For a few days now, Melissa had been mentally preparing herself on how to break the news about her past relationship with Alex to Kristen.With each nights that passed, she wondered on her bed, what his reaction would be. Was he going to feel hurt, sad, crazy, left out? The questions would just go in and on."Ma'am, I would like two doughnuts with chocolate toppings."A kid ordered, breaking her from her thoughts."Oh darling, wait for me to get it for you, that's the price over there." She pointed to the side where she wrote the prices of all the snacks she prepared.Melissa shouldn't have been the one selling snacks out, it should have been her workers but it was because of the fact that she wanted to get busy that she had to sell the snacks herself even after making them as the head chef.She was the head chef, she was the one who supervised the other to make the food and snackbut sometimes when her workers were not around or they just didn't do something right.Today was one of th
It was time for Melissa and Kristen to go out on the agreed 'date'.Kristen had texted Melissa to get ready on time. He was going to pick her up from work as soon as he was done with what he was doing.A few minutes later, he was done, not because he had nothing else to do but because he always had time for her and he looked forward to seeing her.He entered his car and drive straight for Melissa's restaurant.He would have asked them to hold their date in her restaurant but he knew she was not going to allow him pay for any food they ate."Are you ready?" He asked."Yeah, and when we get there, we must take ice cream, Ive been in the kitchen since forever." "Yeah, sure, I like ice cream more than you do." Kristen said and they both stared at each other. "No, I was the one who told you that Ice cream was my best desert."When they got to the restaurant that Kristen drove them, Melissa sat without saying a word."Come on, say something, what are you gonna eat?" Kristen asked Melissa.
When someone has another person on their mind, every little action and thing that happens seems to remind them a lot of the person they are thinking about, such was the case for Alex.To him It was so unbelievable how Melissa behaved.He remembered when he kicked Mia and he felt bad but the next minute, he quenched his conscience with the fact that it was her mother's words that got him angry.He picked up the phone and called Victoria."Hello, Victoria.""Oh come on, now that we are going to get married pretty soon, why don't you call me something nice or should I say romantic, beauty is a nice name.""Cut to the chase, why couldn't you make it to our destination. I'm sure you won't like it when I start tailing you."Victoria had forgotten that the day she met Hermes was the day Alex asked them to meet."Oh, my bad, I got down on my periods.""I'll schedule another meeting and if you're not present, I'll have to send my men to guide you. I don't want someone betraying me the second t
With all the confidence she could muster, a young lady walked from here to there, trying to pick out some foodstuffs at the grocery store.She picked spinach. That was the last on her list of items to get in the shop.After she paid, she tried to walk away, only to get hit on the forehead by someone who was…a guy."Sorry…sorry, I am sorry." She was so spellbound by the sight in front of her when she raised her face.How could a man created by God be this handsome, he was even more handsome than her personal Korean Idol.She would have gone straight to hug him, ask for his number and fuck him right away but even though she was crazy, she knew better than to disgrace herself.Killian stared at her in amazement, she wasn't the prettiest he had ever seen but she was somewhere there.Perhaps if she removed her baggy sweatpants and the fat canvas she was wearing, she'd look hot.Something about her impressed him though, she apologized to him first when he hadn't even said a word to her.Mos
Chapter 23After Melissa left, Hermes waited behind as well.Victoria walked up to where he was and sat opposite him in a majestic manner."Sometimes, you should lower your pride and come meet me where I'm sitting. I hate that you don't treat me like a lady." She hissed."How can I treat you like a lady when you're not. A lady wouldn't have a heart such as you." Hermes stared down at his phone, oh, how he hated the sight of her."Did you slip it in her handbag?""Yes, I did." Hermes said.Victoria looked left and right to see if anyone was new before bending forward to whisper."Then I've got a new task for you, find out for me who Kristen is?" Victoria said and narrowed her eyes at him."But I wasn't supposed to undertake such task." Hermes frowned. What if he got caught trying to tail someone he didn't even know about?"Come on, I'll make sure you don't get caught." Victoria said it like it sounded like a brilliant idea."Don't tell me it has something to do with Melissa."Hermes st
Kristen hastened up into his room. He thought of what to do to calm his racing heart but he found none.The feeling of frustration engulfed him and the next minute he had his head buried in between his bed and pillow.What he saw earlier wasn't what he was supposed to see, was it?He had just come back this morning and was trying to walk towards the main building when he saw…."Please open the door, Kristen, please, I need to talk to you." Melissa knocked on the door, distracting him from his thoughts.He thought about ignoring her, how the heck could she do this to him after he took care of her in the way he had done all these years, but he knew he could not. His heart wasn't going to let him do that."Come in." He had managed to calm his nerves. Melissa was someone that he couldn't stay mad at for long.In all three years, this was Melissa's first time entering his room. She was always willing to give him space and that little bit of respect but who would have thought that she'd com
Hermes sat down on the couch. Using his hand to support his chin, he looked helpless as ever.He couldn't stop thinking about his last discussion with Victoria."Don't forget that I have the skeleton you hid in your cupboard for so long." Victoria said."What do you have against me?" He had asked, preparing to raise the corners of his lips in a smug smile when he heard something he thought was out of the world.Victoria gave up a low chuckle. "You aren't a saint too, are you? Not only have you been dreaming of taking Melissa away from her mate, but you also slept with her, why don't you wait up and see." Victoria subconsciously raised her index finger, indicating that he should give her a minute.She dipped her hand into her bag and brought out an iPad.She played the audio file and he frowned as a recognizable voice rang out. It was so short."Hermes, who do you like?" A female voice asked."I don't just like Melissa Kim, I love her and she'll forever be the woman I love," Hermes pro
CHAPTER 26Melissa baked a lot in her bakery shop. Ranging from doughnuts to cakes of different sizes. She usually baked herself because she thought that she was the only one that would bake her stuff to its great taste."Ms. Someone is here to see you.""Did they say the name?""He said his name was Hermes and he said he wanted to see you urgently." One of the workers announced although she felt the name rolling off her tongue was rather strange."Give me a minute, I'll get my hands washed and you over there, come continue the kneading." Melissa instructed, washed her hands, and rushed out.She stopped right on her face, a smile on her face, she was now proud of what he had become.He was now an artist and he had his art gallery. Because he spent half of his life trying to be a Beta to Alex, he didn't really develop more on his artistry but now he was a pro at it.This was part of the things he let her know about him the last time they met."Hello." She waved at him and tried to hug
