" No, I killed her! I killed her, she asked me to take me with her. But I... But I was selfish! When I knew her parents weren't there I should have..." He started lamenting about what all happened and how guilty he is.
Mellina listened to him quietly to whatever he said just by rubbing his back and caressing his head.
She could feel him. His speech became slurry indicating that he is gonna pass out.
" Ry..." That stopped him.
" Mel!" He said in the voice filled with emotion.
His hands around her tightened pulling herself into him There ran a shiver all over his body.
Mellina felt the goose pimple arise in her body because of the intensity of the emotion in his voice.
There was an innocence in his voice, his voice sounded like a lost child's voice, with fear in it.
" Ry! Why are you crying Ry?" The trick worked, now she knew how to calm him.
" I lost you, Mel! I am sorry!" He said as he tightened her into him, the tightness pained her but she didn't have any other choice.
It wouldn't be empathetic if she pushes him, so she just shut her eyes tightly.
" You didn't do any wrong Ry! It was just your situation! I am good, you know?" She said as she caressed his back.
" Really?" He asked.
" Yes, Ry! It was not your fault, you shouldn't blame yourself! I won't blame you, Ry!" She said softly.
There was no answer from his side.
" Ry, will you do whatever I say?" She asked still rubbing his back.
" I will do whatever you want, Mel! But promise me you will be with me always!" He asked as he rubbed his face in her neck.
Mellina thought for a second but again this is all for his well-being.
" Yes, Ry! I will not go anywhere, I will be with you! But for now, will you sleep, Ry?" She asked in a soft voice.
" Will you be with me?"
" I am with you Ry!" She rubbed his back.
He was silent for minutes.
" Ryan, let's get you to the bed!" She patted his bad.
He didn't reply to anything.
" Come on, let's go!" She somehow dragged him to his room.
He slurred incoherently as she dragged him.
" Is he a Human or what? Weighs like some mountain!" She sighed as he laid on the bed.
She adjusted the temperature and tucked him in the duet.
As she was about to get out of the room, he started calling for her. No! He was calling his Mel.
" Mel, where are you? Mel, Mel!" Tears started to flow from his closed eyes.
" I am here Ry! I am here!" She sat on the bed near him and caressed his hair.
" Don't leave me, Mel! Mel, I am sorry!" He pleaded with her.
" I am not going anywhere! I am here, I am here with you!" She whispered.
He caught her hand and hugged it to him.
She sighed sat near him. She thought he will let go of it once he dozes off but it only tightened more when she tried to remove it from him.
With no more thoughts, she laid beside him.
In exhaustion, she fell asleep soon.
Parker's Residence,
Vivaan, Felicia, and Ryan's father Peter Emanuel Parker sat there in the living room for the argument.
" Vivaan, who is she? Why is she with my son?" Felicia yelled at Vivaan.
" She is his manager!" He said.
" She doesn't behave like one! When I went there, I caught them in an awkward position, when I questioned her about this she had the guts to speak back and she kissed him IN FRONT OF ME?!" She yelled.
In their family, she is the brat!
"Felicia, kindly say what can I do for you?" He asked with a tired sigh.
" I want you to fire her!" She said folding her hands to her chest.
" Fire her? Ha! Hahaha! Hahahaa!" Do you think firing is that easy?" He asked with a chuckle.
" Don't irritate me Vivaan! Just fire her Vivaan!" She said stubbornly.
" I can't, Felicia!" He said in a strict tone.
" Why?" She asked angrily.
" Because I really can't unless and until Ryan does! She is his employee! She is HIS manager, how could you ask me to do it?"
" But I don't want her anywhere near my son!" She said stubbornly.
Her stubbornness.
" But why?" Vivaan asked.
" She would seduce my son!" She complained.
Both Vivaan and Peter started laughing like there is no tomorrow.
" Do you really know what you are speaking? Seducing him? You know him, he is no an innocent one who would get seduced he had seen an infinite number of women, she's just one in them you shouldn't bother about her!" He tried brushing off the matter.
" No, I found something in their eyes! I know what it meant and that Isabella, said something. He doesn't allow anyone to call him as Ryan expect you but she calls him Ryan." More than to them she said to herself.
" If that's the case, shouldn't you be feeling happy? He, at last, has one rather than having random one-night stands?" Vivaan asked.
" No, I will not let them be together! My Melissa only will marry him, she will be my daughter-in-law!" She was extremely stubborn, she didn't care about her son's happiness and all, but she wants whatever she wishes.
" He is not your toy, Felicia! He is an individual person! There is a boundary for everything!" Peter warned her.
" He is my son and I can do whatever I want, in his life! I gave birth to him, I have raised him, I have the right to decide his life!" She defended herself.
" We gave birth to him, that's true. But we raised him? Did you raise him? When exactly did that happen?" He let out a bitter chuckle.
" He grew himself! I was busy building this empire I thought you would take care of him, but I am such a bad father who couldn't even satisfy his son's emotional needs. All his life he longed for love and care. All we could give is money and that he never asked a penny after 15. Now tell me what right do you have in his life? " He yelled in despair.
