Melody stood in front of the full length mirror longer than she intended to.

She wasn’t nervous at least that was what she kept telling herself, but her fingers kept smoothing down her dress like it might suddenly betray her. The soft fabric clung to her curves in a way that felt both flattering and unfamiliar. She wasn't used to wearing clothes like this, but thank goodness all that changed. Her clothes were quite pricey and it feels so soft on her skin.

She was excited about today, but about

  • The Christmas Contract    EPILOGUE

    Two Christmases LaterBahamasSnow had a way of making everything feel so beautiful, white and peaceful. It reminded the whole world of the Christ child. The beauty of the season. Melody watched it fall through the glass window of the café, her fingers loosely wrapped around the warmth of the ceramic mug in front of her, though she hadn’t taken a sip yet. She was waiting for her takeout order.Sitting in Bahamas after a long conference for entrepreneurs, in which she gave a speech Melody couldn't help but smile at how much has changed since this time two years ago. And this was the time she got her Christmas miracle. Her heart was filled with gratitude.She leaned back slightly in her seat, exhaling softly as her gaze drifted across the room. The café was decorated in soft gold lights and small Christmas ornaments that hung carefully from the corners. Somewhere behind the counter, a low Christmas song played, blending into the background like a distant memory. Her phone buzzed light

  • The Christmas Contract    Starting Over Again

    Logan was spending the day with his mum, he offered to drive her for her doctor's appointment later in the day and since it was the weekend, he figured it would be great to just take a swim in the pool and unwind.He wanted to call Daniel to come join him but he figured that was a bad idea because Tara was always with him every free time he had. He's known Daniel for the longest time and this was the only relationship he didn't complain about. It feels like him and Tara were made just for each other.Whenever he thinks about how happy his friend is, he automatically feels sorry for his lonely self.Since he didn't have company except him, he spent almost two hours in and out of the pool. As he got out, he wrapped the towel around his waist as he stepped inside. He walked straight to his bar and poured himself a glass of whiskey before checking his messages.Almost immediately the hospital email caught his eyes and without even blinking he opened it and read its content. His eyes drop

  • The Christmas Contract    Mel's Safe Café

    One Month Later“Yes, ma’am, you ordered a cappuccino and a croissant,” Melody said, her voice warm but steady despite the lingering fatigue in her bones. “Here you go.”The young woman in front of her smiled, clearly pleased, and took the tray with a quick thank you before stepping aside to make room for the next customer. Melody watched her go for a second, before she allowed herself to exhale. That had been her last order before her break, and she could feel it deep in her shoulders, in her lower back, in the slow, constant heaviness that came with carrying not just a business, but a life inside her.“Alright, guys, I’ll be in the kitchen,” she called over her shoulder, already untying the front of her apron as she stepped away from the counter. The café buzzed behind her, orders being called, machines hissing, light chatter filling the air like background music and for a moment, just a brief moment, she paused and looked around.It was full. Tables occupied, staff moving efficient

  • The Christmas Contract    Served To Run A Paternity Test

    The suitcase clicked shut, as Tara straightened, brushing invisible creases from her dress as she turned toward Melody, who stood by the door with her arms folded, watching her with that look, half amused, half reluctant, and entirely unwilling to admit how much she was going to miss her. It's been almost a month since they got back from SnowBrook.“Are you really going to be gone for a whole week?” Melody asked, her voice carrying a softness she tried to hide behind mild annoyance. “A whole week, Tara. With Daniel.”Tara grinned, completely unbothered, slinging the strap of her bag over her shoulder. “Girl, that is my fiancé. Of course I’m going. What do you expect me to do, cancel my engagement trip because you’re suddenly clingy?” She laughed lightly, stepping closer and nudging Melody’s arm. “It’s not even that long. One week. Seven days, and before you know it I'll be back to bother you.”Melody exhaled, glancing away. “Easy for you to say. You’re not the one staying alone in thi

  • The Christmas Contract    Make Her Pay For The Disrespect

    The flight from Snowbrook to New York felt longer than any Logan had ever taken. Not because of turbulence or delays, but because he just couldn't stomach the embarrassment he's feeling. Every second in the air stretched into something unbearable, an endless loop of humiliation replaying in high definition behind his eyes. Melody’s voice and how she said the words “You’re not the father,” with so much spite.The way the room had gone silent, the way eyes had turned to him, he could feel the pity in their stares, the way he had stood there, caught off guard, stripped of dignity in a space where he didn’t belong.His jaw tightened. Even now, seated in first class with untouched champagne by his side, Logan could still feel it, the sting crawling under his skin like something alive. He had left everything for her.Canceled meetings, postponed deals, ignored responsibilities and for what? To be made a fool.His fingers curled into fists on his lap. The moment the plane touched down, he d

  • The Christmas Contract    You're Not The Father

    The airport was surprisingly very busy today as people moved in every direction, announcements echoing overhead, suitcases rolling across polished floors. She parked, turned off the engine, and just sat there for a second, gripping the steering wheel like she needed it to stay grounded.Her eyes were still slightly swollen from crying. Her chest still felt tight, she didn't know if it was the pregnancy hormones that were kicking. She's been crying a lot lately, she cries about literally everything and anything.She exhaled slowly. “Get it together,” she muttered, then she stepped out. The moment she walked toward the arrival area, she saw her. Tara was wearing grey sweatpants and black body con top. And before Melody could even call her name, Tara had already spotted her.“Melody!” Tara started running toward her immediately, not even caring about the people in the way. Melody blinked in surprise for a second before she moved too, meeting her halfway. They collided into a tight hug.T

  • The Christmas Contract    Fooled Twice

    Melody was feeling emotionally drained, with everything going on around her. She could barely sleep, last night she was at the beach till almost midnight and when she got to bed she was struggling to sleep. Logan didn't sleep in their room last night, that's two nights in a roll. Maybe he was over

  • The Christmas Contract    Moved To The Psych Ward

    The first thing Tara did when she walked into the hospital that morning was sanitize her hands. It had become muscle memory by now, the automatic press of the dispenser, the sharp scent of alcohol, the way she rubbed her palms together until the sting faded. Some habits never left you, no matter ho

    Melody hadn’t slept the whole night, she was almost tempted to eavesdrop on Logan and Hanni, but what would happen if she gets caught.

    Logan knew he shouldn’t be anywhere near Hanni. That truth had followed him the moment he left Melody in the bedroom, the echo of her words still ringing in his ears like a cruel joke he couldn’t shake. ‘I loved the money, the comfort that comes from being around you and that’s all.’ He replayed i
