Mindy's P.O.V
I felt like my world had just ended!
Could my Adam have cheated on me or is this another useless attempt by Linda again. No she couldn't afford to buy that sort of jewerly it must be true.
I am so stupid all those countless days he spent at our beach house in Miami, Linda was always at her parents.
They were together and I played the fool in the whole scenario. No Adam's the fool! He dared to cheat on me I feel like spitting on his grave.
I did not want to cry in front of Linda it would be the end of me. She would feel so dominant over me which I do not want. For the first time in a long time I felt tears gathering in my eyes.
I picked up my purse from the kitchen table and with my head bent down I turned to leave.
Then I felt a tight grip pull be back and I was met by the witch Linda.
"Leave my hand right now" I almost yelled. She could only smile wickedly at me.
" Don't forget this family has been mine and will remain mine" Linda said.
I pushed her and left in my sports car.
I drove to the restaurant very pissed off to discover it was empty.
Mr Santos booked the whole restaurant reminded me of Adam- oh no! The tears again.
I sat down and waited for my "date" to arrive,tired from waiting, I had some whiskey.
I got angry and concluded that first thing tomorrow morning I would not do business with them I was not that desperate.
I needed some fresh air and fast! I went out to the park nearby and sat on a bench on a moonlit night in tears.
Till I felt a tap on my shoulder, I reluctantly looked above me and I saw green eyes!

I was so mad!
My sister Thea was caught drunk in a bar with some strange guy I suspected to be doing drugs. I had to take her home before I leave for my business meeting. Thea was so wasted she couldn't even walk properly.
We got into another fight again, the fifth fight this week.
She threatened to move out of the house if I did not let her live her life. It's not like am controlling, but she needed to ease up on her drinking and hooking with any fit that comes her way.
I was lost in thought till I pulled over at the restaurant to be honest, am not that interested in this deal but my business colleagues feel it's good.
I came in and guess what? she's no where to be found! shocker!.
That was it am calling off the deal, just then a waiter informed me she left already.
She couldn't even wait a little while, am just running a bit late.
I headed for the park nearby to get some fresh air and figure out what to do about Thea.
Oh Shit! There's a lady crying on my favourite bench, so as the gentleman I tapped her to kindly ask her to leave.
Not like am rude but I need to cry too, no hugging the bench. The woman reluctantly turned around and guess what it's that taken angel again- my bad luck!.
Wait she's crying thats not right there's gotta be a problem but do I talk to her or not?
I feel like a nerd asking out a cheerleader.
I just can't see her like that and ignore her she drove me crazy like she planted bugs in my head.
I sat down beside her and began playing with fire I don't mind if fire is this hot.
Mindys P.O.V
I was sure my mascara was smudged all over my face. I saw green eyes and my sadness turned into shock am I dreaming?
Nope this is real!
He sat beside me and the cold bench felt warmer. To make things difficult he puts his hands on mine. The cold night felt warmer as he just stared at me.
What did he want from me?
Was he stalking me?
"Are you okay?"green eyes asked me so calmly. I don't know if I could trust him to tell him, it is still aching inside me.
I only nodded and looked into his eyes. What next?
Melendez P.O.V
I mustered up courage and asked.
"Are you okay?" Such a lame question. She just nodded, well a good start. Her hand felt so soft and it felt intimate holding her hand.
"Listen you don't know me neither do I so I get why you're so distant. Sorry If I bothered you I'll be leaving now" yeah that's probably for the best.
Oh no!
She held my hand and stopped me from leaving"it's fine sit down" she had a lovely voice just like I remembered it to be.
Of course I sat down but I wanna know why she's in tears alone in that dress.
"If you don't mind me saying you don't look pretty when you cry" hope I didn't sound too creepy.
"I get that a lot" phew! am safe and so far I've not embarrassed myself yeah!
"Oh but hope you don't get angry why are you alone?"
She sighed she looked depressed and she reminded me of my sister.
Thea suffers from depression and I've tried my best to help her out. I can't stand to see another woman depressed so I want to play therapist.
"You don't need to talk about it I can understand it must be personal and I don't want to make you feel uneasy"
"Actually I like your company I feel safe around you please stay" she said.
Wow! Talk about honesty! I like that.
"What would you do if you find out that your late husband was cheating on you with your housemaid. No sorry I mean your late wife. No. Wait. Am bad at this" she seemed so cute.
"Am sorry to hear that but if I were you I would not focus on his bad habits I would think of his good aspects. The least you can do is keep his good memories alive" I said.
Well I can't say that am totally sad but I won't lie am freaking happy. I thought she was taken but she's not. That means...
Mindys P.O.V
He talked so maturedly and I could sense his sincerity.
He is so selfless but then again it's dumb to relate your problems to a stranger.
Nia would flip over this I think that the universe thinks I deserve to be happy for once in my life.
"So spitting on his grave is a bad idea?" I playfully asked.
He bursted into laughter he laughs like an angel. I joined in too this felt right to me but I did not want this to go any further I like going slow.
I feel like it's going too fast and I might get hurt in the end.
"Do you know the first time we met I felt like tearing you apart" I liked being honest with him.
"But you enjoyed the ride?" He asked still laughing.
"I thought you were my assassin!" I didn't realise when I added that part.
"You'd kill me first cause if looks could kill is be six free under by now" Green eyes said.
"You know that i started calling you fallen Angel" he said.
"Really I started calling you green eyes" I admitted it to him hit was like a truth session or something like that.
"What made you call me fallen angel?" I had to ask.
"Cause you're too pretty to have been human" green eyes romantically said but he sounded serious.
"Stop it! You are a pretty good sweet talker aren't you" I was enjoying the compliments.
"Am serious! You're really pretty I knew it from the moment I first heard you on the road that day.
I was running late and real pissed off at the idiot who crashed my car. But when I saw you I suddenly didn't feel angry you made me calm under a minute" his confession was similar to what happened to me that day.
He melts my anger and anxieties he lets me think properly. He might just be the perfect best friend for me other than Nia.
I got a reminder on my phone I had to be home in a few minutes. I didn't want to go but I had to.
"Sorry but I gotta go thanks for cheering me up" I saw the long look on his face. He also stood up and to my suprise held up my hand and kissed it passionately.
He slowly turned around and left me I felt happy but also felt this emptiness in me
Melendez P.O.V
I think I overdid it but at least I made her laugh which is really nice to hear. But all good things must end anyways, so I had to leave also.
It was good that I met her it helped me get my mind off that Mrs Bowen, such an irresponsible woman.
But I was feeling generous tonight so I would sign those papers anyways and do business with them.
I wasn't leaving without a kiss so I held up her hand and kissed it.
Now I could sleep well at night dreaming of her. Yeah I dream of her get over it!
I can't believe it she actually blushed! Thought that only happened in high school movies. I had to leave and check up on Thea hope she's still at home. As sad as I felt I left but I knew this was not our last meet.
Mindys P.O.V
I got home dancing to my favourite song playing on the radio.
Then that crazy woman came in running her dirty mouth.
This is how cinderella felt after the ball so blissful.
She got a notification on her phone.
She looked scared after looking at her phone. She must have got my gift to her it felt good to get my revenge.
I hacked her account and drained all her money she was penniless and if am not mistaken her house is mortgaged.
She knelt down and began pleading with me for my forgiveness that she needs her job back.
I laughed and simply told her ok only if she stays away from Mark and the foolish woman agreed.
"Am back in business baby!"I said in celebration.
Soooory for the super late update too much work. I will try not to be so busy and update more often. Thanks for reading!!!
