Chapter 24

The danger is looming.

It was already sundown when Melody finished doing her work. She attended 3 meetings and replied to some important emails and sighed an all-important report, she was so exhausted like hell. She got up from the chair and stretched her body. " Hmm" she moaned. Only God knows how tired she was. " Alexander gets ready, it's time to go home, I think it's better to eat outside, I'm really tired, I can't cook today," Melody said.

Alexander got up from the couch without uttering a word, he was still in his silence mode since morning. Alexander was angry with his mother for blackmailing him in such a manner, he wanted to live with his both parents. Was that too much to ask? he hated his mother at the moment, and he did not want to talk to her.

Melody collected all her belongings and put them all in her purse. She was about to walk around the table so that she could leave but there was a knock on the door.

Melody frowned, she had made it clear to her assistant that she did not want to meet anyone. Who would dare to go against her words? " Come in," she said

The assistant opened the door and entered the cabin followed by Minami behind her.

" Ma'am this lady is stubborn, I told her you don't want to meet anyone but she is being unreasonable" the assistant Mommy said in a shivering tone, she knew very well that Melody does not like anyone going against her words.

Melody glared at Mimmy coldly " If this happened again, then consider yourself fired...

Leave, " Melody said harshly.

Mimmy nodded her head in fear " I will not let this happen again " Mommy said.

Mimmy was a short timid lady, she was shot with a round baby face and big round eyes, if you can look at her she looked like a baby, more like a teenager, and Melody intimidating, but her like that with her cold aura, made her want to flee and hide. Without waiting for Melody to scare her again, she ran out of the cabin leaving Minami and Melody.

As soon as Mimmy closed the door Melody glared at Minami " What's brought you here?, didn't I tell you to hand over the key to the assistant? " Melody asked, still glaring at Minami.

Minami rolled her eyes, in anger " I need money for the tax, it's already late I can't walk home now " Minami said indifferently

" Do I look like a charity case or Santa? who gives people money, don't you have feet? you can walk home, you won't die I assure you " Melody said her eyes full of hatred, remembering how she used to walk late at night.

Minami's face turned red in anger " Don't forget that I'm your sister, how can you treat me like this," Minami yelled.

" Please close the door, when you decide to leave. Alexander let's go" Melody grabbed her purse and walked out of the cabin, Alexander following behind Melody.

At the Vampires City**

" Brian it is time for you to get married to Patricia, it's been 5 years since you said you want to marry her, we need a new king, " the counsellor said angrily.

" Yes you are right, we can't put up with this nonsense of yours. How long can we wait for you? we need a new king, we can't wait for a lifetime" . another counsellor said.

" You can't keep my daughter waiting.., do you think she was made of stone so that she can't feel hurt by what you are doing to her? we don't want to hear your excuses now, better get ready for the wedding "Robert said angrily.

Everyone in the Meeting room nodded their heads in agreement, it had been 5 years since Patricia and Brian got engaged. Brian always finds a way to circumvent making her his wife official.

" You know very that Zachary is eying for this position..., we can't let him rule over us better get married to Patricia before he decided to be our king," Another counsellor said.

" So what do you say?... When should we start preparing for the wedding? " another counsellor asked

Brian looked at everyone In the Meeting room for a brief moment" I will get married, after 1 month starts preparing for my wedding. " Brian said calmly.

Everyone looked at Brian not believing what he just said, they could not believe him even if he said it 100 times.

"You are getting married to my daughter right?" Robert inquired.

" Yes," Brian said, he got up and looked at everyone in the Meeting room " Make sure you prepare for the best wedding ever," Brian said and walked out of the meeting room

Everyone?....

They stared at Brian walking out of the meeting room with their mouths open, he made them wait for 5 years only to tell them now to prepare for the best wedding ever. Can he be more serious?

....

" Mike, your sister is not home yet, do you think something happened to her? I'm so worried about my daughter, she left home in the morning" Pink said anxiously.

Mike looked at his mother who was pacing upside down and centre " Mom do you think pacing like that will bring her home, Minami is a woman she knows what she is doing with her life better stop worrying about her.... else you will have a heart attack. Mike said.

Before Pink could say anything there was a knock on the door. Pink walked to the door rapidly, she opened the door only to see her daughter looking like a zombie

" Minami, what happened to you? " Pink exclaimed, taking Minami's hand as she walked with her to the couch and helped her to sit down.

" Mommy, I'm so tired my hands are sore. I cleaned the toilet mommy. I feel like puking remembering those smells. ... Mommy Melody made me clean the toilet..... the whole me cleaning the toilet my nails are ruined " Minami sobbed hugging her mother. Pink swallowed hard hearing what her daughter said.

Mike could not help but burst into laughter '`haha hahaha....'I will take away everything that belongs to Melody, I deserve everything she has you say. What did you think? that you are a princess or someone special? wake up dear, smell the coffee around you... Melody did the right thing by making you clean the toilet, that's what a lazy and proud person like you deserve " Mike said, he got up from the couch, and went to his room.

Hearing what Mike said Minami sobbed hard, Pink could only caress her back. What can she say? Everything was her fault. After all, It was payback time. She realised that you only receive what you give, your thoughts, words, and deeds return to you sooner or later with astounding accuracy. , she regretted mistreating Melody, only if she knew that her daughter would turn out this way.

.....

When Brian walked out of the meeting room he found a prophet waiting for him outside "What brings you here " Brian raised his eyebrows.

" Danger is looming around your son, you better bring him here so that he can protect himself. Some people want to take his powers and if he loses his powers he will also lose his life " The Prophet said.

Brian's face turned ashen, and his heart started to race that it nearly exploded, hearing what the Prophet said " I will bring him here soon " Brian said.
