MELISSA’S POVI was annoyed at the way Stefan spoke rudely to the couple and that only made me lose interest in what was happening here. I was embarrassed to be identified with him and it was certain the couple would think that I was also like him, since I was moving with him and all.No matter how hard I tried, I still couldn’t get that scene off my mind and it renewed every single moment I remembered it. My phone rang and I checked who was calling. It was Layla.“Finally. A distraction.” I said, with a smile as I answered the call.“Hey Melissa. I called to check on you. How is that place and how are you enjoying the nice view, which I am certain the city would have.” Layla said, giggling over the phone.“Well, the city is glorious and it has wonderful sights. I am more than honored to be here and I will make sure that I take in all the beautiful sights I can take in, before I leave.” I said, with a wide smile on my face.“I envy you. Anyways, while you are there, I can freely eat a

STEFAN’S POVI was happy with the fact that Melissa had confessed. It was going to be easier for her to accept her past if I told her about it. My heart raced for her and I couldn’t wait for her to be in my arms. Then I picked up my phone and sent her a text. I knew that she would have no choice than to come over and it was certain that she was awake, already.A few minutes later, I heard a knock on my door.“You can come in.”She came in, looking like a cute teddy and I could tell that she was nervous.“Have your seat.”“Uhm... I’m so…”I interrupted before she completed the word. She was probably feeling uncomfortable with my actions and probably wondering that I was annoyed, which I wasn’t.“Here.” I offered her wine as I poured it into a wine glass.“I…I don’t think that’s a good idea.” She said, politely.“It’s fine. It isn’t alcoholic.” I assured her, with a smile.She collected the wine from me and sipped it slowly.“I think you should also drink a lot of water after this, oka

STEFAN’S POVI could feel how frightened she was, especially that she didn’t mind to be in my arms, on the bed. I was a man and we weren’t married in this world. She wouldn’t want to do this, in her right senses. Anyways, she already confessed to me that she loved me, so it explains why it also seemed easy for her to sleep in my arms.After making sure that she was asleep, I withdrew myself from her, slowly, to check her room out. I got outside and when I got to the room, I scrutinized it, but didn’t find anyone there, neither did I see any sign of struggle between two people. I also checked the bathroom and saw no one there. What could have happened?It was even baffling, more, as there was no evidence of what happened. But since she felt safe with me, it was better to be fine with what she wanted. If she was in so much trouble, she could have told me. It could even be that she had a nightmare or sort, but that certainly wasn’t it, because her hair and skin was wet like she had just

MELISSA’S POVI looked back at him and tried to compose myself as I didn’t want to come off as nervous. Not to a man as observant as he.“Uhm… what do you mean by that?” I asked, trying to act like I didn’t understand what he meant.“You didn’t tell me that you were going on a business trip with the boss. Although, I understand that his was more important than our spa plan, but I thought I was going to be told about this.” Edward said, with a poker expression.“I apologize about that, but it ought to be confidential. It’s business and I was trusted with that.” I backed myself up, hoping that card would work on him.“Hmm. I understand. I’m sorry I didn’t think of it that way.” “It’s fine.”“So, I’m certain there is a lot you have to say. How was your stay, there?” He asked, with keen interest and a smile on his face.I told him all about the nice things that happened, but I skipped the part where it would seem like Stefan was being too favorable, or start coming off as suspicious. Whe

MELISSA’S POVAlicia was just an expert in being a pain in the neck. She had made me angry and there was no use for the cola, anymore. I decided to throw it in the dumpster, but just before I could throw it, I saw Edward, walking towards this place.“Great.” I said, under my breath.I didn’t want him to notice that I was annoyed, because he was going to guess that I was, if I threw the cola away. “Hey, Melissa. How are you doing?” He asked as he ordered his drink.“I’m good.” I said as I opened the can and then gulped my drink.Unfortunately, I choked on it and coughed really hard.“Hey, are you okay?” Edward asked as he moved closer to me and collected my drink.I coughed again as it was itching my throat and then I exhaled.“I’m fine. Sorry I startled you.”“No, it’s fine.” He said, looking at me, with concern.“So, who got you angry?” “No one. I didn’t say I was.” I said, trying to take the suspicion off me.“Well, I know you are annoyed. And I will like to advise you not to thin
