Melody Strikes Back Novel Novels & Stories

Maximus screamed, but before he could do anything to Melody, Miranda jumped in. I was busy making sure that I don't get caught eavesdropping, I didn't know when she got in until she slapped Melody. "Do not ridicule my fiance," Miranda screeched. Melody didn't hesitate to retaliate. She moved at the speed of light. "I'd let you get away with hurting me before, but never again," she snorted. Miranda tried to fight back, but Melody gave no room for that. She dealt Miranda several slaps that I lost count.

My sister. "That's my necklace, Kristen! Why are you wearing my necklace?!" I stood up and glared at my sister. I reached through the bars of the cell and tried to grab the necklace. But Kristen quickly took a step back with a victorious smile showing on her face. "But now, it belongs to me," she respon triumphantly, touching the red diamond around her neck. "Radleigh gave it to me." "You are lying!" I roared at her. "Give back my necklace!"

Her cries pierced the silence, but I was beyond listening. “Let me make one thing very clear, Melody,” I growled, my voice cold and unforgiving. “You are mine.” I struck her exposed backside with a forceful blow, driven by a desire to inflict pain. She cried out louder, her apology barely audible over her sobs.

Mireille’s eyes were bloodshot, veins bursting vividly. Suddenly, she lunged at Raina. Her delicate, seemingly boneless hands were now convulsing, her knuckles whitening as she snapped lightning-fast at Raina’s neck. But before her fingers could touch Raina, a hand intercepted her. Mireille jerked her head up abruptly, her face flashing with shock. She hissed, “You…” Crack— The sharp sound of bone breaking rang out suddenly.

There was a putrid after note, something she would pick up on from someone who was sick. “Ellie, run. He’s sick and you aren’t vaccinated. Run!” Melody heard Ellie’s gasped response and then her heels running on the marble floor. “Ellie, get back here. You’re a bitch, you know that, don’t you? I’m not sick. I’m perfectly fine.” Of course, he thought he was. This thing lingered in waves. Each wave was worse than the last. Melody did not know how she didn’t get another wave of it. But she didn’t have time to ponder that. She had to duck his flailing arm as he tried to strike her.

Melody unleashed the storm that was inside of her. It happened so quickly. She dropped low into a squat inching her way forward, and as the kidnapper entered her cell to try and see where she was, Melody started her attack. One leg swung out from her crouched position as she moved to be just ahead of the open door, sweeping her leg in a powerful stroke, taking out the tall thin man's legs and knocking him down off his feet.

It was me remembering what it felt like to be wanted, to be alive. When morning came, the bed beside me was empty. The pillow still held the faint scent of his cologne, but he was gone. No note. No goodbye. And strangely, that was fine. For the first time in a long while, I didn’t cry. I just sat there, the sheet pulled loosely around me, staring out the window as the sunlight crept across the room. My body felt both heavy and weightless. Lester had cheated. Now I have too. Was that revenge? Maybe. Or maybe it was freedom the first taste of it, sharp and bitter and addictive.

Before I could react, my parents, John Denning and Kate Hilton, shared a glance and quickly said, "Oh, Timmy, Amelia insisted on marrying you. She even threatened to kill herself if we didn't let her! Avery was driven away from home by her, so we had no choice but to let Amelia marry you instead!" I returned to my senses, shocked by what Dad and Mom had just said. They were the ones who'd begged me to marry Timothy. Why was I the one who'd insisted on it now? Timothy immediately slapped me across the cheek. "If it weren't for your meddling, Avery and I wouldn't have wasted so many years apart in our previous life! Tell me where Avery is right now, or I'll make sure you never live to see anot

She smirked before shrieking, "You're so shameless, Isabelle. You're even copying my essay now!" My body trembled as if I'd been hit by a bolt of lightning. Only then did I realize that I'd been reborn—and I'd returned to the moment Marianne first accused me of cheating off her. … In my past life, the school held its final mock exam a week before the SAT exam. Just as the writing exam was about to end, Marianne, who was sitting beside me, suddenly raised her hand and shouted, "Isabelle copied my paper, Mr. Smith!"
