chapter 12

''Show me my room, Future husband. Don't think I'll be staying in the same room with you,'' Melanie smiled, and Flynn hardened his gaze.

This lady is passing her boundary!

''And what if I want us to sleep together in the same room?'' Flynn smirks, trying to scare the young lady.

''You and I are in the same room? No problem, but you need to know that I snore a lot, in fact very loudly. I guess you don't have a problem with it, so let's go to your room,'' Melanie said casually and headed to Flynn's room.

Wait, does she really snore?

God knows he hates people that snore.

''Hey, Melanie!'' Flynn shouted and dashed after her.

''You can't stay in my room, choose the room of your choice, just get out of here!'' Flynn said and Melanie settled on his bed.

''Why? I'm tired of leaving this room, and besides, I love this bed so much,'' Melanie yawned lazily.

''The beds in the other rooms are very good,'' Flynn tried to convince her.

''Ahhh,'' Melanie yawned.

Flynn took out his phone from his pocket and pretended to dial a number.

''I need you to get to Melinda's house right now,'' Flynn said, and Melanie jumped out of the bed.

''Wait, what are you trying to do to my mother?'' Melanie asked him.

Flynn removed the phone from his ear, smirked at Melanie, and made a gesture with his hand that he was going to kill Melinda.

''You're so ruthless!'' Melanie gritted her teeth and rushed out of the room.

Flynn smiled and dropped his phone on the bed.

Melanie muttered incoherently as she opened each door of the bedrooms to check the one she was going to stay in. The rooms are virtually the same but Melanie wanted to see everything. She was about to turn the knob of the last door which was opposite Flynn's room when she heard Flynn's voice.

''You are forbidden to enter this room,'' He said and yanked her hand off the knob.

''Why? You said I can choose any room and this could be my choice,'' Melanie replied and hurriedly turned the knob of the door but it was locked.

''I told you to stay away from this room!'' Flynn grabbed her by her arm.

''Why are you making a fuss over a room, it's not like you hid a dead body there,'' Melanie rolled her eyes and walked towards the room adjacent to Flynn's room.

''Have a pleasant nightmare,'' Melanie mocked and entered the room.

Flynn snatched the wine that was lying near the couch and went to pour the rest away in the bathroom.

Walking back to his room, he took a glance at the room he had stopped Melanie from entering and took a deep breath then walked to his room.

He switched the light off his room and laid on his bed.

While thinking about what happened to him five years before, he fell asleep.

~

Melanie yawned lazily as she got out of the bed, she said a few words of prayer as she had always done every morning and after that, she walked to the bathroom and washed her teeth.

Melanie went out of her room and headed to the living room downstairs.

''Lanie!'' Elle stood up from the chair and rushed to hug Melanie.

''I bet you had a peaceful night'' Elle grinned and Melanie laughed.

''Of course, I did, hope you slept well?'' Melanie asked Elle.

''Yes. I must say, you look very funny in Flynn's pajamas, '' Elle laughed.

''I bet you and brother love each other for you to wear what belongs to him,'' Kyle said walking towards them.

''Why did you say that?'' Melanie asked with a creased brow.

''Even though he loves Elle, he would never allow her to wear his clothes,'' Kyle smirked.

''I see, and by the way, where is Flynn? Is he still sleeping?" Melanie asked, looking around.

''Sleeping? Flynn has left for work,'' Elle replied.

''That arrogant tycoon!'' Melanie clenched her teeth.

''Did you just say... Arrogant tycoon?'' Elle furrowed her brow.

''Oh... T...that's just my way of teasing him and he knows,'' Melanie explained.

''How cute,'' Kyle placed his hand on his chest.

''Well, Flynn gave me this!'' Elle brought out Flynn's debit card and Kyle jumped for joy.

''So we're going on a shopping spree!'' Elle jumped too and Kyle couldn't even hide his excitement.

''Why are you guys so happy because of it?'' Melanie furrowed her brow in confusion.

''With this debit card, we can buy the whole boutique! He hardly drops his debit card and when he does we make sure we buy even things that are not necessary,'' Kyle said and Elle nodded her head in agreement.

''He said we should buy you everything that you need,'' Elle said.

''Let's have breakfast and leave for shopping hurriedly, I can't wait!'' Kyle danced.

Melanie shook her head at the twins, why are they glad because of that? There's a lot of films to watch In this house.

After they had eaten the food made by the chefs, Melanie headed upstairs to have her bath.

After she finished bathing, with her towel wrapped around her body, she walked inside Flynn's room and opened his closet.

She went through his clothes and saw a white round neck and black knee-length trousers. She saw a pack of new boxers stored gently inside the closet and took one out of it.

After she was done, she arranged the clothes back and came out of Flynn's room with the clothes in her hands, and went inside her room to try them on.

A few minutes later, Melanie finished dressing up and checked herself in the dressing mirror that was in the room, and chuckled.

The round neck she wore was quite big on her and the trouser was very baggy but it stayed on her hip well.

Melanie walked downstairs and Elle laughed as soon as she saw her.

''These clothes look big for you but it also fits you,'' Elle said.

''I know, it's quite comfortable,'' Melanie replied, smiling.

The three of them walked out of the house and saw the driver waiting for them already.

Kyle rushed to sit at the front while Melanie and Elle sat at the back.

Camila was sitting on the couch in her office when her secretary entered.

''Good morning, Miss Hayes,'' The lady in her early twenties bowed a little.

''Yes?'' Camila groaned, massaging her temple.

''I've gathered all the information about Melanie.''

She said and Camila raised her head immediately.

She handed a file to Camila and said, ''There's nothing special about her, absolutely nothing. She comes from a middle-class family and grew up in a love district. She was living with her mother there till yesterday when she started to live with Flynn Harlan,'' The lady said.

''What!? She lives with Flynn?'' Camila questioned.

''Yes ma'am.''

Camilla stood up angrily and grabbed the vase on the table and threw it against the wall.

''First, I was planning to marry her, and now... She lives in the same house with him! She's not even up to my level! How dare you, Flynn!'' Camila yelled in anger and her secretary shook her head slowly.

Her boss has gone mad.
