Melanie left for the living room upstairs a few minutes after she finished eating her food.
She entered Flynn's room and met the man about to unbutton his shirt.
''You should try knocking? Well, I don't mind if you see me naked, but will you be fine?'' Flynn smirked and Melanie scoffed.
''Oh, please, you have no idea the kind of joy that comes with barging into someone's room.''
''Till you walk in to see my nakedness,'' Flynn smiled.
''Whatever,'' Melanie yawned as she settled on his bed.
At times, this lady acts like she was the one who claimed him.
Hell! She ought to be scared of him!
''Melanie,'' Flynn called out as he removed the shirt leaving his singlet.
''Yes,'' Melanie answered.
''Why are you not scared of me? The fact that I'm using your mother against you should at least hold you down. You think I was just bluffing?'' Flynn asked.
''Yes,'' Melanie said bluntly and crossed her legs.
''What!?'' Flynn furrowed his brow.
''Number one, if you were mad at what I did, I believe you should have killed me as soon as you tracked me down...'' Melanie started and stood from the bed and started walking towards Flynn.
''Did you have feelings for me, Mr. Harlan? According to what I know, no woman had ever stood up to you the way I did, but I did yet you didn't get mad. You have feelings for me?'' Melanie asked as she folded her arms across her chest.
''I did not know you were too dumb to think I have feelings for YOU! Excuse me, you are not my type. You have no idea how much I resent you. For not killing you when I found you, I wanted a situation to come whereby I'll be able to trap you forever. Then, a rumor spread out recently saying I was gay, you wouldn't expect me to sit and watch my reputation ruin before me, right? I've been building my reputation for a decade and you think I'll ruin it. I've studied you for six months and I believe it would be better to trap you since you owe me a debt. Then, I made you my possession,'' Flynn smirked coldly at Melanie.
''What a nice epistle, Mr. Flynn Harlan,'' Melanie clapped her hands together.
What!?
Epistle?
Did this lady just call his words epistle!?
Wow, unbelievable!
''I believe you can't kill my mother and me now that I'm already engaged to you. Why? People will get suspicious,'' Melanie stuck her tongue out at Flynn and burst into laughter.
''You think people will get suspicious? Oh, please,'' Flynn laughed and Melanie stared at his face closely.
Flynn was very handsome and she would never lie to herself that she wasn't falling for him.
Huh! Laughter is a very good medicine.
Melanie shook her head.
''I'll kill you slowly, you think I'll kill you physically? I'll make your intestine decay till death and I'll make it seems like your mother committed suicide. No one will ever think it was murder!'' Flynn said.
He didn't know what he said could get the young lady till he felt her palm on his cheek.
Wait, did she just slap him!?
''How ruthless!'' Melanie whispered shouted as her face clouded in anger.
And Flynn knew he had offended her.
Well, who cares.
But he was only trying to piss her off.
One thing she did not know is that Flynn had no intention of killing Melinda, not even Devon knew.
''I'm sorry,'' he heard himself say.
Did he just apologize to a woman!?
Wow, this is shit!
''I mean... I didn't mean to apologize, I mean...''
Oh, fvck, what the hell was he saying now?
Melanie shook her head and walked out of his room.
''Wait, Mel,'' Flynn wanted to go after her but stopped again.
Did he just call her Mel instead of Melanie?
Flynn... You're so fvcked up.
Melanie sat on the bed and sighed for the umpteenth time.
Was Flynn going to kill her that way?
She suddenly imagined Flynn adding white substances in her juice which was going to kill her.
Snapping out of her imagination, she screamed, ''Ahhhh! You son of a b!tch!''
Melanie ran her hands through her hair aggressively and rolled on the bed muttering incoherently.
When her mother said Flynn was a big deal, she didn't think this way!
''I'm sorry I stole from you!'' Melanie started crying.
''I used the money for something very important,'' She wailed.
''If I could pay you back, I would, but since I can not, does making me your bride going to return the money I stole from you, you uncircumcised bastard!''
Melanie cried rolling on the bed.
''I did not know I have such ungodly names,'' Flynn entered the room.
He heard everything she said and he wished she was going to say what she used the money for out of anger.
''What are you doing in my room?'' Melanie sat up as she wiped the tears off her face.
''You can barge into my room but I can't?'' Flynn asked as he settled on the bed.
''Let's make a deal,'' Flynn suggested.
''Why should we make a deal?'' Melanie asked, obviously still annoyed as her arms were folded across her chest.
''I'm a businessman, and I make living out of deals,'' Flynn smirked.
''I'll stop using your mother against you on a condition that you're never-ending this marriage. We. Will. Never. Get. A. Divorce,'' Flynn said and Melanie widened her eyes.
Was this tycoon kidding her?
''Really?'' Melanie jumped out of the bed and stood in front of him.
''Yes,'' Flynn said and looked away.
''Deal!'' Melanie screamed and rushed to hug him.
Flynn widened his eyes as his head touched the bed and the lady didn't seem to care.
Flynn said nothing and wrapped his arm around her tiny waist.
Melanie suddenly realized what was going on and wanted to stand up but Flynn didn't let her go.
''What are you doing?'' Melanie whispered as her face met with his.
The gap between them wasn't even up to an inch.
''What does it seems like we're doing?'' Flynn smiled, his breath fanning her face.
''Flynn...'' Melanie groaned, getting uncomfortable with the heat in her body.
What was this tycoon doing to her?
''Fly...''
Melanie was cut short when Flynn's lips touched her own.
She widened her eyes in surprise then gave in to the kiss.
Closing her eyes, she left Flynn to take full control over her lips.
TBC...
