Meyer greeted Melano with joy and hugged her.“I am so glad you came; you truly grace this party with your presence. I had already lost hope that you'd show up, but seeing you here really makes the whole room brighter. Please, come in, have some wine, or whatever you prefer.” He told her.Alistair was standing nearby and greeted her as well, though much more reservedly, taking heavy sips of whisky from his glass. Melano was tense too, but it didn't show at all. With an elegant motion, she took a glass of wine and offered a toast:“Mr. Meyer, thank you so much for the invitation, once again. It is a great honor for us, and everything is so beautiful. The wine is wonderful too, I love the wine. I wish your company and your staff great success and prosperity! Cheers!”She said this while casting a seductive look at Alistair.“Thank you, Melano, very nice words. And I'm glad the wine at least turned out to be your taste,” Alistair murmured sarcastically almost in a whisper, with a hint of

One windy Friday, while Melano and the company’s executives, including Alistair, were discussing construction plans during a meeting, Melano’s phone suddenly rang.The moment she glanced at the screen, all the color drained from her face. Her hands began to tremble. She immediately declined the call and forced herself to keep looking through the documents in front of her.A few seconds later, the phone rang again. She rejected the call once more. Not long afterward, the sound of a text message echoed through the room.Melano didn’t even touch her phone, pretending to ignore it, but the fear in her eyes was impossible to miss. Her distress became so obvious that someone finally asked whether everything was all right.Melano nodded with a forced smile, assuring them that she was fine. Then she quietly requested a short break and stepped outside.Alistair watched her leave with growing concern. He wanted to follow her but hesitated. Instead, he turned to Bonnie and asked to go after and

Days passed without Melano physically returning to the office.She wasn’t feeling well and handled work only by phone whenever necessary. She made every effort to find out what was going on, even calling a prosecutor she knew personally, a man who held a fairly high-ranking position.He confirmed that her ex-boyfriend, Noah Demirci, had recently been released from prison. Since he had been granted early release, the restraining order against him had automatically been lifted.For Melano, however, obtaining a new restraining order would not be difficult. As a lawyer, she knew the legal procedures inside and out.Still, Noah’s sudden appearance-the first in three years and completely unexpected shook her to her core. It had a devastating emotional impact, leaving her mentally drained and deeply unsettled.I’ll tell you the full story of what happened between Melano and Noah little by little. For now, here’s the short story.They had known each other since high school, and from the very

Alistair was shaken by everything he had just heard. He had no idea how to comfort the woman he had only recently confessed his love to. Or rather, he did know, but he feared that anything he did might seem pathetic or, worse, unwelcome.“I don’t even know what to say, Melano,” he said quietly. “I’m so sorry you had to go through all of that. I can only imagine how deeply your heart must still ache.”“You understand?” she asked, lifting her eyes to his. “Doubt you could. I haven’t even told you the whole story yet. You don’t know the damage that relationship left me with.”She lowered her gaze before continuing.“By God’s grace, my physical wounds healed. But my life… my entire way of seeing the world… changed, forever. For almost a year afterward, I lived with relentless panic attacks. I couldn’t stay alone at night. The cruel irony was that I had no one left to comfort me. My parents had already passed away, and the last person I had in this world, my aunt who raised me, died not lo

Melano was still fast asleep when the sound of a text message woke her with a jolt. For a moment, she felt the same uneasy sensation she’d experienced when Noah had texted her during the meeting.This time, it was Alistair.“I can’t go much longer without seeing you,” he wrote. “I’ll come pick you up and take you out for coffee.”His attention made her happy, but her emotional state still wouldn’t allow her to express her feelings any more openly than she already did.“I’ve already had coffee 🙂”She replied briefly, roughly, lying to the man she was falling in love with.She spent her morning routine thinking about him before finally opening her emails.One of them immediately caught her attention.The International Bar Association was inviting her to Dubai to attend a legal conference that would take place in ten days. If she accepted, she would stay for two weeks, an opportunity that would significantly strengthen her professional portfolio and open new doors in her career.She did
