The night had reached its darkest destination. He was standing in front of that closed door. With a soft push, he opened that door and the first thing which caught his intoxicated reddened gaze was her fragile covered frame. She was totally curled up in the bed. The duvet was wrapped around her curled up figure. Taking his slow strides towards her, he stood beside the bed. Her eyes were closed. Her lips were slightly parted as she was breathing through it. Tears had completely stained her cheeks. The corner of her eyes were still glistening with her tears. Those emerald eyes were witnessing her worst state and they knew they were the reason behind that vulnerable state of hers. He sat beside her, on the bed and just stared at her face. That face which he was trying to despise from the past 4 years but when he was seeing that face again from so close, his heart seemed like it was taking over his mind because his heart had never been able to despise that face. He dimmed the room'
"Evan," Melanie's eyes widened by watching Evan standing in front of her. Her heart ached by seeing him there. She stormed towards him and opened her arms to hug him but stopped when she felt those green eyes staring at her. Melanie tossed her head and witnessed those emerald orbs gazing at her emotionlessly. Her hands dropped down on their own and she sighed. Melanie turned around to face Evan. Her eyes watered. "Evan, how's aunt Olivia now?" she asked, desperate to know about Olivia's health, for whom she was enduring so much. Evan didn't reply but just stared at her. Melanie noticed something unidentifiable in his eyes. Something she had never witnessed in him. "Evan.. " she softly breathed out his name. Adrian, who was silently observing everything, sitting on that sofa, signalled his guards with his fingers and then the guards left them alone. "My mom is fine," Melanie finally heard Evan saying but his next words shocked her. "But you tell me, how was your first
Evan saw Adrian holding his wrist in the middle."You were only welcomed here to talk to my wife, Mr Evan Davis," Is all he said before throwing a vigorous punch on Evan's face, throwing him on the ground. "And I think my wife has gotten done talking to you, so you can see yourself out of this place now," He offered a fake grin at Evan, whose mouth was bleeding after his abrupt hit. Evan got up on his feet and gawked into Adrian's barbaric gaze. "And yes, you were wanting more money. Weren't you? So tell me how much more do you want?" He asked, casually. "Tell me, Mr Davis. Don't feel shy to tell us the level of your hunger for money?" Adrian smirked and Evan scoffed. He got up on his feet and then rubbed the corner of his lips which was bleeding. "I want an additional 5 million more," Evan announced, shamelessly, causing Adrian to chuckle. He tilted his head a bit and looked at Melanie who was staring at Evan entirely startled and still shocked. Adrian tossed his head at Evan
"So now let me help her in understanding my words in a slightly painful but extremely pleasurable way," he rasped against her lips and then captured them in his mouth.Adrian expected her to struggle or protest but what he got was her complete silence. She wasn't even moving. He slightly pulled back and witnessed something which shivered his heart.She was just staring at him, without even batting her lashes. Tears were silently rolling down from the corner of her eyes. She was looking like a lifeless body which was just breathing."Have you already given up to your husband, Mrs Salvatore?" His words came out as an acquisition. Adrian saw more tears to fill in her eyes at his question but a painful tiny beam formed on her lips."I have already lose my everything, so giving up the last thing which I have left to someone isn't something strange to me," Adrian heard her saying those words to him with no emotion on her face."Because if not you, someone else is going to definitely snatch
Her breathing hardened by finding his feet started reducing the distance between them. His eyes didn't leave her and were daring her to do the same. His voracious presence made her understand that he had already heard everything but Melanie restrained herself from showing any kind of fear.She stood by her ground. He stopped before her, leaving a very little distance."So you've already started invading my life, Melanie?" His voice was laced with venom.She knew why he was saying it."I'm not invading anyone's life. She's a part of my life too, so I've every right to know about her,"Melanie saw him hoarsely chuckling at her answer. He laughed like a maniac and then fixed his barbaric gaze at her. He removed the last inch of distance between them and then clutched her arms in a painful grip, causing her to hiss."Part of your life?" He tugged her closer. Melanie felt like his grip was tearing her skin, his hold was that painful on her."Then how did you let that part of your life get
Melanie didn't even know for how long she was crying. Her eyes had started hurting. Her body was paining, sitting in that same position but still it hadn't reduced the pain inside her, not even a bit."Melanie,"Melanie slowly took her eyes up and saw that staff girl, Kade standing at the door. She was holding a tray of food."Can I come in?" She gently asked. Melanie rubbed her eyes and slowly nodded.Kade walked in and came towards her. She placed the tray on the bed and sat beside her on the ground."Am I allowed to ask why are you crying?" Melanie didn't reply but just looked down. Kade was a bit hesitant because somehow Melanie was his boss's wife and she had no right to be so personal with her but still she did that for the sake of humanity.She placed her palm over Melanie's palm and asked"Do you want to talk about it?" Melanie just shook her head slightly, causing Kade to sigh. She clutched her palm"I know it's not professional and I apologise if this would make me overste
"I want to talk to you," He arched his brows in suspicion at her words and then saw her stepping inside the door. "I haven't allowed you to come inside my room," His firm words caused her to halt. Melanie found his hardened facial features turned more cold but she was not there to argue or fight with him. "I wouldn't have done it if not for you getting inside my life without my approval," His gaze turned rigid at her comeback but he didn't say anything further. Melanie took a couple of steps towards his direction and stopped, maintaining a rational and decent distance between them. "I'm just here to ask you the cost of the favours which you're giving me here," she asked, making him a bit untidy. "Like giving me food to eat, clothes to wear and a shed over my head. I want to know at what price you're rendering all of this to me," she stated, daringly. "Because if your cost involves something which I'm not capable of giving to you then I don't want your favours," They both
"You can work for me by being my personal assistant,"Melanie tossed her head and looked at him, confused. He chuckled watching the confusion in her alluring hazel eyes."You know, personal assistant's work? Like helping me in taking my bath, changing my clothes, feeding me and sometimes, even…." He halted and grinned more evilly.Her eyes widened more. She immediately shook her head and tried to push him away."I've no interest in becoming your personal anything, so leave me and go become your own assistant, Adrian Salvatore," He chuckled at her words and tightened his hold around her. Melanie protested while frowning. He bumped his nose with her and uttered."Use your mind just like your big mouth, Mrs Salvatore," Melanie scoffed at his statement. He grinned and further stated."I need a personal assistant at my workplace. I want you to work for me in my company as my assistant," Now the confusion left from her face. She stopped struggling."But I don't have any work experience a
