In love with my Driver ✔

TEN

THE NEXT DAY.

Melinda decided that she was not in good shape to go to the office today so she thought it would be better to work from home. Meanwhile, Dee had gone to her publishing house but not before making breakfast for Mel which she refused to eat till now. Dee, however, promised Mel that she was going to see her later in the evening.

After working non-stop for three hours, Mel decided to take a break to eat something and as soon as she rose to her feet, The doorbell rang.

She wasn't expecting anyone. Even though her best friends and Tracy promised to visit her today, It was too early for them to show up as they ought to be busy at their workplace by now. So no doubt it was Alexander that was at the door.

Melinda reluctantly walked to the door after which she let out a big sigh before opening up. She opened the door and found Alexander standing there with a very worried look and Mel did not fail to notice his heavy eye bag as if he had not slept for days.

"Babe, I have been so worried about you," Alex said as he began approaching Mel. But before he could even come close to her, she took two steps backward, giving him that 'don't you dare come close to me look.'

Alex exhaled then shut the door behind him.

"You refused to pick up my calls and didn't even reply to my messages. Do you know how worried I was?." Alex whisper yelled. He was starting to get annoyed as he does not seem to understand Melinda again.

"Cut that crap Alexander or whatever your name is. And stop pretending as if you care about me because you will never get what you want." Mel shouted at him which took him by surprise.

"Did I do anything to offend you?" Alex asked with a very confused look.

Mel gave him a very ugly glare and left his sight.

Alex was confused at Mel's behavior. The fact that she refused to let him come close to her hurt him a lot.

Soon enough, Mel came back with a brown envelope which she threw at him.

Alexander was able to catch the envelope before it fell.

He quickly opened it to see what was inside. Immediately he saw the items in it, his world being crumbled. His heart started beating three times faster. He looked at Mel who was fighting to keep her tears from falling.

"Mel, I can explain," Alex said, guilt evident in his voice.

Upon hearing his statement, Mel let her tears fall. No doubt he was guilty. Frank was right. She fell for the wrong person. A gold digger. A murderer.

Part of her wished he would deny and tell her all of this was a lie. "Maybe I was never destined to be loved by a man," She said to herself.

"I thought you were different. I thought you really loved me. I thought you were the one for me. But No. I fell for a murderer." Mel said in between tears.

"Please just let me explain, Mel. Please listen to me." Alex said with a sad voice as he tried to keep his tears from falling.

"What's there to explain? Absolutely nothing. These documents say it all." Mel said.

"I won't leave here unless you listen to me. Please hear me out." Alex pleaded.

"Go on. I'm listening." Mel said reluctantly as she insisted on standing while Alexander sat on the couch opposite her.

"My real name is Alexander Oliver Knight. I was born and raised in Chicago. The city of Naperville to be precise. My dad died when I was 4 and my mom had been the only one for me since then.
