Babysitting The Billionaire’s Adult Son

Melanie woke up to the sound of a heavy booth thumping on the floor, she groans and opens her eyes only to meet with blurry faces in the room. She tries moving her hands but she feels her hands have been tied to her back.

“Ahh,” she groans. Shaking her head to steady her vision but it seems impossible.

“Guess someone is finally awake after being asleep for over an hour.” A voice chuckles beside her which makes her almost jump from her seat.

Melanie twirl her face to where the voice is coming from, she could swear she has heard that voice before but she doesn’t remember where.

“Who… Who are you?” She grumbles and then a bucket of chill water was poured on her head from the back, the water dripping down from her head to her toes.

Melanie shiver as her vision become clear and her eyes met with the clear face of the lady in front of her. “Mia Gordon!” she gasps in shock, moving back a little on her seat which makes the iron chair make an awful noise.

“Yes,” Mia chuckle standing up from the seat. She draws her chair a little closer to Melanie and rests her leg on it. “You’re seeing right,” she smirks.

Melanie couldn’t believe Mia could do such a thing to her, she scoff when she look past the vicious lady in front of her to the men standing by the entrance with guns in their hands.

“Why are you doing this to me?” Melanie asks, her voice breaking as the thought of what they would do to her flash through her mind. The thought makes her tremble in fear.

Mia’s face drawled closer, their face is an inch apart and Melanie could feel her breath fanning her face, Melanie hastily move her gaze to the floor, avoiding her gaze.

“Do you want to know why?” Mia asks calmly, she sneaks two fingers under Melanie’s chin and raises her face to meet with hers. “I’m doing this because you’re awfully stupid.” she spit on Melanie’s face and kick her off the chair.

Melanie hit the ground with a loud thud, she winches in pain and feels a pair of hands grab her up. She clamped her teeth in anger and look up at Mia with hatred.

“What is it that you want from me?”

“Ahh,” Mia beamed happily, she squats to her level and put her hands on each side of Melanie’s shoulder. “If you’d asked me this question from the beginning, I wouldn’t have been on your tail. Neither would I have my boys tied you to a chair like an animal. You’re a human being, you didn’t deserve any of these awful treatments.” Mia fakes a sad face. She moves her palm to Melanie’s face, caressing her cheeks.

Melanie groan and move her face away. “Stop putting on a facade and tell me what you want!” she yells at Mia.

“Okay, despite being tied down to a chair you still have the gut to speak to me in that manner. I should have asked them to hang you upside down to the ceiling.” she scoffs angrily.

“I don’t know if you’ve heard this before, but my father didn’t birth Alfred. He’s…”

“Your father is his uncle, I know that for sure.” Melanie rolls her eyes, she couldn’t believe Mia kidnapped her just to tell her Alfred’s birth story.

Mia seems a little shocked but it only lasts for a second. “Guess he loves you that much, he has never told anyone about it.” she shrugs, stands up and walks back to her seat.

“Yes, he does love me. I don’t need you to tell me that.” Melanie says proudly.

“Let me tell you what you don’t know.” Mia crosses her arms over her chest, she stares at Melanie for a while, then scoffs. “Everything you see that breeds the name ‘Gordons’ belongs to Alfred’s father. My father is just an orphan brought into Gordon’s family by Alfred’s father. They were both school mate and Alfred’s father begged his parents to adopt my father.” Mia smirk, pain is written on her face as she talks.

Melanie didn’t say anything, she stares at Mia in utmost surprise.

“When their parents died, they will each of their properties to Alfred’s father leaving nothing for my father, why? Because he’s not of their blood. The only thing they gave him was their first name ‘Gordon’, as if that’s enough. My father live in the shadow of Gabriel (Alfred’s father) he did everything he could, he serves the organisation and in the end they made Gabriel the chairman, leaving no spot for my father. It was only when Gabriel died in a car accident with his wife that they made my father the acting chairman of the organisation and he’s to step down for the true bone (Alfred) when he becomes of age.” Mia sniffled, Melanie stare at her blankly processing the story she was telling.

Mia chuckles and draws her feet on the ground. She grabs her hair and pulls it until she let out an awful cry.

“As if that was not enough, my father is doing everything in Alfred’s name. Every one of the companies he owned, he did everything in Alfred’s name and he’s willing to hand over everything to Alfred when he gets married.” she scoffed.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

“You see, basically I have nothing of my own. Even when I thought I could manage the position of Director, my father took the position from me and gave it to you as soon as you came into the picture. I hate you the very moment I set my eyes on you, I thought I only have to deal with Alfred but with you in the picture, I can’t! I can’t lose everything just because my father is trying to be a good man.” she grabs a gun from the nearest guy to her and points it at Melanie.

Melanie gasp seeing what the crazy lady is about to do to her. She tries to move away, but a hand grabs her down and pins her to the seat.

“You’re only doing the wrong thing. Nothing of this issue is Alfred’s fault. He have no idea of what your father intended on doing, and neither did he know about the story of your father not being his real family, even if he knew, he didn’t seem to care, all he wants is his family. He loves you as a sister, he loves your father as a child would love his father. He never meant to show up at the organisation, he did so because he needs your father’s approval on a contract. I never meant to take your position, your father gave it to me on his own accord. Had I known, I wouldn’t have taken the position. You have to stop this madness now before it’s too late.” Melanie cries, she tries breaking free but the rope they used to tie her hands and legs seems too strong for her.

“No. You can’t tell me what I wish to hear. Alfred never cared about anyone. If he care about my feelings, he would have reached out to me and asked how I am fairing. I hate him because my father put him first, if not because of his father my dad wouldn’t have been tied down to the Gordons, he would have done something of his own by now. They’re all so selfish that they keep using my father as their shadow.” Mia’s hands shake terribly as she speaks. She slams her hand on her head and cries in grief.

Melanie is already getting scared and she needs to do something to break free from the hands that are gripping her to the seat.

“Mia please calm down, don’t let your anger get the best of you. We can sort this out without shedding blood, only if you let me help you.” Melanie begged tears streaming down her cheeks as she watch Mia grieve in pain.

“No, I will shed his blood for the sin his father committed. You’re going to help me in my game. Get married to Alfred, have my father transfer everything to his name and then kill him so the properties will be mine. Or will you watch me take the lives of the ones you love most?” Mia roared, she points the gun towards the exit and the door creeps open with someone pushing Granny Vera inside the room.

The old woman staggered inside and fall beside her daughter.

Melanie’s eyes widen in shock as soon as she sees her mother being pushed in. “Mom, Mom what are you doing here?” she yells, shifting on her seat.

Granny Vera hastily stands up to her feet as soon as she regains her strength. She rushes up to Melanie and hugs her side.

“Hello, my dear, Melanie!” someone walk inside the room.

Melanie’s eyes widen in shock as soon as the person came into view. “You!” she yell gasping for breath.
