The Mafia’s Possession

Devon pulled the car in front of Melanie’s house and alighted from the car. His boss had given him strict instruction not to let Melanie take anything away from the house except her phone that he was going to get her whatever she needed when she started living with him.

One thing Devon did not really like in his boss was his arrogant nature. He has been working for Flynn for almost ten years and he could bet on anything that his boss had a soft side.

Flynn was older than Devon by 5 years, while Flynn was thirty years old, Devon was Twenty-five years old, and Flynn had been a thug boss for 10 years

Devon knocked on the door gently and Melanie opened the door.

”Oh, Hi.”

”Good morning, Miss Melanie,” Devon greeted the young lady before him.

”Would you like to come in?” Melanie offered.

”No, I’m fine. I’ll be waiting in the car,” Devon smiled.

”Who is that?” Melinda asked.

”Flynn’s Driver, he’s here to pick me,” Melanie replied.

”Mum, I’m sorry,” Melanie said to her mother when she saw her countenance fell.

”It’s alright Melanie, you know I’ll always root for what makes you happy,” Melinda smiled, hiding the tears that are threatening to fall on her face.

”Thank you so much mother, I’ll come to visit you one of these days before my wedding,” Melanie said.

”It’s alright, Mel,” Melinda said and pulled her daughter into a tight hug.

Melanie felt very bad for lying to her mother. It’s all because of that Tycoon, Melanie thought.

Melanie broke the hug, grabbed her two big bags full of clothes and some of her other stuff, and walked towards the door with her mother trailing her behind her.

Devon rushed towards her as soon as he saw her struggling with the bags, ”where are you taking these bags too?” Devon asked.

”I’m taking it to MY new home of course!” Melanie snapped, emphasizing the ‘my’ harshly.

”I’m sorry, Miss Melanie. The boss said not to allow you to take anything from this house that he’s going to get you everything you need while staying with him,” Devon explained.

”That arrogant tycoon! Do you think I’m going to listen to you and your boss? I’m sorry, ” Melanie snorted and tried to walk past Devon.

”Miss Melanie, the boss won’t take it lightly with you, I’ll advise you to drop those bags,” Devon said quietly.

”Melanie… Just drop the bags,” Melinda said from behind.

”And if you have any problems with that, you can just give him a call. He’s your Fianceé after all,” Melinda suggested.

”That is a great idea,” Melanie said and dipped her hand in her jean pocket and unlock her phone.

Oops! She does not have the arrogant tycoon’s phone number

”Actually… It’s fine mother, I’ll talk to him later,” She said, and Devon gave her a knowing look.

At first, he thought the woman already had Flynn’s number till he saw the disappointed look evident on her face.

Melanie entered and drop her bags and when she came out, a black Limousine pulled in front of their house behind the car Devon drove to pick her up.

”Boss,” A man obviously in his mid-forties bowed for Devon.

”Mrs. Tatum, here’s the driver that will drive you to your new house,” Devon said, and Melinda nodded her head.

”Miss Melanie, shall we go?” Devon asked and Melanie nodded her head.

”I love you very much mother,” Melanie hugged her mother one last time before she strolled towards the car.

Devon opened the car for her and Melanie entered the car, trying to control her tears from falling.

Melanie watched her mother who kept waving her hand even though the window was tinted and could not see her daughter.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

As soon as Devon drove the car, Melanie released the tears she had been keeping.

”I didn’t mean to do this to you, mum. I’m sorry,” Melanie said amidst tears.

Devon felt very bad for the young woman crying profusely in the back seat. He stopped the car and grabbed the tissue pack lying beside him and handed it over to Melanie.

”You need to stop crying, Miss Melanie,” Devon soothed her.

”Stop crying? My life is ruined! Flynn has ruined my life, Do you not know how it feels to lie to your mother? I can’t believe I’ll be spending the rest of my life with that man. You don’t understand!” Melanie cried harder refusing the tissue Devon gave her.

”Boss is a nice man, Miss Melanie. He has the policy of not hitting women, he won’t abuse you physically, I promise,” Devon said but his words didn’t stop the younger woman from crying.

”I’m done for,” Melanie cried.

Devon shook his head and started the car. It would be better if this woman cry a little, or won’t do her any harm.

Fifteen minutes passed and Melanie just stopped crying, ”How long have you known Flynn Harlan?”

”Ten years,” Devon replied.

”What!? You’ve been working for Flynn for ten years! Wow!” Melanie screamed.

”Mr. Flynn is a nice man, and I’ve never regretted working with him,” Devon said.

”Wow!” Melanie said mockingly and Devon smiled.

”What does Flynn hate the most in a woman?”

”I really can’t answer your question, I don’t know the kind of woman Mr. Flynn likes but I can testify that he likes mature women,” Devon replied, his gaze not leaving the road.

”Mature women?” Melanie grumbled and stared at her body. Damn, she’s very skinny.

”What can I do to incur his wrath?” Melanie asked.

”Are you planning on annoying him?” Devon glanced at Melanie.

”Not at all, just wanna know.”

”No matter what you do, don’t speak ill of his family, he will never take it lightly with you if you do that,” Devon said.

”No wonder he wanted to attack me yesterday,” Melanie laughed.

Devon took a look at the woman and shook his head. Wasn’t this the woman that was crying a while ago like she was going to die? Women can be so unpredictable.

”I didn’t get your name, What is your name again?”

”Devon.”

Melanie nodded her head and sat comfortably in the car.

She hopes she won’t face problems in Flynn’s house.

Many minutes later, Devon stopped the car in front of a huge building and pressed the horn of the car. Melanie stared at the well-trimmed flower decorated in front of the building and that already made Melanie wonder what the inside looked like already.

The gate opened and Devon drove in. Melanie marveled at the compound even though she was still inside the car. Devon prepared to open the door but Melanie stopped him.

”I’ll get down on my own. We’re buddies now,” Melanie smiled and opened the door, and came out of the car.

Buddies? Oh, please. You want my boss to roast me alive.

Flynn had told him that he does not want Devon near his future wife.

The house Melanie was in was the most beautiful house she’d ever seen in reality.

Melanie could never believe a house like this existed in real life if not that she was in it.

The house was painted white and gold which didn’t even suit the tycoon’s Aura.

Flowers were well-trimmed with different colors decorated in the huge mansion making her very curious about what the inside looked like. This is where wealth dwells.

She hopes the inside…

”Sister in law!” She heard a voice that jolted her back to the presence.

A guy and a lady were walking towards her and Melanie furrowed her brow slightly.

”That’s Elle and Kyle, Mr. Flynn’s siblings,” Devon whispered to her.

Gosh! The tycoon had siblings?

Melanie faked a smile when the lady hugged her.

”I’ve heard about you from my brother,” Elle broke the hug.

”I am Elle Harlan, this is my twin brother, Kyle Harlan,” Elle introduced.

Kyle grinned and hugged Melanie, ”I won’t allow myself to be cheated again,” Kyle said and broke the hug.

”I’m your cutest in law. I am Kyle Harlan, I own this beautiful mansion. Yeah, don’t be surprised, it is the lord’s doing…”

Elle hit Kyle on his head immediately which stopped the guy from completing his sentence.

”Since when did you own this building, Assh0le!” Elle snapped and Melanie laughed.

She loved the twins already.

”If Flynn does anything to hurt you, tell me and I’ll make him apologize, he listens to me. Yeah, I’m his mother,” Elle adjusted her cloth proudly and Melanie laughed loudly.

”Mother my foot,” Kyle rolled her eyes.

”Let’s go in, sister-in-law,” Elle said and grabbed Melanie’s hand.

‘Yeah, I think I’m gonna love it here,’ Melanie thought.
