Mellisa wiped her tears and took a deep breath, trying to stay strong and calm. She put on a brave face and decided to move forward despite her sadness. and pulled away from the hug, forcing a smile as she spoke. "Granny, how are you today." She asked, trying as much as possible to sound normal. Riya knew everything but said nothing. " I'm good dear," She smiled sadly. "Do you need anything, or do you want to go shopping? Anything you want??" Riya asked. Trying to reduce her guilty coincidence. "Don't worry grandma, I don't need anything." Melissa said, "I'm sure it is time for breakfast, let's go and have breakfast, you must be hungry by now ." Mellisa said, hiding her worries and trying not to think about what happened. She smiled and tried to focus on the present moment and not think about the past. She knew that bad luck and she were best friends so she was determined to accept that fact and move on in life with her pain and sorrow. She took a deep breath and knew that she could
" If you know what's good for you, you better leave before my grandmother and dad come home. " Zick said pointing at the door.`"` Don't worry, I will never make the mistake of missing you, you are just an old hag that suffocates people, now get out of here. " " I will leave, " Mellisa said, she turned around, her eyes welling with tears as she made her way to the door. She had been foolish to think that Zick would ever care for her, that he would ever see her as anything more than an old hag. She had been foolish to think that he could ever love her.With a heavy heart and tears streaming down her face, Mellisa opened the door and stepped outside. She was determined to never make the mistake of believing in someone again."Oh My gosh!!!! Is she gone for real or am I dreaming??? " Liala exclaimed happily as she looked at the door where Mellisa walked out. She was so relieved that her son would finally get to breathe again. Zick chuckled, watching his mother spinning around the room l
The car finally halted in front of an old restaurant, and the Gang of Kidnappers dragged Mellisa Linda inside the old restaurant. The restaurant was a decrepit building, with paint peeling from the walls and the windows covered in dust. The tables were stained and the chairs were sagging. The floor was a patchwork of linoleum, with cracks and chips in the tiles that had been there for years. The kitchen was a disaster, the appliances caked with grease and the sink overflowing with dirty dishes. The air was thick with the smell of stale cooking and mold. "Well!! Well!! Well…. We are here." The leader of the Gang smirked. "Please send my greetings to God when you reach heaven." "What are you going to do to us?" Milissa asked, she did not care about dying but she was concerned about Linda who was shaking in fear. " Are you that bornless that you'd kill a woman… I mean we are no less than your mother, she is a woman who brought you on this earth, so it means you must respect all women o
" I'm Linda by the way, what's your name? Linda asked at the other side of the room, trying to keep Mellisa company, she knew that her father would find her anytime soon because of the necklace she was wearing that had a tracker on it. " My name is Mellisa, nice to meet you Linda. " Melissa said, her body was shivering already because of the cold, it was getting worse by every passing second. "Nice to meet you too." Linda smiled happily at the other side of the room, she was so glad that she met Mellissa and she wanted to make her her friend. " Don't worry my father will be here soon."" By the time that your father would be here, I would have been dead. " Mellosa said sadly, she was tired of living and she had no courage to keep on moving. Enough was enough, it was time for her soul to rest in peace. " Don't say that please. Linda said with a cracking voice, her chins quivering. " How do you think I would keep on living knowing that you died because of me? Please hang on. " " Don
After a few minutes of waiting the doctor finally came out of the ward where Mellisa was. " Doctor, is Mellisa alright?"Linda rushed towards the doctor." Is she awake now? " " Don't worry, she is saved, she could have died if the cold had not lessened out of her body but thanks to whatever you did to her that saved her life. " The doctor said. "But we have to run more tests on her after 3 days, because she has symptoms of Cardiovascular Disease. " The doctor explained. " What is that doctor, " Maxwell asked with a raised eyebrow." Can that be treated?""Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are a major health problem and can cause a variety of symptoms, including chest pain, shortness of breath, and irregular heartbeats. " The doctors explained. "We have already done a few tests like ECG, Echocardiography, and a blood test. We also need to do a stress test, to check the functioning of the heart under stress.Our team of doctors will monitor her closely and keep her under observation. We wi
.Mellisa blushed upon hearing Max's indirect compliment. No one had ever told her she was beautiful before, so it felt strange to hear it. "T...Thank you, sir," she stammered. "Can I use the bathroom?""Of course," Max replied.Mellisa attempted to rise off the bed, but the sharp pain between her legs made her fall back. "Arhh, I'm in pain," she cried out.Linda quickly ran to her side and helped her to sit up. "What happened to you, Mellisa?" she asked. "Should I go call the doctor?"Maxwell, who had realised what was happening, interjected. "What's the need to call the doctor? He clearly said that she must get rest. You should not move until the cold is out of your body permanently."" Yeah daddy, is absolutely right about that, " Linda said, remembering that the doctor instructed that Mellisa should rest... " Lie down and don't move okay? " Without a warning Mellisa burst into tears overwhelmed by a lot of emotions, no one has ever taken care of her like that, her aunt used to al
." Zick!!!! " Mike yelled his name." How dare you chase her out of the house, where will she go?" Mike slammed the table angrily. " You are the biggest fool in this world I ever knew, how can you let go of such a gem of a person???" " Dad, please I don't want you to lecture me about this matter, you want me to marry a poor girl just like you did, like seriously aren't you being ridiculous right now?? " Mike asked his tone full of light sarcasm, annoyance could not be mistaken on his face." If you love that old hag go and look for her and make her your wife because she is not my type and she will never be one. " " Zick!!!!! How could you say this to me? " Mike shook his head slowly in disbelief. " It's okay my son, we don't know what we have in life until we lose it, you know the meaning of my words one day but it will be too late. " Mike said, he rose off the table and left the house. " I pity you. " Riya said with tears in her eyes, with deep sadness in her heart, it was all her f
"Melissa, you'll come with us, and I won't accept no for an answer," Maxwell said sternly. "I don't want to be a burden to anyone," said Melissa. "You can go home and don't worry about me, I'll see what I can do with my life. I might as well end my life because it's not going to be good either way. Linda, let out a long sigh as she heard Mellisa talking about suicide, "Mellisa, can you stop talking about suicide? Like seriously, what will death solve? Nothing!!, so it's better not to talk about it anymore, you are coming with us and that's the end of the story. "But____'' Melissa couldn't even finish her sentence. . "You're going to come with us and the topics are not up for discussion," Maxwell said. Melissa said nothing after hearing Maxwell and Linda's request.After making sure that Melissa was comfortable in the back seat Maxwell drove away heading home. ………….."Mom, I can't stay here anymore. I have a job at the Williams mansion. Michele said since Mellisa left the house.
