~MELISSA~

"You look, great ma belle." He murmured in that unmistakable growly voice of his.

As I turned around, the wind hit my hair, splashing it all over my face.

I pulled the strands back into place to have a clear view of Richard walking into the deck with a glass in hand, his other hand in his pocket.

"You even wore a suit. Impressive!"

"I thought it was a formal party as you said,” he stopped next to me.

"No, that's not what I said," I turned back to the calm ocean before us, gripping the railing again as the cool wind kissed every part of my skin.

"You don't look bad yourself," he said leaning on the railing beside me with his head pushed forward as he sized me with his eyes. I just sip from my glass like I didn't know he was doing that. "I can see how much effort you put into your look just because I'll be here."

"I was already here before you decided to come, remember? I had already worn this dress, did my make-up before you gloriously called to ask if we could go for anothe

    ~MELISSA~I watched Patricia's face break into several cracks, her lip dropping low. I had never seen that number of wrinkles appear in her face all in one time ever before."What... did you say?" She finally found her voice, drawing a little bit away from us.I let out a sigh and flew my chin up. "I do not want my company to partner with Raymond's."There was a short stiff silence that followed, then I heard Raymond sniffle out a low polite chuckle. "Please, it's not a proble–"But Patricia raised a hand and he swallowed his words like a dog. She finished filling her glass and pulled it off the stool before walking back towards the center without looking up."YOUR company?" She asked, giving her drink a slow swirling shake. She sighed as if she suddenly held back what she had wanted to say for some reason."And might I ask what reasons there are for you to not want to accept this offer?""Partnership deals aren't what I need for my scheme currently. Even if I should consider it,

    ~MELISSA~“Is Desmond here to save you now?” he growled as I struggled to free myself from him. But the more I struggled, the tighter he squeezed my arm, making it harder to get him off.“Let go of me, asshole!”“Hm… I’ve never imagined a view of you from this angle. " He tilted his head to the side. “ It’s priceless!”“Ugh!” I threw my hand toward him, but he caught my wrist only a few inches away from his cheek.I regretted it immediately. I howled as he nailed the only free hand I had left to the wall, having me completely stiffened.“I swear to God, Richard, I’m going to—”“You still can’t watch your mouth, can you?” he snapped. “I’ve ignored and endured a lot of your nuisance for a long time, Melissa, and it’s only because somehow, you’ve caught my eye…” His breath fanned my cheek, and I turned my face away from him, my frown growing angrier, my chest beating faster with fright.“Your blind eyes!” I insisted, and he scoffed in response.“Of course I knew you'd come with a good co

    ~MELISSA~“Mummy, when’s Dad gonna be back?”“I don’t know,” I murmured without looking away from the laptop, my fingers sliding continuously over the keys.“Why don’t you know?”I looked down at him, unsure what to tell him -apart from 'leave me the hell alone', which I obviously couldn’t say.I began to wonder if this is what it felt like for those women, when their husbands start sleeping around and they're left to feed out excuses to their children.I shook my head and started typing.Just then, I thought I heard Desmond’s voice, and seconds later he came pushing through the dining room curtains.“Dad!” Caleb screamed and rushed to him while I returned my attention to my screen, deliberately nonchalant.“I got you a little fish pet,” Desmond said. “Wanna go see it downstairs?”“Of course!” Caleb’s excitement almost deafened me before he ran off."Don't you think he's too small to handle a fish pet?" I asked without looking off my computer."That's why he got a nanny!"My hand rema

    ~DESMOND~I felt like my head was about to split open.I had to hold it together with one hand as I rose off my back.My stomach churned violently, the sour taste in my mouth making me gag as I squeezed my eyes shut. I was quick to fight it back. I groaned, dropped back to the bed, then rolled to my side, clutching my head again, only to pause when my hand brushed against the unfamiliar print pattern of the sheets.I forced myself upright, every movement sending a sharp pulse of pain through my skull. I looked down at the thick brown sheets and slowly took in my surroundings, catching a faint citrus scent in the air. A scent that was familiar. Yes! It's a scent that always followed Claudia.My chest tightened and my eyes squinted.Fragments of last night slipped back into my head - our glasses clinking, the laughter, my own voice sounding louder than it should have, the burn of alcohol sliding down my throat. Regret followed immediately.“Claudia…” I muttered.My voice was low and

    ~DESMOND~“All right, good night,” Claudia announced from the door she was still holding open, but my eyes were down on the pen I was spinning in my hand, my mind far in thought.“Good night,” she said again.I looked up.“A’ight.” Nothing more.I heard the sound of the door closing but not with Claudia behind it.I glanced up to find her still standing there, upright, hugging her folio to her chest.“You’re not going home yet?” she asked.“Nope!”“You stay late at work a lot these days.”“Maybe I’m just tired.”“Tired?” She chuckled. “Tired of home. I wish you’d grant me more time to get tired.”Because I didn’t want to be impolite, I forced a smile.“Are you okay?” she asked. “You were a bit quiet all through today.”Plus, I also spent full working hours in the office without actually doing anything much, or my usual two to three hours.“Yeah, I’m okay.” I stood up, grabbing my keys. “You know what? I think I should get myself out of here. I’m going out to drink. I’ll drop you home

    ~MELISSA~I turned quickly and locked the door, as if I were scared someone else might walk in and find me crying. Because what would be my reason when they asked?I slid my back slowly down the door until I met the floor. I buried my face into the little space between my knees to muffle the sound of my sobs.Why did I feel this way? That, I couldn’t understand. I didn’t even understand myself anymore.Maybe I hated that I had to keep hurting Desmond each time he tried to care for me.That’s all he’s really ever done, right?He claimed the lies and secrets were to help me too. But did they really matter?Or maybe I was most scared of the fact that Desmond had been able to reach that part of my heart that had hardened -and softened a little part of it.That was why I felt this way. That was why sometimes my heart skipped at his care, his smile, his kindness, his pain.But I knew myself, and I knew that I wasn’t ready to love. I wasn’t sane enough to. I wasn’t brave enough yet to.And w
