"Melia," he murmured, and she looked up from her journal, closing it at the same time. Her brown eyes met his with apparent attention as Melia rested her forearms on the wooden table, interlocking her hands. "I wanted... to tell you..." he hesitated. The cause of his hesitation seemed to be the way Melia was looking at him. To be honest, it was just a normal look, but it made him nervous."And I'm just looking at you," she raised her left eyebrow and formed a smirk on the side of her lips.What did she mean by that? Elijah shifted uncomfortably. He just wanted to know what would happen to Helena from now on. She was currently in the great mansion of the woman who had taken her life and given it back.The process of getting her out of the morgue wasn't as difficult as they thought it would be. Melia kept Mr. Stuart more than entertained, and for some reason, every time she looked him in the eyes, he did what she asked or said."She manipulates through you," Rebekah explained to him, re

The satisfied smile on her face for what she did with the snow disappeared as she approached Fox and Rebekah to the edge of a waterfall where several trees surrounded them. And on the other side of the waterfall, there was that woman.This can't be happening, she thought to herself. What is she doing here?"I don't know," replied Rebekah. "But I thought you wouldn't see her again."Helena had warned her that a woman was looking for her, but she didn't think it would be her. That woman with white skin, perfectly crafted features, clear yet dark eyes that reflected anything but benevolence. There she was, with her hands clasped at her waist, dressed in her black tuxedo that gave her both masculine and feminine airs, which Melia could tell was the best brand. Her blonde hair was slicked back and her chin was raised with an effect of fear and power."So it is and so it shall be... Skalliet."And as she would say herself: "The less you know about me, the better off you'll be."Melia and Sk

When the snowhair parents and siblings left, Fox came out after two minutes doing what Melia did, placing the same stone that she took under the stairs of the mansion. He went back inside and closed the door.Later, Melia started a discussion about what happened today. And more for the fact that Orleans' family was in the mansion. That was something that should not have happened and more the knowing, where Elijah was.At the end of the discussion, everyone focused on their own issues.Melia sat on the living room sofa taking the bottle that was on the coffee table, which was already lying empty. He made a slight pout because of that.Another weight was felt minutes later on the sofa, it was Helena." Since I've been here I've seen you drink that liquor." He spoke and Melia looked at him. "It's Bourbon, right?" He asked and Melia nodded with her eyes on the bottle." My father sells that alcohol.Melia looked at him."Really? " Helena noticed that her face apparently lit up because of w

It was noon and Karina was sitting on one of the benches in the palace. Her gaze was sparkling as she admired the view - the beautiful trees, the garden, the pink flowers that grew faster and faster. She smiled as she watched her daughter running after a colorful butterfly."Melia!" she called out, and the girl stopped and looked at her mother, then walked towards her. "Leave the butterfly alone.""I don't want to," she pouted, and her mother kissed her forehead. "It's so pretty and I want to keep it with me.""You sound just like your father when you talk like that," she chuckled briefly. "He...he wants to have everything.""That's why he's the king of all here.""That's right," she sighed, and Melia noticed that her face had turned somewhat sad."Are you okay, mother?" she asked, looking into her eyes."With you, everything is fine," she smiled and kissed her head.Her glasses hung around her neck. She closed the book, marking the page before sighing and leaning against the door fra

The rest of the day was slow, very much against the quickness that the pelinieve wanted it to pass. He was now on the second break, sitting at one of the tables on campus, his nervous and distracted gaze evident wherever he looked.Helena was with Jackson Park; it was a miracle that today that guy who made his life impossible was not bothering him.Melia's effect, perhaps?He felt a weight on his shoulder, it was Fox."Is something wrong?" he asked."I'm nervous," Elijah replied."Can...? Don't fuck with me," Fox's face turned to surprise and he laughed without more. "Did you give Melia the thread?" he asked under his breath. "She will make you a man today, Elijah. My little big one will become a man," he said with feigned nostalgia, wiping an imaginary tear. That just made Elijah laugh. "She won't do anything to you that you don't ask for.""And if I ask for everything? And if I do it wrong? And if she doesn't like it?""Relax, you'll do fine, she'll help you with that. Besides... Yo
