The young girl sat on the hard ground outside her Aunt's house, her small frame trembling in the cold night air. She had been sent out as a punishment for not doing her chores quickly enough, and she knew better than to disobey her Auntie's orders. She huddled in her thin blanket, feeling the chill of the night seeping into her bones. She shivered, wondering just how long her Auntie was going to make her stay out here. Her eyes flicked up to the stars twinkling in the night sky, and she made a wish that she could just go back inside and get warm. But who was she fooling that woman was a devil himself only horns were missing from her head to make her look like a real devil." Mom I miss you so much, I'm sick and tired of this life I'm living right now. I can't even say anything to my uncle because he won't believe me. Please help me to get away from here or else I Will end my life. " Melissa murmured She was grief-stricken, her heart heavy with sorrow. Her eyes are reddened by the tear
Harry shook his head in disbelief looking at his wife. " I never knew you were this cruel, I trusted you because you have a daughter. I knew you'd take care of Mellisa like your daughter Michelle. " He cleared all the lumps on his throat disheartened. " But I guess I was wrong, you only think about yourself without considering other people's feelings. It's better if Mellisa gets married and leaves this house, maybe her life will improve a lot and she would be happy," he said, shaking his head for the last time he left the house. Quincy clicked her tongue, rolling her eyes. Her veins throbbed visibly in her forehead." I'm sick and tired of this nonsense, I can't take it anymore. I will inform Miss Nidia to come here tomorrow for the marriage alliance and get rid of that foolish girl. " She went to her room. …."Melissa, why did you agree with my mother's decision to get married? You are 18 years old for God's sake. " Michelle embarked into their room, her face red in both anger and a
The most awaited day finally arrived, Quincy sternly told Mellisa to smile even though she was not happy. Mellisa sat at the dinner table with her future in-laws, her head bowed and her eyes filled with tears. She was trying her best to maintain her composure, but she could feel the overwhelming sense of dread and despair weighing heavily on her chest. Everyone around her was cheerful and happy, but she was anything but.The conversation was filled with jokes and laughter, Mellisa felt like she was in a living nightmare. She wanted to cry out and say no, that she would not be forced into this marriage, but she was too afraid to speak up. She knew that if she did, she would be disowned and shunned by her family.Mellisa forced a smile onto her face, even though she felt like her heart was breaking. She knew that the only way out was to sacrifice her own happiness, and so she did her best to appear happy and content. As the dinner came to a close, Mellisa was relieved, but she couldn't
It was a silent ride in the car. No one spoke a word as the car hummed along the highway. The only sound was the radio playing softly in the background. The atmosphere was tense as if something was hanging in the air. The passengers sat in the car in silence, each one lost in their own thoughts. No one dared to break the silence as if speaking would bring something no one was ready to face. The car continued down the road, the silence only broken by the sound of the engine.Both Laila and Riya stepped out of the car stretching after a long drive, shaking off the stiffness from being in the same position for so long. They took a deep breath of fresh air, relieved to have reached their destination. “ mh!! Finally. Riya let out a sigh of relief.” I’m too old for sitting in the car for such a long time. “ She smiled.” But it was all worth it, I guess. I’ve brought my granddaughter-in-law home. “ “ Come on mom!!! That girl does not fit in our class. “Lila stated as she roll her eyes. “
Mellisa walked out of the room with an air of uncertainty. She looked around cautiously as if she was expecting something unexpected to happen. Her steps were light and uncertain, and her eyes flickered around the room, searching for any surprise that might be waiting for her. She held her breath, unsure of what the next moment would bring. Luckily she remembered her way to the dining room, as she was walking she finally reached the table and everyone was already present. Riya's eyes lit up when she saw Mellisa. " Come on dear, have a seat next to your husband," She said, gesturing to her to sit down. " Did you sleep well last night?" Riya sighed. " Did he trouble you last night?" Mellisa pulled a chair and sat down. " Good morning grandma, I slept well last night. Thank you for asking. How about you? Was your night great?" " Greater than you can imagine, I'm so happy to have you here. I want you to feel at home, this is now your home. If anyone troubles you then don't hesitate to
Everyone left for the office except Laila who was a housewife and Zick who was forced to take a day off by his grandmother. " What spell did you cast on my grandmother, did you use any black magic on her? " Zick asked angrily. " I know a girl of your type, you are nothing but a gold digger and you pretend to be a helpless innocent girl. If my grandma falls into your trap don't expect me to do that as well. " Mellisa flashed a sad smile and continued eating her breakfast without uttering a word, she was used to these insults so there was nothing new to cry for. " Hey!! Silly girl, can't you hear that my son is talking to you? "Lila slammed the table with her hands. " I heard him, Aunt, sometimes silence is the best response that you can give to avoid unnecessary arguments," Mellisa said softly and quietly Zick watched her closely, his anger still simmering beneath the surface. "What do you mean by that?" He said, his voice low and menacing. Mellisa took a deep breath, afraid of wh
" Dad, what you did yesterday was rude," Linda said softly. You walked away without uttering a word as if we were the ones who dumped you when your business went bankrupt. We are only concerned about you, that's all but you acted like we are your enemies. " Linda could not help but blurt out, that's was her nature she could not keep quiet when she was punished for a crime she did not commit. " Yes dad, why did you let her in in the first place? " Shina raised her eyebrow in annoyance, she was very angry. " We told you that she is no longer welcome in this house, she is nothing to this family. She chooses a rich man over us and no one is going to forgive her for that. " Shina said coldly. Maxwell let out a deep sigh, he knew that this was going to happen but he did not expect his Kids to bring up this topic during breakfast." Linda and you Shina, I understand why you are angry," Maxwell said softly. "I shouldn't have reacted that way, it was wrong of me. Yes, I was upset when your mo
Mellisa wiped her tears and took a deep breath, trying to stay strong and calm. She put on a brave face and decided to move forward despite her sadness. and pulled away from the hug, forcing a smile as she spoke. "Granny, how are you today." She asked, trying as much as possible to sound normal. Riya knew everything but said nothing. " I'm good dear," She smiled sadly. "Do you need anything, or do you want to go shopping? Anything you want??" Riya asked. Trying to reduce her guilty coincidence. "Don't worry grandma, I don't need anything." Melissa said, "I'm sure it is time for breakfast, let's go and have breakfast, you must be hungry by now ." Mellisa said, hiding her worries and trying not to think about what happened. She smiled and tried to focus on the present moment and not think about the past. She knew that bad luck and she were best friends so she was determined to accept that fact and move on in life with her pain and sorrow. She took a deep breath and knew that she could
