Betrayed By Husband, Stolen By Brother In Law

"If you don’t want to tell me, we can wait here, forever, Melon."

Melanie looked at the stubborn man who was glaring at her and sighed. At this rate, they really might be stuck in her office forever. She sighed and blurted out," Your ex came to visit me."

Adam straightened up then. His arms were still around her waist, but they’d gone slack. "What? Why?"

Melanie looked down at her hands resting on his chest. She could feel his heart thumping beneath them. "You heard me. She came a couple of days ago. Also, I don’t know why she came because I never have her the chance. I might have showed off a few things and... anyway, I didn’t tell you because... I didn’t know what to say. She just... showed up out of the blue"

Adam frowned at the words even as he looked at her consideringly. Why would Saira’s coming over upset Melanie? After all, when he’d feared that Saira would tell Melanie about the molestation etc, Melanie would be upset with him. But when Saira had dropped the biggest bombshell, Melanie had trusted him. Also, he understood what Melanie said about ’showing off’ so what had upset Melanie that she was still hiding it from him?

"What did she want? You really have no idea?"

Melanie hesitated, then slid off his lap, brushing her skirt down with trembling fingers as she stepped away. "She said she wanted to talk but I never gave her the chance."

Melanie knew she should tell him about her taunting him about the children and how Melanie had told her that she could have his children when she wanted and then Saira’s threat... but she did not.

Her and Adam were only going to be together three years and though she had only said the words about being able to bear a child for Adam anytime she wanted, it had been just words to instigate Saira and nothing more. However, Saira’s words had affected her much more deeply than she realized.
