"Tell me something interesting about you, young lady." President Desmond said to Mel as they took a stroll.
It was hard to make Bryce agree to this, but Mel assured him that she would be fine.
The man was silent during their exchange.
Mel decided to answer honestly.
"My baby." She said.
The man was taken aback by her response.
He stopped walking and Mel did the same.

"Let them out." Chairman Charles said to his wife.He was shocked to hear that the girls were arrested on the command of their mother.He knew she doesn't joke with her children, so it surprised him to know this.And also, the air around his wife has changed.If she hadn't passed teenagehood already, this type of change is what one would call maturity.She looked emotionless, despite all he's saying.
A few days passed and Mel was now prepared to meet the face she hasn't seen in a very very long time.She never thought she'd see him again after all that happened, but things have changed and she believed she could.She was inside Bryce's office room, working on a few documents, but she couldn't process what was written on them.Bryce had insisted that she have a nap while waiting but she said she's not feeling sleepy and would just do some paperwork.Thank God she brought them along in her bag.
To say Alex was shocked would be an understatement.He never would have believed he could set his eyes on her again.He nearly felt hope after he had Collins with him. He would at times look at the boy and dream of a day Mel would be back.He knew that wouldn't be possible, but those thoughts just came on their own at those moments.She was just as beautiful as before, maybe more mature now.Her eyes now carried pain, which he's guilty of.
The more his story makes sense, the more Bryce felt more and more scared."You were at a gun point that day and I couldn't think of anything other than protecting you, so I agree to take the phone call." Alex explained and Mel recalled that she was excited to get him off her back to secretly buy her pregnancy test kit that day and didn't wonder who the person that approached them was."I could see the red dot positioned at your back and I know how the man got when he was at the brink of losing itMel, I knew it would cost him nothing to ask his men to shoot you at that instant.
"Where are you taking him?" Chairman Charles asked.Well, he was at home because of her wife's devastated condition and the fear that she might hurt her own kids out of annoyance, because the woman still refused to calm down.He was called by Alex's assistant that Alex went to Bryce's office, and came out looking very restless as if he couldn't wait to do something.The man, even though was scared, have expected this day to come.But sadly, he couldn't bring himself to say so many bad words against Mel like before.
Alex wanted to talk, but Mel beat him to it, still clutching onto her baby like he might disappear if she held her any lighter."Alex, I know you're not entirely at fault, but don't act like the villain here isn't your father.I'm the only victim here, because you can never imagine what I went through, so respect this space I wanted.I said I will call and I will." Mel said and turned around, walking towards the car she brought."Mama." She heard her baby called and smiled softly.
"Bryce, please it's enough." Kyle pleaded with Bryce who was now on his 8th bottle of alcohol.His friend seem to be feeling miserable, because no matter how much he tried to console him, he just wouldn't stop drinking.They are inside a bar parlor. A private one to be precise and server keeps coming in and going out, because more drink are being delivered.Now, Bryce is on his 12th bottle.Gosh! Kyle couldn't even recalled the last time he saw Bryce drink.Even when he
Mel didn't ponder much on her friend's question, before shaking her head."No. I don't deserve him, Amy. It's not all feeling one should act upon and this is one of those." Mel explained.Amy rolled her eyes at that."What are you worried about? He likes you, and you like him. He's a great guy and he cares for you so much that I want to shove you to him by force if possible, but feelings actually exist between you two and you're acting this way." Amy said, scolding her."I know what I'm saying Amy. Like I mentioned before, he told me why he's helping me.
