Few years later...
She went to a grocery store with her friend Rose.
Mrs Clifford who is presently her mother had sent her to get few groceries for the house.
"We need spinach too..." Melanie said pointing to the spot where spinach was, Rose helped her pick them into their basket.
"Hello..." a male smooth tone said from behind.
Melanie turned around looking a little suprised.
She couldn't remember any man ever wanting to talk to her especially when she was in school or in her neighborhood because of her sickness, she keeps forgetting and that is something most of them could not deal with.
Melanie couldn't have or keep a relationship and it was obvious, she was lucky having people like Rose, the maids and Mrs Clifford and his wife to cater for her.
As far as Melanie was concerned, Mr Clifford and his wife were her biological parents.
She looked up at his face, he was handsome and looked well dressed in his jeans and shirt
Few hours later...Melanie and Rose were at home up in Melanie's room when her phone rang.She smiled on seeing who the caller was, she jumped down from her bed "he called Rose, he called.""Who called?" Rose asked."Charles, the guy we met at the grocery store" Melanie explained."Oh...he really did call, so what are you going to do now? Are you gonna pick it?" Rose asked.The phone was still ringing."Of course I am picking the damn call" she said with alot of excitement moving away from Rose.Rose supported her head with a pillow, she watched answer the call, afterwards she typed a message on her phone."I really don't like this, why does all the handsome men come to her and not me?" Rose thought feeling emotionally broken.Later in the evening...Rose got home and called Charles asking if they could hangout.Charles was suprised that she called and wondered how she got his number."M
Melanie, her husband and children had come to the beach few months after their marriage to have a good time.The kids were busy building castles in the sand while Melanie wandered down closer to the beach, the water kept sweeping tro and fro under her feet, she smiled at the feeling."Diana.." she heard a voice call from behind.Of course she could recall ever bearing the name Diana so she snubbed who ever it was."Diana..." the person called again forcefully turning her around.Melanie was shocked glaring at the face of the man standing behind her."After all these years I finally found you, how could you do this to me? How could you do this to us?" Joshua cried out looking shocked.Melanie was confused.She took a quick glance around wondering if their was anyone else around her who the young man was referring to.Joshua had come down to the beach just like he does sometimes, though they were careful of the humans he s
"What?" Charles looked shocked, he turned to Melanie "what is he talking about?""Charles I swear I don't know this man, I don't know what he is talking about" she cried out."But he is insisting that he is your husband, were you married before?" Charles looked confused."Charles I was never married before, this man is just a liar, maybe he is a serial killer" Melanie said in tears."What did you just call me Diana? A serial killer? I chose to marry you amongst other women, I made you my queen but what did I get in return? Two months after our wedding, you eloped with this fool and even had kids with him, this minute you are going back home with me!' Joshua yelled in anger pulling Melanie even harder who let out a louder cry."You are in sane mister and you are letting go of my wife this minute!" Charles pulled out his phone and dialed the police number.Joshua knew he would be in big trouble if the police apprehend him, he fled at onc
Emma served Joshua his lunch the next day, it felt so impossible for him to sleep and eat after the last time he set his eyes on Diana and she denied ever knowing who he was."I really can't believe that she said that in front of everyone, mother my wife called me a lise in front of everyone, she said she didn't know me and the stupid human almost got arrested" he mumbled.Emma sighed while dropping the veggies on the wooden dunning table with just four chairs.She squat beside Joshua supporting her head with her hand while she listened to him talk about the same thing over and over again.It had been like that all night long and Emma was sick of seeing him that way."Joshua... Joshua enough" she said spreading her hands apart.He gasped "mother, is that all you have to say now? Do you know how it feels for your mate to run away two months after your wedding
Carmella walked up to her though she was completely naked.Melanie didn't see her at first, she was singing a song though in an indistinct tone."Oh my God! What the heck?" She exclaimed on seeing Carmella who placed her hands on her lips.Please don't scream..." Carmella pleaded, she was scared that Diana might expose her and she might be in big trouble for attempted murder of her own kind."Don't scream? What do you expect when I see a naked woman standing in front of me?" Melanie cried out.Joshua was watching while hiding in the woods.Carmella took a glance at the woods.Melanie grabbed one of her dress which looked dry "can you at least put this on."Carmella gasped, she was shocked that Diana was still nice to her despite what she did to her.She took the dress from her and put it on, she felt very nervous."Listen Diana I am very sorry..." she tried to say.Melanie gaped "Diana? Sorry miss I d
Present day...Owls hooted, the moon rose making it's self visible in the dark sky.There was a wooden beach chair outside, Joshua lay on it staring nonstop at the stars while he thought about his best moments with Diana.Terry his right hand man sat close to the fire burning close by as he added more woods to it to keep it burning, they did this to keep themselves warm and scare away snakes.It has been months since Joshua attacked and killed Melanie's son and even approached her."Why? Why does she keep denying knowing me? Besides she doesn't look happy with that human yet she stays with him, her face is always covered with wounds and bruises" he mumbled.Terry stood up and walked into thehoyse, he came back with a wooden plate containing fruits."Would you have some?" He asked bringing Joshua out of his thoughts.Joshua sat up "thank you" He dipped his hand into the plate and took and apple munching slowly on it."You
Emma have been listening to their conversation and went straight to Joshua's room to wait for him.Joshua walked into his room, he gasped... he wasn't expecting to see his mother sitting on his bed."Mother, what are you doing here?" He looked baffled.She stood up "it's good that you are here, what was that you were telling Terry?"He arched his brow "you were eavesdropping to our conversation? Why would you do that mother?""Spare me that sermon Joshua, you are my son and I have the right to pay attention to whatsoever conversation I dim fit, why would you support Terry's proposal to Carmella?" She asked.She shrugged looking even more confused "why wouldn't I support it? He loves Carmella so....""So what?" His mother cutted in harshly."Your father was never this foolish Joshua, why are you this way?" She cried out."Mother!" He called out in caution."Shut up and listen to me! Why would you
A yellow cab stopped infront of Melanie's house. She looked stressed with bruises showing its ugly bleeding selves at various parts of her face. Her hands were a little shaky since she have been quiet under alot of stress lately especially from the deadly beatings and bully she got from her husband. Her legs still hurted badly, the injury haven't gone yet, though she barely remembers how she got it. She dragged her feet heading for the door way. Melanie knocked softly on the door waiting patiently for the door to be opened. After a while she dragged the door handle pulling the door open, she scoffed. She walked into the house and met Brenda, her five years old daughter sitting at a corner downstairs holding her doll to her chest while shivering nonstop. She have been out of the house for a couple of hours, of course it was weekend and she had gone to get groceries after Charles had done his daily routine by reminding he
