Chapter 14 Elle is terminally ill.
Melanie wasn’t sure of the hand shaking her vigorously very early in the morning, she muttered incoherently and opened her eyes.
Melanie jumped out of the bed when she saw Flynn in her room.
”What the hell are you doing so early in the morning in my room!? And, are you not going to the office today?” Melanie half yelled as she covered her chest with her hands.
”It is 11 AM, I thought you were dead, and it is Saturday today, you don’t think I’m a robot, right?” Flynn asked and dipped his hands in his pocket.
”Oh, whatever,” Melanie rolled her eyes.
”Can you freshen up and come downstairs when you are through? You stink so much for a woman,” Flynn mocked.
”I smell nicer than your mistress,” Melanie snickered.
“Oh please, Camila smells better,” Flynn smirked.
”I bet she is…”
Melanie rushed to grab her phone that rang on top of the drawer and smiled when she saw who was calling her.
”Hey baby,” She smiled waiting to hear Tyler’s voice.
Flynn furrowed his brow as he heard Melanie called someone baby over the phone.
Does she have a boyfriend?
How dare her call her another man baby right in front of him!?
Wow, she got some nerves.
Flynn watched Melanie giggling at the other side of the room and walked towards her. He snatched the phone and placed it firmly on his ear.
”I don’t care who you are, stay away from my Fiance, she’s my wife to be and I won’t tolerate you flirting with her,” He said and ended the call.
”Are you crazy, Flynn!?” Melanie screamed.
”Go and freshen up,” He said and dragged her to the bathroom.
”Flynn!” Melanie screamed as Flynn closed the bathroom door.
Flynn sat on the bed in Melanie’s room when his phone rang.
”Yes?” Flynn groaned as he massaged his temple.
”Boss, I found Angus.”
Flynn jumped up as soon as he heard that.
”Where the hell did you see him!?” Flynn queried.
”He was about fleeing the country, Lucas tracked him down,” The man answered back.
”Where the fuck is he right now?”
”We are on our way to the underground with him, he is unconscious at the moment.”
”Good, take care of the situation there, I’ll be there soon,” Flynn said and ended the call.
Flynn dialed Devon’s number and the man picked the call almost immediately.
”Boss,” Devon greeted.
“Clement called just now and said they found Angus.”
”That’s very good to hear boss!” Devon said.
”I need you to go over to the hideout and handle things over there. Don’t kill him but if he tries to escape, do not hesitate to kill him then,” Flynn ordered.Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
”Yes, boss!” Devon said and Flynn ended the call.
”That a$$hole!” Flynn gritted his teeth and turned to leave.
”How many people have you killed?” Melanie inquired as she leaned against the bathroom door.
”What do you mean?” Flynn stopped walking and stared at Melanie.
”I heard your conversation, you are going to kill him?” Melanie asked and Flynn rushed towards her.
”How dare you eavesdrop on my conversation!?” Flynn grabbed her arm.
”It’s not like I was planning to eavesdrop, I wanted to ask you something and I overheard your conversation. Wait, even if he does not escape, are you still going to kill him? What are you exactly?” Melanie creased her brow?
”I kill everyone that crosses my path. You don’t know who I am? I am a Mafia boss, I don’t tell people that, so be glad I’m telling you this,” Flynn smirked coldly.
Melanie, (…)
”Are you shocked that you can’t say anything?” Flynn looked at her and Melanie suddenly burst into laughter.
”Mafia boss? Are we having a lying competition? Mafia boss my foot,” Melanie rolled her eyes.
”You think it’s a joke? Hahaha, funny,” Flynn said with a straight face.
”Wait, are you really a Mafia?” Melanie suddenly stopped laughing.
When Flynn said nothing, she continued, ”You kill everyone that crosses you, why didn’t you kill me then?” Melanie asked.
”You think I didn’t want to kill you? I’m still digging out information on what you used the money for,” Flynn said.
”Will you kill me after you know what I used the money for?” Melanie asked with a hint of fear on her face.
”I’m quite nice, I could let you live if what you used the money for is quite useful, but I’ll kill everyone who spent the money with you if what you used the money for is not,” Flynn said and patted her hair.
Melanie froze where she stood when she heard what Flynn said. She dare not tell Flynn she spent the money on her mother. She bets Flynn hates her mother so much and he would never accept it was useful.
”Speaking of which, what did you use the money for?” Flynn asked.
Melanie said nothing and only looked at his green eyes, this man is truly a big deal.
”It’s fine if you don’t tell me, I trust Devon to do a good job. I’m leaving, Keelan is coming over in the afternoon. You know Keelan, right?”
Melanie; (…)
”He will be in charge of everything for our wedding, including your wedding dress. Don’t worry, he’s very good at his job. And… He is my friend, don’t fall for him,” Flynn said and finally walked out of the room leaving Melanie with her mouth opened.
Wow, she’s doomed!

Melanie entered Flynn’s room and select clothes from his closet that she could wear.
Everything she had bought the previous day was still in the car and they were too much to carry and that made her weak to even carry anything there.
Kyle and Elle were already in the living room downstairs when she got there.
”Is that you, Melanie…” Elle whispered as Melanie walked closer to her.
”Are you kidding me? Of course, it’s me,” Melanie smiled as she settled beside Elle.
”I ha… I haven’t seen y… you since, are… are… Kyle… Wa… water, I want… wa… ter,” Elle gasped for air.
”Elle!” Melanie pulled her closer and Kyle rushed to bring water.
”What is wrong with you, look at me!” Melanie shouted.
”Elle!” Kyle shouted as he gave the water to Melanie who urge Elle to drink it.
Elle gulped the water as tears fell from her eyes.
”Should we take her to the hospital?” Melanie panicked.
”No, she will be fine,” Kyle replied.
He stood up and went to Elle’s room to retrieve her drugs.
”Give this to her, Lanie,” Kyle breathed heavily.
Melanie made Elle use the drugs and a few minutes later, Elle slept off in Melanie’s arm.
Kyle carried his twin sister in his arm and carried her to her bedroom with Melanie trailing behind him.
After he had put Elle to sleep and covered her with a duvet, he came out of the room with Melanie.
”What is wrong with her and why did you refuse we take her to the hospital?” Melanie asked as they settled on the couch in the living room.
”Elle is sick,” Kyle said with sorrow evident in his face.
”Sick? What is wrong with her?” Melanie creased her brow when she saw the tears that fell from Kyle’s face.
”We found out she had Huntington’s disease six months ago,” Kyle said.
”Huntington… Wait, what’s that?” Melanie furrowed her brow.
”It is a progressive brain disorder that causes uncontrolled movements, emotional problems, and loss of thinking ability,” Kyle explained.
”How the hell did that happen?”
Melanie queried.
“It is a rare inherited disease,” Kyle said letting the tears flow freely from his eyes.
”It is curable, right?” Melanie asked.
”There’s no cure for Huntington, there are only treatments to reduce some of the problems caused by it,” Kyle cried.
Melanie brought out her phone and search on google more on the diseases.
”According to the doctor, it has been in her body since birth but no one noticed till it reached the last stage,” Kyle added.
Melanie covered her mouth with her palm as she confirmed everything Kyle said on the internet.
