chapter 17

*Married *

The next day **

Melody was the first one to wake up. "mmh " Melody yawned and got out of bed, she went to the bathroom and took a shower. After ten minutes, she was dressed up, and she walked out of the room heading to Alexander's room. She opened the door but the sight that welcomed her surprised her. Alexander's legs were on top of Brian, while Brian's legs were hanging down the bed. Melody moved closer to the bed, she was hesitant to shake Brian, " Mr. Williams wakes up " Melody said, shaking his arm. Brian opened his eyes, and his gaze met Melody. " Good morning, I'm sorry, I don't know when I fell asleep," Brian said, rubbing his forehead. Melody nodded her head " Don't worry sir, you can go and take a shower, I've asked my assistant to arrange clothes for you " Melody said.

Brian grinned ear to ear listening to Melody `` Thank you so much, I will get going" Brian, said getting off the bed.

Melody forced a smile " Okay sir, I will wait for you in the dining room, we need to talk before he wakes up " Melody said.

Brian felt his heart beat racing, he knew exactly what she wanted to talk about " I will go first " Brian said and went straight to the bathroom.

Melody let out a long sigh " This son of mine will be the end of me one day " Melody thought, she did not wake Alexander up, she wanted to talk to Brian before he woke up, she knew how troublesome her son could be. She walked out of the room, closing the door behind her.

After 10 minutes Brian was done taking a bath and changing into new clothes, he walked out of the room, and found Melody sitting on the chair at the dining table, he sat on the chair facing Melody.

"uh," he cleared his throat, grabbing Melody's attention.

He was hesitant to talk at first but he had no other choice.

" You see, I don't like seeing Alexander sad, that's why I agree to marry you, I will do anything to make him happy," Brian said, glancing at Melody quickly and looking away, he wanted to see her facial expressions and read her mind. But, he found nothing.

Melody lowered her brows, she knew even if she was not ready to get married, she had to for the sake of her son " I don't mind marrying you, but you must give me some time. I was not ready for all this " Melody said.

A small smile builds upon Brian's face, but he did not want to make it obvious. " I understand, we all want to see Alexander happy at the end of the day, don't worry I will give you the time you need, " Brian said.

A slow smile appeared on Melody's face. " Thank you for understanding," Melody said. Brian's words unexpectedly released all the tension that was in Melody's heart.

" I will go and wake Alexander up," Melody said, standing up and walking out of the dining table.

Melody went to the bathroom and bathed her son, she had already ordered breakfast, and after she was done, the three of them ate breakfast, and in no time they were going to the Home Affairs to register their marriage.

Alexander smiled when they were out of the Home Affairs" I'm happy that you are married, I have a dad and a mom, isn't this great? " He said.

Melody forced a smile "That's good if you are happy my child " Melody said.

Brian smiled "it's time for you to go to school now, I will drop you off, I've already called my driver," he said

" Well then I will go to the office, I have a lot of work to do I will see you at night " Melody said

Alexander smiled " have a good day mom," he said. The three of them walked where their cars were, but before they could enter, someone appeared in front of them.

Brian's face turned white, looking at the man in front of them, he knew that the king sent him " Who are you?" Brian asked, looking at him.

The man snorted looking at the three of them " I came here to take the child, it's either I kill him and his mother or take him with me " The man said sternly.

Melody grabbed Alexander's hand and hid him behind her back, trying to protect him. " Who are you, who sent you here? " Melody asked, her voice shaking.

The man closed his eyes for a brief moment and clapped his hands together, Alexander was no longer behind Melody and the man disappeared with Alexander.

" Nooo, my baby! " Melody screamed while looking around, but the man was already gone.

Brian rubbed his eyes, hiding his tears, he knew how helpless the situation was, he knew that the King was more powerful than vampires" Calm down Melody, " Brian said, walking towards Melody and wrapping his long arm around her.

Melody opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but no words came out, she sobbed, she was confused, heartbroken she did not know why the man took her child nor did she know why he appeared and disappeared at the same time. " Please my baby I can't live without him, how will I find him ?" Melody cried, gripping her hand on Brians's shirt until her knuckles turned white.

Brian's heart ached, and he hugged Melody tightly " I'm sorry," Brian said, he made Melody unconscious, and he teleported himself to his family's house. He wanted to talk to the Prophet to ask for help.

" Brian, what happened to my daughter-in-law? " Naina stood up rapidly running towards Brian who was at the door, the shock was evident in her eyes.

Brian looked at his mother, his chin shivering " Mom my son is gone, please call the Prophet here, and bring her to my room " Brian said walking upstairs.

Naina widened her eyes hearing what her son was saying, " I will bring her now " Naina said.

Patricia swallowed hard in her heart in pain, it was like someone was stabbing her 100 times. She waited for Brian to love her for 5 years, but he never looked at her even once, but he was crying for someone else. she clenched her hand into fists, looking at Brian who was walking upstairs.

Naina shot Patricia a deadly glare " don't even think about giving her a hard time or else you will face my wrath " Naina said and followed Brian upstairs.

Naina entered the room the Prophet followed behind her.

Brian stood up as soon as he saw the Prophet with his mother " Prophet my son is gone, do you have any idea why? " Brian asked, he did not even greet her.

The prophet was visibly sweating, she knew there was no way out. " We can't do anything, we have to tell Melody the truth about herself so that she can go underwater to fight for her son " The prophet said.

Brian knew that there was no way out for him to get his son other than telling Melody the truth " But, she will hate me if I tell her the truth "Brian said, he knew that he must tell her the truth for the sake of his son.

Naina looked at her son with pain in her eyes " You have to do it dear " she said before Brian could reply

Melody jerked and sat on the bed " My baby! "she sobbed
