*In the morning*
I woke up with an empty bed. WHERE DID ZEKE GO?!! I heard the shower in my bathroom. Who was in the shower? I opened the door and saw Stephen giving zeke a bath. How cute they looked. Can't believe if he wanted a puppy so bad why did he deny it.
Stephen: Good Morning beautiful.
Melanie: You knew I was standing here.
Stephen: Of course belle.
Melanie: Do you need help?
Stephen: Ya sure.
*Ilunga's POV*
I went to check where Stephen was. He wasn't in his room, WHERE DID HE GO? I don't know why but I went to check Melanie's room. They both were not in their rooms. That's when I heard some chuckling coming from Melanie's bathroom. I went there and saw both Stephen and Melanie chuckling and bathing a puppy. Wait a minute where did that puppy come from. Without wasting another second I took a picture of that wholesome moment. I think she is the one for Stephen.
Illunga: OMG! YOU GUYS BOUGHT A PUPPY AND DIDN'T EVEN THINK OF TELLING ME.
Melanie: Hey Illunga Good morning. Can you please pass me the towel?
Illunga: Ok. *I wrapped the pup in a towel and ran away with it*
Melanie: WHERE ARE YOU TAKING MY ZEKE?
Stephen: Calm down he is just a little too excited.
*Illunga went straight to the kitchen and screamed for everyone to come down to the kitchen*
Mia: What the hell do you want Illunga? its 9 in the morning.
Illunga: We have a new member.
Michael: We've already met Melanie and Tia.
Illunga: No not them. Its mm.... YO MEL WHAT'S HIS NAME.
Melanie: Zeke.
Illunga: Oh yea! Everyone meet Zeke.
EVERYONE: WHERE DID THIS CUTE PUPPY COME FROM?
Tia: Oh I know! Melanie you bought it right?Melanie: Absolutely correct.
Camilla: He is so cute! But why big bro and Melanie are wet.
Illunga: They were giving Zeke a bath. That's why he is wrapped in a towel so he doesn't get cold.
Ava: Hey mel why don't we girls go shopping today. We'll buy some clothes and accessories for Zeke too.
Melanie: That's a great idea.
Ava: Ok so its settled today me, you, ,tia, camilla and mia are going to shopping.
Tia: Yea I really nees some new clothes.
Stephen: Don't forget to take the bodyguards and your guns with you. Melanie meet me in my office after you're done bathing.
Melanie: Sure.
*I took a bath, ate some granola bars and went to his office*
Stephen: Welcome. Here take this gun with you while you shop.
Melanie: But I don't really know how to use it.
Stephen: But you used it yesterday.
Melanie: But I only pulled the trigger nothing else.
Stephen: Follow me.
*He took me to a shooting range and taught me the basics to be honest it was kinda badass when I hit the bullseye three times*
Stephen: You were pretty good.
Melanie: I didn't even know it myself.
Stephen: So here take your gun .
Melanie: Its different from the previous one, it has rose design on it, it's just beautiful.
Stephen: Keep it as a gift.
*He winked*
Melanie: Ok thanks.
Mia: Come on mel let's go.
Melanie: COMING! Thank you again MR. JAMES.
*Stephen's POV*
Damn! the way she said my name turned me on. I'll just go and take a cold bath.
Melanie: We all went to a shopping mall which wasn't really far away and we also bought Zeke with us. We bought a lot of clothes and supplies for Zeke. Later we went to a restaurant. We all were chatting and laughing and then a waiter gave me a piece of paper.
Ava: oooo girl is that his number?
*It wasn't any number it said "I am coming for you"*
Mia: What happened? Why do you look so pale?
*I stood up and ran away crying straight to the mansion . I need to run away from this place I don't want anything to happen to Stephen. Just when I thought I was happy he came back again. I didn't even notice someone was standing behind me*
Stephen: What happened baby? Why are you crying?
Melanie: I have to leave.
Stephen: Wait no Did I do something wrong?
Melanie: No you didn't. He is coming and I don't want him to hurt you and your loved ones.
Stephen:Who is "he"? tell me beautiful.
Melanie: I am a mess I don't want you to get involved with me. I will never have happiness.
Stephen: Baby listen to me I'm here for you okay and we'll handle this mess together ok?
*I showed him the piece of paper*
Melanie: He is my father. He caused these scars and this very mess.
Stephen: I WILL KILL HIM
Melanie: Please calm down Stephen. He is very dangerous and I am afraid this time I won't survive.
Stephen: I will not let any harm come to you ok?
Melanie: What if something happens to you?
Stephen: Nothing will happen to me I promise I will fix this mess.
*He hugged me tightly like he wanted to say "Don't leave please" I hugged him back*
Tia: Mel what happened why did you ran off crying is it because of him?
Melanie: Yes he is coming for me.
Tia: Omg what will you do? Do you want me to run away with you?
Stephen: No she's not running away this time . I will keep her safe.
Melanie: Oh shit I totally forgot Zeke. Let me get him.
Tia: Ok she's gone. Listen lover boy if you hurt her I will chop your **** off you understand?
Stephen: I would never hurt her "you understand?"
Tia: Good.
Melanie: Oh Zeke I am so sorry I left you.
Zeke: Woof! Woof!
Melanie: Come on let's get you to eat something.
*In the warehouse*
Stephen: Everyone of you will make sure of Melanie's safety.
Michael: Why though what happened?
Stephen: Her father is coming to get her.
Michael: So then let's give her to him.
Stephen: NOOOOO He abuses her and treats her like a toy. What if that happened to your girl huh?
Michael: I am sorry but is your girlfriend?
Stephen: No but still you all will protect her and if anyone of fails to do it I'll make them suffer to death.
