The moment Melissa step foot into the house,
Veronica squeaked pulling her into a bone crushing hug while also being mindful of the small baby bump.
“What is this for? You are chocking me, dude!” Melissa whining trying to pry the woman away but her grip was deathly strong.“You have to tell me everything! All of it!” Veronica gushed,A smile bloomed on Melissa's lips when she remembered how Kaden asked her to be his girlfriend and how wonderfully he kissed her.It was like she was back to being a teenage girl whose crush finally noticed and asked her out.“Aww my little sister is blushing, I guess the kiss must have been amazing,” Veronica teased making Melissa's face turn even redder.“So tell me what happened between you two and why you are glowing like this.” She asked in a teasing tone and Melissa let out a small happy giggle.She dreamily stared inVeronica walked into the kitchen and stopped dead in her tracks when she saw her little sister listening to music while taking scones out of the oven.It was the strangest thing ever because her sister only ever walked into the kitchen to drink water or get herself some juice and that's it.Even the maid, Lara was equally shocked and just stood there watching with wide open eyes.Did the world start spinning on the wrong axis or did the pigs finally grow wings and were now flying!She had been working for them for five years and not once in those five years did she see Melissa walk into the kitchen to actually cook.“Wow, someone looks happy today.” Veronica said and Melissa who only had one headset on turned to face her,“Oh, hey sis!” She cheerfully said with the cutest smile on her face, “I've made breakfast, come sit down and have a bite.”Veronica took small steps in
After a few minutes of silence, Melissa gathered up some courage and unwrapped herself from the younger Leighton.She looked around and neither Mandy, Anderson nor the girl was present.It was just her, Lara and her brothers in law.She looked at both men and her heart swelled with joy,Her brother in laws who's names she couldn't remember came to her aid."Thank you uh---" she stopped midsentence not wanting to saying the wrong names."Aiden Leighton and he is Brandon my elder brother. I know you don't know our names because brother didn't introduce us." He responded and Melissa felt a little relived that hedidn't get angry with the fact that she didn't remember their names." um nice to meet you." She said her head lowered so that they don't see her tear stained face which they already saw."By the way I'm sorry for rui
In the kitchen, Mel felt devastated when she heard her sister cry about how she didn't want her to go into depression again.A lone tear escape her eyes, and she sat on the dinning chair burying her face in her hands.“You can't let him affect you like this Mel,” she told her self, “he has already moved on and so should you! You can't continue dwelling in the past when a beautiful future is right in front of you.”She took a deep calming breath,'I won't go into depression again, I will stay strong and fight for my life.'She wiped the last of her tears, took another deep breath and stood up.Lara just silently stood there, watching her.Melissa took her headsets and played some music on her phone then distracted herself with the cooking.*In the living room*Veronica told the Leightons everything about Mel, how she was bullied, quit school two months before the exams
“Are you ready?” Kaden asked Melissa who took a deep breath shaking her head in denial.They were both currently in the parking lot of an Italian restaurant where she was officially going to meet his father and brothers.She was so not ready for the meeting and was only here because it was necessary for her to meet them.“Don't worry, you will be fine.” Kaden squeezed her hand in assurance.Melissa took another deep brother and both of them walked out of the car.Her mind couldn't stop running with all the possible scenarios of how the meeting would go.She wasn't worried about his brothers because they already claimed to liked her when she met them this afternoon,The one she was worried about was Mr Leighton, his father.He was a ruthless and hard man who never smiled or tolerated nonsense andrumourhad it that he killed when
Kaden's jealousy and anger kept on growing to such an extent that he couldn't take it anymore!Where he stood, he felt like strangling his brothers for talking to his girlfriend and making her smile!He clenched and un-clenchedhis fists until----“Okay, shall we proceed now?” He cut their conversation, his tone laced with frustration.His brothers who sensed the frustration and anger in his voice instantly went quiet and so did Mel.She wondered why he was suddenly in a bad mood but didn't question it.Perhaps he was hungry and wanted to start dinner as soon as possible.“Have a seat, sweetheart.” He calmly said to her, moving the chair.She quietly satdown andhe did toofollowedby his dad and brothers.Once the waiter who was standing a few&n
“Anyway, it's getting late and it's not good for a beautiful lady to be out at this time now, is it?” Eric spoke once the laughter had died down.“Yeah you are right dad I think it's time for me to take her home,” Kaden responded, Melun- buried her face from his chest, and they all stood from their seats.“Be sure to come by and visit us sometimes oh and by the way, when will you two officially become a married couple and consummate your Marriage?” He asked looking at the couple.“Well dad, I'm waiting until she becomes more comfortable with me and when we fall in love with each other, right babe?”“Yeah you are right,” Mel affirmed.“Okay, that's fine by me.” Eric responded, “Have a good night Melissa Leighton and say hi to your family,”“Thank you father-in-law, have a goodnight too!&
“What time are you coming to pick me up?!” Melissa who had been waiting for Kaden to arrive, asked with a tint of anger and impatience in her voice.He had called her earlier inviting her over to his place and told her that he would come pick her up in an hour but it was over two hours now.“Sorry baby girl, I've been caught up with some work. But I promise I'll be there in a few min----”“Don't bother,” she cut him off, anger and frustration evident in her voice, “I've changed my mind. I don't want to come over!” Without even giving him a chance to respond, she cut the call throwing her phone on the bed.It has been a month since they became an official couple and after Kaden repeatedly asked her to visit his place, she had finally agreed but now, the urge to go there completely vanished with the way he was tripping.Her phone began ringing again and without checking the caller, s
“Will you marry me?”These words shocked Melissa to the verycore andshe stood there frozen with her mouth wide open.“Say yes girl! Men don't marry these days and you are so lucky to have him kneeling in front of you.” Someone from the crowd said followed by people chanting"say yes."Mel placed her hand on her mouth not sure what to do and how to react.She wondered what had gotten into him!Nine years! She waited and begged him to take her back for nine whole years and now that she had completely moved on, he wanted her back?What sort of Karma was this?“Listen to everyone baby girl and marry me. I promise I will treat you right just the way you deserve to be treated." Anderson said stretching the hand that held the ring towards her.M
