Destined

Chapter Three

We stepped into the ballroom that I only had the chance to clean before. Waiters moved around with trays as they offered the guests something to eat or drink. I recognized some of their faces as my friends who looked shocked to see my company and clothes.

Suddenly, Miss Alejandro halted to a stop and I copied her actions. A man stood in front of her, piercing blue eyes and soft black hair that he kept as a man bun. 

"Ella" I could hardly make it but I did, I stole a glimpse at her and found her hypnotized by his stare which was completely expected. I mean the man looked like a Greek god and had beautiful ey-

"Oww" I frowned as someone bumped into me.

"I am so sorry love" he quickly apologized as I turned towards him and was about to apologize back but froze in my place.

"Harry...."my eyes glazed as I looked at my now grown up brother. His green eyes did not change, his hair was not as curly as it used to be when we were kids but you could still it had a slight wave. I looked him up and down trying to take in that my brother stood right in front of me.

"Mel, is that you?" he cautiously asked as tears formed in his eyes as well. 

I silently nodded unable to utter a word still in denial of the situation.

He finally broke out of it and pulled me in a hug. I did not waste a second and hugged him back just as hard and sobbed into his chest as I held into him savoring the moment. In this moment all I wanted was to stay in his embrace, for everything to go back to normal and live like a family.

He pulled away and wiped off my tears as his fell.

"How? I thought you were dead. I have missed you so much love."

His words just made me cry more and I could only blame my tear glands for producing so many tears.

Suddenly Miss Alejandro turns towards me finally breaking out of her trance. She furrows her eyebrows at the scene in front of her but for some reason I did not care, I felt safe in his arms.

"Melanie" She finally spoke, I rolled my eyes as she added a fake laugh."I need the bathroom , will you join me?" I could easily recognize the change in her tone and all I could do was pull away from my brother.

I went to follow her but Harry grabbed my elbow.

"Harry what are you doing?" I gave him a look that screamed they will kill me.

"No Mel, I won't let you go again"

She sighed and turned back, she slowly walked towards Harry until there was barely any distance separating their bodies. She leaned towards her ear and whispered to let me go or there will be consequences.

"Harry pleas-"

He cut me off "No Mel, I finally have you in my arms. I wont let the past repeat itself again"

My heart broke for him. He did not know that non of us came out of this mansion alive, we knew too much for us to be out there.

"Fine, I can sell her back to you but that is only because I am feeling nice"

I looked at her shocked, that is impossible. There must be something to that, she is not THAT nice.

He nodded and took out his pen to write her a check.

"10,000,000 dollars"

He wrote down the number, gave her the check and pulled me with him to leave. She was fast to slide a paper in my hand as I finally left that cursed mansion. As soon as we made it outside, I halted in my steps.

"Harry wait!! they are not that nice, there must be someth-"

"Love, I will risk it all for you. You are my baby sister that I never got to see grow because of a stupid punishment from that asshole. I don't care what is the catch but you are not leaving my sight from now on"

"But Harry, where are we going to get the money fro-"

"Mel, stop worrying, I have got it all handled and from now on you will live the best life ever, all your wishes will be granted. Now c'mon we have a lot of catching up to do" He grabbed my hand and lead me towards his car which looked.....expensive. Wait what does he work as? What if he also got into this business?!

He drove away from the mansion and I watched it fade away. Still could not believe that this has actually happened, I wanted to pinch myself but part of me did not want to wake up from this dream however I had to make sure.

I turned towards Harry "How is mother?"

The light in his eyes disappeared and I wondered if I said something wrong.

"She passed away last year, Drake's death got the best of her and the only way she could cope was drugs. She ended up killing herself when she overdosed on marijuana"

"Oh.... I am sorry" I honestly did not know how was I supposed to feel, I was obviously devastated that I will never get to see her again but another part of me knew that she was probably happier wherever she is now. 

"So...... let me update you a bit about myself. We now live in London, I bought a mansion there few years ago and that is where I usually spend most of my time unless I am touring or on a trip to LA, in this case I stay in my other mansion the-"

"Woah woah slow down, when did you become so rich and who is we?"

He chuckled at my question " I joined the x-factor in 2010, became in a band and we are kinda a big thing, like The Beatles. And by we I meant my band mates, they usually stay with me in London since they all got houses in their hometowns"

I gaped at him with my mouth open, "Like The Beatles?, so are you a celebrity now or what?"

"Yes love, and we are home"

I looked outside as soon as the enormous gate opened and I was shocked at the sight in front of me. The mansion was HUGE, not as big as the mafia's but almost there. I was astonished as I took everything in, it was seriously a dream house, something that I have only seen in pictures. Harry stopped the car and I did not waste a moment as I leaped out of the car.

"Did my car smelled or something?" Harry said jokingly, I laughed.

"It just all seems surreal to me"

He laughed and walked ahead to open the door. He walked in and held it open for me, his eyes taking in all my actions as a soft smile never left his lips. I looked around me in awe, this place was gorgeous, absolutely breathtaking. I took in everything around me when I was cut off with someone's voice.

"Mate, you said you won't be back until tomorrow. Perrie is here and w-" He stopped when he finally noticed me standing beside Harry. I took the chance to properly look at him, he had on grey sweats and a white shirt that showed off the tattoos he had underneath, he had beautiful caramel eyes and his black looked so soft I had to stop myself from touching it.

"Zayn, this is Melanie, my baby sister" Harry threw his hand over my shoulder as he pulled me closer to him. I looked back at Zayn and the confusion was clear on his face. 

So his name is Zayn, beautiful.

"Sister? since when?"

"I will explain everything later to you mate, Mel I will show you to your room and I am sure I can find you some clothes from mine, then I will take you shopping tomorrow. Alright love?" I smiled at him in return as I followed his lead to my new room.

"Sleep here tonight and tomorrow you can choose a room and we can decorate it whichever way you please, sleep tight love" he walks over leaves a kiss on my cheek then heads out.

I look around me and finally get the courage to pinch myself, I open my eyes and I am still there. I can finally sleep peacefully!
