The Mafia’s Possession

Chapter 18 Acting like you care?



Melanie wiped her tears a few minutes later and went to the bathroom to wash her face.

If Flynn finds out she knew, he might kill her too because she knew his secret.

Tyler’s family was on the bus that day too.

Melanie wished to cut the marriage off but her mother’s life was on the line.

She dare not to make a decision that could endanger the life of the only family she had left in the world.

Melanie tiptoed out of the living room and went back to the poolside to meet Elle and Kyle.

Knowing that her face was red and swollen because she had cried earlier, she dropped her phone beside Elle hurriedly and jumped into the pool.

”I wish to join but I catch cold easily,” Elle said pressing her phone.

Tyler had phoned her earlier when Melanie was away and they talked for a while before they ended the call.

Elle knew she was attracted to this man, it was an attraction at first sight anyway.

Elle watched Melanie swimming as if her life depended on it like it was a competition. She wasn’t swimming for the fun of it, probably, she had a mood swing.

Melanie didn’t come out of the pool for almost an hour till Kyle and Elle insisted she came out of the pool.

”Your eyes are red,” Elle said.

”Of course, she swam too much,” Kyle said and Melanie smiled.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

”I was enjoying it, it has been long I swim,” Melanie forced a smile.

”Not bad, who taught you how to swim? You were so good at it,” Kyle asked.

”My dad did,” Melanie smiled.

”Okay. Can we go inside now? I’m very hungry,” Elle said.

The three of them entered the room and Devon was just leaving the mansion.

Flynn was already sitting on the couch and smiled when he saw the three of them walking in.

”Flynn!” Elle shouted and went to sit beside her brother.

”I never knew sister-in-law was a good swimmer. You need to see the way she was swimming earlier,” Elle said.

Flynn smirked at Melanie and the lady only looked away.

”Are you guys not hungry? I told the chefs to prepare pasta, you in?” Flynn asked and they nodded in agreement.

A few minutes later, they gathered at the dining area to eat. While Kyle and Elle fought and nagged each other while they were eating, Melanie said nothing and only ate her food silently that Flynn couldn’t help but steal glances at her.

As soon as she finished eating, she left the dining and went to her room leaving the rest at the table.

Elle and Kyle didn’t think anything was wrong while Flynn on the other hand was feeling guilty that the poor lady had lost her father and brother because of his carelessness.

After he finished eating, he left the dining and went to his domain upstairs.

”Melanie,” He knocked on her door but the lady had already locked the door from inside.

After he had knocked a few times again and she didn’t open up, he left for his room.

How would Melanie feel if she finds out that he was the murderer of her father and brother?

Flynn thought as he fell on the couch in his room.

Melanie dialed her mother’s number and they spoke for over twenty minutes before they bade each other goodbye.

When Melanie saw Flynn earlier, she realized she felt very betrayed by what Flynn did, and it dawn on her that she might be falling for the tycoon.

Hell, Melanie! It was just a week they met and it was too early to fall for a dangerous man like Flynn. Not to even say that dangerous man killed her people.

Ugh…

Melanie sighed deeply and closed her eyes.

~The next morning…

Flynn was about to leave the living room downstairs when he heard Elle call Melanie’s name.

He was very worried when she refused to come out of her room from the minute she had entered yesterday afternoon.

When he knocked on her door last night for dinner, she didn’t open the door.

He was so nervous that he barely stopped himself from breaking the door.

He rushed towards her and grabbed her by the right hand and pulled her out of the mansion.

”What is it?” Melanie creased her brow.

Flynn looked at the lady in front of him from head to toe and shook his head slightly.

Wait… Didn’t she check herself in the mirror? Her hair was very rough not to talk of the pajamas that she wore.

“You didn’t come out since yesterday, what is wrong with you?” He queried.

”Were you worried,” She smirked slightly.

”Of course, what’s wrong with you?” Flynn asked and placed his palm on her forehead checking if she had fever.

”I had a severe headache and I decided to sleep it off,” She replied.

”Are you okay now? Or will you visit the hospital?” Flynn asked.

”I’m much better,” Melanie smiled.

”Okay, when you’re through, check my room, I left something for you,” Flynn said and Melanie nodded her head.

Melanie watched Fynn enter the car and shake her head.

The bastard was acting like he cared.

”You’re missing him already?” Elle snapped Melanie out of her thoughts.

”Elle…” Melanie forced a smile.

”I bet you’re hungry, come in. Food is almost done,” Elle said and Melanie nodded her head.

How could a bad man like Flynn have adorable siblings like Elle and Kyle?

Ugh, crazy!

~~

Melanie entered Flynn’s room and saw the sheet of paper on the shelf and picked it.

”I realized you don’t have my number and you might need it.”

Melanie smirked at the first line.

Acting cool, huh? A$$hole!

Melanie read his phone number inwardly and went to the other paragraph.

”You might want to buy one or two things, my debit card is on the shelf, and the pin is…”

Acting like you care now, huh?

Not so good, Mr. Flynn Harlan.

Melanie dropped the paper on the shelf and walked out of his room.

She doubts if she could forgive the murderer of her father and brother.

~

Flynn could not take Melanie out of his mind.

Somehow, he hated the fact that he caused her pain.

His phone rang and he checked who was calling.

Ugh… Camila.

”Yes?” He said, ever coldly.

”Is this how to greet someone you haven’t seen in a while?”

He imagined the alluring smirk on her face.

”Where are you?” Flynn asked.

”I’m at work, of course, you don’t think I’m some jobless b! tches, right… Flynn,” Camila said, and Flynn knew she was talking about Melanie.

”Let’s meet, now,” Flynn said bluntly.

”I know it’s a matter of time, that tiny b! tch can never take my place,” Camila said.

”I’ll meet you soon,” Flynn ended the call and massaged his temple.

~

Camila smirked as she dropped the phone.

Today, she would make sure to make Flynn her own forever.

Her birth control pill had finished and she wasn’t going to get another one.

She will tame the handsome tycoon with pregnancy, even if he already married that Melanie by then!

TBC…
