Chapter 255
“She asked you to stay away from me?” Hannah asked and Mellisa nodded and she hummed.
“Where did you and your mommy live, Mellisa?” Hannah asked.
“We stayed at……”
“Melissa, it’s time for bed,” Lisa, who is seen climbing down the stairs, said , cutting off her speech.
“But I’m hungry, you said once we arrive I would eat nice food here,” she said as she touched her stomach.
“There’s food in the kitchen Melissa, I could get you some,” Hannah said and Lisa rolled her eyes.
“No, I would get her food myself. Stay away from my child, Hannah, and stop interrogating her” Lisa said as she clenched her fist before pulling Mellisa away.
She dragged her upstairs to the guest room and closed the door behind her then turned to Mellisa with a furious look on her face.
“What? Don’t give me that look. I did exactly as you asked me to, I’m hungry, can you please get me food, now” she said as she sat on the bed and let out a sigh.
“I thought I told you to stay away from Hannah and not answer any question she asked you?” Lisa clenched her fist.
“She sounds nice. Brandon said I could call her mommy. And she didn’t ask me any questions, I only told her I would miss my friends” Mellisa said and Lisa rolled her eyes.
“Stay away from her, this is my last warning. I would go get the food” She said and with that, she walked out of the room.
Mellisa on the other hand lay on the bed spreading her legs as she enjoyed the softness of the bed.
She stood up admiring the decorations of the room. The room looks like the ones she watches in movies, she had always dreamed of living in a place like this and her dream had already come to pass.
She smiled to herself and then jumped on the soft bed.
Just then the door opened revealing Lisa, holding a plate of food.
She closed the door behind her and gave the food to Mellisa.
Mellisa sat up properly and started eating the food like an animal like she hadn’t eaten in a week.
“Gross! Could you please eat gently?” Lisa said as she stared at her looking at her weirdly.
“I can’t, it’s so delicious, ” she said and Lisa rolled her eyes.
“Thank Goodness you are not even my daughter, she wouldn’t eat like a dog: you are just my ticket to staying in this house and buying me more time to make Brandon mine,” she said to herself as she removed her shoes and went to the bathroom to take her bath.
When she came out of the bathroom, Mellisa was done eating.
“Go in there and take your bath, you look like hell,” Lisa said and she nodded and stood up before going to the bathroom.
Lisa sighed. She had hired her to act like Mellisa. The truth is she didn’t know if Mellisa was still alive or even dead, but she was glad this girl looked so much like Mellisa. She made everything easier.
Her real name is Adrianna, she lives in a village downtown and her grandmother was sick. Lisa had agreed to pay for her grandmother’s hospital bills and make sure she was alright if Adrianna did what she wanted and she had agreed.
She was glad she was back in the house, she just hoped the little girl wouldn’t ruin her plans.
She sighed softly and lay on the bed. She had almost fallen asleep when she noticed Mellisa was still in the bathroom. It’s been one hour and she was still in the bathroom.
“Melissa” she called but no response. She then decided to call her by her real name, Adrianna but still no response.
She decided to go see what she was still doing and to her surprise, she saw her in the bathtub, sleeping peacefully.
“Damn!” Lisa muttered as she stared at her with no expression on her face. She then carried her from the bathtub and took her to the room.
She helped her wipe her body and put on some clothes on her, then helped her lay on the bed gently.
She hates to babysit. I didn’t bring you here to babysit you, she said with a clenched fist as she stared at her.
She let out a sigh and then lay beside her on the bed. She stared at Adrianna.
Her color of hair was black but she had bleached it to blonde. She stared at the little girl, she looked like her baby Mellisa. She wished Mellisa was still alive.
She sighed and suddenly closed her eyes and drifted to sleep.
Meanwhile, Jessica is seen sitting in her room looking so furious.
“I know what I’m saying Matthew, that child isn’t Brandon’s child. She’s lying to him and he just cannot see it” Jessica said as she kept pacing to and fro looking furious.
All she wanted to do was to expose Lisa’s lie and she needed to find a way to.
Matthew moved towards her and sneaked his hands around her waist.
“Can we stop talking about Lisa, for just this night, you will resume tomorrow” he said and she rolled her eyes and nodded. He turned towards him and then kissed him on his lips.
Meanwhile, Hannah had climbed upstairs and made their way to her room when saw the door that led to the wine cellar slightly open.
She wondered why the door was open.
She pushed the door open, walked in and then saw Lucas sitting on the chair with three empty bottles of alcohol in front of him.
Shit! He’s been drinking nonstop, Hannah thought and then sighed.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
“Hey, Lucas” she called and he raised his head and stared at her.
Their gazes locked together, and she could see he was deeply hurt. There were tears in his eyes.
“Hey, are you alright?” Hannah asked with pity in her eyes.
“I had plans for us. I bought a house in Dubai and here in Atlanta. I bought a land to start up our company.
She was obsessed with you being The COO, I wanted to make her my COO. She lied to me” he said as he managed to stand up and was about to fall on the ground when Hannah held him, preventing him from falling.
“I’m so sorry Lucas. I’m so sorry for what happened” she said and just then she pulled him into a warm hug.
