The Mafia’s Possession

Melanie was about to dip her hand under the pillow when the man held her hand.

”What are you doing?” He asked and Melanie widened her eyes.

”Ehn!?” She answered.

No! I can’t get caught.

She screamed inwardly.

”Leave whatever you’re doing and kiss me, baby, I can’t wait to have you,” He grinned then pulled her mouth closer to his.

Melanie brought out the handkerchief and then smiled at the man beneath her. ”You can’t wait to have me, Right?” She chuckled and the man nodded his head.

Melanie pinned him down with the strength she had and covered the old man’s nose with the handkerchief.From NôvelDrama.Org.

”I’m sorry…” Melanie said in a whisper as the man struggled to breathe.

”Jerk!” She sighed as she stood up from the unconscious man’s body.

Melanie went through his stuff and brought out his wallet. She furrowed her brow as she saw the dollar notes in his wallet.

”What the f*ck! He did not have much money here!” Melanie shouted, baffled.

”Wow! He’s very useless!” She exclaimed staring at his unconscious body.

She packed the few dollars in his wallet and grabbed his wristwatch on the shelf which shone from afar.

”Wow, I still can’t believe this,” Melanie said as she rubbed her palm against her temple.

Melanie rushed to the restroom to change her clothes before his bodyguards come knocking.

She let down her hair and washed her makeup thoroughly before leaving the restroom.

Melanie walked swiftly amidst the impatient adults that could not wait to get a room.

”Wait, was that the amount that old man was going to offer me if he had his way with me, incredible!” Melanie scoffed as she finally came out of the club.

Melanie walked down the street before she saw a cab, she stopped it and directed it to the hospital.

”Miss Melanie, this money is not even close to the money needed for your mother’s surgery,” Doctor Simeon furrowed his brow.

”Erm… I know, Doctor. I’ll get the rest before next week runs out,” She said, smiling gently.

”Miss Melanie,” Doctor Simeon sighed.

”It seems you don’t understand what I said. Your mother has a brain tumor. She needs to undergo surgery as soon as possible, or else…”

”Nothing will happen to my mother, Doctor! I’ll raise the money. Try to understand, please,” Melanie grabbed his hand shakily.

”Miss Tatum, I understand you. But, your mother…”

”I know, she will get the surgery,” Melanie said, wiping the tears from her face.

Doctor Simeon left her standing and Melanie made her way to her mother’s ward. It is very late in the night and she was sure her mother would be fast asleep.

Sighing deeply, she opened the door and trailed in.

”Melanie,” Her mother said as soon as she sat on the chair beside her mother.

”Why are you still awake?” Melanie smiled as she took her mother’s hand in hers.

”I… I had a scary dream,” her mother whispered.

”You and your dreams.” Melanie laughed.

”Just be careful, Melanie, be careful please,” her mother smiled.

”Okay mother, go and sleep now. I need to be somewhere,” Melanie smiled.

”It is late in the night, Melanie.”

”Late? It is barely 11 pm. I’ll be back before morning,” Melanie said as she stood up.

”Melanie…”

”Don’t stress it, mother! I’ll be back soon!” Melanie said and rushed out of the room.

Melanie flagged down a cab and she directed the cabman to a club different from the one she went to an hour earlier.

”Gosh! I should not have cleaned the makeup… Damn!” Melanie muttered under her breath in the cab.

”Are you talking to me, miss?” The driver asked.

”No no no, drive faster, please,” Melanie said.

As soon as the car pulled in front of the Club, Melanie threw the money at the driver and rushed out of the cab.

She entered the public toilet in front of the club to change her cloth.

”My face…” She whispered.

How much she wished no one will recognize her.

This time, she didn’t pack her hair in a ponytail style, instead, she let it fall over her face.

Melanie left the restroom and entered the club that was just opposite the Restroom.

She was dancing, waiting for a man to approach her when she saw a man sitting alone in a very isolated part of the club.

‘Who knows… he could be loaded.’

Melanie smirked and walked towards the man.

”Hi!” She shouted amidst the loud music.

The man with the green eyes looked at her with a very deadly gaze and Melanie could not help but drool at the handsome sitting alone.

”Hi, handsome,” Melanie said as she kissed him on his lips.

She was about to pull away when the man pulled her back and kissed her roughly.

”Oh boy, take it easy!” Melanie screamed inwardly.

The man stood up and pulled her with him leading her outside the club.

”Where is this man taking me to now?” Melanie asked herself.

There was a cottage inside the club which the man took her to.

As soon as they entered, he pinned her to the wall and kissed her aggressively.

”Oh My God!” Melanie screamed inwardly getting drunk in the kiss.

Melanie was still fighting what she was feeling at the moment when she felt his hand inside her cloth.

”I am doomed!” Melanie widened her eyes.

Then he broke the kiss, he pulled off his shirt and walked to the door that was deep inside the room which Melanie assumed to be the restroom.

Melanie brought out the syrup in her bag, sprinkled it on the handkerchief then kept the rest inside her pocket.

Melanie sat for a while before the man came out of the room he had entered.

He sat beside her and resumed kissing her.

Not thinking twice, Melanie pushed him swiftly and grabbed the steel that was on the shelf, and hit It on his forehead.

”Arrgh!!” The man screamed in agony.

Melanie took the handkerchief and covered his nose with it.

”Wow… done!” She clapped her hand.

Melanie opened the drawer that was just opposite the bed and gasped at what she saw.

”Jesus!” She cried out.

Melanie’s hand trembled as she pack the dollars that were lying in the drawer.

”Wow!!” Melanie screamed as she covered her mouth with her palm.

Melanie took all the money and poured it into their handbag throwing her cloth that was inside on the floor.

“Heaven knows I did not mean to do this to you,” Melanie said as she stared at the unconscious man lying before her then at the dollar bill she had stolen from him.

She did not doubt that the money would be enough for her mother’s surgery.

Melanie rushed out of the room leaving her clothes leaving with just the bag that was filled with dollar bills.

”Oh Melanie, you’ve hit the jackpot!” She murmured as she finally got out of the club.
