Semua Bab Ex-husband's Grave Mistake : Bab 1 - Bab 10

Prologue"There comes the adulterous woman!" Roberta, Melissa's mother in-law said, folding her hand at Melissa who just walked in looking stressed and worn out.Melissa didn't know where such degrading title was coming from or who it was referred to. Her eyes shifted between her mother in-law and her husband whose frown deepened at the sight of her. "What is happening?" At that point, her eyes caught her boxes which were packed up at the corner. "Why's my bag outside?" "Take your things and get out of my son's house" Roberta yelled. "You think your secret will be hidden for long? Nothing can be hidden under the sun for long" Melissa gave her mother in-law a confused look. She was still trying to figure out what was going on. What could be up her mother in-laws sleeve. Mostly, her husband's silence was killing her. She knew all wasn't really well"Can you clear me up, mother?" Melissa asked. When she was coming back from her night shift, she had planned on coming home to sleep and n

I strolled elegantly into the gigantic office, swaying my hips as I plastered a tight smile on my face. I could feel the flirtatious stares from the men and could see the envious glares from the female. "Good morning, All!" I said loudly, commanding attention from everyone on the floor. "I am Melissa R. Luca and I'd really love it if you corporate with me" "Pfft" A blonde girl scoffed, gaining my attention. My eyes slowly travelled to where she was standing. "Excuse me? Do we have a problem?" I walked up to her, slowly. Everywhere was now as silent as a graveyard. They were anticipating my reaction. "You're not the boss of us" She boldly said. I admired her for that though."What's your name?" I sized her with my eyes. "And position""You should know if ...""Enough." I held out my hand to her face. "Come and pick up your demotion letter by 12pm today. Don't be late" I smiled sweetly.I had to set an example. This wasn't the old Melissa whose mother in-law scrubbed in the mud."De.

"I thought you said we were going to sight see when we get here. It's weekend" My little princess skipped down the stairs, following me about."I'm sorry, Tonia. You know we can't do that without Daddy Gerald. He'd feel sad" I pouted at her."That's true. I wouldn't want that." She huffed. "Can I ask something?""Oh my goodness Tonia. I really need to get to the grocery shop so I could return early and also so we could start our girls day" I groaned, standing akimbo as I faced her."I'll shoot anyway" She shrugged, grinning at my frustration. I swear she loved seeing me worked up. "Can't it wait?" Picking up my card and keys, I began to walk out of the house."When do I get a baby brother? Is it when daddy comes?" She asked, making me stop on track. I knew the Daddy she was talking about. When I had her, Gerald and I promised to be honest with her about most thing, especially that Gerald wasn't her father. Gerald said it was for the best but he didn't treat her less. In fact, he help

"You have a gift package right on your table ma'am" My new secretary, Claire said, handing me a file comprising the summary of my schedule today. She always made my work easy and I don't ever regret making her my secretary."Who's it from?" Pushing open the general office door, I asked. Antonio wasn't in the office today. That was weird considering the fact that he was always here early. "It said Mr. R" Claire answered. Mr. R? Was that his new identity now? Oh Gerald."Thank you. Please do not let anyone into my office until 4 p.m. because I would love to accomplish something good today" I nodded at her to leave, shutting my door behind me I said a quick prayer in my heart before starting my day. Smiling at the small pack laying beautifully on my table, I leaned forward to pick the card. "Keep looking beautiful. Mr. R" Laughing out softly after reading it, I unwrapped the pack.I was so certain this package was coming from Gerald because he's the only one I knew with such sweet mo

"Are you following me?" A male voice said, startling me. I squinted my eyes trying to figure out who had the voice. There were only two men and an old man in this house and one man and the old man was fast asleep. So that left me with ...Antonio"I beg to differ" I said firmly, throwing myself on the couch. "Well, it seems as if you are. Or maybe we're so connected that you felt my body yearn for you" He turned on the side lamp, which shone more light on him, revealing his current state to me."Yada yada yada. I came here for some peace and quietness. I didn't come to have a conversation with my demons" I sighed, looking up at the ceilingI couldn't sleep. The bad dreams wouldn't let me sleep. Unfortunately, those bad dreams were something that happened to me - The struggles, the pain of rejection I faced."Why are you awake?" He asked after minutes of silence. "Who sleeps when their enemies are everywhere. It's like you're begging to be killed" I fired back, scoffing. "Ouch" He c
