CHAPTER 20 RUINED PLAN

Maxwell snorted coldly, he walked over to the chair by the bed and sat down on the chair by the bed where Melissa was. "Tell me, why do you want to kill yourself so much? He raised his eyebrows. "In a perception…if suicide was the solution to all problems, then a lot of people would have kill themselves and no one would have any problems."

Melissa looked at Maxwell, her heart racing with rage. "Of course not, but we all have different issues, and we process and respond to them differently," Melissa said, her voice shaking. "I'm sick and tired of fighting, I'm sick and tired of trying to prove what I mean to people , I'm sick and tired of being hated, I'm sick and tired of trying to make people love me. I just want to sleep forever. That's what I want, and you won't stop me. "

Maxwell narrowed his eyes in annoyance, he did not know if Mellisa was crazy or naïve, can someone kill herself for people who will be left on this earth enjoying their life, who won't even care if she dies or lives? " Melissa let me tell you something you don't know. No one's gonna love you if you don't love yourself, no one will ever care for you if you don't care about yourself." Maxwell said coldly. "Stop caring about people who don't care about you. Do you think if you die they will mourn you?? No!! Rather they would celebrate your death. "

" Why do you care if anyone will mourn me or not??" Mellisa questioned under gritted teeth, tears threatening to fall out of her eyes. " Just let me die so that my soul would rest, I don't want to live anymore. I have no reason to keep on living. I have no money, no husband, and no kids. I have nothing at all. Why should I keep on living?? Just let me die please!!!" The tears she was trying hard to stop finally started flowing off her face.

Maxwell swallowed hard seeing Mellisa crying like this, he was determined to restore her confidence and her self-love. He was willing to do anything to make Mellisa realise her worth, even if that means treating the mother of his child like his worker, he was willing to help her out.

" I'm sorry but I'm not going to fulfill your wish, I'm not going to let you kill yourself. Maxwell said, his voice unreadable. " Go and get ready, the doctor said that you can go home with the nurses to take care of you."

"I'm not going anywhere with you, I'm not going to get ready either. " Mallisa stubbornly said.

Maxwell narrowed his eyes with a mischievous gleam. "If you don't want to get ready yourself, I have no choice but to help you shower and change."Maxwell with a smirk . "From today, I will be making decisions regarding your life . You said it yourself, you have no future to plan, and I will help you plan your beautiful future. "

Mellisa's eyes widened showing her whites, she could hear her heart pounding in her ears with rage, " From today onwards I officially hate you. I hate you!!!!"Melissa rose off the bed with tears in her eyes.

"Unfortunately, I Don't have the same thoughts about you. Hurry or do you want me to be the one to help you out??," said Maxwell.

Melissa quietly entered the bathroom without wanting to be helped and slammed the door angrily.

...…

Tina sat in an old building, her anger evident as she glared at the five men in front of her. "How could you let a fifteen-year-old girl escape from the fridge? You're all a bunch of good-for-nothing idiots. I'm not going to pay you anything until you finish the job," she said.

The leader of the gang replied, "Ma'am, don't try to act smart with us. If you don't give us the money, we'll tell Mr. William that you were the one who asked us to kidnap his daughter. Send our money to the account number we sent you."

"Come on, let's go guys," the leader said, and the gang began to leave.

Tina had originally planned to kill Linda, knowing that if one of Maxwell's daughters were murdered, he would be devastated. She wanted to be the one to stand by his side, so his hatred for her would diminish. But now her plan was ruined, and she had no money to pay the goons. She was hoping that she could somehow get together with Maxwell, and use his money to pay them off.

"You are mine, Maxwell, and I will do anything to make you want me again. I know that you love me so much that you can't even move on with your life. It's been five years since we divorced and you are still single, which means you are still waiting for me. We will be together soon, my love." Tina murmured, shamelessly. Now that her older, rich boyfriend had dumped her, she wanted to go back to Maxwell. It was a pity that Maxwell had already planned his future with someone else.

…..At the Nadia mansion.

Ever since Zick had chased Mellisa out of his home, he had become aware of how much he had grown to care for her. He made every effort to locate her, even enlisting his associates to help in the search, but to no avail. He deeply regretted forcing her out of the house.

" Zick, when will we start the wedding preparations? Liana asked, the tip of her finger tracing Zick's jaws.

" Why are you in such a hurry to get married?? " Zick questioned, he grabbed her hand, stopping her from touching him more.

"Zick, why are you acting like this? Why aren't you letting me touch you?" Liana asked, squishing her eyebrows together in confusion. Everyone knew that Zick was a sex lover, but now he was pushing her away just like that. It was as if some evil spirit had possessed him. "Are you trying to compare me to that illiterate village girl? Like, seriously?"

Zick's face reddened in anger glaring at Liana. " My wife is missing and you are only thinking about sex ?? Have you lost it or what? Just leave me alone ok. " Zick said, pushing Liana away from him.

" Zick Nidia, don't try my patience okay? " Liana gritted her teeth in anger to the point that her muscles started quivering in rage. " Are you trying to compare me to that illiterate ugly village girl ?? Like seriously?? I'm 102 %better than her and you are never going to miss her in my presence."
