The Mafia’s Possession

Melanie opened her eyes slowly the next day and closed them again as the ray of sun flickered through the window and landed on her face. She rolled on the bed then opened her eyes.

”Holy crap, my head is spinning,” she murmured as she sat up.

She yawned lazily and noticed something was unusual on her body. She glanced at her body and widened her eyes when she saw that she was wearing just a tube and pants.

She creased her brow as she tried to remember what happened last night.

”I was watching Alive… Sipping alcohol…” She widened her eyes. ”I got drunk!” She half yelled and covered her body possessively, then clear her throat.

She closed her eyes and an image where she was taking her clothes off in front of Flynn flashed through her head.

”What was that? Did that happen in the movies I was watching? Wait… Alive is not romance. That face was mine too. What! Did I strip naked in front of Flynn? Aish!” She screamed as she rolled on the bed crazily.

Everything that happened last night suddenly flooded her head like a river.

”I sucked his nipple… And he sucked my breast! Gosh!” She screamed on top of her voice and covered herself with the duvet.

”Did he have sex with me last night? I don’t think so… But he saw my nakedness. Melanie, who asked you to drink?” She whispered under the duvet.

Soon, she heard the door creaked open and she closed her eyes hurriedly.

She was going to pretend she wasn’t awake.

Damn, What sort of awkwardness is this!?

She felt the duvet that covered her head move away.

”Good morning, darling. Are you still sleeping?” Came the deep voice of her husband.

Melanie said nothing and closed her eyes when she felt his lips on hers.

How could this man kiss someone that has not washed her mouth so early in the morning?

”I know you’re awake. I’ve prepared soup and drugs to ease your hangover. Come out, I’ll be waiting for you,” Flynn patted her hair and walked out of the room.

When she was sure Flynn had left the room, Melanie opened her eyes and sighed frustratedly.

Well, it’s not like she was going to stay inside this room throughout the day or their honeymoon.

She stood up reluctantly and entered the bathroom to brush her mouth and wash her face. She couldn’t stop sighing inside the bathroom till she came out.

She opened the closet and saw Flynn’s shirt first. She was too frustrated to start looking for any other cloth. She wore it and walked towards the door, opened it, and tiptoed out of the room.

”Good morning.”

”Ah, you startled me,” Melanie said, bewildered and faked a smile at the man that was in front of her.

”Hope you slept well,” Flynn smiled and pulled her to himself and leaned towards her for a kiss.

”Yes. Well… I’m having a headache,” She muttered awkwardly.

“That is bound to happen. Come and have a sit,” Flynn led her to the dining table and went to the kitchen.

He came back later with a bowl of soup and dropped it in front of her, then he sat beside her.

Melanie took the spoon and dipped it inside the soup and put it in her mouth.

It wasn’t bad, seems like it was only hangover soup her husband could make.

She glanced at Flynn that was staring at her with keen interest and suddenly choked on the soup that just entered her mouth. Flynn grabbed a glass of water and fed it to her, petting her back.

”Flynn, I… I did not remember what happened last night,” She faked a smile as she sip another soup.

”I didn’t ask,” Flynn raised a brow, smiling at her.

It seems her husband enjoyed seeing her so miserable like that.

”I know… I’m just telling you,” Melanie said.

”Okay,” Flynn answered curtly.

Melanie glanced at Flynn and his chest and she saw the tattoo that was on his chest.

She knew he had a tattoo but she did not know what it was as though her husband hardly reveal his chest unlike today that he wore only shorts.

She furrowed her brow when she saw that it was a love drawn on his chest with a letter H inside the love.

She dropped the spoon and glared at Flynn.

”What does the letter H inside the heart stands for?” She sulked.

”You can give it any meaning yourself, don’t let it bother you,” Flynn smiled at her sweetly and Melanie hissed loudly.

”Is that Camila’s other name? Camila Hayes… Flynn!” Melanie hit the table with her palm and glared at Flynn.

”It is not Camila or anybody, don’t be bothered by it. Finish your soup before it gets cold,” Flynn said and Melanie eyed him before she sat down.

She carried the bowl and started drinking directly from it.

”Last night…”

Flynn started and Melanie spat the soup back inside the bowl and dropped it.

”What!?” She snapped and Flynn laughed loudly.

”You said you love me. Is that true or were you just messing with me?” Flynn asked.

”Did I say that?” Melanie whispered, pretending to be shocked.

”I know you remember everything that happened the previous night,” Flynn smirked.

”What? what? What if I do? Can’t I love you? Are you the only one that wants to love? Yes, I love you!” Melanie said hurriedly and left the dining hurriedly.

Flynn smiled heartily as he cleared the dining table.

It turns out that his wife loves him.

Flynn walked to the living room and went to sit beside Melanie whose hair covered her face. Flynn removed the hair from her face and raised her chin to face him.

”Are you embarrassed?” Flynn asked.

”So much,” Melanie groaned.

”You should not be embarrassed. I am your husband and I love everything about you. Okay?” Flynn asked and Melanie nodded.

”Since when have you loved me?” Melanie asked in a whisper.

”It has been over three months,” Flynn answered with a smile plastered across his face.

”Really? How? But we haven’t met then,” Melanie asked him.

”Your pictures were delivered to me every day till I finally met you. I got addicted to seeing new pictures of you three months before we met,” Flynn answered.

”Wow… How sweet,” Melanie smiled.

”How about you?”

”I was quite attracted to you the first time I met you. You are very handsome so which lady won’t dream of having you? I didn’t let it show because of the situation that surrounded us,” Melanie answered.

”So cute,” Flynn giggled and kissed her lips gently.

”I got something for you,” Flynn smiled and dipped his hand in his pocket.

”Wait, I’ll close my eyes. I love surprises,” Melanie grinned and closed her eyes which Flynn found funny and laughed loudly.

He brought out a velvet box wrapped with ribbon and said, ”You can open them now,” then opened the box.

Melanie covered her mouth as she stared at the diamond necklace that was inside the box that her husband held.

”This is beautiful!” She exclaimed as she removed the diamond from the box slowly.

”Do you like it? I don’t know how to choose a gift for a woman,” Flynn asked.

”Like? I love it,” Melanie giggled.

”More than me?” Flynn faked a sad face and Melanie laughed.

”Of course, I love you more,” She said and leaned to kiss his lips hurriedly and pulled away.

Melanie laughed when she saw Flynn’s ear reddened.

”I can’t believe you just blushed like a schoolboy,” She said amidst laughter.

”You can say that again,” Flynn joined her in laughing.

”Let me put it on for you,” He offered and Melanie gave it to him.

Melanie turned her back at him and pulled her hair forward so that he won’t have a problem putting the necklace on her.

After Flynn had worn the necklace on his wife, he refused to let her go and started kissing her neck.

”Flynn…” She moaned.

A few seconds later, Flynn stopped kissing her neck and Melanie faced him, smiling stylishly.

”Are you…”

Flynn started and was interrupted by his phone that rang.

He checked the caller and it was Camila.

Melanie was going to make a deal out of this if she knew. He declined the call and faced Melanie who was glaring hard at him.

”Pick that call when she calls again,” Melanie said.

”Ehn?” Flynn muttered.

”I know it is Camila,” she said and the phone rang again.

She snatched the phone from Flynn, accepted the call, and put the call on speaker.

”Hey darling,” Camila’s voice rang out and Melanie scoffed inwardly.

Darling? Wow, Flynn, wow!

”Camila,” Flynn answered and glanced at his wife who had an unreadable expression.

Why the hell did Camila call now?

”I’ve been calling you days, and your number hasn’t been going through.”

Flynn opened his mouth to talk when Melanie mouthed to his shut up as she covered the speaker of the phone.

”Tell her you are on a honeymoon with your beautiful wife,” she whispered and removed her hand from the speaker.

Flynn shook his head and answered, ”I am on a honeymoon with my beautiful wife.”

He shook his head and mouthed to Melanie, ”was that necessary?” And Melanie only gave him a thumb up, nodding her head.

”What did you mean, Flynn?” Camila asked and Melanie imagined the irritated look on her face.

”He said he is on a honeymoon with his beautiful wife, didn’t you hear that?” Melanie answered, smiling mischievously.

When Flynn opened his mouth to talk, Melanie gave him a killer look and he shut his mouth immediately.

”What are you doing with Flynn’s phone?” Camila asked through gritted teeth.

”You mean ‘what am I doing with my husband’s phone?” Melanie scoffed.

”You think Flynn is yours because he married you?”

”And you think he is yours because he fvcked you?” Melanie sneered.

Flynn giggled silently, wow, his wife is savage.

”Hey!” Camila roared.

”I did not have the chance to talk to you after the day you shamelessly presented yourself as my husband’s mistress. I bet you enjoyed our wedding ceremony. Well, I’m so glad you honored our invitation,” Melanie snickered.

”B! tch! Do you think I came to your wedding because I wanted to? Excuse me, I came to avoid the media’s problem,” Camila sneered and Melanie laughed.

”I didn’t ask you that, Miss Hayes. At least, you watched my handsome husband make vows in front of you. Well, My husband’s ex-mistress, I have to go now, I can’t afford to spare any second of my sweet honeymoon,” Melanie smiled.

”Bitch! I’ll get Flynn from you at all costs. He is mine to begin with!” Camila screamed.

”Did Flynn tell you he is a pencil that can be stolen away? Huh, did water get inside your brain?” with that, Melanie ended the call.

”I can’t believe you didn’t say anything when your ex-mistress was insulting me!” Melanie sulked in a low voice.

What was this lady saying?

Wasn’t she the one that insulted Camila?

”I’m sorry, you told me not to say anything,” Flynn patted her.

”I said that? Did I say that with my mouth?” Melanie glared at him.

”No, darling. Babe, were you not the one that insulted Camila?” Flynn stared at her.

”Look at the way you called her name? Camila… Imagine,” Melanie whimpered.

”I didn’t call her in any way you…”

”I see you haven’t gotten over her. You are still in love with your mistress,” Melanie shook her head.

”I never loved Camila,” Flynn said defensively.

”That fact that you have her last name on your chest proves it all,” Melanie shrugged.

”This is not Camila,” Flynn said.

This woman was driving him crazy.

”Melanie,” Flynn called her.

”I can’t believe you just called my name like that and you seductively called your ex-mistress,” Melanie shook her head.

This woman was a big deal…

How did he seductively call Camila?

His wife was going to drive him crazy.

Unknown.

The man sat at the porch of his house and sipped his wine slowly.

He slowly remember everything that had happened.

Ten years ago, when Davies Harlan, Flynn’s father had made his son the leader of the mafia on his death bed, the enmity started.

He was the next in command of the mafia that was named ‘hot blood’ when Davies was shot by an opponent.

He had expected Davies to appoint him as the next Mafia lord when Flynn suddenly returned from Italy and snatched the crown from.

Well, things might not have gotten worse the way it was, but the arrogant tycoon dismissed all of them and appointed his men. And those men… were the men Davies cherished before he died.

As if that wasn’t enough, the b! tch Flynn just married was the lady that stole from him seven months ago.

Hehehe… Another person from the Harlan Family.

”I’ll make you pay if not I cease to be Zach Tordoff,” He said and an evil grin formed on his lips.
