~MELISSA~

That afternoon, I was going through the submitted files on my laptop when Patricia’s call came in unexpectedly.

I reached for my phone, my brows curving as I wondered what she wanted from me this time.

“Hello?”

“Melissa!” she screamed like she could see me from a distance.

“Patricia? What’s wrong?”

“I’ve been trying to reach Desmond, but I don’t know, I can’t.”

She sounded like she was crying, her breath shaky and loud through the speaker.

“What’s the matter?” I got up immediately, my

    ~DESMOND~"Desmond!" Adele called again waving her hands in the air.Once our eyes met, she clutched her bag and started running towards the elevator, her scarf dropping off her head as she did."It must be really urgent," Richard murmured and I carved my hands over my mouth."I'm coming down to meet you, Adele!" I screamed down and we both hurried towards the escalator. I had a bad feeling about this.As we approached, I could see the urgency in Adele's posture. Her hand gripping the edge of her wide skirt while the other held her bag, her scarf now dropping down her shoulder as we got close."What is it, Adele? What are you doing here?" I asked. According to Dylan, they should've been on the flight back to Chicago by now.She hurried up to me and sighed. "Desmond, Melissa... She.."Immediately, she called her name, my brows knit up and I drew closer."What happened to her? Tell me! Talk, Adele!" I screamed and Richard held me back."Come on, Desmond let her speak!" He went forward

    ~DESMOND~Something didn't feel right at all about Melissa's sudden decision to go into solitude.I knew the whole news was difficult for her to take in but going ghost like that... I knew it was like her to suddenly decide out of the blue to get a thing but something just didn't feel normal about her tone. Despite how calm it was when we spoke."Dad, why is mummy not back?" Caleb asked as he curled up beside me on the couch."Mummy needs some quiet time alone.""To do what?""To clear her head," I murmured, robbing his hair."When would she be back?""Tomorrow.""No wonder she didn't want me to come with her," He murmured and I sighed. Perhaps, she really was safe. Yet, something in my chest wouldn’t settle.“I miss her,” he said.“I miss her too…” and my mind wandered off.I knew places like that existed -short-term therapy homes. Quiet facilities where patients were monitored in the open nature, phones restricted, outside contact limited. Manhattan had dozens of them. So logicall

    ~MELISSA~I could still feel my heart beating faster and faster. Even my insides were tearing apart, I could feel it already. And on top of that, I felt stupid."So... You see you're not the only one who's smart.""If you want to kill me, Raymond. Just do it already?""Ooh," he bursted into a thinned eerie laughter. "Melissa begging me to end her life? What's the matter? Suddenly realized that life wasn't worth living after all?" He bowed down till his face met mine. "Have you finally realized that your precious Desmond wasted his time giving you a second life?"That was all that triggered it for me. I didn't even know the time that I threw my palm across his face, giving him a sounding slap.He pulled back at once and I could tell he was trying hard not to run the pain over his cheek."You bitch!" He cursed and before I could process his fist flying towards me, I felt a sharp blow over my shoulder as his arm struck me so hard that I found myself thrown towards the logs.I landed on i

    ~MELISSA~My eyes pulled open to the sound of the metal door creaking open. I stepped down the sofa where I had curled myself up all night reading Isabella's diary with the faint yellow light from the electric bulb above."Good morning!" Raymond said as he walked in holding two plastic bags in hand. So it's morning already.Raymond stood in front of me, his hands in his pocket. "Your eyes got bigger. Did you not sleep at all?""Would you be able to sleep if you were the one here?""I would!" He growled. “What's that you're reading?” He pointed to the book in my hands. “Where did you get it?”“That's my husband's ex-wife’s diary,” I replied bluntly and his face squeezed in the way I had expected.“Melissa, that's weird,” he shrugged. “She's dead.”“Oh! Oh! Yeah, I remember now,” he dropped one of the white bags in front of me. Breakfast, I assumed."I'm getting really cold here, Raymond," I murmured."Eat!" He ordered as he turned around and placed the second bag in a corner. That s

    ~MELISSA~I kept driving, stopping at red lights, taking turns but I was just doing it all out of muscle memory and knowledge of the road leading to home. "Where are we going?" I asked Raymond for the first time and almost immediately, he yelled."Take the left route!"I obeyed without question. Apparently, he still had his eyes on the road all along. Somehow I wasn't scared of him. He was clearly abducting me but I tried to remain calm. At least, till I was able to ring an alarm or be sure of what he wanted to do with me.My eyes blinked shut for a second and I felt like crying as I took the turn opposite the road to my house."Don't try to play smart, Melissa, for your own good at least!""Where are you taking me?" I cried out."Just drive," He growled and took in a sharp breath."What do you want, Raymond? Just tell me!""If I have to shut you up myself, Melissa, you wouldn't like it at all!" I cursed underneath my breath and continued driving to his instruction until we reached

    ~MELISSA~"No, Melissa!" Desmond insisted, getting up on his feet.My head was still rolling from the conversation I had with Lily even though it had been hours."I have to, Desmond! I have to go and meet my mum for clarifications. Or at least, the woman I thought was my mother!""I'm not letting you travel back there!""It won't even take me an hour by road, Des," I spread out my palm but he looked like his mind was made up."I'm not talking about the distance! You don't need to go there in your condition!" He draws close, his hands resting on the square stool before me. "What if this is all some kind of trap? What if Lily was just lying about this? What if she's doing this with Raymond to lure you back to him where he could hurt you?"He was right. What if this was all a plot by Raymond and Lily to avenge my exposition at the dinner?What if Lily was really lying and that woman is still my mother?I gulped and my brows curved to meet each other. But she hadn't looked like she was l
