After running away from the dining room, Archie strides out of the exit, walking toward the path that leads to the back of the mansion.He put his hand inside his pant pocket and brings out a meat drumstick. “Awww, thank goodness I was able to slip this in my pocket before scrambling out from the dining. If not, I would have been stuck here without having anything to chew on.” He giggles, munching on the meat as soon as he takes a bite from it.“Hmm, so yummy!” He moans out in a Mouthful of meat.“No doubt, Auntie is a good cook!” he smiles, raising the meat to his face.He continues his walk to the back of the mansion. There he sees his pet cage and he falls to his knees.“Hey, buddy!” he exclaims, opening the cage and bringing out his pet.He holds the bunny in his hands and stares at it with care.“You look all fat and healthy.” he giggles as the bunny rubs his ear on his thumb.“You good?” Archie asks, even though he knew he won't be getting any answers from his pet.He runs his
“Melanie, are you okay?” Melanie moves back in shock at hearing her name. She looks down to see Mr Gordon standing up on his feet, holding the head with his palm.She takes a few steps back in shock, no she can't let him manhandle her as he did earlier.“Are you okay?” he repeated, he moves his legs towards her and Melanie keep on taking steps back until her butt hits the table.“I’m sorry, but can you stop moving closer?” she cries, unable to run away as her eyes are glued to his face. She fears he might do something bad to her if she tries to take her gaze off him.Mr Gordon closes the gap between them and pulls her to his body.“I’m sorry, Melanie.” he let out, hugging her tightly to his body.“I’m not asking you to forgive me but please stay still and listen to my heartbeat. You'll feel how sorry I am.” He cries in regret.Melanie stay still not knowing what to do.She sighs and moves her hands to his chest and pushes him off her.“I’m glad you're back to your sense. Please save
MELANIE’S P.O.V“Yes, welcome to Paradise.” Mr Gordon says to my face, jotting me out of my fantasy. I move my face sideways in total embarrassment.Did he see my cheeks turn red? Did he catch me drooling over him? Did he take advantage of my awkwardness?I groan inwardly and I see him take a step back, smiling proudly making me speechless.Woah! He's a bad person.I discreetly roll my eyes at him, and he clears his throat.“I apologise for ruining the dinner you prepared. So, hmmm, I made a portion of spaghetti with tomato sauce to apologise for the effort you put to prepared the meal.” he rush his words and I smile shyly.“Oh, yeah, thank you,” I mumbled nervously. It's like someone is in control of my tongue.I swear that's not what I wanted to say. I want to tell him to forget about the dinner and that I'm not interested in his food. But, here I am, stuttering in his front. Unable to stand my ground.“This way,” he smirks, leading me to the dining room.Don't ask me, this man i
GORDON’S P.O.VI walk inside my room, feeling mad at myself for being a dick. She's just worried about the poor boy and I'm reacting like a gull.I kick the door closed and drag my feet towards my bed. I plunge onto the bed and face-palm myself.“I hope she doesn't have the wrong idea.” I sigh and roll under the duvet.I close my eyes to sleep but I couldn't sleep, I feel restless and I know what's happening.“Today is Saturday,” I screamed and jumped off the bed like someone that is being chased.I rush to my study furniture and grab my mini jotter.I pick it up and flip through the pages.“It’s today!” I exclaimed with my hands pressed to my mouth.My eyes dilate on their own and I feel my head become heavy. I grab my head with both palms and I squeeze my eyes in pain.“Ahhhh!” I moaned in pain, panting heavily as I begin to recall the memories that I never wish to remember.Flashback“Alfred, where are we?” Selena asks as I open the door to the cabin, after looking left and
The heavy clicking of a pair of pacekeeper boots echoes through the deserted street.She suddenly halt on her track and sniff in the fragrance of someone behind her.She look to the left and see a route that leads to the town old gambling territory. She gaze at her right with the corner of her eyes without moving her head.She see that there's only one building there which is no other than the children bookstore.‘Good!’ she sigh and clutch tight at the iron rod in her hand. The chain that's attached to the rod lay violently in her hand and she tightened her grip on it.She shakes her head and proceed her walk, she take the route by her left and increase her pace as the footsteps at her back also become hastily.She scramble towards the old gambling shack and she punched on the broken glass window and she crawl in through the window.There, she stands strong on her feet, in the shabby spacious room and she hears a bang on the door. The door creep open and she smirk when she hears foot
MELANI’S P.O.VI dipped the towel inside the bowl of cold water and squeeze it gently before moving it to Mr Gordon’s face.I wipe his forehead with the towel and I watch him breathe soundly through his patted mouth that opened slightly.Earlier, after kissing me on my lips and calling out the name “Selena” I know he's not himself and I'm not mad at him.But a part of me is angry at him for not seeing me for who I am.After much struggle, he finally fall asleep with his head on my lap.I went downstairs to fetch a bowl from the kitchen and a bottle of cold water from the fridge to wipe his sweaty forehead.I couldn't sleep as different thoughts run through my mind.‘What if he wakes up tomorrow and forgets about everything that's happening now?’ I thought with a sad look plastered on my face and I couldn't help the sighs that follow.‘What if he gets angry at me again, for touching his face?’ I groan when I couldn't stop thinking.“Isn’t he the one that asks me to pat him to sle
The purring of a cat wakes Kayla from her deep sleep. She yawns and covers her mouth with the back of her hand. She rolls her eyes tiredly and stretches her figure lazily on the affluent bed that she sleeps on. “Ahh!” she winches in pain when her hand mistakenly hit the side of her face. She brings her hand up to her face and rubs the side of her face, with her thumb. Suddenly, something jumps on her and she sprang up to her two feet, slapping off whatever thing jumped on her with her left hand. She moves her hand to the side of her body, attempting to bring out a handgun, but seems surprised when she couldn't feel it. She stares at her body to see that she's clad in a white baggy nightie that swallows her body. Her mouth twisted in surprise, couldn't remember having this nightie in her collection. Standing on the floor her eyes roam around the room, then drifted her gaze to the king-size bed and her gaze later meet with a cat on the bed. “Oh, dear!” Kayla gasps and rushes ba
MELANIE’S P.O.VMy head snaps to the door the moment I hear that voice.Wait, what is he doing here? I didn't know what to say or do at the moment. I glance at Mr Gordon who also seems to be lost in his thoughts.I mean, Archie is his son, the son whom he doesn't want to have around him and also, Archie must not find him here either. Archie trusts me, even if it's a little bit, still trusts me and I can't shatter his trust in me.There comes another knock on the door and a stupid idea poop in my head. I rush to the closet and grab a hair towel.I tied it on my head and grab a bottle of water behind Mr Gordon. I splash the water on my face and I rush for the door.I can feel Mr Gordon’s eyes gored on my skin, I leave him to watch on since I have a big boy to deal with.“Hey, you okay?” I flung the door open a bit, popping my face out of the door with the towel hanging tightly on my head.“Oops, I'm sorry, I didn't know you were in the bathroom I wouldn't have disturbed.” H
