*In the morning*
*Stephen's POV*
I woke up, did my workout routine, took a bath and went to Melanie's room "Was she still sleeping but she always wakes up early" I knocked on her door many times but she didn't reply I had a feeling that something was wrong so I opened the door and she wasn't in her room so I went to check whether she was in the bathroom she wasn't there too it was just Zeke sleeping on the bed . Her all stuff was gone She was gone.
Stephen: EVERYONE COME DOWN IN THE HALL *I screamed furiously*
Mia: Urgh! another bad morning
Camilla: What happened? Something wrong? Stephen: Melanie's Gone
Ava: What? What do you mean by gone?
Stephen: She left
Pulami: Thank God she left this is the best news I've heard this morning.
Stephen: You Shut up! she left because of you because you blamed for what she didn't do Pulami: She didn't have any proof it means she stole it
Stephen: You might not know but this house has hidden cameras only the personal rooms don't have any so I saw you putting that bracelet in Melanie's room.
Pulami: Its actually your fault because no one trusted her or believed her
*To be honest she was right I was the one who didn't believe her. She took care of me when no one was there, she made me laugh, she gave me a reason to fight for again and I- I just lost her* Stephen: Everyone find her 𝐢𝐧 𝐚 𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐤 or y'all are getting fired.
*Hudson Aniston's (Melanie's Father) POV*
She ran away again and I just know the perfect way to bring her back 𝐢𝐧 𝐚 𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐤.
*Melanie's POV*
I thought about everything I did i think it was wrong of me to run away like that everyone makes right so I thought to go back but after spending a week here a clearing my head with everything that has been happening to me from last 2 months. I am thinking of visiting my aunt today it's been a long time since I've met her I called Stephen ASAP
Melanie: Hello- Stephen
Stephen: Hello Melanie Where are you and why did you disappear without telling me are you okay?
Melanie: That's too many questions at once First of all I am fine Second of all I am in Canada I just wanted to be away from you and clear my head
Stephen: Yo-You wanted to be away from me Listen I apologise for not trusting you but please come back to me.
Melanie: I will after a week . i wanna spend some time here.
Stephen: You promise you will come back Melanie: Of course now I have to go bye Stephen: Bye! Be safe.
Stephen: Lucas tell everyone Melanie has been found and tell them not to disturb me for the next 5 hours .
Lucas: Yes Boss.
*The fact that she wanted to be away from me breaks my heart. I am never letting her go again because now I know how it feels when she's away from me*
*Hearing his voice break when I told him I wanted to be away from him aches my heart it was all my mistake everything I have ever done is run away but this time I am not gonna do it I am gonna face all my problems*
*I visited her house but she wasn't there I guess I'll leave her a message so that she meets me at the club the next day after that I travelled all day*
*The next day I got a call from an unknown number telling me my father died Am I sad,happy,angry? I don't know what to feel I rushed to my father's Villa. My mother was crying her eyes out like she loved him I know it's all an act*
Sabrina: My lovely daughter you're back
*My mother tries to hug me but I block her* Melanie: Father aren't you gonna welcome your daughter
Sabrina: What are you talking about HE'S DEAD Melanie: cut the act mother you wanted me to come here right I am here. I know you're alive father come out of your hiding now.
Hudson: So you figured that I am not dead huh? Melanie: Cut the crap and tell me what you want?
Hudson: I want you to marry Gary's son.
Melanie: And who do you think you are to control me You're not the boss of me
Hudson: Oh you will marry him or you know what will happen dearly daughter
Melanie: No you controlled me before but not any more I don't even consider you guys as my parents and go on if you can stop me . Goodbye I hope to never see your faces again.
Hudson: Oh you will come back so how's Stephen? Melanie: How do you know about him?
Hudson: Honey you forgot who your father is Melanie: Don't you dare do anything to him Hudson: Oh well! Time will decide that .
Melanie: Mother I thought for once that you might have changed in alm those years but no you're still the same I hoped that for once you'll be there for me once. Silent as expected. Goodbye the best parents in the world.
*I have to save Stephen I immediately got home,packed my bags and booked a flight back to New York. No flight was available today so I had to book for tomorrow. I changed my clothes and went to that club and hoped Aunt Sara would be there*
*At the club*
Sara: Here's my favourite niece
Melanie: Aunt I am your only niece
Sara: Oh whatever so who's the boy and what did my sister do again?
Melanie: Wait how did you know it was about a boy and my parents again.
Sara: Oh come on I know you better than your mother
Melanie: You sure do
*Aunt Sara is my mother's sister they are complete opposites and I always tell her all my secrets. She's the cool aunt everyone wants*
