Melanie’s P.O.VI gather enough courage and stand on my feet. My hands are a little shaking from what I heard but I encourage myself by clenching my fist on both sides.I don't have any relationship with Mr Gordon so I shouldn't let any of these get to me.The relationship that his family thinks we have is nothing but an act. If he has his reasons for starting it, so I'm going to stop at nothing until I help him get what he wanted.He's not as evil as they claimed. After seeing the frightened side of him last night, I realised that he also has an inner wound that he's nursing which seems like no one knows about it.I rest my back on the counter and I sigh as I'm already confused about what I should do. I'm mentally exhausted and I don't know what to think at the moment.For the first time in five years, my brain went blank. Everything in my head seems like it has been deserted, I don't feel anything in there which makes me wonder if I'm doing the right thing by getting myself involved

Melanie glance at her room door, peeking out from her hidden place to know when Archie will be out of her room.She hides quietly behind the rail, with her eyes wide open. Watching out for the little boy to exit her room.Just then, there comes the sound of the opening door. She heaves a sigh of relief when she sees Archie working out of the room, grinning widely. She scoffs dumbly at him, and without making a sound she steps out of her hiding.“Oh, Lord! Thank you.” She puffs out air, does a cross sign then proceeds to walk back to her room.“I’m tired of them.”She stares into space, “Everyone of the Gordos.” She groans, dragging her feet towards her bed.She takes her to sit at the edge of her bed and picks up her phone when her eyes imprecisely land on the poor phone, beside the nightstand lamp.She decides to check her social media handle since she doesn't have anything to do at the moment. Logging into her insta account, notification starts flooding her phone which makes her wan

Melanie looks from one lady to another. Her face beams with a beautiful smile.“Please come in!” She opens the door wider for them to enter.She closes the gate behind them, “Please follow me.” She says gently, leading the way to the living room, as the ladies trail quietly behind her. Only the sounds of their shoes hitting the ground could be heard.Melanie stands in the middle of the circled settee. She stretches out her hand forward, “Have your seat, please.” she invited them to sit when she sees that no one is making a move to sit down.They nod, as they sink onto the couches.Melanie kneads her palms together, feeling nervous around them “So, what are those?” She slightly raises her brows and the ladies smile sweetly at her.“These are the dresses Mr Gordon mandated us to deliver to you, ma'am.” The same lady that spoke at the door early, utter. Melanie nods shyly and stands up to take the boxes.“I will have to take these inside. You…”“Elena!” The lady smiles at her name.“So,

Melanie drags her feet outside the house. She absent-mindedly bows to the maids that escort her outside and they stare at her in shock.Looking around for the driver that brought her early, she couldn't see him anywhere and she let out an audible sigh.Melanie clutches tight at her purse as she makes her way to the parking lot. There, she meets him.She meets her boss leaning on the car with his eyes closed. He looked stressed and Melanie felt water drop from her eyes.The look on his tired face shows that he needs someone to rely on.Melanie moves closer to him, she stretches out her hand and touches his hair. The movement of her hand on his hair wakes him up. He stares at her, wondering why she's crying.He releases his back from the car and stands straight in front of her.“Are you okay?” He asks in concern.Melanie shakes her head negatively. “I’m not fine,” She pants, throwing herself at him. “I’m not okay,” she mumbles, sniffing his sweet smell.Mr Gordon seems startled by her a

Mr Gordon drives inside the garage. He pulls out the key from the ignition and steps down from the car.“Don’t get down yet, wait for me to open the door for you.” He warns.“Welcome back home, Dear friend.” Mr Gordon grins as he walks over to the passenger side of the car and opens the door for Melanie.“It’s nice to be back to the mansion of trouble. How nice to be back here again.” She smiles, tapping Mr Gordon's grip on her hand.“What trouble are you talking about? Did we trouble you in any way?” He asks, not believing he has been troubling her all along.“Ahh, Ahh! At all, you didn't trouble me. I'm just saying, you know.” Melanie laughs weirdly and they both walk inside the living room, hand in hand.They halt in their tracks seeing Archie in the living room with his gaze fixed on their intertwined hands. They both pull out their hands which makes Archie roll his eyes at them.“You know I don't have any problems with that,” He scoffs letting his earphones slide down to his neck
