Melody POV

I blinked at Giovanni's question and didn't know how to answer him. He was close to the truth and sooner or later, he will realize the truth but, the outcome of the truth was all I tried to avoid.

"Who are you?" he asked again, his eyes fixed on mine. I tried to avoid his glaring eyes but he grabbed my hand and pulled me closer to him. There was no space between us, our bodies clung together and I felt his hand on my waist. He caressed my face and held my chin; he lowered his head and whispered into my ears.

"I'm not going to ask again Melody. My patience doesn't last long." His breath sent shivers to my body. I like the feeling but I know he was taunting me.

"I don't understand what you meant by that." My reply came like a whisper because I was feeling tensed under his touch.

"Answer me!" he yelled and shook me vigorously. Before I knew it, he had dragged me to the couch. He pushed me to the couch and sat opposite me. "I need to know what your mission is really about. Who are you and what are you doing in my company?"

"I-I" I stuttered not knowing what to say. "I don't have a mission."

"Do I know you?" he asked the question I dreaded the most.

How was I going to explain to him that he was my husband? How was I going to make him understand that we were still married and we have a child? I didn't know what to do because he was never going to believe whatever I said so I gave him the reply he never expected. "Some secrets are left as secret."

"So you know me right?" he asked and I nodded. "I don't know what you and my family are hiding but once I found out and you are a part of their tricks, I'll make sure you regret not telling me now." he threatened.

"It's not what you think, "I tried to explain but he cut me off by pointing to the door.

"I'll need you to leave before I lose my cool."

"I'm sorry," I apologized. I didn't know why I was apologizing but it was something I needed to do. He was hurting and he probably thinks nobody loves him but I do, he just can't see it. I stood and head towards the door but what he said next stopped me.

"Present your proposal tomorrow. If I'm impressed, you'll stay until the project ends but if not, I'll send you away."

"But sir," I tried to argue but he didn't listen instead he pointed to the door.

"Get out." He commanded.
I heaved a sigh of frustration and went out of the office. When I got outside, I tried not to cry because I was becoming too tired of it. I walked to my desk and sat on my chair and couldn't help but stare at the lunch I got for Giovanni. I pondered on what to do with the lunch and at the end of my thinking, I threw the lunch away.
He was probably not going to eat it.

When the day finally came to end, I informed Giovanni I was leaving but I didn't get a reply from him. I knew lying to him was wrong but what was I supposed to do. Even if I told him the truth, he was never going to believe me if he doesn't remember what happened five years ago. When I got home, I met Lorena and Hope in a good mood. They were both dancing like they won a gold medal or something.

"Guess I'm the only one having a bad day." I thought

Hope was the first to see me entering the room. She ran to me and hugged me. "Hey mummy!" she squealed.

"Hello, Hope," I answered back.
Lorena stopped the music and smiled at me. They were both acting weird and I couldn't help but feel suspicious and also jealous that my friend was making my daughter happy. I knew I shouldn't be jealous but I couldn't help it.
