Chapter 22

**Back home **

Melody pulled away from the hug, her pulse was pounding, and she could not describe the feeling, she was feeling, she did not want to forgive Brian, she wanted nothing but to live her peaceful life with her son, she knew if she give Brian a chance, her life will change for bad to worse. " Brian, I don't want to be with you, I want an amicable life with my son, I don't think I need a man in my life " Melody declared, after giving it a thought.

Brian sends Melody a long pained look and breaks eye contact. She always finds a way to break his heart no matter what, but he has already made up his mind "Melody, don't forget, I used my 1 million rands to buy you from your Auntie, I will only give you 1 month to prepare your mind, after that, you and Alexander will live here, and I will also ask for a Prophet to prepare for our wedding ceremony " Brian said, he knew what he was doing will make her hate him even more, but he did not care, she was his soul mate, how can he live without her, even if she hates him, he won't mind as long as, she is close to him.

Melody widened her eyes, shaking her head in disbelief, he was just begging her just now, but now he was threatening her, " I will not do such a thing, just because I'm your soulmate, I have to be your wife, even without my consent, this is all nonsense, I'm not gonna do such nonsense" Melody said, she did not want to marry Brian, how can she marry such a person, who is threatening her, she did not want to make such a mistake.

Brian's muscles quivered in anger, he could not let go of her no matter what, even if she hates him. " Think about it carefully, if you don't want to marry and live with me, I will take my son, it's your choice," Brian said, he got up from the bad and glared at Melody for a brief moment, " Think carefully, I won't think twice before taking him away from you," He said and walked out of the room.

Melody opened her mouth to say something, but no words came out of her mouth, tears flowing from her, she hugged her knees, she hated it when she felt this helpless, she knew that she can't lose her son. " I will go far away, where he won't find me, I can't let him control my life as this " Melody said, she closed her eyes, and in no time Alexander appeared in front of her

" Mommy, why did you call me, " Alexander asked. He raised his eyebrows when he saw tears on her face.

Melody swallowed hard trying to stop her tears, she did not want to tell her son that his father just threatened her just now " We should leave now " Melody said, getting off the bed.

Alexander frowned, in confusion " Mom, aren't you happy here? our granny is also here, don't you want to live with her '' he asked, frowning even more.

Cocking her head to the side, she wiped her tears, she could not let her son see her in this state " We will take her with us " she said, she closed her eyes again and her mother appeared in front of her.

"I will take us to my house, " Melody said, without even giving her mother a chance to speak, they disappeared.

Brian went to the garden when he went out, he wanted to cool off his mind, his heart aches at the thought of Melody's rejection, he loved her with all his heart, and he could not live without her, walking to the nearest bench, he sat down, he covers his face with his hands.

" Brian, why do you force her to love you, why can't you love me as you love her, what does she have that I don't? please forget about her and give us another chance " Patricia said sitting next to Brian, she could not watch Brian looking so hopeless because of a woman who does not love him, while she loved him.

Brian opened his eyes, he raised his eyebrow glaring at Patricia, annoyance was evident on his face " Do you really want to know? "Brian asked sarcastically.

Patricia clutched her hands together before nodding her head, she wanted to know what Melody has that she doesn't have.

Brian paused for a long time before, saying" She is not loose like you, she is not desperate like you, she does not beg me to love her like you, she does not do the chasing but I'm the one chasing her that's the difference between you two " Brian said nonchalantly. He stood up and walked away without looking back.

Patricia gripped the side of her head as if trying to cover her ears, Brian's words kept on ringing in her ears like it was music " How... can he say such anything like that to me " Patricia sobbed she loved Brian for a long time, she could not accept him being with someone else, it was like someone was jabbing her 100 times, how can he say such a thing to her, she could not handle hearing all this from him.

...

Melody, Alexander, and Amelia appeared in Melody's house.

" Mommy why did we leave uncle Brian behind?, he is your husband, I don't want to live here anymore, I can't even use my superpower here, I want to go back " Alexander tilted his head to the other side, his lips pursed, drumming his feet on the ground.

Melody held her hands behind her back, gripping her wrist, she was frustrated, " Alexander, I'm not going to listen to you this time, it's good that you know that you are not a normal human being, if you starve yourself, you will not die, but get fatter, we are not going back there "Melody declared, before Alexander could say anything, Melody walked upstairs, she did not even glance at her mother.

Alexander's face redded in anger, watching his mother going upstairs, " Granny you see your daughter is rude, I will not eat, or talk to her, I want to see how I will fatten, without eating anything, I will not go to school too " Alexander pursued his lips, with his arm crossed on his chest.

Amelia squatted in front of Alexandria, she reached out and touched his cheeks, showing her beautiful smile " Alexander, she is your mother, there must be a reason she is doing all this, have faith in your mother" Amelia said, she knew everything that happened between Brian and Melody wasn't a coincidence, but she could not tell any of them the truth no matter what.

" Granny, why would you defend her?I hate you too," Alexander said angrily and ran upstairs.

Amelia took a deep breath, looking at Alexander who was running upstairs" I'm sorry, I'm not who you think, I am and I will never let you find the truth " she mumbled to herself.

.....

At the Brown home.

" Mom, why can't I find that fool at her hotel or her restaurant!They aren't allowing me to work there, without her approval, I can't stand it all. I want everything that she has, " Minami said, grinding her teeth in anger.

Mike raised his eyebrow in curiosity, he knew that his sister wanted to ruin, Melody's life, but he could not believe that his sister could do such a thing, but hearing her now he wanted to hear from the horse's mouth " Which fool are you talking about?" he asked tilting his head to look at Minami.

Minami raised her eyebrows when and gaze at Mike with a glassy stare, annoyance was evident on her face " Don't act as if you don't know anything, I'm talking about Melody, of course, she can't have a good life, she doesn't deserve it all, but I do I'm more than worth it " she said, with an evil smirk on her face.

Mike could not help but sneer, hearing what his sister said, he could not believe that she was a fool" What makes you think you are worth everything that Melody has?, you can't even do anything, I doubt if you can bathe yourself properly, wake up Minami and smell the coffee, if you want to have a life like Melody, work hard for it, money does not fall from the tree but you work hard for it, this, not a movie or novel, this is reality, you can't have anything sitting on the couch every day, look our mother is old now, we should support her by putting food on the table, but what do you do, sit here all day doing nothing? you are not a Princess, your dad lied to you if you want to have a good life-work hard for it " Mike said, he could not believe that his sister has such a childish mind.

Minami was fuming in anger hearing, what Mike said, why was she supposed to work hard if Melody has everything, all she wanted to do was to snatch everything that she has " Don't speak if you don't know what to say, stay out of my business" Minami said angrily.

Mike shook his head in disbelief, he was really disappointed in his sister. " I really pity you, wake up before it is too late, you will ruin your life in the process of ruining Melody's life " Mike said, standing up, he walked out of the sitting room.

Pink did not dare utter a word, she was feeling ashamed of herself, she knew everything was her fault, for treating her daughter like she was a princess while treating Melody like a slave, now that slave turned into a businesswoman while her daughter had nothing in life, she realised that she made a big mistake she can't correct, she looked her daughter with tears in her eyes.

" Don't you show me that face of yours, I will not change my mind " Minami said, she stood up and walked out of the sitting room.
