chapter 33

Flynn awoke as earlier as usual and was totally in the best mood ever. The previous day was one of his best days. He and his wife had made love practically throughout the day, his wife even gave him a hand job which made him very happy. He glanced at Melanie who was still sleeping and embraced her. He gently caressed her reddish cheeks and leaned forward to kiss them, followed by her nose then her lips.

However, his eyes caught the bloodstain that was on the white bedspread and he panicked. Why was Melanie bleeding?

''Sweet... Wait, is she on her period already?'' Flynn creased his brow and glanced at Melanie's peaceful face.

Flynn was about to get out of the bed when Melanie stirred gently and opened her eyes. Flynn's smiling face was the first thing she saw and she unconsciously smiled back at him as she murmured, ''Good morning. Oh gosh, my stomach hurt...''

Melanie held her stomach and sat up. As soon as her eyes caught the bloodstain on the bedspread, she widened her eyes and grabbed it towards her.

''You're on your period already?'' Flynn asked and Melanie nodded her head reluctantly.

Oh God, why does she have to see this thing so early in the morning?

''I thought as much. Are you feeling any pain? Drop this, I'll take care of it,'' he said and yanked off the bedspread from her gently.

''Your... Your hand is on the stain...'' She bit her lower lips nervously.

''It's fine, baby. Does it hurt all the time?'' Flynn asked her, concern evident on his face.

''Just the first day. Is...is there a sanitary pad at home?'' Melanie asked not looking at him.

''I'll check and if we do not have any, I'll get it from the store nearby,'' Flynn answered.

''Yourself?'' Melanie glanced at him.

''It's not something I'll send my guards. I'm fine doing anything for you,'' He said and leaned forward to kiss her forehead.

''Thank you,'' Melanie mumbled timidly.

''Come on, babe. Go and freshen up, I'll get what you need,'' he smiled at her and stood up.

~~~

Flynn arrived at the store that was just a three-minute drive away from the island and looked around before he entered.

He looked around for some time and when he didn't see what he needed, he beckoned to the female attendant.

''I need s...sanitary pad,'' he said, almost in a whisper.

''I did not get that, sir. Can you come again, please?''

''I said, I need sanitary pad,'' he said, a bit louder which made the ladies beside him look at him.

''Oh, okay. I'll get that...''

''As many as possible,'' Flynn interrupted her.

''Huh?'' The female attendant turned to look at him.

''I will buy all the sanitary pads in this store,'' Flynn said and the woman choked on nothing.

''Sir...''

''Hurry,'' Flynn said and looked away.

The ladies beside him snickered silently.

Lady 1: I bet he's flaunting his wealth.''

Lady 2: I guess the b!tch he carried suddenly starts to bleed.

Lady 3: (laughed) he probably thinks she is menstruating. Abortion had gone wrong.

The third lady said and they all laughed.

Flynn clenched his feet when he heard the comment from the ladies beside him. He shook his head and moved towards them.

''Repeat what y'all just said,'' he said, his face cold.

''Who are you?'' The second lady glared at him.

''I said you should repeat what you just said, kids,'' he groaned darkly.

''Hey, who the hell di...''

The third lady started but Flynn grabbed her neck hurriedly.

He tightens his hand on her neck, making the lady gasp for air.

''Answer me while I'm still nice. What the hell did you just say? Did abortion go wrong? Hey, you think I'm one of those fvck buddies who treats you abortion pills when you get pregnant?'' Flynn smirked dangerously.

''Mister... I'm... I'm sorry. Let...go of me...please,'' the lady cried, her face getting pale.

''I hate when anyone speaks ill of my woman,'' Flynn smiled.

''Sir, please,'' the second lady fell on her kneels then the first one.

''Just be glad I'm not in the mood for this?'' Flynn twitched his mouth and released his grip from the lady.

''And where the fvck is the lady that went to get sanitary pad!?'' Flynn yelled.

==

Flynn arrived home and met Melanie standing in the bedroom with a towel tied around her waist.

''I'm sorry I took long, I met some b!tches,'' Flynn entered and Melanie widened her eyes.

''What am I going to do with all of this?'' She glanced at Flynn then at the packs of sanitary pads with Flynn.

''There are still some left in the car, I couldn't take them at once,'' he smiled at her.

''This is too much. Whatever, I need one for now,'' she walked towards him, snatched a pack from him, and removed the nylon that covered it, and walked to the bathroom with one piece.

Flynn made Melanie lay in the bed throughout the day while he ordered their meal and fed her with her meals.

He helped her massage her stomach with a towel dipped in warm water thoroughly and made her drink a lot of water.

Melanie swore that it was the first menstrual period she did without mood swings or stomach aches.

With Flynn by her side, it seems nothing could worry her.

...

When it was in the evening, Flynn received a video call from Elle and when he picked it, Kyle was the first person he saw.

''Why are you with Elle's phone?'' He groaned as he carried the laptop to the bed where Melanie lay.

''Brother!'' Elle screamed and yanked the phone from Kyle.

''How is your honeymoon going? Where is sister-in-law?'' Elle asked and Melanie sat up then looked into the laptop.

''Hi, sister-in-law that is older than me,'' Melanie laughed.

''Melanie,'' Tyler's face showed on the screen and Flynn furrowed his brow.

''What is that make-up artist guy doing with you guys?''

''Have you forgotten he his my boyfriend? We're at mum's house, the three of us,'' Elle grinned.

''Mum? Which mum,'' Flynn creased his brow in confusion.

''Sister in law's mother. We've been here since the second day of your wedding. It is so much fun here!'' Elle screamed in excitement.

''Seriously? Where is mum?'' Melanie smiled?

''She left here earlier. When are you guys coming back? Brother, Elle, and brother-in-law have been oppressing me ever since you left,'' Kyle whined.

''Who gave that make-up boy that brother-in-law title?'' Flynn creased his brow.

''I did,'' Kyle smiled.

''When are you guys coming back? I can't wait to collect your blessing... Big bro,'' Tyler laughed.

''Who is your big bro? Your relationship with my sister is forbidden,'' Flynn glared at him and Melanie laughed.

''Says who?'' Melinda looked into the screen.

''Me, her brother,'' Flynn his chest.

''Well, I'm their new mother, and I gave them my blessing already. Right, kids?'' Melanie smiled.

''Yay!'' They all chorused.

''My baby.''

''Mother, how have you been?''

''I hope your arrogant husband is taking good care of you?'' Melinda said and everyone laughed.

''He is taking good care of me, mum,'' Melanie said amidst laughter.

''Sister in law, stand up. I want to check something,'' Kyle said.

''What did you want to check on my wife's body, a$$hole?'' Flynn furrowed his brow.

''I want to check if her stomach is growing already. Your honeymoon can't go to waste,'' Kyle answered.

''Don't be too forward, brother-in-law. I'll come home with a protruded tummy, don't you worry,'' Melanie smiled.

''I'm trusting you,'' Kyle smiled back.

''We'll leave you two now, bye! Have a fun-filled honeymoon!'' Elle said hurriedly and ended the call.

''Those kids,'' Flynn mumbled and Melanie laughed.

Four weeks later.

Everything was going smoothly. Their honeymoon was going perfectly well. Flynn and Melanie were bonding well and the love between them was growing than ever. They talked about various things and they knew many things about each other. They did everything together with love, and care. They lived carefree like nothing was bothering them.

One night, Melanie was in the living room, watching television while Flynn went to the bedroom to pick his phone.

While he was about to come out of the room, a message popped on the screen, it was an unknown number. He stopped walking and opened his phone to read the message which went thus;

"Harlan, I bet you are enjoying your honeymoon with the woman I nearly fvcked. While your father was alive, we fvck the same woman. I won't mind if you pass that b!tch unto me. I've had a taste of her lips and it is hard to resist. I've missed those b00bs and a$$ of her which are very soft and hard to resist. I didn't have the chance to fvck her then but I am willing to do that now,''

Flynn stiffened his face as soon he finished reading the message, he clenched his fist tightly and a call from the same number popped on the screen.

He did not doubt that the ba$tard was Zach Tordoff.

''I bet you already read my message,'' came the deep voice of Zach which Flynn will never fail to recognize.

''What the hell did you mean by that message, son of a b!tch?'' Flynn asked in a low voice.

''Didn't you understand? I said I want to fvck your b!tch. I only had a taste of her sweet lips. I can still remember how her b00bs and a$$ felt on my skin and palm. I'm getting hard just thinking about her, fvck...''

Flynn hardened his gaze in irritation.

''I don't believe you,'' Flynn groaned.

''Ask the b!tch you call a wife,'' He laughed and ended the call.

Flynn tightened his grip on his cell phone and walked out of the room angrily.

''Melanie!'' He called her name and switched the light on.

''Love?'' Melanie creased her brow and stood up.

It has been so long since Flynn called her by her name.

''Who is Zach Tordoff to you?'' Flynn walked towards her.

''Zach? I don't know anyone by that name,'' she creased her brow in confusion.

''You do not? Okay!'' He snapped and unlocked his phone and went through his gallery.

''Do you know this man?'' He asked and gave her the phone.

Melanie wondered where she had seen the man smiling dangerously even in the picture.

''I don't know him,'' she looked at him.

''You don't know that old, pot-bellied man!?'' He glared at her.

''I don't know...'' She stopped talking and look at that man in the picture again.

As soon as she recognized the man, she widened her eyes which gave Flynn the answer he didn't want to hear.

''Y...you know him?'' She stammered.

''You know him?'' He creased his brow.

''I... Wait, I can explain. It's not what you think, I swear,'' Melanie tried to hold him.

''What the hell do you think I am thinking!'' He yanked his hand off her.

''I'm sorry,'' she bit her lower lips.

''Who is he to you?'' Flynn asked again but Melanie said nothing and only looked at him.

''You're not going to tell me?'' He raised a brow and Melanie pursed her lips.

She dare not tell Flynn what happened between that man and herself.

''Seriously? I can't believe this,'' he shook his head and took a step backward then another.

''Flynn...''

''You will see the other side of me if you call my name with that mouth,'' He whispered and walked out of the house.

Why was her life like this?

Why must that man have to show up when she was happy with her life already.

Damn...

Melanie swallowed hardly, fell on the chair, and starts to cry.
