42.Macy sat with Melvin at a corner as Melvin trembled and cried."It's okay baby. We'll be okay. Shh! Don't cry. It will be okay," Macy soothed the young girl and all that time, Cassy was looking at them. "Who are you?" She asked Macy because she could tell that these two had a close relationship. "Oh, me? No one. I am just an employee of the Armstrong family and I have been taking care of the little miss here," Macy answered. What Cassandra realised was that this girl didn't have any fear in her eyes. "Then, why risk your life for her? Do they pay you enough?" Cassy continued asking. "It's not about pay ma'am. It's about the relationship I have with Melvin," Macy answered as she continued soothing the young girl. "Hey you, come here," Cassandra called to Melvin. Melvin either did not hear her or she ignored her. "Melvin, your mother is calling you. Come here,"Cassy repeated again and again, the young girl ignored her. "How dare you! My life is a living hell because of you.
43.Richard was dying from the inside and thinking of a thousand ways in which he could make Cassy suffer. He knew that she had changed from the woman he fell in love with but he hadn't known how much. It never occurred to him that she had the guts to kidnap Melvin after everything he had done to them. This time, he was going to erase them off of the face of earth, literally. As he boarded the military grade helicopter, he couldn't wait to get his hands on Cassandra.He just hoped that both Macy and melvin were okay. He really hoped that Macy was strong enough to deal with whichever people who were still in the jet.But what Cassandra did not know was that after almost losing Melvin that day she had been locked in the utility room with Macy, he had put a tracking device on her.He could tell where they were in the air and where they were headed. As Cassandra thought she had everything under control, Richard had already started deploying people ready for action. His first missi
44.Richard was waiting for Michael's call. He wanted to be the one to take caren of Cassy.He really didn't want to hurt her but he remembered the time he tried to beg her to stay and she did not care to listen.When Richard and Cassy met, she was the sweetest girl ever.She fell in love with him despite the fact that he was just a waiter in a small cafe.Richard remembers that she lost several of her friends due to her decision to marry him.The day she accepted his proposal was the happiest of his life.The life Richard lived before he met Cassy didn't encourage one to have a family.This is because he knew that he would be putting them in danger the way it was right now with everyone trying to hurt Melvin.He thus never thought of getting a partner or getting married let alone having a child.But after that mission where he was betrayed and almost killed and managed to save himself with multiple injuries, he decided to leave his life as an assassin ans live a normal life.After hi
After that incident and Richard making sure that he took care of the human organ traffickers, life continued as usual.But what he wanted to deal with was the teacher who let Cassandra take Melvin away.According to the school rules, only the people the parent had authorized could take a child out of the school gate.Richard had authorized himself, Macy, Asher and her grandparents.He knew that if Cash or May ever went to the school, they would be accompanying any of the people he had authorized.So, how come that she allowed Cassandra to take the child?Richard was a man who was very very patient.Like a snake and a frog hunting each other, he could also wait.But when he striked, he would make sure that the enemy felt it.He thus pretended all was well and he returned the child to school and made sure that his instructions were understood.He threatened the teacher that if that happens again, he would have the school closed.It was a privately owned school but the family wasn't as r
Richard and Asher both stopped but did not look at the woman."Are you very hungry?" She asked Richard asked his brother seriously ignoring what she was saying.He treated her like she was air."Yes, I didn't have a chance to take lunch," Asher replied getting what his brother was doing."Okay. Let's go eat and rest, we will return again tomorrow," Richard said and took two steps towards the door."Please, please I beg you.If you take that money, my mother will die.I will tell the truth.Anything you want to know," the woman shouted with all her bravery gone.She was not the composed woman of a few minutes ago who was wearing a courageous facade."Talk," Richard said still standing near the door as he turned slowly to face her."My mother.... *sniff, sniff* my mother is very sick.She has been diagnosed with stage two colon cancer and she is bedridden since she can't sit or stand.She needs an urgent surgery and my insurance is not enough to cover her.I told it to my director, Ian
47.At work, Macy had been given a two day's off then Cassy happened and she took more days off to stay with Mel. She had overstayed her off while the others continued working.She was lucky that the investor insisted on having her in the movie.When she resumed, she had a lot of work pending.The director had shot other scenes and hers were remaining and she was thus working day after day morning to evening. It was like binge watching a series for days.This is having in mind that she was the second lead and she had a lot of scenes.Thus, she had gone for almost a week without seeing Mel. Not that she wanted to but the situation waranted it.When Richard got home that evening, he found a sulking Mel at the living room.Nurse Lin was trying to talk to her asking her to eat something.She wasn't saying anything. She just sat there at the corner of the couch just pouting.Anyone could see that she was sulking.Richard was worried for a while because it wasn't like Mel to behave that way
48.Macy stood there disoriented for a while.She didn't know whether she was still dreaming or this was real.She had been very exhausted of late because of shooting scenes after scene from morning to evening.She thus fell in bed immediately after getting to her suite.Never in her wildest dreams did she think that Richard would show up in her house in all his glory."Oh, baby, is it really you?" Macy asked Melvin in a croaky sleepy voice."Did we wake you?" The deep masculine voice asked."Oh, please come in," Macy said coming to.She now realized that this wasn't a dream.Richard and Mel went inside the room as the girls who had come out of a room from the further end of the corridor were standing there looking at that hunk who was carrying a child.They didn't see the owner of the suite as she didn't get out.Macy, after opening the door, stood just before the threshold."Who was that and whose suite is that?" Richard, who had a hearing like a hawk's sight, heard them discussing
49.Macy overslept.She could have sworn that she had set her alarm as always for five o'clock.She did her exercises and morning run for an hour and then came back to take breakfast and get ready and May would pick her up at exactly twenty minutes past seven.They would be at the studio thirty minutes to twenty minutes to time.But this day, she didn't even go for her morning run.She woke up and she realized that it was brighter in the room than it usually was when she woke up.She sat up in bed and tried to remember the events of last night and what day today was.It was....Wait...Richard and Mel...Where are they? She wondered.Then it clicked."Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! I'm late.. The director is going to chew me alive," Macy thought as she shot out of bed.It was at that moment when she was throwing clothes here and there from her closet looking for something to wear did the bedroom door open."Auntie, you are awake? Good morning?" Mel greeted as she picked the clothed Macy had thrown
