Chapter five
Melody sat in the back of the car, next to a pleased Timothy. Could it be the most perfect name? Maybe. He could have been named Christian and had a room for wild, forbidden sex.
She blushed just thinking about that sitting next to the most sensual man she’d ever seen in her life.
“Are you all right? You look red,” he was worried, maybe thinking something was wrong with her because of the baby.
Oh, Greek God, if he knew he got me like this. He was thinking about the baby she was carrying in her womb, about her safety and security, it was more than anyone she knew had ever done, including her parents. She found out when she was a month pregnant, she didn’t know how to tell her parents, and all the more reason
*—Thimoty—*Chapter SixTimothy GiannattoTimothy watched the young mother-to-be with curiosity. She walked beside him, slowly, murmuring so softly that he could not understand what she was saying, at first, he thought she was talking to him, then he realized that young Melody was talking to herself. He was used to the frivolous women of movies and television, the ones who preferred to dress up than being comfortable, or the ones who preferred to keep up an appearance than live happily. He had a feeling Melody didn’t care at all how much money he had in his pocket.“Have you cleared up your issues?” he didn’t know why she caught his attention. She was a fairly plain and simple girl. Petite size, big gray eyes, intelligent gaze, and Jet-Blac
*—Melody—*The consultation passed without her noticing.She had only gone to the first appointment at her parents’ house without them noticing her visit to the doctor.She had started taking the prenatal pills as she read about the symptoms and stages of pregnancy on the internet.When she confessed this to Dr. Troy, his eyes widened wildly, and he wanted to jump off the nearest bridge.“Poor baby!” he exclaimed.That alone made Melody feel like the vilest of mothers.“I don’t have health insurance. I didn’t know what else to do,” she defended herself. She felt it was the only thing left for her to do.Timothy was sitting in a chair next to her. He gave the impression of being uncomfortable, but he hadn’t wanted to leave when she proposed.“I’ll stay and check in with the doctor,” he had told her.She trusted the angels that he would not judge her, as the OB/
*—Timothy—*Timothy looked at the woman lying across from him. She was beautiful in a different way. She had a sparkle in her gaze that had coaxed him ever since he saw her in the coffee shop that morning, her hair such a dark shade just made him conjure up a thousand sexual positions where her black hair fell over them, surrounded, sweaty, wet, it was so exciting to think about, he didn’t want to think about what it would be like to make it happen. The girl was practically a mystery to him, he didn’t know her at all, and his bruised male ego screamed at him that he didn’t want to know her either.That happened when someone broke our personal and sentimental barriers. There was no longer a single moment in his life where he did not think about the mess he had gotten into with Gia, he had trusted her blindly, for him she was a woman who represented him, who could share his problems and dreams. He had fallen into the net of a crone, one
A woman must have certain things clear before confessing to have committed a murder, been unfaithful, told a lie, or committed a betrayal. She simply had to find better ways to say it, and in that sense, Melody could only think that she had betrayed Timothy Giannato.While she knew absolutely nothing about him, she didn’t know if he was wise or intelligent, she didn’t know how hard he had worked to keep his company, she didn’t know if he was a bad man, if he told me that someone had done him wrong. The only thing Melody did know was that this Italian had shown up at the coffee shop, and when her eyes fell on him, the tranquility and security that she had not felt for so long, seized her. But at the same time, she felt the nerves and uneasiness, as if it was the first time a man had ever looked at her.
*Timothy*The woman was a mess, her hair was tied up in a bun that reached almost to her forehead, her eyes were a little puffy and Timothy was immediately concerned, even though she had left his apartment a little embarrassed, he didn’t think she was that affected by the fact that he had taken the audacity to take her home when she fainted.He just acted on impulse after Troy had told him she just needed to rest and get something to eat.He caught himself getting in the car and telling Clark to take them to his penthouse.It was amazing how someone trying to help another person made them feel offended and, in that case, Timothy was incredibly surprised, no one had ever refused help from him, it always had a positive ef
MelodyMelody stayed in the kitchen while she changed her mind about the coffee and poured water to make herself a chamomile tea, it was either that or just drink the hot water. The kitchen was practically empty, in the cupboard there were only a few boxes of colored cereal, which she loathed, and some canned peach juice, one of the many things that made her vomit. Lucy had again forgotten to go to the grocery store a few blocks from the apartment. Her friend could be as good as she wanted, but when it came to organization and shopping, she was awful. It wasn’t the first time she’d been to Lucy’s, only this time she’d definitely lived there, even though things weren’t exactly going well, she’d be incredibly grateful for the opportunity to let her stay at her place for a while, until she knew what to do with her baby and her life in gener
*Melody*Melody couldn’t remember the last time she felt completely relaxed since she found out she was expecting a child. She didn’t understand how she had fallen into accepting lunch with Timothy, she was getting sick just thinking about having to find something to wear to see him. Well, she did understand, she realized that she had no money, nor was the best circumstance to be expecting a child. She must have been aware that she found a way, although not quite easy, it was a valid way. She did not stop to think about the pros and cons of the situation that lay ahead. She could handle anything.He had been right to warn her to be careful to dress appropriately. Melody didn’t know how being proper meant in Timothy’s world, much less for circling fancy places, like the ones she was sure he was used to.
TimothyTimothy looked at the picture and wanted to break the head of the detective who was taking a drink of whiskey in front of him.Undoubtedly it was her, the woman who captivated him in just a few minutes, the one who stood up for every single comment he said to her. He fell into her diabolical game without realizing it, without calculating or analyzing it.Timothy vowed to himself never again to fall for any other woman, after Gia cheated on him, he fell for Melody, and she betrayed him.But he would make her regret it.He looked at the photograph again, there were more than twenty of them, the man was extreme with his work. The detective took out more than six to start with
