Melissa’s Threat

Third POV

Dessra didn't really understand why Melissa was behaving weird. But then, she didn't really care. "Well hurry up and help out in the kitchen, come on."

Melissa nodded. "Of course, I'll join you now." Truth be told, she disliked the way Desdra ordered her around. She hated their family so much but found herself stuck there because she was so focused on marrying Derek back then.

Alice, Derek's mother was already waiting too as they all gathered in the living room. "I guess your plan is working at last, isn't it?" She said to her daughter. Melissa followed and sat next to Desdra.

Desdra gave a satisfying smile. "Of course mother. What matters the most is that no one tell Derek. That's the most important thing."
