Chapter Five

After a while , Clinton woke up and the storm was now calm . His fever had calmed down and he was no longer shivering.

Liza could now see that ,he was back to normal. His temperature was okay !

"Liza !"He called out in his soft voice passionately.

It wasn't the perfect time to ask him questions so Liza ignored his long talks and prepared some food for him .

"It's better for you to take rest instead of talking .Have this herbal tea ! It's really going to help you a lot especially with your headache !

I know you will feel hungry and that's why I prepared pasta salad for you .I also know that you like it a lot !

I made it from two types of pasta ,almost always chilled ,and I tossed in vinegar ,oil , and mayonnaise -based dressing !

I know you will love it ..!"Liza said , rubbing her hands on his cheeks while feeding him .

"I'm satisfied!" Clinton said ,sitting upright on the bed .

"What do you mean by that ?

This is the sixth spoon you've eaten and so you can't be satisfied!

If you don't eat properly ,you will get sick and you will look pale just like you look now !

Come on ,drop your stubbornness and childishness and eat some more !"

Liza gently persuaded him into eating all of the pasta salad and after he was done ,he fell asleep .

She rubbed some oil into his hair and began to massage it for him .It was soft and thicker than hers.

"How could a man's hair have such qualities ?"She asked herself ,giggling .

She then felt bad looking at him in that condition and wondered what drove him to such a condition .

Liza didn't know what it was but she was willing to wait for him till he tells her everything .

After a while , Clinton 's phone rang and Liza answered it hastily .

"H-hello!"She hesitated for a while .

"It's good you answered my call darling !I need some money and I know you are the only one who can give me such an amount !

If you don't ,then i will tell your fiancée about what happened !

You know what women like me are like right ?

You don't use me and dump me easily !

I will text you the address and I hope you will be there by seven PM this evening !"Melody said ,in her croaky voice .

Liza heaved a sigh of relief and rubbed her hand into her hair in absolute confusion .

"It was Melody ! But what was she trying to say ?

No Liza ,think !"Liza said ,hitting her forehead hard .

"Clinton can never cheat on you with anyone else !

Impossible!"Liza said , just to assure herself but her instincts still had doubts .

"Melody could just do anything to fulfill her challenge !

But what if something truly went on between them ,huh ?

I guess that is the main reason why Clinton is in this state !"Liza thought ,taking a look at Clinton who was fast asleep .

"Are you cheating on me ,darling ? I hope you're not because if you are , then you know the consequences will be bad !"Liza said ,rubbing her thumb on his cheeks .

"However ,whatever being the case , I will get to the root of this issue before I pass my judgement!"Liza muttered to herself .

.. ..

"Tonight ,I will end everything between you and Liza and after that ,I will trap you in such a condition that ,you will never be able to get out of !"Melody said with a smirk on her face then took out her phone to make an urgent call .

"Hello !" She said ,in a croaky and decisive voice .

"If you want to see what your fiance is really like ,then meet me at the location that I'm going to text you tonight at seven PM !"She said ,and called off the call quickly.

.. ..

"Hello ..hello !"Liza said at her end but the call was already called off .

"Swine !" She said angrily .

"I see ! Wow Melody ! Wow ! Nice plot ! You thought I wouldn't recognize your voice ,huh?!

You're not so smart as you consider yourself to be !

Ha!

If Melody is ready to play mind games with me then I will play along too !

I don't know what it is you're planning Melody , but I will not let you get your way in this game !

Just wait and see the trick I play on you after which , you'd fall sadly at my feet and call me the game changer !"

Liza quickly took Clinton's phone and deleted the call log and messages that he had received from Melody .

She didn't want him to know about it and she wasn't going to take the risk of making any mistake of judging Clinton without any solid evidence .

"As an attorney , i should only defend the things that are true and that to ,with solid evidence to stand on !"Liza muttered to herself and then took him home .

..*MELODY'S POV *..

"Tonight Liza ! I will expose Clinton right in front of you and drive you away from him forever !

I will get my revenge and I will be a millionaire in no time !

Ha !

After Liza and Clinton get separated ,I know Clinton would hate me for the rest of his life but after three months ,he will have no choice but to marry me because he will take the blame for my pregnancy !

As far as he believes that something went on between us ,I still stand a chance with him !

Superb Melody ,superb ! "Melody joyfully said ,throwing her body onto her comfy bed and looking into the air .

.. ..

The day had already gone down when Clinton woke up from his sleep with a sprain at his lower back .

His mother was sitting right in front of him when he woke up .

"Argh !"He said ,sitting up on his bed .

"Mum! Who brought me home ?"He asked ,rubbing his hand on his face .

"Liza did !"Hazel answered brusquely .

"Ha ! Are we cool ,mum ?"Clinton asked ,rolling his eyes at her and she did same too .

"It's good she was there to take care of you !

You are alright now thanks to her !"Hazel added ,with a serious face .

"Oh mine ! I know what's wrong now ! You're upset because I didn't call you right ?

I'm sorry ! Don't be angry anymore or else your face will wrinkle!"Clinton said jokingly .

"I'm cool ! But you'd have to compensate me for making me so worried !

And by the way , I've got more years to spend on earth amongst humans because my ancient blood is strong ; they contain no wrinkles , you naughty boy !"Hazel poked his nose and planted a kiss on his cheeks .

"That's like my mum now ! By the way , where's Liza ?"Clinton asked his mum while pushing some cherries into his mouth .

"She left soon after she brought you home ! She was quite in a hurry and didn't even want to stay after a second .

I guess she had some important issues to take care of !

Take care ! I've also got some important issues to take care of !"Hazel said ,and silently walked through the door .

"Important issue ?"Clinton asked himself in a state of absolute confusion .

.. ..

"Hey babe ! Why do you have a dull face ,huh?

What has your lover boy done this time around to trouble you ,huh ?

Tell me and I will put him in his place by teaching him a good lesson !"Jean said , facepalming Liza who was sitting on her bed with doubts on her face .

"Do I even know ? No i don't ,Jean! Nonetheless, I don't want to doubt Clinton's love and trust !

I fought so hard for him and I won't let him go this time around !

I need to find out what the truth actually is before I judge him !

Jean ,I need your help !"Liza said , helplessly .

"Anything for you Liza ! I will do anything for you even if you don't ask me !"Jean said ,with a smile .

..*MELODY'S POV* ..

Melody waited irritatingly and anxiously for Clinton's and Liza's arrival as per her plan but her plan seemed to be failing since it had taken too much time for them to arrive .

"Why is Clinton taking so long to arrive ,huh ?!

It's been an hour since I stood here and neither him nor that stupid Liza is here !

What is wrong with both of them ?!

How dare them waste my time ?!"Melody stumped her feet angrily .

"I'm here Melody!"Clinton said ,from behind .

"What is it you want to tell me ?!"Clinton asked ,wearing a serious face .

"Clinton ! I knew you would definitely come!"She said , hugging him tightly but Clinton's expression towards that was that of absolute nuisance and disgust.

"Sorry for being late ! This is the money you asked for !

It can take care of you for months !"He said ,throwing the backpack full of money to her feet .

Melody grinned when she saw that backpack land at her feet .

"Thank you very much love ! If you follow my rules , Liza won't get to know that you and I spent the night together last night !

It can be our little secret !

I know you will say that you don't recall anything but images and videos don't lie !

Before you think of cutting me off ,you should know that there is a strong evidence against you !

Don't think that I'm selfish Clinton but I'm just protecting myself !

This amount of money will help me dearly so have a good night !"Melody said ,taking the backpack away happily .

"You don't change the game ,Melody ! I do !"Clinton muttered with a smile on his face .
