"Hey young man, what do you say after getting a gift?" She asked playfully raffling his hair. "Thank you, mum." He hugged her, then took his toy car to play on the carpet. Glued to the spot, tears filled Melissa's eyes as she watched him play. Her son was the light in her life. The only good thing she got from that night. He was so obedient and well mannered, she felt proud to be his mother. But all credit went to her aunt. Without Betty, Melissa didn't know how she could have managed to raise him on her own.Dropping from university when her parents died. Then later finding herself pregnant with no money to support them. Was hard for her to comprehend. Luckily her aunt was there to support her.

Melissa had to leave, Mark knew who she was making her more scared. If she stayed to take care of him then with no time he would know about tommy and she couldn't have that. Tommy was her life no way was going to let them take him from her. She had seen many cases and the poor mother is always on the losing end. How would she fight the most wealthy man in country yet she had nothing? After getting out of the room, she went to the manager's office with a plan in mind. She needed money for Tommy's school and her aunt's business but she couldn't stay in the hotel with Mark there. Not only did he threaten her son's wellbeing but he messed her brain to. Being in a hotel room with him was like relieving that night. The night that never left her mind. "Excuse me sir can I come in?" She inquired after knocking on the managers office door."Yes come in Melissa, is everything with the client okay?"

For two days Melissa spent everytime she had with her son, and helping her aunt reopen the flower shop. The shop had closed for some months but they still got clients ordering flowers for functions and a few hotels around town got their centerpieces. Having worked in corporate, as a professional accountant, Betty went back to what she loved doing when she lost her family. When her husband and son died, she couldn't live in the city anymore. She lost her home and job making it too hard for her to cope, opting for a new life in the province. Though she never talked about her family, Melissa knew she had never forgotten the hurt and humiliation she suffered back then. Her mother had told her stories about her aunt and when she came to get her, Melissa in her heart promised to always take care of her and Tommy since they where the only family she had."What time are you traveling tomorrow?" Aunt Betty inquired when they sat down to watch cartoon with Tommy after having dinner."Before

Getting back to his hotel room after finishing his meeting, Mark sat on the coach briefly closing his eyes only for her face to popup. Since he saw Melissa again, he couldn't get her out of his mind. That day at the hotel as their eyes met for the first time in years, he still got that electrifying feeling just like the first time. She was older now but more beautiful reminding him of why he couldn't stop himself that night. Now having agreed to his job offer to disign the hotel, he chose to leave the country not only for business but most importantly so she would have time to get acquitted with her work and settled in his house. He needed her to get hooked to her job so she sign's the contract and for her not to leave when she finds out he is her employer and house mate.

As she got off two hours earlier, Melissa walked a few blocks from her office building then took a taxi to the address where her father's former secretary worked.Since she got to the city, she was able to reconnect with the former secretary but it had taken her several weeks of convincing her to meet and share any information she had about the company that could be helpful."Hello I'm here." Alighting the taxi a few blocks as directed, she walked then made a call confirming their meeting place once outside the building. "Come up to the procurement office at the fifth floor. If anyone asks, say your company sent you to get some document don't say whom you're going to meet with. I'll be waiting."
