Melissa gracefully stepped out of the sleek black Rolls-Royce that Jeremy had thoughtfully sent to pick her up. It had been weeks since she had expressed her desire to paint him, drawn to his unique facial features, and today he had finally found the time to make it happen. Jeremy had invited her to his magnificent house, where she now found herself. As Melissa entered the villa, she was immediately captivated by its distinct charm. The space exuded elegance, with its tastefully chosen furnishings and a subtle undertone of mystery. The walls, adorned in shades of grey and black, were like abstract works of art in their own right. She was led into a cozy and inviting living room, complete with plush white sofas, and was asked to wait there while Jeremy concluded a video conference. Initially, Melissa sat patiently on the luxurious sofa, but her artistic spirit soon yearned for exploration. She couldn't resist the urge to acquaint herself with her surroundings. Taking a leisurely strol

Chapter 54: Who is Sexianna Black "Don't come any closer, you are a monster." Derby told her four year old daughter after she caught her decapitating her dolls. Honestly this wasn't the first time. She really thought something was seriously wrong with her daughter. Four year old Sexianna didn't care about her mother, she had never cared, decapitating her dolls were much more fun than listening to her awful mother she thought. Derby Black was Sexianna mother and ever since Sexianna was a child Derby knew something was off about her daughter. Sometimes she tried to tell her husband but he would just ignore her and say she's just a child "it's a phase she'll pass what ever you think is wrong with her." He would always say. But Derby didn't think so. Sexianna was the only child of her parents. Sexianna didn't quite have a normal childhood, I mean she admitted that she was different. For some reason she found delight when people suffered. One time when she was seven she tied down her

The night of the event."Melissa!! Look at how gorgeous you look! So amazing." Nicky praised making Melissa smile. But Nicky wasn't wrong Melissa looked stunning, she was already a beautiful woman but with a dress like that and some grooming she looked even more beautiful. "I didn't even put much make up on you. I just fixed your hair and dressed you up yet you still look so beautiful. Jeremy was right your perfect. Absolutely perfect." "Alright!.. I've heard enough praises for one night." "I'm only saying the truth." "Thanks Nicky. I have go now, I'll see you later okay." "Wait!." Nicky stopped Melissa. "Please promise me you'll try and have fun tonight."Melissa rolled her eyes she couldn't believe Nicky stopped her for that. "I will. I promise." Melissa's replied.And with that it was time for her to go.At a certain seven star hotel, a large magnificent ballroom had been meticulously set up for what seemed to be a very important and very high class event. The chandeliers

Chapter 58: The beach "This place is quite beautiful." "I come here at night sometimes to clear my thoughts. I feel better any time I'm here." "I feel nice just sitting here staring at the water." Melissa said as she closed her eyes and took in the fresh air. "Why the sudden change in mood back at the party? I knew I had to get you out of there when I noticed it, I'm guessing you weren't enjoying yourself. "It's really nothing but I'm glad we're here and not inside the party. Although I think you would be greatly missed by the women in there." Melissa teased. Jeremy smiled. "My mother use to tell me that denial was one of the worlds worst problems and yet she lived all her life in it." "Your mother?" "Yes, Miss Williams my mother. I come here to think about her and all the sacrifices she made for me. When I'm here a feel free from everything. The guilt, the shame it's all gone. It's as if they are being blown away by the breeze. It feels refreshing. Just let go and le

Chapter 60: Elena Crane "I can't believe you told him all that on your first date." Nicky said annoyed. "It wasn't a date." Melissa's replied as she tried to remove her heels from her feet. "Did you have fun atleast? " "Yes for a while." Melissa replied. "Why can't you let yourself have proper fun. Your always doing this." Nicky said annoyed and stormed out of the room. Why the heck was she upset? Melissa wondered. **** Meanwhile Jeremy sat in his house thinking about all the things Melissa had said to him. He felt so bad for her. He knew he had offended her dearly and now he knew the reason she was so offended she had gone through so much pain. Being someone who had gone through pain himself he could completely understand how she felt. She was really brave to go through all that and still be able to smile and be happy and live a normal life. Not everyone could do that. Take him for example. She was the second woman he knew who had gone through so much and still could put
