Melody Strikes Back Novel Novels & Stories

Melody immediately retorted, “The f*ck are you talking about? Did you see me having an affair with Philip? Why is your mind so dirty? It’s exactly like you, a fleabag!” Juan was getting upset now. He was repeatedly humiliated by a young girl like her. Even a rabbit would bite when provoked. “What did you say? I dare you to repeat that!” Juan glared at Melody and growled. “What? Do you want to hit me? Come on, hit me. I want to see how a stinking old man like you dares to hit a young lady like me in public!” Melody was not afraid of trouble. She even puffed up her chest and stepped in front of Juan.

How could she have fallen for someone so dreadful? Gabriel moved closer to her, speaking softly so only they could hear. "I know you're recording our conversation, Melody, so don't think you'll get anything out of me." Melody's eyes widened in shock. It was him after all! "W-Why are you doing this?!" she exclaimed. Her voice rose in anger as she looked at Gabriel, raising her hand to slap him. The sharp sound of the slap reverberated through the cafe, instantly drawing the attention of everyone present.

"Though you might want to rescue that strawberry before it falls." Ravyn looked down to see that her collision had caused her to juggle a chocolate-covered strawberry, which was now precariously balanced on her palm. She laughed amused at what she saw. "Excellent reflexes," she said, securing the strawberry properly. "Though I'm not sure I could eat this without making a complete mess of myself." "A tragedy, really," the stranger said, his green eyes twinkling with mischief. "That strawberry is far too beautiful to waste. Perhaps I could assist?"

Caleb's eyes darted around, but he didn't correct her. The record I treasured so much… had actually been a gift from Lila. A wave of revulsion rose in me. "Why wouldn't I be willing?" I said, pretending to be nonchalant. "I just couldn't remember where I put it for a moment. There's nothing wrong with you wanting your own stuff back, Ms. Monroe. Of course, I'll return it to its rightful owner." Without looking at Caleb, I walked straight to the study, retrieved the record, and handed it to Lila.

I smiled at the memory of taking her in that same place, muffling her moans with kisses while the cold breeze caressed our skins. It was then I heard screams, from females, it sounded like they were struggling, I followed it and then I saw them- Two maids. Melissa was beneath them and I rushed down but before I got there, I pushed one of the maids off and she fell hard on her butt, the horror on her face was nothing compared to the anger I was feeling. “Sir...she just...” one tried to speak but ended up stuttering. “Shut up!” I was kneeling beside Melissa, her eyes were shut, and beads of sweat had formed on her forehead. She was breathing, she was alive but unconscious.

Then steps in the back to get some needed rest. Melody opens her eyes and stretches. At first, she feels confused, then everything comes flying back to her. Seeing the blanket on her she smiles. ‘I think I picked out the right one to travel with.’ She glanced over to see he wasn’t there. Out of the back of the cab came this god awful noise. Turning to find out it was Charley, and he was snoring. She giggled quietly so she didn’t wake him.

“Melody! Enough! Don’t you dare lay a finger on her!” But she didn’t even glance at him. Instead, she walked toward me. Slowly. Like a predator savoring every heartbeat of fear it caused. And my baby whimpered again—a tiny, fragile cry that felt like a knife twisting inside me. Melody stopped inches from my knees. Her grin widened. “You want her?” she asked sweetly, almost gently. Tears blurred everything. “Yes, please, I’m begging you. Don’t hurt her. Don’t take her anywhere. Don’t... just give her back. Take me. Take me instead. Do whatever you want to me, but just don’t touch her.”

"Why? Why would you do this? Haven't I treated you well?" Suddenly, he snapped. He drew his gun and pressed it against Lorita's forehead. "Why would you do this to me? Why?" Magno lunged at Domenico, trying to push him away, and bit his wrist. "Let go of Mamma! You can't hurt her!" Domenico kicked him aside. Magno fell to the ground, just like Valentina had that day.

"You do?" "Yes",Melody said softly. She turned and her red eyes stared deeply into his. "I know it's crazy, I met you a day ago and yet I'm having this forbidden feelings for you". "Why do you say forbidden?", Xavier asked. "Is it because of the curse?". Melody didn't reply but she nodded. Xavier looked up at the clear sky and the spectacular water fall. He would savour this day because when Serena returned with the sword, they would head back to Red City. They still had a war to stop.

A whiff of perfume wafted through the room, and before I knew it, a heavy object hit me hard on the back of the head. I fell to the ground and my cell phone fell out of my bag. The sudden dizziness made it impossible for me to get up, and with what was left of my mind, I crawled as hard as I could. Before the blackout, I couldn't remember if I had touched the phone. The sound of high heels filled my ears.
