Chapter 10
**** MELINA P. O. V ****
He left the room, and I couldn’t stop having trouble breathing for 5 minutes. The smell of his cologne filled my nose, and his wet hair and eyelashes were so geez. His lips, which were very close to mine, were killing me. I start to think straight. I didn’t even know what to say to him. “Melina, get your head back on straight! You have to hate him, and now you can’t even tell who he is.” I said that I had hit my face. “Why should he get so close? I’m sure he treats other girls in this area the same way.” “If we meet again, I might not kiss him. I’ll think about biting off his lips instead. Bastard.” I muttered, and the door opened again. I looked up in fear as Agnes walked back into the room. “Are you okay?” She asked, so I ran to her and gave her a hug. “I am no longer good enough, Agnes. I can’t be happy as long as I’m in this mansion and close to that monster.” I said that I was brushing my hair down with my hand. “You do not have a desire now Melina. You should get used to it, right?” She said it, and I groaned and nodded. “I desire so. Whenever he comes toward me, I only see a monster.” I said something, and she or he squinted. “That’s not true.” She said something, and I let out a loud breath as I sat on the ground again. “Fine. To be honest, he’s so kind about that. That doesn’t change the fact that I hate him, though.” I said it, and the person sitting next to me smiled. “Even if you dislike Master. When he gets close to you, you get lost in his beauty. It’s like he has this pull.” She said this while looking into space. “I don’t think that would work for me,” I said with pride. “When he got close to you, did he come close to you?” She asked, and I thought back to what had happened. I said, “Yes.” “How near?” She asked, and I raised an eyebrow. “Are you really doing this right this minute?” I asked her or him, and he or she laughed. “I’m really curious to know if his charm didn’t work on you.” I rolled my eyes at what she said. “Almost there. I could feel his breath.” I began imagining it again. “Wow. That’s not too far off. When you felt that way, what did you think you had learned? Be sincere.” She said something, and I looked into space. “All I could think about was how warm he was and how much I wanted to kiss him,” I told her, and she or he smiled. “Don’t make yourself feel bad about it. We all think we hate him because whenever he’s around, he drives us crazy. One thing you shouldn’t do, though, is kiss him.” She said something, and I looked at her. “Yes, that’s about right. Do you mean to say that he hasn’t already kissed everyone right here?” I asked, and she or he shook his or her head. “For the record, he has not kissed any of us in any way. He should have told you how to do it, didn’t he?” She asked for. “He let me know. They are not smart.” I told her/him, and she/he laughed. “They are stupid, but we should obey them because it is the right thing to do.” I sighed and agreed with what he said. “I’ll do it. I just want to stay alive and kill him on my own.” I said something angry, and she put her finger on my lips. “Don’t say that ever again. No one should listen to you when you say this. You’re not the only one who feels this way, but we’ll make sure to keep it in mind. We want to kill him more than anything else.” She said something, and I took her hand. “He didn’t say he was sorry. How do I plan to apologize to him this evening? Agnes, I am so scared.” I said, my voice shaking. “You might be good enough, Bee. Just act your best around him. Don’t struggle. Don’t be hard to please.” She talked, and all I did was nod. I said, “Thanks,” and she or he smiled and stood up. “I need to leave right now. I shouldn’t be here where he can find me.” I smiled when she said it. “How did you get in? You get past the guards?” I asked, and she or he gave me a suspicious smile. “My boyfriend permits me in. Tony is his name.” She said, and I gave her a big smile. “When did you plan to tell me about your boyfriend?” I asked, and she or he gave me a smile. “Didn’t want to bother you with my personal problems. We don’t want grasp to know about it, so we’re keeping it a secret.” She said, and I put my hand to my mouth.Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
“Your secret is safe with me,” I told her or him, and they nodded and left the room. As soon as she left, I started to feel bad again. I put my head against the wall and began to quietly cry. I thought about the orphanage home, and that brought more tears to my eyes. If I had known I could be in one of these big messes as soon as I left these walls, I would have never thought of leaving. I don’t include Ma’am Rose or the children. And Harrison is the one I miss the most. We’ve been friends since we were babies. But we were split up when a few couples came to pick him up. I wish someone would find me here and get me out of this prison. This place is hell, and I can’t spend the rest of my life here like the rest of the people. I want to leave right now. I need to get away. I’m going to give you a plan. Even if it wants to, making friends is definitely one of his guards. I might do this if I want to get away from this jerk.
**** HARRISON P. O. V ****
“Nina, thank you very much. I loved the food very much. You are a very good cook.” I told her, and I saw her blush. “Harrison, thank you. I’m glad the food was good.” She said something, and I smiled as I looked at her. “So, that’s about a hint about where Melina is. Can you tell me right now? At least to get some peace of mind before going to bed.” I said it, and the person sitting next to me nodded. “She was taken by Jason Emerson.” She said something, and I wrinkled my brows. “Jason Emerson’s Jason Emerson, who is well-known?” I asked in shock, and she or he said yes. “Yes. You seem to be surprised.” She said, “I’m looking at you,” and I nodded. “What does Jason Emerson need from Melina if he is whole?” I asked with a lot of worry. “She got on his nerves, so he took her away.” What she said. “What?? What was the right thing for Melina to do? She doesn’t always cause trouble.” I told you. “Then you don’t really know her. If she didn’t have problems with her motives, he wouldn’t be holding her right now.” She said it with anger. “Stay put. Does each of you have problems? Why do you say bad things about her?” I asked to look at her with suspicion. “We do not have problems okay? All I have to do is look at her. I’m sure Mother will be happy to be with us.” She said this while smiling, and I agreed. “So, where can we find this Jason?” I was eager to ask. “I know where he lives. Tomorrow, I’ll take you there.” I smiled when she said it. “Nina, thank you very much. I really understand it.” I said something, and he or she took my hand. “It’s good. Even though you haven’t told me who she really is to you. If she was just a friend, you might not care this much.” I smiled when she said it. “I really like her. We’ve been friends since we were kids in the same orphanage. But my new parents took me away from her a few years ago.” “We didn’t laugh and talk as much as we used to, but I made sure to see her every weekend because I never forgot her. It went on like this until the last day, when our parents told me she had left.” “So, I’m going to look for her. I was planning to tell her how I felt and get her out of the orphanage home for good when I heard that she had already left. I felt a lot of pain.” I told her what happened, but all she did was stare at me with a cold face. “She really is lucky to have you in her life.” I smiled when she said it. “What makes you say that?” I requested. “You care, you’re nice, and you’re charming. She is a very lucky girl.” I laughed at what she said. “Thanks. And believe me when I say you’re not scary at all.” I said something, and she or he smiled. “Don’t go there at all.” She said her status had changed. “Where do you want to go?” I asked to have a look at her. “We should head back home now. It’s getting dark, and this area is always dangerous at night.” She said it, and I raised an eyebrow. “Oh okay. I’ll help take care of the pigeons.” I said something, and she or he laughed. “You can not. They do not know you. You can simply per cent your things. I might be executed in a minute.” She stated and I nodded grabbing my bag. I looked at her back and saw her spray some Cereal in the middle of the store. The pigeons then rushed in to eat. “It’s time to go. They are eating now. Right now is the best.” She said something, and I agreed as we both left the store. She closed the store, and we left to take a walk through the market. “It takes 20 minutes to get home from right here.” I smiled when she said it. “Are we going somewhere on foot?” I asked, and she or he said “yes.” “Yes. I do not have much. I’m saving money for my mom’s funeral.” She said it, and I was sorry for her. “Can we take a three-wheeler?” I asked as soon as I saw one. “Yes.” She said, and I went there. “Come on in,” I said, and she or he turned red. “Thanks.” She said something back, and I also gave in. As we sat, we were pretty close to each other. The tricycle moved, and it suddenly shook, which made her hang on to me very tightly. “I apologize.” I smiled when she said it. I told her, “It’s fine,” so she could keep talking to me. At least, she is the easiest friend I have right now, and she is helping me find Melina.
