eyes widened in shock, "What?" Meanwhile, Simon drove Mel to his house and when they came out of the car, she looked around in awe, "Wow! This is where you live?" She asked. He smiled, amused by her question, "Would I bring you to someone else's house?" She smiled as well. Although she believed that one day she would be able to own such a house, she never thought that she would live in such a house so soon as a wife. Even if her marriage was temporary, while she was Simon's wife, she could refer to it as her house. She had only been able to get into such houses, thanks to Miranda, during the time she worked as her bodyguard. She went to the boot where her three boxes were and wanted to take them out, but Jude said, "No! They'll be taken out by my staff." At this time, three men and three women came out from inside the ho
Simon quickly hurried out of his father's house with Mel and put her in his car. As he drove away, he did not stop until he arrived at the hospital. At the hospital, he carried her out of the car, hurried straight to the hospital room she had earlier been in, and placed her on the bed. Once she lay on the bed, Mel, whose eyes had been closed, opened her eyes, stared at him, and smiled. She began to recall how they had made their plans. From the moment she had stood by the door and overheard the maids talking about reporting to Sandra, she realized that Simon's sister had spies in his house, which was why she was always able to beat him. After taking her bath and putting the bandage around her head, they left the house and on their way to his father's house, she said, "There's something I need to tell you, Simon." "What is it?" he asked. She went ahead and told him how the maids had figured out that their wedding wasn't real and may have called Sandra to inform her. "And
Mel waited in the hospital while Simon drove to the nearest fast-food restaurant and bought her a plate of rice. When he returned, the doctor was attending to her, so he sat by her bedside and waited until the doctor was through. "Your dinner is ready," he told her, opening the plate of rice and bringing out a spoon. "What about you?" Mel asked. "What will you eat?" "I told you I don't eat much. Don't worry about me." He replied. "But it's important for you to eat," she insisted. "Did you have breakfast?" He nodded, "Yes, I did." "Okay, how about we share this?" She asked. "I am not the sick one; you are. So you should eat," he insisted. "Okay," Mel replied, not wanting to argue any further. She sat up and was about to take the spoon from him when he said, "It's okay, I can feed you." "What?" She chuckled. "Why will you feed me? I'm not a child." "Who says only children get to be fed?" He asked. "But only children should be fed. I mean, my parents did feed me as
Simon carried Mel into her room and sat her on the couch. "You need to take your bath or change your clothes," he told her. "I'll go to my room and freshen up, once I'm changed, I'll be back here to check on you." She nodded, "Okay. Thank you." "But before then, let me give you your medication." He quickly got a glass of water and made her take her medication but she continued to shiver. As he began to leave the room, he stood by the door staring at her, wondering if he should call the maids to assist her. But then, he decided against it and left for his room. While in the bathroom bathing, he had flashes of something that happened years ago. He remembered running out of a car, standing under the rain, and staring at a dead body in shock. He shook the thought off, "Forget about this, Simon. Don't think about it anymore." Once he took his bath, he got dressed and left his room, hurrying back to Mel's room. He noticed that she had changed into her nightwear and was lying
MEL Simon reached out his hand and touched my neck, checking my temperature while I just stared at him.Afterward, he got off the bed and said, "Your temperature seems normal and you look fine this morning, still, I want to take you to the doctor later in the day to confirm that you are good."Thinking about how he spent last night taking care of me, I did not want to be an unnecessary burden to him, so I agreed to go to the hospital."I'm sorry I slept off in your room, and...." He stopped speaking when we heard a knock on the door."Come inside," he ordered and Becky opened the door and came inside.The moment she did, Simon's expression changed and he said to me, "No, I will not let this go. Sandra should not have attacked you yesterday. She almost killed you and that is something I cannot forgive.""So, what are you going to do?" I immediately caught on and asked."I will take your hospital report to my father today, so he can see the extent of the damage Sandra dared to inflict
MELAfter speaking to Jude, Simon and I had breakfast and he drove me to his company.We had agreed for Jude to meet me at the front of Simon's company because I had to drive the nail further into the head.Once we arrived, I was surprised to see that Jude was already there, pacing up and down. It was surprising because one of the things Jude never did in the past was arrive on time.Back then, I told myself that it was a bad habit he had gotten used to, and I accepted that he would never change. In hindsight, I realized that it was because Jude never cared about my feelings or the things that made me happy.It was strange how many red flags I had failed to notice because I was blinded by love. Now that my eyes were clear, I was ashamed of myself for being so stupid."I'll wait in the car," Simon told me. "He already seems quite anxious."I nodded and walked out of the car to meet with Jude."I heard you were dying but you seem fine to me," he said the moment I got close to him.I sco
Mel continued to watch the interaction between the lady named Gia and Simon. As she hugged Simon, he gently pushed her away from his arms, his eyes still showing surprise. "Is this really you, Gia?" He asked. She nodded as she wiped her eyes, "Yes, it's me, Simon. It's been so long, this feels like a dream." Simon swallowed, "But I don't understand, I thought you were dead. I went to your funeral, so how come...?" She smiled, "Yeah, I... It's a long story, Simon, it's a very long story. But nothing else makes me more happy than seeing you. If I hadn't seen you recently on the news, I would never have remembered you. I lost my memory, I lost my identity... I...." "Wait! You lost your memory? How did that happen?" Simon felt his heart beating fast. "That accident that happened so many years ago." He gasped, "This is a lot to take in, Gia. You...." As though he remembered something, Simon suddenly stopped and turned his attention to Mel, realizing that she had been, staring at
MEL After Simon left the hospital, I waited in my bed, feeling bored out of my wits as the doctor ran some tests on my blood. After the blood test, I underwent a few scans and was told that I was okay. Once again, the doctor encouraged me to get some rest and not neglect my medication. Once the doctor was through with me, I didn't feel like calling Simon. I thought about my friend, Miranda, and realized that she was fortunate. Although I used to tell her that she was lucky to be married to Hazel. It was at that moment it dawned on me that she was indeed lucky. I decided to call her and share with her how marriage life has been with me. She answered the call and was very excited to hear my voice. "I was just about to call you," she said. "Are you sure you're telling me the truth?" I asked her and she laughed. "Sincerely, I'm telling you the truth. The thing is that I didn't go to school today because I was too exhausted when I woke up this morning. I've been home all d
