Melody walked to the room, which she slept in the other day she came to Brian's house, and luckily she never forgot the way that heads to the room. Mimmy raised her eyebrows looking at Melody's sour mood, she was hesitant to ask but she asked anyway knowing that curiosity killed a cat. " Melody, is everything alright? " She asked softly. " I mean, ever since Alex mentioned Brian's name your mood seemed to have erupted. Is there something wrong between the 2 of you? ??"
" Don't worry Mimmy, " Melody forced a smile. " I don't want to talk about it now, but when I'm ready I will definitely tell you," Melody said as she opened the door to the room as the both of them entered inside. " Don't worry too much, okay?"
Mimmy shook her head slightly," Okay, as long as you're not sad I'm happy. You don't have to tell me anything if you are not ready. "
" Thanks for understanding, I promise to tell you everything when I'm ready, okay? "Melody said softly. " Let's take a quick nap. "
" Okay, I will wait for you. " Mimmy said.
...…
It was already evening and everyone was at the dinner table waiting for their dinner.
"Melody, I don't want to hide anything from you, I know you won't like it. But your son was attacked twice. " Naina stated. '' Zachary wants him dead and he is going to do anything in his power to destroy him. Alexander's life is in danger as we speak. "
Melody's heart started racing, her eyes widened in surprise and her mouth dropped open.
She couldn't believe what she was hearing. She had no idea that they had been keeping such a huge secret from her. She felt betrayed, hurt, and confused, all at the same time. She wanted to scream and cry, but all she could do was sit there, speechless. Finally, she mustered the courage to say " W-Why didn't you tell me anything before? " Melody stammered as she started sobbing ...."H-He is my son, I had a right to know everything about him ... .That's why I never wanted him to come here …This is the only reason…. Now he is in danger… How will this problem be solved???"
" Mommy, you have to get married to dad. Alexander said innocently, "Once dad gets married and becomes a king then all the problems will be solved. If you don't want to get married to dad, then you have to tell my soul to rest in peace. "
Everyone in the room gasped in unison upon hearing Alexander's shocking revelation, except for Patricia who had a look of displeasure on her face at the mention of Melody's name.
"Wow!!!" Melody exclaimed, her eyes welling up with tears. The pain in her heart was so intense that she couldn't find words to describe it. "E-Excuse me," she said, rising from her chair and quickly running out of the dining room heading outside the house.
Brian, concerned for Melody's well-being, leaped from his chair and chased after her, worried that she might do something to hurt herself.
" Alexander, Why do you always hurt your mother like this??? Mimmy questioned angrily. '' Why are you so obsessed with this marriage?? Instead of being happy that your mother is here, you are busy making her cry. Do you love your father this much?? More than your own mother??. Shame on you for not knowing the importance of your own mother's happiness. "
" Auntie, I'm doing all this for her own happiness. I cared for both my mother and father, and that's why I want them to be together so that they can raise me properly. A child needs both parents to be raised well. " Alexander explained. " And this Zachary matter is not my fault that he wants to kill me, because I don't remember me telling him to kill me or plotting against me; it's his problems, not mine. It's mommy's choice if she wants to save her son or her happiness. " Alexander rose off his chair and ran upstairs to his room.
Mimmy rose off the chair and headed to the room where Melody showed her earlier. She was just too angry and hurt to see Melody crying like that. If she knew that all this was going to happen she wouldn't have allowed her to come here, but it was just too late.
" Wow, Melody's arrival had already caused chaos in this house within a few hours," Patricia smirked. " I always knew there was nothing good about her, but now I'm very sure that she is not a perfect daughter-in-law for this family. "
" You are absolutely right, " Liam said, jaw clenched in annoyance. " You are the perfect daughter-in-law in this family, you have never caused chaos in this house ever since you came. Not, Melody, that girl is bad news itself. But this stubborn son of mine won't listen to me, why does he keep on begging her to love him, I don't see anything special about her. "
Niana rose off her chair, with a pinched expression on her face. " If you think that Patricia is the perfect daughter-in-law of this family, why don't you marry her yourself? I bet you have a thing for her."Naina questioned angrily, shooting Liam a deadly glare. "And you Patricia," She slanted her body and faced her." If
you forget your place in this house, I will chase you out of my house with a clap of my finger. If I were you, I wouldn't interfere in other people's family matters, before securing a better place for yourself. Hiroko " Naina glared at Patricia then her gaze moved to Liam, satisfied with their expression. She left the Dining table heading to her room.
Patricia's face reddened with anger as she watched Naina's back, her fists clenched tightly. Her eyes blazed with rage as she glared at her back.
Everyone lost their appetite and they all went to their own room, they did not need food anyway they were all vampires except for Mommy and Melody.
Melody ran out of the house, tears streaming down her face as she made her way to the garden. She stumbled to the nearby bench and collapsed onto it, her body wracked with sobs. Every time Brian came around she seemed to like her heart was just ripped out of her chest. Why couldn't he just get married to someone who truly loved him and leave her alone? Why couldn't he let her live in peace?
Brian slowly walked towards Melody, his heart-shattering piece by piece as he watched her cry. He had never wanted to make her cry, and he wanted what was best for all of them. He loved her so deeply that his heart ached to see her in such pain. If only she knew how much his heart was aching at that moment, he thought to himself, she wouldn't have rejected him with such finality.
Reaching the bench where she was, he sat next to her.
