STEFAN’S POVSeeing as she left in such a hurry, was disturbing. It didn’t seem like good news either. I dropped my fork and took up my suit and headed towards my car as fast as I could, so I wouldn’t lose track of her.Thankfully, I caught sight of her. She was running to wherever she was going to and I just followed her slowly at the back. A few minutes later, she got to her destination, I presume. Everywhere looked scattered, it looks like they had thrown her friend’s belongings away, then I used my wolf ears to eavesdrop, which I knew was wrong, but this was Melissa’s case. I am always more than interested on her case.“Oh, my goodness. How could she do this at night?” She gasped, with her hands, covering her mouth.~I watched as they conversed regarding the house issues until she went into her house, angrily. So, it was her, owing house rent, afterall. I drove off, back to my house and thought of what to do. There was no way I could give her landlady the money, because word woul

STEFAN’S POVI was glad that Melissa had won the show off event. I was going to use the time we would spend together, to know more about ourselves. I stayed at the balcony and watched the quiet street.Where would be best to plan for our outing, I needed to find a place that would make her feel comfortable with me and I needed her to remember who she was. Every day, I could feel the mate bond between us and it made my patience, become thin and thin that I really want to have her as soon as possible.I remembered how bright her smile was, when I congratulated her for coming out as the winner of the show off event.~Flashback~“Congratulations, Melissa. How do you feel, emerging as the winner of this event?” I asked her, with a smile on my face.“I feel so good. I wasn’t expecting this and this is thanks to you for encouraging me to go for it.” She smiled brightly at me.“That’s why it is good to always believe in yourself, regardless of how the situation is turning out or whatever what

MELISSA’S POVI woke up feeling happy. Yesterday was a good time, which would forever remain evergreen in my heart. Then I had my bath and got out of my room.“What is this smell?” I said to myself as I could smell a nice aroma, coming from the kitchen.“Who is there?” I asked, trying not to sound scared.“Save the question for later and come help me here.” It was Layla and I felt relief wash through me.“Hey, would you quit getting me frightened?” I pouted as I walked into the kitchen.“Well, maybe that should be a hobby of mine, instead.” She teased as she started frying the chicken.“Whoa. What is the occasion?” I asked, surprised she was cooking something as nice as this.“Well, I am just glad that my friend is doing well and it’s also like an apology for speaking too fast the other night.”I scoffed. “It’s an apology and you are asking me to help out. If you want me to accept the apology, you’ll have to do all these by yourself.” “Alright, my lady. Enjoy yourself with a chilled

MELISSA’S POV“So, do you feel better now?” He asked, snapping me back to reality.“Y…yeah. I do. Thank you.”“Alright, let’s get you back home.”I was grateful in my heart as he had offered me a ride, because I still felt destabilized over what had happened.~“Thanks for the ride.” I said, with a slight smile.“You are welcome. Take good care of yourself.”I went inside, straight to my bedroom and stared at the ceiling for a while.“She deserved that, anyways.” I muttered under my breath and held the duvet tight and slept off. The next day, I got ready for work and when I got into the office, I met everyone, gathered in a circle.“Good morning everyone.” I greeted, walking towards them.“Morning, Melissa. Let’s have you here as well.” Diana said, looking at me calmly.“Now, Melissa, I understand your pain, regarding the gown that was put into the shredder. It was hard work and effort, it was wrong of Alicia to do that. And I have spoken to her about it. Alicia?”“I’m sorry for putt

MELISSA’S POVI didn’t like such dreams as they frightened me to the bones and they felt so real that it made me scared of sleeping. There was no time to keep brooding over the nightmare as I could be late for work if I kept thinking about it.I got ready for work and as I was locking the door to my apartment, my landlady appeared and walked towards me. “Good morning, ma’am.” I greeted, with a slight smile on my face.“Morning. Just here to remind you that you are to pay more than half of what you owe me, which is your rental fee.”“Ma’am. Please allow me to pay half. I haven’t started receiving enough as I just started work at the company.”“Melissa? You heard me right, isn’t it? No excuses.” She said, then walked out.I sighed. I was thinking I was going to be able to keep an amount to myself, especially with the raise I could have earned, but Layla’s loose mouth has cost me my salary and raise for the month.As I remembered Layla, depression dawned on me as I still had not gotten
