Omniscient's Point of View

Alfred stared back at her, his face was just as blank so that Melody couldn't even guess what was on his mind. She knew what was on hers. It was betrayal and the sore taste of anger and pain towards him.

She had so many words on the tip of her tongue, all the things she wanted to tell him that she couldn't. She kept silent. When it looked like he wasn't going to say anything, she turned around to leave.

His voice stopped her in her tracks. “You know I didn't want to do that. All you had to do was cooperate with me, I would have let everything go" his voice was firm, like the old mentor she knew.

Melody slowly turned around, closing her hands into fists as a way to rein her anger in. Her jaw clenched tightly, “You didn't have to do that. Or do they know about you? Are they going to swing to your tunes?" She knowingly mocked him.

It was then she saw the slightest hinto of emotion on his face - anger. Her eyes traced the veins on his head due to how hard he had

  • The Criminal I Crave   A CONNECTION

    Melody's POVZain had a smile on his face as he turned the computer back to him and started to search for something. “Sure, there is. Let me search for him, it might take me a minute" he said in an apologetic voice.It took him ten minutes which in the grand scheme wasn't a long time so I didn't let it bother me. When he finally did, he showed it to me and my brows furrowed now. “What is this?" I asked.He made a noise in his throat, “Whoever paid, paid anonymously. They didn't give an account name or number, they simply transferred the money into the account with a note that specified that it was for King" he explained it to me.I felt my frustration grow. Whoever had done this, had known what he was doing. He had played a smart and long game. I felt annoyance grow in my guts, that and anger. I would make sure King had regrets when he was caught.But instead of taking my frustration out on Zain, I simply smiled at him. “Thank you so much for your assistance today and don't forget" I

  • The Criminal I Crave   BUMPS

    Melody's POVFor about two hours, I sat on my work chair trying to work something out. There had been no recent leads on the case, other than the video of course. I hadn't been able to determine who the men were and what had been inside the case.If I had found out something important, only then could he be charged. That was what I desperately wanted. Or would it mean that it would signal the government to come in again? Everything wasn't so clear anymore.I was reading through his charge sheet again, trying to spot an end that I hadn't taken when I saw it. I wasn't sure how many times I had missed it and why that even happened but it was there.He had been admitted into the hospital just after rehab a few weeks ago which meant there had to be records there. There was no address for him - a real one at least. Maybe he had trusted the hospital this one time?But then there was something else that ticked me off. It was the amount that the bills would cost. He had gone in for a gunshot w

  • The Criminal I Crave   TIP TWO

    Melody's POVInstead of rejecting his advances, I smiled back, “Well, they say wine makes everything better doesn't it? You don't look so bad either yourself" I said instead, watching as his smile widened and enjoying the sight of it.After that, dinner went on smoothly - it lasted an hour longer with Zain and I learning a lot about each other. I learned that he was a very busy doctor, he only had weekends for free and that was on certain hours.Although I wanted to ask him how he coped with a partner and all that, I decided not to. It wasn't any of my business and I knew that aside from Antonio, there wasn't going to be anything serious from me.By the time the evening came to an end, I was a little buzzed and tipsy. It was clear in the way I tipped my head and how much I laughed at jokes that weren't even funny. My head swam with so many thoughts.It was Jasper that took my waist and held me, leading me to the entrance while Zain stood behind both of us, holding my purse for me. Bot

  • The Criminal I Crave   BENT OVER

    Melody's POVAt first there was no reaction from him. He stared at me coldly, his eyes blank before sudden rage flew into it. It was obvious when his eyes hardened and he leaned closer to me, “Until I say you're not mine anymore. You are"I opened my mouth to protest but he lay a thick finger on it, stopping me from talking. “And I haven't. Whoever the fuck is outside, you're going to reject him, I don't care how you do it. Am I clear?" His voice was hard and sure.Still, I couldn't fold in quickly but he didn't even give me any chance. His hands held my wrists as he spun me around against the counter and pushed me on it, bending me over the sink."You're going to do as I fucking say” he growled and lifted my gown up, my ass cheeks exposed for the cool air. I opened my mouth to ask him what he was doing but before I could, his hands had landed on them, spanking me.I let out a groan of pain as the sting landed on me, the pain wasn't enormous but it wasn't sweet either, not at first an

  • The Criminal I Crave   LET’S START AFRESH

    Melody's POV It surprised me when Zain came to my side of the table, pulling the chair out for me to sit down before he took his seat opposite me. Jasper sat down in the chair beside me and that was how dinner began. As the waiters made their way towards us, I couldn't help but feel eyes on me. Trying to be slick with it, I looked around the room to see if I would spot anyone but then I didn't and I shook the thoughts off. Maybe it was all in my head. My attention came back to the table as the waiters handed each of us a menu. From even just the menu, the way the paper felt so soft and strong at the same time - smoothness of it, I knew this restaurant was expensive. Jasper knew how I felt about too expensive things and he leaned over to whisper in my ear after reading my expression, “Come on. Don't hesitate. I'm not paying the entire bill, the owner is a close friend" When I turned to meet his eyes, they were down on the menu again and there wasn't any time to see if he was lying

  • The Criminal I Crave   NEW MAN

    Melody's POVJust as he had asked of me, not like I had much of a choice, I was ready in thirty minutes - even less than and was waiting for his driver on my sofa. My eyes were on my phone as I replayed the video Tony had helped me with.The number he had given to me was saved and I was contacting this officer as soon as tomorrow came, no matter what happened. Somehow, Jasper's driver wasn't there at the exact time which was rare.I was still waiting when I heard footsteps coming from behind me on the staircase. This time, I didn't look around in alarm or fear. There was only one man in the house that I knew, Antonio.He came in front of me a few moments later, brows raised and questions written all over his face. He probably didn't know what he was looking at since I had never dressed as nicely as I had today.On me, I had worn a red dinner gown, it just reached past my thighs, it revealed a great part of it - enough to stimulate your imagination. His eyes darkened as he looked over
