Chapter 50. YOUR MELLISA WILL COME BACK TO YOU

"Zick was a very abusive man, he had made his breakfast and dinner to beat me up every day, he insulted me in front of his girlfriend saying that I was an old hag," Mellisa said, her anger rising. "But never did I ever talk back to him, I respected him and his whole family, I did everything as a good daughter in law even when his mother turned me into a servant I said nothing but keep quiet, when Zick could not keep up with me he chased me out of his house."

Jason raised his eyebrows in curiosity." No offence Ms Mellisa but do you have any proof about what you are saying?? "

Before Melissa could say anything Pathy spoke up." Yes there's evidence, here phone and play it for everyone to see. "Pathy said, handing her phone to Jason.

Jason took the phone and headed it to his colleague." Play the video please. "

....

Meanwhile At the Nadia house.

Zick was fuming with rage as he watched Melissa on the television, speaking out about his wrongdoings.

"Mellisa is doing the right thing. I'm so glad she's revealing your misdeeds, Zick," Mike said as they watched the news.

Riya heaved a heavy sigh, her expression pinched. "Why did you make that fake video? Now you've made things worse. There's no way you'll be able to win over Melissa's heart, and your business is going to suffer because of this. Didn't I tell you to be patient?"

Mike shook his head in disbelief. "Mom, it's because of you that Zick has become the spoiled brat he is today. Did you know that a few weeks ago he kidnapped Melissa and beat her, forcing her to take abortion pills to kill her baby? What did Melissa do to deserve that? He chased her out of the house on his own.

Riya gasped in shock, her eyes widening as Mike spoke. "Is Melissa pregnant?" she asked, her face turning red in anger. "How can she do this to my grandson? This is cheating! How can a woman move on so quickly after a divorce?" She demanded. "She must be held accountable for her actions. She must come back here and get rid of this illegitimate child she is carrying. This is simply not done!"

Zick smirked at his grandmother's words. "Thank you Grandma for understanding me," he said. "I want Melissa back here. I promise to be a good boy if you bring her back to me. She's mine and mine alone.

Liala, who had been quiet the whole time, glared at her son in annoyance. "Mellisa is mine, my foot! What about Liana did you forget about her so soon?" she asked, her voice full of disapproval. "I don't like Mellisa, but do you think women are your property that you can sell and buy again? Let Mellisa live happily with her new husband and move on with Liana. Stop this nonsense going on in your head. Today, I agree with your father. Grow up and stop being a spoiled brat - otherwise you'll regret it."

"Shut up the two of you!" Riya yelled angrily. "Mellisa will come back to this house and I will make sure that happens for sure. My grandson wants her and that's final. If you can't say something good, go to your rooms."

Laila rose off the couch with Mike. "You two will regret this, I'm telling you. Don't say I didn't warn you," she said and left.

Mike turned to his son and said, "Listen to your mother before you do something you will regret." He then followed his wife out of the room.

Riya placed a comforting hand on her grandson's shoulder and said, "Don't worry my son. Until I'm still alive, I would do anything for you. Your Mellisa will come back to you at any cost, if you can't have her then no one else will."

Zick moved to his grandmother and hugged her tightly. "Thank you grandma, I really appreciate it," he said.

...…

Maxwell stepped into the office and all eyes were on him. Everyone was shocked to see their boss without a suit, as they had never seen him dressed so casually. The female employees were especially taken aback, as he looked even more attractive than he did in a suit. However, none of them were brave enough to say anything.

He made his way to the elevator and the doors closed behind him. After a few moments, the elevator dinged and he stepped out, walking to his chair and taking a seat.

After a few moments of sitting in silence, Maxwell took his office phone and called Mark. In no time, Mark came running into his office.

"Good day, Sir," Mark greeted as he closed the door. "Have you watched the news yet? I'm sure you're going to love it," he added with a smile.

Maxwell frowned and opened his laptop to search for the latest news. "This isn't enough to punish that rascal," he said, closing the laptop. Although he was proud of Mellisa for taking a stand for herself, he wanted to punish the person more. "I want you to buy 50% of Zick's company in Mellisa's name," he said indifferently.

"I will do everything I can, Sir. Can I go now?" Mark asked.

"You can go," Maxwell said, and Mark walked out of the cabin, leaving Maxwell alone.

Maxwell carefully went through every document that was laid out on the table, signing some of them and taking the time to read and reply to any emails that were waiting for his attention. He made sure to take his time and give each task the attention it deserved.

.....

Back at the Williams mansion.

"I'm sorry that all these things happened to you, Miss Mellisa," Jason said sympathetically, after watching the video. "No one deserves such a treatment, so what are you planning to do about it?"

Mellisa shook her head. "I have no intention to punish anyone. I just wanted to clear my name. If Zick does not mend his ways, only God will punish him, not me. Thank you for your time and conducting this interview."

"You're most welcome, Miss Mellisa," Jason said. "I wish you a happy married life with your new husband, and forget about Mr. Zick Nadia. He was never worthy of you." With that, he added, "Cut," to his team.
