After Melanie ended her phone call, she quickly accessed WhatsApp, eagerly awaiting a video call that was about to come through.
Once connected, Melanie’s expression turned to one of stark disbelief and worry as she watched the footage.
It showed a private moment between her and Aaron, where they shared an embrace and a kiss inside a car. This incident had occurred right after Aaron
Melanie’s principles were not particularly stringent when it came to matters of the heart. She was fully prepared to sleep with Aaron if he expressed the d
Despite her progressive views, Melanie was aware that her family might not share her open– mindedness. It was crucial that this video remained hidden from the other Leedon family members.
The thought that Curtis would stoop to such low levels as to spy on her was appalling to her.
With a sense of inevitability, she steeled herself and forwarded the compromising video to Aaron. Her message was desperate and urgent, reflecting her dire situation. “Aaron, that night in the car, someone captured our actions on video. They’re threatening me with it, demanding a million. I don’t have on me. I’m still short of five hundred thousand. Could you possibly lend me that amount? I can’t let our family find out about my feelings for you. It would

He immediately responded to Melanie’s plea. “Mel, where are you now?”
Melanie, sounding both fearful and vulnerable, replied, “I’m outside right now, and I’m really scared. I don’t know what to do. The woman in that video is
Melanie’s sobs tugged at his heartstrings. Never before had a woman loved him with such humility.
Hearing her distress, Aaron quickly reassured her, “I’m transferring a million to you now. You should forward this million to that person and have him delete the video. Don’t worry, Mel, I’ll protect you.”
Melanie, through her tears, expressed her gratitude, “Aaron, thank you. I know, no matter how ignoble my feelings are, no matter how disgraceful my affection for you is, you would still protect me at all costs when I’m in danger. I love you.”
Aaron, touched by her words, comforted her. “Mel, loving someone is beyond control. Your affection for me is not disgraceful. It’s just that I have a lot of

He sneered slightly as he spoke to Melanie, his tone dismissive, “I shot this video purely by chance, I had no idea you’d actually put yourself in the frame you again.”
However, his promises were hollow, lacking any substance or sincerity. After uncovering the secretive relationship between Melanie and Aaron, Curtis had made it his mission to expose their clandestine encounters, envisioning it as a scandalous exposé. His ultimate aim was to financially exploit Aaron to the fullest. Regarding Me

Curtis retorted, questioning her, “You’re nothing like Aurelia, Melanie. Before you hang up, tell me, how many men have you been with?”
Frustrated and angry, Melanie clenched her teeth and snapped back, “Who I’ve been with is none of your business! Don’t pry into things you have no rig

However, he waited anxiously for several minutes, but there was no sign of Aurelia. It seemed possible that she was deliberately avoiding him.
Impatient, he rushed forward, blocking a passerby to inquire, “Has Aurelia not finished work yet?”

“Huh? He’s been waiting here for Aurelia for several hours. I told him to make a call, but he didn’t.”
“He’s just a lunatic; I’ll let Aurelia know.”
