Having spent two days in the hospital since Matthew fell ill, Melissa was exhausted and really wasn’t up for an argument. Finally, she replied with a hint of resignation, “Fine. If you insist on staying, then I’ll come back tomorrow morning to take over.”
It seemed like the only reasonable option to Melissa at that moment.

Marcus continued to gaze at her intensely, yet remained silent.
Melissa looked down, ready to gather her belongings, when suddenly Marcus caught her wrist… In an instant, she was in Marcus’ embrace.
Through his coat, she could distinctly feel the rhythm of Marcus’ heartbeat.
Melissa was taken by surprise, completely thrown off balance.
She hadn’t anticipated Marcus cornering her like this. After a brief moment of shock, she tried to pull away, but Marcus gripped her hand firmly, showing no signs of letting go.
Their faces were inches apart, his breath warm against her ear, causing her to feel increasingly uncomfortable.
“It’s just a reflex. Don’t read too much into it, Miss Brown.”
Melissa clenched her teeth, replying sharply, “I’m not thinking anything! Let go of me, right now.”
Yet, Marcus didn’t release her. He drew her even closer… Despite their son sleeping on the bed nearby, Marcus seemed utterly indifferent. Now he only had eyes for Melissa.

The bright light made Melissa’s cheeks turn a deep shade of red.
Her voice shook with anger as she demanded, “What are you trying to do, Marcus?”
Being under Marcus’ control made Melissa lose her usual confidence.
Her words sounded more like a plea than a question.
Marcus, with one arm wrapped around her waist, tenderly caressed her face with his other hand, overwhelming Melissa completely.
Feeling embarrassed, Melissa turned away. She wanted to argue with Marcus but felt too self-conscious to do so. After a tense moment, Marcus leaned in and ki*sed her passionately, leaving her breathless.
Melissa tried to resist, but Marcus was much stronger.
He gently held her chin, making her face him as he continued to ki*s her repeatedly.
Then, Marcus reached under her dress, causing Melissa to cry.
Suddenly, the moment lost all its romance.
Melissa hung her head, crying, clearly not enjoying his advances.
After a pause, Marcus looked at her and mumbled, “Sorry about that.
I’m drunk.”
