"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

"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

"What is life to you?"  Melody POVThe morning of the presentation came as fast as I expected. I woke up early to prepare for the office and by six am, I was on my way to the office. Before I left for the office, Lorena wished me luck and hope that by the end of the day, I got to stay at the end.I arrived at the office at exactly 6:30 am. When I got to the security checkpoint, they gave me a suspicious look as I came to the office to steal something. After making them understand that I came early for business, I took the elevator to the 35th floor. No one was on the floor yet and it gave me the space and time I needed to prepare for the presentation.For an hour and thirty-minute, I didn't seat and was walking around while reading out the lines for the presentation. "Letting everyone knows that with memories, all the bad memories go away." I ended the prac

  Giovanni POV I had no idea of what was going on with melody but I knew it has to do with my family especially Lorenzo. He wanted her gone and he could have done something to her which explains her attitude. "Any information on melody yet?" I reminded him of the task I've given to him weeks ago. "I'm still working on it, sir. Her identity is a mystery. The only information I could get on her was the one I submitted a few weeks back." "So no information on her yet?" I asked and he nodded. I wonder how hard it could be to find just an ordinary person's identity. Someone was behind it and whoever that person was, they didn't want me to find out who she truly is. "Sir, we are here," Dennis announced. The gigantic gate leading to my parent's estate opened wide and I quickly held my chest to stop the panic attack that hit me. It always happens whenever I come to the estate. "Argh," I

"Everything is never enough!"  Melody POV At first, I didn't return his hug but when I felt him pulling me closer I returned the hug. I let my arms encircled itself around his waist. His cologne filled my nose and I couldn't help but sniffed the fragrance."I'm sorry for realizing too late," I didn't know why he was apologizing but from what he said, he might have realized the truth."You know the truth?" I asked and he nodded. I quickly detached my arms around his waist and pushed his arm away. He groaned in pain and walked to the couch to take a seat. "Are you alright?" I asked and walked towards him. "Did I hurt you?" He shook his head. I sat down beside him and looked into his eyes. He stared back at me and smiled. I pretend to cough and looked away."Are you back to the office?""Yes. I need to tell you something."
