Melt my heart episode 25

? MELT MY HEART ?

(I was too dumb to realize,… I’m in love with you,…?)

**CHAPTER TWENTY FIVE**

“Calm down miss Chloe, you can still live fine with it and…

Chloe stood and ran out of the office before he can finish

She didn’t st©p till she got to her car and entered

She cried bitterly

“So this is what I get for being a traitor, betrayer, a bit-ch, envy queen and more

*I’m doomed!” She lamented

No one to console her

Even if there is, consolation won’t solve this

“It’s definitely him, he’s the only guy who fv¢ks me, he’s the only one, that bastard eventually succeeded in his plans, ruining my life, damn!” She ranted with her hands on her head

” Snow I’m just sorry, I’m going to die anyways, even before this infection kills me….but I promise to make things right, I promise” she thought…

Monday**

” She’s fine now, she just fainted due to depression, but she still has to stay here for checkups, implore her to stay away from brooding” doctor said after several tests

” Thanks doctor” Gabriel replied

“Pinky plea-se, st©p scaring me” Evelyn said beside her be-d

She actually fainted this morning while descending the stairs

“It’s not me,I just want to see him” she replied weakly

“I un-derstand you, and I’m sad your puppy love has to be like this but plea-se princess, just be fine for me ok?” Evelyn said

” I’m sorry” Gabriel said from behind

“St©p talking Gabriel” Evelyn replied sternly

“I just think..I caused all these” he said

” Of course you did cos if you hadn’t allowed Ace into Snow’s life, she won’t be like this!, So st©p!, Talking!, Only God knows what he did to her, I don’t want to hear your voice” she replied, not looking at him

” Mum, can our family still go back to how it was before?, Can we still be happy?, Can Snow still change?, Can Ace go away?, Can I get Drake back?, I want to be with him” Pinky said, tears escaping her eyes

” You’re crying princess, it all lies in the hands of God,I’m just hoping he won’t watch us suffer, God is not cruel so he’ll surely help” Evelyn replied, wiping her tears…

Ace was drinking from his favorite drink , Ace of spades when he suddenly started feeling like throwing up

He dropped the cu-p and ran to the bathroom

He bent over to the sink and let out the puke

But surprisingly, it’s blood

Blood!

He’s vomiting blood again

It happened once when he was in England

But since he got to Korea, it has happened several times

Especially in the last three days

It’s so ramp@n-t that it would have been ma-king him brood if he cares

But he doesn’t

“I’m strong, nothing must freak me, I can only get myself checked after getting my money on Friday” he thought, rinsing his mouth with water

He’s becoming thinner everyday but from his own perspective, he thinks it’s because he smokes too much

He got back to the living room and that tiredness c@m£ again

He light a cigarette and puffed on it for so long, taking in as much as possible smoke into his skull

Almost driving him insane

But it’s worth it, so far it drove away the fatigue

He picked his phone and dialled Lincoln’s number

One of his bit-ches…

Drake walked into Florida High elegantly for his last exams

He just hopes for the best cos he ba-rely concentrated while re-ading, the thought of Pinky won’t let him

He got to the clas-s and luckily the exams hasn’t commenced

“Awww!” The girls tripped

He cares less

He went straight to the vacant seat at the back of the clas-s

He took his seat quietly and almost immediately, the supervisor for the first exam c@m£ in with the papers

“Settle down Everyone!* She announced

The clas-s went quiet as she started disturbing the questions

The exams started in earnest and luckily, he knows majority of it

There’s only one he doesn’t know though it’s because he didn’t re-ad that p@rt

He finished his two papers for the day and left the school Straight

He has no plans to make friends or mingle

“I wish I can just dissappear, professor Harley is ma-king life ha-rd for us, how can he give us ten whole questions on statistics” Stacey complained, pouting like a child

She’s at her house with Richa-rd

She actually invited him over for them to solve the statistics together

Richa-rd laughed

“Just say you’re lazy, simple”

“I’m not lazy!, I just hate statistics for ma-king my life ha-rd ” she replied

” You can solve this this, st©p pretending and lets solve it together, four each” he said

” Deal” she replied and took her pen

They solved differently, sitting beside each other on the floor with their books on the center table

She suddenly looked up after solving the first question

Richa-rd is still busy solving his questions

She smiled at his handsomeness

“No doubt, I like my bestie, why else would I be having sleepless nights because of him” she thought

She started imagining things and later thought of ma-king it real

Richa-rd wrote with one hand and his other hand is on the table

She placed her hand on t©p of his other hand

He looked up at her questioningly

She left her hand on his hand and started coming closer

“What’s she doing?” Richa-rd Wondered

She covered the space between them and went on her knees so she’ll be on his level

He kept looking at her as she started leaning in with a pas-sionate look on her face

“Wait!, Why does it feel like I’ve received that kind of look from someone before?” He thought as Stacey kept leaning closer

He closed his eyes and instantly, a face appeared in his memory

The face of a pretty lady, smiling

He opened his eyes quic-kly and drew away from Stacey, taking his hands off her hold

“Richa-rd …

” No, I don’t want to” he replied, thinking about the face that just popped up in his memory

“Who’s she?’ he thought as Stacey c@m£ to him

” Richa-rd , you hate me that much?, So much that you don’t want to k!ssme?” She said

” k!ssis exchanged between lovers” he replied

” Then let’s become lovers, I love you” she replied sincerely

” What!, Stacey!”

Friday**

“I dunno why but Snow isn’t allowing anyone into her office these days and it’s been long since I saw her so it’s ha-rd to do anything” Sandra said, walking hand in hand with Jake to her house, they actually strolled to get something in the sto-re together

“She even told all the workers not to come to work today?, Isn’t that Strange?” Jake said

” I know right?, It’s weird, it’s Friday, not Saturday, why would she tell us not to come to work, she communicated throu-gh the company speakers, I didn’t even get to see her” Sandra replied

” She’s going Crazy” Jake replied

“I wish I can just get a lead to help” Sandra said

A call entered her phone from an unknown number

” Who’s this?” She said after picking

“Chloe, Snow’s friend, It’s urgent, I have something to tell you about Ace and Snow” she replied

” What!, Ace and Snow?, Then spit it out?, What’s it about them?, I’m dying to Know” Sandra said, putting the phone on loud speaker so Jake will hear

“Ace is actually, the one controlling her” Chloe said in a breaking voice, it’s obvious she’s crying

“I knew it!, The n£¢klace?” Sandra said

“Yes, that’s it, it’s a magical n£¢klace he got from a sorceress in India” Chloe replied

” So If that n£¢klace is out of her n£¢k, Snow will come back” Sandra said

” Sure, be fast plea-se, plea-se help her” Chloe said and hung up

She let out her tears fully

That’s what she has been doing since she knows she’s living with the virus

Crying

She looked at the poison in her bag and smiled sadly

“It’s better this way right?”

Sandra and Jake got down from the car just in front of W investments

They ran in, thinking the elevator will take too long

They used the lift and even ran on it

They’ve actually checked her at home but she’s not at home, that’s why they c@m£ to the office after calling the cops who’ll come anytime soon

They got to Snow’s floor and ran as fast as possible to her office

Jake tried opening the door but it’s locked from inside

“Snow!, Snow!” Sandra yelled

“I think I told you guys not to come here today!” She yelled

” fv¢k off whoever it is!” Ace’s voice said

” The bastard is in with her!” Jake said and looked around for what to break the door with

He f0rç£fully re-moved the fire extinguisher from the wall and hit it on the wall

It opened f0rç£fully and they c@m£ face to face with Ace’s gun, right to their heads

“Take one more step and I’ll b!ow up your heads” he threatened

A l@pt©p is on the table in which a transaction is going on

The company’s funds is un-der transfer

To another account

No one nee-ds to tell them it’s Ace’s account

Snow sat, looking at the l@pt©p and waiting for the transaction to finish

It’s alre-ady in 94

“Damn” Jake thought

“Don’t move” Ace said again

He looked at the l@pt©p and looked back at them

Now in 97

He looked at the l@pt©p again and Jake gr@bb£d the chance

He kicked the gun off his hand and if flew to a corner

Ace made to retaliate but Jake is fas-ter, he punched him on the face and he fell as his headache c@m£ again

Sandra ran to where the l@pt©p is on

She gr@bb£d it from Snow who’s trying to take it

Sandra smashed it on the floor and it shattered to pieces

“Sandra!” Snow yelled in anger

“After getting this off your n£¢k, you’ll know I’m only helping you” Sandra said and her hand went to the n£¢klace on Snow’s n£¢k

She pu-ll-ed it off her n£¢k and though, it wounded Snow’s n£¢k but the fact that it’s out of her n£¢k is what matters

After she pu-ll-ed it off, Snow fell unconscious on a chair

“You bastards!!” Ace yelled and stood weakly to attack Jake

“I’ll be kind enough to let you go to prison with gapped teeth” Jake said and kicked him in the face, cheek to be precise

Two of his front teeth flew off instantly…..
