~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Melody POV
When I entered his office, I stood at the entrance with my head bow. I couldn't look at His face because if I did, I would be forced to ask him about his head.
"You called for me sir," I announced my presence.
"Setup a board meeting right now," he ordered without looking up. " I hope you are prepared because you will be presenting your new proposal for the project."
"What?"
"Did I stutter melody?" He question.
"I am not fully prepared for this sir," I disagreed. "It's too soon."
"You don't have a say in this. This is my company and you work there." He reminded me.
"I believe I have a say, sir," I replied and began to demonstrate with my hands. "This is not a little project sir a

They knew each other from somewhere that why they were acting like a bunch of kids."You know her from somewhere don't you?" I asked my brother whose eyes were fixed at the entrance where melody just walked through."Maybe," he replied with a smirk on his face.Lorenzo wasn't the one to
"Life isn't rosy as it seems." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Melody POVWaking up to another beautiful which is Saturday. It means no job, no stress from my boss. I stretched my whole body and came down for the bed. I was enjoying the morning sun that shone brightly into the room when a cloth met with my forehead."Stop lazing around and get up," Lorena said to me.I removed the clothes from my forehead and yawned. "I'm not lazing around. I just woke up and I have some incredible news." I announced happily."What do you have to say?"I looked around and didn't see a certain someone."Where is Hope?""Oh, she downstairs with the receptionist's daughter," Lorena replied."Alright then. What I have to say is concerning our accommodation?""Are you afraid mad
"In the race of life, you should never lose your true self." ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Melody POV After the meeting with the seller whose name I found out to be Daphne. I told her I was going to get the money at the end of the week. Lorena almost loses her voice when she found out the amount we will be paying per month. "It's a lovely house. For new tenants like you, it is $1000 per month." Daphne had told us. "$1000!" Lorena yelled. "That's is $12,000 per annum. Are you crazy?" She shouted at the woman. "I told you before we came here that the house is not for people like you." Daphne retorted. "People like us. I know we don't have money but that $1000 per month is a waste of money." "Then take the other house. It's for your type.
"There comes a time when you wished for something and it never happened. "~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Giovanni POV Before I left home for the birthday party. I had an odd feeling that something was bound to happen.Something bad. Throughout the drive towards the motel where Melody was staying, I continue to had the feeling that this party was going to result in something really bad. Ever since the fire incident five years ago, I have learned to be prepared in case I am been attacked again.When the car stopped at the front of the motel, I called Melody to let her know that I was waiting for her. I had no idea why she was staying in a motel. The place was unsafe for her and if she wanted nice accommodation, she could have asked me and I would have gladly help.While waiting for her, I told Dennis to be vigilant during the
"I'm done!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Melody POVI knew coming to the Aderemi's mansion was all wrong. I should have just turned away and rejected his offer when he asked that I accompany him but I didn'tWhy?Sitting together with the people that hated each other takes more courage than I thought. I had to make sure I didn't have direct eye contact with any of them. I could feel Lorenza piercing green eyes on me but still, I didn't raise my head."Welcome everyone to this family gathering. I am happy that we are all here together again as a family." Marissa announced happily.No one of them responded. It was as if they were all forced to come to the party. No one wanted this. They were all just pretending."I think you made a mistake in that family aspect Lorenza." The man I found o
"Is it that everyone dies alone? But I don't wanna be aloneMelody POVThe night soon end and morning came. It was another Monday morning which means work. After Giovanni dropped me at the front of the motel, he left without a word. When I got to my room, I sat on the ground in one corner of the room and burst into tears. I had no idea that Giovanni was suffering more than I was. I was quick to judge him. I didn't even know how he survived the gunshot and fire that night. I just cared about my pains.Selfish. I didn't know how but I had fallen asleep on the cold ground with a blanket around me. I knew it was Lorena. She might have seen me crying. I waited for her to ask me about the party but she didn't. Even when I was leaving for work, she just waved at me and wished me luck.Weird. On getting to the office, I fou
"When there is hope, there is life." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Melody POVI didn’t know how to go about the rest of the day but I was glad when it ended and I got to go home. Throughout the day, I noticed Giovanni staring at me countless times.It was a suspicious look.I knew I was selfish to care about myself but I didn’t deserve the confrontations I got from Lorenzo. His words hurt me and I wanted to run to Giovanni and cried in his arms but I couldn’t. I didn’t know what to say to him. When the day finally came to an end, I informed Giovanni I was leaving but he didn’t acknowledge my presence.He wanted nothing to do with me. I left the office with a heavy heart and when I got to the motel, Lorena seemed to notice my mood. She didn’t ask me anything but let me cr
"Have you ever wished for something and it never happens?" •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••Melody's POVAfter the incident that happened in the morning, I make sure I kept my distance from the Aderemi brothers. I didn’t bother entering after he gave a straight order that I should cancel all his meetings. The transparent glass on his door that I do use to spy on him was shut and I couldn’t see any of his frustrating movement.When Giovanni pushed me, I hit his desk and it left a nasty bruise on my left side. I got hit because I didn’t know how to mind my business.“I think I deserved it." I tho
