The Italian's proposal

Chapter 19

Chapter Nineteen

Melody

Melody lay down for a while, her head was pounding, and she couldn’t bear to watch her parents suffer anymore because of the news she had given them about Equilay, and she understood that perfectly. She was one of those who had not believed the truth, even when she went to her sister’s house, she kept trying to believe that it could not be true. But the undeniable fact was that people betrayed, mistreated, stole, and made sure that others did not believe them capable of atrocities. Sure, he had his reasons, which, in his inner self, he felt were weighty enough to steal three million, but from there to throw the blame for his actions on someone else, that was unforgivable, even more than stealing.

It said much more about him to blame someone else for his decisions than it did to have made them.

Equilay could never justify blaming Melody, and that hurt her. Because she considered him almost her brother.

“Mel, honey,” was her mother. “Your phone keeps ringing, I think it’s Timothy,” she told her not much about Timothy, telling them that she met him at Doyle’s coffee shop, which was true.

But she did not tell them that she was going to marry him, as condition of Equilay’s theft.

Rather, in an impulsive act, she felt attracted to him and accepted his proposal.

She could not believe that her parents would have accepted such an absurd truth.

Falling in love with Timothy? When hell freezes over, and it rains popcorn.

“Don’t take it,” she immediately got out of bed and this made her a little dizzier than she already was, and she had to sit up.

“You need to sleep, your eyes are puffy,” her mother reached over and gently ran her hand over her face. “There’s something you’re not telling me about your engagement. Are you sure everything’s all right with Timothy?”

“Everything’s fine. We just had a little difference and I left.” Little? She wasn’t planning to go back to him. That wasn’t really small you could say.

“You can talk to me about anything,” her mother told her before turning to leave the room.

“Thank you. I just want to be alone for now,” she smiled at her to reassure her, though inside she was dying.

Timothy would get her parents’ address easily, nor did she doubt that he’d be home any minute. He had gotten her parentage with Equilay, that only meant he had detectives who
