Mellisa's heart pounded as she entered the kitchen, feeling like it was going to burst out of her chest. She knew that what was happening shouldn't have been happening in the first place. She wasn't ready to be in a relationship with anyone, she needed to focus more on her children and herself before thinking about getting attracted to anyone… "Whatever it is that I'm feeling, It must die before I can repeat the same mistake. Yes, he is different, but people do change and I can't trust him completely. I should stay away from him. She murmured to herself, her face burning red, thinking about the kiss they just shared.Mellisa took a few moments to calm herself down before she gathered her ingredients and began making a soup for Maxwell. After 30 minutes, she was done and left the kitchen to head to Maxwell's room. When she kicked the door open and entered, she was met with Maxwell's seething anger, so intense that he didn't even seem to notice her presence. Walking over to the bed, she
"Thank you for not misunderstanding her; you are a stranger and I know that I shouldn't have shared her personal matters with you, but you are a woman, you understand her better than I can understand," Maxwell said. "I'm not used to begging people, but please don't terminate the contract with her; she was very happy and honoured to make your dress," Maxwell said, he realised that he can do anything for Meliss. Pathy handed the phone back to Maxwell, frowning. "Why would I terminate the contract? I came here to check on Mellisa after such a terrible sex tape was released; I wanted to hear Mellisa's side of the story before the media gets to know about her being the one making my wedding dress," Pathy said. "Oh! I didn't know," Maxwell said. "Can you call her for me? I need to talk to Mellisa," Pathy said."You can take a seat," Maxwell said, gesturing to her to sit on the couch. "I will be right back. Don't talk to a woman who I know will definitely come here and feed you with lies,
Reaching the sitting room, Melissa and Maxwell found Pathy waiting for them. Pathy quickly rose from the couch when her eyes fell on the two of them. Maxwell, seeing the tension between the two, spoke up, trying to ease the situation. "Mellisa, please don't vent your anger on her. I have to go out for some work, but hopefully by the time I come back, you will be done talking." With that, Maxwell left the house, leaving Pathy and Melissa alone.Mellisa walked to the couch and sat down with Pathy following her. She nervously bit her lip, not wanting to meet Pathy's gaze. "I'm sorry for venting on you earlier," she said softly. "I was too angry to think properly. I didn't mean to be so rude." Pathy smiled in understanding. "I understand," she said. "I'm sorry for everything that happened to you. We may not be best friends, but I want to help you clear your name of these accusations. You don't have to suffer in silence. There are women out there who are suffering and I want you to make a
"Zick was a very abusive man, he had made his breakfast and dinner to beat me up every day, he insulted me in front of his girlfriend saying that I was an old hag," Mellisa said, her anger rising. "But never did I ever talk back to him, I respected him and his whole family, I did everything as a good daughter in law even when his mother turned me into a servant I said nothing but keep quiet, when Zick could not keep up with me he chased me out of his house." Jason raised his eyebrows in curiosity." No offence Ms Mellisa but do you have any proof about what you are saying?? " Before Melissa could say anything Pathy spoke up." Yes there's evidence, here phone and play it for everyone to see. "Pathy said, handing her phone to Jason. Jason took the phone and headed it to his colleague." Play the video please. " .... Meanwhile At the Nadia house. Zick was fuming with rage as he watched Melissa on the television, speaking out about his wrongdoings. "Mellisa is doing the right thing

Jason and his team were ready to depart, but not before Jason expressed his gratitude to. Pathy. "Thank you Mrs Pathy for entrusting me with this work, I'm truly honoured," he said with a smile. Pathy nodded in approval. "I knew you would handle things properly and not give Mellisa a hard time. I'll be depositing my payment in your company account.""Thank you Ma'am," Jason replied. He then turned to Mellisa and said, "Please be well, Ms Mellisa." With that, Jason and his team took their leave.Pathy turned to Melissa with a concerned expression. "Mellisa, are you okay?" she asked.Melissa sighed heavily. "I don't know," she said. "I know Zick is planning something big to get me back, and I'm really worried about my babies now."Pathy gave her a small smile. "You don't have to be scared of that monster," she said reassuringly. "He won't do anything stupid for now, at least. I'm not sure what will happen later, but you need to stay strong to face men like him."Melissa felt her stoma
Maxwell pulled away from the hug, looking at Mellisa with a questioning gaze. "You mean that you want to give me a chance to be your husband?" he asked, unable to believe his eyes and ears. The last time he had checked, Mellisa had wanted nothing to do with him. What had changed her mind so quickly? He could only wonder.Mellisa felt a thickness in her throat, signalling the onset of tears. "I've been lonely my whole life," she said, her voice trembling. "I know Michelle has been by my side, but it couldn't fill the void in my life. I never experienced the love of my mother or my father. I thought marriage would end the loneliness, but it only made it worse. I just want to experience being loved and wanted by someone, to let go of the past and move on with my life, to be happy. That's all I want." Tears streamed down her face as she finished speaking.Maxwell opened his mouth to speak, but no words came out. It felt as if his words had gotten stuck in his throat. He swallowed hard bef
